TIE CANTEEN.

The System of Canteens Established at
Military Posts Found to Produce Ex-
ceIent Results in Improving the Morale
of the Men.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The canteen
system esta blished by the War Depart
ment at the various military posts is
producing excellent results in improving
the discipline of the army, lessening
punishment for minor offences. reduc-
ing drunkenness. and in other ways i'm
proving the moral tone of the private
soldiers. In February last general
order established ''canteens." These
cantcens consist in a general way of a
store in which all goods needed by the
soldier can be purchased, and where
reading rooms are set apart for their
use. In these rooms card-playing, smol-
ing and other harmless amuSementS can
be INDUCED in. and the profits from the
articles are divided among the soldiers.
Reports received from various posts
bring most gratifying results TO the
War Department of the operation of the
canteen system. The men are more
contented than ever before known, and
having home" in the canteen. as it
were loiter less around stores in the post
towns. DeSertions, too, have percepti-
bly, decreased.

SAVANNAH, Ga. Dec. 21.-Whep the
jail at Jessup was attacked early yes
terday morning the military were about
half mile distant. BY the time the
detachment of the troops reached the
Jail, the mob had Dispersed leaving the
dead bodies of the negroes jackson and
Hops in their cells. The commander
of the military had suggested to the
mayor that soldiers guard the Jail, but
the mayor said the sheriff could protect
the prisoners.
The Georgia Hussars returned here
yesterday. The Brunswick company
remains on duty by the request of the
mayor. The Hussars say the trouble is
over. They say hundreds of colored
people We're taken into the houses of
leading white citizens and protected
from danger.
4 .Jessup dispatch to the Morning
News. dated 6 p. M. says Mayor Hobbs
has called public meeting to tax"
steps to defend the town tonight. 1t is
believed that the negro desperate
Brewer and a large force of negroes are
near the town ready for a night attack.
Citizens are arming to aid the Bruns-
wick Rifles if necessary.
A special train was run out to the
brick-yards, where Brewer was reported
to be, and detachment of armed men
was sent out as scouts. Mayor Hobbs
had received word from Brunswick that
Ryan. the white man accused of inSti-
eating the trouble, was in Brunswick.
but the mayor will not take steps to
have Ryan brought back.
There is still great excitement in the
country around .Iessup, but affairs will
probably quiet down soon. 1t is the re-
gion of turpentine distilleries and saw
mills and the Jessup trouble is likely
to disorganize labor for some time to
come.

ESALE BUTCHERY.
Charles SheIar, of Niles, o., Cuts the
Threats of His Wife and Three Children
and His Own.

anu Ills oNns
NILES, O., Dec. 23.-This community
was thunderstruck last evening by the
discovery of one of the most wholesale
and bloody butcherieS that has ever Oc-
Cured in this section of the State. The
victims. five in number. are Charles
Shelar, wife and three children, and the
crime is supposed to have taken place at
an early hour in the morning. When the
inhuman deed was discovered al about
five o'clock in the afternoon, all five
bodies were stiff and cold in death with
their threats cut from ear to ear.
Shelar and his wife were lying together
across the foot of the bed, the three
children were on the floor in different
parts of the house.
Shelar was mill man, and had steady
employment, but of late he drank heavi-
ly and it is rumored that he and his
wife did not live happily together. The
theory advanced is that Shelar in a fit
of madness cut the threats of his wife
and children and then his own. The
weapon used was razor, and was pur-
chased by Shelar of a hardware dealer
Saturday evening.
The streets in front of the house are
packed with excited people, eager to
get glimpse of the CHASTITY spectacle.

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. GA party
Of squirrel hunters from New Britain
yesterday found in the woods along the
railroad track, near Newington, the
torn fragments of a number of letters
and of several bank checks. They also
found an ulster overcoat, which was
stolen from store in New Britain by
tramp on the day that the mail bag was
stolen from the depot at that place.
The letters found yesterday, together
with those found the morning after the
theft. are supposed to comprise all that
were in the bag. 1t is evident that the

TUsCoLA, Ill, Dec. GA sensat ional
shooting affair occurred at Newman
Tuesday night in which Detective John
Sutton lost his life at the hands of
young Arthur Craig, of indianapolis, his
daughters lover. Craig was a favored
sutton for the hand of Miss Hattie SUIT
ton, but the father opposed the we'd
ding. which he had reason to believe
would occur Tuesday night or yesterday.
Sutton met Craig in a store Tuesday
night, and Selling the young man by the
throat, placed cooked revolver to his
temple, saying: Now go, or I'll kill
you" AS he said this he pulled the
trigger, but the cartridge failed to ex-
plode. A second attempt was made, but
before it was carried into execution he
fell backward with two bullets in his
brain from the young mans revolver.
The latter gave himself up to the Off
GERS, but the coroner's jury acquitted
him of any crime, and he at once re-
eurned to Indianapolis, fearing VEN
geance at the hands of the dead mans
relatives and friends. Young Craig is
nephew of Representative Isaac b.
Craig. of the Thirty-second district. and
has good reputation. The young lady
exonerates her lover from blame.

