A HIGH-TONED HORsE.THIEF.
Sensational Developments IN the Case OF
~ Robert Mcclure, Who Attempted
Suicide I'm Urbana Jail.

URnASA, o.. March 22.-Additional partic-
ulars in the tragedy are coming to light in
regard to Robert G. Mcclure, the horse-thief,
who shot himself in the City Prison, afte
being arrested for stealing Renigan's horse.
1t row begins to crop out that McCluae has
been engaged in that sort OF business for sew
eral years rast. His way heretofore hss
been to 20 down to the edge of Clarke
County, steal good horse, and then, before
daylight, ride distance of twenty CT thirty
miles across Champaign County, until he
would reach Miami County, aud there al
trace OF the missing horse was lost. lie had
a padded saddle and long cattle whip, whic
have been reported as travelling that road for
some time. but the owner could never be cap
tured until this time. Since his arrest several
horses that have been stolen IL the past two
years are traced 70 him, and people nov say
they have seen him with the animals. but
never supposed him to be guilty of that
ofiense before, His wife came over from
Troy Friday night. and the meeting between
ber and the husband was rather formal. He
has always stood high st Troy, and the an.
nouucement of his guilt was received with
something Of sensation in that nelgheor-
hood, as he was never before suspicio aed OF
such thing. He recently received patent
on horse collar that was supposed to be
proof sgainst horse stealing but had not vet
begun the manufacture of it.
Mcclure is an Odd Fellow and a member
OF the 6. A. r. telegram was received
nom the Noble Grand of the Piqua Lodge,
asking for full particulars of ths affair Nc
Clure said 10 his captors IL he killed himself
his wife would get 50 600 benefit money, but
II he lived be would be expelled from the
lodge. But the most probable resson as.
signed Is that, having always borne a good
name at Troy, and now being detected in his
crime, he sought to kill himself rather than
suffer the disgrace OF a trial. The indica
tDns are now that he may get well.

TEARS AT AN ALTAR.
a Young Eimira bride Deserted on the
Eve of Her Marriage.

ELMIRA, March % Miss Theresa Tuch is
young lady of Hebrew parentsgs. about
twenty years Of age. and the daughter OF q
merchant tailor OF this city. She lie a gradu-
ate Of the Eimira Free Academy and has
made quite local reputation by her ability
as pianist. She possesses an abundance OF
black, 1avy hair and the clear. dark COM
plexion of her race. ehe has moved in the
best circles OF society. At the academy she
acquired the reputation Of being bright
student, and Is vithal a most estimable aud
popular young woman. Miss Tuch met
her fate IN the person of Hiram
Hoppe. son of Nathan Hoppe. a prominent
merchant OF this city. The young man was
born and brought up IN Eimira, but few
years ago went West, locating in a small
town in Missouri. The courtship with Miss
Tuch, begun before he went away was con.
tinued through correspondence Finally the
nuptials were announced and the time fixed
for Thursday night at the residence of the
brides parents. a few days ago young
Hoppe. who Is a slsshing, good-looking
young fellow. came to Elmira 10 claim his
bride and take her to his Western home.
Wedding garments had been made, the feast
PREF AIRED, guests invited, and, apparently,
there were two hearts with but a single
thought about TO be united as one.
Thursday evening. Just before the time set
for the wedding, Ii bscame rumored about
that the young man was obstinate and would
not fulfill his vows Some claim that on the
strength of his approaching mar Rage he had
purchased s.. coo or $1,000 worth OF goods to
stock store a1d wished his future father
in.law to indorse his notes for that amount,
and that Mr.. Tuch refused. Others
say that 81, 500 promised as q wedding por-
ton was withheld for some reason, or that
only portion OF 1t was forthcoming Ger
tain il is that there was some misunderstand-
ing regarding the money arrangements, aud
last night, when part of the guests had as.
semblsd and the bride was ready, the young
man came not. Consequently there were
tears and lamentations. The young lady
took the matter much to heart, aud her
friends waxed wroth. The company finally
<is sed, muttering tmprscations on the
head of the unfaithful lover.
Friday morning the excitement had not
subsidized. Friends and relatives on bota
sides met and discussed the matter, and
threats of giving Mr.. Hoppe coat of tar and
feathers, riding him on rail, ETC., were
freely made. Finally towards noon IL WAS
announced that a settlement had been made
satisfactory to ell parties, and that the wed
ding bells would ring again on Sunday night,
when the groem would be on hand. On what
bass the settlement was effected could not
with eny certainty be ascertained.

