abandoned Capt A. G. Sweetzer was president
of the day. Gen. John A. Logan delivered the
grafton, which was very fine, and enthusiastic
ally received by the large audience that thronged
the theater. General Logan was received with
unbounded applause The most striking features
of his address were his reference to General
Grant and the Nations policy of Cancellation and
forgivness. In referring to Grant he said: 'That
great warrior who led our hosts to victory-who
sprang, like thousands of Others from the ranks
Of private life, who came like Cinelnnatus from
the pillow, and carried in his hand the pregnant
destinies of national life; who rallied under
the standard the lnvincible citizen
soldiery of the North; who illustrated
in his genius the characters of
citizen and soldier, of warrior and statesman,
equally fitting mark out campaigns and pre-
side at the head of a nation-may God spare
him." Speaking of Cancellation and forgiveness,
he said Cancellation and forgiveness are well
enough, but they have gone on the rampage, and
apologies have been as thick as leaves that
strew the wales of Vallambrosa. Apologies for
what? Why, for loving our country! for hating
treason! for overpowering rebellion, and believ
ing that it was wrong to destroy the govern
ment!"
General Logan held reception this morn
ing, and thousands visited him. Among
them was ex-senator David Davis
Senator Davis greeted General Logan warmly
and seemed very much affected. He congratu-
lated General Logan on his election, and re-
marked, well, General, am truly glad you got
there" Mrs. Logan held reception this even
ing at the residence of General McNulta, and
many of the ladies of the city called on her.

They Add Ferocious Assault and Probable
Murder to Their Record-Two Brothers
Their Victims.
GREENsBURG, PA, January l6.
A terrible and brutal outrage oc-
Cured Wednesday night at Everson.
Two brothers, Adam and Christopher
Keck, are the proprietors of the Vance
House in Everson and store-room adj
joining the hotel, of which 1t was part.
To carry an insurance on the store-room
1t had to be occupied, and on the second
floor of the room Adam Keck slept.
He had retired to his bed, and at IL 80
O'Clock his brother heard noise there,
and started for the store, arriving at the
door, which was open, he was knocked to
the floor, and two men dressed in regular
Indian costume with their faces painted
red, feathers on their heads and blankets
around them jumped on him and beat him
cruelty. Had it not been for his wife,
who heard his cries and rushed out into
the street and cried murder they would
undoubtedly have killed him. When
Mrs. Keck gave the alarm, the burg
lars fed, and in q short time crowd
collected. Chris. Keck was carried into
the house.
A party went to the store, and In
the back part of the room found
him lying on the floor gagged
and bound. The gag was removed,
and he was asked what happened. His
reply was, 81 don't know" after that he
didn't speak again, and has since been
unconscious.
The burglars had, previous to their de-
parture secured considerable property,
and some money, but the extent of the
loss is not exactly known.
The condition of Adam Keck is very
serious, and he will probably die. His
head was crushed on the back part, and
his ribs were broken.
A man who gave his name as A. Coff.
man was arrested yesterday between La
trobe and Derry, charged with completely
In the robbery, and is now in jail. He
will be taken to Everson to be identified
Popular indignation is at fever heat.

PERISHING CATTLE.
Texas Cattle Drifting and Dying From
Exposure.

Texas Cattle Drifting and Dying From
Exposure.
AUSTIN, TEX, January Is.
Brinkley Otel, one of the largest cattle
owners in the State, arrived here yester-
day from the Sweetwater locality, where
SO many cattle are reported as having
drifted. He says that the reports have
not been exaggerated, and that against
the wire fencing running along the Texas
Pacific west of Fort Worth there are over
100000 head of cattle, and they are dying
at the rate of nearly 1000 day from cold,
hunger and thirst. The situation, he says,
Is simply dreadful. The cattle will not
turn against the north winds and seek
other sections for food, and there is not
sufficient help in that locality to turn
their heads and drive them elsewhere. At
present no effort is being made to drive
them out, and unless something is done
with but little delay the immense herds in
that section must soon dwindle to moth
ing. Most of the cattle men at the meet
ing OF the Live Stock Association in this
city left for their homes this morning, and
1t ls thought that they may make an effort
to save the herds now in such sore dis
tress, whether they own them or not. No
effort at concerted action was made while
they were here.
