Beaten to Death by . Woman.

Baskerville, Chester county, is excited
over the death of Lewis Glass0n, a nine
year Old boy, which occurred on Septem
Der A, under such strange circumstances
as to lead to an investigation by the cor.
oner, which has led to a verdict of death
from violence at the hands of Laura White,
cousin OF the deceased. Laura White, il
appears, took the boy to raise after his
fathers death, since which time several
persons had seen him cruelty treated by
her, aud few days prior to his death she
was seen to beat him for full hour and
then throw him with great violence upon
the porch tioor. A post mortem examina-
ton showed that death had resulted from
hemorrhage of the brain caused by blows
and violent shocks, The woman will be
arrested.

to four hundred million dollars, and Mr..
Hendricks showed that this was simply
80 much money drawn from legitimate
business uselessly and without warrant
in reason. He reaches the conclusion
without difficulty, that this surplus can
only be reduced and its dangers averted
by the reduction Of taxation to just and
proper limits.
AT the same time Mr, Hendricks kept
fairly in view, as he and the Democratic
party always have, that the necessary
reduction should be made without in
reference with established or possible
industries. The tariff is not COM
manding issue in this canvass since Mr.
Blaine's nomination forced public
honesty to the front, but it is an issue,
and the Democratic position is so strong
on 1t that there will be no running away
from its discussion as in 1850

The deaths Of two wealthy PhiIadel-
phians recently, who left large fortunes to
surviving female relatives brings out
into prominence the fact that large
fortunes are constantly acoumulatlpg in
the hands OF women from VIII ca the same
proportiouate public benefit does not come
as would be the case, perhaps, if the estate
had gone in male descent. Ia this way
large sums which with public spirited
testator have been the means Of stimulat
ing local industry are converted INTO rail
road or canal bonds, the returns of which
go to exclusive personal uses. If all
trustees were honest, tho problem of
keeping fortunes in public use would be
easy of solution but as they are not, the
wealthy testator may be permitted TO
cI"ose the lesser of the two evils.

pledged SO to do by the Prohibition leader.
Neal Dow. He seems to have waited
until be had the Prohibition voters
safely corraled and then when
all danger was past he lodged the
issue by falling to vote on this uppermost
question in Maine politics. HIS conduct
cannot fail to be displeasug to his Pro
hibtion friends, who believed him to be
sincerely with them. And TO the great
German sentiment OF the country the
Prohibition support will indicate that
Blaino's sympathies lie 10 that direction
