two Policemen Murdered ia
Quiet Illinois Town.


CHICAGO, Aug. ga mysterious
double murder was committed about IL
o'clock last night at Geneva, Kane
county, ILL.,, the victims being two of
the three officers who constitute the police
force of the town.
The deed was committed right in the
centre of the quiet place, near the court
house and some dozen shots were heard
by the residents in the neighborhood,
given in quick succession, ut about mid
night, but no one left he'd to find ont the
cause of the turmoil and it was reserved
for purity of merry makers returning
from n picnic about o'clock, to find tho
bodies of the murdered men and raise the
alarm.
Officer McNott was found dead with n
bullet hole in the region of the heart, his
revolver with five of its chambers emptied
lying near him. McNott lay ut the south
east corner of the court house, and sew
eral rods away on the sidewalk was found
Officer Grant, also with bullet hole in
the breast. but on the right side. He was
still breathing slightly, hut was uncon-
scious, and the last life sparks were fast
dying out. He was taken home, II few
blocks distant and died on the way.

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 night or two before. II is
| supposed that last night the officers dis
covered the burglars either n work or
| leaving the scene of their unlawful
activity, and that in the attempt to arrest
them, the officers beirg separated, the
fatal shots we're fired by the thieves.
Grants pistol was found near his side,

Both Of the murdered officers hal en-
cellrmt regulations, and both leave large
families The possibility that their death
was due to u quarrel between themselves
is prccluhed by the fact that they were
good friends; that they we're seen late in
the evening IN ainicable intercourse and
that their bodies were found quite Il dis.

DELAWARE COLLEGE.


widely Appreciated.
Edttor Gdzette d. JoYrndl.: Upon visit
to the pleasant little town Of Newark, Il few
days since, it was my privilege to cx.
anime the improvements now being made
upon the college building: The main
wing has been extended, thereby in
creusing the recitation room convoniences,
greatly enlhging the main auditorium,
and adding SIX new and pleasant rooms
for the occupancy of the students. The
old part of the building has been gener-
ally renovated by the replacing of floors,
doors stairways, &C., with new ones A
new coat of paint, both inside aud out,
gives the building neat pleasant and
comfortable appearance.
Delaware College, after an existence Of
one'half century, now offers induce
ments never before possessed. Situated
upon the p, W. a. b., Il. q 7. and the
N. a. p. railroads at the head of the
Peninsula, which together with the neigh.
boring counties of New Jersey, Maryland
and Pennsylvania, has n population of
800, 900 inhabitants and 800, 900 pupils
in her public and preparatory schools, the
| college should with its recognized
| faculty open ON September ID with IL
large class of freshmen. The trustees
have abolished cocducation, which to
| some was objections lie.
The above tcrritor, with its pupil
population Of about 800, 900 has less thin
600 who are receiving collegiate training.
| The ratio of one in about 500 shows that
the modern advantages and cheapness of
n collegiate educ0tion'S have not been
properly impressed upon the public
mind.
| Our farmers should know that with
free scholarships in the hands of our
| legislators and the cheap board ut New
ark, they can give their sons an educa-
ton, almost at their own doors, that will
enable them to compete with the world.
Delaware College has done and is doing n
| good work. By IN examination of her
catalogues We find her alumni have held
and are holding high and honored posi-
tions i'll the church, society and State
She has prepared many Of the States most
successful teachers.
Parents who have decided to send their
boys TO college should remember their
duty 10 their own State institution, send
for catalogue and compare it with other
colleges. Parents who are not alive to
the duty they owe their children and the
State should send for catalogue and
learn that though they may not give them
riches they can give them an education.
We believe the public will accept the
advantages now offered by this time
honored institution. ALuMus.

