A Brutal Tnnle Murder.

CHICAGO, August PA Mount Pulaski
en- special says: Mcmahon, the farmer
who = ith his hired men fell victims to the
assassins near here, Is owner Of splendid
farm where he dwelt in quiet, retired way
as man Of forty, aud had accumulated a
large fortune. He was bachelor, and did
his own housekeeping. John Carlock, aged
eighteen, and Bob. Matheny, aged twenty,
were the only other men about the place.
Both were quiet and industrious, and like
McMahon were much esteemed. They
were last seen on Thursday week stacking
wheat. The neighsors observing their
absence searched for them Saturday and
Sunday, and finally fouad all three bodies
fostering and ofiensively odcrous ill., the
rank weeds about the house. McMshon's
throat was cut from ear to ear, the head
almost severed from the body and the cash
extending clear down to the spinal column.
About the battered head cloth had been
tied. The bodies of Carlock and Maheny
were covered with clotted gore and their
throats cut as their masters had been. The
limbs were bound securely with Irvine taken
from the reaping machine, and they were
gagged and blindfolded with cloths. Every
thing pointed to 6endish determination aud
deliberate purpose. The house was ran
sacked, $1,000 in money taken, and the
household furniture broken. The coronsr's
jury returned verdict that the murder was
committed by unknown persons, but the
whole country is ablaze and alert. Lynch
law will be inevitable II the murderers can
be caught. Suspicion rests on a man who
worked for the farmer some mouths ago
and who was seen OIL the farm Thursday.
Footprints % Of two men walking single file
were discovered and followed two miles
across lots uutil the trail was lost In the
main road. There arc no other clues. The
asssssins had watered and fed the stock and
taken other precautions to prevent the dis
covery OF the crime. They were no novices
In the dreadful work. "Jakie," who is sus-
pected, il . trsmping farm hand and had
quarrelled with Mcmahon about a year ago.

psnias the Reporr.

NEW York, August 21.-In reply to the
statement that no dividend on Northern
Pacific railroad stock was declared because
ofthe hostile attitude Of Congress and .
desire to avoid the luminosity of the next
Congress, which might be fostered by an
appearance Of prosperity Of the company, .
prominent executive officer Of the Northern
Pacific declares the statement untrue, and
that the question of dividend was not dis
cussed ct the meeting Of the directors, and
and that no apprehension Of hostile aetion
at Washington would have dstsrrsd thu
board from declaring dividend had there

The Afternoons Testimony In the Case
Against Mrs. Scoville for Insanity.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-At the afternoon ses-
sion of the Scoville insanity case, Mr.. SEQ
vile continued his testimony. He be-
ieved his wife insane because she was
sometimes quite irritable and nervous.
She once said if Guiteau was taken
away her coffin should be got
ready, and if she went her daughter
Bertha should not remain. She said
she was afraid to live in the same house
with witness, as if he should die suddenly
people would believe she poisoned him.
She showed loss of feeling and indiffer-
ence to the sentiments which affect orli-
nary people. The execution of Guiteau
had little effect on her.
Gross examined Scoville asserted he had
always been kind and devoted husband.
and all his efforts were directed to
restrain her from going about and into
gentlemen's offices and making acquaint-
ances in irregular ways. He never accused
her OF Improper intimacy with other men
She had an idea that she was growing
younger, and got in the habit of undress.
ing and sleeping in her room with the door
open, an impropriety for which he remon-
strated with her.
The next witness was Mrs. Fanny SEQ
vile Harper, Mrs. Scoville's daughter. He1
testimony was as to the queer actions and
epileptic fits of her mother since witness
was ten years old. Her evidence in the
main corroberated that of her father.

THE UNIvERSALISTS.

They Resolve in Favor of the Abolition of
The Death Penalty, the Liquor Traffic and
Cruelty to Animals.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2O.-In the Univer-
salists' general convention a resolution
was adopted condemnin& the death pen
atty, and recommending more humane
punishments. Rev. T. H Tabor of Illinois
offered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
RESOLVED, That this convention reafirms
it's deep devotion to the cause of temper
ance, and that we are thankful before God
that the states of Iowa and Kansas have
forbidden the manufacture and sale of in
te1icating drinks by amendments to their
state contributions
Resolved, That we hope the good work
may go ON until the principal cause of
degradation and crime shall be banished
from every state by its constitution and
laws.
RESOLVED, That we deplore the fact that
the course pursued by large part of the
public press of our country in relation to
the moral influence of the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating drinks is calcu-
lated to deceive the very elect if possible.
A resolution was adopted that it is the
sense of tho convention that all legislatures
should enact stringent laws for the preven-
ton OF cruelty to animals and provide for
the execution of such laws. Adjourned.
