A %VAGABOND'S CRIME.
The City of Kearney Startled by the Deed
of q Villainous Father.

A Kearney special of the 9th says:
Between 10 and II O'Clock last night this
city was startled and thunderstorm by
another terrible tragedy that is not fire.
quently equalled ia enormity In criminal
annals. For some time there has been a
German family residing here named Koe-
beck. The husband was a worthless vaga-
bond, occasionally doing odd jobs around
town, but wasted the major part of his time
in idleness. He was possessed Of a most
brutal disposition, especially toward his
family, and on many occasions displayed
his brutality by beating his wife and chill
dren without any apparent cause. About
three months ago she was obliged to leave
hin en- account Of his d~issolute habits and
extreme cruelty. Last night, at the
pearance at her home. Becoming
alarmed at his peculiar actions she
took one Of her sons and started to
leave the house. She had walked but a
short distance when cries Of her other son
caused her to return. He was beating the
boy when she appeared. AS soon as he
saw her he drew a revolver and emptied
four chambers into her body, one ball pass
ing through her head. Koebeck then
rushed into the house and cut his own
throat, and will undoubtedly die, thereby
saving his internal neck from the halter.
That the act was premeditated there is not
house fully prepared for the devilish deed.
LATER.-Mrs. Koebeck is lying In a crit
ical condition. The ball passed through
head in front of the lower part of the
ear and came out on the other side. Koe-
attempt ut suicide will prove inef-
He partially severed the wind
pipe. He was arrested and lodged in jail.

DONE BY DYNAMITE.
Two Tremendous Explosions Wake the
Echoes In London.

London dispatch of June LIST: A
sharp report heard late last night outside
the Junior Carlton club house, in Pail Mall,
resulted from a bomb thrown into the base
ment, which was shattered. Fonr female
servants at work were seriously injured.
The club house was crowped with members
at the time of the explosion. Several lights
were e~xtinguished throughout the entire
building. The lights in the army and navy
clubs, opposite, were eXtinguished and
the windows blown in. Sixteen packets of
dynamite, with fuse attached, was found
tonight under the Nelson monument on
Trafalgar square.
Daylight showed the damage by exposure
fully equal to the worst anticipation. A
crowd Of excited people are visiting the
scenes. Policemen are drawn in line across
the streets in the vicinity, to prevent ac-
cess Of the multitude. Orders were given
to leave the wreckage untouched until ex-
amined by Majendie. At St. James theatre,
!, 900 yards distant, the explosion sounded
like two claps Of thunder.
The audience was alarmed, and nearly
Several ladies tainted, men
to stampede, but were treasured by
bidding every one sit still as no
harm was done. The second bomb on st.
James square, which exploded against the
residence Of Sir Walter. Mynn, produced a
huge wide fracture four feet high, and
10 breadth. The windows were
and furniture damaged.

What a Woman Has Done for Siam.

N. Y. tribune.
Mrs. Leonowens, former governess to
the King of Siam, in a recent interview
with the Siamese Prince, now on a
mission to the United States govern
ment, was received with great express
sions of cordially and gratitude. He
says that he would hardly the
Siam of to-day, comparing it with that
of fifteen years ago, and he attributes
the great Regeneration that has taken
place largely to her influence on the
King and the young Princes committed
to her care, of whom he is one, and all
of whom are now occupying high posi-
tons. Slavery has been abolished, as
we'll as the Imprisonment of children
for the debts of their fathers, the sys-
tenn of Jurisprudence has been reform
ed, p~ostoffices have been established,
public schools endowed where the Eu-
ropean languages are taught, and the
system of prostration, which required
all persons to enter the presence Of a
superior on his hands and feet, entirely
done away with.

The Author Of an AtrOciOus Murder
Executed.

Wesley johnson, "a years old, was
hanged at Napoleon, Ohio, on the 10Th, for
the murder, on the nighto OF October % last,
of George H.. Williams and wife, who lived
on a farm seven miles north of that place.
The crime was one of the most cold blooded
ever known. There was no provocation
whatever, johnson killing them by chop
ping their heads open with an axe, the OBJ
ject being to obtain money to support his
mistress. He secured $26 and a silver
watch. The murder was not discovered
for two days. johnson was arrested and
convicted on purely circumstantial evil
dence, but has since confessed. When the
death warrant was read to him he said 1t
was just. He walked firmly to the scaffold.
He coolly asked the sheriff to remove his
collar and tie, and then thanked him. He
remained perfectly calm throughout, and
asked the sheriff to not keep him standing
there. When the black cap was drawn
over his head he said: ''God be merciful
to my soul.'

