van, owner OF the road from Pensacola to
Selma, Sullivan's attorney, Campbell, and
General Manager W. D. Chipley, when a
sale was consummated transferring the
entire line to the Louisville & Nashville

A FAMILY lrAssAcRED.
A Family Of Alleged Incendiaries MuE.
dered aud Roasted by Vigilance Com.


LucAN, ONTARIO, February 4.-About Il
o'clock r. NJ. masked men entered the
dwelling OF the somewhat notorious Don.
nelly family and murdered the father and
mother, one son and girl, niece. A
boy named Connor, the only other in
mate, took refuge under bed and es-
capped. The band then set fire to the
house, which, together with the murdered
bodies, was totally consumed. Another
son, residing about three miles from the
homestead, was called to his door about
the the same hour and shot dead. The
township Is wild with excitement.
For some time past ipcendiary fires and
other misdemeanors have been OF frequent
occurrence in this neighborhood and the
Donnelly family were suspected. AS a
consequence an intense feeling OF enmity
prevailed against them throughout the
township. 4 vigilance committee was
formed some time ago by the settlers as q
means OF protection from these outrages,
which, with other precautionary meas
ures, failed to bring about aremedy. The
last fire was on the Ryder farm on Thurs
day night, January 10Th, and old Donnel-
ly and his wife were arrested at the time
on suspicion Of being implicated in the
burning. Their examination was still
pending and was to have been closed to-
day. Morning light displayed the ghastly
spectacle OF the remains OF the inmates OF
the Donnelly homestead burned to a Gin
der after having been first horribly back
ed with an axe. 1t appears that about
twenty men were engaged in the bloody
work. The boy Connors belonged to the
village and was staying in the house over
night. When tho attack was made he
crept under the bed without being dis
covered. When the murders were com.
mitted. the house fired and the gang de.
camped, the boy then emerged from his
hiding place and started for the village
and informed the authorities. The persons
are: james and Judy Donnelly,
Thomas, the youngest son, and Bridget, a
niece. About the same time (mid-
night another party called at the
residence Of William Donnelly, three
miles away from his fathers house
and awoke him. His brother John being
in the house arose and went 10 the door,
when two shots from arevolver were fired,
xilling him. The bodies OF the murdered
iamily are almost burned to Cinders. The
BID man and girl were lying close together
IN the northwest corner OF the house, the
old mans skull being broken. Mrs. Don.
lelly is lying in one OF the middle
rooms and shows evidence OF being beaten
o death. The son Tom, lies in the front
part OF the house. 1t would appear from
he large clots OF blood on the outside OF
he door that he was killed outside and
brown into the burning building. There
s yet no clue to the perpetrators OF this
wholesale murder. A jury has been sum-
noned and an inquest will be held at once.

The several commercial associations OF
Boston have completed their careful
study and report OF the text ola National
Bankrupt law, which we recently
synopsized, to be submitted to COM
mercial associations Of other cities for
criticism before presentation to Congress.
A National Bankrupt law is clearly au.
thorized by the Federal Constitution,
under the clause giving Congress the
power to regulate commerce among the
several States. The last bankrupt law
afforded unusual facilities for dishonest
men to cheat their creditors and no ade-
quate means for the detection and punish
ment oil rogues. The remedies under 1t
were so expensive, troublesome and un-
certain as to very frequently render "the
game not worth the CANDLE" and 1t re-
suited in almost destroying credit before 1t
was repealed.
1t has been publicly known that the
business men Of Boston had undertaken
the task which it is announced they have
completed, and by tacit consent other
business communities have been awaiting
the result. The draft Of the law they pro-
pose limits the Government charge to $50
on filing the petition, and to per cent Of
the surplus assets after paying priority |
claims and expense OF settlement
Registrars, clerks and deputy clerks are
to have no fixed salaries, and there are to
be no fees. Trustees are to receive
q fixed amount, to be determined by
the creditors Committee Of Direction.
To secure complete surrender OF
an insolyent's estate fraudulent prefer
ences and conveyances are to be void II
made within six months OF the petition
for adjudication, and there are other pre-
cautionary measures. A discharge can
only be had when the bankrupt is blame
less, or when his estate has paid so per
cent Of his Indebtedness, or by the con-
sent OF two-fiiths in number and interest
Of his creditors, and then only on GER
tificate OF the Trustee, Committee Of Direc.
tion, Judge or Registrar that the bankrupt
has acted honorably and in good faith.

