Two ofticers Murdered by Burglars.

CHICAGO, August Is. "A mysterious
double murder was committed about 70
o'clock last night at Geneva. Kane County,
Ills, 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
Court house, and some dozen shots were
heard by the residents in the neighbour
hood, given in quick succession, at about
midnight, but no one left bed to find
ont the cause of the turmoil, and It was
reserved for a party Of merry makers re-
turning from picnic, at about l O'Clock, TO
find the bodies of the murdered men and
raise the alarm. Officer McNatt wac found
dead with bullet hole in the region of the
heart, his revolver, with five of its cham
hers 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
diving ont. He was taken home, a few
blocks distant, and died on the way. There
is as yet no clew to the perpetrators OF the
crime, but il is surmised that both officers
died iii the discharge of their duty, There
have been several attempted burglaries in
the town OF late, the lest 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 cutie
distance apart from each other.

in contact with Texas cattle in transit from
the West, To-day six cattle in the city
died of the disease. The mortality in the
outlying districts is great. Tonight the
Mayor issued a caution for all owners OF
cattle to keep them from running at large,

The Most Remarkable Recovery on Record
what Tobacco win DO.


OIL CRY, PA, August 2T.-Henry Sutton
is seemingly about to make one OF the most
remarkable recoveries on record. A little
more than two weeks ago, while engaged
n agitating an oil.well owned by Collins &
Thompson, at Stone Hill, near Warren, he
attached an iron rod, known as the polish
rod, to the sand pump line, and lowered II
TO the bottom of the well. A sudden rush
OF gas threw the rod from the well and
about thirty feet into the air,
and in falling III struck Sutton on
the right side of the neck, came out on
the side below the breast-bone, entered
again at the hip and emerged from the
flesh below the knee. The vital organs
We're not penetrated, but 1t was Thought
there was very little hope of his recovery
In spite of this Sutton has continued 10
improve Notwithstanding the fact that his
physicians say that 995 out of every
1000, 900 such cases would die in less than a
minute after the accident, and that II
wonld be almost impossible for even
knitting needle TO follow the course
through mans body which this iron rod
did without entering number OF large
arteries, whereas the rod which passed
through Sutton was three quarters OF an
inch in diameter. A dispatch from W ar
rem to-day SAYS: sutton is getting along
nicely and gives every indication OF arapld
recovery, He sits up in bed and smokes
habit which has a very strong hold ON
him, but II has been a source OF strength
rather than anything else."

The Pittsburg trunk Horror.

chicago, May 4-Francisco Caruso,
brother of the man whose dead body
was shipped in a trunk from this city
to Pittsburg, called at the police head
quarters and stated that he and the de-
ceased were engaged in the business of
peddling lemons and that at 9 O'Clock
last Thursday morning Philippe left
the house at 70 Tilden avenue,
where the brothers lived, for
the ostensible purpose of finding
q market in some suburban town for his
lemons. That was the last seen of the
dead man by bis friends, and Francisco
Caruso says that when his brother left
the house he had between 5000 and $500
in his possession besides the draft found
in his pocket.
Whoever killed the unfortunate man
did the work very expeditiously, for his
body was packed in trunk and checked
at the Union depot at II 80 O'Clock, just
two and a half hours after he left home.
Andrew Russo, q man locked up at the
Desplanes street station on Suspicion OF
being implicated IN the crime has told
SO many conflicting tales about the mat
ter that the officers are inclined to think
I.tbat he is the murderer. When first ar
| rested Russo admitted he knew Phil1ipO
but denied the acquaintance with his
relatives, Yesterday francesca was con
| fronted with the prisoner and recognized
him as an acquaintance. Officers Nc
Donald and Bonfield. who have the case
| in charge, expect to unearth some i'm
| pOrtant facts to-day.

ATTEMPTED AssAssrNATEOY

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
This is the heading OF telegram pub
lished In the Globe Democrat of yester-
day, in which it is asserted that three
shots were fred at President Cleveland
and party as they were returning from
Gettysburg to Washington. The at
tempted ASSASSINATION, If it may be called
that, was very feeble effort, and the
question involved is whether it was an
attempted assassination at all or whether
1t was the firing salute of some Democrat.
&c enthusiast. However deep the mystery
of the affair, there are some facts that
cannot be denied. President Cleveland
and party were returning from a visit 10
the battle field of Gettysburg safely
sheltered in palace car. As they pass
ed through the country near Hanover,
Pennsylvania, some one fired three shots
in rapid succession. The shots were
heard by the passengers in the train and
of course the balls were intended fol
Cleveland. The would be assassin, we
suppose, was a disappointed office
seeker, but like many other of1ce-seek-
ers, missed his aim and the entire train
escaped without scratch. However, il
was q narrow escape for the president
and recalls the adventure OF Washington
when fired at by an Indian in ambush
as he returned from Fort du Quense tc
the governor in Virginia. We Suggest
to the Democratic press that congratu
iations to the president for his hair
breadth escape are now in order, but We
are puzzled whether to hurrah for hi
almost miraculous deliverance or for hi
timely tribute-a salute OF the rounds.
