HENRY HILGENMEYER, aged II, and
Ella Wenning, aged 10, of Indianapolis, re
Gently resolved to die together rather than
be parted. They bought some laudanum
and went to German picnic. Toward
evening they drove to the neighborhood of
Greenwood, twelve miles distant, spread
the buggy robe in fence corner, sat down
side by side, divided the drug into equal
portions, kissed and bid each other an eter-
nal farewell, swallowed the poison and
went to sleep. Late in the night the girl
awoke, and soon after her lover also was
aroused, both surprised and disappointed to
find that they were alive. They agreed to
wait until morning, when they walked three
miles and purchased another supply Of the
drug. Returning to the robe in the woods,
another eternal farewell was exchanged and
the boy and girl this time swallowed a
double dose. Henry's body was found OH
the 22d. Ella went home in a very forlorn
condition. Her appearance indicated that
she had been through terrible ordeal and
exposure.
Mrs. MARIA BRUCE, of Rappahan-
mock, Va, on the 22d, murdered ten-year-
old step daughter, beating her helpless and
unoffendng victims head to a Jelly. After
committing this crime the wretched woman
bore the body to a neighboring cabin, and
saturating the clothing with kerosene oil set
it on fire. The flames spread, however, and
attracted some neighbors, who saw the half
roasted body of the girl lying on the floor,
and caught the step-mother as she was
hurrying away.

THE arrest of Doc Holiday, an al
legged Arizona stage robber, desperate and

that the arrest is only plan of the cowboys
to get Holiday in their hands and murder
him. These rival factions in Arizona have
terrorized that part Of the country, and at

How POLITICIANS differ! Yes ter
day we were accosted by an enthusi-
astic Republican. who asked why in
thunder do you support DR.. Wales for
Mayor? We simply stated that we had
shown no preference for the Doctor in
the columns of our paper. The same
day another Republican no less enthu-
siastic asked us if we had no more
sense than to support Mr.. Lichtenstein
for Mayor? We protested by saying
that we had shown Mr.. Lichtenstein
no preference over Others "See here
don't you know that it is no use throw
ing away your votes on Macallister for
Mayor? | am surprised at you.' said
another Republican. We tried unsuG.
cesstully to convince our interrogation
that we were no more Of a MacallisteI
man than Wales or Lichtenstein man
and we had to let him have his own
way. AS if to complete the list anoth-
er said we were crazy for making Mr.
Vincent our first choice. We told him
we were a Vincent, Macallister, a
Lichtenstein and a Wales man, but
he wouldn't believe us and we had
to give him up Briefly We would say
that we intend to vote for whom We
please and would be pleased to vote for
either of the gentlemen named.

SINDRAM, THE New York murderer,
is not to have a new trial after all, ard
as the day after TO morrow is the day
fixed for his execution, he had better
set about making a speedy preparation
for death. Extraordinary efforts have
been made to save the life of Sindram
He had fair and impartial trial aud
was convicted and sentenced to be exc
cuted, but after evidence having been
discovered which it was thought would
mitigate his punishment had it been
produced at the trial, uuavailing effJrts
were made to get the Governor to par
don him. The law as it defined murder
prevented the re-opening of the case for
a new trial after sentence had been
pronounced. The Legislature was then
invoked aud a law was hurried through
which met the present case as well as it
is intended to meet all subsequent
cases, making it legal for the courts to
grant new trial at any time before the
execution. 1t was fully expected that
Judges Brady and Davis would have
no hesitation in granting new trial,
but when the case was laid before them
they both concurred in peremptorily
refusing it, thus dashing the hopes OF
Siudram to the ground and disappoint-
ing his friends. There is no hope fol
Sindram now unless the Governor in
terposes with pardon, which is not
likely.

