TERRIBLE WORK OF A MANIAC.
A Crazed Woman Brains Two of Her Children
with an Ax-The Mother Likely to Die.

KEYPoRT, April 23-At the home Of J. NJ.

dreadful tragedy occurred. Mr.. Smith is fifty
five years old, and his wife forty-three, and the
mother of six children, aged nineteen, eighteen,
thirteen, eleven, seven and four years, respect

within After terrible struggle, the woman
was secured. One of the children Is dead and
the others are likely to die before morning Mrs.

Decision of an Important Suit Growing Out
of a Contract for Supplying GuanO.
PARIS, April 23-The firm of Messrs. Dreyfus
concluded. in 1869, contract for the purchase
of two million tons of Peruvian guano, the So
ciete Generate and NJ. Premsel agreeing to fur
nish the necessary funds on condition that they

er admitting all the demands of the Messrs.
Dreyfus. and declared in principle that the coz
tracing parties were obliged to furnish the
necessary funds to insure the execution of the
convention The court adjudged, therefore.

share of the capital. namely, IL. 600 900 francs,
or quarter of the joint capital, the Societe

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
MARSHALL, April 23.-In the last ten years
four daring and almost similar burglaries have
been committed in Marshall. In every case the
safe has been blown open a short time after mid
night The first victim was Henry Leseure,
grocer; the second, Besser & Marvin, millers;
the third, John Z. Black, grocer, and the last
burglary, which was perpetrated this morning,
early, was against the last party named The
first time MIR. Black lost about $780, this morn
ing over 800 in cash was taken. besides checks
and drafts to a considerable amount The safe
was blown to pieces The burglars emptied
several sacks of -four on the floor in front Of the
safe to deaden the noise of their footsteps. They
left some powder in paper sack. and their tools.

New Opera and Composer.


A new opera and composer has been intro
duced to Milan at La Scala The opera is en-
titled "Salammbo." and the composer, Nicolo
Massa, is little known outside the walls of a
few small provincial theaters. The late COM
poser. Petrella had begun an opera on the same
subject, utilizing Flauberts Michael Apge-
lesque Romance" for lyric purposes, as now.
But at the end of the first act death cut his
short. The present librettst Signor Zauardini,
has taken great liberties with the story, and in
so doing has weakened it-turning bloodstained
mercenaries into melodramatic ranters The color
and imagination, which make Flaubert's ro-
nance inimitable, are deprecated both in the
libretto and in the three acts of the opera.
When the composer thinks he is tragic he is
often only noisy, when he should be poetic he
is seldom more than sentimental The prelude
to the first act and Salammbos invocation, the
prelude to the second act, followed by a charm
ing aria and an ingenously scored "Danza
Mistic;" the chorus of the mercenaries, Matho's
love song and the duet between Matho and
Salammbo. in the third act, were applauded
The composer was called out fifteen times dur
ing the performance, but in Italy this means
nothing.

AN IMBECILE FAMILY.
Eight IdiOtic Children Living in One Hous.
-Deplorable Result of Intermarriage.

Eight IdiOtic Children Living in One House
-Deplorable Result of Intermarriage.
Philadelphia Record.
The most pitiable case that has yet come under
the notice Of the lunacy committee was discov.
cred last week in Fountaindale, Adams county,
where Jacob Miller wealthy farmer, was found
living with his eight imbecile children. The
mother OF this miserable family had died several
years ago insane, her reason having given way
under the terrible stain to which she had been
subjected. The poor woman had given birth TO
eleven children between 1860 and 1874. and not
one of her numerous offspring was possessed of
sound mind. Nine children are still living. one
daughter, possessed of limited amount of in
telligence, having been married. The remain
iIg eishc are cared for by their father in his
home; which was in most deplorable condition
when Secretary CURT and a member of the COM
mittee visited the place Five of the children
are driveing idiots, past all hope of improve
ment, while the other three are somewhat
brighter. The oldest child is the worst of all,
scarcely possessing the instincts of an animal.
He sits at window all day long, and from the
constant swaying of his body has worn a hole
in the windowsill where his head touches the
woodwork. Mr.. Miller expressed a deep affec-
tion for his unfortunate children. He said that
they were we'll fed and seemed happy, though he
was not able to keep them we'll clothed on &C
count of their filthy habits It was learned that
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller were blood cousins of the
first degree, and to this fact alone the members
their offspring. The father, however, had no
explanation for the matter, and he looked upon
the affection as a stroke of Providence
A singular phase of the affair is that the COM
mittee can find no legal way of reaching the case
Two daughters, twelve and fourteen years of
age respectively. and one of the sons, are cana
BILE of Improvement if placed in proper institu-
ton, such as the Media Training School; but as
Mr.. Miller is well~todo, owning two hundred
acres of land. and the children not insane the
committee cannot invoke the insanity laws nor
make the children State charge. The matter
was then laid before the society to protect
children from cruelty, but after consultation
of the officers with their solicitor it was found
that the society could not interfere, as there is
no provision in the law by which it can take
charge of imbecile children.
DR.. Curt said yesterday; This is the most
deplorable case that has ever come under my
notice. The father does not seem to comprehend
his responsibility Three of the boys are able
to work on the farm. and as long as the physical
wants of the children are satisfied Mr.. Miller
is contented. When asked what would become
of these children when he died he answered that
he had not thought of such contingency. The
married daughter has two children whose minds
are also said to be weak, and I tremble for the
consequences when the other two daughters
grow oldern
