Coroner was summoned from Dennison. In
the meantime an examination was made oi
the scene oi the murder. The depot is one
and hall miles northeast OF the city. in "a
deep and lonely cut. The agent was re-
quired TO stay only till midnight. Three
young men, friends offis, had accompanied
Powers out to hispost and lefthim at 1890.
The murder must have been committed af-
ter that time. He was sitting at his desk
writing letter, and being nearsighted. he
was leaning over close to the paper, and
had his hat pulled down over his ewes. The
murdered must have slipped mp 10 the win
dow and tired at the top OF his head. The
ball shivered the, pane OF glass through
which II passed, cut n circular hole in the
top Of the hat, and then entered the victim )
head. He fell forward his left eye striking

er then seems to have gone around and en-
tered through the back window. He drag
ged the body to the floor and rihed all the
pockets, taking what little money there
was and his watch. The body was then
dragged through the pool OF blood already
formed and laid close under the desk and
covered Up. The floor was almost covered
with blood. The. inquest was held in the
afternoon, and n verdict was rendered in
accordance with the above facts. Powers

all, especially the young folks, and his awful
death is felt as Il common calamity. 4
Thousand dollars was raised in u snort

intense, and it would take strong wallis so

men have been out since the discovery OF
the murder, securing the country aud telc-

There Is no clew whatever TO guide he

the blood hounds from Olney TO start the
search. This last devl;sh deed seems To
cap the climax OF crime which has reisned
in Clark County the last three months.

WILD WITH GRIEF.


One OF the saddest and most heartrendin.
cases OF drowning that ever occurred in
Arkansas took place near the residence OF
Mr.. Joseph Morse, six miles south from
Little Rock. Late on the afternoon oi the
18th, Vim. Honsinger, the 12-year-old step.
son OF Mr.. Morse, WAS swimming around in
Il pond near his house. An elder brother
was standing on the bank watching his
funny evolutions in the water, when all of
a sudden the boy was taken with cramps
and called to his brother Henry to come To
his rescue. Without waiting, Henry sprang
into the water and soon had William in
his arms, but the now exhausted boy and
IL load OF heavy, wet clothes, weighted
Henry down to such an extent that his
frightened brothers weight was more than
he could carry, and both boys soon sank
to rise no more in ten feet OF water. Mrs
Morse, mother Of the boys, heard her
child's first scream where she was in the
kitchen cooking supper and ran To the
pond just as Henry plunged in. The poor
woman watched her two little darlings
struggling for life in the water and saw them
sink for the last time beneath the cruel
waters. Then she tainted and has been Il

mind is forever gone. 1t was "a sight calcu.

Lena Fry Sleeps for Several Days, Despite
All Efforts to Waken Her.

Lena Fry, a daughter OF David Fry, at
Stumptown. Loudoun County Va, has
been asleep five nights and four days con-
tinuously. All efforts to awaken her are
fruitless. She lays in bed breathing deeply,
but easily. occasionally turns over and
moves her limbs, but never awakes. She is
l. years old, well bult, inclined To be
stout, but is rather delicate. Two weeks
ago she was taken sick, and appeared to he
suffering from nervous prostration. She
could not sleep then, and was wakeiul for
several days and nights, saying that she
was afraid to GO to sleep lest she should
die. No Opiates were given her, but finally
overcome with exhaustion the girl went to
sleep, and from that time slumbered con-
tinuously for sixty-six hours. Her parents
were very much alarmed. Doctors exam
ined and pronounced her alive and appar-
emily in a healthy slumber. Some persons
thought her dead. Loud noises in the room
pinching and slapping her had no effect.
she continued to sleep soundly. When she
did awake IL was in the middle OF the night
and the house was quiet as death. She
thought she had been sleeping only a few
hours, but complained OF feeling hungry.
This time she has far exceeded her previous
sleeping record. A number Of physicians

FATAL QUARREL.
A Gam, OF Dice Results In the Shouting Of

Between > and 10 e'cleck on the night
of the 10TH John McGivroy, blacksmith

by Bowman Paxtsn, a druggist and farmer
Of that place. The killing took place on
the streets. The difficulty, it seems, grew
nut Of n game of dice between other parties
The facts as near as can be learned are
that the parties throwing dice got into a
row: one knocked the other down; the
party making the assault was arrested
McGilvrOy went his bail. Paxton made
some remarks to Mctiilvroy about him 90
ing on the bond OF such fellow as the man
arrested. McGilvroy told Paxton to keep
quiet and attend to his own busiress, as he
didn't like him any too well anyway. They
had some hot words, and finally went into
the street to fight it out. They were
stopped by friends and agreed ~ drop the
matter, and went and took n drink to-
gether. This occurred some time in the after
noon and about . or 10 o'clock they met;
McGilvroy put ms hand on Paxton's shoul-
Iers and made some remark. Paxton
drew pistol and commenced firing on Nc
Gilvroy. One shot struck him in the
mouth, another just under the lett eve, and
the third in the breast. lie sank to the
earth and died in few minutes. Paxton
started to run, but was caught and is now
in Jail at kennett. McGilvroy has been
drinking hard for several years, but was
not offensive or troublesome. Paxton,
from the best information, is a dangerous
man when drinking.

WASHINGTON, Sept.-S.-Col. Batchelder,

report upon the condition of affairs there,
has returned. He says the people have

1t il true that irail articles. such as vases,

saries. The loss will iall principally upon
the owners Of real estate, and not upon the
people at large. | did not ses any OF the
pitiable cases Of distress that the papers
tell about. The business sectio OF the city
is in ruins. There is scarcely a brick house
in that portion Of the town which will have
to be torn down. But most Of the people
Of Charleston live up in the northern pOr.
ton of the city, and nearly every residence
is wooden. These buildings remain intact
The only damage they have sustained is in
the loss Of chimneys aud the breaking OF
the plaster, making the walls look less even
and pretty than they were before. There is
no reason why the people should not re-
turn to their homes. There is no danger
No one was killed in house during the
earthquake, but all those who died were
killed on the streets. No one was killed
by IL wooden house, but all the dead came
to their end through the falling OF brick
stores and warehouses. 1t would be q good
thing for Charleston tn have storm and
make the people get into their houses. As
for the working classes, the earthquake is
a benefit to them, for it provides them with
plenty Of employment at higher prices than
they were earning before.