A debatable question in the sections
where the Chinese abound, is what sort
of an oath is binding on the Chinese
in this country. Certainly with people
who know nothing about the Bible
that book would be of no avail in taking
an oath, no more than if it was taken
upon an almanac. A Mr.. Williamson
his "Middle Kingdom" q work OF au-
thority concerning Chinese life, declares
that in judicial proceedings in China
an oath is as unknown an institution
as Jury, "Nothing like an oath" he
says, sis required Of witnesses there. -
A clerk of Western Territorial Court,
however says, that in his experience he
has often known. Cinnamon to be r.
CURED as preliminary of testitying IN
judicial proceedings,to make a promise
to tell the truth, accompanied by the
breaking of dinner plate, or by cutting
off the head of a rooster. Notwith-
standing the assertion of Mr.. Williams
above quoted, the latter ceremonial
certainly is practiced in China. For
example, Dobell, well known orien-
tai traveller fifty years ago wrote the
following:
"ln Canton, when they wish to swear
o witness, live cock and a kuite are
presented to him and he is Obliged to
cut of the cocks head the moment he
takes the oath. Indeed, the cutting off
the cocks head is considered in the
same light as we do kissing the Bible;
though l doubt much if it be really held
equally sacred in country where NOR
ais are 50 debased.
Where the Chinese are increasing
rapidly in population, the subject of an
oath is not a trivial one. If The old
Canton plan is pursued it might be
very substantial item of public expense
in criminal proceedings where the price
of poultry is high. In civil suits there
might be way to compel parties call
ing Chinese witnesses to furnish
knife and a rooster at their own ex-
pense.

THE DEMOCRATS in Congress are
marshalling their forces to make IA
united opposition to the unseating of
Chalmers, Dibble, Finley. and other
Democrats who the Committee on cleo
tions say hold their seats illegally, by
the most outrageous frauds ever per-
petrated upon the ballot box. The
Democrats are never more solid and
united than when called upon to vote
to sustain the action Of the party right
or wrong. 1t is doubtful, however, if
with all their solidisy in favor of their
party when the ballot box is stuffed,
they will be able to save such men as
Chalmers, Dibbly, Finley, Wheeler
and others who outraged honesty and
decency in forcing themselves into

Cheso Homes for workiusmsn.

Notwithstanding the high price Of
building material and mechanical
labor there are some excellent oppor-
tunities offered for mechanics and
laborers procuring homes for them
selves, with but small outlay OF
money. A day or two ago we came
across gentleman of large means
who is offering most excellent oppor-
tunities to poor men who want to secure
homes for themselves. His plan OF
operations is this. He has large num-
Der of lots in beautiful and command
ing place just outside tho city limits,
but convenient toa number of large
manufacturers, which he proposes to
dispose of in the following manner, the
lots being 90 by 10 feet He will give
the two frat lots to anybody who Will
erect houses on them, 20 cost not less
than $500. The next two lots he will
reserve for himself and so on alternate
ly every two lots until all are disposed
OF. Preference will be given for those
who build, to Purchase the interve-
ming lots at s. per foot. AS there is no
trouble in these times to get money on
mortgage to build house if the ground
is clear the advantages OF the offer
I 10
Another gentleman of large means
who has beautiful lots in an eligible
part of the city makes the following
offer: He offers lots % by l2o feet, sand
and stone for the cellars, and will take
a second mortgage for the same, plo'
vided the persons purchasing Will
build houses on the lots costing about
$1,000 including lots.
1t will be seen at a glance that TINS
is another grand opportunity for poor
but honest and industrious men to SO
cure homes for themselves.
Other splendid opportunities are Oh
fered in other portions of the city, a
mongst which Mr.. Peter j. Ford's plan
of selling lots Oh the installment princl
pie is good one. If there are not TOO
many labor strikes. forcing up the
price of labor and material, there is
no good reason why large number OF
the mechanics and worklngmen Of Will
mington should not secure good homes
for themselves the present year.

ANOTHER ANTI-Chinese bill has pass
ed the House, and will most assuredly

sent to the President for his signature
1t only differs with the old vetoed bill
in re gard to the length of time the Chi,
nese are prohibited from coming to this
country-ten years being the limit III
stead of twenty. This only gives the
Hoodlums ten years start over the CHI
