Alexander Troup of Connecticut is en-
titled to public thanks for his manly, upright
straightforward and sensible way Of dealing
with political appointments. He is a Demo-
crat holding an office of great political in
fuence, and he says plainly that he means to
have none but Democrats under him. Every
genuine American of whatever party will do
honor to Alexander Troup Would there
were more like him!
THE DEMOCRACY AS APPROPRIATION ABTY
Gov. Hoadly.
We are opposed to. sumptuary legislation
and in favor of licensing the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors. We believe in self control.
and that the true remedy against the tempta-
lions of liquor drinking is to make happy
homes, and that personal liberty should not
be destroyed by law, except where its exer-
else is always wrong. No man seeks to Ii
cense houses of iii fame or gambling houses,
simply because the wrong in such cases is in
the use and not in the abuse; but the traffic
in intoxicating liquors is the legitimate sub
ject of license, because the use is beneficial
and only the abuse injurious and destructive
This would be done if the Democrats were
successful in carrying the State.

Two officers Murdered by Burglars.

CHICAGO, August pa mysterious
double murder was committed about IL
O'Clock last night at Geneva, Kane County,
HIS, the victims being two of the three
officers who constitute the police force of
the town. The deed was committed right
in the center of that quiet place, near the
Courthouse, and some dozen shots were
heard by the residents in the neighbor-
hood, given in quick succession, at about
midnight, but no one left bed to find
out the cause of the turmoil, and it was
reserved for party of merry makers re-
turning from picnic, at about O'Clock, to
nnd the bodies OF the murdered men and
raise the alarm. Officer McNatt was found
dead with bullet hole in the region of the
heart, his revolver, with five of its cham
bers emptied, lying near him. McNatt lay
at the southwest corner of the Courthouse,
and several rods away, on the sidewalk,
was found Officer Grant, also, with bull
let hole in the breast, but on the right
side, still breathing slightly, but un-
conscious, and the last life sparks fast
dying out. He was taken home, few
blocks distant, and died on the way. There
is as yet no clew to the perpetrators of the
crime, but it is surmised that both officers
died in the discharge of their duty. There
have been several attempted burglaries in
the town of late, the last one occurring but
a night or two before. 1t is supposed that
last night the officers discovered the burg
lars either at work or leaving the
scene of their unlawful activity, and that
in the attempt to arrest them, the
officers being separated, the fatal shots
were fired by the thieves. Grants pistol
was found near his side, four chambers
being empty. Both murdered officers have
excellent regulations. Both the deceased
leave large families. The possibility that
their death was due to quarrel between
themselves is precluded by the fact that
they were good friends; that they were seen
late in the evening in amicable intercourse,
and that their bodies were found quite .
distance apart from each other.

A Sad Affair.

READING, Pa, August GA special
from Perkiomen Junction gives particulars
of a horrible burning affair at Perkiomen
junction, Montgomery County, of a lovely
young lady named Jennie Kulp, of Green
Lane, where she was staying at Herring's
Hotel. She was engaged in writing let
ter to gentleman friend, in her bedroom,
when she fell asleep. She probably moved
her arms while asleep, for the coal-oil
lamp was upset, saturating he cloth
ing and setting it on fire. The
room showed that the poor girl must
have had terrible struggle. The door
was locked and she screamed and beat her
body against it, The plastering. was torn
from the wall with her fingers in her agony.
When finally the proprietor, Mr.. Herring,
heard her screams and opened the door of
her room, she dashed out and through the
house and up and down the stairs until
she fell down in swoon, her clothing all
burned off her body, and her face
and head literally roasted to the
bone. She died this morning. Mr.. Her
ring in his efforts to catch her was severely
burned, the girl in her agony throwing her
arms about him and burning his face,
neck and hands. A child with her in the
room was also burned. What makes the
affair all the more sad is the fact that Miss
Kulp was engaged to be married, and the
letter she was writing was In reference to
some arrangements for their coming we'd
ding. She was unusually beautiful.

