Dastardly Deed Committed by Young
Girls,
NEW YoK, June 16.-A Washinp>
ton special says details of the almost
unprecedented attempt at a double
murder by two young girls, the oldest
only IS and the second hardly in her
teens, have been received from Frede>
ricksburg. The victims were Mr.. W..
+. s. Waller, .an old gentleman 65
years of age, and his sister, Miss Jane
Waller. Mary and Jennie Green,
sisters, were the assailants. A dis.
patch says Mr.. and Miss Waller re,
sided in stately old mansion on a
farm about twenty-five miles from
Fredericksburg, Va, near the village
of Newmarket. The extenslveness Of
the Waller estates made the house
somewhat remote from those of their
neighbors. Here the couple had lived
together for years, managing their
farm and depending solely for assis-
tance about the house on the two
Green ginls. They had been reared by
the Waller family, a matter which in
the eyes of the friends of Mr.. Waller
was sufficient to guarantee their
honesty. Last Friday Mr.. Waller re-
ceived quite a sum Of money, which
he kept in his room and the girls were
aware of this fact. They waited until

way, is in ashes, not half a dozen
houses remaining out of 500, and the
worst of all there is large loss of life.
Ten bodies have thus far been recover
ed. A number of persons are missing
and are supposed to have perished.
One short hour did the whole work.
The property saved is Insignificant. A
clean sweep describes the situation. A
thousand men are at work clearing up
debris for the railroad company. TWEEN.
ty contracts for rebuilding have been
already let. Many men lost their all,
but are determined to start in again.
The property loss falls directly on the
pioneer element of the city. Hundreds
of people are camped out. There are
meagre facilities for the relief of suff-
erers, but the people of this city are
very open-hauded in their efforts to
relieve the destitute. Prompt aid
from the Candian Pacific railroad is
expected. Families were compelled
to abandon their homes at moments
warning and flee for their lives. Bus
mess men In search of valuables were
forced to rush through the flames and
smoke or perish. A number of persons
sought refuge in the water. One man
was foundi In well, where he had
lowered himself to escape the flames.

sure that Mr.. and Miss Waller were
asleep, they quietly armed themselves
With stout clubs aud descended to the
old gentleman's apartments. AS they
entered the room Mr.. Waller awoke
and seeing who it was demanded
angrily what they wanted. Without
waiting to reply the girls rushed at
him. Though aged Mr.. Waller was
still quite an active man and springing
from his bed he seized the elder and
would have disarmed her had not the
other hit him over the head with her
club and knocked him senseless to the
floor. Not content with this, they
belabored his senssless form with
blows until believing that life
was extinct they left him to
seek for Miss Waller. Rushing into
the old lady's room they dragged her
screaming from her bed and. with one
savage blow from a club laid her sense
less. They then beat her about the
head until the blood gushed forth in
streams and until all vestige of her
features were literally beaten out Of
recognition. Finally, satisfied that
both of their victims were dead, the
girls secured about $3.50 In money and
fed. Several hours later colorsd boy
one of the tenants on the farm. while
passing the mansion observed the door
was open and stopped to investigate.
On entering the house he discovered
the senseless and bleeding forms OF Mr..
and Miss Waller on tho floor and im-
mediately rushed off to give the alarm .
By O'Clock in the morning the whole
neighborhood was aroused and hun-
drede Of people fiocked to the house to
learn the particulars of the affair
and offer their assistance in capturing
the assailsnts. With the arrival of
the physician Mr.. Waller was restored
to consciousness and although in very
precarious condition, was able to de-
scribe the occurrence of the night.
Parties were instantly organized and
the search for the two girls was underA
taken with ardOr. Miss Waller cam
not recover. The Waller family is
enc of the most prominent in the
State.

