| CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.-The ther
mometer stands at zero, with sew
eral inches of snow on the ground
In the Superior Court a suit has
been brought against Messrs. Aide
& Co., suspended bankers, alleging
a fraudulent concealment of their
property. The plaintiff is Caroline
Herms, who had $1,000 deposited
at the time of the failure.
A special dispatch from Steubenc
uille, Ohio, says that Stephen D.
Richards, who has been in jail,
charged with the murder of the
Harleson family, at Reamy, Nebras.
ka, made a full confession, acknowl-
edging the commission of nine mur-
ders within the last three years.
The first murder was committed
near Sand Hills, Nebraska. He
had an alteration with a man un-
known to him, and shot him through
the head. The next was Mrs. Ha-
zleton and three children in October
last he met Mrs. Harleson in Jail,
she having been arrested on charge
of aiding her husbrnd to escape JUS
tice. When she was released Rich
ards visited her, staying two weeks,
when he concluded to murder her
and take charge of her farm, which
he had pre-empted. He broke her
jaw and smashed in the back of her
head with a smoothing iron, then
killed the two oldest children with
the same instrument, and, seizing
her infant, dashed its head against
the floor. He then gave it
out that Mrs. Harelson had gone to
Texas to join her fugitive husband,
but suspicion having been aroused
search was made and the bodies
found under a straw-stack. Rich
ards fed before Harelson committed
the murder. Richards was assist
ing Sweed named Peter Anderson
in putting up building. Anderson
told some neighbors that he be-
lieved Richards had poisoned him.
The neighbors called the next
day, but Anderson could not
be found, Richardson was in possess
sion of Anderson's horses and
wagon, and while the neighbors
were searching the house, he
escaped. Richards admits that he
killed Anderson. He states that he
committed two other murders, but
refuses to give the names of the
victims. The Sheriff of Kearney
and Buffalo counties will take Rich
ards to Nebraska to-day. They
think he is a member of an organ
lied gang of outlaws in that region.

The Washington correspondent
of the Springfield Republican re-
lates the following:
"Scene, Pennsylvania avenue.
Time, Tuesday, after adjournment
of Senate. Weather warm and
pleasant. Senator Blaine, strolling
down the avenue, meets an old ac-
quaintance, Mr.. j (the one
time private secretary of Charles
Sumner), who has just come out of
a store with package of figs in
one hand and a fig in the other
which he is eating. Blaine: Why
j, how are you? (They shake
hands,. What are you eating? give
US one? blaine takes the package,
extracts couple of figs, chucks
them in his mouth.) How's your
health? j: Pretty fair. Blaine:
How's your family? J: Well as
usual, thank you. Blaine; Come
around and see me; good day. J:
Good day, Senator. Blaine moves
on down the avenue, looking every
man in the eye; speaking cordially
to everybody he knows. This sim
pie scene is sample of the Sena-
tors off-hand, hail-fellow-well-met
style, which makes everybody like
him whether they approve of his
politics or not.

SOUTH AMERICA.

PANAMA, Dec. 13.--There was a
fierce norther at Aspinwall on the
4th, which cut off communication
for several days both by sea and
rail. The royal mail and Pacific
mail steamers remained outside sew
eral days, the former being obliged
to leave on the 9th for England
without calling for passengers,
freight or mails. Heavy rains ac-
companied the gale. The Panama
railroad was flooded, the water in
some places standing ten feet on
the track. The storm partially
subsided on the 9th, but on the
night of the 10th the wind again
sprang up and increased to such
gale that the steamers Acapulco,
Para, Clyde and Bolivar were forced
to leave their wharyes and steam
out into the bay. The Clyde man
aged, with great difficulty, to get
outside. The Bolivar also went to
sea, but the Acapulco and Para
took refuge in Porto Bello. There
were several sailing vessels in the
bay laden with coal for the Panama
Railroad Company, of which three
were lost and the others badly !.
damaged.

SOUTHERN VAR Claims.