Suffering at Sea.

HALIFAX, N. g., August 2s.-The steamer
Nova Scotian, which arrived here to-day
from Liverpool. brought from st. Johns,
N. F., Captain Seablossom and twenty -one
of the crew of the American whaling brig
Isabella, which was lost in the ice in Hud-
sons Straits. The Isabella sailed from New
Bedford on May 27, 1884, and entered the
ice pack on July II. She was crushed in
the ice on the Goth of the same month,
twenty miles north of North Bluff. All of
the crew, twenty three in number, and
a stowaway, were saved. They wandered
about ON the ice for four days, suffering
intensely from the cold. They finally
reached settlement called Acalier, and
remained there until September 8, when
the whaler Ezra arrived off the place. and
they were all taken on board and kindly
cared for, but owingto the scarcity of food
on the Ezra both crews had to be put on
short allowance. While on board the Ezra
one of the Isabella's crew, a Swede named
Francis Pemro, died of scurvy. The rest
of the men are all in good health.

Riotous Bank Depositors.

ERIE, PENN, August 29.-Great excits-
ment prevailed hire this afternoon in con-
nection with a meeting of the stockholders
of the suspended German Savings Bank.
The meeting was called to see whether the
stockholders would or not meet the liabili-
ties. A dense crowd of excited depositors
gathered around the bank, and their atti-
tude became SO threatening that a force
of police was detailed to keep the
peace. The mob closed around every
door of the bank, while the stockholders
had their secret meeting within. At last
it was announced by the assignee that with
one exception all the stockholders had
signed an agreement to pay up in propor-
tion to their stock, provided that Treasurer
Eliot pay back the amount of 36S shares
sold by himself as bank treasurer shortly
before the bank suspended. William
Slenger. who would not sign, was detained
prisoner in the bank by the furious de-
positors, and was only liberated upon his
signing at the last. But for the course
adopted serious outbreak was imminent.

A. Purdie, of the Fourth Regiment Illinois
National Guard, wounded during sham
battle at the State encampment, near OF
tawa, two weeks ago, died here to-day
from lockjaw induced by his injuries.
Great indignation prevails against the
First Illinois Cavalry Regiment, which is
held responsible for the death. State
ments were publicly made after
against certain other regiments, and
had gone into the fight with the precon-
certed design of manning as many of its
opponents as possible. The vicious fight
ing and number of casualties that charac-
terized the battle excited much comment at
the time. Private Purdie leaves wife
and four children in INDECENT circum-
stances. The coroner will hold an inquest
to morrow, and if the guilty persons can

Cauaht in His Own Irap.

GRANVILLE, VT, August 26.-Ira Lin
nell, with several other young men, has
been spending the past week in the woods
trapping bears. On Sunday morning he
went to visit a distant bear trap to which
only weekly visits were paid, and, although
he did not return when expected, no anx-
iety was felt by his friends. Late Monday
afternoon farmer happened to pass near
the trap in question and thought to exam
inc it. Listening in vain for any indica-
ton of the presence of bear, he opened
the trap, and there, in fainting condi-
tion, he found young Linnell. 1t appears
that he had gone inside of the trap, big
box-lid affair for catching animals alive,
touched the spring that closed the door,
and he found himself imprisoned. For
thirty-six hours he remained in his prison
with no water and but little air, and his
only food vas the raw meat with which
the trap was haited, and which hunger
finally compelled him to eat.

A Smart Washing Machine AGENT,

OLNEY, ILL.,, August %. About two
weeks ago man came to Olney, giving his

hired horse>and buggy, taking the ma

his note for the same. The note was af-
forwards changed so as to read $500, and
was offered by Meyer to A. Morris for a
road scraper, he, Morris, to pay him a
cash difference. On inquiry Morris ascer-

good, and made the trade. He then effect

day, and in answer to an inquiry
said he had given his note for only
three dollars. Hustling is a faint
description of Laudenberger's movements
