Romantic Capture of a MurCJes en-.

Milwaukee Special 7th.
The trial of Marvin M. Fenner. for the
murder of John L. Hessler, began to-day
before Judge Bennett. The motion for a
change of venue, on account of the feel
ing against the accused, was denied and
for good reasons. When Sheriff Mccain
ley went to Adams county to subpoena wit
nesses, he was given to understand that if
the trial was postponed or change of
venue granted determined men stood ready
to lynch Fenner.
There is romantic chapter in the case.
After Fenner is alleged to have committed
the crime, he returned to Auburndale,
where he was visited by his betrothed, who
keeps the village school at Westfeld. She
had heard stories of his connection with
old farmer Hessler's death; she did not be-
lieve them, but wanted to hear a denial
from her lovers lips. When she saw him
he gave evasive answers, which convinced
her that all was not right. She returned
home, and Fenner, to make his peace, fol-
lowed hsr thither; but his opportunity had
passed. When he called at her home she
engaged him in conversation, and, by her
woman's arts, she held him until her un-
Gle secured the Sheriff, and the lover was
placed under arrest.
The murder was committed last January.
Hessler, well-to-do farmer of Westfeld,
Adams county, had for sale span of
mules, which he agreed to sell to Fenner
Tor James Brown, as the purchaser gave
his name) for $4O0. Hessler left to deliv-
er them at Junction City, where the pur.
chaser claimed to have logging camp.
Hessler was never seen alive after that.
Fenner soon after sold the mules. Hessler
not returning home, suspicion of foul play
was excited, and men secured the woods
from January till April. Last month Hes
sler's remains were found. There was
bullet-hole in his head, and his skull was
crushed. Fenner was at once thought to
be the murderer, and he was captured as
already narrated. About the time of Fen
ner's arrest letter appeared in a Miwau-
kee paper claiming to have been written
by the guilty party, and that Fenner was
innocent of the crime. The original copy
was obtained and compared with the hand
writing of Fenner, and was similar to it.
Fenner has attempted to break Jail three
times.

COnEtjng'S "PUt Back"
New York Trihuna

81 believe said Conkling in his Saturday
night club speech) and I say it with all
confidence, that the result of that conven-
tion (the National Republican Convention
of 1SS0) put the country back ten years.
1t would be difficult to match the absurdity
of this expression without having recourse
to the padded cell of lunatic asylum.
Several things were indeed "put back" as
the result of the Chicago Convention, but
the country was not one of them.
The third-term conspiracy was put back.
The unit rule was put back.
The boss system was put back.
The snap primary plan of turning out
''instructed'' was put back.
The attempt to throttle district Iegisla-
tion was put back.
The machine in New York and Pennsyl-
vania was put back.
The idea entertained by sundry gentle
men that they carried the party around in
their collective breeches pockets was put
back.
The impression that was rapidly making
headway that government of the people
by the people" was played out was put
back.
These are some of the leading things
that were put back as result of that great
convention. And by so omuch as they were
put back, and have been kept where they
were put, the country has advanced
politically since the day when the beloved
and admired Garfield was nominated
The retired functionary might much bet
ter have remained silent. His speech has
aroused memories which he can i'll afford
to have aroused, for it may with great pro-
priety be said of the concluding chapters
of his political career, in the language of
Junius, that they escape contempt only as
they escape observation.

Gold in E01iDt.
From a Letter to the London Times

From Letter to the London Times.
For many years past it has been known
that large sums of gold are lying hid in
Egypt. 1t is calculated that about
e4O,O0O,OO0 in bullion has from time to
time been imported into the country.
About e6,00O,O0O of this is in circulation
and it has recently transpired that during
the Vice royalty of Ismail Pasha, another
e6,OO0O00 was secretly transported to Con-
stantinople. This leaves e2S, 100000 un-
accounted for, and this sum must either
have been absorbed in the gold ornaments
of the country or must be hidden away.
Should good government bring peace and
security to Egypt, this or considerable
portion of this sum will return into circu-
lation and assist in the development of the
country.

It is related that lady at Parkville,
Conn, when one of her children was taken
with the prevalent fever which tends to
blend with diphtheria, and has proved so IA
tai, resolved to adopt preventive measures
to save at least the other children. She
hung up sheets in the sickroom that were
thoroughly wet with carbolic spray; and
pretty much everything else in that and
adjoining rooms was similarly treated. As
fast as the wetted articles became dry the
carbolic acid was renewed. The result was
that the sick child rapidly recovered, and
neither of the others was taken sick.

THoMss JEFFERSON had what in these
ideas of official life, responsibility and
personal thrift. 1t is pity such old-fash-
ioned ideas could not have survived to the
present time. 1t was an idea of Thomas
Jefferson, that it was not right to gain
riches by official emoluments, or by the
opportunities Official station afforded.
How many of the millionaires of the pres
ent day, who have grown rich in official
life, have acted on these honest Jeffersonian
principles? In recent memoir of Mr..
Jefferson prepared by John T. Marsh, Jr.,
speaking of his income from his profes-
sion and his farm Mr.. Marsh says: "The
evidence is abundant that he was thrifty,
industrious and successful. He seemed
like one destined to accumulate wealth.
but he never had a fair opportunity to
show his capacity in this direction, since
he maintained a resolve not to better his
fortunes while in public lifer' How many
of our office-seekers of the present day are
influenced by passion for money-getting,
rather than by patriotism in striving
for public position? The passion for
Office from personal, rather than pa
triotic motives accounts for there being at
the present time so many public plumber
ers in public life-men who have become
millionaires on salaries barely sufficient to
pay board bills. Such was not the quality
of patriotism and the motive of Office
holding in the time of Jefferson.