CROOKED WORK.

Decidedly Questionable Methods Alleged
to Have Been Practiced in the General
Land Office in Relation to a Patent for
Valuable Iron Lands Near Duluth, MINI.
An Investigation in Progress.
New YORK, Dec. ga Washington
special says: ''The investigation now
in progress in the General Land Office
in relation to the fraudulent patent for
valuable iron lands near Duluth is
nearly complete and the testimony
taken shows either a fraud unparalleled
in the history of the office Or inatten-
tlon, carelessness and iLcompetency
amounting almost to criminality. 1t
shows beyond question that the entry
OF this land was examined and approved
for patent by Douglas, the clerk in
such matters, while a controversy in
yolving the same land was pending be-
fore the Secretary and while written
protest and caveat against the patent
signed by James X. Reddington, rep
reSenting adverse claimants was actu-
ally lying before him with the other
papers. 1t is further shown that after
the entry had been so approved, it was
taken out of its regular order, and sent
to the patenting division of the office,
"htIc IL W DIS EuSlleu through 10 patent
in four days, ahead of thousands of
other cases entitled to patent in regu-
Lar order. and ahead of hundreds of such
patents actually written out and ready
for signature. 1t further appears that
the patent was recorded instantly upon
its deliverery to the parties interested,
and that several conferences were also
recorded with evident intent to put the
record title in the hands of ostensible
third parties.
The grave question now, aside from
the punishment of any of the offenders
within official reach. is, how the title
thus fraudulently obtained can be re-
claimed by the Government. 1t is prob
ably impossible to vacate the fraudulent
title without suit by the United States
under direction of the Attorney-Ge General.
This, it is believed, will be one result
of the investigation. What will be
done in other directions remains to be
seen. The exposure of this scandal has
greatly excited attorneys and others in
tereSted in land matters. If such opera
tions are possible there is no security
for honest claimants or reputable attor-
neys and an emphatic deman nd is made
for protection in the future by thor
Ough reorganization of the per>onnel
and change in the methods of the Land
Office.

a PARTISAN HOAX.
a Sensation Created in Paris by Reports
that the King of Greece Had Abdicated
and that the Empress of Austria Had
Committed Suicide.


that the King of Greece Had Abdicated
and that the Empress of Austria Had
Committed Suicide.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-There was a sud-
den and mysterious sensation in Paris
yesterday over a report that the King Of
Greece had abdicated. Since the sud-
den change of government in Brazil,
Europeans are ready to accept almost
any report of revolution and change of
dynasty, no matter how unheralded or
inexplicable. The old notion that gov
ernments that have not been seriously
opposed are secure from Immediate
overthrow received a severe shock when
Dom Pedro fell. The report in regard
to Greece, however, proved unfounded.
Hardly had it been disproved before
another sensation was caused by rumor
that the Empress of Austria had COM
mitted suicide. This also proved to be
canard. The Parisians are conse-
quently in such a skeptical mood that
they are not inclined to believe any
news whatever. just who has been
amusing himself by hoaxing them is not
known. 1t is singular that the false re-
port was not current in any other capi'

make visit at the house of Jones Rich

the house some unknown party unbuck-
led the breeching straps of the harness.
The young couple rc-entered their We
hicle for the purpose of continuing their
journey. and it was not until grade
near Mr.. Richards house was reached
that they discovered that any thing was
wrong. With the breeching straps
loose it was of course, impossible to
keep the buggy from the horses legs.
He was spirited young animal, and,
becoming frightened, ran away.
Mr.. Lloyd held to the reins and told
his companion to keep her seat. She
lost her head completely, however, and
jumped from the flying vehicle. She
struck tho ground head-first and
heavy silver hat-pin was driven into her
skull. penetrating the brain at least Two
inches. Before the frightened horse
had gone much farther Mr.. Lloyd sue
ceeded in jumping to the ground in
safety. He hurried back to where Miss
Irwin lay unconscious and carried her
into house near by. Before medical
aid could reach her she was dead. 1t is
not known whether the act which re-
suited in Miss Twins death was prac-
teal joke or was done maliciously by
some enemy An investigation will be
made to discover, if possible, the cul-
prit.
