Triple Murder.

The enterprising town of Ashland.
KY. on the Ohio river, three miles
above Ironton, was on Friday night
the scene of one of the most atrocious
murders ever committed in civil.
lied community. The house in
which the crime was committed was
the residence of j. w. Gibbons.
While Mr.. Gibbons and his wife were
absent from their home on business.
the house was visited by fiends who
outraged the two girls who were left
to care for it. One of the girls was
the daughter of Mr.. Gibbons and
was IA years old. The other was
named Emma Thomas, aged II,
The son of Mr.. Gibbons, who had
been asleep, was awakened by the
noise made by the villains. ran from
the house and attempted to give an
alarm. Before he could do so he was
caught, one of the ruffians splitting
his skull open with Ratchet, killing
him instantly. The ruffians then re.
turned to. the house, and, despite the
cries for mercy from the poor girls,
murdered them then and there.
One who made loud cutlery was
chopped to pieces with the Ratchet
that had murdered Mr.. Gibbons
son, while the other was suffncated in
a bed. The villains then determine
ed to do away with all traces oftheir
crime by burning the building.
With this end in view they poured
coal-oil on the bedding and the cloth
ing Of their victims, and saturated
some kindling with the same fluid.
They then set fire to the clothing and
fled from the scene. Fortunately for
the ends of justice, the light made by
the fire soon attracted attention, and
a number of persons arriving on the
scene, rescued the bodies of the vic
Tins from the burning building.
The remains of the two victims were
horribly mutilated, and were ghast-
ly beyond description. Nothing re-
mains of the building but the chin
ney that stands monument to the
terrible deed.
An inquest ON the remains of the
murdered victims was held Saturday
morning, but nothing was developed
that would establish the identity of
the murderers. AS may be supposed
the community of the little town and
the neighborhood are with wild ex-
element over the terrible deed. and
reward of 81 900 has been offered for
the apprehension Of the murderers.
Prominent detectives, among them
John r. Norris. Of Springfield, Ohio.
have been telegraphed for and are
fastening to the scene. 1t does not
seem possible that the perpetrators
Of this fearful crime can long escape
detention. 1t is safe to say that their
tenure of life will be very brief after
they are caught and returned to Ash.

at Granger, a station on the Union Pa

THG WHEAT iIAREET.

The San Francisco Journal Of Com
nlerce OF Aug llth has tho following
10 say in relation TO the wheat mar
ke;.
The most notable feature Of The
week has been the advance of Z lc In
wheat, and an active market at that.
Along with that there has been an ad-
vance In most descriptions OF grain,
sympathising with this. Tho cause
of it has been the large amount of ton
nago and the large amount TO arrive
and loading, equaling 415 900 tons,
Notwithstanding all that arrived here
about week ago. There Is still,
therefore, enough on the way and
loading to carry nearly twelve million
centals of wheat. This, of course, is
something unprecedented, and will
have its due effect on the tonnage
market, which however, still keeps
up with tolerable steadiness. There
has been an advance of 2e in Liver
pool, and the equivalents Of 3ac in
NSW 1uIh, anu THO tcUucH<y Ol the
wheat Is evidently TO advance. Very
good prices may therefore be ex-
pected by our farmers, but they
should be warned not to expect too
much for the higher wheat is. the.
higher will other articles also be, as
the more It costs the artisan 70 live
the more he must charge for his
work. Fair prices aud depend
ence for wealth on the liberality of
mother earth are the best for all in
the long run.
Liverpool advices by cable this
morning show heavy advance in
spot cargoes; also an advance of Is
In cargoes off coast. The market
here continues very strong, but
buyers and sellers being apart caused
business to be dull. Shippers areanx-
ions buyers, but holders under present
prospects and advisements are not
inclined to let go. Tho freight mar
ket is easier; spot charters are a3 It's

out recognizing in the least yoar right
to the information sought, | cheerfnlly
reply, that in the latter part of Novtn-

dred shares of the stock of the Oregon
Improvement company. and sold the

kindly italicizes an elrpr in date and
one grammatical blunder, bat does not
answer the main question, as to how
much he pail for that stock, if any
thing. and how much he secured. from
whom he purcha.el and tn whom he
sold, the reports being to the effect
that the business part of the transaction
was merely nominal. and the consider
able advance was designed as u pres

chases are common no~ IN the East,
