The boy writes from Lithapolis, say

The question has been asked, "Why

death in a rebel prison.
2. Democrats tried to sever this
Union.
3. Democrats sought to extend sla-

Burning of the Collins House, Centre
vile.

Last Thursday night, July 20, or
rather Friday morning at about 2
O'Clock, the barn attached to the Col
lins House, Centreville, was discovered
to be on fire, in fact was almost en-
tirely consumed when discovered.
The house soon caught and was
burned to the ground. In the barn
was three horses, hack, harness, hay,
etc, all of which were consumed. A
greater share of the furniture in the
house was saved. Loss all told about
$1,000; insurance on house $4,000.
The furniture was taken out of the
McCauley House on the opposite side
of the street, as was the material from
the harness shop owned by VIM Nc
Cauley. The McCauley House was
also conducted by VIM. McCauley.
The damage done to the McCauley
House furniture was considerable
John Collins owned the Collins
House, barn, horses, etc. He had been
on the jury in the case of the mur-
dered Swede, John Johnson, and 1t is
snrmlsed that his property was fred
by reason Of some fancied wrong in
CONNECTION with the murder trial.
BE that as 1t may the fire was without
aoabt the work Of dRstardly ineen-
ataft.

Still More Concerning the Ceutreyille
Murder.

The evidence, in the Centreville
murder case in which John Johnson,
a Swede, lost his life was concluded on
Thursday afternoon of last week, and
is volumhous in extent, so extensive
is it that we do not attempt giving
even synopsis of the proceedings.
In addition TO the men we mentioned
as being arrested last week, Robert
Mccormick is now in the county Jail
in connection with the murder. On
the evening after the first six We're
arrested Mccormick said said he could
| put his hand on the man who COM
mitted the murder, when he was ar
rested and held as a witness, John
Collins going his bail for appearance at
] the September term of court when he
threatened to decamp and leave Col
lins to pay the bail. Hearing of this
Collins again had him brought before
| Esquire Taylor on the bail piece.
| Upon this examination he swore that
he knew nothing about the murder
at all, when Esquire Taylor committed
Mccormick for perjury to await the
action of the Court in September.
There are now seven men in Jail all
connected directly or indirectly with
the murder of the Swede, johnson. A
tremendous amount of testimony, as
we have before said, has been taken,
and yet there seems to be surrounding
the case an air of mystery which
nothing short of trial in court will
set right. We have no desire to pre-
judice the case of any person arrested
in connection with this crime, but we
sincerely hope that speedy punish
ment will overtake the perpetrators of
the foul and unprovoked deed. For
when an unoffending man can be
struck down in cold blood without
anything being done about it, just then
will our county beng in Il social con-
dition bordering on barbarism.
The law is for the protection of all
and the guilty parties concerned in
the death of this poor Swede will find
to their fearful cost that its majesty
cannot he violated with impunity.
Anything transpiring between this
time and court week of interest con-
nected with the crime we will report
And at the trial we shall lay the evil
dence before our readers in detail.

Ex-senator Stanley Matthews de-
livered great speech in Cincinnati on
Saturday night. Its closing sentences
were as follows: "In my opinion there
is enshrined in the body polite of
the Republican organization all there
is good in our present political situa.
ton, and all the mischief and all the
danger is in the Democratic party.
To my mind, the Republican party
embodies now ,asit has always done, the
great idea of our nationality, and /
spell the word Nation with the biggest
N. All there is in the unity of this
people, all there is in the fraternity,
of these races that are 10 inhabit and
cultivate and civilize this continent in
its keeping, the keeping of this nation
i'll its own integrity and unity and
greatness and power and glory, and in
the idea of its nationality, is carried
out by that political party which has
upheld its banners and defended its
flag and preserved its constitution. In
that to me lie the hopes of the world
as they are TO be developed on this
continent.

Republican Campaign Manual.

