Her Mother

Man shoots his Mistress and Kills
Her Mother.
st. Louis, Aug. 14.-An atrocious
double murder was committed here to-
night. Thaddeus E. Baber, who lives
with his family, consisting of his wife,
little boy, about seven years old, and
his wife's mother, an old German wo-
man named Shodler, quarrelled with
his wife some four or five days ago,
and left home about 4:30 this afternoon; !;
he returned, slipped into the house, and
while his mother-in-law sat reading
and his wife was lying on bed in the
same room, fired a bullet into Mrs.
Shodler's brain, killing her almost in
stantly, and shot his wife through the
breast, inflicting mortal wound. He
was shortly afterwards arrested, and
confessed that she was not his wife,
although living together. The deed
was committed through jealousy.

The Mormon ouestion

New York, Aug. 14.-In speaking of
Mr.. Evarts' letter on polygamy, the
Tribune says it is to effect friendly
reminder that the comfy of nations
has been violated, but now that it has
been sent, more vigorous action is JUS
titled and Mormon missionaries who
bring back to our shores these deluded
converts, can be arrested at our ports
and returned with their victims, as
felons. The directness and justice of
this peculiar mode Of procedure are
evident from the fact that the polyga-
mists of Utah are foreigners. Five
years ago the population of Salt Lake
City contained literally not single
American convert. They were Eng
lish, Scotch, Norwegians and Danes,
with their children born in this coun-
try, reared and educated to the faith
and practices of this most degrading of
all social conditions. 1t is hardly fair
that America should bear obloquy and
moral degradation from this plague

A. T. STEWARDS REMAINS.
They Are Yet in the Possession of ii
|. ~. " Rohhera 2 IN ..

lney Are Yet in the Possession of the
- Robbers. lfl "
New York, Aug 14,-New disclo-
sures in the A. II. Stewart case appear
briefly as follows: Patrick II. Jones,
ex-postmaster and ex-county register,
OF New York, is the lawyer through
whom the grave robbers have been en-
deavoring to negotiate the sale of the
remains for $500, ,00a.. On receiving
their communication, accompanied by
thecofiin plate and handles, which were
forwarded to establish the genuineness
of their offer, Jones conferred with the
police superintendent, placed the arti-
cles with him, opened correspondence
with the robbers through personals in
the newspaper, addressing his commu-
nications to Henry 8. Romaine, of Mon
treal. Then he saw Jndge Hilton who
received him discourteously and took
up the case himself, but up to the
present time refused to- listen to the
proposition of the sum demanded.
Jones ceased active participation in the
matter though he has been closely
watched by detectives. iaIa ~
The Tribune of to-day says: ''All
hopes that refusal to negotiate for the
return of the body on the terms named,
or other than payment of the reward Of
of s25, 200, which offer Jones trans
mitted by mail to Romaine, would lead
the thieves in desperation to reveal
themselves, were finally abandoned by
Hilton about three weeks ago, and he
has since re-opened negotiations, this
time, it is believed, with the purpose OF
buying the body outright, and without
any attempt to secure the thieves. 1t
is clear that all efforts heretofore made
have been baffied. There is no ques-
tion but that Romaine is the selected
agent of the. robbers and has the body
in CHARGE
He has carefully concealed his iden-
tity, and his handwriting is SO dis
guised as to battle any attempt to detect
him by that means 1t appears also
that Mrs. Stewart had been deceived
into supposing the remains were recov-
cred and every effort made to create
this impression everywhere with the
view of bringing out communications
from the robbers. 4
The Times prints remarkable story
by an italian sculptor named Sala, who
in his communications with the author
tiles has proven to possess knowledge
of the robbery and the identity of the
robbers. He says he will only move in
the matter again when the payment OF
the reward and expenses IS assured.

Abraiam Llncoln,s Ancesfrr.

Not far from the boundary line be-
tween Bsrks and Lancaster counties
lies the ancestral home Of the Lin
coin family. Situated in. The midst
Of the old Welsh colony Of Carnavon
and inter-married with some Of its
families, they were. always looked on
as belonging to the original Welsh
colonists. A letter from Daniel Lin
coin, Birdsbora, Berks county, APP
pears in the Lancaster lnteiiigeDcer,
giving some account of the Lincoln
family. From il we learn that Mo.
dacai Lincoln, great-great.gandfath-
err of President Abraham Lincoln,
came from England aud settled in
Massachusetts. Abontthe year1755,
having lost his wife, he moved to
Exeter township, Berks county, tax
ing up one thousand acres Of land
He brought with him one son, the
great.grandfather of the President
Mordecai married again in Berks and
had several sons. The children by
his second wife are the founders Of
the Lincolns of Pennsylvania and
those by his first of the Lincolns of
Massachusetts. One of Mordecai's
sons, Abraham by name, married
Anna Boone, first cousin of Daniel
Boone, the Kentucky hunter, who
was born in Berks, aud not in Bucks
county, as stated in history. John
Lincoln, the Presidents great.grand-
father, moved to Virginia about 1850.
He had a son, Abraham, grandfather
othe President, whoremoved token
lucky about 1850, and was killed by
Indians when his son Thomas, faith
er OF President Lincoln, was but a
boy. Current history states that
nothing is known of the mother of
the martyr President, except that her
name was Hanks and that she was
from Virginia, while this letter as
serts that the Hanks family we're
originally from Berks county, and
near peighbors OF Mordecai Lincoln.
Hanks, with three sons of Mordecai
Lincoln, moved to Fayette county,
Pennsylvania, and thence Hanks
moved to Virginia.

