ANOTHER horrible murder has been com
mitted by fool with pistol that he thought
was not loaded. Dennis Riley of Brooklyn,
shot and instantly killed his affianced, Miss
Celia Kenny. Riley had undertaken to mes
merize the girl, and with criminal reckless
ness had taken out his revolver and fiourished
it about. This terrified the girl, who proba-
bly, was only too well aware of the frequent
tragedies resulting from the display of ''un-
loaded" revolvers. She started to run away,
and was brought to the floor a corpse, with a
bullet through her brain. The wretched
butcher expressed great surprise at his arrest
his grief evidently being genuine. The man
who carries and foolishly fourishes a revolver
should be sent to the penitentiary. Sympathy
for him when he murders one of lis friends
or relatives should not save him from his
deserts

A PATENT medicine firm in Atlanta recently
published thrilling account of a case of hydro
phobia said to have occurred in that town, the
alleged victim being a Mrs. Stewart. She was
described as having been bitten by cat, after
which occurrence she developed propensity to
crawl on the floor in the endeavor to catch rats,
to purr, NEW and do other singular feline acts.
She was cured of this strange disease, the ac-
count stated, in the most wonderful way, by
taking a bottle of medicine manufactured by
the firm. 1t was added also, that the medicine
was recommended to the lady by DIR. Bellamy,
who is a regular physician of the place.
The sequel to this story appears in the shape
of a $4,000 damage suit brought by the Doctor
who, like all other good doctors, never uses
patent medicine except on the sly-and a
$4,000 suit by Mrs Stewart Taking it all in
all, the firm look upon the publication as rather
high-priced advertisement.

THE subject of divorce is under considera-
ton by the Methodist Episcopal Conference
of Philadelphia, and it is proposed to petition
the General Conference to pass law prohibit
ing any Methodist minister from marrying a
man OF woman who has been divorced for any
except the one scriptural cause. It is ex-
pected that other annual conferences will send
similar memorials, and that the higher body
will change the present church law ON the
subject, it being now quite indefinite and the
subject of controversy.

THE Journal does not say that the article of
justice given to the people of Marion county
is not irst-class, but in view of the array of
allowances published in this issue, we think
there will be no difference of opinion among
taxpayers that it is very expensive one It
should be understood that these items of ex-
pense are only those directly paid out of the
general treasury No account is made, and
cannot be, of the large amount of fees paid by
litigants to the sheriff and clerk, which make
up the larger part of the emoluments of those
offices. County government must be made
less costly in some way OF other.

BURLINGTON (VT.) FREE PRESS: 'sIt is
hardly necessary to say that the action of
the national convention in nominating
Mr. Blaine for president is both sur
prise and a disappointment to US. Con-
fident as have been the predictions of Mr..
Blaines friends that he would be the
nominee, and strong as have been the in
dications that he was the enthusiastic
first choice of a very large proportion Of
the republicans of the country, we had
not believed it possible that majority of
the convention could be blinded to the
great risk run in nominating him. :.
As submission to the clear will of
the majority is absolutely essential to the
maintenance of party organization, and
as we do not regard Mr.. Blaine as so OBJ
jectionable that he cannot receive the
votes of honest men, and as almost any
thing would be preferable to a return of
the democratic party to power in the ma
ton, we shall render the ticket put in
nomination at Chicago such support as
NAV be in our power" st

While many republicans who had
their favorites at Chicago are disap-
pointed, we have yet to hear of the
first republican in this state who will
not support the ticket. AS Mr.. Blaine
did not seek the nomination by word
or deed, all honorable republicans
must feel on reflection that a nomf-
nation fairly made and with such un-
precedented enthusiasm is entitled to
support. A few newspapers and in
dependents, already half way over to
the enemy, may turn their backs on
the ticket, but their places will be
supplied by the votes of the plain
people who believe that far play is
a jewel to be preserved if the repub-
lican party is to live. Telegraph.

his mother was a Catholic, for whose
religion he always paid great respect.
A stronger claim than this to Irish
sympathy, however, is his antagonism
to English politics. The Irish so
generally vote the English side of

their intention to be anti-English,

JOHN A. LOGAN.

Gen. John A. Logan, the candi-
date for e-president, has had va
ried career. Receiving meager ed
ucation of his father, DR.. John Lo-
gan, who was born in Ireland and
settled in Illinois in 1928, John left
Jackson county, H., as a volunteer
in the Mexican war at the age of 20
and soon became quartermaster of
his regiment. Upon his return to
Illinois Logan studied law with his
uncle, A. M. Jenkins, at one time
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the state, and
in 1S49 he was elected clerk of Jack
son county. He completed his law
studies at Louisville, Ky, the year
following and was elected prosecut-
ing attorney of the Sd judicial dis
trict in 1858, and sent to the state
| legislature, where he served foul
terms. In 1856 he was presidential
elector on the democratic ticket, vot-
ing for James Buchanan. He was
elected to the Seth and 18th con-
crosses as a democrat, and in 1860
was a strong Douglas man.
Heleft congress in 1861 and en-
tered the union army as colonel, and
had an honorable and in many respects
brilliant career. Logan was present
at the battles of Bull Run, Belmont,
Fort Donelson (where he was wound
ed), and Shiloh. In the spring of
1862 he was made brigadier-general
and served in Gen. Judah's division.
Gen. Logan commanded the first di-
vision of the right wing of the 18th
corps before Vicksburg, but subse
| quently was assigned to the command
of the 10Th army corps, and distin-
| guished himself by his strategic abil-
tiles. At the fall of Vicksburg Lo-
gan was given the command of that
post. His part during the rest of
the war included an expedition into
Alabama to dispense the rebel con-
script officers, hard fighting in the
Atlanta campaign, and his success
sion as commander of the army of
, the Tennessee after the death of Gen.
, Mcpherson. He was in the campaign
, of the Carolinas, passing through
II Columbia, Goldsboro, Fayetteville
and Raleigh when johnson surren-
dered.
After the war Gen. Logan returned
into politics. He declined the posi-
: ton of minister to Mexico, but was
s member of the 10th and 41st con
T crosses, and was one of the mana
gers of the impeachment of Presi
