been replaced by republican. AS
john WOlgamuth was the best post
master Hartford ever had, the quality
of civil service reform necessary to

hand was of course correspondingly
rich and soup-erior.

THE Anderson county farmers are
now up in arms against the binding
Irvine trust and propose to pay not
above fifteen cents pound for Irvine.
The question no one has yet answered
is, how will the farmers harvest their
grain if not with the binder? The old
fashioned cradle would not suffice, if it
could be had. which is now doubtful.
The Anderson county farmers speak of
turning their pigs into the wheat, but
that sounds slightly Plckwickian- Pigs
in the clover is one thing and pigs in
the wheat quite another.

NOW FOR A REST.
President Harrison viii Take Vacation
in Order to Recuperate.

WASHINGTON. April 5.-The president
has practically determined to take a few
days rest and recreation outside of Wash
ington as soon as he can do so without sac
rifcing public interests. He has been IN
dera severe strain mentally and physic-
ally for the last eight months and 1t is
beginning to tell on his health. Friends
and physicians have advised him to take a
short respite from official duties, and he
has promised TO do so at the first favora-
BILE opportunity. He has made some in
uuiries about Fortress Monroe, and ru-
NOR was soon started that he was going on
a cruise in Chesapeake bay and to Fortress
Monroe. Dates were fixed by rumor for
tomorrow and Fortress Monroe for the
destination. There are several obstacles
in the way o. a trip being made SO
soon, the chief and all sufficient
one being lack of an available vessel.
There are two revenue cutters at Baltimore
one being out of commission and the other
undergoing repairs. One of them could
soon be put in condition for the presidents
use and orders to that effect may be issued
in a few days, provided the president
decides on trip by water. There are also
two lighthouse tenders at Norfolk either
of which could be utilized if desired
There is usually a naval vessel in this
vicinity in summer time for just such
trips AS have been recommended to the
president, but it so happens that there is
none here at the present time. it is, how
ever, very probable that the president will
leave the city for few days before the end
of next week, but it is not likely that any
definite arrangements as to destination or
means of transportation will be made for
several uaVS vet.

EIGHT MURDERED AND BURNED.
Two Young Texans Arrested for Shock.
ing Crime in Titus County.

FoRDYCE, Ark, April 5-M. B. Dickson,
sheriff of Titus county, Texas. has ar
rested Frank Schulz at this place on the
charge of murder.
On the night of the 10th of December
last the house of J. r. King, well-to-do
farmer of Titus county, was burned and
the charred remains of King, his wife and
six children We're found in the ashes.
Upon examination it was found that the
skulls of all the family had been crushed
in. The alleged murderer, King and his
son, aged 20, had killed hogs and they
were to move into new house a few hun
dred yards distant and they had carried
the meat 10 the new house and young
King had slept there TO guard the meat
the night of the murder. Before
going down to the new house for
the night young King had used the
adze and left it at the yard gate. Suspc-
ion pointed to Kings son-in-law Schultz,
a first cousin to the young man arrested
here, who had run away with Kings
daughter and had forged an order for mar
riage license. 1t was the fear of being
prosecuted for forgery that caused him to
murder King and his family. Shultz.
Kings son-iu-law, had made threats and
has since confessed to friends. His cousin
did the killing of the son, he killed King
and his wife and then set fire TO the house.
The children were from 2 to IA years of
age and were found where the beds stood,
except girl IA years of age, who was
found near the door as though trying to
escape.
Young Schultz who was arrested here,
came to this county in January with John
Parham and has since been living with
Mr.. Parham He says he can prove that
he was forty-five miles away at the time of
the killing, but Sheriff Dickson says he
has positive proof he was seen near Kings
late that evening
