Crimes and Criminals.
BRUTAL MURDER.

NEwCoMERsTowN, Ohio, April 25-
Particulars have just reached here
from the little village of Georgetown o.
one of the most deliberate and cold
blooded murders which has ever been
prepetrated in eastern Ohio. The par
ticulars of this most cowardly and re-
voting crime, as obtained by press
correspondent are as follows:
Collins Summers, one of the most
prominent farmers of Columbia coun-
ty, has had hired man named VIM.
Stull in his employ for the past year or
two and about ten days ago discharged
MIN on account of his quarrelsome
disposition. Since that time Stull has
been lurking in the neighborhood. Late
On Sunday Mrs. Summers was
at the barn milking her cows,
when she saw Stull approaching,
little dreaming of his murderous in
tent or of the horrible fate which
awaited her. He came and stood
within few feet of Mrs. Summers and
said good evening. She noticed nothing
wrong in his behavior, and after an
swering him very pleasantly, resumed
her work. Scarcely had she turned
| her back. when her coward y assassin
deliberately drew his six shooting re-
volver and emptied the contents of al
of the chambers into the body of his in
nocent and defenseless victim two of the
balls taking fatal effect, one in her
breast and the other through Ter
spine. The inhuman wretch then fled
and the family were horrifed on rush
ing to the barn to behold the victim o.
his bloody deed weltering in her gore
Stull accused Mrs. Summers of having
been instrumental in having him dis
charged, and this was his trivia
pretext for his numbering her
in cold blood. Parties are securing thu
country in every direction In search o
this dastardly assassin, and fears ar,
entertained that he will be lyrched
caught. He is 20 years old, weigh
one hundred and eighty pounds, is 81:
feet high, has dark hair and rather darl
complexion. 1t j. thought he il con
cealed in this neighoorhood.

Darwin suffered for some time from
weakness of the heart. but continued
to work to the last. He was taken i'll
Tuesday night with pains in the chest,
faintness and nausea. The nauSes
lasted more or less during Wednesday

until within quarter of an hour Of his
death.
Charles Robert Darwin was a grand

some necessary purchases.
At last they came home to Uncle
Phil's, and of course were received with
open arms by Aunt Susan. Next day
they all went over to look at Johns new
house, and to attempt to describe the
surprise and wonderment Of Aunt Susan
on the OCCASION, when she beheld there,
neatly arranged in the diff rent rooms,
her stolen bureaus, sofas. and many other
household articles which she had lovingly
intended to present to John and his bride
as wedding gift, would indeed be diff
fcult task.
The mystery was soon explained, how
ever, when Uncle Phil, in his drOll way,
and amid much laughter, told how that
he had, at Johns suggestion, burglarized
the house and quietly carried off the fur
niture 80 much priced by Aunt Susan and
placed it in Johns new house.
Then Aunt Susan was satisfied, though
she could not help expressing her surprise
at the cunning manner in which her lit
tie scheme had been frustrated.
"Oh, what a cosy little home this is, y
said Mary. "How nice everything looks
Why, aunty, you have given me treas
ures just wait till you see how sweet
I'll make this little place look"
And 30 she did, 60 quantity sweet, and
altogether charming did the little house
grow under her skillful fingers that it be-
came the rage, and the demand for old
things was almost as high in the village
as it was in our big city, where some
thing always RACES.
John became convert OF q very early
day, and even Uncle Phil said:
81 snumi Iddn't know the old truck
could look 50 kinder scrntic."
To which Aunt Susan would reply:
"I ailrrs knowed twas 'ristOcratic,
Philip"
They are ell very happy, and Aunt
Susan has long since forgotten and for
given Johns little joke

JOHNS LITTLE JOKE.

"Well, I snum I" exclaimed Uncle
Phil Wheeler, in his characteristic way,
finishing the speech with prolonged
whistle.
"What's tho matter, Uncle Phil ?"
"Hey? ?"
WHATS the matter ?"
"Why, your Aunt Susan just bought
another bureau T.
The speakers were Mr.. Philip Wheel
er, commonly called Uncle Phil, and his
handsome, devil-may- -care nephew, John
Langi0u. Uncle Phil was standing un-
der the Zig brown horse chestnut tree,
whittling new handle for his hammer,
when hay-wagou, containing bureau.
stopped before the gate.
Whose bureaus that ?" demanded
Uncle Phil.
"It's for Miss Wheeler" was the an
swer. "She bought it down at Squire
Thomas's auction"
"Weil, snuml -
John Langdon, just coming from tho
wood-house, armed cap-a-pie, with rod

quired the cause.

