THE DARK HILLS.
Brutal Wife Murder in Monroe
County.

The Woodsfeld Spirit of Democ racy
of Tuesday, contains the following ac+
count of a brutal wife murder. which
occurred in Monroe county on Sabbath
morning:
Down in Wayne township. this coun,
ty. about eight miles southwest of Woods
field, on the George Rose farm, terrible
tragedy occurred last Sunday morning
at the home of David Cenger.
Early Sunday morning COnger went to
the spring house for a pie which he ate
and then drank from lineup and threw
a quantity of the water upon one of his
small children. His wife told him not
to do that again, when he replied with
an oath that be would kill her if she did
not shut her mouth. She retorted that
he might just as well kill her then if be
wanted to.
TAKEN AT HER WORD.
Conger Immediately seized the coffee
pot and struck her in the face and on
the head. The poor woman ran out on
the porch followed by her demon of a
husband who knocked her off the porch,
which is high one, then picked up an
ak and struck her on the aim cutting 1t
almost off. Then he struck her again
with the poll of the ak in the forehead,
mashing her skull and rendering her un-
conscious. All this time the children
were screaming and calling for help.
One of the boys started to a neighbor s,
and Conger followed threatening to kill
him if he did not stop, but the boy ran
on and escaped.
Conger Immediately went to J. w.
StrickliRg, Justice of the Peace, and
informed the Squire and Mr.. Pollen that
he had killed his wife. In the afternoon
a summons came for DR.. Farquhar, and
Prosecutor briggs and Sheriff Lude were
informed of the affair. Together they
visited the scene of the tragedy.
THE VICTIM DIES.
Or. Farquhar found Mrs. Conger un+
conscious, her skull mashed in, and gave
it as bis opinion that her death was only
a question of a few hours. She fingered
until 4 o'clock Monday. morning, when
she died.
The scene at the house was trying
one. Six children were weeping about
the form of their unconscious mother,
and many kind hearted mothers were
trying to console them, but the heartr
broken children could do nothing but be-
wall the sad fate of their mother. Will
ing hands and kind hearts, and many of
them, were there, but their efforts to
console the bereft and afflicted survivors
in such an hour were of no avail.
Conger was arrested and committed
to Jail on Sunday evening.

The Akron Beacon, whose editor is a
stalwart Prohibitionist and steadiast Re-
publican, and a Christian gentleman as
well, says;
DR.. LeonRrd's challenge of Judge Foraker
10 a joint discussion OF the tissues between
the Prohibition and Republican parties was
piece OF impertinence answered by Republi-
can Chairman Bushnell rs it deserved. The
very proposition dignihes the Prohibition
party of Ohio into prominence, as a
political factor, that it does not de-
serve. Its acceptance would imply that the
ProhibitIonists of Ohio were something more
than the wreckers their leaders boldly pro-
claim them TO be. The Republican psrty's
history is a history Of up-buildng. It would
not comport with that history to turn ide
and camly discu :, with those who would de-
stroy the party, whether it is advisable that
it should longer live.
That reply of Captain Bushnells was
really a masterpiece, 1t knocked Brother
Thompson and Brother Leonard clear out
--non-suited them. Poor Thompson tried
to say something in reply, in the New
Error, but as here was nothing to be said
he proceeded to say it.

Mark Twain has recently written one OF
the most sensible utterances that ever
came from him, with reference to the good
behavior and thorough training Of his
children In this he refers to Mrs llar-
riet Beechcr Stowe, Charles Dudley War
ner and his other Hartford neighbors as
witnesses lie attributes this goodness to
his wife's training. He emphasizes the
point in her discipline that no promise is
broken to the youngsters, whether it in
wolves a whipping or picnic. In admin
istering corporal punishment she invaria-
bly, lets a few hours elapse between the
sentence and the execution, so that no
anger on her part shall enter into the mat
ter, and he aiTirms that the child never
goes away from the scene of torture until
it has been loved back into happy hearted
ness and a joyful spirit" Twain couldn't
put more practical sense than this CON
tains in whole book.

The recent reports concerning Mrs.
GariIcld's endowment of the Garfield
hospital, and other gossip about the
widow OF the martyr president, have
created some curiosity about the lady s
financial condition, writes CORE
spondcnt Of the Cincinnati Eagutrer.
An intimate friend OF Mrs, Garfield, re-
siding in this city, gives the following
description of her estate: The sub
scrlption raised through the instru-
mentality of Cyrus w. Field aggrcgat-
cd, when invested in government
bonds, S3l2,O 900 Gcn. Gariield's life
was insured for S5O,OOO, the payment
OF which the companies, for tho sake
of the extended advertisement it would
give them, il for no other purpose,
promptly made. Congress also voted
her the remnant OF the salary which
would have been due Gcn. Garfield for
the first year of service as president,
which amounted TO $4,000 The lit,
tie estate which Garfield left aggrc-
gated $50, 900. This was all he had
been able to accumulate after life Of
unusual activity. This makes her to-
tai estate, in round numbers, about
$3.50, 900 in money we'll invested. From
this an income of probably SO 900 is
derived. In addition to that, she has
from congress an annual pension Of
70, 900. which IL now voted to the Wild
