NO ESCAPE FOR THE MURDERERs.

LOUISVILLE, June 9.-The court of ap-
peals to-day affirmed the decision of the
court below, refusing to grant new trial
to Craft, one of the Ashland muir
derers, charged with first outraging and
then numbering girl named Gibbons and
afterwards setting fire to the house in
which the bodies of the girl and her COM
rade and brother laid, who were also muir
dered. Ellis, Craft and Neal were arrested,
charged with the crime. Ellis confessed
and was sentenced to state prison for life.
Neal and Craft were sentenced to be
hanged, but while being taken from Cat
letsburg to Lexington for safe keeping a
mob attacked the steamer Granite State
and attempted to rescue the prisoners, fir
ing on the guards, who returned the fire,
killing several persons. Ellis was taken
from jail and hanged and Craft and Neal
secured new trials. The last of February
Craft was tried and found guilty in the
Grayson court and sentenced to death, and
a motion for a new trial was over-ruled
and an appeal was prayed with the result
above named. The governor, under the
law, will fix the day for the execution.
Neal is still in Jail at Lexington and will
be tried next fall, and doubtless found

REMoNsrRANoE FROM DETROIT.


The treasury department to-day received
communication from the collector of
customs at Detroit, demonstrating against
the action of the Canadian steamers in
carrying passengers between American
ports on the northern lakes as prejudicial
to American interests. The department
will take measures to stop the practice
complained of, as far as their power ex-
tends.
GONE HOME.
Postmaster General Gresham left here
tonight for Indianapolis, to be absent
several days.
POSTMASTER GENERALS DECISION.
The postmaster general has decided that
under the recent act of congress, directing
a readjustment of the salaries of certain
postmasters, where it was not done under
section s of the act of June, no post
masters are to be included within the leg
islation unless they failed to receive bien-
NAL readjustment of their claims upon the
basis fixed upon by the act of June IA, i. g.
actual quarterly returns for two years,
where such readjustment would have them
lose 10 per cent. as compared with the re-
adjustment on basis of their average
quarterly returns for two years.

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-05-24

Ina paper recently read before the
Statistical society of London, it
was shown that since 1872,
when the first public health act
was passed. the longevity of
the English people has sensibly in
creased. A table, which has been
carefully prepared, shows that men
live two years longer than they did
thirty years ago, and women three
years and four months longer-an
improvement which, taking forty
years, roughly speaking, as the usual
term of life, amounts to six per cent,
and would leave country of 100000
with 100000 more people in it than
it otherwise would have had.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-05-24

Mr.. GLADSTONE is free to admit
that the British government has
acted unwisely and unfairly toward
Ireland. He says Englishmen have
been in the dark on subjects relating
to Ireland, and that all Irish legisla-
ton and regulation has been improp-
er. The abject poverty of country
so richly endowed by nature, and by
comparison so prosperous in the pc
riod which preceded the union, fur
nishes evidence of English incapacity
to govern Ireland. While the past
has been nothing but blundering, as
Englishmen now admit, nothing but
laundering to the end may be ex-
pected. For go years the English have
shown utter inability to govern Ire
land, and no recent development in
their intellects makes them more fit
now. They have no hearty sympathy
with the good points of the Irish peo-
pie, while at heart they feel nothing
but distrust and dislike for them. Mr..
Gladstone's measures are inspired by
the most generous and magnanimous
instincts towards Ireland which ever
have animated any English minister,
but more than magnanimity is needed
to solve such problem; and Mr..
Gladstone has not solved it. He has
only transformed the Irish difficulty
from one shape to another, without
taking anything from its magnitude.

AFTER investing money for many
years in American railway securities
and mines, English capitalists have at
last turned, their attention to Ameri-
can lands, and they have already in
vested many millions in western soil.
A member of the British parliament,
who has just come over the Atlantic,
says that American land is the princi-
pal thing talked about on the London
stock exchange. Twenty ranch conf
panies have been organized, one hay
ing a capital of $5,OO0,OOO These
shrewd Englishmen know that how
ever the value of mining or railroad
property may fluctuate, if they once
acquire a title to the soil, they have
something which cannot slip from
their grasp or have it's value destroyed
by mismanagement. Permanence
is the character of these in
vestments; but while they are
good purchases for English capital
lists, the acquisitions of large tracts OF
land by foreign syndicates is not an
equally good thing for this country.
When the settlements reach these
immense cattle ranches, the owners
will not be found to disposed TO divide
up their domains and sell them out in
small parcels.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-05-24

A story is going the rounds of the
press about the recent discovery il
the treasury department of some ole
records showing that George Wash
ington and other revolutionary he.
roes were short in their accounts
many Thousand dollars. AS the story
has it, for years past it has been sup.
posed that the Oldest records of the
pay department in existence were
dated 1892. Recently the pay records
of the continental establishment from
1884 to 1892 were found
in dust-covered files under the
roof of the treasury building,
and these records show balance
due the government by Washing
ton of $161 $3.50, besides large short
age in his specie account. There is
probably not a bit of truth in this
story. There has been so much pee
ilation in office for over twenty
years, and the people are so down on
it that an effort must be made to pop
ularize it. OF course if the father of
his country got away with 100000 in
taking care of a few regiments of sol
diers, the big steals of this grand day
time would sink into insignifcance
and be small account.