moments scrutiny of that awful piece
of household furniture. ~ say,
Uncle Phil, where is she going to put
it?"
"Hevf" CALCULATED Uncle Phil, star
ing hard at his nephew over his silver
bowed specs.
Where is she going to put it ?"
Uucle Phil shook his head and re-
newed his whiting.
"l'm blamed if 1 know" he said at
last. II reckon twill have to set atop

"Ive got three in my room now, and
shall protest against fourth" laughed
John. "Aunt Susan" addressing that
lady, who appeared on the piazza to
superintend the removal Of her newly-ac-
CURED treasure from the cart to the
house. "where are you going to put
that thing?"
"Well, John, if you want it, why Of
I'd put it i'll the buttery, it would be 80

:" the buttery is just the place for it;

asmuch as only brought handbag

Having recently male tripto the sum.

ply repaid for my trouble, send you a
short account of what / saw, hoping some
of your readers will go aud do likewise.
Starting about 3 p. NJ. from the county
road or trail near Capt. Smiths, we wound
around the mountain side, following for a
mile or SO an old trail, apparently used
as sheep trail now, and which ended on
the open mountain side, which is here
covered with scant growth of very short
grass, that seems to furnish pasturage for
quite number of sheep, several focks of
which we passed. They seemed to have
taken lessons from the deer, for they
scarcely waited for second look at US.
Stopping to rest we had grand view OF
Langdon or Smith lake, stretched out be-
low us, looking like polished mirror, for
mot even the faintest catspaw ruff1ed its
surface. But the mountain was still To
climb, so twas up and on again, until
after many rest and many climb we
arrived at what seemed the jumping>off
place; but descending diagonally down
one side of this ravine and up the other,
we found ourselves on tho mountain top,
in thick growth of small fir, with an oc>
casional large one here and there. At
this point we struck the trail that had
been cut few years ago for the coast
survey party, which greatly facilitated eur
progress. Wepassed several small marshes,
that wound in and cut among tine fir
thickets in all directions, yielding fine
crop OF strong, coarse grass abeut two
ieet high, in which We saw a few sheep
and deer. We also observed few wild
cranberries, but of an inferior quality.
AS evening was approaching we began
to look anxionsly about for good camp
ing place, with the requisites OF wood and
water and a dry berth, when, as good
luck would have it. we came upon the
most charming camping place imaginable,
right on the edge OF marsh of large di>
mensions. Situated on a slight eminence,
and shaded by a few shapey little frs,
there boiled up spring of as pure and
sweet water as ever tempted the parched
lips of a thirsty mortal. Upon closer in-
spection we found that others had camped
there before US, as the ruins of q brush
awning and the trimming up OF the trees
testified (probably the camp of some
hunters. or thsse who had cut the trail J
Passing the night here we made an early
start for the highest peak. After. follow

clare that one electric lamp is as effec-
tive as i've policemen. But there are
two changes the new force ia likely TO
produce which shorsid be mentioned.
BY facilitating the distribution Of force
IL will tend to promote decentralization,
and possibly may bring about more
equal distribution Of wealth. Eectri-
city, unlike the steam. does not neoessi.
tate the coRcentrationof capital. Steam
blew up aristocracy, but plutocracy cnay
be smitten by the thunderbolt. A
steam engine is only potent within the
range of its shafting. A dynamo ma
chine at the nearest mill-rate could
work a loom in every cottage or drive a
pillow on the holding of every peasant.
But still more remarkable is likely to
be its influence in the practical realira-
ton Of one OF the dreams Of modern
socialism. No practical man believes
that there 10 any prospect Of placing
the existing means of production in the
hands of the representatives of the
whole community. Both the surface Of
the land and its mineral treasures have
passed irrevoeably into the hands CT
private owners. But what promise to
be the motive forces of the future be-
longs to no man. The tides, the catar.
acts, and the wind are the heritage OF
all. II they are to be utilized the pub.
lie spirit of the local communities.
which every day shows more Impotence
with the existing monopolies, may be
relied upon to take prompt action to
prevent their exploitation for the bene-
fit of few. The gas and water sup
ply are already in the hands of the
municipalities. Who can calculate the
results which might follow if the local
authorities were also placed in posses,
sion of force destined to be the main
spring of our manufacturing industry