A Republican Manualu for the
campaign of $780, is announced as in
print and very soon to be issued. 1t
is written by Mr.. e. V. Smalley, long
known as a brilliant newspaper cor
respondent, and for many years lead
ing editorial writer on the New York
Tribune. Leading features of the
book, will of course be biographies of
the candidates. 1t will be the most
authoritive and most complete sketch
of General Garfield which will appear.
Mr.. Smalley was at one time the
Generals private secretary, and has
been his intimate friend during the
whole of his public career, and is
therefore qualified by special advan-
tages as well as by talent and eXper-
fence for the task undertaken.
Garfield as au Orator and as a
Statesman is a special department,
containing extracts from the Generals
most celebrated speeches, upon topics
of the greatest interest in the present
campaign; and representing The best
efforts Of u brilliant scholar, an orator
OF rare power, and statesman of con-
summate tact and skill, it will be read
with great interest. Another depart
ment, not only of great present inter
est, but Of permanent value, is a full
history of the Republican party, its
principles. struggles and victories,
with important statistical tables, par
ticulGrly valuable for reference in DO
litical campaigns.
1t is II book which earnest Republi-
cans will delight in, and find the best
of all arsenals from which to draw
ammunition for campaign use; book
which the independent aud conserva
tive voters will study with interest and
profit; Il book which small Democrat
stump speakers will steer clear of
when they can. 1t is published by
the American Book Exchange, New
York, whose Literary Revolution"
has been the wonder and pleasure OF
book buyers for months past, and its
price, therefore, is only fifty cents,
with seven cents extra for postage
where sent by mail. Leading book
sellers, agents of the publishers, will
have it.

Death Of a millionaire,

About one o'clock Monday morning
Walter Bryant stepped out of the
second story window of the room at
the Hyde House where he was sleep
ing-landing on his back in greatly
demoralized condition. His groans
attracted the attention of guests of the
house who on ascertaining the cause
at once went to the assistance OF the
wounded man. He was conscious when
found, and said he had been dreaming
and imagined that he was in carri-
age and being conveyed to place to
which he did not wish to go, when he
succeeded III freeing himself and as he
supposed stepped from the carriage.
The distance from the window 10 the
pavement is about fourteen feet, and II
terrible distance for man to fall when
awake. AT half past nine Monday
night the old man was called from Ia
Dor to eternal repOse, after suffering
considerable pain, his death being the
result of the fail which caused dis
placement Of some one of the vital
organs, and internal hemorrhage. No
bones were found TO have been broken
He was about 70 years Of age, and
at the time of his death citizen of
Philadelphia, although he had for
many years been Il resident of Ale
gheny City, where with seven chill
dren who had laid down in dust be-
fore him, he was consigned to Earth's
bosom. Mr.. Bryant was we'll known
in Elk and Jefferson counties, where
he was largely interested in timber
lands. Being, it is said, the largest
taxpayer in Jefferson county. In this
county in conjunction with Daniel
Euwer he owned 5000 acres of pine
lands in Ridgway and Spring Creek
township from which the firm of
Bryant & Euwer had realized u royalty
of perhaps 100000 in the past twelve
or fourteen years. Mr.. Bryant's busi-
ness here at the time of his death was
to arrange for the rebuilding of the
old mill at lower Mill Creek. Dying
he leaves, it is said, a million and
half of property and money, and
three sons, one daughter, and widow
to each of whom will be left COM
Portable sum. His will was made,
and his two sons who were summoned
from Kane to their fathers deathbed
are authority for saying that their
fathers business could be settled in
very short time, so strict had he been
in his business habits. A close fisted,
penurious old man, who yet in the
fieeting days allotted to him was as in
tent on increasing his gain, as though
the inevitable debt of Nature was
never to be paid. Without attempting
to moralize, it seems that in the death
of a man of this stamp, although
his millions had been accumulated, the
world is no loser, and that the lesson
of thrift which his example teaches
is more than lost, by the lack of that
sympathy for suffering humanity,
which such great wealth might
have made something more than
sympathy, which was characteristic
of the dead man. Idle is it to crowd
around the tinseled casket of such a
man and drop the tears of pity for his
death on account of his millions
Better is it that the tears should be
saved for the poor who in his long
career he has either oppressed or
failed to relieve.

New York August 3.-Dr. Tanner has
experienced no nausea since midnight
and his stomach altogether is in an
improved condition. His features are
still pinched and drawn and his eyes
look hectic. His temper is irritable
and the crowd of spectators annoy
him. The usual drive failed to benefit
him and he says he will give up going
out until the end of his fast. During
the morning he drank at intervals
less than half a pint of croton and
mineral water. He is now on his
thirty-seventh day. The record of DR.,
HOeber, who was one OF the watchers
last night says: Il don't yet find any
thing alarming in DR.. Tanners con-
dition and believe from the strength
developed when he walks, moves and
speaks, rnat il he abstains from ir-
ritating drinks, like mineral water,
that he may fast four or five DAYS
more-that is up to Sunday" This
strength seems to leave him during
the early morning hours and at this
time the watchers are doubly careful
lest signs of Il collapse should begin to
show themselves. At one time dur
ing the night there was no less than
ten physicians in the gallery. Tanner
seemed to wish Tor all the air he could
possibly get and had all the windows
open. y refreshing breeze during the
night was enjoyed very much by
him.
