MURDER.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15.-The Globe-Democrat's
st. Charles Mo-, special says: A cold -blooded
murder was committed this morning on the
farm of Thomas Stinebraker, about ten miles
from that place. 1t appears that Stinebraker
had gone to visit a relation some miles away,
and left the farm in charge of two hired men,
James Watson, a Swede, and a molatto man
called Tom: During the morning the men had
an altercation about feeding the hogs, and
Iom went away but soon returned and put a
charge of buckshot into Watson's head, killing
him instantly. At last accounts the murderer
had not been arrested.

Il WAYWARD DAUGHTER.
A Father In Search of One of the Ne
bers of His Household.

A Father In Search of One of tho Mem
bers of His Household.
At police headquarters yesterday was pre-
sented a scene which, luckily for the honor of
humanity, is of rare and infrequent occurrence.
The spectacle of an honored father in quest of
an erring and sinful daughter is indeed rare,
and the persistency with which rash and
strong minded girl continued to disobey the
paternal mandate in the present instance makes
the lapse from virtue all the more humiliating.
The father is respectable and well-to-do
farmer residing in Hennepin county. A few
weeks since there appeared in the GLOBE an
named Stella being sent to the House
OF the Good Shepherd in this city.
1t was also explained that in appearance the
girl was handsome brunette, with black eyes,
regular features and symmetrical form, being
the second daughter in family of four bright.
intelligent girls. Wayward of disposition, and
tired of home restraints, she came to St. Paul,
without the consent of her parents. The father
came, rescued the truant and after some difficult
ty persuaded her to enter the House of the Good
Shepherd. A few days since the father received
letter stating in effect that the young lady
had procured honorable employment, and con-
Guiding with request for 800, with which to
purchase an outfit suitable to the business in
which she was about to enter.
The father was rejoiced at the new turn.
affairs had taken, and confiding the news to his
family, it was decided that he should:
visit st. Paul. for the purpose of better
ascertaining and supplying her necessities.
Upon arriving yesterday morning he very
naturally directed his footsteps to the House
of the Good Shepherd, expecting to meet his
once wayward, but now dutiful daughter. I'm
agine his horror upon being informed that the
young lady had left the institution se egeral
days ago. il being the impression that she had
gone home.
Stricken with grief and almost crazed with
doubt, the distressed father reported his mis-
fortune to the police authorities, who impaired
information which resolved the terrible nature
of his apprehensions into most dread and in
tensifed certainty. The police officials were
sorry to say that they had heard of the girl in
most disreputable connection. She had in
deed fallen, and from the estate of pure and
holy maidenhood, had become defled and
nameless thing.
To the aged father the blow came with a
force that was absolutely staggering, and the
visible suffering undergone would have moist
ened the eye Of the most impervions stoic

CIPHER COMMENTS.
H0,v the Newspapers Talk About the De-
veI0pnse2ats.
New York WOrld-Deml

Mr. Weeds account of his own proceedings
is perfectly straightforward, and there is evi-
IDENTIFY nothing about them Of which he is at all
ashamed. Mr.. Weed, we need not observe, like
his experienced Republican namesake, is a
practical politician. He found when he went
to South Carolina that MIR. Tilden had undoubt-
edly carried the State, and that it's vote would
be counted for him unless an untruth was GER
titled by the returning board, who were, to use
the phrase of Judge Black, among ''the most
redemptionless rogues on the face of the
earth" It came naturally into the mind of
Mr.. Weed, as a practical politician, that the
best way in which this calumny could be
averted would be to hire them to
certify the truth. He evidently had no
more compunction about it, being an ex-
perienced and horny handed public character
like VIM. E. Chandler, than he would have had
about buying drove Of fat pigs, if they had
been equally necessary to his purpose. His
negotiations were brought to nothing by the
successive refusals of Mr.. Edward Cooper, on
behalf of the national Democratic committee,
and of Mr.. Tilden on his own account, to give
him the money. All the help he could get
from Mr.. w. T. Pelton he got, but it did not
meet the emergency. Mr.. Weed evidently
enjoys the consciousness of having done his
duty, and the further consciousness that, if he
had had his way, Mr. Tilden, who was elected
President, would have been President instead
of Mr.. Hayes, who was not elected President;
in which case Mr.. Weed might have been now
engaged IN investigating nefarious but hap
PLY defeated conspiracy to steal the vote of
South Carolina for Mr.. Hayes.

