TERRIBLE double murder is just reported
from near Virginia, Illinois. Two brothers,
named John N. and Robert Taylor, were pass
ing along the highway on horseback, and their
victims = Germans named Eichenaud, were
husking corn. The Taylor brothers dis
mounted and announced their intention to set
tie an old feud. They thrust a knife into one
of the brothers, killing him instantly, when
the other attempted to escape. They caught
him, and one of the Taylors held him while
the other severed the jugular vein with knife.
The murderers escaped, but the officers in pur-
suit have probably captured them ere this.
The stables of the Eighth Avenue Horse Car
Railroad, New York, were consumed by fire
few days ago, in which one hundred horses
persisted. The building was four-story
structure, and filled with highly infammable
material. The fire originated in lot of car
penter shops in the rear, and was uncontrol-
liable even under the attack of forty streams of
water. Four fremen were injured by the fall
ing of one of the walls, one of them chief OF
the Fire Department, Campbell, who, with
another, were, perhaps, fatally injured. The
loss is placed at $3.50 900, with an insurance
of $27O 600.
THE colored people of North Carolina are
becoming highly excited over the exodus from
that State to Indiana, and in their effort to ac-
! complish their point they are sacrificing what
little property they have for a mere pittance.
North Carolinians do not like the aspect of
things, and as an impediment, corn, which has
heretofore been selling for 45c. per bushei, has
suddenly fallen to 15c. per bushel. Many who
cannot pay their fare by rail are reported to be
walking. Those who have articles of any
value whatever are disposing of them at less
than one fourth their actual value to secure
| sufficient money to defray necessary expenses.
THE simultaneous appearance of the Presi-
dents annual message in papers in New York,
| Cincinnati and Chicago on the day preceding
| its delivery to Congress excited much surprise
| throughout the country, and was matter OF no
little annoyance to the President and his cab
met. 1t is thought copies of the message
| were stolen from the Government printing
Office and it has been ascertained that those
| papers publishing it in advance of its delivery
| to Congress paid $4O0 apiece for it. Secretary
Sherman's annual report Jared in like man
ner, at a cost of $3.50 per copy to papers using
it. Sherman offers $500 for the arrest of the
| thief.
| NEAR New Bremen, Ohio, boy discovered
a satchel of burgulars' tools in barn. The
boy notified his father, and the latter informed
| the authorities. City Marshal Frank Linden
berg and posse repaired at once to the barn,
| and after searching for some time in the hay,
ran across the men. Immediately Gus. Wehr-
man seized one by the arm, saying, {. You are
my prisoner The latter replied, " guess
not and fired, woundlng Wehrman in the arm
A general shooting match then occurred, dur
ing which four of the men slipped away, and
| one was shot dead. Just before the latter
death, he fired at the Marshal, inficting a
| wound in the abdomen which may result
fatally.
THE trial of Harry Hulse at Cincinnati,
charged with the rape of Hattie Hoberg. upon
one of the coolest days last February, has just
been concluded with a verdict of guilty. This
crime is evidently fresh in the mind of every
one. Hattie Hoberg is but six years old, and
she and her companion, about the same age,
were found lying in the snow and speechless
near the Marietta railroad late at night, where
thew were nearly frozen. Hattie was horribly
mutilated. Huse was arrested shortly aftel
for the crime, and it was with difficulty he was
Kept out of the hands of a mob. He is about
twenty five or six, married, painter by trade
and rather intelligent. Major Blackburn, his
attorney, will be given hearing in motion
for new trial on the 9th of December.
