''The Burk- Madison Murder Again. -

murder
LIVE OAK, FLA, July 26.-Some days
ago a communication from Jasper, Fla,
published in the MORNING NEWS, ear
nestly complaining against the language
and terms used by your correspondent
(the present writer at this place in the
account given of the tragedy heading this
article. And as it appears the friends of
Mr.. Burk have miscOnstrued the inten-
tions of the writer, it is but justice to
them and the writer to give an eXplana-
tion. which would have appeared sooner
had his health permitted. The news Of
the sad occurrence did not come in until
late in the evening, and it was necessary
to write up the matter, after obtaining the
particulars, very hastily before the mails
closed. The writer endeavored to give
the statements made as near as he could
by his informants who had come from the
scene of action, not making them his own,
as he had no personal knowledge of the
matter. But having always acted the part
of a friend to Mr.. Burk in the past
he would be the last man to make him
appear guilty whether he is or not, or to
have any wish to prejudice the public
mind against him. But having engaged
to report the important events in our
county to the MORNING NEWS, he felt
bound to give the most reliable informa-
tion he could procure of this sad tragedy.
The reference to the father of Mr.. Burk
was inadvertently made merely for the
purpose of identity, without a thought of
giving pain to any one, and he is truly
sorry that any expression, unnecessarily
made in the report of the case, should
have wounded the feelings of any of the
family or friends. 1t was foreign from
his intentions to give unnecessary pain
to the innocent, and, therefore, he could
have no motive in doing so in this case,
and much less could he be induced to add
one single pang to the heart Of sorrow
ing mother.

GERMAN KEEPERS of carrier pigeons

from birds of prey. They fasten to the
tail feathers a compact system of reeds,
eight or ten in number, not weighing over
a grain or two, which in the passage of
the pigeon through the air, emits a whist

AN Assessor Caught ln LIE Own Trap

boston GL0bS.
A good story is told at the expense OF
the Assessors in a town of Norfolk conn.
ty. A few years since, when the tax bills
came out, a farmer went before the local
board and asked for an abatement ON the
tax of wood lot. His request was re-
fused; 50 he went quietly to work and
cut the wood from the lot, and said moth.
ing. The next year the Assessors did not
think it necessary to view the woodlot.
as some of the board had inspected il the
year before, and so marked the valuation
the same. Again the owner appeared
and asked for a reduction of tax, saying
it was too much.
"Win you sell the lot at the valuation %
asked one of the Assessors, The crafty
farmer hesitated moment and then, pre-.
tending that he saw the drift of the ques-
tion, said he would.
Il will take il" said the Assessor.
The famer hung fire for a while, but
finally said he could have it.
In due time the papers were passed,
and when the new owner visited his pos
session and found acres Of sprout land
where he expected cords Of heavy WOOD,
his wrath can be imagined,

IN OHIO.

A stalwart contemporary, phenome-
nally gifted in the imaginative faculty.
able to see the invisible and hear the un-
uttered. has great news from Ohio. 1t
says:
A Democratic Congressman from
Northern Ohio, in conversation with a
Washington friend the other day, con
fessed that the prospects for Democratic
success in that State were far from
bright. II never saw a change come
over the political sentiment OF the peo-
pie so suddenly in my life," he says.
IA month ago the Democrats had a sure
thing. Now they are demoralized, and
l am afraid we are gone"
If any Ohio Democrat made that state
ment he was perpetrating . joke, in or
der to test the credulity Of his auditor.
The Democrats do not regard Ohio as q
reliable Democratic State, but the
chances are at this time decidedly good
for the election Of the Democratic ticket
this year. And if the State goes Demo-
cratic this year it win, in all probability,
60 the same way in 1884. Although the
Democratic party will not need the elec-
toral vote of Ohio, it will try hard to
secure it. And, inasmuch as the loss Of
Ohio would be fatal to the last ray Of
hope in the Republican mind, that party
will make : desperate effort in this cam.
paign to swing the State back to its old
Republican moorings.
