Arrest Ora Band Of Murderers in Henry
County, Ky.

Arrest Ofa Band Of Murderers In Henry
County, Ky.
LOUISVILLE, August 26.-1t will be re.
membered that some weeks ago horrible
murder was done in the eastern part OF
Henry county, near small stream called
Sand Rifle, the particulars Of which was
given at the time. In substance the deed
was the killing Of one nego man, the
wounding Of another and the burning OF
the dead body Of the man killed, together
with that OF little girl, aged 10 years, and
also an infant after few days.
Four men were arrested, and upon a
preliminary trial three OF them were held
over to the Criminal Court, without bail,
and one let loose because Of the
want OF sufficient evidence. A num-
bel, OF worthy men conceived plan to
find out the guilty, and together with citi-
zens living in the neighborhsod where the
crime was done, went at once to put itinto
execution.
Not until last night was anything known
about the intended capture save to a few
who were working up the thing. They
very quietly left the town afrer making
such provision as to insure their safety
against bullets, and went 10 Sand Rifle.
The country in this vicinity is very rough
and hilly, and is the same as that known
as the kuklux country, and the same where
the Simmons gang committed the depre-
dations for which they were hung, four in
number, by mob. ..-
The men arrested were Jim Oman,
Warren Oman, Jack Estes, Clemps Oman,
viii Downey, Jim Estes and JEFF Oman,
seven IN number. None resisted the ar.
rest and claimed to be not guilty. All were
unmarried young men, ranging from, Is TO
22 years Of age.
It is claimed by the arresting parties
that evidence in their possession is sufti.
ciently strong to convict. A singular fact
is connected with the arrest, that the
whole number are grand sons Of one old
lady named Mrs. Oman, who Is now about
81 years OF age and was greatly incensed
by the arrest Of her "boys, whom she
claimed had been raised in right man.

in interest as the years roll on, Just as

Of our day commemorate in these reunions,
was a greater war than any OF It's prede.
cessors, It not only saved the Union
but 1t destroyed slavery, and in the
next twenty years It will be a
prouder boast to claim membership
In the Grand Army Of the Republic
than ever 1t was to say, II was soldier
Of the army Of Italy," We do not appre.
Giate it now, but those who come after US
will, and these soldiers Of our day will
take as high rank in the estimation OF
their countrymen as ever did the heroes
Of Marathon and Salamis in the eyes Of
Greece.
Tomorrow these men will gather in
great numbers at Steubenville. Some Of
the children who will see them on parade
will no doubt see their survivors meet
somewhere a quarter Of century hence,
and will tell Of the day that they heard
the story Of their campaigns from an
orator like General Garfield. That story
will then have the halo OF time around
it, and fair women will listen to it with
the wonder and admiration that Desde-
mona listened to the story Of the Moor. The
great war for the Union will shine out in
history like the illuminated pages in the
Sacred Text OF the Monks Of the middle
ages. 1t will bo the theme Of poets and
minstrels mall time. School children will
sing OF the men
"Who fell 10 Freedoms holy cause,
Fighting for liberties and laws.

Shall glow and freeze above their mould,

TuE idea Of establishing the Pottery
business in this city has not been given up
byany means. On the contrary 1t is taking
on an inchoate shape at this time. Mr..
W, A. lsett is particularly interesting him
self in the project. He has made obser-
vations at East Liverpool, Ohio, and Tren.
ton, New Jersey, that have satisfied him
that there is money in the enterprise, and
his present intentions are to 60 into
the manufacture here just as soon as a
satisfactory organization can be effected
and an eligible site procured. Mr.. John
Bodle.v has also been giving the matter at
tention, and has visited East Liverpool and
TreLton, aud like Mr.. Isett is persuaded
that the Pottery business is a pro6ta-
bic branch Of industry. This fact is shown
by the hourishing condition OF affairs up at
Liverpool, where no houses are for rent
to-day and where real estate Is firmly
held at good prices. That little town
boasts Of II Yellow ware and 10 White
ware Potteries at this time, and the tend
ency is to a still further increase. And
yet it has no advantages over Wheeling as
a point of manufacture. It's coal is
brought from Pittsburgh and its clay from
Delaware, and its shipping facilities are
confined to one railroad and the river.
Wheeling far excels it as a distributing
centre.
We are glad to see the interest that
these gentlemen, and others, are TAX
ing in this subject, and we trust
that the project will pan out into a reality.
We see no reason why it should not.
The same skill and management that have
inade so much money in the business up
at Liverpool will undoubtedly yield the
same result here.

The Mark Lane Express comments, as
given in this mornings European dis
patches, indicate rather gloomy outlook
for crops in England. The weather has
been almost persistently unfavorable for
maturing or saving the harvest, and
evidently the demand from this country
will be unusally large. Nothing but short
crops almost the world over enables this
country to get rid OF Its enormous crop
this year at anything like favorable rates.
The cereal acreage Of the United States has
increased since 1878, it's claimed and with
show Of probability, from 100000 to
9j,OOO0OO acres, an increase Of 81 per cent.
The population has not increased in that
period over II per cent, II It has that. The
surplus product not needed at home can
be disposed Of only through great
foreign demand. Last year this demand
was 935, 100000 bushels, this year it will be
larger but for five years before 1878 the
average export was but l25, 100000 bushels.
The grain will still go abroad when good
crops come again in Europe, but it will be
at prices which will leave smaller profits
for the producer and the railroads.
