THE FATAL KNIFE.
A Tragedy In JeffersOnville, K

A Tragedy In JeffersOnville, Ky.
LOUISVILLE, October "A terrible
tragedy occurred in Jacksonville at ii
o'clock last night, Ed. McDermott,
notorious character, killing John Keefe
instantly and wounding B. McCardle. A
reporter was at the scene OF the tragedy
soon after its occurrence, and learned
the following facts: Ed. McDermott went
into Dietz's saloon and got into an alter
cation with Pat Duffy. Diets drove thsm
from the saloon and the fight continued
outside. McDermott was drunk. B.
McCardle, aged %, came along and en-
deavored to make peace. McDermott,
without saying word, stabbed McCar.
die twice in the left breast. Duffy, with
whom McDermott was fighting, then
knocked McDermott down. About this
time John Keefe, young man who
lives in the nsighborhood, came along,
and seeing McDermott's hat upon the
ground picked it up and was about to
place it upon his head, when McDer-
mott drew a knife and made thrust at
Keefe's throat. The aim was good. The
knife struck the juglar vein and Keefe fell
at the murderer's feet and was soon a
corpse. The police Of Jeffersonville
found McDermott upon the streets and
took him to the station, but did not lock
the door and McDermott walked away.
At 12 o'clock, however, McDermott was
again arrested and lodged in Jail. Nc.
Cardle cannot recover. NcDermott
lives near Prison South, and is the son
OF a McDermott who shot his wife and
baby and then committed suicide few
years since. Ed. McDermott is one oil
the most desperate men in Jacksonville,
John Keefe was worthy and respecta'
BILE young man.

Rumors Of q Heavy Failure.

CHICAGO, October 4.-There was al
most another panic on Exchange to-day
when it was rumored that John B. Lyon,
who was reported to be short about q
million bushels OF corn, had suspended.
Lyon has for years been the heaviest
shipper of corn in this market, and
sometimes almo.t the exclusive shipper.
He was said 10 have been called for one
million dollars margins last night after
business hours, and to have failed to re-
spond. This fact and the action Of the
board OF directors in fixing the margi
nal price of corn at Sc cents broke the
hlC- h"r- i ,e corn market. All
otu,r grains sold down in sympathy.
November corn sold down to 70c from
75Ac, the closing price yesterday. De-
cember wheat sold down to 6Skc, break
OF SIC. October sold from Sl.42i down
to Sl.4l, and November wheat from
si.46l down to Sl.4ia. At 1870 prices
we're still weak and declining and it was
thought that fact might help Lyon to
pull through.

Massacre Of English and italian Subjects.
PARIS, October 4-General Farre,
Minister OF War, has received kilograms
confirming the report OF the burning OF
the railway station at Wadzergha, and
the massacreing OF number of en-
ployes, including several British SUBJ
jects by the insurgents in Tunis. The
attack on the station was made by the
Arabs, who recently attacked Ali Bey.
The station master, an ex-Lieutenant in
the French army, and chevalier OF the
Legion Of Honor, was burned alive,
and ten employees, mostly Maltese and
Italians, massacred. Roustan, the
French Minister at Tunis, has invited
tho English and Italian Consuls
to assist at the official inquiry
into the disaster. The English
and Italian consulur clerks, doctors,
etc have accordingly gone TO Wadser.
CHA for that purpose. Six hun dred
troops went there on the S0th, but the
Arabs disappeared long before their ar.
rival. Tie massacre was undoubtedly
caused by the wholesale destruction OF
olive forests, villages and vineyards
which General Sabatier considered
necessary around Zaghanan. The Tuni'
sian authorities are evidently trying to
screen the Arabs acc lsed OF numbering
the Maltese and Italians. No arrests
have be n made.
PARIs. October 4-The Tebessa col.
umn of French troops has already en-
tered the Regency and captured Gafsa,
after a severe bate with the Djirid
Arabs. Ali Bey has sent messenger
stating that he is not able to hold out
any longer, and demanding a French
escort to effect his retreat. 1t is rumored
that his position is critical, mutiny
having broken out in his camp.

AN HONEST TREASURY OFFICIAL.

WASHINGTON, October 4--There is
general conviction here that under Pres
ident Arthur's administration Tho inves-
tigation OF the Treasury Department,
started by Secretary Window and so
suddenly stopped, will be re-epened and
carried out. OF course this will Bot be
done until new Secretary of the Treas.
ury is appointed. There is considera-
able nerN business in certain official quar-.
ters in apprehension OF the coming in
vestigation. This much is known, that
President Arthur, in speaking in re-
gard to the alleged Star Route
frauds to the Attorney General and
Postmaster General and 10 Col. Bliss,
declared in a general way that all frauds
upon the government should be ex-
posed, and wherever there was any evil
dence OF fraud it should be investigated.
The President indicated that such
would he his policy, as in his opinion
public officials who betrayed their trusts
or misused their power should
be not only exposed, but punished,
and that on the other hand, where
Allegations Of misconduct Were Made.
there was no way to clear the parties
accused il they we're innocent, except
through investigations.
It will be remembered that the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the Gus.
todian's Office in the Treasury submit
ted a preliminary report duplicating a
number OF persons. Custodian Pitney
was dismissed, but the report was locked
up and the investigation stopped. Soon
after the submission of this report,
President Garfield was shot. Had that
not occurred, or had he recovered, no
doubt the investigation would have
been prosecuted.
The Gdretts, of this city, has published
an article upon Assistant Secretary Up.

worth $3.50, 900, all made since he came
into Office upon an average salary OF
$l,hOO per year. That he owns $40, 900

the treasury investigation, that Upton
approved of the allowance Of money in
official accounts to pay for copies of
