THE DEsPoILER OF A HOME KILLED BY TWO BOYS
A dispatch from Richmond, KY, dated Deem
Der 2Oth says: Details of terrible tragedy at Red
horse, small village 10 or twelve miles cut in the
country, were brought here to-day by two of the
participants, John Shearer, a middle-aged farmer
was shot to death by Alexander and Taylor Rice
jr. The trouble between the men dates back some
months and Involves the fair name OF Alexander
and Taylor Rlces stepmOther. Taylor Rice ST. is
well:to-do farmer OF excellent character, and has
lived In the neighbOrhOod OF Redhorse Tor years
on his own farm, which he with the aid OF his two
sons, titled probably. Mrs. Rice Is much younger
than her husband and is quite comedy woman
the mother OF several small children The Rice
family had been, TO all appearances, happy in it's
domestic relations until some months ago when
John Shearer by his attentions to the young wife
OF Rice, attracted attention and created talk
Unfortunately these attentions were not repulsed
by Mrs. Rice and it is alleged that the intimacy OF
the two became SO close that the wOman,S hus-
band left his home and came to Richmond, where
he has been for some weeks.
Last night Shearer, as was his wont, went to the
house OF MIS- Rice about O'Clock. As he entered
the house he was confronted by the two Rice boys
young men just grown. One OF them held pistol
and the other shotgun. The moment Shearer
was well inside the house the two boys opened fire
on him, and he staggered into Mrs Rice's bedroom.
falling dead on the floor, his body literally ridtled
with bullets. The woman whose fraflty had
caused the murder, seized her two little children
and ned 70 her fathers house, not far away. After
assuring themselves that their work was complete
the Rice boys came here, told their father what
they had done, and then surrendered themselves
70 the authorities.

A NATIONAL LABOR CONVENTION.
To Prepare . Plan OF Warfare feE
1SSS.

A telegram from Pfttsburg, Pa, Dec. Goth, says:
The labortng classes in Pittsburg and throughout
Pennsylvania are discussing among themselves
the United or Union Labor convention which will
be held at Cincinnati February -. The call for
the convention sets forth that In view OF the recent
votes polled by the labor party in Chicago. ST.
Louis, Milwaukee, and New York it has been
deemed necessary to call national convention
1t Is argued that by February next the labor
party VIII have Its plans matured, which requires
a convention OF the clearest coolest and wiSest
heads OF the united industrial element to formu-
late declaration Of principles adopt plan for
national union organization, and agree upon a
system of warfare for 1883. Every industrial ele-
ment or association is asked to be represented at
the convention. secret circular just sent out
by Guybert Barnes, secretary Of the Land and
that the league is not satisfied with the manner in
which the convention Is to be conducted. The cir
cular is addressed to s. I. Douglass secretary OF
one OF the most earnest advocates OF the cCnven-
ton at Cincinnati. The latter in referring to one
HeW W. T ng 5ess ae apSa
that no authority has been given for the labor
party to attend the convention. 1t is claimed
ITSELF .The organized labor Of our great cities"
II says "will be chary OF entering convention
wherein representatives OF peoples parties, sol
derS' organizations and the like are admitted on q
footing of equality with those OF the farmers and
workingmen OF our country" In referring TO an
inSinuatlOn tnaI the mOHOpOilStS Will nave lneIi
delegates at the convention in the shape OF labor
Ing men, the circular says: s.If YOU Will consider
our proposition OF forming clubs OF 100 meni-
Ders, these clubs to be represented IN po-
Atlcal conference by men OF their own
choosing. / think you viii agree with US that such
conference could be depended upon to man
certainly that by no chance could such confer
ence be captured by body. what we are try
ing to do is to provide some really representative
basis on which the great body OF the farmers OF
the country and OF the organized workingmen of
the cities can come together In political union
The letter further denies that q clique OF New
York politicians are working a scheme to regain
control OF the George vote for the democracy, and
that not 30 600 or 900 votes could ever induce
MI. George to again stand as candidate for q
public office. 1t Is said these charges were made
by 8. b. Heath OF Chicago, who is chairman or the
committee calling the Cincinnati convention.

Titus Closely Watched.

telegram from Belvldere, n. j., says: A night
Waterman now keeps close vigil over Jantor Titus,
convicted OF the murder of Tillie Smith. Sheriff
Van Camper considers this watch as very impor-
tant, in view OF Titus, previous conduct While
there may be no danger OF his committing suicide,
the officials feel little shaky about the prisoner
because OF the near approach oil the day on which
sentence is to be passed. Titus will be sentenced
by the chief justice On Jan. 4th next. day or
two ago the prisoner was visited by his wife, who
spent a considerable time In conversation with
him. He appears TO be somewhat more hopeful
than formerly, and clings firmly to the idea that
he cannot fail to secure new trial through the
writ Of error to be certified to by the chancellor.
Failing this, he also has more less hope OF ex-
ecutiye clemency being extended in his case. He
Is by no means SO sulien and mOrOse as some OF
the papers picture him.
