Killed in Their Sisep-Four Persons Found Murdered in Their Bed.
 JACKSON, Nov. PA terrible tragedy was committed at some time during the night seven miles south of this city. Jacob Crouch, his daughter Mary White, her hus- band Henry and visitor named Moses Henley from Transfer, Mercer county, Pa, were all found dead in their beds this morn ing, all having been shot. Crouch showed signs of having made a struggle, but the others had evidently been killed while asleep. Crouch was seventy years old and ownsd house had been ransacked.
 Henry D. White, Crouch's son-in-law, was an elder brother of George J. White, of this city. Moses Henley, the murdered Pennsyl- vanian, came here yesterday to buy stock. Jacob Crouch was shot in the left side of the head behind the ear, the ball passing into the brain. White was shot twice, one bullet pen etrating the artery on the right side of the neck, the other ball entering the upper tenn pie near the right eye and passing into the brain. Mrs. White, who was in the last stage of pregnancy, was shot three times and evidently made desperate struggle for life. She was shot twice in the right arm, once in the breast, once in the lungs and through the lower jaw. Henley was shot twice, once in the right ear and the oth- CT ball going through the chest. Many theo- ries are advanced. It is thought by some that Henley was followed to Crouch g and that the crime was committed for the money he was known to possess. It is believed one person stood guard while his confederate did the work within. Dr. W. A. Gibson believed one person did the killing aS empty cartridge shells were found on the floor showing that the weapon had been reloaded. All the balls are of one size and probably were fired from one revolver. The shots were discharged sufficiently near to burn the faces of the victims with powder. Julia Reese, domestic, slept through the whole affair in room only twenty-five feet dis tant. A colored servant, George Bolles. who slept upstairs, tells contradictory stories of his experience. He first declared that he knew nothing of the murder until this morn ing. Later he confessed hearing the shoot ing and said he became so terrified that he concealed himself in chest until daylight. The chest is, however, too small for him to get into. The boys contradictory stories are probably the result of fright and a confused state of mind. Mrs. Reese and Bolles are confined to the exclusion of interviswers. It ig stated by responsible parties that Jacob Crouch received few days ago about $56, ,OOO from his son Byron Crouch, wealthy herder in Texas being 8 dead sons interest in a rancho. As the bank CTS say no deposit has been made by Couch for some time it is supposed he had the money in his house. He was the richest farmer in Jackson county, his wealth being estimated at from one million to two mill lions He leaves two sons and one daughter, Mrs. D. Holcomb. No clue to the perpetra- tors hes been found. The authorities, how ever are hard at work. The inquest will be- gin tomorrow morning.

 Reform in ths TarfR-A Great Mass
 Meeting Under Free Trade Auspices.
 NEW YORK, Nov. PA mass meeting in favor of immediate reform in the tariff was held this evening under the auspices of the New York Free Trade club at Cooper Union The attendance was large, the hall being packed to overfowing, many prominent citi- zens occupying seats upon the stage. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher presided and in the course of his remarks said that he was in favor of reform in the tariff. Only half a million out of fifteen million of workingmen were benefited by the protective tariff. He was in favor of no distinction being made between the poor and rich, but if any favor was to be shown it should be on the side of the workingman. Hon. David A. Wells, of Connecticut, on being introduced was re, ceived with great applause. He said that America had little or no market for manufac- tured goods but it's own domestic market and if there was to be no extension of products be- yond what our domestic market required wages would certainly continue to be reduc- ed. In speaking of the industrial condition of the South Mir. Wells said that manufac- lures were springing up everywhere and the time had now arrived when the South was not afraid of eastern competition. But not so with New England, they were getting to be afraid of southern competition.
 MT. Beecher next introduced Henry Wat terson of Kentucky, who was received with great cheering. MT. Beecher in presenting the distinguished gentleman to the audience said: All Democrats should be free traders, and if they stood up to their convictions next year they would be successful in electing the next President, for 1t was evident a current had besn started that could not be stopped. Ice could not freeze it, nor heat dig it up. These remarks were received with long continued applause. MT. Wattersen, assuming 8 dramatic attitude, said he had come to remind the East that there was West and a South. He had also e message, hs said. which was-stand from between us and the sun. The protectionists he continued were making the same mis- take that the slave owners made and it was question whether any party would put the tariff question in the hands of statesmen or leave it to be determined by mob. He was Democrat, and if the Democratic party did not stand by revenue reform it was no longer any party for him. Resolutions were adopted calling upon the next Congress for prompt and decisive action for the revision of the present system of national taxation,
