A HORRIBLE TALE.

A Convict Tells the Detective How B. L.
Crouch's Relatives Were Murdered.
Ii will be remembered that in Novem-
Der, 1883, the father Of Byron L. Crouch,
OF Pearsall, his sister, her husband, and
visitor, PANIED Policy, OF the house,
were foully murdered at the Crouch
homestead. in Jackson, Mich, and al
though there have been many clues and
suspicious, the identity of the murderer
Is as vague and mysterious as 1t was on
the morning following the discovery Of
murder. Detective Ballard, of Jeffer-
son City, Mo-, has been investigating the
matter and recently interviewed con
vict who makes startling statement.
He states that he and partner were
hired in the north by a member OF the
Crouch family TO do the murCerous
work, and that In pursuance with such
agreement they came to Jackson and
camped in the woods. James FOy, one
of the suspected parties, supplied them
with food. On the morning OF the muir
der, Foy came to the hired asssssins and
said that the murder must be committed
that night, as the man Policy was there
and had 5000 with him in addition TO
the haul that could be got from the
Crouchs. 1t would then make the peo-
pie think that robbery was the motive
for the murder. That night he and his
partner met by appointment, and in
company with others, proceeded TO the
Crouch homestead where the dastardly
murders were committed. When this
was done they were driven to the depot
by James Foy. 1t is not yet known
what credence can be placed in this
but Investigations are being
made and further developments are ex-
Dected

Old Age.

In classical antiquity much is said of
the reverence due TO old age. The du-
ties of children to parents occupy a
prominent place in ancient literature,
both sacred and profane. In our day,
however, such ideas appear to have be-
come, in a degree, obsolete; and the
hoary head, especially the bald head, is
deemed fit subject for mockery, in
ueHdo and SANDER. A little money has
a fine effect in mitigation of the crime OF
being old. An old gentleman, long alb
sent from these parts, recently most I'M
expectedly returned. Added to deepest
poverty he was greatly afflicted In facial
appearance. Some former acquaintance
were staunch and standard friends as in
brighter days of the past; but some
turned the cold shoulder and the back,
with large differences against his afflic-
tions as evidence of vice. He wrote back
to a place where he spent many years,
and received answer that his life had
been unspOtted by anything wrong
while there. A great change is coming
over the prospect, for it is found that he
has important landed interests, which in
due cOurse of law will be searched into
and secured TO himself. Now the clOuded
eky begins to brighten. The tide Is turn
ing by the magic power of the dollar; a
little time and fair success will place
him as in days agOne among the first
men in the land. TEMPUs.

How They Dressed.

The dresses of the Misses Helena and
Hortense Jones and Miss Finlayson were
very much observed by the ladies at the
concert last right. None Of the ladies
wore jewelry, and their dresses while
very rich, were almost plain, the gor-
geous Marie Stuart collar being the
most conspicuous part Of the dress. Miss
Hortense dressed her hair severely plain
from of the forehead. and allowing 1t to
be tied in compact knot at the back Of
the head, while her lilac walking dress
and lace overdress set we'll on her slim
figure. Miss Helena and Miss Finlay-
son wore bangs, with back hair combed
high, and stylish fringe OF hair falling
down the back Of the neck. Miss Fin
layson wore acardinal dress, high fitting
neck and elbow sleeves. The color Of
the dress heightened the effect OF her
dark hair and rich complexion.

AN ENGLISH DECISION.
In Favor OF An American Trademark

In Favor OF An American Trademark.
From the New York Journal
LONDON, ENGLAND, Aug. 26, 1885,
(SPECIAL BY CABLE)-In the chancery
division Of the high court of justice,
London, Vice-Chancellor Bacon has
given his decision in favor OF The
CHARLES A. YoGELER COMPANY, of Balti-
more, Maryland, in the action brought
by that house III. CHURCHILLs& Co., of
Brisbane, Queensland. The best case
which has been in progress here since
September, 1884, grew out Of an attempt
OF Churchill & Company to register a
trademark containing the words ST.
PATRIRC KS OIL in connection with a
medicinal preparation. This was
promptly opposed by the Vogler Com
any who, while admitting that the term
and device which were sought to be
registered by the Australian firm we're In
no respect identicul to the well-known
ST. JACOB On trademarks, contented
however, that sufficient similarity
existed between the term st. Patricks APP
piled by Churchill & Co., and st. Jacobs
as used by the Vogler Co. to cause
confusion in the minds of the public and
lead to purchasers being deceived. In
support Of this position they submitted
an overwhelming amount Of evidence
from English, American, and Australian
sources with the result stated. Under
the decision of the Court, Churchill q
Co. cannot register their mark and must
pay costs of the case.-This Is the second
trademark suit won by the Vogler
Company in England within three years.

A Sad Commentary.

Editor San Antonio Light.
1t takes a variety Of men and women
to make the world and each one Of these
countless millions has something that
separates him or her from the multitude.
People take up queer fancies and singu-
lar whims, and 1t is waste Of time to
attempt to argue them out Of them. To
illustrate this point,-Bluium has wife
who Is beauty, splendid in form, and
all that sort of thing, but he Is wild over
a hOmely old woman with only three
teeth, who Is a veteran in prostitution,
and neglects his beautiful young wife for
the venal charms Of an old haridan who
never was passsable even in the glorious
flush Of youth. There is no accounting
for tastes. The latest and most
remarkable freak in the way OF an unex-
plainable within, is the morbid determin-
alton Of two girls to fling aside respecta-
bility, character and hope, and to fairly
force their way into house Of prostitu-
ton. This conduct is unaccountable.
People cannot but doubt the sanity of
these young women. Dante, In his "In-
ferno," saw written over the door Of
hell-"those who enter this door, leave
hope behind" and similar inscription
is over the entrance to every house Of
prostitution. Those that enter leave
hope behind, and wed misery and re-
morse. Shame becomes their meat and
their drink. They must wear the livery
OF sin all their lives and feel that they
are outoasts from decent society and
castaways from God. How startling is
1t, then, to see two young girls wilfully
embracing such a hopeless and misera-
Bile life, and throwing away all that
gives zest to life, u charm to memory,
and hope to the future. The law
should interpose to prevent such NOR
al suicide. What has become of all the
Christians, that they are not moving
heaven and earth to rescue these girls
from immolating themselves upon the
foul altar of vice and sin? ToNEr.
