Death to Hawks.

Among the numerous private acts and
resolutions passed by our late Legisla-
ture, we find one act Of general nature
which indicates return to primitive
legislation. Thisis an act supplementary
to Section 1909, of the revised statutes,
and provides that "any one killing o
bird known as the hawk. shall, on the
presentation of such dead bird to the
clerk of the township where he or they
may reside, be entitled to certificate to
the amount Of fifty cents for each hawk
SO produced"
Any person claiming the reward shall
produce to the township clerk the num-
ber Of heads for which he claims re-
ward, and it is made the, duty Of the
township clerk to destroy the heads i'm
mediately and issue his certificate to the
County Commissioners, and on presen-
tation Of such certificate by the person.
or his order, to whom 1t was given, the
Commissioners are required to Issue
their order upon the treasurer Of the
county for the amount of the reward
which shall be paid out of the surplus
dog tax fund.
This act was passed and took effec,
April l6. 1881, and is found on page Is:
of the laws oil last winter.
Let the boys brighten up their sho
guns and rifles, and they can soon wiz
enough to pay the tax on their fayorit'

LONDON, May 20.-Iu the House Of
Lords, last night, Granville said: Russis,
with the support Of Germany, recently
proposed q conference of the Powers
with view to joint action against as.
sassination. From no sympathy with
Nihilism, be said, Her Majesty's gov.
ernment declined to participate in the
conference, believing it would have no
practical result. and that for the gov.
ernment to JOIN it would not be agreea-
BILE to either Parliament or the country.
That the refusal, however, being made,
it is more incumbent upon US to use all
the measures which our own laws put at
our disposal for Furnishing persons guilty
ot melting to murder, and he believed
those means would be found adequate

had taken, now long they had been gone

recapture them, were numerous. In the

FINE WORK AND FAST.
Changes In Rail Road
Time East, and New and Unsur-
passed Advantages Offered
the Public.

The change in the time schedule GO
ing into effect the ed, Oh the Baltimore
and Ohio, cannot but prove very pop
ular one, as il offers many new and un-
surpassed advantages. For instance, the
train which formerly left Chicago at
four o'clock and Eve minutes under the
new schedule, does not leave until five
fifteen. Some conception Of the light
ming time made by this train may be
cleaned from the fact, that it reaches
Washington an entire night in advance
OF the trains Of competing lines leaving
Chicago at exactly the same time. As
is we'll known, all the eastern lines run
through trains east, leaving at 5.15, and
the B. + O., while arriving at Washing
ton so long ahead of all the other roads,
reaches New York at the same time,
Another immense advantage possessed
by the B. & O., is that its trains run
through solid from Chicago to WASH
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York. There is no change of cars Of
any class whatever, the entire journey
On other lines the only cars running
through without change are the sleepers-
The B d O., being under single man.
sgement is enabled to run its trains
without change, and those who do snot
care to 60 to the expense of palace cars,
cannot but appreciate the comfort and
convenience OF not being forced to
change cars at unreasonable hours of the
night, or in fact, at any time. The regu-
lar coaches on the B. d y. are models Of
luxurious and elegant construction, be.
ing for the most part new and Of the
latest designs. The track has of late
heen wonderfully improved, almost
countless tons of steel rails having been
put in and everything brought up to the
very highest standard. Direct connec-
ton is made with the 5.15 train by all
the great railway lines traversing the
States of Illinois. Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minneso
ia, etc. The B. & 0. runs it's own line
of sleeping cars through from Chicago
to Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York, and the general verdict
OF the travelling public is, that in mag
ni6cent proportions, superb furnishing
and luxurious appointments, they excel
any cars ever placed on wheels. The
same may truthfully be said o: the new
parlor cars just placed upon the road
Nothing finer in car construction has
ever been seen. The dining Car line, in
and out OF Chicago is deservedly most
popular, as the service is simply all the
most exscsing could desire. The meala
are given at the uniform price of seventy
FIVE cents each and embrace all the luxu-
ries as we'll as the solids of the season.
There is no material change in the NOR
ming train from the city, but the Fast
Express from New York reaches Chica.
60 an hour earlier than under the old
schedule.

John Hayes, Of Harmar, Shoots
Four Balls Into His Wife, and
Kills Her Instantly.

Considerable excitement was created
on the streets early this, Wednesday,
morning, by the announcement that q
notorious character OF Harmar, named
John Hayes, bad shot and instantly killed
his wife, Nan Hayes, q character equally
as notorious as her husband. Upon re-
pairing to the scene Of the tragedy,
which is . small two-story frame build
ing situated four doors below Colonel
Moore's store in Harmar, we found the
report true. The murdered woman was
lying cold aud stiff on the floor Of the
back room where che had fallen when
the death dealing bullets we're fred. She
Was neatly dressed, but presented hor-
rid appearance. Four shots bed taken
effect-one in the left breast which had
evidently entered the heart, and there
was wound on the right cheek which
bad greatly swollen the face. There was
also, q wound on the head and another
on the arm, showing that four shots had
been fired.
