Monay-A Desperate Fight.
With $500 in cash hidden in belt strapped
to his body, Joseph Hefner met his death at
the hands of assassins shortly after mid
night on the new Northeast Pennsylvania
Railroad near Rush Valley. Pa, recently.
The circumstances surrounding the murder
leave no doubt but that Hefner was killed
by some of the Italian laborers employed
upon the construction work, who were
aware Of the fact Of his having the money
tn his possession. The murdered man kept
q boarding shanty for the laborers.
On Sunday night JOSEPH Hefner and his
wife attended christening at shanty kent
by Joseph's brother. About half-past II
O'Clock Joseph and wife and countryman
named Stephen Stofko started for their
Shanty. Stofko shortly afterward left them
and the man and his wife continued on up
the railroad. When they had gone about
three-quarterS of mile they passed two
men sitting upon the track. one on each
side. After going a short distance the men
got up and followed the couple.
When the men got opposite to He1ner
they both grabbed him. The wife went to
the assistance of her husband, but one Of
the men pushed her off, and told her to
take care of her baby. The other man had
hold of Hefner, and he called to his COM
rade, joe, TO get the money. Mrs. Hef-
ner ran back to her brothtr-in-laW' shanty
for assistance. Several men went with her
to the place, and when they arrived on the
ground they found the dead body OF Het-
ner.
An examination revealed the fact that he
had been stranged TO DEATH His clothing
had also been ripped open, and the belt he
wore about his body containing $500 was
missing The contractor. Colonel Jameson,

while passing the field where the quarrel
took place, farmer by the name of Pea
Ross found the skeleton of the boy, with a
bullet hole through his right eye, an old re-
volver and the boys shoes lying near. The
dis overy created great excitement, and the
officials of Petersburg we're sent for. Mar
shall Myers, George Gullick and Smith Will
Jams went at once to the scene and made
three arrests. A young man by the name
of Grub, nephew of Hiram Grub, con-
fessed to the officers that his uncle had
beaten the boy to death; that during the
night he was awakened by pistol shot in
the house, but never learned what it meant,
and that the next morning his uncle placed
the deal body Of the boy in wagon, and,
after covering it over with hay, went to the
Patoka Bottoms, where he buried it. The
prisoners were brought to town this MORN
ing, and their trial will occur as soon as
jury can be impaneled. Who took the body
from the grave and placed it where it was
found is a mystery that no one up to the
present time has been able to fathom.
Grub, the alleged murderer, maintains
stolid indifference to his surroundings, and
under no circumstances can he be prevailed
upon to say word concerning the affair

Lecture on a Plant for Ores Requirin

v
Concentration.
A largely attended and interesting
meeting of the Technical Society of the
Pacific Coast was held in the rooms of the
association at 40S California street last night,
John Richards presiding and Otto Van Gel
dern acting as Secretary. Six new members
were admitted.
A long and carefully prepared address was
delivered by IL. G. Behr on Experimental
works for ores requiring coarse cOncentra-
tion." The speaker illustrated his remarks
and explained the principles involved by
means of colOred charts. He said that such
. plant as he referred to was a necessity on
this Coast but had not been built ON account
of the large expense. The experimental
plant which was the subject of his lecture
could be constructed for $4,000. By this plant
the ores were first raised by elevators and
crushed by heavy rollers. The ore passed
out into cars, was elevated and again
crushed, but in much finer way. He then
dwelt on the subsequent treatment of the
crushed ore for the extraction of the valuable
metals. The lecture was listened to with
profound attention, and at its conclusion the
remainder of the society's session was &C.
cupied by discussion among the members
of the ideas advanced by Mr.. Behr.

ing the boy with club, and the boy was
overheard to cry; ''Please stop; you have
broken my backP' From that time the boy

A Sensible View.

Editor J. G. COulson, of the La Harper,
published at the thriving town of La
Harpe, Hancock county, takes philo'
sopicsl and very sensible view of the con.
gressionsl situation In this district. In q
recent issue of his paper he says:
There seems to be q determined effor,
on the part of large majority OF the
democrats of this district TO make strong
effort to recspture the district from Con
gresham Gest. 1t is foregone conclu-
sion that that gentleman will be renomi-
mated and the democrats argue that with
proper organization and a good leader the
district may be rescued from the hands OF
the republicans at the coming contest. II
viii be necessary to use prudential judg
ment and harmonic every effort, securing
to the candidate the full strength of the
party in the district, and the selection of
such candidate must be wisely considered;
q man of intelligence; of more than aver
age ability; leader worthy to be fol-
lowed; fearless advocate of the peo-
pies rights. We would not urge local
itY as qualification. but all things
equal otherwise, it might be well to con-
slider that. All know that Congressman
Gest has held Rock Island county solidly
almost. because of the great interests the
government holds in that part of the
district, and the people gave hearty sup
port to their local candidate, because they
thought their interests would be best sub
served in his hands. Nowi The demo
Gratis have a man in the person of Ben
Cable. who is fully conversant with the
needs of that locality as is Mr.. Gest. He
is man of ability and very popular
man; one VITO holds the respect of all
classes, and one who would serve the
people. If sent to congress, as we'll as any
we have yet had. Democracy can make
no mistake in placing Mr.. Cable in the
field. He is the peer Of any possible can
didate and locality in this instance must
be taken into consideration.

August, 1887, was a noted month. Il
gave extreme heat and extreme cold, the
results of which were disastrous to the
public health. Cases of collie, cholera
morbus and diarrhoea were abundant and
there were numerous calls at the drug
stores for Chsmberlain's Collie. Cholers

this city tell US that this remedy has been
more frequently called for during the
past month than any other preparation.
and that it has proven a panacea for the
very worst cases. Chamberlain's Collie,

Racine flew past him at once, and led by q

The Struggle on the Home Stretch
There was little change in the order of
running until the home stretch was
turned when Racine was two lengths in
front and galloping easy, with the others,
except Gymnast and Marion c, hopeless sly
beaten. When the grand stand was
reached Marion c, by a terrific burst OF

loosen the rein, when the great colt
quickly regained his lead and dashed
under the wire winner, and untouched
by spur or whip.
