BROOKVlLLE'S HORROR
The Long Island Tragedy Still
AbsOrbs Public Attention.
A Sudden Restoration to Sight---Mr.
Maybee's WOuHds Cure His
Blindness.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The excitment
at BrOOkVille, L. l., over the murder of
Mrs. Lydia Maybee and her daughter An
ME, on Saturday night, continues. Ed
ward Nj. Griffin watched with Mr.. May
bee all night. The wounded man slept
fairly well. He aWOke when it was
broad daylight. As he turned in his bed
toward the door, he said in wonder:
ed. L can see that door; 1 can see the
lock, and 1 can see the light" Then
holding up his hands, said, 81 can see
my hands; the sight is dim, but yet
see." When the doctor arrived, Mr.. May
bee was in his usual seat by the win
dow in the sitting room. He then said
he could see the white fence by the road,
and could see any one standing before
him, but not distinctly enough to recOg-
nize the features. Mr.. Maybee has been
unable to see anything or distinguish
the light for year. There was COM
plete paralysis of the optic nerve. DR..
Whitney accounts for the partial recOv-
cry of sight by saying that the force of
the blows, the bleeding and the mental
shock acted on the optic nerve much as
an electric shock might, restoring its
sensibility. Mr.. Maybee will probably
further regain the use of his eyes.
Soon after IL o'clock the coroner and
his jury filed into the dining room to
begin The inquest. Old MIR. MayDee was
wheeled in chair through the folding
doors, to place at the table. In a quiet
way Mr.. Maybee told of his wife and
daughter leaving the house to go to the
barn, of the subsequent entry of the
tramp, of the terrible blow the tramp
gave him, of his cries for help, of the
entry, after what seemed an age to him,
of his friends and neighbOTs, and how
he hurried them off to the barn. after

All of our readers who are interested
in farm matters of any kind are asked
to read in another column the announce
ment of the leading American country
journal, the Rural New-YOrker. 1t is
the first to have established an expert
ment farm; the first to originate and
distribute rare and new kinds of seeds
and plants free among its subscribers.
1t has probably done more to create the
present interest in experiment stations
and an improved agriculture than all
the rest put together. 1t is original
from beginning to end. 1t presents over
500 original illustrations yearly of cat
tie, fruits, grains, house plants, ETC.,
and combines in practice the true inter-
estS of the farm, garden, and household
with the editorial labor of rural jour
nal. Its present free seed distribution
comprises eight kinds of seeds, most of
which are not offered for sale. These,
according to the prices which seedsmen
charge for novelties, are worth more
than the yearly subscription price of the
paper. 1t is a weekly of sixteen pages,
printed on fine paper. 1t has over 600
contributors, among them the most dis
tinguished agricultural writers of
America, Canada and England. cur
readers can lose nothing by sending for
free specimens to the Rural New-Yorker,
"a Park Row, New York. They will be
cheerfully and promptly forwarded.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-It is reported that
the forces of the False Prophet surround

accounts from Jeddah state that the
Egyptian sOldiere fled before the enemy,

Terrible Deed of Band of Colorado Rob

Terrible Deed ofa Band of Colorado Rob
bers.
DENVER, COL, November 19.-One of
the most brutal rObberies that ever Oc-
Cured in Colorado was enacted at
PetersbuTgh Grove, seven miles from
this city, Wednesday night. In that
place resides an old batchelOr, Peter
Olsen, who usually kept small sum of
money hid about the premises. Last
Wednesday four disguised men went to
the house and knocked, as is customary
in the country. The farmer asked the
visitors to come in, and as soon as all
were inside the door, they seized Olsen,
threw him on the floor and held him,
and them demanded to know where his
money was. He replied that he had
none. After thoroughly searching the
house to no purpose, Olsen still refusing
to tell where the money was hid, the
robbers got willow switches and whip
ped his bare feet and legs until tney
were covered with blood. The old man
still refusing, they built large fire in
the back yard, carrying Olsen out and
proceeded to execute a threat TO roast
him alive. Placing his feet in the fire
they literally roasted them. Even this
terrible treatment would not open his
mouth.
The old man was then compelled to
walk back to the house, where a scufile
ensued, during which the stove was
overturned, disclosing the money box
containing $500, which the robbers took
and deeamped. There is no clew to the
miscreants. Olsen will probably re-

FOWLER, IND, Nov. 19.-About 10:3O
o'clock last night man on horseback
slyly rode to the Jail from the southeast.
After riding around the Court house he
turned back and rode rapidly in the di-
rectiOn he came. In about an hour after
$50 masked men reached town. hitched
their horses, placed guards to warn
away citizens, went to the east door of
the Jail, where they soon found an en-
trance by breaking down the doors with
a sledge hammer. They then quietly,
but with great determination, proceed
ed to break the iron door leading to the
corridors. This took some time, in all
perhaps half an hour. The doors, how
ever, gave way under the skill and labor
of the avengers. The old man met them
at the door of the cell, ready dressed to
go to his doom. He was quickly sent to
a carriage, in which was the rope. The
only remark he made was, go little
slow: L am older than some of you" He
was taken to Oxford, and hanged i'm
mediately.

Tho French Wine Crop.

1t would seem that the political uneasi-
ness in France is due not little to cause
which are far beyond the remedial power
OF legislation. The period from 1878 TO
1882, inclusive, has been filled up with a
succession of Of bad seasons to the wine
producers Of that country, and any mis-
haps which occur to this great interest are
keenly felt in all branches of business. Ac-
cording TO the Bulletin dc Stats.
tique, the production of wine in
France for the nine years beginning
with 1860 averaged 100000 OF
hectolltres; during the next eight years the
average rose to "a, 0O0, 900 of hectolitres; but
since 1877, the average has been only 30
600 OF hectalitres. In other words, there
has been reduction in quantity of more
than 40 per cent, while the quality OF the
wine produced is not to be compared with
the output OF the more favorable years.
There are in France about $4,000 acres of
land devoted to the raising of grapes, and II
would be safe calculation TO say that
100000 OF people are directly or indirectly
interested in the success of the
crop, for the land is owned invery small
sections. 1t will thus be seen that the de-
struction occasioned partly by bad weather
and partly by the phylloxera has fallen on
vast multitude who can i'll afford to lose
large part OF their yearly incomes. The
distress has naturally reacted upon the
government, for in France, more than else
where, there is a disposition to credit the
government with benefits and reverses
which come from causes over which it can
have no control. At the present time the
French are importing for their own use
more wine than they export, though it
should be said that ordinarily all but ABOUT

is consumed in that country. Boston Her.
