it is not thought any of them are
fatally hurt. A wrecking train has

There is great anxiety here, as a
number of Knight Templars, re-
turning from the st. Louis Con

freight cars were badly wrecked.

Shot Mis- WIie Tor 4 Burglar.

DENVER, COL, Sept. 22.-On the
Whittemore ranch, near Golden,
yesterday morning, II. b. White
more shot his wife twice, thinking
she was burglar. The story OF
the shooting, az told by Wbittemore,
is as follows: "When we retired |
had S4OO with which | intended to
pay a debt. remember my wife
said she could not wear the new
fiannels she had on, and would
have to change them. About l
o'clock in the morning | was sud

fired. The figure came straight to-
ward me and | fred again. We
then clinched, and discovered that
it was my wife, who had got up
to change her nannels, and whom
| had mistaken for a thief" Mrs
Whlttemore, in whose presence the
story was told, was asked If it was
correct. She nodded assent and
tried to speak, but could not. The
husband is almost crazy with grieI
over the unfortunate affair. Th'
physicians say it is impossible TO
the woman to recover.

her. She may make converts else
where but | do not think we want
to hear her in Greencastle." One
who was acquainted with Mrs.
GIaser several years ago writes to
the Spirit: 81 do not think she
should be allowed TO preach in the
United Brethren church,
There are others who have been
convinced that Mrs. CHASER is a wO'
man of marvellous power and OF
unquestioned sincerity. One person
remarked yesterday to a SPIRIT rep
resentative "She is very enthusl-
astic and through faith believes a
good work can be done in the way
of saving souls" Another remark
ed: 81 have perfect confidence IN
her sincerity and believe she was
raised from her bed by faith.'
Mrs. CHASER is n woman between
forty and fifty years old. She IS
said, by physician, to be possessed
of high nervous temperament
and thoroughly emotional. The
person was of the opinion that
careful nursing, rest and time
wrought for her the cures of which
she breaches, and this opinion IS
widely shared. With this unpreju-
diced account of the best known
portions of Mrs. Glaser's life to re-
fer to those of the Spirit readers
who have the opportunity of hear
ing her preach may form an estl-
mate of her saving powers and re-
ligious teachings.

owned BY A SLAVE.
AN INTERESTING SUIT or A BATI-
MORE COLORED WOMAN TO RE.
COVER MONEY.

LYNcHBURG, VA, September
23.-Judge Paul, in the United
States Court for the western circuit
Of Virginia, has given an opinion
in an interesting case involving
the right Of a slave before the war
TO own property, and the parties to
the case were Woodland and wife,
now of Baltimore, and NewhalPs
administrator. Mrs. Woodland,
nee Lizzie Pen (cOlOred), of Balti.
more, was the daughter Of Paulina
Ishell, a slave woman Of Amherst
county. The latter had accumu-
lated considerable property during
her slavery, and placed it in the
hands of Newhall to purchase her
freedom and that of her child. AS
Paulina desired to remain in Nir-
ginia, Newhall agreed to stand in
the place of master to her and at
the same time to give her all the
privileges of a free person under
the laws Of Virginia. Paulina
afterwards accumulated 81 900 and
placed it in the hands of Newhall
to buy her a home. Newhall
bought for her a house and lot, but,
on examination, the title to the
same appeared defective, and the
purchase was annulled. Paulina
afterwards died, and when Newhall
made his will, March 20, 1865, and
soon after died, he bequeathed his
entire estate to his two nephews,
Subliltts, and at the same time exc.
cuted a writing directing them to
pay to Lizzie Penn, Paulina's child,
81 900 in gold value, the amount he
owed her mother. The money, it
was claimed, was never so paid,
and the suit was to recover it. The
defence offered four points of Oh.
lection. First, the statute of limi.
tations, which was overruled. Sec
ond, res ddjudicatd, which was over
ruled. Third, that at the time of
the writings of Newhall, March 20,
1864, Penn was a slave, and could
not hold property; overruled.
Fourth, that there was no trust
In finally ruling, the court held
that there was only moral, and
not a legal, obligation resting on
the SubIiltts, which could not be
enforced in equity, and the bill
must, therefore, be dismissed.
The Judge also decided a point
in the case which is of much
general interest and impor-
tance, and that is, as to when
slavery finally ceased to exist in
Virginia. His decree was that
April 7, 1864, the time when the
Alexandria Underwood state con.
stitution was adopted, was the
date on which slavery in Virginia
passed away.

Poetry.

