terrible drought, which has afflicted this
section for months, rendering the farms
useless and cattle and sheep ranges untena-

These are owned BY private parties, who

the town will be utterly deserted. Many

Town of O'EallOn, Ill.
O'FALLoN, Ill, Aug. 29.-Persons visit
ing the home of Mrs. Mccormick, rela-
tive Of Hon. j. II. Van Court, member Of
the Illinois Legislature, found all quiet
there yesterday afternoon. and, suspecting
something was wrong, went out in the
yard in the rear of the premises, and there
found the dead body of Mrs. Nc
Cormick. Her clothing had been torn
from her fin shreds, and her brains had been
literally battered out with an ak which
was found lying by her side. A further in
vestigation of the premises disclosed the
dead body of Norwegian servant girl,
who, from appearances. had murdered her
mistress and then committed suicide by poi
soning. Bloody marks vera found upon
her hands and arms and her dress was also
stained with blood. 1t is thought that the
two quarreled, and that in fit of passion
the servant girl picked up the ak which was
lying near and battered out the brains of
her mistress. Mrs. Mccormick belonged to
one of the oldest and wealthieSt5 families in

President Arthur Has a Narrow Escape.

NEWPORT, r L. Aug. 90. -The Presi-
dental party had a narrow escape from in
slant death yesterday afternoon. The
President, Secretary Chandler, Senators
Aldrich. Hawley, Miller and other officials
went on the torpedo-boat Triana for the
purpose of experimenting with torpedoes.
They had exploded one successfully and
had put another overheard, preparatory to
exploding it, and were standing on deck en-
gaged in conversation, when without any
interference whatever it prematurely ex-
plOded. No possible reason can be assigned
for the explosion, ard had it occurred on
board the boat the entire party would have
been blown to atoms. 81
