THE ANDERSON MURDER.
The Crazy Wife Tells the Horrible
Story to the Sheriff.

On Sunday last, it will be remem-
bercd, Mrs. Eliza Anderson murdered
her aged husband near Bowling Green.
She was taken in custody by Sheriff
Brown and repeated the following story
of the murder several times:
"I killed Stewart did it with club;
l had my shoes off so he couldn't hear
me and hid behind door, and when he
passed through hit him on the back of
the head and knocked him down; he
tried to get up and | hit him twice more,
then he didn't try to get up any more.
He only said water and that was all;
so got pail full; he was graspingand
every time he'd open his mouth I'd
pour in tin full; as long as he gasped
or gurgled l poured; / used two pals
full of water; 1 thought wouldn't hit
any more, but as he wanted water /
thought I'd give him all he wanted, and
drown him; / looked at the clock and it
was just half past 10; l thought that
was good time to kill him for every
body in the neighborhood had gone to
the baptizing up the river; washed
him all clean and combed his hair and
whiskers and Strengthened him out; i
scrubbed all the blood off of the floor
and then laid his head on the broom;
he looked real nice and happy then"
! She said the reason she killed him
was because he had tod her that though
he was older than she he would outlive
her, and she thought she'd show him
that he wouldn't

Brush House.

1t is truly wonderful, when you stop to
think how many kinds and varieties of
brushes are in common use. The one
used most and used by most people, is
probably the hair brush, next the tooth
brush, clothes brush, paint brush &c.
Many are actually indispensable articles
in the common household, there is hardly
a family anywhere in which you cannot
find some kind OF brush. If you want
to see what variety there is in general
demand just step in at Saur's Drug and
Paint Store, and about the first thing you
will see is the common turkey feather
duster, which is so highly appreciated by
every housewife, then there is the scrub
brush, the window brush, the whitewash
brush, the stove-brush, the backing
brush, the chimney-brush, the kalsomine
brush, the bottle-brush, the paper-brush
and in fact several hundred kinds Of
brushes, all of which are very useful and
cost but very little at Saur's Drug and
Book Store.

Evidence of Progression.

Verify, this is an age of progression.
The homely and inefficient plow with
wooden moulboard with which the hus-
bandman used to stir the soil, is now heard
ofonly in the tales of long ago, told by
our grand-fathers now tottering on the
verge of the grave. The rude cycle with
which the wheat harvest used to be gath
cred, and which rendered the cultivation
of the cereal laborious and Improbable,
this implement has been laid on the dusty
toned no more, except in the songs of the
poets, who don't know much more about
harvest than digger Indian does about
mental philosophy.
The evidences of progression becomes
more apparent every year. Only a few
years ago reaping machine was regarded
as farmers luxury, only to. be INDUCED
in by men who had money to throw away.
BY some, reaper was looked upon as a
gross intrusion upon the good old customs
ofour forefathers. But now they are be-
COliC w No ICSuluCu as w
successful farming. We can remember
the time when the farmer who bought a
reaper would come to. town after working
hours and sneak his machine home after
dark. But the time has now come when
instead of being almost ashamed to show
himsel1the farmer is proud to let people
know that he reaps his harvest with ease.
An illustration of this was witnessed last
Thursday afternoon when twenty-five far
mers headed by the Napoleon band pa
raded the principal streets of the city, all
with new machines loaded on their wag-
ons, making very attractive display.
Their machines were the renowned Cham
pion, manufactured at Springfield, o.
These machines were sold by Messrs. Hell
Ter d Coover through their agent Mr.. Van
Walers. These gentlemen have sold fif-
teen self-binders, and twenty reapers and
mowers this season, which speaks we'll for
the Champion, also tor the firm that han
dies them.

DEADLY DYNAMITE.
Again Shakes Up the English Lion.
Thirteen Persons Severely Wounded

J.
LONDON, May 31.-An explosion, sup
posed to have been of dynamite, oc-
Cured in Scotland Yard at 9:15 last
evening. One of the police headquar-
ters buildings was completely wrecked
and number of houses in the vicinity
were seriously damaged. Five minutes
later similar explosion took place in
Pail Mall, which shattered the windows
of the Carlton Club building and con-
siderably injured other structures in
that neighbOrhood. The roadway was
torn up and rendered impossible.
The building partly wrecked by the
explosion in Scotland Yard, was ahouse
used by detectives of the lodging house
department. The adjacent Clarence
Tavern was partly demolished. Several
cabs standing in the roadway were
overturned by the force ofthe explosion.
One carriage nearest by was blown to
pieces, and it's horses were injured.
The explosion in Pail Mall, occurred
two minutes after that in Scotland
Yard. Three minutes after this, 800,
third explosion occurred in st. James
Square, only short distance from the
scene of the second one. The concus-
sion in this case was the severest OF all.
The back wall of the Junior Carlton
Club building, which faces the Pail
Mall, was blown in, and the splendid
residence of Sir Watkins Williams
Wynn, NJ. p, was partially wrecked.
Two of Sir Watkins men servants re-
ceived slight injuries. The windows
were smashed and the gas extinguished.
Eight maid servants of the Junior
| Carlton Club were wounded by flying
debris. They were removed to a hospi-
| tai.
At $50 p. IN. eighteen slabs Of dyna-
| mite all connected with clab which
had a fuse attached, were found by the
police at the base of the Nelson Monu-
ment in Trafalgar Square. They We're
conveyed to Scotland Yard, and exam
ined by Colonel Majendie, Inspector of
Explosive, who pronounced them to be
nitro compounds.
Daylight showed that the damage by
the explosions was fully equal to the
worst anticipations. A crowd OF excited
people are visiting the scenes, but po-
licemen are thrown up in line across the
streets in the vicinity to prevent the ac-
cess of the multitudes. Orders were
given to leave the wreckage untouched
until an examination by Majendie.
RossA IN GOOD SPIRITS.
New YORK, June 1.-[Special. The
World says: O'Donovan Rosa was
jubilant yesterday over the news of the
dynamite explosion in London on Fri
day night. A large number Of enthu-
siasts called on him during the day, the
most of whom made contributions for
the Resources of Civilization Fund. The
postman delivered a number of letters
containing money. One letter signed
"Martin Furlong,' Donegal County,
Pa.,n contained $100. Mr.. Rosa says
the war will be continued in England
until Ireland is free.
