that there was 10 person livins who knew her age.
She was born in Ulster County, N. V, near Kings
ton. Kingston was burned by order OF Sir Henry
Clinton in 1717. She saw KINGSTON many times
when il was blackened ruin and before any at
tempt was made to rebuild it. She distinctly re-
membered the dark days of 17S0, when candles
were kept burning throughout the day and every
one was more or less terrified. She was q full
grown woman when the Ulster Gazette came out
in mourning for the death of Washington. This

continued in harness until short time ago, lee
turing occasionally and maintaining cheerful
disposition. She delighted to babhle of her ex-
periences, talking frequently OF Horace Greedy,
whose name she always mentioned with reyeren-

life was when she was presented To President
Lincoln at Washington and was congratulated on
her work. She owned a comfortable home at Bat

and when Mr.. Charles A. Dana says the
Democratic majority was not elected to revise
or tinker with the tariff, ne does the sub
ject great injustice and himself no credit.
It is gratifying to know that the election Of
Mr.. Carlisle is indicative of purpose on the
part of the Democratic majority to reduce
taxation, and that means economy in ex-
penditures. Appropriations will be in keep
ing with receipts. and economy will be not
only virtue. but necessity. 1t is supreme
folly to talk about economical appropria-
tions when unjust taxation is creating wide
spread complaint. To extort money from
the people unnecessarily is the supreme in
EQUITY. The present tariff does that very
thing, and the surplus thus created is the
foundation for a thousand corruptions that
blacken the record of the Republican party

Tariff Commission and the Finance
Committee had been carefully framed so as
not to reduce the burdens OF the people,
but put as much money as possible into
the pockets Of the favored classes. The
Commission bill, however, embodied a
few reductions, and therefore the
Senator from Ohio. (Mr. Sherman, J
preferred the report Of the commission. 1t
was well that the people should know the
real position of the distinguished trader
on the other side as the champion Of high
protective tariff.
Mr., Maxey believed the bill was design.
ed, not to reduced taxation or prices, but to
I'LL the pockets OF protected man nufacturers
at the expense of the people.
Mr.. Brown said he was utterly opposed
to levying q dollar of taxes upon
the people for protection alone and was in
favor OF raising the revenue required for
the support of the Government by duties
upon imported articles as soon as it
could be done. He was earnestly opposed
to the internal revenue system. 1t had been
adopted as war measure with the intention
OF fastening 1T permanently upon the
country, and IL ought to be abolished. The
time had come when new industries of the
South should have q large share of the
benefits ofprotection afforded by the tariff.
As to the proposed duty on iron ore, it
ought to be doubled, instead of being re-.
duced. After further discussion the Sen
ate had an executive session, and soon after

WASHINGTON, January 2S-It is now
rYetty certain that Illinois will furnish at
least two Presidential candidates. General
1ogau's purpose in keeping out of the
Senatorial contest in that State was to
avoid complications which would lessen
Lis support in the Presidential race. He
did not favor CullOm, and could have pre-
vented his election to the Senate, but not
wishing to incur the enmity of Cullom's
friends and probably thinking that Sem
atorial seat was all he wanted, he kept out
of the contest.
The election of Cullom, however, will
only increase his ambition and further his
prospects toward the Presidency, and he
will therefore become a rival OF General
Logan in 1854.
West Virginia is about the only Northern
State east of the Mississippi that has not
a probable candidate for the Presidency,
hut there is time enough yet.
Windows defeat may have lesSened his
prospects, but not his ambit tiOn, and he will
certainly be in the field.

MOST HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Mother Murders and Mutilates Her
Three Children.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, January pa terri
bleicrime was discovered at noon to-day.
The wife of John Zimbrick, a laborer, iv.
ing on Sixth street. killed her three chill
dren, the oldest seven years, the youngest
eighteen months, in the most brutal man
ner, literally cutting them to pieces and
completely disemboweling them. The
neighbors' attention was attracted to the
scene by the woman's attempt to hang her
self in an clubhouse. They cut her down
and took her inside, when the horrible
spectacle was discovered. Mrs Zimbrick
was at once arrested. She took her arrest
very calmly, stating that she had read to
sacrifice children in the good book. The
woman doubtless is suffering from religious
insanity.
! The little bodies were nude and cut up
in terrible manner. The Oldest girl was
cut all over the body. The arms OF the
second oldest were cut OFF near the shoul-
ders, and the lower extremities hung to
the body by thin threads of flesh, and the
body was completely disemboweled. The
baby was cut into six pieces, the head aHd
extremities being completely severed from
the trunk

Quest over the Newhall House disaster c IN
tains the following points: When he went
to bed on the night of the fire there were
about forty guests in the house. Two pages
Of the register were filled. He retired about
1890. Had in the house probably fifty or
over female employees. They slept on the
fifth floor. On the west side, on the alley
way, was a door across the servants
hallway at the south end, which was kept
locked until the elevator fire of March 4,
1874. The door was thin and could have
been pushed down by any girl. Most OF
the male help slept lat home. Nightwatch-
man McKenzies duties were TO make his
rounds in the halls and see that every
thing was right. He was supposed to so
through the House
Every Hour. or Onener.
When the late trains came in he took
care of baggage, and occasi sionally took the
men up on the elevator. He was night
porter and bootblack, but while occupied
at the latter Clerk Delaney made the
rounds as watchman. He carried no stop
watch; there never was an alarm bell on
the premises. There was no fuel in the
room near the elevator. Rubbish was dis
covered in the room back OF the elevator
and had been removed and the door
locked. The elevator was enclosed
in pine lumber and had not shrunk.
There was no grease at the bottom OF the
elevator. The open court was not used for
storage. A person coming in on Broadway
could 90 down into the basement at any
time. There was not particle of fire in
the basement, except in the engine rosm.
There was fire plug in the latter room,
and the hotel was heated by steam from
the engine boiler.

could not have produced such a fire
unaided The occupants OF the fifth
floor were nearly all lost, because the hot
air and smoke poured up as if shot out OF a
gun and they were strangled. He could
not tell whether the occupants on this
floor lived until the floor burned under
them or not, as two Of the girls were taken
out in helpless condition. He could not
tell how many girls had been saved. as the
heads of different departments hired their
own help.