A Mothers nranincaI Deed.

PAcIFIc, Mo-, March 22.-Mrs. Kruger,
who lives near Fox Greek bridge, on the
State Road, and who killed her little three
year-old girl on Thursday last by cutting of
her head with butcher knife, had delibsr-
stely planned the destruction of her two
little girls for some time. She commenced

band could see it. The note read:
'MY DEAR HUsRAaD-I will kill our dear
little children and myself, then the evil
spirit can never get u.s."
She then took two butcher knives and
ground them on q grindstone with
great care and made them very
sharp. She then told the eldest
of the two, who was but five years
of age, to play with her dolls in the other
room while she cut the'baby's head off with
the two knives that she had in her hand.
The little girl went out TO play, as directed
by the mother, but must have gone out
doors, for the child said: when l saw
mother with the bloody knives coming to
me l ran to Mr.. Waggoner's." The mother
ran after the child, bat did not catch her.
Mr.. Kruger came and restrained her until
his neighbor came TO his assistance.
The sight OF his wife, with bloody clothes
and bloody hands, and the two bloody knives
and the little white and bloodless face and
head of his child entirely separated from its
body. gradually but surely undermined his
reason, and he had to be held to prevent hi IN
from killing his wife. Mr.. Kruger has Ike ot

An EsquimO Gambling Game.

A favorite Esquimo amusement is to take
one of the long-handled musk-ox cups, and,
partially filling it with soup or strew, whirl il
around on board or fiat rock in the center
of group collected to play the game; the
person to whom the handle of the cup points
when it has stopped turning is the victor. and
can appropriate the contents of the cup. This
game is not so much played by the children
as by the old women of the tribe. and l am
sorry to say that this simple game is often
used bv them as a means of gambling. When
the person to whom the handle has pointed
has taken out the article placed in the cup
Cor alongside it, if 1t be too large). some
other article must be placed in it or alongside
it, and brisk twirl is then given it that sends
it spinning around again for four or five times
before 1t settles to rest and the handle des-
ignates the new victor. l have said this is a
kind of gambling, because the lucky one Of
ten puts in the musk-ox horn cup things much
more valuable than are taken out, the only
idea of value among the EsQuimo being the
present necessity for an article. needle
that is wanted for use Immediately is more
valuable in their eyes than the horn cup
which holds it, although it may have taken
them a month to make the cup-St. Nieho-

Sagging Gate Posts

A gate that has sagged so that it rakes
upon the ground and has to be carried to
and fro. is but little, if any more conven.
lent upon a farm than pair of bars.
Gates may be made so that they will not
sag if the posts can be so set as not to
cant over.
There are usually two important things
neglected when posts are set, first, they
are not put in deep enough, and second,
they are too small. White oak is the best
material. and if the posts are worked
from tree two feet in diameter. all the
better. leaving the part that goes into the
earth full size-removing the bark, how
overland working the smaller part from
the heart of the stick.
On some farms this method of post max
ing would be waste of timber too ex-
travagant, and some more economical
mode would have to be adopted, but
where timber is plenty there is no way
more effectual, for the post will last for a
great number of years, and always keep
an erect position.
A correspondent says that if you cut the
post on which to hang the gate. with large,
strong limb. projecting as near as posi-
BILE at right angles with it, from the bot,
tom or near it. and let the limb be three
feet long, and set the post with the limb
opposite the side of the gate, to balance
it, and pack well under the limb, and then
put good, fiat stone or piece of timber
on the end of it; fill up the hole-the
gate post will never sag.
Posts OF this kind may be obtained from
the large limbs of oak and other trees.
when they are cut for rails or other pur-
