MURDER IN MISSOURI.
A Whole Family Murdered in Cold
Blood.

CUBA, Mo-, Sept. 23.-James Davis farm,
xmiles east of here was the scene Of hor-
owned and occupied by Malcolm Logan and
his family, consisting of his wife, a son six
years old, a 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 burned. Yesterday morn
railroad mile and half from the house.
The body was badly mangled by train, the
scalp and skull all shown. He was killed by
sharp instrument, probably hatchet. The
light Of burning house was first seen about
five o'clock in the morning by neighbors.
Some charred remains of the inmates were
discovered during the day. Logan's muir
dered wife was found near the door and a
hatchet was found near by and the supposi-
tion is that it is the same weapon which was
used to murder the whole family. Logan
was seen at work in his field late on Tuesday
evening and the common theory is that he
was enticed from home on pretense of need
ed assistance and vas murdered for money
supposed to be in his house as it is known
he had lately received $500 for some land.
There is as yet no clue to the murderer.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 17.-Archbishop Pur-
cell nine years ago failed for over $4,000
year ago his assignee, John b. Mannix,
when pressed for settlement, proved a
defaulter, having speculated and lost
$500, 900. Ex-Gov. George Hoadly, one of
the assignee's bondsmen, will make good
his part of the bond. There was a meet
ing of 1900 angry creditors yesterday at
which a letter was read trom eX-Gov.
Hoadly, addressed to l. j. Miller and
Gustav Tafel, trustees of the estate of
Edward Purcell, in which he proposes
to pay $4,000 as a final compromise or
composition Of his liability on the bond

sureties for the sum of $3.50, GOO, and in Or
der to obtain MS release from all claims
against him on said bond without preju-
dice to the trustees right to recover from
his cO-sureries. Such compromise or
composition is in no wise to affect the
right Of said Holland, Stewart and Walsh
to call upon him for such ratabe portion
of such debt as they may be entitled to by
law MIR. Hoadly proposed, In addition,
TO paying in cash the $62, 900, being one
fourth Of the whole amount Of the bond,
to deliver all books, papers and property
of every description which have come in
to his possession as attorney for Mannix.
He asks to have allowed him in full for
his services and the services of his law
firm and any member thereof the sum OF
$4,000 in addition to the sum of so, 200
which has already been received.
BY doing this MIR. HOadly wrecks his
fortune and deprives his children of heri-
tage. He Is disappointed man in poll
tics, and now, in his old age, he gives
away fortune to pay for the thieving of
man he trusted and favored.
