for the loss il sustains In MI. George
Lorillard's death. BY that, OF course,
all the engagements Of his horses become

Mr.. Lorillard's name was o synonyme
for honorable dealing, and nobody ever
backed his horses who did not feel, in
the commonplace language oil the race

FURrHER LIGHT ON A MEXI.
CAN MURDER.

The case of the Mexicans In the at.
tack which resulted in the killing of
Captain Crawford is made even worse
than before by the report of his subor.
dinate officer, Lieutenant Maus. It was
after the first fire Of the Mexicans, which
lasted fifteen minutes, and after o party
of them had approached near enough to
parley with Lieutenant Maus, and to
assure him that the firing would not be
resumed, that the volley was delivered
which killed Captain Crawford. Such
action as this was plainly the result of q
deliberate intent to murder the whole
United States command. Lieutenant
Maus makes clear also the point, which
was before somewhat in doubt. that the
attack took place in broad daylight. and
doprives the Mexican "explsnation" of
all foundation. There is reason to sup.
pose that this party of Mexicans were
brigands or freebooters. "They wore no
uniform" says Lieutenant Maus, and
hence could hardly have been national
troops. Whoever they were, the Mexi-
can Governments should he held RESPONSE.
BILE for their act. Such an incident can.
not safely Or honorably be passed over
by our Government nor allowed to be
CLOSED over by smooth words and vague
assurances of regret for the accident"
There was no accident, and the muir.
derers should be brought to account.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Two Children Roasted Alive in a
Burning Building.

ELIzABETHTowN, Pa. July 22.-The
frame house of Rudolph Roat, at Cone
WACO station, two miles west of here,
where the Colebrook Valley Railroad
connects with the Pennsylvania, took
fire last night from defective f1ue.
Before it was discovered the building
was in flames, and it was impossible to
save it or to rescue all the inmates
Two of Mr.. Roat's children, aged and
7 respectively, were burned to death
the building was entirely destroyed.
Mrs. Roat was awakened at about
O'Clock by the light shining in her face,
and she at once awoke her husband.
The woman grasped her infant from
its crib and jumped from the window.
The oldest daughter was awakened by
the heat and going to another bed,
where little sister and brother were
sleeping, tried to arouse them, bat was
Mortified to find them dead, having
been suffocated by smoke. She then
jumped from the window to save her
life. The father tried hard to rescue
the two children, but was driven back
by the smoke and heat, and to save his
own life he left the burning building.
The house was one and one half stories
high, built of logs and weather-boarded,
and was burned to the ground in
very short time. The mother is al
most prostrated with grief, and it is
feared she will become deranged. The
father is also grieved at the loss of his
two children. The mother, father and
two children escaped in an almost max
ed condition, as all clothing was burn
ed. They were taken to the residence
of Mr.. Krauser, manager of the Grubb
estate, at which place Mr.. Roat was
employ and were given clothing.

The Farmer sat in his old arm chair,
Rosy and fair.

He said to his wife, who was Knitting near,

The hard times here.
Though the leaf of life is yellow and sere.
IT am the king, thou art the queen
OF this fair scene;
Our love is green.
And when thou were village maid,
And /, a blade,
In loye-afraid
My fondest hopes would be delayed.
'sNow, whether the days be dim or fine,
In rain and shine,
Here, thine end mine,
Are cattle grazing upon the hill,
Taking their fill,
And sheep so still,
Like many ruled by q single Will.
''These barn-yard fowls, our subjects all,
They heed the call,
Both great and small
When we scatter for them grain.
Ills not in vain
We live and reign,
In this our happy, fair domain.

and bulls and bears,
And the affairs
OF speculation in mart and street,
In this retreat

Plenty that's crown'd with braided wheat

Told the Truth.

k0IN the Truth.
A suspicious man, who acts as if
every person would cheat him if he
could, is often the dupe of bis own
cleverness. Dewitt, the Dutch states
man of the seventeenth century, gain
ed victories over foreign diplomatists
by telling the truth. They thought
his frankness o cloak to hide his real
purpose, and wasted their skile in try
ing to discover and thwart it. The
following story illustrates the dipping
power of undue suspicion
A farmer living in the Connecticut
valley had a fine COW, which neigh
boring farmer had tried in vain to
buy. One day the cow failed to give
milk, and was attacked by spasms
which with other ailments made her
worthless as mixer.
Wife, said the farmer, one morn
ing, we shall have to sell our COW, af-
ter all.
Yes, if we can sell her.
well, neighbor B will buy her.
He's been after her for long time.
You don't suppose he wants
worthless COW, do your
No, but I'm tired Of having him
tease me to sell her. Tho next time
he comes | shall tell him / have con-
Guided to SELL
But you know the COW isn't worth
a tenth of what she cost
Il know it. But I shall be honest
and frankly tell him So
Within a week, old b drove in
to the barnyard Good morning,
neighbour said he, i hear you are 60
ing to sell the COW | like so WE'LL
We'll, yes, wife and / have conclu-
ded to get rid of her. She doesn't
give any milk, and we have no more
use for her. Possibly she may inn
prove with change of pasturage, but
I doubt it,
Doesn't give any milk, hey =
No; and she was, as You know, an
unusually good mixer
'Umphl Yes. Well, look here !
III buy her any way Tho fact is,
I've taken fancy to the breed
'But she hasn't given any milk for
two weeks, and I don't think she ever
will again. Besides, she is in poor
health generally, and it's possible she
may not recover
Mr.. B instantly thought, He's
too frank. It's his intention TO keep
me from buying the COW. Anyway,
I don't believe q word he says about
the ANIMAL So he said, See here!
I'll give you so much for her, nam
ing O sum equal to more than half OF
the cows original cost.
But she isn't worth it, Mr.. B.
I tell you I shouldn't be surprised if
she died within q month";
'Nonsensel I'll risk it! Herep
and b pulled out the money
Bring out the COW, aud I'll take her
right home with me-
The owner of the COW hesitated at
first, but finally brought out the cow.
B paid the money, and took her
home, chuckling to himself, 4 can see
few things if I haven't got eyes in
the back of my head.
In less than month the COW,
which had not given a drop of milk
in that time, died. B was furious,
but he knew he had neither legal
nor moral claim for damages, and
for once in his life he was ashamed.
In few days, however, he received
the following note from his neighbor:
You see / was telling the truth
about that cow To prove it, / return
