D-UBLE MURDER.
The Murderer Afterwards Takes His
Own life.

i he MufuefGf AltPfWafUS LAKES HIS
Own Life.
WcnOna, H., is in a fever of excitement
over double murder, followed by the sui
eide Of tue assassin, on the 18th inst. The
victims Of the brutal assassination are Peter
Howe, senior member Of the banking firm
of Howe x Son, of Wenora and his wife,
the former aged 73 years and the later %.
They lived IN large, two story frame
house, situated about half mile from the
business portion of the town. The only
other occupant Of the house was domestic.
AT O'Clock in the morning, as she came
downstairs from her bedroom 10 begin her
daily duties, the light OF "a lamp which she
C-rr.ed fell through the open door OF Mr..
and Mrs. Howes bedroom and revealed
CHASTITY sight. The walls and bed clothes
we're covered with blood, and lying on the
coverlet was car coupling pin, TO which
adhered hair aud Clotted blood. She ran to
communicate the terrible story 10 a Mr.. r.
win, Mr. HOwo's son in-law. The latter at
once suspected Charles BCrShart OF com
hitting the deed, and u watch was placed
on the rooms where he resided with his
wife OYER a grocery store, situated in the
principal business block of the town.
l3urkhart was observed walking up and
down the hallway apparently in great agit4-
ton.
1t was not long until he discovered that
sentinels had been posted outside, and he
went into his bedroom, procured "a razor
and cut his throat from ear TO ear, and was
dead man inside or five minutes. His
wife, who had been in an al dining room,
heard his dying means. When she entered
the room he requested her as best he could
10 ''care for the baby The cause of this
terrible deed is attributed 10 petty spite
on the part Of Burkhart
The domestic in the house of the murder
ed couple, Sarah Richardson, handsome
lass of 10 and BurkEart ep daughter,
was oftencd importuned to come aud live
with him, but she refused TO do so and he
thought the Howes were at the bottom of
her objections. He therefore concluded to
murder them. Some time during the early
hours of the morning he left his apartments,
procured a ladder, and entered a second
story window, descending to the room
where the fearful crime was committed.
Nothing was taken from the room, Burk
harris only desire being murder.
Peter Howe, the murdered man, had been
resident Of Wenona for nearly thirty
years and had amassed a fortune OF SEQ,
900. He was very charitable an possessed
a spirit Of philanthropy which led him
some time ago TO endow the Howe Institute
tute at Memphis, Tenn, the latter being
college for the education of INDECENT per
sons Of both races. The murdered wife is
sister of George Parks, the Magnolia (Ill.)
millionaire.
Burkhart, the murderer, was disso-
lutte, drunken fellow and very dangerous
when under the influence OF liquor. The
citizens OF Wenona emphatically express
themselves TO the effect that had not Burk-
hart committed suicide they would have
lynched him.

Something of a Sensation.

L'Electeur, published in Quebec, the or
gan Of tho provincial government, and sup
posed TO represent tho French Canadian
sentiment in Canada, has made decided
sensation by publishing an article in which
il points out tho advantage Of annexation
over imperial federation. IL argues that
annexation would entail scarcely any
change. The provinces would retain their
present limits they would enter the union
as states, whatever might be the extent OF
their respective territories and the dispro-
portion between them aud the proportion
already existing in the United States,
Prince Edward Island becoming the Della
ware OF Canada The federation debt OF
$500, 900, 900 would bo mere drop in the
bucket at Washington. The militia would
be reorganiZcd on the economical plan oil
the other states, and the army of customs
officers would vanish.
The article will probably cause move
ment among the French for annexation to
the states The French feel that they &c
not get fair share of power in the donin
ion government, and are ready for anything
that will give them more liberty and indie
pendencc OF action.

ficers of the committee to the vacancies by

anG by removal from the city of A. L. Wright

to fill these vacancies before mailing the call

ton on his part, directly or indirectly; neither
