TWICE HANGED. Windsor Ill.,, Febru-
ary l5.-.Miss Georgia Aldridge, the lady
who so narrowly escaped death by hanging
at the hands OF an unknown rufian las.
Friday night, regained consciousness to-
day. She had lain in stupor betwixt life
and death for thirty six hours, and still ex-
haustcd from excitement and the nervouse
shock. She suffers great rain in her chest
and back, and the attending physicians do
not know how the case may terminate.
Miss Aldridge cannot yet talk much
about the assault. She has no remembrance
other assailant, except that he was large
man. He spoke to her only in a whisper,
so she cannot positively know whether the
voice was that of any one she knew or not l..
After she had been hanging few moments
aud while he was in the house probably
writing the note he LETT, the strings broke
and she fell to the ground. lie came back
and hung her up to the tree for the second
time She was hang ing to the tree. It
seemed to her an age She remembers, she
thinks, hearing some. one come whistling
along by the house, coming in cutting her
down. There is no clue that will be of
any service in detecting the guilty man.
1t is as much a mystery as ever There
arc many theories advanced, but nothing
but weak circumstantial evidence to sub
stantiate them. The people are still wild
with indignation over the outrage and
would not hesitate to mob the guilty man.
1t is a great disappointment to the infuriated
people that the young lady cannot furnish
any substantial evidence. The village will
offer a reward Tomorrow, and the county
and the State will be asked to add additional
rewards.

tilizers says: The number Of samples de-

ALIEN LANDowNERs.-It is stated that the
best gcldsand silver mines in the Uaited States
bslong to foreigners, by right of purchase.
Very startling information hes been given from
time TO time concer oing the absorption Of many
millions Of acres of our land by Europeans.
Both parties profess to regard this with alarm,
and Congress las been importuned TO intc rfere
for future security. Rich men in England aud
Ireland are said TO have introduced TO Illinois,
Nebraska and Kansas a tenant system, such rs
prevails in the old world. The North American
Review shows that twcnty.nine aliens own
20,647 900 acres of land, principally in the
States Of Texas, Kansas, Wisconsin, Florida,
Colorado, Mississippi, and in the Territories Of
New 9 Mexico and Wyoming. The Chicago
Tribune adds other statistics which brings the
grand total up to 80, ,OOO, 900 acres The same
paper states that "some of these alien owners
have acquired a bad reputation at their own
homes. The Duke of Sutherland, who owns
45O, 600 acres of American land, is a notorious
Scotch evicter. He almost CLEARED whole
| shire (Sutherlsnd) in Scotland in order to turn
| his estate into grouse moors and deer forests.
| His countryman, the Marqui. of Tweeddac,
American land Holland company owns
| 100000, in New Mexico, including a portion
| of tLe celebrated Maxwell land grant an En-
glish syndicate owns 5000, 900 acres in Texas
and another 2,O0O, 900 acres in Florida, and
third GOO, 900 acres in Wisconsin"
Now and then, we hear of Congress appro-
priaiing land grants. These arc the fragments
Of the public domain, the little that is left
Aliens end vast native corporations have alb
sorbed, lawfully or unlawfuly, possessions
that would make kings and princes opulent.
We are curious to see what Congress will do
with the comparatively small amoun, of public
land now available for settlement.
The people of this country would, if the
truth were known, be astoundei at the grip of
Europe upon the United States, not only in
land tenure, but many other ways.-L4ugusta

the rate of twenty miles an hour heard the

the entire train Of freight cars were dashed
to pieces, every man aboard the ftieght be-
