A WILD MAN.
He Is Captured In the Woods After Jumping
FrOM q Tree Sixty Feet High.

rIOM Tree blALy rect hlBu.
Dayton, O., July 21.-For the past week wild
looking man has been wandering about the VI
CinIty north OF the Soldiers Home. No one knew
anything OF the man, who was German and ap.
peared unable to speak English. his manner and
actions indicated that his mind was unsound. BE
would be given food that he devOured voracious-
ly, then would dash away into the woods and
would start OFF at the least approach OF any one,
like wild animal.
Yesterday morning several farmers-A. W.
Meek, Joseph Meek and Leonard Cassell-caught
sight Of this man In the woods. He was entirely
naked, and when he saw them started away.
They followed, and he sprang into tree, that he
climbed like a squirrel, leaping from limb TO
limb with apparent ease. They called to him TO
come down, but he would only shout and laugh
at them in reply, Finally he got into the branch
es Of tall sycamore and climbed TO the top Of
the tree, fully sixty feet above the ground. Sud-
denly he seemed to have missed his calculation,
or branch gave way beneath his weight. There
was crashing among the branches, and the next
moment he was seen falling through them.
When he had almost reached the ground he
caught one of the lower limbs. He was bleeding
freely from the side and the men caught him be-
fore he could again escape them, and brought
him to the city, where they placed him In The
jail in charge Of Sheriff Nixon,
Last evening he was unmanageable, making 1t
necessary to conine him In cell under constant
watch. He would not permit anything to remain
on him, and tore up everything, even to the mat
tresses in his CELL His name 1t was ascertained
is Wendeline Auer. He is a stout, well built
man OF about twenty five years, and has not been
long in the country. For some time he was liv.
Ing with George Riser, on Brown street, and for a
while showed indications OF insanity. The
wound he received, though bad in appearance, is
not Of serious nature. His case will be brought
before Judge Frank, of the Probate Court, to day,
for cOmmitteng him to the asylum.

BLOODHOUNDS - TRAPPING A
MURDERER.

Atlanta, July 26.--The bloodhounds that were
securing the country to-day in search Of the muir
derers Of the Defoor couple, struck the trail Of
suspicious negro at about daybreak, and after a
chase Of ten miles stopped At small hay house
and bayed furiously. The men entered furiously,
commenced stamping through large hay rick.
At last the foot OF one Of the men struck some.
thing in the pile, and reaching in he caught q
mans nose. The dog plunged In and caught his
leg, and the negro called out from the straw,
'Tm the wrong man, didn't kill him."
After being croBR examined he confessed that
be was preeent at the murder and held the light
while two tTamps-a white and colored man
killed the old people with an ak. BE says he
never aaw his accomplices before that evening,
and that he didn't know whore they were going
to lead him to when he agreed 10 join them He
says the old folks were asleep when they were
killed, and that the white man proposed killing
them so that they could search the house with
out any trouble or hindrance
He gave the course taken by these parties after
they left him early Saturday morning, and the
detectives are in close chase after them. They
will probably be captured. He says they got about
$500 In money. The tramps were strangers in the
community, but 1t isthought they were Western
men,. A copy Of the Cincinnati Gazette was
found In the room they occupied in the evening.

Gen. Ewing on Speaker Randall at Zane sViIle.
Especial to the Enquirerl
zanesvllle o., July 25-General Ewing had
first rate meeting here last night The Zanesville
Democrats were not advised till the day that he
would stop here on his way to Noble county.
Nevertheless, large crowd with band was col.
ected at the depot at the arrival OF the train at
half past six.
At eight o'clock General Ewing was conducted
to the Court House, and introduced by General W.
H. Ball. When he began speaking the crowd be-
gan to thicken, people coming In from all direc
tions, and there was soon an audience of about
twelve hundred people. Gen. Ewing introduced
his remarks that be had spoken here In 1868, and
at that time had given his reasons for leaving tho
Republican and joining the Dem ocratic party
The Republican party had sought to make use of
Its powers to prevent restoration of that frater
nal Union for which alone the best blood of the
North was she'd
He then took up the topics so eaborately dis.
cussed at Lancaster and presented them In a light
highly acceptable to the audience and IN q sty le
which called out the heartiest applause
An incident OF the meeting was a question by
some person In the crowd who was anxious to
know why Ewing voted for Randall for Speaker
The General answered that Randall was not as
bad as he had been painted Randall had intro.
duCed and voted for more bills for the substitution
Of gTeenbacks for National Bank notes than any
other man In the country and he had procured
the casting vote on bringing Ip the Warner bill
He (Ewing) had not been for Randall for Speaker
an q drst choice, because he had not thought Ran.
dali was as good on t currency question as he
ought to be. He wanted Joe Blackburn of Ken.
lucky. He cared nothing for the fact of Black.
burn being from Kentucky, but he knew Black
burn was sound on the currency question,
But the General said he had been elected as a
Democrat. He was elected where ali the Demo.
Gratis did not sgree with him on the currency, but
they elected him because they believed in his
fidelity to the party. he believed that nothing
could be accomplished without organizaton
He believed that currency reform could be best
effected through an organised party, and he FELT
that he was doing right in going with the party
that elected him, he believed, too that Randall
had improved In the matter of currency.
General Ewing's lslk on finance was very atten.
lively listened to and applauded, and that part OF
his speech referring to free elections brought out
decided demonstrations. The meeting closed
with three cheers for Ewing, and sfterWard there
was reception at the hotel.

