An Old Man Murdered.

GRAND RAPIDS, Aug. 29.-William A.
Quigley, prosperous fruit farmer, living
eight miles south Of this city, was brutally
murdered Wednesday afternoon by two
unknown Williams. He had been in poor
health for about a year, and Wednesday was
taken worse than usual. His wife lett him
to come to the city for medicine, and the
19-year-old son, with a neighbours l0-year-
old boy, was in field cutting corn. About
o'clock in the afternoon the son sent the
boy TO the house after water, and in few
minutes he came running back, frightened
and crying for help. On going to the
house Mr.. Quigley was found in an uncon-
scious condition, bleeding profusely and his
clothing all torn off except his shirt. AS.
sistance was summoned and the victim re-
vived at intervals long enough to tell his
story. II appears that he was sleeping on
"a lounge when he was suddenly attacked.
probably sandbagged, by two unknown
Williams, who dragged him up and began
pounding him. This is the last he remem-
bered. He had sold house and lot in the
city the day before and also horse, and
the money was probably the object of the
visit. But he had placed it in the bank
and the murderers succeeded in getting but
$40. Mr. Quigley fingered in terrible
agony until noon, when he died.

A City I'm Terror.

CHEBoYdAN, Aug. 2S.-Tho cityis terri
bly, excited over the apparent attempt TO
wipe out the town which is being made by
gang of incendiaries. Property owners
are patroling their possessions armed with
revolvers and all the iremen and police are
constantly on call. Tuesday six fires broke
out in different localities about the city,
but were extinguished with light damage,
but it was limited that they might be of
incendiary origin. This inference was
made certain Wednesday morning by the
breaking out of fire in Patrick Maloneys
barn on Market street, which was burned,
with it's contents, before the department
could reach the spot. The excitement be-
came almost a wild frenzy of fear when
the burning of the barn became
known, and this was stii further
II tensified at eleven o'clock yesterday
morning when fire was discovered in sever
al parts of the Thompson, Smith & Sons
warehouse. The tired firemen were unable
to cope with the flames and before the fire
was extinguished the big warehouse, with
its contents, valued at 81. 900, was con-
sumed. The fire and police officials have
investigated Tuesdays fire and found that
in each case the fire was of incendiary
origin, and this has still further incensed
the alarm felt by the inhabitants. The
absence of any clew and the fact that the
fires were set where there was every
chance Of their spreading and devastating
the town has induced the officers to appoint
large number of special deputy sheriffs to
patrol the town and discover, if possible,
some clew TO the fire bugs. Should any of
these miscroants be caught there, is no
doubt what would become of them in the
present excited state of public feeling. A
rope, convenient post and an excited
crowd would be the concomitants of the
scene that would render unnecessary any
court or jury to sit on the case. AS far as
known there is no motive in the fires un-
less it be to start a general conaagration
and in the excitement plumber the town.
The police have been ordered to run in all
suspicious characters who cannot give an
account of themselves Business is almost
at a standstll and determined men are
watching with ceaseless vigilance tho more
dangerous iretraps.

Conn. who will be 100 years old next
year, was one of the pioneers in manu-
featuring wooden cloth in this country,
says the Hartford Times. He is ma
tive of Yorkshire. England, and was an
infant when his father John and uncle
Arthur emigrated to this country. AT
that time England prohibited the en-
portation of machinery, and the two
men built in Charlestown, Mass, one
of the first, if not the first, hanG-
loom and spinning jenny for use in
an American woolen-mill. Before the
year was ended their machinery was
running in Charlestown and Newbury'

In the following year they started
their first extensive business i'll Byfield
