the Flesh.

the Flesh.
WHEELING, w. Va, Dec. 25-The resi-
dence of Elijah Martin, a rich farmer living
four miles out of this city, was entered by a
gang of masked men. They attempted by
threats to make him divulge where his money
was, but failing in this, heated the poker red
hot and after stripping their victim, pro
ceeded to burn him over the back and chest
The old man, after standing the torture for
some time, finally told where he had his
money concealed. Just how much money
they secured is not known, but it is a large
amount. Martin was found tied and terribly
burned by one of the neighbors about noon.
Large rewards are offered for the arrest of
the gang, who have been working this sec
ton of the State for some time

Bliss and the Grand Jury.

The country has long since become
sick and tired-totally wearied out
with the star route frauds. When
Kellogg was told by the grand jury to
go scot free-the same as if he had
never had his hands on any govern
ment plundeT-the general impression
was, the people were to be no further
nauseated by repetition of the ras-
calities of the chief actors in the dis
graceful swindle. But the story goes
on before the Springer committee, and
from showing up the thieves
who did the stealing, it
has now come to proving
some of the government counsel
as guilty as the rascals they pre-
tended to prosecute and did pr osecute
in such a way as to shield them from
the punishment which was justly
their due. Before the examination of
the federal grand jurors before the
Springer committee last week, the
charges against Bliss of secret compli-
city in acqnitting therogues had been
deemed mere assertions. But they
have been clinched by the sworn tes-
timony of the jurors. Bliss testified
that he told the jury Price, the main
witness, to prove Kellogg's rascalities,
that he would not be before the grand i
jury. Hutchinson, foreman of the
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-06-26

stood with reference to Kellogg, and
is key to the entire pretended pros
ecution of the other star route thieves.
1t is about where Brewster himself
stood, and is about of piece with the
corruption that has marked every re-
publican administration since the
days of Lincoln and disgraced the
country. 1t was for this reason that
the people of the United States de-
sired-and they did desire-such a
man as Tilden in power to cleanse the
Augean stables, and purge the gov
eminent of the rascals who have
plundered the treasury and brought
odium on American government
Will the people be able to find a mar
who Will do what Tilden would have
done? Not if the republican party
with Blaine, the very boss of corrup-
ton at its head, can prevent it.

The Country at its Best.

If one would know the beautiful
country we inhabit, let him take a
trip by rail just now from Austin
to Waco. Since the recent rains,
every living tree and plant is bright
and green. The thickly dotted fields
of golden shocks of oats and wheat,
show the crop of small grain to be
abundant aud to have been saved.
The waving fields of densely green
corn, now in silk and roasting ear,
show this crop to be abundant, past
all accident The millet shows to
be almost ready for the mower and
that there will be plenty of hay. The
glistening green of the cotton shows
that the heat of the past two weeks,
together with the vigorous strokes of

Sedalia Lock, the seventeen-year-old
daughter of deputy sheriff L. G. Lock,
left her home on West Ash street, in
company with Mr. George McLane.

stood. to the ice cream saloon. Her
parents heard nothing of her until the
receipt of a letter dated Hearne, adj
dressed to her mother, in which
she stated that they were all
doubtless surprised at her leaving
home, but that she had a suf-
ficient cause for her action. It is also
understood that McLane, who is at
Kyle, his home, has heard from her by
telegraph from Fort Worth, saying
she was that far in safety. One theo-
ry is that McLane has been acting as
a mutual friend between herself and
some young man, low living in Ten
nessee, and whom she is en- route to
meet, but this her father stoutIy de-
MES. He believes her to be on her
way to Memphis, Tenn, to join a
young lady friend from Giddir rs, Who
has recently gone there = a Miss
Brown. What the true theory is, time
only, will tell.