AFTER RECESS.

An Attempt to Revive the RESOLUTIONS
OF '78-Tbe Delegation Instructed 10
Vote ms Unit and for Grant.
Upon reassembling the committee on
contested seats made a report which was
adopted. Mr.. Cessna's resolution was re-
introduced and Mr.. Stewart at once moved
to amend 1t as indicated before the recess.
Mr.. Stewart spoke earnestly in favor OF his
amendment, basing his argument on the
fact, as he put it, that the Convention had
no more right to nominate delegates to
the Chicago Convention than 1t had to
select Congressman to represent the peo-
pie OF each district. 49,.
The amendment OF Mr.. Stewart was lost
bv a vote OF 100 to $50, and the resolution
as originally offered was adopted.
The following was then offered by Mr..
Kerr:
Resolved, That the delegates elected to
the National Republican Convention from
this State are hereby instructed to support
for the Presidential nomination General
u, S, Grant, and to vote as unit on all
questions that may come before the Con
vention.
GOING BACK on THEIR woRD.'
Mr.. Stone, Of Crawford, offered the fol-
lowing amendment:
Resolrtd, That while We pledge ourselves
to support the Republican party, we see
no good reason for abandoning the posi-.
ton taken by the party In our own and
other sister States In 1875, in opposition to
the third presidential term, and we here
by endorse and reattirm the resolution
passed by our State Convention held In
this city In 1875 on this subject.
Senator Kerr argued in favor OF his res
olution, and traced the course OF the DEM
ocratic party as 1t appeared to the Repub-
licans. He thought General Grant was
the proper and only man who should gel
the nomination, and concluded his re-
marks with an appeal TO support him.
General Albright replied to Senator
Kerr's remarks. He believed that Gen
eral Grant was sincere in all his under
takings, had done great service both civil
and military, but he did not think he waI
the only mau who could lead the Repub
| lican party to victory. He did not believe
there was any danger to the country In {
third term, but he believed that Wash
burne, Sherman or Blaine could carry thu
suffrages OF the people. He did not be
lieyei in instructing the delegates to Chicagt
| for any man. The resolution was iurthe
opposed by General Koontz. Darlington

endeavoring to arrange a compromise, but
his effort has been OF no avail, except in

on carrying out his original plan Of in

tenants this morning, Cameron freely
makes threat that II Blaine men go on
with their fight in the convention, not a
Blaine man will be allowed in the Chicago
delegation. The Blaine folks make q
louder threat, that in that event they will
20 back to their districts and elect dele
gates by popular vote Of the party, and
appeal directly to the Chicago convention
for recognition. They say this would
destroy the moral force of Cameron's

My attention has been called to an arti-
Gle in your paper OF the 9th Of last month,
signed P. B. p, and hailing from Sisters
Vile in this (Tyler) county, and I now
write only to correct a mistake in that
article in regard to myself.
The mistake referred to is embraced-ih
the following sentence taken from P. B.
P.'s article:
"As to the difference between the routes
to st. Marys 1t is twenty-six miles by the
river, and Mr.. Pugh and VIM. l. Boreman,
both OF Middlebourne, the latter the
father OF K. s. B., thereby having the
advantage in age and knowledge, admit
ted to VIM. Gillespie, Of our place, that 1t
was six miles farther via Middlebourne to
St. Marys from Martinsville than by the
river"
1 desire only to say that P. B. P. must
have misunderstood Mr.. Gillespie, for l
certainly never made the statement at
tributed to me in the sentence quoted
above, and knowing Mr.. Gillespie as l do,
| feel very safe in saying that he will not
say that ever made any such statement
to him. take exception to the manner
in which P. B. P. introduces my name in
TO his article, but for that, I should likely
have let the thing pass without notice.
I do think P. B. P. will see the impro-
priety OF using my name as he has done,
and especially as he does not appear over
his own signature, even If he had heard
me make the statement himself. ] think,
to say the least, 1t would have been in
bad taste. l am in favor OF railroads any
where through our county or State, as to
the routes, those who pay for building the
roads have right to select which route
they think most advantageous, and they
will do so regardless OF what others may