The Republicans of the State of Maine,
under the especial watch and care of Sena-
tor Blaine, have met and adopted platform.
This platform is a marvel of ambiguity on
the currency question, being designed, evil

money advocates. Only on one point may
its declarations be said to be straightfor-
ward and unequivocal. This is the state
ment that "the evident purpose of the Dem

power, is to pay hundreds of millions Of dis
puted war claims of disloyal men, already
presented to Congress, or awaiting favora-

SAVING THE PIECES.

Meeting of Officers and Creditors of New
York's Crippled Betting and Packing
Company--Terms Agreed Upon for a Re.
sumption of Business. Creditable Action
of Employees.
New YORK, July 3l.-The creditors of the
New York betting and packing company, which
was affected by the disaster of the Boston belt
ing company, met to-day. John II. Cheever,
president of the company, made a statement
that the company intended to pay all
debts in full with interest. All they
wanted was time. The assets were 1886. 907
over the debts. The bills payable
we're $6l9,710, and were held by banks and
merchants in Boston and New York. The en-
ployes of the company in the rubber factory at
Newton, have offered tocontribute two month 8
work if it would help the company, and that
the wages they receive were about ten thousand
a month. proposition was made by one of
the creditors that the company pay ten per
cent the LIST of September from their available
cash, and the remainder be paid in equal quar-
terly payments running through six months
from September 1st. Messrs. Durand
and Cheever on behalf of the company stated
their willingness to agree to this proposal, but
said that before entering upon it they desired
a committee of creditors to examine the books
of the firm and their statement, and ascertain
if they were correct. A committee was an
pointed and will report at future meeting Of
creditors.

we'll as he hoped in the parliamentary cleo
tons that took place on Tuesday. From
returns thus far received it appears that the
progressist party, which is violently opposed
to the government policy, has made import

also made considerable progress. The Ger

than was the one dissolved about two months
since. This may be regarded by him as an
excuse for still further revolutionizing the

CHILDREN's CORNER.
The Pret=e1 lMaher-A Fable.

Once there was queer little man, who
had two little callous spots right on the
back of his head where no hair grew, each
about as big as toad, which made him
look as if he had two large eyes behind.
They were made by foo lish habit he had
of sitting down on the back of his head.
He used to bake pretzels, and one day by
mistake he sat down on one of his pretzels
before it was baked, and it began to swell
up and lift the little man up, and it kept
swelling and lifting him up until he thought
he was an awfully great man, or at least
would be if he could only learn to read and
write. He sat on his raw pretzel so long
that he got hungry and broke off piece OF
the pretzel and ate it, and the piece kept on
swelling Just the same after he had eaten it.,
until he was sure he was very large, hand
some and important man. He thought all
of the ladies loved him because he was so
large and handsome, when they
were only laughing at him be-
cause he was such queer
puffy, dunpy, bad smelling little wart, who
thought himself SO fascinating. The piece
of pretzel he had eaten kept on swelling and
disturbing his imaginations, until he thought
that he was too large for his business, and
Gnat ne must quit pfetzel making and try an
office. So he took all the money he could
get and went to see the man who sold
offices, and bought large one for cent, and
after he had paid for it, the man told him
he must not tell anybody, or they would
both get in Jail, and that he must keep pay
ing for it all the while or he would take it
away from him. So the man who sells
Offices and always keeps the best for him
self, compelled the little pretzel maker to
continue paying for the office by saying to
him: sThere is more money in your Office
than in mine, and threatening to take it
away from him unless he did contine paying.
Bye and bye the little pretzel-maker began
to think that perhaps the people did not
know what great man he was, SO he gave
several little boys "a cent apiece and some
beer to go around and tell folks
that he was a very great and wise
man, and did not make pretzels any more.
After while the man who sold offices died
and the little pretzel-maker had to pay out
ali of his money for funeral expenses, and
another man sold the pretzel-maker's Office
to a butcher who had beer. eating some of
his own sausage.
Moral: Doctors must not take their own
physic, nor pretzel- makers eat their own
pretzels.
