The latest discovery Ia that tho Bible

surname is Blaine, says an exchange.
The verses will be found In Exodue, and
there 10 little doubt that tho exodus

ber Ia one OF tho things j. g., has most

Ingersoll's great liking for tho Maine
statesman, although unkind people have
hinted that II was Bob's liking for the
main chance rather than the Maine pol
itlclan, that causes him 10 champion

"And the Lord said unto Moses aud

At 0:30 this morning, shortly after the
opening hour, Mrs. Rebecca Hunter,
Jointly Indicted with George Bruner for
murder In the first degree, In the killing
of her husband, Frank Hunter, was
brought into Court and took seat be-
side her counsel, Mr.. r. 8. Shields. Mr.
Shields arose, and In o few words do
maded the discharge OF his client under
the statutes. Prosecuting Attorney
Harter objected to this, and wanted her
discharged on her own recognlzance,
After some little discussion Judge Pease
directed Mr.. Shields to Gle a written mo-
tion for the discharge OF Mrs, Hunter
under the statutes. Mr.. Shields sat
down, and In few minutes had the
motion reduced to writing, aud read II
TO the Court.
The motion, In effect, claimed the dis
charge Of the prisoner on the grounds
that she had been kept In c0nllne'
ment through q period extending over
more than two terms OF court Without
any approach being made to a trial, and
that said detention was not owing to
any act or motion on the part OF the de-
fendant, but was caused through the
failure Of the State to prosecute, The
Court asked II the counsel for the State
had anything to say In answer 10 the
motion, to which the Prosecutor an
swered, no. Judge Peass then In the
course OF a few remarks on the case,
said that during the trial OF Brnner last
winter, not one syllable Of evidence had
been produced tending TO show. that
Mrs. Hunter was In any way Implicated
In the crime OF numbering her husband,
and that the testimony given by her on
the witness stand at that trial no be-
lieVed 10 be entirely true. The Judge
further said that II the Stateb object In
having the prisoner discharged on her
own rec0gnlzance, was that II hoped TO
secure statements or admissions some
time In the future from Bruner, which
would enable II TO bring the
prisoner TO trial for the murder OF
Hunter, the idea was foolish, In view
OF the fact that the said Bruner had
plead guilty to committing the murder
and been sentenced for H. In referring
TO tho theory OF suicide OF Hunter, which
had been advanced at the trial OF Bruner,
the Judge secuted the Idea, saying that
no man would 20 to 30 much trouble TO
kill himself unless he was totally de-
ranged, and there was no evidence ad'
duced to show that Hunter was In such
q condition. The Judge concluded by
sustaining the motion and ordering the
discharge Of Mrs. Hunter.
Thus ends the last chapter In the Hun
ter murder case and after 10 months
confinement In the county jail, Mrs.
Hunter Is once more u free woman, and
In the eyes Of the law is innocent OF oil
completely In the murder Of her hus-
band, Frank Hunter. Public opinion
though, does not entirely sustain this
final verdict Of the court, az there Is n
large number OF people who believe,
and will always believe, that Mrs,
Hunter has more or less knowledge OF
her husbands death, and she Is just az
responsible for II as Bruner is.

WOOSTER, o., June 2B,-There Ia con.
siderable talk among Republicans here
about the tone Of tho closing paragraph
OF the report OF the Congressional con.
yentlOn at 0rryllle by Biz" In yester-
days Leader. The language is such az
TO convey the Idea TO outsiders that the
Republicans of Wayne county are inn0'
cent, unauspecting fellows and are cas-
lily duped by malicious falalllers. This
Idea Ia resented here and the lnsinna'
tl0n produces no very good feeling, The
Wayne county delegation went Into that
convention believing that Captain Nc
Clnre was tho strongest man that cOul
be nominated, and had the records TO
back them In the belief, Mcclure having
never been candidate but that he ran
from 200 TO 800 ahead Of hia ticket In
Wayne county, and was the man who
came within six votes OF carrying Sum
nit county against Dave Paige two
years ago, which was the nearest by Il
large vote any Republican ever came 10
defeating Coal OIL Dave In his own
county. Standing over against this was
the bold, 0ntspOken declarations OF
prominent Republicans OF Alliance and
Massill0n, that II Mckinley was noml-
mated they would repeat the dose they
gave him In Stark county two years ago,
when he ran over 400 behind his ticket,
They said then they would run him be-
hind his ticket, and the result confirmed
their assertion. They declare that they
will do the same thing this year, and
although "Biz" may pronounce them
"transc0ntinental aesthetics" yet they
are there In Stark county aud they and
their friends have votes.
These are plain, cold facts that the
Republicans OF Wayne county under
stood before the convention and under
stand now. The Republicans here want
Mckinley elected, and will work earn
estly 10 secure such result, but they
are not In hum0r 10 take any derOga-
tory insinuatlons from Stark county
which showed u little selAshness In not
coming up and returning the c0mpli-
ment bestowed on her by Wayne In 1878
when they cast their solid vote for Nc
Klnley In the Massillon Convention, and
then moved heaven and earth to defeat
their own citizen, General Wiley, a one.
legged soldier. Major Mckinley has no
"walk.over" In the present contest, and
the Republicans here make no hesita
tlon In saying that the sooner no muz'

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

Burly Negro,

A 10y Stripped and Fearfully Beaten bya
nurly Negro,
A horrible outrage waaperpetrated on
q young boy named George Jones, son
OF Kramer Jones, wood worker In
Wertz' carriage shop, bya burly negro,
yesterday which, for utter llendishnesa,
has never been surpassed. Young Jones,
with number OF other boye, a. down
at the West Creek about II o'clock In the
morning, when negro came along,
and acc0allng Jones, asked the boy TO
20 with him across the creek and help
him catch u COW, at the same time
agreeing TO give him dollar for 10 do
Ing. Eager 10 make some money the
boy accompanied the negro across the
creek, and when they had arrived on the
other side the latter asked Jones TO lend
him knife which he had with him.
The boy gave the negro his knife, and
with II the latter cut stout switch,
and without a word OF warning
the hendish brute tore the clothes
from the poor boys back and placing
his head between hia (the negro's) legs
beat him over the naked body with the
switch In terrible manner When the
inhum6n brute grew tired no released
Jones and the boy made his way home
where he told the story Of his beating
10 his parents, who Informed the police
of II, s.0nlcer Yrant started out In search
OF tho black wretch, but was unsuccess'
ful In finding him.
Early last evening the same negro
made his appearance In the vicinity Of
the East Creek, and endeayOred
10 entice away another 10y
there for the purpose OF exercising HIS
ilendlsh prOpenalties on him; but he
was baked In his purpose, as an alarm
was raised, and the neighbOrhOOd be-
coming badly worked up the brute was
obliged to lee. Young Jones body and
limbs present terrible appearance, be
ing covered with huge welts and cuts,
aud no IL suffering very great pain,
The beating given him IL one Of the
most dastardly Outrages ever perpetra'
ted In this Vicinity, and II the negro IL
caught II will fare hard with him. The
police are straining every nerve In the
hunt for him, and hope before long TO
bring him TO time. No reason for his
