 Made in q Oiaaecting Room.

Made in Q Dissecting Room.
 CRo1NNAT1, Feb. 21.-Bsverly Taylor, an aged colored man, his wife and grand daughter lived in little cabin in Avondale which WAS burned Friday night There was some mystery connected with the burning of the cabin at the time. Owing to the fact that there were no human bones found in the ruins, 1t was supposed that they had left for parts unknown: The mystery was solved tonight and the bodies of the three colored people were found in the dissecting room of the Ohio medical college in this city. Dr. Cilley this evening sent word to the marshal of Avendals asking him to come and look at the bodies He did so and identified them. Their skulls were crushed in which proved clearly that they were murderers. Four coIored men Jeff Roub, Richard Ingalls,, Allen Ingalls, (broth- ers) and Benjamin Johnson, have been ar- rested for the terrible crime. Allen Ingalls, confessed to reporter at 12 p. m. tonight that stranger made proposition to him which was agreed to, viz, that the three bodies should be produced at the college above mentioned for money consideration and the cabin be burned the same night to avert suspicion. The stranger then left and up to this time it is not known who he is."

Secures Another Delay.
 WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-When the Keller Boynton committee met this morning, MT. Coleman, Keifer's counsel, stated that the witnesses whom he had expected this morn ing had not arrived. He asked, therefore, that the case go over for one day. Two or three witnesses for MT. Keller, however, were present, and the committee decided that they might be examined at this time. M. s. Furay, Columbus newspaper man, was put upon the stand to testify that Keifer had detailed to him, as Keller himself had given 1t, the conversation with Boynton about the McGarrahan claim. It was ruled out. Witness testified to Boynton's good reputation, but added that he was man of violent prejudices and had done injustice sometimes to public men. MT. Coleman in- quired specifically as to the newspaper con- troversy between Boynton and General Sherman to show that Boynton had acted maliciously, but the question was ruled out.
 Mir Coleman said that the other witnesses present were to be called in rebuttal and that they could not well be called at present. MT. Keifer said that he understood that this was an investigation by the committee and not OY nm, RnQ YeG Iu6 COmh1tGSo Adu tdASu nO steps to get witnesses. There were g good many witnesses who could probably testify directly and afirmatively on the subject of the investigation. If he were allowed one or two days be could summon these witnesses MT. Coleman and Mir. Keifer both complained of what they regarded as the haste with which the committse pressed them to a presentation of their case; and MT. Coleman criticised the members of the committee for the severe cross examination to which his witnesses were subjected. This criticism was particularly directed against MT. Adams, am who replied that m Witnesses were telling the truth. The chair. man and Mir. Poland thought that .Es .s re- marks of MT. Keifaa-- ana his counsel in regard to the pressure of the committee to continue the investigation were entirely un- called for, and stated that MT. Keifer would have ample time to present his case, provided that there was no unnecessary delay. After further discussion, the committee, at MT. Keifer's suggestion, adjourned until Sstur- day at 10 o'clock.

The continued eXcel- lent health which enables me to keep house for my aged father and to enjoy life, keeps alive my Intense personal interest Tn Hoops and cannot refrain from ex- pressing my gratitude for the permanent cure this wonderful medicine effected in my case nearly two years ago, while living in Lowell, when all my physicians gave me up as being in an incurable condition. One thing before close. I have recommended your SarSaparilla to hundreds. and think its invincibility in curing Scrofula has be- come absolute by the wonderful cures it has effected aside from my own.
