A wELLsv1LLE HORROR.
IAN Old Man OF Eighty Years Eaten Alive
by Hogs.

WELLsvILLE, o., Jan. 90 Special !
Samuel Irkit, an old man who lived
with his son-in-law, j. Brinker, on a
farm near here, was eaten alive by hogs
last night. About dark the old man
went to his barn to see that the stock
was properly housed. Not returning
Brinker became alarmed and instituted
a search. Lying i'll a corner of the
.barnyard was the body of the old man
with his flesh torn from his face and
body by hogs, which were still preying
upon him. He was so badly mutilated
that recognition was impossible. 1t is
supposed that Mr.. Irkit, who was very
old and feeble, slipped and fell, and
being unable to rise, was tom to pieces
by the savage animals. The victim
was 50 years Old.

of Christian Hemme, is deeper than
ever. William MundfrOm, the stub
born witness who went back on his

ty dodge for the purpose of getting a

The Leader OF the Gresham Movement
Speaks for Illinois.
NEw YoRK, May 22.-Colonel George
R. Davis, OF Chicago, the leader of the
Gresham movement in the West, in con-
versation last night said: 81 did not
come east on a political mission, but
have met a great many politicians during
my ten days stay here. Several have
asked: How many votes are there in
Illinois for Gresham for second place?
l have invariably replied, Not one
'Illinois is for Gresham for the first
place. It is the first place or nothing
with US. I do not think Mr.. Blaine's
nomination probable. Gresham has ab-
sorbed the Blaine enthusiasm in the
West, and when the convention meets I
think he will be found to have strength
in the East. Gresham is q man who is
growing popular every day"
"All the Republicans / have talked
with" said ex-Assistant Secretary Chas.
f. Coon, "agree with me that Mr..
Blaine's. latest communication only
places him further beyond the reach Of
nomination. No friend of Mr.. Blaine
can question the sincerity OF his with
drawal. To doubt his word is simplya
reflection on Mr.. Blaine. think Mr..
Blaine realizes that his election would
be difficult and doubtful, and he is more
anxious for success Of his party than the
qualification OF his personal ambition
