COLUMBIA, S. c.. September IA family
feud between Captain Richard Hogan and
the Huffimans, CT Blythewood, Fairfield

CINCINNATI. O., September ga horrible
domestic tragedy came to light here. 1t is
a case where a young mother, suffering
with brain trouble. took two of her small
children, and proceeding to the river,
dragged them into the water and all three
were swallowed up. The woman was Mrs.
Caroline Steinle, who lived with her hus-
band, Christian Steinle, and four small
children, in q comfortable house near Delhi,
this county Mrs Steinle was but thirty
four years of age, and for the past six years
has been slightly demented. About six
years ago she attempted suicide by swallow
ing paris green, but was saved by prompt
medical aid.
On Tuesday morning last Mrs Steinle left
her home, taking with her son ten years
of age and daughter year younger. Tho
two remaining children were sick in bed.
When Steinle returned home at O'Clock
that evening. he discovered his wife's abb
sence. and searched the neighborhood all
night for her.
Friday dispatch was received from
Lawrenceburg, Ind, stating that the body
OF small boy had been taken from the
river at that place. 1t was not even
suspected at that time that the body was
that of one OF the Steinle children.
Saturday while some fishermen were
working near Delhi, they found the bodies
OF a woman and child floating in the
river. The remains were taken ashore, and
later identified as Mrs. Steinle and her little
daughter. 1t then dawned upon the au-
thories that the body of the boy found in
the river at Lswrenceburg was that OF the
other child.
The husband and father was heart
broken over the affair, aid was with diff
Guilty prevented by their ncighbors from
jumping into the river and ending his ex-
istence. Friends took charge of the re-
mains, and they were borne to the bereaved
household. The body of the son was sent
for, and last evening it arrived. and was
laid by the side of the mother and daugh-
ter.
No one could be found who saw the poor
woman commit the terrible deed. nor is it
known at what point she jumped in the
river. 1t must have been a horrible sight
to see the demented mother dragging her
children to their deaths.

Nav York, September 3.-The report
that trust had been organized by the
tropical fruit men of New Orleans did not
create much concern among the ba
mana importers of this city. George
II. Richardson, of 22S Greenwich
street, selling agent of the Atlas Line OF
steamers which bring TO this port an aver
age of eight cargoes of bananas per month,
stated that he was aware of an attempt on
the part OF certain English firms to organ
ize big trust for the control of the trop-
ical fruit trade, but he did not believe that
it could succeed because of the fruit being
perisbable. If bananas could be stored
like sugar, oil or goods of that character, q
trust, he said, may cause some alarm. A
part of the plans of the English trust EN-.
braced, Mr.. Richardson said, the construc-
ton OF ships capable of carrying from 30,-
900 to $1,000 punches of bananas hung up.
At present the largest vessels are able TO
bring only IA, 600 punches in LAYERS.

day, and in the evening there was grand
dress parade of the corps. 1t was a most
beautiful sight and was made more attract
i've by the martial music furnished by the
First Regiment Band.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, and over
forty thousand visitors were in camp. Ex-
cursion trains brought thousands here, and
Columbus was represented by an immense
throng. The features were guard mount,
dress parade and review. In the dress
parade, as regiment after regiment marched
on the field, their bands sending out mar
tial strains in honor of their Commander
in-Chief, and as the suns rays caught the
steel of gun and sabre, the sight was grand
beyond description. The vast line extended
as far as one could see from the west to the
color line. Part of the men wore their dress
helmets which tended to set of the monot-
ony of the line Here and there stood
regimental bands, headed by gorgeous
drum majors. Busy Adjutants hustled
their men into line. The infantry formed
in order of their encampment the right
resting on the parade ground, facing
south.
When the long line had been formed the
reglmental au1 1utantS rode out ana repOrteu
their respective commands, present or ac-
counted for. Then the impressive cere-
mony of receiving the line officials was be-
gun and this, perhaps. was one of the sights
of the day. All the officers were well
mounted and as the long line of prancing
horses and brilliantly attired officers swept
up to their commander on gailop, the
scene was grand. Then the line officers
were sent back to their respective COM
mands, and the revelry began. Governor
Foraker, the commander-in-chief, sat in
front OF his staff upon a magnificent gray
horse. He had no insignia of his rank upon
himself, but on his saddle shone the three
stars of his position. Behind the staff was
the Cleveland troop of cavalry as guard Of
honor.
Finally the whole command began to
move past the reviewing officers, General
Axline riding ahead. As each officer came
opposite the Governor his sword fell from
him in graceful salute. and the pompous
drum majors did themselves proud when
it came their turn.
