Horrible Details % tho Crimes %
Beck with, % Afford, Mass.

BosroS, Mass. Jan. 80.
Il ID now believed that the murder OF Simon
A. vandercook, near tho town OF Afford, this
cannibAlistic longings Of apowcrfully built man
Of ans personal appearance named Bsckwith,
between Is and 90 ycars OF age, and weighing
something ovcr two hundred pounds. On the
day when the constable and posse broke into
Deckwith's hut some sickening sights were
presented. In the stove were discovered
thu head, foot and ono hand Of human body,
charrcd and blackened by nre IN an adjoin-
ing room was found the rest OF the body, the
trunk split through, several ribs split on, and
the entrails taken out and lying In 1 basket
near by. Great slices Of flesh had beon cut
from the arms and legs, and there were evi.
denccs of ghastly and nendish purpose hay
The theory II, and Il ID said to be well founded,
that ncckwith IL cAnnibal. Il 10 thought he
intended To rat 4 portion Of vAndercook's body,
the liver Of tho victim having been found in his
trylng-pan and = portion Of Il gone. The MUIR
acrer had also. i Il said, washed his victims
sAltinH down In barrel, to serve for supply
Of food during tho winter. That Beckwiths
stomach wAs not too fAstidions for this sort OF
diet would seem to be implied BY the remark 81
4 staee-drivcr that !" Mckwith ate ono Of
his horses that died from disease early this
winter"
Some Of the people OF Afford say they have
heard the murderer beast that he had eaten
human tesh IN Australia, and that he could do
il again, II necessary. II il called 70 mind that
an old lady, named Mrs. Whisky Peck, went
herrying on tho mountains in thc vicinity of
ncckwith'a cabin several years ago, and has
never since heen seen. AT tha time Of her dis
aprcaiencc loo men made search for her. Now
lseekwlth's recent crime gives color to sus-
piclon that he Also murdered this woman, aud,
perhaps, ate portions OF her flesh.
When lseckwith was last in Great Darlington,
| few weeks ago, hs inquired Of ono Of
the butchers whether the latter wished 70 pur~
chase soMc pork. When the cabin was reached,
soon after the murder. no pork OF other pro-
visions of any account could b. found, and the

Just FILLING His Pipe.

The brighter hours Of good Bishop
Corbet have been very graphically de-
scrlbed by one who knew him well. His
Lordship's favorite companion was his
chaplain, DR. Lushington. When the
business Of the day was over, the Bishol
delighted to descend with this faithful
henchman into the cellar Of the episco.
pal palace. Corbet would then dof his
hood, saying, "There lies the Doctor !;
he would then divest himself Of hia
gown, adding, "There lies the Bishop.
The glasses were filled and the toast WA
drunk. " Here's to thee, Lushington,
Heres to thee. Corbet."
The celebrated Dean Aldrich was the
slave OF his pipe. There is story ii

which not only amlsingly illustrates

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con-
snlt the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried 10 first class ears on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
,ars tc Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
R,usss, Nebraska, Texas Minnesota,
s,e. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-I s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to the saving of much of both as vel as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having a talk or re-
:ceiVing a letter from one of the B. Il o.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. +.

Democratic State Platform
Adopted July goth 1882.

The Democratic party of Ohio in con-
vention assembled reafirm the great prin
ciples which are the foundation of the
government, among which are equal
rights to oil, special privileges to none
protection Of the weak against the en-
eroachmen.s of the strong. equal taxa
tiou, free speech, free pr ss, free. chools
and first Of all free and unc' rrupted
ballot.
Resol1ed, That we favor an honest re-
form in the civil service and denounce
the ex oriion of morey from Office hold,
els to- corrupt the ballot and control
elections, as most threatening, as it is
the ms. iusidious, dar ger that besets
free government; and the shameless re-
sort to such methods ty the party IN
power TO carry is ends evidences the
utter abandonment OF princip es for place
spoi under "boss rule. We denounce
the reckless extravagance and profligacy
of the Republican party in the appro.
priation of the public tr. asure, which
81 'uld be applied to the extinction Of
the national debt, and we believe the
time has come when, by an honest and
economical administration Of the CIV
crnment. the burden of war taxes which
the people have SO long horne ano which
in the end fal! spon la r,may and ought
to be reduced; but we denounce the a :
tempt of the Republican Congress to re.
duce taxes on those ar icles which will
ipure TO he benefit of the rich.
Resolred, That we favor tariff levied
to meet the actual nee's of the govern
ment, and 50 adjusted in is de ails with
view to equality in the public burdens
as to encourage productive industries
and afford labor jus compensation
without creating mopopolies4
hesolred, That stability in the value
of money is a primary requisite to indus
trial and commercial prosperity. This
can only te secured by maintaining bo:h
gold and silver as money as provided by
the Cons itu ion and subjecting he issue
and regulation of paper money to estab.
ished principles which will prevent fuc-
tua'ions in the value of the currency.
ResolUcd, That the growth of monopo.
lies is such as to seriously threaten the
righ of individuals, and he public well
fare and ought to be provided against by
proper legislation.
Resolced, I hat the Democratic party
has ever maid aimed and still steadfastIy
adheres % the doctrine Of the largest in.
dividual liberty consistent wi b ;he righ
of others and he public welfare, and is
opposed to legislation merely sumptusry.
R,so'ved, That it is the du'y ipcnm-
bent upon our government to protect its
ei'izens, naive torn and ua ua'uralized,
home and abroad, and we demand q.
searching irquirY in'o the alleged out
RACES committed against ci'izebs Of the
Uni ed S'a es in foreign coun ries.