Six NsOunQh-NO DGctehbus
There was not so large gathering at
Cincinnati on Saturday as was expected
to see the Sullivan MEG affrey fight.
William Tate of Toledo, o., was chosen
referee. Six rounds were. fought, the
only blood brought being that from
McCaffrey's nose in the fourth round.
The fight all through was considered
tame. At the end of the sixth round
there was shout for McCaffrey, who, 1t
was supposed, had won the match.
He had stood up against Sullivan
through six rounds, and seemed able and
willing to go on to a finish. He was
overwhelmed with congratulations, while
Sullivan was left to be cared for by his
stage attendants only. As the crowd
understood the terms, IL was draw, and
thus virtual victory for the young Pitts.
burg boxer. But after some time, when
three fourths of the people had started
for the train, and while the remainder
were in loud discussion of the
merits Of the match, Mr.. Muldoon
made an announcement, which only few
heard, that the referee had decided 10
give the match to Sullivan, on the ground
that he had made the greater number of
points.
The alleged decision was decidedly un-
popular, probably owing to the doubtful
understanding of the terms. 1t was
generally supposed that Sullivan was to
knock McCaffrey out in six rounds or less
in order to win, and McOaffrey himself
stated, after the match was over, that he
thought so. He even wanted to go on Ia
finish, but that was impossible, as Sulli.
van had left the platform.
Concerning the Sullivan Oaffrey
fight the Commercial Telegram said Mon.

Sunday evening and questioned as to

He has made no decision. He thinks
Sullivan had the best of the fight so fai
as fighting points were concerned, but il
he was TO knock out McCaffrey in 81,
rounds he failed, as the latter came VI
smiling every round Tate has not seer
the agreement under which they fought
and cannot, in consequence, render de
cision."

1t seems after all that the Grant memo

extent of $4,000, through the disputes
between Cyrus W. Field and D. Fl. Bates,
of the Western Union and Baltimore and

afternoon, at New York, publ ly offered
to deposit $4,000 certified check with

The Philadelphia Ledger prints inter.
views with a number of leading business
men of that city with reference to the
revival of trade, who agree in talking
quite hopefully of the present outlook.
There is very marked improvement in
business, steady, quiet revival which
indicates that the day of falling prices,
scant purchases and diminished stocks
has passed and the inevitable reaction
has set in. The Ledger trusts that re.
turning confidence will not be " shaken
by unwise tariff legislation" a
contamination deyoutly to be wished,
since all will agree that unwise legislation
is likely to prove worse than no legisla-
ton at all, though there may be room for
considerable honest difference of opinion
as to what constitute wisdom and folly
in dealing with the business interests of
the country. Constituted as the next
Congress will be we think the chances are
that the coming session Of that body will
be productive of no tariff legislation
whatever there will doubtless be great
ideal of talk but very little action.

IN d lengthy letter to the New York
s1H. Rufus Hatch analyses the wheat
Statistics and deducrs thcrufrom that, if
We export half as much wheat As so did
last year, We shall not huyc Il bushel left
NJ the beginning of the harvest of 1886
Hli should the crop of 1856 be no
largor than tnu crop OF 1855 We should be
importing wheat within Is months, and
ii would be selling ut famine prices. s."
Our wheat crop has been short this year,
and there is no country in the world that
has n full average crop, while many fall
Ear below the average. Therefore, Uncle
Rufus continues, the farmer is to-day the
master of the situation, and it is
his own fault if he does not
make the most of ii. If he will hold his
wheat at 81 at the station, Che is con-
sidering here more particularly the large
growers of the northwest), he will get his
price and by selling half as much as he
did last year lie will receive more money
for his sales and still have some wheat
left to carry over TO another year. y
Farmers with wheat TO sell will read Mr..
Iiotchs letter with interest, and in the
hope that his predictions will prove true
for il is human nature that theseller should
rejoice over the prospect of rising
market. But the consumers of wheat
vastly outnumber the producers, and
there are many of these consumers who
through lack of employment, low wages
and other causes, find it as much as they
can do now to get bread enough 10 thrive
