Head BY Companion, and Dies
from the Wound.

On Saturday night, November 22d, q
colored man named Isaac Palmer, was
80 severely injured near this Bear Tsv-
ern, New Castle Hd., as to die from his
wounds on Saturday morning last
Coroner Butz was notified, and upon
summoning jury ventilated the cause
of the homicide, and found that on the
night in question Palmer, with Price
and Matthews, were in the village Of
Christiana, and while there drank con-
siderable.
Palmer lived at the home of the ia
ther Of Price near the Old Bear Hotel.
Later in the night the party started for
their homes all in apparent good hu.
NOR. Upon reaching Palmer's residence,
the others drew to one side and Palmer
passed in for the purpose of retiring.
Accidently over hearing the two out
side making offensive remarks he i'm
mediately went out to demand satisfac-
tion. The two men assaulted Palmer,
one striking him on the back of the head
with stick and the other hitting him
over the eyes. -
Palmer died from his wound on Sat-
urday morning last as above stated. As
soon as Palmer was known to be dying
the two murderers left the county and
are now at large somewhere in Mary
land. Palmer was about thirty-six
years Of age. The jury rendered
verdict of death "from wounds upon
the head, inflicted by Elijah Price, alias
Taylor, and Benjamin Matthews, on
the nieht of Saturday, November 22d,
l1S79."
Warrants have been issued for the
arrest of the murderers and every Of

KENNETH SQUARE BURGLARY
"GOpher" Bill Arrssted, and Con.
fesslng his Gnslt ''KqueaIs" On
FOur others.

F0ur others.
The Philadslphia "Lsdger" of this
morning says.
The man who is supposed to be the
principal burglar in the robbery of
the Baily Brothers, near Kennett Square,
Chester county, on the night of the 9Th
of Nov, had hearing before Magis-
trate William Whitehead, at West
Chester, on Saturday morning, and was
committed In default of $4,000 bail. The
man is notorious character, and ia
known to the police as ''Gopher Bill"
but his real name is William Robinson.
His arrest was made on Chestnut street
In this city, last Monday, by Private
Detective Spittal. The prisoner has
disclosed the name of four other per-
sons who participated in The burglary,
but their names are withheld for pru-
Dental reasons.
The arrest was not reported at the
Central Station, but .ae prisoner was
taken at once to the Baltimore Depot,
and from there to Keunett Square
where a boy recognized him as one O.
| five men he saw on the railroad track
the afternoon before the burglary. H.
was then taken to West Chester to b.
locked up without hearing until Sat
urday. He had, however. a private
hearing at the house Of the Baileys on
Thursday, when Mr.. George G. Bailey
fully identified him az one of the bur
glars. The prisoner finding his case
hopeless, told the whole story and men
toned the names of his confederates.
II is understood that two of them re-
side in the neighborhood of Kennett
Square, and another under surveillance
Two of the others are well-known Phila
dslphia burglars. II is rumored that
another arrest in connection with the
Kennett Square robbery was made il
Philadelphia on Saturday night, but i
such is the case it has been kept pri
vats.
"Gopher Bill" is about so years o
age, and has been "crooked" all his
life. He has for many years been knowr
as safe blower, burglar, sneak THE
and go-between. On March 9th, 1878
Judge Cadwalader, of the U, s. Court
sentenced him to Is months imprison
ment in the Eastern Penitentiary fo
counterfeiting, but his sentence wa
commuted. He has spent many year
in prison, and is considered an incor
rigible rogue.

Scarlet Feyer-A Hint TO tint Sc h Ool
Board.

Correspondents Of the Republican,
MEssRs. EDlToRs: 1t has been said by
one of our most prominent doctors OF
the old school faith, that more than two
thirds of the cases Of scarlet fever at
tended by him were little children who
had caught the disease while attending
public school, in many cases from their
companion sitting alongside or near
them, and that be had no less than six
patients from one school in less than
one months time. Now we would sug.
gest that tho Board of Public Educa-
ton notify the teachers to dismiss any
scholar who should have this dreaded
disease in their family until the mem
Der of said family should be considered
out Of danger by the doctor in attend
ance. Also to request all parents,
through the columns Of the press, to
keep their children at home during the
visitation of the fever. We hope the
above hint will be acted upon by the
Honorable Board, as the fever is on the
increase among the children Of our city.

An Ohio MAN Killed by Meteor.

From the Bucyrus (O.) journal.
As David Meisenthaler, the well
known stock man Of Whitestone town
ship, was driving his cows to the barn
about daylight this morning, he was
struck by an aerolite and instantly
killed. 1t appears as If the meteor had
come from direction little west Of
south and fell obliquely at an angle
of about sixty degrees, for it first passed
through a tall maple, cutting the limbs
as clean as if it had been cannon ball,
aud then struck bin apparently on or
under the shoulder, passing clean
through him obliquely from below the
right shoulder to above the lett hip,
and buried itself about two feet in the
soft black ground. The poor mans legs
and head are uninjured, but the great
er part Of his body seems to have been
crushed into the eaeth beneath the
terrific aerolite, which Is about the size
of a common patent bucket, and appa-
rently of a roughly round shape. 1t ap-
pears to be formed Of what is called iron

Probable Result.


New ORLEANS, Dec. 5.-Advices re-
ceived from the country parishes make
II clear that in most of them the Repub-
licans either staid away entirely from
the polls, for fear Of violence, as in
Madison, or pollsd their full vote and
were then deliberately counted out.
When the negroes were let alone there
was a full, free vote with the Republi-
cans in some instances.
To illustrate, the Parish of lberville,
the home of Robert Herbert, the Repub-
lican contestant for the seat now held
in Congress by Acklen, gave a MAORI
ty Of 1919 for Beattie, and took care
to see the same properly counted. This
vote was 663 more than Packard got
in 1876, and more than Kellogg got in
in 1872. This result is partially owing
to the nerve and sagacity Of Herbert as
a political manager, but illustrates the
fact that negroes are as fond OF voting
now as in the past, when 1t can be
done with safey to their persons.

He was told that they were going tc

be content with the vote of the State
ticket, he could have it, on condition
that he would interfere in no way with
the local officers. This was agreed to.
So the strange anomaly appears in the

ed.
1t is q noticeable fact that in the su'
gar growing parishes there was nc
trouble, and there are no complaints O
interference, except i'll St. Mary, where
the ballot-boxes were destroyed aftel
the election. The bull-dozing, swind
ling and outrages appear to be limited
to the upper cotton parishes. The del
egates came in from these points to thu
late Republican Convention with tht
rallying cry Of "Fair count or Kansas >
The word is now Exodus" and it now
commences in earnest, and will proba
bly, continue until the acres Of Nortl
Louisiana are stripped Of labor. Th'
result has already had the effect to re
duce the market value of State bonds
