Pulaski Murderers.
Decatur Special.
A Pinkerton detective passed through De-
catur for Chicago, accompanied by Frank
Hobbs, carpenter, living at Mantle, in this
county. Hobbs is wanted in Chicago to iden-
tify man in custody there who is suspected
to be one of the parties who committed the
triple butchery near Mt. Pulaski last sum-
mer. Hobbs was working on house near
Mantle the day after the murder, when a
seemingly greatly flushed and excited man
came up and inquired the way to Springfield.
He was told, after being scrutinized closely.
The detective called on Hobbs and got
him to describe the man he saw that
morning, and the description Tailed with
the man in custody. Hobbs was then shown
photograph of the prisoner, and he said
"That's the very man saw that morning"
Hobbs informed reporter that he was cer-
tain he could not be mistaken. The Pin ker
ton detectives have frequently visited this
section in search of clews. -'a
1t was rumored that Farris, the man who
was arrested and taken to Lincoln for having
hond in the triple murder is indeed in a
serious situation, for it is said that one of
Farriss sisters has disclosed the whole mat
ter, throwing the whole blame on her
brother, her husband, Hall, and her own
son, 1t is further stated that she received
1000 for making the confession What
truth is contained in these reports is hard
to fathom. The detectives and sheriff s
officers are extremely retcent and guarded
in their statements, but Tippio oi excite

An Interview with the Mother of Patrick
j. lyman.
Extract from Dublin Correspondence.
Mrs Sicily, mother of Number One"
Patrick Joseph lyman, has for many years
been married to a retired member of the
Royal Irish Constabulary bearing that name
She is a small, quiet-looking woman of
almost seventy winters, and resides with her
husband and her daughter by her first mar
riage at No. 1lo Lower George street, Kings
ton. Mrs. Skelly did not appear inclined to
make any communication on the subject of
NO. One" which was manifestly painful, as
one would imagine it should be. For many
minutes she endeayored to change the sub
ject. The poor old woman's eyes filled with
tears when the terrible accusations against
"her boy" were in the most delicate way
touched upon. She was tired of hearing his
name mentioned in connection with the con-
spracy in such way, she said, and did not
wish to touch upon the painful theme. At
ter some little time the following conYersa-
tion took place:
How old is your son?'
HE is now forty-one years of age, having
been born early in the year 1872"
Have you any other children alive?'
HE has several brothers and sisters liv-
ing"
One of the latter, who was present during
the conversation, is a somewhat attractive
looking young woman, in feature not unlike
the brother whose mysterious soubriquet is
now on every lip.
"Give me some account of his early life"
His father died while the boy was mere
child, but l. who value education in high
degree, placed him in a college we'll known,
kept by religious order, in the county of
Dublin. There he was very successful as a
STUDENT and was always remarkable for his

at Lexington, in that State, January 20
1884. He graduated from Harvard in 1856,
was admitted TO the bar at Cambridge and
commenced practice at Chicopee, in 1866.
He was elected to the Massachusetts
House OF Representatives in 1874 and to
the State Senate in 1876; was elected to
the FOrty-ffth, Forty-sixth and Forty

the Forty-eighth. Mr.. Robinson is plain

The south In National Politics.

Richmond State: Mr. Keating, editor
oil the Memphis APPEAL, is leading off in
movement to divide the Presidential
ticket between the North and South by
claiming for the South the Fice-Presi-
dency, and we see the New York Herald
warmly seconds the idea, and fully con-
ours III the Justice and propriety of the
claim; but we are not so sure that the
time has yet arrived for this; in fact, we
are quite convinced that it has not, and
that it would be a bad movement, one
working completely into the hands OF the
enemy, as shown by the avidity with
which that ''bloody-shirt' sheet, the Phila-
delphia Press, seizes upon and approves it.
Never do what your worst enemy wants
you to do, is q good rule, and since the
worst enemy We now have at the North is
so anxious for us to commit this blunder,
why let us not do it. The moment a
Southern candidate should be nominated
that is, on the Democratic ticket-we
would read in the Northern press flaming
headed articles crying, '"The Rebellion to
be Made a Success !" "The Union in Dan
ger" ''The Results of the War Lost !"
The Southern Claims to be Paid |" "Our
Pensioned Soldiers to be Made Beggars!"
etc. And they wsuld 90 on to prove all
this not only possible but probable, by
showing that the Northern President could
easily "be removed" and then the South
ern Democratic Nice-President would take
his place, and with Democratic Congress,
Senate and Cabinet, the South would be
in the ascendency, and all would be lost.
No, not yet. Mr.. keating's motives are
good, and we fully sympathize with hiIh
in his desire for Southern recognition by
the Democracy; but the time has not come
for us to act. When we have the wealth,
the population and the power to enforce
our rights, then will be the time to put
forth our strength, and take with strong
hand what now we could only ask as ia
vor, and which even if granted might
prove utterly valueless.
