A LUNATIC LOVER.
He Assaulted a Most Estimable
Lady and Then Cut
His Throat.

Toledo, ILL.,, May IAN attempted muir
der and suicide has Just been reported al
this place from Spring Point TO Fnship in
the south part of Cumberland county.
Miss Mary Sanders of that place lives with
her aunt, Mrs. vi. Sanders, and Is beau
tiful girl of about is summers. For some
time past she has been prosecuted with the
attentions of half-witted fellow named
William Gallamors, about 20 years of age,
but has given him no encouragement,
always avoiding him, but having some
difficulty in so doing, as he was brother
to Mrs. Sanders, with whom she lives. On
yesterday afternoon Miss Mary went out
in the garden to pick some greens, and
while there was approached by Gallamore,
who said he wanted to talk with her. She
said she would have nothing to do with
him, but he persisted, and finally became
so pressing in his attentions that she arose
to 60 away from him. He then made
his first effort at violence, throwing
his arms around her, and with a large
knife, which she had not before noticed,
tried TO cut her throat, first cutting her on
the right cheek, the knife going clear into
the bone. She caught the knife with her
right hand and he ierked il away from her,
cutting her hand in fearful manner. The
next attempt was more successful, cutting
an awful cash IN her throat, almost sever
ing the iugular vein. He then proceeded
to cut his own throat and succeeded so we'll
that it is thought he will die. The girl is
still alive, but no hopes are entertained OF
her recovery.
The people of Spring Point township are
very much excited over the matter, and it
is thought If the fellow lives he will be Sc
verely dealt with. The crime was COM
mitted within 200 yards of the place where
John Hogan was murdered in 1871, an
event which is still fresh in the minds of
the people of This county.

Shall Labor Be Free?

New York Tribune.
The New York Chamber of Com
merce is to be heartily commended for
the good sense oft resolutions adopt
ed at the meeting on Tuesday, and es-
pecially for the adoption of the sew
enth resolution declaring it the "par-
"amount duty of every American
''citizen to uphold and strengthen the
Glands of the guardians of the law,
sin maintaining law and order as the
"only possible foundation for the pros
"perity of the employed as well as the
employers" In the previous resolu-
tons the Chamber had distinctly de-
clared in favor of arbitration as the
proper mode of settling disputes be-
tween employers and employed; had
wisely pointed out that such disputes
are generally best settled by confer.
ence between the parties directly in
terested, without the intervention OF
third parties /; and had urged that lab
orers who strike must respect the free.
dom aud the rights of other laborers
who desire to work in their sead.
Throughout the resolutions manifest
good sense and a spirit OF fair-minded
Justice toward all workIngmen who
seek by peaceful means an improve
ment of their condition.
A forcible commentary on these
resolutions was the arrest in the same
city, on the same day, of a large mum.
Der of Irades-unionists, almost without
exception foreigners by birth, who
had been indicted under the conspira.
cy act for their participation in boy
colt. 1t is to be hoped that in this
or other cases a test of the law may
be speedily made, so that it shall be
clearly established that the right of a
worker to discontinue work when he
pleases, and to ask for higher wages
or better terms, carries with it no
right whatever to interfere with the
business of his late employers, or to
restrict the freedom of other working
men who may wish to take his place.
1t is time that convictions should
sharply emphasize the broad distinc-
ton between a peaceful strike and a
strike with violence between a re-
fusal of men to continue their accus.
toned work and their refusal to let
other men work; between the boy
cotting of any industry and an at.
tempt to benefit honest labor. Boy.
colts and strikes with violence are
simply acts of war against all honest
industry, and must in this country be
suppressed if the freedom oflabor is
to be maintained. 81

shortly after the declaring of the
strike. In a letter to the Post-Dis-
patch, written by the citizens of that
place, much abuse is lavished upon
"Furlong and his imps" for firing
upon women and children who were
only armed with cornstalks and
gravel" 1t is probable that the
women and children were only armed
with "cornstalks and gravel" but it
is noticeable that no mention is made
of what the men were doing at the
time and what was the nature of
their weapons. Pacific put her foot
in it when she allowed a mob TO take
possession of and run the place ac-
cording to its own dictates, and the
railroad authorities cannot be blamed
if they refuse to recognize any further
claim the residents may make upon
them.

Press Comments.

Oft has the poet sung the praises OF
the fearless veteran who died at bis
post, and many have been the words
of praise uttered for the true patriot
and representative who would lose his
seat in congress ere he would desert
the interests of bis people. But alas,
alas, for John I. Heard Leader.
If Congressman Heard is the hard
est worker that this district has ever
had a. representative, it is strange
that he found time to stop that work
at what is thought to be one of the
busiest seasons of the year, TO 60 ON a
canvassing tour. The first claim of
his admirers, coupled with the last
mentioned fact seems almost incon-
gruous.-Boonville Topic.
The picture fiend is absolutely des-
titute Of reverence; since he wriggled
into the newspapers he has become
Ubiquitous. No occasion is too insig-
nificant or too imposing, too humOr-
GUS or too solemn to defy his diabOli-
cal act, and he has become the terror
of public men and a source of unfail-
ing hilarity on the part of the public
before whose eyes their representations
are made to dance in hideous mockery
of themselves. The phiz of the latest
murderer, about to swing into eterni-
ty, is made to wear the cOuntenance

The eight hour system which is just
now agitating majority of the work
ingmen, like other movements of the
kind, should be entered upon slowly
and then only after careful and DELHI
crate consideration. So far the advo-
Gates of the move have advanced but
one argument in its favor and that is
by shorter hours more room would be
given for the employment of a larger
number of men. But this is after all
only a fiimsy argument and will not
bear enforcing, at least by harsh means.
Employers in some instances could
make concessions on this platform, but
in other cases it would be merely an
impossibility, because in che present
state of the country business is en-
tremely dull and many employers have
been running their business without
serious loss, perhaps, but merely with
very narrow margin of profit. If
this margin is consumed, as it would
surely be by the increased cost of
labor due to fewer hours, the inevita-
bic result will be work driven out of
the market entirely. Already great
enterprises which would have employ
ed thousands of workingmen have
been abandoned because of the in
creased cost of labor, and others will
not be encouraged. There should at
least be calm reflection on the part of
the workingmen on this eight hour
business, as at present they cannot af-
ford to follow the lead of unwise coun-
sellers, who do not care what happens,
so that they themselves are enabled to
gain notoriety of a certain kind.

ing the routine of his daily life. 1t
will be seen that it is anything but q
life of ease, but rather one of the most
continuous toll. Toll, too, such as
mere physical exertion cannot ap

is something tremendous. The work
ingman when he closes the door of hi;
employers shop behind him can &c

sponsibility TO his employer is con
cerned. He does not have every
moment of his home life broken In
upon by the pressure of great lines OF

ont the tapping of a brain which
teens with the care of thousands OF
workingmen, the profit and loss OF
investment, etc., and he actually can
