Horrible Double Murder,

A terrible tragedy was committed on the
afternoon of the 21st., in tlS house of John
Conway, a dairyman, living VI thickly -popu-
lated part of Kansas City, Mo. A neighbor
entering the house found Mrs. Conway and her
daughter Kate lying dead upon a bed in an
inner room, their skulls crushed in, and the
bed deluged with their blood, which was yet
warm. The girl was kneeling beside the bed,
her head upon the mothers body. Marks OF
blood were found on the kitchen floor, and the
weapon of death, car-coupling pin, was dis
covered in the alley, where il had been thrown.
About $50 in money is missing. The murders,
it is supposed, were committed by a tramp, who
attempted a criminal assault upon the mother,
and, being surprised by the girl, killed both.

SCARCITY OF POSTAL CARDS.

The stock of postal cards on hand is very
low at present and the multitude Of orders
daily received from post-ofices throughout the
country are not wholly flied, only part of the

the old ones TO as great extent as possible
before beginning on the new. There has been
Some delay IN printing the new cards, the
