This spot seems TO have been the &c
cused Of this locality, for soon after the
tragic death OF these unfortunate lovers
it became the den and winter home of
many kinds of snakes who burrowed in
the seams and crannies of the shattered
sand stone rock. IL is singular fact
but as true as it is singular, that every
kind of snake found in the same climates
cohsort and den together during the min
Ter months. These pests have, however,
all or nearly all been eradicated. Never
theless there are few that still inhabit
this den, but they are not of the venom
GUS kind. That there are still occasional
harmless kinds of serpents to be found
there in the fall on their return to their
winter quarters We can vouce for from
occular demonstration, as while examing
this locality in the fall of 1888 we made
the sudden acquaintance of couple of
striped fellows, and though we knew
they were harmless we Involuntary
stepped high and kept our weather gauge
eye on the keen look out for more of
them.
The story told by the quarryman, who,
while quarrying stone at this point some
years since, laid down and went to sleep
on the ground to be suddenly awakened
by snakes crawling over him on their way
to their den, and of the prodigious
slaughter he made in theirAanks with
club, rivaling the slaughter of Sampson
with his jaw bone of the ass among the
Phillstines, should be taken in homeo
pathic doses. This occurred since the
discover of strichnine whisky, and the
strong probability is (since he declared
that the victims of his slaughter filled a
barreD the most of his snakes were in his
boots.
We suggest that this spot be called
'Fae Lovers Tomb" instead of The
Cave of Death"

Two Men Under Arrest Charged with the
Commission of Triple Murder in
Logan County, ILL.,, in 1882.

Two Men Under Arrest Charged with the
Commission of Triple Murder in
Logan County, ILL.,, in 1882.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-Late Tuesday even
ing it was learned that two men were under
arrest here charged with the murder of Nc
Mahon, CarIock and Metheny, at Mount
Pulaski, ILL.,, August Is, 1882. Their
names are David Long and j. 81. Hail.
Officers left here at once for Lincoln, ILL.,.
in company with the two men, and il
is said another arrest will follow, and
that then the chain of evidence will
be complete. Both the men arrested were
formerly residents of Logan County, and
were on their way to Texas when taken
into custody.
The following is brief history of the
crime:
Friday, August IS, 1882, Charles Nc
Mahon, farmer aged about forty-five, and
his two hired hands-Bob Matheny, aged
twenty-one, and John Carlock, youth of
seventeen-were seen stacking grain on
McMahon's place, near Mount Pulaski, in
Logan County, LII. Sunday forenoon two
neighbors called at McMahon's to return
horse that had broken into their premises,
when they discovered the house deserted and
the stack of grain and the wagons just
as they had been left Friday night. They
began searching the premises, and soon
came upon the body of Carlock, about
three hundred yards from the house, in
some tall grass with his head and feet
bound gag in his mouth, his eyes blind
folded, and his throat cut from ear to ear.
They at once gave the alarm, and, after
searching some hours, the bodies of Nc
Mahon and Matheny were also found, both
with hands tied behind them, feet bound,
blindfolded and Threats cut the same as Car
lock. The parties were tied by the legs so as
to allow them to step some eight or ten
inches, and had evidently been marched
from the house TO the place where they
were killed. Mcmahon was a bachelor
worth perhaps $4,000. No money had
been left in the house by the murderers and
McMahon's gold watch was also missing.
Suspicion attached to man named Hall
who had married sister of Mcmahon, and
he has been Swallowed during all this time
by Pinkenon detectives, with the result
given above

A Horrible Confession.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 25.-Ingalls and John
son, two of the men under arrest here for
the triple murder of the negro Taylor, Mis-.
Taylor and their little girl at Avondale over
a week ago, confessed Saturday. When
taken before Mayor Strickland, of Avon
dale, Johnson confessed, but Ingalls, pro-
tested his innocence. They were then
lodged in the county jail in this city.
Ingalls, then manifested great uneasi-
ness over the confession of Johnson,
finally breaking down, and giving
what he said was q true account of the muir
der. According to his story johnson sug-
gested the murder. saying the Taylors were
old people. and that it would be a good idea
to kill them and sell their bodies. Ingalls,
agreed, and came here and arranged to sell
the corpses to the Ohio Medical College,
where he got the address of an express
man named Dixon, who was to convey
the bodies to town. That night he and
johnson went to the old peoples house, the
latter carrying heavy club, with which, as
soon as he entered, he began to beat the old
people. The old man and the girl were
knocked senseIess at once, but Mrs. Taylor
struggled and Ingalls, said he finally
bodies to Dixon's wagon and drove to the
college He declared he knew nothing
about the firing of the cottage.
Johnson's story is to the effect that In
gals did the killing, while he and Dixon re-
manned outside. After the bodies had been
placed in the wagon Ingalls, went back and
fired the house. ingalls, also confesses that
during the past few months he has stolen
several bodies from the new cemetery and
sold them to the same college.
The funeral services of the three victims
took place to-day at Avondale Town Hall,
and lasted three hours, over one thousand
persons being present, a large number being
of the best white citizens of the place. The
clergymen who participated were all col
ored except City Missionary Joseph Emory,
who SPOKE first and said the crime was one
which deserved summary punishment
without resort to the courts. This was
greeted with cheers. Elder r. w. Scott
colored, said the plea of insanity might be
argued for these criminals but he thought
the best treatment for each of them was
stout rope and the nearest lamp-post.
