The farm is owned and occupied by Malcolm Logan and his family, consisting of his wife, a son six years old, girl two years old, an infant two months old and an adopted girl seven years old: During the night all were murdered and the dwelling consumed by fire. Tester day morning the body of MT. Logan was found upon the railroad one and half miles from his house. The body was badly man gled by the east bound train. His hat, scalp and skull all show that he was killed by a sharp instrument, probably hatohet. The light of the burning house first seen about a. m. by neighbor. Some charred remains of the inmates were discovered dur ing the day. Logan's murdered wife was found near the door. There was a hatcheG lying near and the suppcsition is that the same weapon wrs used to murder all the family. MT.

Mir. Graham was declared elected fourth delegate.
 The result of the last ballot was received with loud demonstrations of favor on the floor and in the gallery and amid the general hurrah the chairman declared the convention adjourned.
 Inquiries among the delegates as to who was the last delegate elected were anything but satisfactory, no one seemed to know him. It was very evident that he was a Knight of Labor, as he received the entire strength of that element in the convention
 It was very evident, too, that the slate that had
 been prepared beforehand was badly broken
 in the election of the last delegate.
