Bay with his wife and little daughter,
He was preparing to leave the island for
Belize, and had sold his property, re-
celying for Il $500 in gold.
Shortly before his Intended departure
Q neighbor called TO bid him farewell,
He knocked at the door, and, receiving

being unlocked. Finding no one In the
hall or parlor he called. Again there
was no response, Alarmed, he searched
the house, and opening the bed room
door sickening spectacle met his eye.
Mr.. Hobbs, his vile and child were dead
with their skulls mashed in, their heads
nearly severed and their bodies covered

A Baptist University.

CHICAGO, May 2O,-A dispatch from
Boston stating that at its annual meet
ing the American Baptist Educational
Society had decided to establish an In
sttution Of learning in Chicago, and that
S650,OOO Of the 100000 proposed had
already been subscribed has aroused the
nveliest interest among the Chicago
Baptists, "Mr, Rockefeller Is a reticent
man" said the Rev. H. s. Taylor, OF the
Englewood Baptist church. Though his
offer is q generous one, 1t Is rumored
that he will make the amount something
like $500, 900 before he gets through, l
suppose II is indiscreet to say that the
old university place Is the site most "a
yorably looked on by the committee, as
II would likely increase the price. Since
the Baptist people lost that property,
which was bequeathed them by Stephen
A, Douglas, they have felt q desire to re-
gain possession Of II, His. AeW-i In the
hands Of an insurance company, and Ia
bound up some way by litigation, With
this present donation, and II fair price
10 asked, think the committee would
take back their old grounds and on 1t