BUoKBoARD Murray, is the not very sa-
worry appellation now applied to the Rev.
w. H. H. Murray, of whilom honorable
Adirondack fame, acquired by his bril-
liant description of the wonderful Adiron-
dack Falls. Something over fourteen
years ago he began his career as the attrac-
tive preacher in Park street church, Bos-
ton. He quarreled with his deacons, and
set up religious services on his own &C
count in Music Hall where, for about two
years he drew large audiences. Then he
became secularized. He dealt largely in
horses, and went into the manufacture of
wagons, and invented Blackboard" wag-
on. He failed in business, drifted away to
Europe, from thence to Texas, where by
his persuasive power in borrowing money,
he was enabled again to go into business
and again failed. Last month his credi-
tors in San Antonio got together to talk
over his financial affairs, and sent for him,
and he promised to meet them at time
set, instead of which, he departed to parts
unknown, leaving behind him debts to an
amount of $4,000. Soon after, he was
reported to be in New Orleans, accompanied
by his pretty stenographei, the com pauion
of his fortunes and his fight, whom her
father could not persuade to leave the Sc
ductive preacher and speculator, when he
left New England on his travels. The last
heard of him he was in the city of New
York, alleged to be preparing history of
himself or something else, which he is re-
ported to be going to Europe, to put in
press. Murray seems to be one of the nu-
merous piayed-out-divines of the Nine
teenth century. Kallock, the once famous
Baptist divine of Boston, was Murray's
more immediate predecessor in taking

WHO are plagerists? The most distin-
cused of adopting and adapting to their
own purposes, the productions of those
who have gone before them to an amazing
extent, and are declared to be less original
in their writings than the applauding pub
lie have supposed. Chataubriand aver
red that the productions even of genius
were composed only of recollections-ea each
quotation without the conventional marks.
''Read Tasso," says Emerson, and you
think of Virgil; read Virgil and you think
of Homer; Swedenborg and Spinoza will
appear original to uninstructed and to
thoughtless persons; their originality will
disappear to such as are either well-read
or thoughtful" 1t is SAID of 6,O43 lines in

Shakespeare. His julius Caesar, organiza-
ton excepted, is in Plutarch's lives. Mon

out acknowledgment, and what he has
copied thus others have in like manner
adopted from him. Voltaire and Rousseau
present parallel cases, each reproaching,
each reproached. Milton was debtor to an
incalcueable extent "a wholesale plagerist,"

adapter ofideas and phraseology; and it is
alleged of Byron, that he copied plans and
to large extent the language of his poems
declaring all pretensions of originality to
be ridiculous. Even the brilliant Mac
auley absorbed gems of illustration from
Hall; and even the much vaunted Carlyle
transplants from Macauley, and the Ger
man. Mozart pillaged from Handel, and

WASHINGTON IRVING was born in the city
of New York, April Sd, 1888. The centen-
ary anniversary was duly commemorated
by few friends in Tarrytown. Among the
literary notabilities present wers Charles
Dudley Warner, Donald G. Mitchell, "Gail
Hamilton" and others. Letters were read
from Mr. Whittier and others. One letter
urged the erecting of q statue to Mr.. Irv-
ing in Central Park. The New York Crit
ic published a "Centenary Number" on
the occasion. Charles Lanman is about to
publish a work entitled 'Haphazzard
Personalities" It will contain an inter
esting chapter of "reminiscences of Irving
from which the following paragraph is
taken: "When questioned as to his man
ner of writing Mr. Irving gave me the fol-
lowing particulars: He usually wrote with
great rapidity. Some of the most popular
passages in his books we're written with
the utmost ease, and the more uninterest-
ing ones were those which had cost him
the most trouble. At one time he had to
labor very hard to bring up one part of
an essay to the level of another. He never
allowed a thing to go to the press, however,
without writing it or overlooking it a sec
ond time; he was always careful about
that. Several of the papers in the Sketch
Book were written before breakfast; one he
remembered especially-"The Wife," At
one time, when in England, Thomas Moore
called upon him when deeply engaged in
writing story, and, as the poet saw page
after page of Mr.. Irving's manuscript
thrown aside, he stepped quietly into the
room and did not speak word until the
task was ended, when he said he thorght
it pity to disturb man under such cir
cumstances. The first things he ever
printed were school compositions.

The Specter Of the TOyabe.

Robert A. MARI, a member of the
Government Geological Survey, in a
recent letter gives an interesting 40
count of an atmospheric phenomenon
which he lately witnessed in the Toy
abe Range southwest of Montana. Mr..
Mari says: Suddenly, as stood
looking over the vast expanse beneath,
I saw myself confronted by monster
figure of man standing in mid-air be-
fore me upon the top of clearly-de-
fined mountain peak. which had but the
thin air of the valley below for rest
ing-place. The figure was only short
distance from me. Around it two cir
Giles of rainbow light and color, the
outer one family defined as compared
with the inner one, which was bright
and clear and distinctly irridescent.
Around the head of the figure was a
beautiful halo of light, and from the
figure itself shot rays of colors normal
to the body. The sight startled mo
more than l can now tell. / threw up
my hands in establishment and perhaps
some little fear, and at this moment the
specter seemed to move toward me. In
few minutes got over my fright, and
then, after the figure had faded away,
recognized the fact that / had enjoyed
one of the most wonderful phenomena
of Nature. Since then l have seen it
once or twice from JEFF Davis Peak, but
1t never created such an impression
upon me as it did that evening when l
was doing service as a heliotroper all
