A Disgrace.

The police complain of the troubles
caused them by frequent disreputable
dances, given in the vicinity of the univer
sity, which end in a row, and compel them
TO tramp out there emily 10 find the guilty
parties gone, and no clue by which they
can be arrested. These rag dances are the
most vicious and dangerous institutions,
and the community which permits them
will bring odor upon itself. No
parent who respects the character of his
child, especially if that child be daugh-
ter, can afford to allow them to visit such
places, and unless something is done to
prevent this cess pool of crime the BAzoo
will feel itself compelled to speak 10 plain
terms, and give the names of the parties
giving and participating in them. One OF
these affairs was given last
night which ended in the
demolishing of the furniture and q free
fight, but when Officer Wentzleman, who
was called to quell the disturbance, arrived
be found the place deserted with the ex-
ception of the residents of the place and
two girls, none of whom would give him
information that would enable him to ar
rest the rioters.

the penitentiary the senfeuce of Frank
HOpkirk, who with Thomas Browrfield.
wAs TO have ben hung at Clinton, Henry
county next Friday. Brown6eld and Hop
kirk murdered. for the purpose Of robbing
him, an old farmer named JIhn E. Wells,
February 20, 1854 They Were tried for
the crime, found guilty, and sentenced
to &c uh. They sppesltd to the SUI
preme court, where the sentence of the
lower court was affirmed HopkIrk, who
is of good fami Y, was only IL years old
ami the prevailing impression in Henry
county is that he was Influenced to the
commission of the crime by Brown6eld,
who is older, and whose previous reputa-
ton was bad. Though legally guilty, he
was not so morally culpsbie as his older
companion. This ives distinction which
neither the trial court nor the SUI
preme court would make, they being
bound to consider only the legal
aspects Of the case. An sp; ell being ID ade
to the COVER or by Mrs. H. pkirk, Of Wind
sor, Mo-, and Nrs. b. +. Craudall, of Par
sons, Kss mother ard sister of the con-
DE- mned NJ n, In his behalf, and being sup

Of leading cit zens OF Henry county, he
commuted HOpkirk's s-nter &c to imprison-
ment for life, basing bis action on subStan-
TALLY the reasons given above.

mitted 10 make associates OF those who
were. and soon became known as aecid
eddy fast youth, full of bluster, blow and
dime novel knowledge. He and Thomas
Rrownfield became boon compositions and
the fact that his mother bad no love Tor
Weeks soon led him to lend an ear to
Brown6eId's abuse of his former employer
and to sympaihise in his determiDa-
tioL 10 take vengeance. Thus matters
stood when some few days prior 10 the
commItsl of their crime, the boys con-
cluded TO strike out west In search
of adventures and sphere
congeniai to their imaginary proves and
acquired loose tastes and habits. To &C.
complisk this end Frank stole Sl20 from
his mother, and they departed. Failing to
End the paradise they were In search Of and
finding their funds about gone, they re-
turned, and then IL was with the further an
centive of Imaginary gniH that they deter
mined to carry out the terrible crime,
doubtless often before neditsted, and
stealing their way to the home OF John Z
Wells they asssssinated hin in cold blood,
secured what money they could find, one
nickel, destroyed his gun, robbed has
corpse of his watch, threw It away, were
apprehended, tried, convicted, sentenced,
and commuted to imprisonment for life,
which means that fifteen years hence, pro-
vided they live so long and conduct them
selves With proper decorum in the observ-
ance of prison rules they will be turned
loose witt all the evil knowledge SO long N
association with the worst criminals can
give them, to again prey upon society If
they desire, or if they can, thereafter lead
quiet, moral lives.
Brown6eld will then be sc years old and
Hopkirk so. Should they, however, by
unruly conduct, incur the full penalty OF
the law, they must serve the state i've
wears longer, to come oat at the ages OF Al
and 81, for the Limitation of simple life
sentence is twenty years. Don't forget the

Wells came there. Thomas WIS not cen

II yeats of age and owing to the I'M
harmonious relations existing between bis
parents, he YVES allowed to run pretty
much as be pleased and acquired habits
and passions which soon brought him into
disrepute among respectable people and
led him into very vile associations. Not,
however, being altogether shiftless, he
found occasional employment among his
neighbors and at one time with jain E.

only incentive he had for the murder OF
his former employer was the fact that be

attacked the old man, for which offense he
was arrested and fined. This
punishment instead of proving beneficial

A Sketch OF the Murderers and
Their Viclim.

The communication by Governor Marina
duke. of the death sentence of Thomas
Brown6eld and Frank Hopkirk, who were
10 have been hanged in Clinton. Mo-, To-
dsy for the murder of John Z. Wells, on
the night of February %, 1884, TO imprls-
onment for life in the penitentiary is the
all absorbing topic in Henry and adjacent
counties. AS will be seen in yesterdays
BAzoo. the matter has ereared the most in
tense exciteme aud even bitterness to-
ward fine governor at Windsor, the home
of the prisoners and thear victim. That
Governor Marmaduke was controlled 10
his actions by purely honest convictions is
very apparent, as The conditions oil the lam
lilies of the culpri,s is sueh as to preclude
any suspicion of the use OF money In the
matter, and thus far he is TO be commended,
but whether he sc,ed wisely or in good
judgment is different question.
The only possible palliation for such an
interference in the law of the land is the
youth of the prisoners, aud even then there
can be no denying that very bad prece,
dent has BEEN established for The outset OF
q four years administration. The crime
for which Hopkirk and Brown6eld were
sentenced is one OF the most cold blOoded,
delibera ate and atrocious in the history OF
the state, and void of a single palliatiDg
circumstance. 1t had, too. one OF the most
impartial hearings and ablest defences ever
given any cas-, aid in addition received

The victim of the atrocious crime, as his
likeness above indicates, was an honest
quiet, industrious farmer, void OF offense
toward any one, we'll liked by his ueigh-
bors and of good chr stan repute. Mr..
Wells was born in York county, Penpsyl-
vsnia, end resided there until about three
years before the dresdful tr'g dy, which
eliminated in his death when at the earn
est solicit ,tion of his brother, Ben HI. Wells,
who had for twenty years resided in
Henry county, John E. Wells joined him
On his farm near Windsor. Eighteen
months later John E. Wells returned 10
Pennsylvania, married ard came back TO
settle permanently in Henry county, where
he remained until his murder, eizhteen
months afterward at the age OF 63 years
The particulars of The horrible crime are
too familiar TO need recapitulation here.
