Arrest OF the Murdersrs of the
Gibbons Family.
CINCINNATI, Jan. "a special from
Ashland, KY, says "The men ar
rested TOR the Gibbons murder are Wm.
Neal, Ellis Graft and George Ellis, all
white. All of them were arrested last
night and Kept quietly In the hotel, in
custody of Constable HeAin. George
Ellis confessed to the constable. He says
Graft and Neal awakened him on the
nIght of the murder, and urged him to
go with them TO Glbbons's house. He
went reluctantly. They entered by a
window, and Neal and Graft QUIT aged
the tive girls. Emma Thomas recog
nized Neal, and said she would tell her
mother. Robert, the boy, was then
about to give the alarm, when Craft
struck him on the head with an axe,
killing him instantly. Craft then
told Fanny that her time to die had
come, and despite the piteous cries of
the child for mercy he struck her on
the head and killed her Instantly.
Neal then killed Emma. Thomas in
the same way. Graft and Neal at
first denied Ellis's story, but Neal
confessed this afternoon, and both he
and Ellis waived examination. Craft
will have a hearing on Thursday.
Ellis and Neal are married, Craft is
single, They were all present when
the Gibbons residence was burned,
and one of them drove the hearse at
the funeral and another was pall-
bearer. Crowds have been gathering
all day at Catlettsburg, and threats of
lynching are common.
The bodies of the victims were ex-
umed to- day aud the wounds exams
ined. 1t was found they correspond
exactly with The s atement of Ellis as
to the position of the parties when the

has made all preparation for death
and expects it. Detective Hefiin
thinks that Ellis was the chief actor
10 the tragedy, and that his confession
is due to fear, and that the others
would give information first.

Mr.. OSCAR WILDE, Of England
who has reputation as an "@ethete,"
yesterday landed on these Western
shores in search, it is rumored, not
so much Of the beautiful, as of thoes
materlalismB known as American
dollars. Mr.. Wilde was of course,
Immediately upon landing in erview-
ed by reporter;s or, to speak more
correctly, by a number of reporters :.
He appears to have submitted to the
interviewing process, although as
commonly practlsed there ls nothing
Of an aesthetic nature about it, with
considerable resignation, not TO say
exhi laration. When called upon bY
one OF the interviewers to define
aestheticism, Mr.. Wilde dad 80 by
declaring it to be search after the
signs Of the beautiful as the science
through which men look after the
correlation Ofthe arts-or, to speake
more exactly, the search after the
secret of life. 1t Is not for us to dis
pute the correctness of this definition
with Mr.. Wilde, although it must be
said that if estheticism be all this it
is much more important than has
commonly been supposed. But TO
come down from theories TO facts,
does 1t not quite frequently happen
that in searching for the signs Of the
beautiful itself is mIssed altogether
Be this as it may ,the strongest Of the
accusations against Mt. Wilde and
his coterie is that while they pirate
unceasing of beauty, their is no such
thing as beauty in their aesthetic
utterances and demonstrations. But
then, who is to define beauty?
