In railway arguments for long
hauls at lower rates than short it is
frequently stated by company repre-
sentatives that through freight can
be carried cheaper than local and is
more desirable. For instance, one
hundred pounds can be carried from
st. Louis via Baltimore to Philadel-
phia cheaper than TO Baltimore, and
Of course it is just like railroad COM
pany to want to do the most work for
the least money. Buff goods can be
carried to Philadelphia cheaper than
to Baltimore, the charge to New
York will be still cheaper, and to Bos-
ton still CHEAPER, and 80 on. Now,
what we want to know is-how far
beyond Boston they will carry goods
until the charge gets down to moth
ing?

that it has standing dividend CT 7
per cent. to declare. This is a law
unto itself, but immutable for all that.
Water has had the same effect upon
its stock that it has upon dried apples,
and the company must have a large
profit upon very wet investment
An expenditure of not over forty
millions has swollen to a capital

realize the required profit upon this
amount the people must pay all they
can stand and the operators are re-

LAREDO, Tex, October 5.-A gentle
man just from Lampasas, Mexico, gives
the full particulars of most horrible
tragedy that occurred Wednesday near
that place. Mrs. Valdez killed her five
children and then herself during a fit of
insanity. In one of the large ranches
about twenty miles to the southwark of
Lampasas there lived for four years
past quiet, well-to.do Mexican
named Antonio Valdez, whose fam
lily consisted of a wife and five
children, the age of the eldest child
being lO years, and OF the youngest 2
years. The wife, who was about 80
years OF age, had been subject to epilep-
tic hts and spells of melancholy of long
duration. During the last few months
she has exhibited many evidences of in
sanity, and when in such mental aberra,
ton invariably sought to do violence to
her little ones. Wednesday the woman
was attacked with fit of unusual sever
ity. When she had recovered from her
spasm her husband went out to
herd flock of sheep belonging to the
ranch. He had been gone but a short
time when his wife rose from her couch,
and with huge butcher knife which
had been carelessly left within her reach
commenced her terrible work of destruc-
ton. Her eldest child, sweet girl of
10, was the first to fall victim to her
maniac mothers cruel blows, her head
being almost served from her body.
With that method peculiar to in
sane persons she in quick succession
| slew the other children, hacking and
stabbing them In a sickening manner.
The frantic woman, after five bleeding
little corpses lay at her feet, viewed
them with grim satisfaction, filling the
air with wild and weird exclamations,
Suddenly, taking a parting look at the
dead before her, she plunged the knife
lrto her own breast, reeled to a cor
ner in the room, and fell
dead. During all the time this
fearful tragedy was being enacted a
servlng-woman, peon, was powerless
to prevent it from abiect fear. The
husband was soon apprised of what had
happened, and his lamentations were
pitiable in the extreme and he could not
be consoled. In due time neighbors
came, and speedy arrangen ents were
made to bury the dead. Six graves
were dug, and the next morning the
funeral rites were performed.

Tuesday morning Elder j. K. p.

warded to him day or two after it was
written, but never reached him. After
the war, by some means, it came into
the possession of Rev. DR.. e. G. Guer-
rant, of Mt. Sterling, who placed it in
a box, which he terms his Confederate
box" together with lot of other me-
mentos of his comrades of the "Lost
Cause" where it was found a few days
since by NJ. Sterling Sentinel, who, at
the request of DIR. Guerrant, forwarded
It to Mr.. South. The fair writer, who
was then the sweetheart OF Mr.. South,
has long since married and removed to
Louisville, while Elder South is the IA
ther of family and resides in this coun-
ty. We met him as he came out of the
post-office with the letter in his hand,
and after breaking the seal and seeing
the signature, he said he expected it
contained some rare news, and when he
had read it he would send it to the lady
as a reminder of their former friendship.
