John Z. Donnison, cattle dealer of
Maytown, was complained against on Fri
day morning, before Alderman Barr, by
John W. Mentzer for false pretense, and
Dennison, Lewis Hall and Frank Albright
for conspiracy. The allegation is that
plaintiff received cattle from Mentzar TO

seDtations, and that the other defendants
conspired with Dennison to dofraud the

Strasburg has had sad experience in the
raising Of Blaine and Logan poles, almost
as sad as their ratification mcoting when
the coroner and grave digger marched

that Republicans of tho borough are
doomed to disappointment. The regulars

The fears have expressed may be un-
founded. but surely it is our duty in a
presidential election to study with
care the interests of all pursuits and
of all sections of our country. Gov.
Cleveland, the Democratic candidate, is
an able, firm aud thoughtful man, who
has risen to the position of governor OF
this state by the faithful performance of
duties in the official positions he
has held. His untlinching courage in car
rying out his trusts and his unquestioncd

Mr.. Charles D'Acres, a younger son of

Chinese waters in English men -of-war,
came to America few years ago and
became engaged In the newspaper busi-
ness In Lemars, Iowa, where he became
the editor Of the World, fourishiug
paper. He was irregular in his habits,
but talented, and some three years ago
attempted to commit suicide In q house of
III fame in Sioux City. A year and half
ago gateway, contiguous town, suffered
loss OF sl0O, 900 from numerous fires of
undoubted incendiary origin. At the time
the young English journalist was sus-

D'Acres. About four weeks ago an

THE BRITISH STARS.
A Very English Perfor IN ance with some
Good Fosturts,

Good Fosturs.
Last evening Moore 81 Holmes British
burlesque company appeared in the opera
house and the audience was small. The
troop Is quite strong and includes q mum
Der OF good artists. They are very English,
however, and it crops out in almost every
thing they do or say. Their ideas OF fun
arc somewhat different from those of
American artists, on whom they are no
improvement. The Emmetts, are clever
sketch artists and good singers, and Miss
Grace Emmett has few equals in the
character of an old Irish woman. Patrick
Feeny, is considered a fine Irish comedian
on the other side aud really is clsver,
but the people here have become so ac.
oustomed to such Irish actors as Pat
Rooney that they are not satisfied with
othere. Madaline Rosa, tho lady yentrilo-
quist, made great hit with her talking
figures, and she is fully as fine In her bust :
ness as any of the males. The great feature
of the show was the acrobatic performance
of tho Cragg family which con-
sists Of five persons, two mon
and three boys. They all appear on the
stage in full dress and begin tumblng.
As they warmed up they took off their
coats and settled down TO business. They
then give most wonderful entertainment,
doing almost every feat that is possible
and many which look impossible. No
such an exhibition has ever been seen
here, and it is doubtful il a better troupe
OF acrobats live. The audience almost
weut wild over these artists, and they
were recalled again and again. The other
features of the show were scarcely worth
noticing, the concluding +" absurdity,
entitled Tho Corsiean Brothers." being
about the worst.

The building was insured for $50, and
the stock for $500, in the North British

Poll Tax Reform,

the number of people credited with hav
ing paid a poll tax is vastly dspropor.
ti0nate to what it should be. Particu
larry is this the case in the Large cities.
In Philadelphia mUIe than one hundred
thousand tax receipts were taken out
during the last month. To entitle the
voter to exercise the right of suffrage he
Is required 10 pay tax within two years
OF the election. This number, therefore
represents those who did not pay their
poll taxes at previous elections within
that time. There are, of course, in this
enumeration scme who for the sake of
certainty have paid their taxes twice,
but these will hardly be a very con
siderable number. Philadelphia never
cast two hundred thousand votes at any
election, and it will therefore be seen
that very much more than one half of
the voting population paid poll tax for
the present election. Now when it is
considered that at the November elec
tion of 1883 there were "a, 42i persons in
the city who paid their poll taxes and
45,S13 who paid them in February, 1884
it is seen that by the records nearly
5000 paid this personal tax within the
past TWO years. But this is nearly the
entire voting population of the city. If
these figures are correct, there are only a
few thousand in this city of almost a
million people who pay taxes on real
estate. There must be palpable error
somewhere, for no city in the Union has
larger percentage of residents who own
their homes than Philadelphia.
Here exists case of the most urg ent
reform. II the Individual voter has paid
his tax within two years-and there
should be record of tit Is the height
OF injustice to require it of him a second
time. A gateway for fraud is open too
for party managers, who may in this
& way pay taxes in the names of persons
deceased, and vote non-residents on
them. Where party committees have
the work OF paying the taxes of those of
the same political creed who neglect this
duty. the work is necessarily dore i'm
perfectly. because of the lack of cooper.
alton on the part of those whose taxes
are paiS In cases of doubt they take
the trickNby paying more than enough,
thus introducing the temptation to have

A Woman Murdered aud Dscapitated by
Her Busband-her son Lyncned.
A horrible crime has been brought to
light at Troy, Ind, by the finding of the
headless body OF woman in cisteru on
the farm of Peter Backer. The body was
nude. The head was found in thieket a
hundred yards from the cistern. This was
late on Wednesday evening. The body
which was that of q portly woman, weigh
ings about 100 pounds, and of about 40
years of age, was yet warm when taken
from tho water. There was deep cash
below the shoulder blade, as though made
with an axe, and wound on the forehead,
made with some blunt instrument.
The body was taken to Troy, but was not
identified until Thursday, when it was re-
cognized as Mrs. Stillwell Hindershot,
who resided on farm fourteen miles back
of Troy.
A neighbor of Hindershot, while in fell
City saw tho murdered woman's husband.
He also noticed a valse marked st. Ii.
Hindershot." While the steamer Droil.
lard wac at Troy q search warrant was
pracured and the valise opened and found
to contain clothing of the victim covered
with blood. Warrants were Immediately
issued for the arrest of Stillwell Hinder
shot, the woman's husband and T. II. and
William Hindershot, their sons. The old
man and his son William were arrested
and taken to Troy. The elder son refused
to come aud defisd arrest. An increased
posse was sent after him, and no was
brought to Troy and placed in Jail. He
acknowledges committing the crime him
self, but says his father and brother had
nothing to do with it. The old mans
testimony seems to throw tho weight of
the crime upon himself and the eldest son.
The murder of Mrs. Hindershot arose
from her refusal to sign away the farm, 10
which she had deed in fee simple. which
the father aud son wanted to dispose of.
Several hundred persons we're present at
the trial, and about noon an effort was
made to seize the criminals and mete out
summary vengeance on them but the
officers succeeded In averting the attack.
The result OF the preliminary trial was the
release of William. The othe. brother and
father were remanded to Jail.
At z O'Clock the mob at Troy took the
eldest son out of Jail and hanged him to q
beam in the barn where the orimo was
committed. H6 made q confession that
his father shot his mother and that he cut
her head off with an axe. At 10 O'Clock
the mob passed through Tell City on the
way to Cannellton, three miles above, to
hang the father and the other SOD, who are
In jail there. The mob is 200 strong.
