victims of R,e vengeance of the Bald Knob
bers
Far from the nearest town, in the shadow
of the Ozark range, lived the men who had
been Instrumental in bringing to jus
tice the murierouS leaders OF the or
ganization; and since the trials which
resulted in the apparent Generalization of
the band these men have lived IN the belief
that their troubles were over Yesterday
mornings sun, however, shone on sight
which proved conelusively that the law-de-
| flying organization still existed From the
limbs of a mighty oak tree on the banks of
a creek, only short distance from the pace
of the Green and Eden murder, five corpses
were swinging in the breeza, and each one
bore the dread symbol OF death at the hands
| OF the Bald knobber-a knife cut across the
| brow.
A farmer who was early on his way to
| town was the first TO see the terrible sight
and be quickly summoned the neighbors
who took down the bodies and found them
to be those of Charles Green. james Eien
William Enders Jonathan Wiley and EN-
met Anderson. All these men had sworn to
the facts of the killing of Green and Eden,
evidence Dave Walker was sentenced to pay
the extreme penalty of the law. The bodies
were placed in a wagon ana carried to the
homes of their families, and there the story
of the latest Bald-knobber raid was heard.
At the home Of Green and Eden, who occu-
pied jointly long double log house, all was
terror and dismay. As soon as the walls of
the bereaved women and children could be
stilled the following was told to the horrified
| listeners:
At precisely l2 o'clock knock was heard
at the door, and in response to all inquiry
the family were told 5nat neigbbor had a
stalled wagon near by and requested assist
ance. Green and Eden Immediately went
out, and as they passed the gate a single
pistolshot was heard and out into the moon
Light from the bushes rode about 200 Bald
knobbers, with the disguise that year ago
was well known in the southwest They
surrounded the two unfortunate men, a
slight struggle followed, and then all rode
away with their victims The terrorized
family could do nothing, and were afraid to
stir ont of doors until daylight
At the residence of Enders much the same
story was told. At Wiley's house the de-
mand for admittance was refused, and the
Bald knobbers broke down the door and
dragged the man from the house During
the melee several shots were fired at the as
sailing party by the members of the family,
and they are confident that one of the raid
ers was wounded. Anderson was captured
while on his way home from Chadwick
The whole country is again under a reign
of terror as no one knows who did the deed,
and each is distrustful of his neighbor.
Sheriff Williams has gone to the scene of the
murders with large posse of men, and says
he will hunt down the perpetrators of the
deed if it is possible. The only clew is the
Bald-kuobbar who is supposed to be
wounded.

Mrs. LangtrY.

AS we sat in Albaugh's Theatre, Wash
ington, few days ago, witnessing the dra
matte talent and personal attractiveness o
Mrs Langtry in the play "As in Looking
Glass" we realized to the most satisfactory
extent the enjoyment Of contemplating her
matchess person, listening to her exquisite
Voice and the frequent exercise OF an almost
peerless dramatic power. 1t is rare that one
sees more beautiful form or sweeter ex
preston of countenance, and whilst the eye
follows the every movement oil her action
the mind and heart seem spell-bound as by
the magical influence Of a beautiful dream.
Her costumes are all tasteful, graceful and
beautifully adapted to increase the attract
iveness OF her natural charm of person.
Most Ot the dresses are made with the in
tention that more OF the lovely white skin
should be exposed than we should sanction
in the costumes Of our friends in social in.
tercourse, but AS there is not the least i'm
preston OF grosSness in her form, and the
theatre permits this style of attraction in its
exhibitions and the public encourages it,
there can be no association with the idea
OF improperly in this fascinating display
OF an actress charms.
The play is not OF much dramatic merit,
and seems to have been prepared purely for
the display oil Mrs. Langtrys peculiar tai
Sueo' ~ dbouuuo ia oSChlC CuCIt
and beautiful and thrilling tableaux. The
principal mechanical scene is the night at
Monte Carlo, with the illuminated Casino,
and the moonlight ripping over the water,
the effect being 10 make the water appear to
be'in motion with the moons rays falling
across it, just AS it is seen at the ocean side
Or some broad expanse Of water ON u lovely
moonlight night, with the sombre shadow of
the forest To complete The scene. In the first
and second acts Mrs. Langtry wears pink
SILK, en- train, richly made up, cut in the
deck ike ti.1 cleit in the heart, with the
opening reaching low DOWN back and front,
very meagre s,eeves and no jeweiry. Prob
ably the most striking tabIeau is that in
which she drass herself around the stage on
her knees, kissing Sir Thomas hand and i'm
ploring him To preserve inviolate the secret
OF her past lite

Rockville-Its Future.

Mr.. Eater Having on several occt-
sion, when advocating the necessity of
new Court House, bt en met with the argu-
ment, among others, that it would tend to
beautify Rockville at the OK pense OF the rest
of the county. have replied; "Yes, and
it should be SO, as Rockville is there Tor The
sake OF the rest Of the county and anything
done TO advance its interests reacts to the
advantage OF the county The two, ~ II
certain extent, stand or fall together
You will not, therefore, | trust, deem it
obtrusive if, though not resident uf our
county seat, | say few words with refer
epce TO the proposed town meeting for con
sidering measures relating TO its future wei
fare. 1t is already pretty town, showing
taste in its residents, admirable in its situa-
ton and climatic position, and well adapted
for further development and sanitary ar.
rangements. With care as To surrounding
each house, as far as practicable, with yards,
and planting the streets with trees, it will
become lovely place. HGrper'S Weekly, for
January 9TH, in sketching Louisville, KY,
gives an idea of what the homes OF Rock
vile may become New Haven, the most
beautiful city in New England, is so because
of its Films and the exquisite taste of its resi-
dents, as shown in their yards and gardens,
though without the natural advantages of
Rockville, as far as situation is concerned.
Care in these respects now, before il is too
late, will bear rich fruits in the future. But
these, important as they are, fadeinto rela
tive insignificance when compared with the
vital necessity for planning wisely as u the
future water supply and the disposal of
sewerage waste. Frederick, Cumberland and
Elkton have had terrible lessons, and in
towns and villages of neighboring States are
stricken households and mourning friends
and deprecated estates from ignorance or
carelessness in regard TO drainage and clean
illness.
The grave sanitary question of the day,
and one receiving the best efforts of the
ablest minds is how To dispose Of excremea-