The Tidy Housewife.

The careful tidy housewife, when
she is giving her house its spring
cleaning, should bear in mind that
the dear inmates of her house are
more precious than houses, and that
their systems need cleansing by pu.
rifying the blood, regulating the
stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring
malaria and miasrna, and she should
know that there is nothing that will
do it so perfectly and surely as Hop
Bitters, the purest and best Of all
medicines. See other column.

The Charleston Courier wants the
Democrats to give John Z. Kenna a
chance to explain his position on the
Warner Silver Bill. If the Courier
would do the fair thing, it would not
hesitate to tell the people that Mr..
Kenna was for that bill, first, last and
all the time. The Courier cannot be
ignorant of this fact. and yet it at
tempts to give Mr.. Kenna u stab in
the back by its sly Institutions
"Give the young man a chance"
says the Courier. The Curriers' (or
rather its editor) experience with
John e. Kenna ought to teachit that
gentleman generally lakes his chances
whether or not. You must hunt up
some other means of stabbing an hon
est, industrious and faithful repre-,
sentative in the back. The truth is,
the advance in iron, the large ship
ments Of specie from Europe and the
signs of general prosperity all over
the land has knocked the wind out
of the greenback sails and the Cour-
ier is growing desperate. Well, well,
the Republican party, perhaps, will
take it in, but it would require a
great deal of pennancc to get back
into the Democratic partly tlerson

About the silliest thing we have
heard of for some time is the loud
growing of the Grecnback Standard, a
paper published in rkersburg, over
the fact that one or two of the school
officers in Kanuwha county who
were recently elected, happened to
beof thegreenback persuasion. Men
must be hard pressed when they re.
gard a simple school election as a 20.
litical victory. The Standard should
look higher-PdnhandLe MeWs.

The agitation of the Greenback
question in the counties bordering
on the Kanawha river, where the or
ganization had its strongest hold,
and the discussion of its main issue
that of fnance-has had the effect
of enlightening a great many who at
first were favorably inclined toward
the party; and the consequence is u
continual falling off from the ranks,
and uniting with one or the other OF
the old parties.

The newest happening in the line
of strange things is the abduction of
a buxom widow from, her bed in
Georgia. The mystery remains i'm.
penetrable after exhausting every
theory regarding her disappearance.
She had many beaux, but they all
turn up ut home, and the only infor.
nation about the circumstances of
her departure, is derived from her
little daughter who was in the bed

A scrap OF History.

John Sherman and others like him,
says the New York Sun, go about de-
claiming that the blacks ofthe South
are on their way back toslavery, and
therefore Foster must be elected Gov.
ernor Of Ohio, to prepare the way for
the nomination of Sherman by the
Republican Convention next year.
From the speeches of Sherman in
Maine and Ohio, it might be inferred
he was an original abolitionist of the
Garrison. type, and had always been
a consistent and irreconcilable enc
my Of the peculiar institution, like
John Brown. The record does not
justify this convenient pretension,
now set up for political object
He was member Of the Thirty.
sixth Congress, and sixty days before
the firing on Fort Sumpter, he intro
duced the following resolution, which
passed the House:
"That neither the Congress of the
United States, nor the people or Gov
eminent of the Of the non-slavehold.
ing States, have the constitutional
right TO legislate upon, or interfere
with slavery inany of the slavehold-
ing States in the Union"
When "a candidate for Speaker in
that Congress, and charged with hay
ing signed recommendation of what
was then known as the HELPER
book" against slavery, he could not
deny the fact, but he apologized for
it as an inadvertence. What he did
on this question he has done on all
Others of public Interest. In 1868
he was an ardent Greenbacker, and
demanded that the bonds should be
paid in the currency with which
they were bought. But in 1869 he
went over and voted to pay the debt
in gold. He has been faithful to that
interest ever since, for good and SUI
ficient reasons.-Er.
