A MOST terrible tragedy occurred in
Noble County, O., on the night Of the 9Th.
Frank M. Biedenbaugh, a well-to-do Ger
man, residing in the little village of Bates
vile, on the night named returned at late
hour to his house from the village, where
he had been spending the even
ing, and was presumably some.
what intoxicated. Aiming himself
with an ak he proceeded to the room where
his young wife and infant child were sleep
ing, and with single blow crushed in the
skull of each, after which he mutiated their
bodies in most shocking manner. He then
went to an adjoining room, where Mrs.
Stephens and child, visitors Of the family,
were in bed, and decapitated them both. A
servant girl occupying another room was the
last remaining victim, and, having disposed
of her, the inhuman monster went into an
out-building and cut his own throat.
Different theories are advanced as to the
cause of the horrible tragedy, some claiming
that it was jealousy, while others say
the murderer is insane. The generally
accepted theory is that whisky is the respon-
sible agent. Heretofore Biedenbaugh has
borne fair reputation, and is a man well
known in the county.

The New York Democratic State
Committee have prepared and forwarded to
the various election officers throughout the
State protests against the counting Of the
Electoral vote at the late election, to be
signed by the precinct officers, if in their
judgment the evidences of fraudulent voting
in such precinct are sufficient to warrant
them IN doing so.

The New York Evening Star says
Gen. Hancock has written a letter to a per-
sonal friend in which he says emphatically
that he has no lot nor part in the agitation in
regard to throwing out the vote of New
York, nor will he have any. He is opposed
to the agitation, he says, and believes that
Gen. Garfield was elected and should be in
augurated without any fuss.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a, 1880

WASHINGTON, d. c., July q, 1880.
There has been, during the past week, a
notable increase of confidence and enthu
siasm at this republican campaign centre,
and the democrats, who have been fatuit-
ously expecting an easy victory, are now
brought face to face with the flcts that
the republicans were never better organ
lied, more determined, or, may say.
more encouraged with reasonable conf
dence of success. From all parts of the
country comes the intelligence that the
party is harmonious on the one great
question. Local differences have been
waived, and supposed mal-contents have
signitied their intention to work zealously
for the common cause. General Grants
characteristic bugle blast, it is estimated,
will call forth thousands of unseen war
riors to swell the vote of 4" the man for
the place." and it will doubtless have a
stimulating, healthful influence on some
other distinguished chieftains of the party
whom the democrats have been praying
might have chronic attack of dsaffection.
One thing is certain, if the democrats
suppose that Senators Cameron, Conkling
and Blaine are lukewarm or disaifected
because they are refreshing themselves al
watering places and on fishing excursions
now. when the real campaign will moi
open for two months, they are building
their hopes on very iimsy theories.
To those whose pecuniary interests are
conferred in Washington, the possible ad
vent of n democratic administration can.
not but be regarded with alarm. During
the last twenty years the national capita
has changed from dilapidated southern
town to beautiful northern city. Thi:
change has been brought about by tn,
substitution of northern thrift and energy
for southern Incidence. A democratic
administration would work great chang
in the character of the population. Elected
by n solid sonth. its cabinet, bureau officer!
and clerks would bear some proportion in
numbers TO the votes it had given. There
might be the same number of persons here
to be sheltered, fed and clothed, but tina
is not all that is needed to make pros
porous city. There would soon begin a
sinking toward the old condition whicl
existed before n republican administration
brought in enterprise and progress. Bust
ness men and owners OF real estate hav,
no desire to bring in n democratic admin
istration.

SAD ACCIDENT.-When the young re-
publicans were to raise their banner at
6 80 o'clock Friday evening salute OF
fifty guns was to be fired near the armory
on Seminary Hill. Ira A. Washburn,
Clark B. Roberts, VIM. Henry Wiley and
Ed. N. Wright were in charge of the
firing. When Roberts and Wiley were
loading the gun for the third discharge a
premature explosion tore off Roberts
right hand except the thumb, and one side
of the wrist, and wounded Wiley's left
arm even more severely. Washburn had
his thumb and hand burned somewhat,
and was not able to leave his house till
Monday. Roberts was taken first to MI.
Willey's house, and then to the American
house, where he boards, by DIR. W. D.
Reid. who, assisted by DR.. IL. q. Brigham,
amputated his right arm midway between
the elbow and wrist. Wiley was thrown
about twenty feet down the hill by the
explosion. lie was taken to his house
near by. Mrs. Ross was of great help to
the wounded men before the arrival of the
doctors, and after their arrival she and
Mrs. McAllister and other neigh5ors were
continuing in their kindness. Mrs. Will
ley, who was ut Calais, was sent for, and
arrived at midnight. DR.. ID. G. Kemp,
assisted by DR.. S. Putnam, amputated
Willey's left arm about three inches below
the elbow. The shock and the wrench to
Mr.. Willey's shoulder were such that he
suffered intensely, and for some time it
was feared that he had received serious
internal injuries. He is now, however,
getting along well, and it is thought he
escaped any serious internal hurt. Mr..
Wiley has n wife and two children; he
went into the army from Montpelier, and
was a member of Co. B, and then Of Co.
II. sixth Vermont infantry. Mr.. Roberts
is twenty-seven years of age and unmar-
ried. His arm is doing well, and there is
every prospect that he will soon be up
again.
The gun that was used is said to be the
same one that killed Peter Lemoine and
badly wounded Alex. Jangraw April 8,
1867. and injured Cushman of the third
Vermont battery, April 9, 1865. Cushman,
by the way, never got over his wounds,
and died in Boston about three months
ago. 1t is not certain whether poor
swab Or some defect in the gun was the
occasion of the accident last Friday.