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Credit is like a looking glass, which,
when only sullied by a breath, may be
wiped clear again, but if once cracked
a w be repaired.-[Scott.
Strength must be found in thought,
or it will never be found in the words.
Big sounding words, without thoughts
corresponding, are efforts without ef-
feet William Cobbett.
Disparage and deprecate no one; an
insect has feeling and an atom a
shadow.-[Fuller.
The esteem of wise and good men is
the greatest Of all temporal encourage
ments to virtue, and it is a mark of an
abandoned spirit to have no regard to
.-[Binke.
A man that loves his own fireside and
can govern his house without falling by
the ear with his neighbors, or engag-
ing in lawsuits, is as free as q duke of
Venice.-[Montaigue.
He that refuseth instruction despiseth
his own soul.-[Solomon.
He that gives good advice, builds
with one hand; he that gives good
counsel and example, builds with both;
but he that gives good admonition and
bad example, builds with one hand and
pulls down with the other.-[Bacon.
'If a civil word or two will render a
man happy" said a French king, she
must be a wretch indeed who will not
give them to him. Such a disposition
is like lighting another mans candle
by ones own, which loses none of its
brilliancy by what the other gains"
Every one must see daily instances
of people who complain from a mere
habit Of complaining, and make their
friends uneasy and strangers merry by
.murmuring at evils that do not exist
and repining at grievances which they
do not really feel.-[Graves.
All trust is dangerous if it is not en-
tire; we ought on most occasions to
speak all or conceal all. We have al
ready too much disclosed our secrets
to a man from whom we think any one
single circumstance is to be concealed.
In company it is a very great fault
to be more forward In setting ones
self off and talking to show ones parts
than to learn the worth and to be truly |
acquainted with the abilities of other
He that makes it his business
not to know but to be known, is like a
foolish tradesman who makes all the
haste he can to sell off his old stock,
but takes no thought of laying in any

CAPITAL TOPICS.
THE TARIFF QUESTION.

In reply to a communication from
the house ways and means committee ask
ing for Secretary Folger's opinion of the
administrative portion of Hewitt's tariff
bill, Mr.. Hewitt has received a letter from
the secretary endorsing the plan. This rem
ders it more than likely that such changes
In the law as are recommended in that part
will receive the sanction of the house. Rep.
resentatiYe Hurd says there certainly will
be an effort made at this session to extend
the free list by the addition Of lumber and
coal.
QUESTION OF CHINESE RESTRICTION.
The department of state having been
informed hat the Chinese government pro-
posed to enter a silk loom in operation as an
exhibit at the New Orleans exposition, the
question arose whether the Chinese r~estric-
ton act did not prohibit the landing Of
operatives on the ground that they were
laborers. The question was referred to the
treasury department and Secretary FOlger
informed the secretary of state that Chinese
operatives be admitted without molestation,
with the understanding that they will not
remain in the country longer than necessary
for the display of their exhibit.
H DANvILLE RIOT.
The majority report of the senate
elections committee on the Danville riot de-
clared that it was premeditated and pre-
concerted for the purpose Of raising a race
issue and intimidating the negroes; that
the democrats prearranged the riot and in
dorsed it after it had occurred. Mr..
Lapham, who prepared the report, intro
duced some kilograms which he claimed
sustain the conclusion that the riot was the
deliberate work of the democratic party.

fairs will report favorably the bill retiring

The Conductors Story. Of "Printer
JOe."

Ban Francisco Chronicle.
"Printer Joe," said the conductor,
"was q hard one to stand off, and was
known among railroad men all over the
country. / don't believe that fellow
would pay his fare from n station to
the next if he had a fortune in his
pocket. It's against his principle
that is, if he is still living, which l sup
pose he is. 1 knew him five years and
he was the boss of them ALL"
An interested lot of listeners had now
gathered around and a desire to hear
more of the famous Joe having been
expressed, the last speaker went on as
follows:
"Well, among the things which 1 re-
member of him was the way he beat
me when 1 was running a Baltimore
and Ohio train into Cincinnati a few
years back. 1t was an accommodation

on that line was fast in those days, and
1 guess it is still. Well, one day 1 found
Joe aboard. He was riding in the car
next to the baggage. l saw him at
once, but didn't appear to recognize
him, although 1 knew him all the time.
So 1 said to him, 'Ticketi' He looked at
me il a rather amused way and pre-
tended to pay no attention to me. But
l insisted upon the ticket, whereupon
he took me aside and said: My friend,

vexed, and told him | understood his
game, and that if he did not get off at
the next station he would have reason
to repent. He readily promised to get
off, and kept his word, for 1 saw him
walking away from the train. I was
glad to be rid of him so easily, and
you may imagine my chagrin when I

the train. l said nothing at this time, |
but when we came to the next station
1 put Mr.. Joe off in a way which was
much more forcible than polite. 1t
was of no use. At every station 1 had
to go through the same process, and
once 1 stopped between stations,

and threw him out of the smoking