Curi0sjties of the Testimony.
New York Tribune-Rep.I


Mr.. Cooper did not know more, though he
suspected bargain with the canvassing board.
He gave Col. Pelton cipher, and IN the morn
ing was very much surprised to receive tele-
gram asking for $3.50, 900 or $50, 600. He showed
it to MIR. Tilden. Mr.. Tilden was not sur
prised but displeased. Then the two kilograms
were sent to Pelton, and he was called home.
To be turned out of the house? Oh, no; to be
retained in his old position as official man ager
of the count in the disputed States and to repeat
in Florida and Oregon, and once more in South
Carolina, the same performance which ended so
ill in South Carolina! This is the sequel which
the minority of the committee pressed with re-
lentless force. Mr.. Weed and Mr.. Cooper were
both compelled to testify to the confidence re-
posed in Pelton to the very last; the
grave and delicate trusts con6ded to
him after he had once been detected
by an outsider-in attempt at brib-
cry; the calm assurance with which he con-
tinued to absorb all the secret business of the
after campaign; and the comfort with which
the committee and the candidate let him do it.
And Weed himself, who testifes that Mr.. Til
den scolded him after the South Carolina affair,
adds that he nevertheless did not notice any
diminution of cordiality in Mr.. Tilden's after
behavior towards him until the telegram had
been D,LbESIed.

Death of p. j. Csllan.

Yesterday morning at 8 O'Clock Deputy
Sheriff P. J. Callan died at the residence of
John Grace, Esq. The deceased fell VIC
tim to the dire and quick inroads of con-
sumption. His sickness has been of short
duration, but much of his suffering has been
alleviated by the watchful care Of friends.
Young Callan was only 81 years old,
and was young man of sterling
worth and ability. His was nature which
endeared him to friends, and secured him
the esteem of all with whom officially or
socially he was brought in contact He
served as deputy sheriff under Major Becht's
administration, and was lately replaced in
office by Sheriff King. In his last moments
he was tenderly cared for by sister, and
h1s numerous friends shared with her,
watchful hours at his bedside, and sorrow
with her at his untimely demise. Notice of
the time of his funeral will be given here

This manifest discrepancy between Mr.. TIL
den's denial Of all knowledge of the negotia-
tions and Mr.. Coopers positive evidence that
he was acquainted with them, though he did
not authorize them, puts Mr.. Tilden in an un-
enviable position, especially when it is con-
sidered that after fair warn
ing of what his nephew was
about, there was no change in their confidential
relations, the nephew continuing to reside in
his uncle's house, sending and receiving dis
patches from Florida down to the fourth of
December. 1t is to be feared Mr.. Tilden's

.KLEPTOMANIAC,
A Partially Intoxicated Woman Lift.
Some Jewelry.

A very penitent and tearfully sorry woman
was she. Capt. Clark had just brought he,
up from Geist's jewelry store, on Third
street. There she was charged with having
conducted herself as kleptomaniac. In
fact, the proceeds of her frenzy, consisting
of four pairs of earrings, a SET
or two of ladies' jewelry and an
imitation coral set were found concealed
about her person. The story goes that
she came into the store about o'clock and
asked to see a coral set, imitation. Size was
accommodated. Her con duct was peculiar,
strikingly SO. While she handled the cases
of cheap jewelry she was closely watched.
She was seen to conceal card or two in her
pocket. The purchase of coral set was
made, and she started for the door. Then
an employe of the store detained ner, ac-
cused her cf theft, which she stoutly
denied. Captain Clark happened to be near
at hand and was called in. The charge by
the jeweler was repeated, and the woman
taken to the station. She was searched, and
the above mentioned gewgaws were found on
her. The woman was terribly frightened,
and wept despairingly. She claimed to
know nothing about the act which had
| V.
Pretty soon it was discovered that she
was laboring under an excitement not alto
gether derived from her detection in steal
ing. The odor of whisky steamed up along
with her protestations of innocence. No
body knew her, ,and at first she declined to tell
her name. Finally she gave it, vehemently
protesting against her husband being told.
Then followed rambling story of how she
came to do it. She had been out with her
mother, having come over from her homo
in West St. Paul; they had visited a friend;
there they had INDUCED. Afterwards she
accompanied her mother to the depot, and
saw her off for Mendoza, near which place
she lives Retracing her steps up jackson
street, she repaired to jewelry store to buy
a pair of imitation coral earrings.
After that she knew nothing. This recital
was accompanied with bitter tears, and she
piteously implored to be released.
The woman is young, and claimed to have
two babies at home. Her worst fear seemed
to be that her husband would learn of it
''and then, what will he do. cannot bear
to face him."
The deep contrition of the girl, she said
she was only 18, plainly showed
she was new to the business. Likely the
glitter of jewelry and her befuddled condi-
ton tempted her for the. first time to COM
nit an act, which evidently she painfully re-
grets.
The sad news of his wife's arrest was COM
municated to her husband, and he hastened
to her presence. He had no reproaches for
her, but he stirred himself to get her released,
About 7 o'clock he obtained bail and took
her home to her babies, very sorrowful
and contrite woman. The baubles she stole
IN the aggregate amount to about six OF
seven dollars.
