UNITED STATES COURT.


People ambitious to acquire fortune In libel
suits received q set back to-day in the United
States Court by Judge Bakers dismissal OF two
$4,000 suits against the Enquirer. These suits
were brought over year ago by two sisters, Mrs.
stratton and Mrs Eaton, because Of certain insin'
uations in the Enquirer that their morals were not
as Arm as the Rock Of ages. They lived in one Of
CinclnnAh's Ohio suburbs, and in order to get
into the United States Court they had to acquire
residence in another State This they did by
moving across the river to Covington. The fact
that the Enquirer had been salted In one Of the
United States Court suits convinced them and
their lawyer, Timothy Lincoln, that they were
about to capture q bonanza. The quondam con.
spiracy of gaining Kentucky residence was
therefore, entered Into. Newspaper rights in
souther Ohio are looking up Cincinnati Special

mlttee

mittee.
Lucan, Ont, Feb. 4.-For some time past incen
diary fires and other misdemeanors have been Of
frequent occurrence in this neighborhood, and
the Donhelly family were suspected. AS con-
sequence there was an an intense feeling Of en-.
nifty against them throughout the township. A
| vigilance committee was formed some time ago
| by settlers as a means Of protection from these
outrages, which, with other precautionary mea'
sures, failed to bring about a remedy. The last
FIRE was on the Ryder farm on Thursday night,
the 10th OF January, and old Donnelly and his
wife were arrested at the time on suspicion Of be.
| ing implicated In the burning. Their examina
ton was still pending and was to have been
closed day, but the morning light displayed
the ghosly spectacle Of the remains Of the In
mates Of the Donnelly homestead burned to a
cinder after having been first horribly hacked
with an axe. 1t appears that about twenty men
were engaged in the bloody work. The boy Con.
nOrs belonged to the village and was staying in
the house over night, and when the attack was
made 0rept under the bed without being disc0V.
cred. When the murders were committed and
the house fred, the gang deCsmped and the boy

village and informed the authorities. The per.
sons murdered are James and Judy DOnnelly,
Thomas, the youngest son. and Bridget niece.
About the same time (midniehO another party
called at the residence OF William Donnelly,
three miles distance from his fathers house. and
awoke him, His brother John, being in the
house, arose and went 10 the door, when two
shots from revolver were fred, killing him
The bodies Of the murdered family are almost
burned to cinders. The old man and girl are ly.
ing close together In the northwest corner Of the
house, and the old mans skull Is broken. Mrs.
DonDelly is lying In one Of the middle rooms and
shows evidence Of being beaten to death. The
son Tom lies In the front part Of the house. II
would appear from the large clots OF blood on
the outside Of the door that he was killed outside
and thrown into the burning building. There Ia
yet no clue to the perpetrators Of this wholesale
murder A jury has been summoned, and an
inquest will be held at once.

A Down Town Misunderstanding
passed several sleeplcss nights, disturbed
by the agonies and cries of suffering
child, and becoming convinced that Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup was just the
article needed, procured supply for the
child. 'On reaching home and acquainting
his wife with what he had done, she re-
fused to have it administered to the child,
as she was strongly in favor of Homeo-
pathy. That night the child passed in suf-
fering, and the parents without sleep. Re-
turning home the day following, the faith
er found the baby still worse; and while
contemplating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he adj
ministered portion ofthe Soothing Syrup
to the baby, and said nothing. That night
all hands slept well, and the little fellow
aweke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the' sudden
and wonderful change, and although at
first offended at the deception practiced
upon her, has continued TO use the Syrup,
and suffering crying babies and restless
nights have disappeared. A single trial of
the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the
baby, and overcome the prejudice of the
mother. Sold by all Druggists. 25 cents

THE DETROIT BANK ROBBERY.

DETROIT, Mich, July 90 Clifford, book
keeper at Fisher, Preston & Co.'S, bank
where the robbery was committed yester-
day afternoon, has since very materially
changed his statement. He now says that
he went out of the bank to the curbs-tone
to speak to persons in u buggy by whom he
had been called. The bank was thus left
alone and afforded clear field for the op-
orator, who slipped in and stole the money
and fled Clifford felt that he had been en-
trapped and was ashamed to confess it. The
presumption is that the men in the vehicle
were accomplces of the thief and the
whole plan was well devised scheme of
robbery. The loss has been definitely as

QUININE AND ARSENIC form the basis of
many of the Ague remedies in the market,
and are the last resort of physicians and
people who know no better medicine to
employ, for this distressing complaint. The
effects of either of these drugs are destruc-
tive to the system, producing headache, in
testinal disorders, vertigo, dizziness, ring
ing in the ears, and depression of the con
sttutional health. Ayers Ague Cure is a
vegetable discovery, containing neither qui-
nine, arsenic, nor any dcleterious ingredi-
ent, and is an infallible and rapid cure for
every form Of fever and aguc. Its effects
are permanent and certain, and no injury
can result from its use, Besides being a
positive cure for fever and ague in all ITS
forms, it is also superior remedy for liver
complaints. 1t is an excellent tonic and
preventative, as we'll as cure, of all com
plants peculiar to malarious, marshy, and
miasmatic districts. BY direct action on
the liver and hillary apparatus it stimulates
the system to vigorous, healthy condition.
