SAVANNAH, Mo, Sept. 9.--In his con.

saw them 60 to the woods to pick hazel
nuts and followed them 15 minutes after

Of a corn field when he came
up with them. While he was talking
with them, he saw Henry Kuappenbsrger
pass. He then induced the children to
20 further into the corn field, and while
the eldest was walking in front OF him,
he shot her. She turned around. As
she did so, he shot her again killing her
instantly. The other girl then started to
run but he followed and caught her. She
begged so hard for him to let her go that
he came very near allowing her to do 40.
He did let 60 Of her but, knowing che
would tell, he again caught hold
OF her, threw her down and
ont her throat. 1t was 16 or 20 minutes
after Kuappenberger passed that he shot
the elder girl after killing the younger.
He went back to his first victim and,
after q most fendish act, mutilated her
SO as to create the impression that
II was the deed OF crazy

he shot her, but the other girl cried out
and he held his hand over her mouth to
prevent her being heard. After these

knife into the stream and then

Wilmington. Thursday,sept. 1884


The Republican papers are shouting
tremendously over the result Of the Maine
election, but the cold fact remains that
the majority is much less than Ii. 900,
and that the Blaine enthusiasm has failed
TO lead the party up to the level Of the
achievements Of former years. The
majority was smaller. than was given
At the September election OF 1876, when
Hayes WAS the Presidential candidate, and
Tit shall stop at Is, 900, SO SEEING probable
from the figures now at hand, 1t will be
an increase OF but 1900 over the une.
ventiul state election two years ago, and
this, too, after a contest which brough
out the largest vote ever polled in tn
state, and during which the Democrat
left the field almost entirely clear to thei
opponents up to the hour for opening tn
polls.
Clearly the Blaine boom is on tn
wane. 1t has had no apprsciAble effeC
