Killed His Mother for 500.

<">osAASA
HAMILTON, Ohio, Dec. Sword reached
here Friday night that a most atrocious
murder had been committed in a little
village about fifteen .mileS from here called
Darrtown. The report was to the effect
that woman by the name OF Snyder
had been murdered and buried by her
own son some four weeks ago. The son had
step-son, and it was through him that the
horrible deed was discovered. 1t is said that
the mother had saved up her earnings until
she had about 800, which was the incentive
to the crime. Four weeks ago she started
with her money to go to Ogle station,
since which time nothing has been seen or
heard of her Thursday another son
went over to ask about his mother,
when the little boy of Snyders wife accused
his stepfather of having killed his grand
mother. He stated that his father killed her
with shovel and then buried her, after tax
ing the money out of basket which she car
ried The murderer was locked up in jail in
this city, and Friday morning Sheriff st.
Clair, the coroner, and other citizens went
out to the scene to make thorough search,
after which an inquest will be held.

Harris all well-to-do farmers from the

adjourned for dinner, the two hostile
factions met in front of the court house.
Nearly 100 people were present at the time
Angry words passed between DR.. ,Sauls and
w. r. Basham, when the latter whipped out
his revolver and opened fire on Sauls This
was the signal for general fusillade. The
crowd hastily scattered, leaving the field to
the combatants-the three Sauls on one side
against the two Bashams and their friends
Harris and Park-an the other. DIR.
Sauls was first seen to stagger,
throw up his hands, and fall heav-

with two balls. With his two brothers dying
at his feet, Green SaulS emptied his second
revolver, bringing Henry Basham to the
earth fatally wounded, also hitting Charles
Parks At this juncture the sheriff and off,

Immediately jailed. They all have slight

CHICAGO, June 2.-All the dele
gates are now on hand. The high
est figure mentioned for Blaine is
338; the highest for Arthur 325, but
conservative advocates put the fig.

100 votes, which, if their estimates
are correct and the Sherman and
Logan men stand by their colors in
the convention, will unquestionably
result in deadlock. The respective

Industrial Paralysis.

Republican journals are drawing
some extraordinary conclusions from
the present business depression. H.
They charge that business has shown
paralytic symptoms since the election
of a Democratic House. The gall
required to make such charge is SO
far beyond ordinary efrontry that it
would be regarded as joke if it was
not well understood that the exigen-
cies of an unpromising campaign are
melting the Republican papers to
unusal Misrepresentation.
To the ordinary observer itrequires
no argument to make it apparent that
the operations of the stock gamblers
who were risking other people'smon-
ey on fictitious securities, failing to
realize on their ventures, were the
direct cause of the Wall street panic
which Republican papers find conven-
lent at this time to attribute to the
Democratic movement for tariff re-
duction.
The Wall street furry was a panic
among gamblers. But real indus
trial paralysis has for some years been
forshadowed by such symptoms as
the suspension of production to re-
lieve an overstocked market, the pool
ing of manufacturing interests to
control supply and demand, half time
work, low wages and strikes by dis
satisfied working people. Those
symptoms antedate the election of
the Democratic House and are direct
~ chargeable to the restrictions OF
the war tariff which the Democrats
propose to remove. But of course it
suits the purpose of the Republican
party to make it appear that the para
lytic attack was brought on by ''tink-
e1ing with the tariff"

forty yards from the house. A few

Der of the family going in the direc-

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Life bears us on like a stream of
a mighty river. Our boat at first
glides down the narrow channel
through the playful murmurs of the
little brook and the winding of the
grassy borders. The trees she'd their
blossoms over our young heads; the
flowers on the brink seem to offer
themselves to our young hands; we
are happy in hope, and grasp eager
~ at the beauties around us; but the
stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in
youth and manhood is along a deep
and wider food, amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We are
animated at the moving picture Of
enjoyment and industry passing
around us-and excited at some
short lived disappointment. The
stream bears US on, and our joys and
griefs ore left behind US. We may
be ship.wrecked-we cannot be de-
layed; whether rough or smooth,
the river hastens to it's home till the
roar of the ocean is in our ears, and
the tossing Of waves beneath our
feet, and the land lessons from our
eyes, and the floods are lifted up
around US, and we take our leave of
earth and its inhabitants, until of
our further voyage there is no wit
ness save the Infinite and Eternal.

Although Mr.. Edmunds is consid-
cred third in the races at the Chicago
Republican Convention, it is evident
that he is gaining in strength. Heis
not personally popular, nor does he
possess those qualities which excite
the enthusiasm of the crowd. He is
generally very disagreeable sort of
a man when not in a thoroughly good
humor, and there are a few men in
public life who are so obstinate.
Mr. Edmunds is man of integrity
and ability, and it is doubtful if any
thing can be found in his private or
public life that is discreditable. For
a number of years he has been the
attorney in special cases for great
railroad corporations before the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, and his
income from this source is said to be
very large. It has been charged that
his sympathies are with these corpora
tons in Legislative matters in which
they are interested. The charge may
not be well founded. It is certain
that Mr.. Edmunds attempts to main
tain an impartial attitude when deal
ing, in his capacity as Senator, with
the railroads. IF he should happen
to be President the army of place.
hunters would not find the White
House the most pleasant place to
visit. Mr.. Edmunds is long dis
lance, however, from the White
House. Even if he should win at
Chicago his chances of winning at the
polls would not be very promising.
AS the possible Republican standard
bearer, however, he is an interesting
public figure.
