that historical whiskey punch which she
did not give to the Pan. American dele
gates few months ago, but which mar
temperance fanatics are bound to believe
she did. A specimen letter recently re-
ceived by Mrs. Harrison runs thus:
"Can it be possible that the contents
of this slip of paper are true? I cut it
out of little paper called the Journal;
l cannot bring myself to believe it is
true, but if it be, then oh! Mrs. Harri-
son, stop and think of what an awful
mistake you have made by putting the
bottle to your neighbors' mouth Just
TO think you, with your honored us
band, were placed at the head of our
nation-for what purpose?' Ohl was it to
deal out death and damnation to our
fellow beings, who, with yourself, were
created in the image of God? Alas 1

luted. / had a dear brother of that
name, who would have died for
the cause of temperance. i am
glad he is not alive to know
that such an awful, disgraceiul act took
place in the Executive Mansion. Look
back at the lovely example which Mrs.
Hayes left you, and in the name of God,
who has said: Be ye clean who bear the
vessels of the Lord and in the name
aud for the sake of suffering humanity,
do. oh do lot it be the last. Pardon me
if you consider my language too strong,
but you know nothing of the real, in
tense agony which mothers, wives, sis-
ters and children endure by the traffic
Will you, oh will you, continue still to
make drunkards while you read in your
bible that no drunkard shall enter the
kingdom of heaven? leave this to you

emboweled and cutting his intestines
into small pieces and scattering the m

the most interesting case that ever came

Comm and the Finest clipper In the

COMma and the Finest Clipper In the
American Fleet.
New York, December 22.--When the
American ship Robert L. Belknap
dropped anchor this morning off Bed
loe's island. after long passage from
San Francisco, dozen sailors jumped
over her side into q small boat and
hurriedly pulled to the battery. They
we're greatly excited and seemed glad to
be liberated from the cutter, which they
characterized as the "hottest" they ever
sailed in. They stated that the first
mate had been in irons for nearly two
months. While off the Horn the mate
quarreled with q seaman, and the latter
was thrown overheard by him and
drowned. The mate was considered a
severe character, and never allowed the
forecastle hands any peace while at
liberty. He often picked qHarrels with
the men and maltreated them on the
slightest provocation. The Belknap is
under command of Captain Stables, who
is considered hard master, and has
been in the habit of carrying with him
brutal officers. The vessel left New
York year ago for San Francisco, and
on her arrival at Golden Gate her crew
told g pitiful story of cruelty on the part
of the captain and officers. The Belknap
is considered the finest clipper in the
American fleet.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
NILES, Ohio, December % This com.
munity was startled this evening by the
discovery of one of the most wholesale
and bloody butcheries that ever occurred
in this section of the State. The victims,
five in number, are Charles Shelsr and
wife and three children, and the crime is
supposed to have taken place at an early
hour this morning. When the inhuman
deed WAS discovered, at 5 o'clock this
evening, all FIVE of the bodies were stiff
and cold in death, with their throats cut
from ear to ear. Shelar and wife were
lying together across the foot Of the bed,
the three children on the floor in differ
ent parts of the house. Shelar Of late
drank heavily, and it is rumored that he
and his wife did not live happily. The
theory advanced is that Shelar in fit Of
madness cut the throats of his wife and
children and then his own. Shelar pur-
chased razor yesterday evening.
Kittie Meeker, the little sister Of the
murdered woman, caused the discovery
of the tragedy. She went to the house
to deliver the evenings milk, as usual,
and was unable to gain admittance.
Charles Mossman was in tie vicinity and
she told him about it. He went with
her to the rear of the house, and, finding
the door open, entered. The first floor
of the house was deserted, but q terrible
sight met their eyes in the second story
A dead baby was on the floor in one
room; two murdered children, with
gaping, bloody throets, lay in their bed
in another cham Der, while the murderer
and his wife lay dead on their owr
couch.
1t appears that the wife was the frs
victim, and that she made desperate
fight for her life. The broken handle o
the razor was found by her side. TheE
came the bloody slaughter of the chill
dren. The murderer then apparently
took lamp and went to the mirror ant
deliberately cut his own throat, and
staggering to where his wife lay, threw
himself upon her body. The scene o
the tragedy was sickening. Niles is in
tensely excited, and strong men WHIT
viewed the bodies turned faint anC
rushed into the open air, and womer
had to be borne out of the house. The
only theory advanced thus far as to tht
cause of the crime is insanity.