A gentleman writes US to ask if
we will kindly furnish him with a
definition of the word "poetry."
The task is too difficult to be un-
dertaken at this time Of the year.
We have neither space nor time to
express an opinion of some of the
poetry which finds its way into a
newspaper office. The English Ian
guage is abundantly ample for most
emergencies, but wholly inadequate
to the occasion when inspired souls
pour themselves ont in song and
request us to print it.
flour correspondent has any ten
dency in that direction we advise
him to check it instanter. Mr..
Wegg was willing to doany amount
of writing for Mr. Botlin at hall a
crown a week, but Of poetry he
said :-"lt would come dearer. For
when a person comes to grind of
poetry night after night it is but
right he should expect to be paid
for its weakening effect on the
mind.n
A word of advice. Never offer
your poety to a newspaper man
yourself, but coax somebody who
doesn't know any better to do 1t tor
YOU. The moment an editor sees
this kind of literature he loses all
control of himself, becomes emo
tionally insane and ought not to be
held responsible for anything he
may do. If you must choose be
tween poetry and what Pip calls
"purple leptic fit don't choose the
poetry.

twenty.six years Of age. He is a

The TlIden VIII Dissatisfaction.

There is q rumOr current that
the nephews of Mr.. Tlden are dis
satisfied with what they have sup
posed is the action contemplated
by the executors in reference to a
portion of the sixteenth provision
of the will, IN which Mr.. Tilden
authorizes his executors at such
time as they may deem judicious to
release George II. and Samuel j..
Tilden, the second, a debt which
they owe for cash advances made
by him to them in their business,
amounting, with interest, to the
sum of about 1874, 900, and also a
mortgage held against them
amounting, with interest, to about
$33, 900, and also to the further
direction to the executors in which
the latter are directed to pay seer
tain notes given many years ago
by my late brothers, Moses Y.
Tilden and Henry A. Tilden, to
Catherine II. Pierson, the principal
of which | afterward guaranteed to
save my mother from indorsing the
same, which said notes have been
assumed by nephews, Geo. II. Til
den and Samuel j. Tilden, the sec
ond, who will be relieved OF the
payment thereof"
1t is understood that the neph-
ews contend that an equitable con-
struction of these provisions, by
the executors, would include certain
pending liabilities of which they
desire to be relieved, and that the
executors confess their inability to
construct the provisions of the will
as the nephews desire.
The sum in question, which was
given by Mr.. Tilden to his nephews,
in the provision of the will referred
to. amounted to over 100000.

FEITER.

CAPTURE OF THE GREEK-THE
DEN OF A NOTORIOUS COUNTER
FEITER.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2i.-Detectives
from the Des PLANES station made
a capture Wednesday evening of
Sam Thomas, alias "The Greek"
ali expert counterfeiter, who has
operated extensively in New
York, Philadelphia and this CITY,
For some time past bogus fifty-cent
pieces and dollars have been in cir
culatiOn here, and for the last three
weeks officers have been searching
for Thomas and his partners. But
Thomas has changed his abode so
often that he outwitted his pursu-
ers. Wednesday night, however,
he was traced and captured. a lot
of melted metal was found in the
stove, and the officers discovered
few mOlds and dies, which showed
plainly that he had coined consider
able bad money since he had lived
there. The coins are very cleyerly
made, and it would take an expert
to discover that they were not gen
uine. The few molds and dies
found by the officers are only a
very small portion of the outfit in
possession Of the gang, but the
police say that they expect to catch
one of "The Creeks cOnfederates
to-day and the entire outfit of the
counterfeiterS. The police and Sc
cret service men say that the gang
have circulated no less than 8 800
worth of the spurious coins during
the last three weeks. The oihcers
testified that they found under his
bed two hundred dollars in good
money, and fourteen dollars in
counterfeit silver dollars of the
years 1879, 1854 and 1880. In his
cook stove were found small bits
of metal similar to the composition
of the counterfeit dollars, a bottle
of alcohol under the bed and.a bag
OF dlaster of paris hidden away IN
the coal bin. \ square plate
of three -fourths inch glass was
discovered, Oh which the reflection
of silver dollars was plainly visible.
Thomas denied that he had been
engaged lin counterfeiting. lie
was held in $1,000 bond.

Horrible ButcheTy.
AN ENTIRE FAMILY MURDERED
AND THEIR BODIES BURNED.

AN ENIlkk FAMILY NJ hDbh hD
AND THEIR BODIES BURNED.
CUBA, Mo-, September 23.-The
James Davis farm, six miles east
of here, Tuesday was the scene of
horrible butchery. The farm is
owned and occupied by Malcolm
Logan and his family, consisting of
his wife, son, six years old, girl,
two years old, and an infant two
months old, and an adopted girl,
seventeen years old. During the
night all we're murdered and the
dwelling consumed by fire. Yester-
day morning the body of Mr.. Logan
was found upon the railrod one and
a half miles from his house. The
body was badly mangled by an
east-bound train. His hat, scalp
and skull all show that he was
killed by a sharp instrument,
probably a hatchet. The light of
the burning house was first seen
about 4 a. NJ. by a neighbor. Some
charred remains of the inmates
we're discovered during the day
Logan's murdered wife was found
near the door. There was hatchet
lying near, and the supposition IS
that the same weapon was used to
murder all the family. Mr.. Logan
was seen at work in his field late
Tuesday evening, and the common
theory is that he was enticed from
home on some pretence of needed
assistance and was murdered for
the money supposed to be in his
house, as it is known that he had
lately received 81, 300 for some
lard. There is as yet no clue to
the murderer. Great excitement
prevails in the vicinity.