THE oPEL1KA TRAGEDY.
Sad Sequel to the Assault Upon GraSty by the

Sad Sequel to the Assault Upon GraSty by the
two Readss
Atlanta, Ga, July 26.-The secret of the Opelika
tragedy, in which Grasty was assaulted by the
Reads and shot them both, seems to be that year
or two ago Grassy seduced Miss Carrie Read, a
beautiful girl and had since refused to marry her.
!hcrgh having repeatedly agreed to do so. 1t is
said the father and son, hoping he would finally
marry her and thus save her reputation, refrained
from assaulting him. He came to 0pelika about
month ago. and was very devoted to Miss Carrie
escorting her everywhere, and taking her on fish.
ing and riding excursions. 1t was said that Sun
day night was set as the time when he would
marry her. He spent an hour or so with her on
Saturday, but the wedding did not come off Sun.
day morning. Monday morning she warned him
that he would be attacked Monday evening. The
father said to the son, We must see him to-
night" It Is believed the father called at Grastys
room to try to get him 70 marry the daughter, and
he declined, when Mr.. Read forbade him his
house. Grasty then knocked him down, and
Read advanced, when Grasty jerked up pistol
and shot him in the bowels, Sam ran in totally
unaTmed and knocked Grasty over GraSty shot
him from the floor, the ball striking his jaw and
coming out Of his cheek, cutting his tongue of.
Inc SOD says tnaJ Ine LrOuDle was an OLD one tnaL
had been getting worse all the time, and that II
had TO end in blood unless Grasty would consent
to do one thing, by which Ii is supposed he meant
to marry his sister, This is simply the general re-
port II Is said Mrs. Read died with horror OF her
daughters ruin and cursed Grasty on deRthbed.
This was about two years ago. There is also ru.
NOR, but probably without reason, that the imme
diate cause Of the assault was that Gfasty had re.
fused to marry Miss Carrie, and had written an
affectiOnate note TO one Of her younger sisters,

to-day, and his recovery ls hardly looked for
He can barely talk or swallow. The young lady

A GEORGIA MURDER.


mon Preacher.
Atlanta, Ga, July 29-No murder for years past
has created such sensation in Georgia as that of
the Mormon Elder, Joseph Standing. To-day the
Sheriff 6f Catoosa county was here, and waited
upon Governor Cloquitt, urging him to offer re.
wards for the murderers. He gives particulars OF
the affair which make 1t appear worse than ever.
On last Sunday Standing and his companion had
been unusually active in their efforts to obtain
converts to Mormonism, and had succeeded in
several cases. On Monday morning they applied
at the railroad station for half fare tickets stating
that they were missionaries Halfrates were re-
fused, but they went from Dalton to Varnells
Station, Catoosa county When they got off the
train crowd of men came up and arrested them,
claiming authority Of the county. They took
Standing and his companion out in the woods
and told them they meant to whip them, Stano-
ing asked for what, and they replied that he was
raising too big row In the country. Standings
The threat to whip Mormons was repeated, when
Standing said. By -, you won't whip mer'
This infuriated the mob, and several men rushed
at him. vOic cried, Stand back |" Just then
some one fred and Standing fell dead with ball
in his brain, The other Mormon begged for his
life and was not hurt The crowd dispersed In
all directions, and Standings remains were car
ried by his friend to Ringgold, and thence they
were taken to Utah The good people of Catoosf
are greatly outraged by this occurrence, and de
mand that justice shall be done TO the murderers
Twelve warrants are now out, but the persOnI
connected with the murder have disappeared
Governor Cloquitt will offer reward soon.

Paris, July 2s.-In consequence Of the ravages
Of phylloxera In the French vineyards, the Min.

soon as the government has reported on the ques.

mediate effect to the decision.
In remaining the streets one will be named In

The harvest in the southeast OF France fS nearly
terminated and In the southwest 1t is about half
finished, The quality of the crop is reputed bet
ter than last year but the quantity at the utmost
is barely up to the average.
Paris, July 2S.-The French Chamber has voted
the demolition Of the ruins of the Tuilleries and
the conversion Of the site into garden. The
vote was strenuously opposed by the Legitimists
and lmperalists. II is believed that Its passage
will encounter serious hostility In the Senate.

SPAIN.

Madrid, July 2S.-A dispatch says no complete
extinction of slavery in Cuba is expected until
the coolie immigration under the recent treaty
between Spain and China is sufficiently numer-
ous to provide lsborers for plantations.
Newspapers which reflect the opinions of Cabi'
net Ministers confirm the annOunceme ut that the
Government intends to submit bill to Cortez in
January relative to slavery in Cuba.
Madrid, July 29,-The old woman who threw q
stone at the King when on his way to church is
insane, and has been sent to an asylum.
Madrid, July SO.The Cuban delegates here
propose that forty thousand soldiers Of the regu.
lar army, serving or to serve In Cuba should be
permitted to work on the sugar plantations re.
ceiviDg wages from the planters, but remaining
amenable to military discipline. The plan Is ad-
voCated with view Of insuring tranquility dur
ing the gradual emancipation of the slaves, and
its present consideration is largely owing to the
recent debate in the British Parliament upon the
subject of slavery in the Spanish colonies.