The successful manner In which they
acquitted themselves, was indeed
wonderful. when 1t Is remembered that
they have been studying articulation
only about eight months.
Their infi-misies began at the ages
mentioned, as follows: Walter Mid
dIeton lost his hearing and voice when
he was 2 years old. He il now 13.
Although his articulation is not very
clear, his voice Is good, and with cul-
tivation he will speak fuentIy.
H. d. Ma nderville lost his hearing
and voice when he was 8 years old,
and utters the sound Of words very
distinctly. lie is now "A years old.
Louis Schexnaydre lost his voice at
the age Of years. He is now l5.
He fnds some difficulty in giving exs
pressions to words, but has improved
very-much in the past two or three
months.
A composition by Miss B. Fetter
was translated in sign language, after
which "The Shoemaker" q farce, was
performed by Masters Sheznaydre and
Latiolais. This closed the exhibition.
Under the able management Of the
present superintendent the standard
of this institution has improved very
much dr-ing the past twelve months.
He has not only raised the standard
by introducing the new features of lip
reading and articulation, but he has
revived the mechanical department,
and other added much to the benefit,
comfort and pleasure Of the pupils.
Under his administration the prop.
erty has been putin thorough and good
repair, a new dormitory for the boys
has been added, the finances are in
healthy condition, and the next sess.
ion will open under more favorable
auspices than any previous session
since the war.

MIR. EDIToR:-By the way Of sugges-
ton, please allow me to ask IL it would
not be capital idea for the citizens of
Lambertville who are SO situated, as well
as inclined, to furnish the best board to
individuals and families, to take such
measures at an early day to procure such
boarders as would best pay them for their
outlay. Now there are thousands of good
paying boarders in Philadelphia, who will
the coming Summer go out and board in
towns and villages near the city, during
the Summer months. For example see
our neighboring village of Carversville,
Pa, every Summer filled with boarders,
and SO could our beautiful and we'll shaded
little city of Lambertville, too, be filed
with 200 to 500 boarders in private fami-
lies II timely steps were taken. Let every
one who wants such boarders form d
union, advertise properly, and beyond
doubt they would find all that is desired.
Hoping to hear from many who would
gladly furnish board to city boarders at
their respective homes In this city and vi
cinity, would say address the subscriber
by letter, at our post Office, Lambertville.
Very respectfully,
REAL ENTERPRIsE.

agement of the late rival agricultural So
cieties of this county. The Delaware

SO, 900 and went up inside of foar years,
aud it is not certain that it wouldn't have
died sooner II it hadn't had 30 long a
name, while it took the Hunterdon
County Agricultural Society at Fleming
ton ten or twelve years to get in debt to
the same amount and snuff itself out. 1t
must, however, be said in its favor that
it has really been dead for some time

the player can change the tune as ofton as
he wishes by simply taking out one roll
of heavy paper and inserting another. The
paper is punched In holes of different
lengths. As the player turns the crank the
paper is unrolled over set of reeds through
which current OF air passes. When the
air rushes through hole a note 10 pro

so.nsshios Of i" Interest,"

Rev. II. W. Beecher, in the New York
Independent, thus gives his opinion upon
farming upon borrowed capital and one OF
the best definitions OF " interest that We
ever read:
"No blister draws sharper than interest
does. OF all industries none is capable to
that OF interest. II works day and night,
in fair weather and in foul. 1t has no
sound in its footsteps, but travels faster
II gnaws at mans subsistence with invisible
teeth. It binds industry with Its film, as
fly is bound upon spiders wei. Debt
rolls man over and over, binding him
hand and foot. and letting him hang upon
the fatal mesh until the long-legged interest
devours him. There Is no crop that can af-
ford to pay interest money on farm.
There Is but one thing raised on farm
like it, and that Is the Canadian thistle,
which swarms new plants every time you
break its roots, whose blossoms are prolific,
and every flower the father Of million
seeds. Every leaf Is m awl, every branch
spear, aud every single plant is like
platoon Of bayonets, and a field full of them
is like an armed host. The whole plant is
torment and vegetable curse. And yet
! farmer had better make his bed OF Canada
lhistles than attempt TO lie at ease upon
interest"
