goods would cost to the largest retailers here.
1t should also be considered that ladies restricted
their selections to such limited stocks as found else

variety of shapes in fine and medium grades-whe black

WHOLESALE MURDER.

for His wife and Children.

CuBA, Mo, Sept 22.-Six miles east Of
this place, and three miles from Leesburg,
on the old 81 Louis aud Springfield wagon
road, Is situated what In early times was
Known ~ the James Davis farm, owned ia
late years by Malcom Logan, highly 70.
spected citizen OF this CDrawford) county.
His family consisted Of a wife, a sou, sdx
years old, female child Of two years, an
infant OF two and half months and an
adopted girl seven years old. Yesterday
they occupied their comfortable home.
To-day there is no home and family.
During the night all were murdered and
the dwelling consumed by fire. This
morning the body OF Mr.. Logan was
found upon the railroad track ene and one
half miles from his homo, and near william
Wallaco'E, The body was badly rnangled
ny an enstbound train, as " twas carried
east rom large pool OF blood, where he
was doubtless killed. The hat, the skin OF
the scalp and the skull all show that he was
killed by sharp instrument, aud the yize
OF the cash indicates the blade OF hatchet
lhis bespeaks crime horrible enough for
one day IN one county and one family, but
the ruined home OF the murdered man
shows how depraved and dendish
q robber can become. The light OF
the burning house was first seen by
mi.t Juu' DuNh, N uelkhDOT, ABOUT D
o'clock a, m, and she sent word 10 Mr..
McNlcboi, another neighbor Tho house
which was large log building weather
boarded, was about all consumed when
approached by the neighbors Some charred
remains OF the inmates were discovered
during the day. Logan's murdered wife
was found near the door. There was
hntchet lying near, The supposition is that
the same Ratchet that murdered tho hus-
band and father in the hands OF demon
murdered the wife and all the children,
with the exception, perhaps, Of the infant,
which the fire could have oyertnken with.
out further human agency than the appli-
cation OF the torch Mr.. Logan was seen at
work Ia his field late yesterday evening,
and the commonly expressed theory IL that
be was enticed from his home on the pre-
tense that some person needed assistance.
and was murdered for money supposed %
be in his house, as IL had been reported
that be had sold some land for $3.50.

bays, barbors aud creeks of Canada and to
the adjacent islands, without restriction as
TO distance. II also gives them the right to
land for the purpose OF drying their nets
and curing their fish, providing they ar
range with the owners Of the property
they may use and do not interfere with the
British fishermen. The shad and salmon
fisheries and all rivers are reserved for
British fishermen. Article 2 gives British
fishermen the same rights and privileges
on the western shores and coasts north OF
the thirty-sixth parallel. Article 2 admits

ing articles Grain, -four and breadstuffs

MORE DESTRUCTION
Prophesied by Crazy Negro at Cha..a-
nooga.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept 23.-A prophet
by tho name Of Hichmond Reeves has app
peared In this city and created great sem
sation IN predicting the destruction Of the
city by nineteen earthquakes. He has
chosen the summit Of Cameron Hill as his
rostrum, and appears there each evening
at seven O'Clock. The hill rises two hun
dred feet above the city, built around its
Flagstaff and a pine thicket The hill
Is too high for residence sites, and
is therefore. lonely and uninhabited.
Last ThurphHy evening voice was
heHrd up there IN tho darkness calling
loudly, az II In earnest prayer. Il was
repeated the next night, and officers
they approached the man disappeared
In the thicket. This happened each
succeeding night, and be seemed TO have tho
powers Of disappearing like wiIl-o'-the-
wisp, and puzzling his pursuers. Monday
Eight he aroused the whole neighborhood
for squares aronnd by calling; "Flee for
your :. lives, destruction Is at
hand He was chased and
stoned, but escaped again in the
thicket Stories OF his prophesies were
spread abroad, and when darkness settled
down over the hill last night hundreds OF
people quietly weDded their way up the
slopes, The town clock struck the hour,
and when the reverberations died away
behind the hills the voice OF the mysterious
man was heard The spectators APP
Pronched gradually nearer, and soon
formed circle around the speaker. He did
not seem 20 be Disconnected by their ap-
pearnnce, and continued preaching at the
top OF his voice, He predicted the de-
struction OF the city, the overthrow OF
Lookout Mountain, and the opening OF the
earth from the Atlantic 20 the Pacific. II
am a messenger OF God, y said he There
are TO be nineteen earthquakes; one has
already come. Four stars will fall, one in
the South, ono in the East, one in tho
North, one In the West and then the earth
qunkes will begin" Great excitement ex-
lists among the negroes here, and many re-
vivals are being held.

prehlstorlc Discovery in wisconsin.

KAuKAUNA, Wis, Sept. 26.-Workmen
engaged in excayating a sewer came upon
the ruins of stone building at depth Of
eight feet. The stone ;irst found bore
traces Of fine workmanship and polish.
Further digging developed a quant.ty
of ashes, about twenty-five bushels of
which were removed, when another wall
wns struck. The stones were finely
faced, some being blackened as IL by fire
and smoke. Others must have been sub
subjected to great artificial heat, as they
had crumbled into lime. The work was
found but foot or two above bed rock,
and shows evidences of workmanship that
could have been performed only by a
highly civilized race. 1t must have been
done centuries ago, as large elm tree bad

THE COMMONWEALTH.
LouIsviIIe Leaf Tobacco Market.

There has been no Improvement what
ever in the tone or tendencies of the mar
ket, except that somewhat more evenness
of prices has been produced in the specially
depressed grades recently by sharply re-
duced offerings. This had the effect of
bracing the market somewhat, but not OF
raising in any degree The nondescript
and mongrel grades, and indeed some lines
Of common and low medium leaf, sound
and dry, but Of common texture, have sold
as low probably as any prices paid in
twenty five years. Included in this special
ly depressed category is dry Green river
leaf. Low grade Burley, as well as dark
tobaccos, have been irregularly favorable
to buyers; but the quotations Of neither
these nor any other grades can be lowered,
as the only difference is there is nearer
approach of off grades to the extreme in
side limits Of prices In the meanwhile
both types, from and including good
medium up, have been offered sparingly
and have sold at full prices-resales Of re-
jected tobacco showing greater or less
gains In all cases. Confidence in the upper
half Of the grade categories of both types,
but especially of Burley, is. gradually
strengthening. There are very favorable
reports from the CROP though complaints
are coming in to the effect that the warm
and moist weather of the week has been
better adapted to putting sap into the
plants than gum. Cutting has been de-
layed somewhat, but it is making good
progress, especially east of Louisville,
where perhaps 80 per cent. of the crop has
been safely harvested We quote 1885 to-
baccos as follows for full weight packages:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The Washington
scientists have combined against Virgins.
They all agree in pronouncing him crank
IA person Of no scientific attainments,
withouta knowledge of the first element
ary principles of physics, without standing
among scientists and withoutcredit among
sensible men. ''If he is entitled to any
name besides that of crank, it is astrologer.
His ways are the ways of the astrologers
OF the dark ages. But he has not wit or
learning enough to be classed even as an
astrologer. Scientist he is not
