sHERMAN's MARCH TO THE SEA

TO the Editor Of the Daily Ea0te:
One of the prime necessities of good
high school is reliable and comprehensive
work of reference. Ths An1Fican Reprint
of the Eucoclopsdis Britaajss il in my opin-
ion by fsr tie BET work publishsd in this
country. I hsss made arrangements BY
which this mammoth collection of literature,
consisting Of twenty-one royal quarto vol
umee, and compromising the entire range
Of classified knowledge, can be placed in
the high school library without actual cost
to anyone.
Col. r. p. Pindley, of Fremont, Ohio. has
but few rivals and no superior as military
lecturer. He is now filing series Of sue
cessful engagements in the eastern part of
this state. He will deliver his most popular
lecture. "Shsrman's March 20 the Sea" at
the high school building, on Thursday even
ing, January Goth.
During the summer season Col. Findley
operates for the publishing house of J. Stod-
dart & Co., of Philadelphia, who are now
issuing the ninth revised edition Of the En-
cyclopedia Britianica. Being personal
friend of mine, have secured his services
on the following plan:
have subscribed for complete set of the
Britannia, which l propose to donate to the
high school library. Col. Findley has con-
sented to take as his fee for lecturing, the
commission on the sale, and allow the entire
proceeds to be used in paving for the ency-
elopedia. Concerning his lecture, the Ak
tell (Kas.) Visitor says:
Thoss who failed TO hear the brilliant dis
course OF Col. X. p. Findley last night
missed rare intellectual treat. We were
fortunate in being present and wandered
down in spirit, with the gifted speaker In
"Sherman's March to the Sea-" The story
was never better told or its accompanying
incidents portrayed in language more vivid
or soul stirring than by Col. Findley.
From the Bloomington QA.) Pantagraph
quote the following:
No address in this place in u long while
has so stirred up the deep fountain of feeling
of the entire audience as did that of Col.
Findley last night
The lecture will be fully advertised and
tickets put on sale during the coming week.
In this connection wish also to state that
literary, musical and scientific entertain
ment will be given by the pupils of the high
school on Saturday evening, January IL.
An excellent programme has been prepared
consisting of vocal and instrumental music
destinations, essays, electrical experiments,
the interesting and amusing tragedy of spy
raneus and Thysbe" and adapted from
Shakcspeare's Midsummer Nights Dream,
and other exercises. All friends and patrons
of the school are cordially invited.

The bombshell that a short time ago fell
in the midst OF the Steinwsy qusrtette and
promised to scatter il to the -four winds Of
heaven. has consumed the fuse, and as the
explosion has not followed promptly, it is
hoped that the powder may prove to be wet
and that the favorite four may be spared to
the city. In other words, one Of the absen"
tees has returned, and the other threatened
deserter may be prevailed upon to stay in
town, and # SO, Richard, or any other man,

Stewart & Boyle shipped five thorobred

sold an extra fine September pig to j. NJ.
Canlet, Crystal Springs, Harper county.
This makes over 20 head of Poland Chinas
sold BY this enterprising firm for breeding
purposes since the fair last fall when their
herd carried Off about all the prizes they
competed for. With fat hogs up to 81 per
100 and corn only 20 cents per bushei, it
looks to man gazing from an elevation,
that there il money in hogs, be they thor

length. snying that they were likely to
interfere seriously with the raising Of funds
for the monument. 6ni asking her TO make

to blame for it herself
He says Bowling agreed that his wife

man was introduced By General Malone
as the foremost statesman Of the country,
TO whose warm heart and love for every

Malone esteemed it as great
honor to have been granted the
privilege Of introducing tie distinguished
Senator from Ohio to Virginia audience

IsIn his speech he said that Grover Cleve'

THE CHICAGO TRAGEDY.
The Latest Reports of the Remarkable
Affair

The Latest Reports of the Remarkable
Affair.
CHICAGO, October 29.-Miss Walters and
Mrs, Goode, the victims Of last nigh, s
shooting, are half sisters, and came origin
ally from FL Paso, ILL.,, where their parents
reside. They had been working in Dun s
St. Paul office until it was burned out,
about year ago, when they came here
with excellent credentials. They have
been living with L. S. Gillette, at the cor
ner of Cortland and Heine streets, and that
gentleman gives them an excellest char
acter as being quiet, unobtrusiye, very at
fectionate toward each other, and hard
workers Mrs. Goode separated from her
husband about two years ago.
Various motives are assigned for the
crime committed. by those who have been
associated in the work with Burns and his
victims during the past three years, but
they are Of too trivial nature TO call for
credence. They consist principally of pet
ty quaIrels which have taken place, and
an i'll feeling which has always seemed TO
exist among the three. Burns came here
before the woman, and when they arrived
with their credentials went TO the manager
and alleged to him that the papers were
forged and made aspersions upon the
characters ct the new employees. These
remarks he repeated about the office until
he was notified that he must stop talking
or stop working. Last week the quarrel
again sprang up through a severe rehec
ton Burras made of Miss Walters and Mrs.
Good while be was engaged in dispute
with another clerk. He was told that he
must apologize, but as he refused to do 90,
he was discharged last Tuesday evening.
The motive OF the crime apparently
comes out with the old story Of woman's
scorn and jealousy, and WAS given re.
porter last night at la:e interview with
Mrs Bnrras, the criminals wife. She is a
very pretty and charming woman, and had
scarcely recovered from the sickness cor
ssquent upon giving birth to child three
weeks ago when the present shock came.
When first visited last night she was utter
ly prostrated under the care Of doctor,
and almost unable to tell what she knew.
She and her husband have bsen living in
pleasantly furnished rooms on LaSalle
avenue.
Burris WAS picture Of detection es he
sat in his cell at the Armory this morning.
With his face buried in his hands, he sat
brooding over what he had DONE but re
fused 10 tell about the deed. Mrs. Burrss,
the wife Of the asgassin, WAS much prostra.
ted by the shocking tragedy this morning.
Her sister said that Burras was very Gissi
pated in St Paul and elsewhere before he
came to Chicago. At 9 o'clock to-day
there WAS no change in The condition Of
the two wounded women. The physicians
could give no opinion as to their chances
Of recovery.
