men were hacked and bleeding, the
furniture was demolished, the hang
ings aud laces DESTROYED. The wife,
made dumb with fright and anguish,
trembled beneath the scanty protect
ion of a sheet, and the noise of the
turmoil brought all of the servants
trembling at the door. But super Tor
strength of Om 'ssa finally overcame
the colonel and he fell, pierced to the
heart with the dripping sclmitar.
Then Omessa turned upon his wife,
and despite her cries for mercy and
her awful shrieks he plunged the
scimitar into her body again and
agaiI. Her cries became weaker, and
so she died.
Not satisfied with his revenge, and
apparently brutalized by the sight of
blood, Omessa dragged the body of
the colonel to the side of the bed,
lifted it across the body of his wife.
and by an effort of herculean strength
he drove his scitar through both. pin.
ming them to the bed. Throwing
open the door he shouted for all to en-
ter, dashed through the crowd tina
had gathered and fell insensible. He
has been arrested and now i, in Jail.

be spare in the effort to capture the
plunderer. 1t was stated to-day thai
the robber only got about $500 in
money and several thousand dollars

From the descriptions given, it is
supposed that the hold up was the
work of Rube Burrows, the notorious

it. The next moment he was covered

obeyed. Then the robber, sanding
in the car door. compelled the mes

all The money. While the operation
was going ON the fellow Was sanding
in the door coolly looking at his vic

HORRIBLE DEGRADATION.
a Sad Case of IntOxicatiOn-
Drunken Mother and Starv.

New York, September "A very
sad case of intoxication, with all the
horrors incident thereto, was discov.
cred yesterday by Officer Moyckel, OF
the Twenty-niuth precinct, on the
first floor of house No. 229 Est 127
street. There he found poor drunk.
en- wretch Of a woman, the mother
of six children, the eldest but
years old and the youngest a
nursing baby. The woman herself
was only 81 years old, yet her misery
gave her a much older appearance.
Her husband, John Clarke, had de-
sertet her nearly a week ago, leaving
her penniless. She had pawned
everything in the house, even the bed
and chairs. When the officers found
her she lay on the floor half dressed
and intoxicated, with her poor little
children huddled about her, the pic
ture of wretched degradation and sui-
fering. All of the children were in
describably dressed. Their clothes
were nothing but rags pinned or tied
alb ut them, and they cried piteously
for something to eat. Theli!tle baby
seemed almost ready to die, and the
others had a wild, hslf-demented
look in their eyes, that showed
that they were almost starved. Only
one of the six, in fact, could tell bis
name. On their way to the station
with an officer and their mother, the
little ones found banana peel ON the
sidewalk and In an instant they had
torn it to pieces and devoured every
At the station house the
mother, half unconscious, was locked
up and the children were taken in
charge by all officer of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty TO Children,
who first found clothes wherewi;h to
cover them and then took them to the
society's headquarters.

AN UNFORTUNATE CANDIDATE.

The distinguished pioneer, John Bid
well, presented most pitiable spectacle in
seeking the nomination at the hands of the
American party. Of all the side shows
IN politics, the American party has cut the
most contemplate figure. Whenever the
leaders of one of the great parties have
use for it, it comes into being; when they
have no use for it, it passes quietly and
obsequiously into obscurity. This year,
the old-time bosses concluded that the nom
ination of an American ticket would in
terfere with some of their plans, Or the
plans Of their employers. The more self
respecting and right-thinking elements of
be respected for possessing honest convic-
ton, however, triumphed, and the result
Is separate American ticket, with the
single exception that the candidate for
Governor has already received the nomi-
nation at the hands of the Prohibitionists
These side shows in politics present, in all
campaigns and in all States, the same as
pect. The candidate is named by little
action, whereupon another little faction,
having no.special utilization, takes up the
same candidate. Thus in some States, the
reenbackers, the Prohibitionists, the Ma
ionalists, and the Woman's Sufragists,
will hold their separate conventions, and
will consolidate into an aggregated form
upon a single candidate. In this way, it
may be said at the close of the campaign,
that the Woman's Suffragist received so
many votes for Governor, the Prohi-
bitionists may claim that the Pro-
hibitiop candidate for Governor received
so many votes, and the GreenbackerS may
claim that the Greenback candidate re-
ceived so many votes for Governor, and
each candidate will be able to show forth
a popularity Tor his special species of
fanaticism which is necessarily false and
misleading. In California, the Prohibi-
ton and American candidates unite on
General John Bidwell. He will receive
from three to FIVE thousand votes in the
aggregate, and they will be drawn about
equally from the old political parties, and
will cut no figure whatever in determining
the general result of the election, but it
will be easy for Prohibitionists to claim
the whole vote, and equally easy for the
American party to make the same claim,
and as each will be happy, and as the
matter is not of the slightest political
Importance, the American and Prohibi-
ton candidate and ticket may be dis
missed without further consideration.

THE PARTY OF OBSTRUCTION

The Democratic faction in the House
adopted new line of obstruction on Sat
urday by demanding the yeas and NAYS on
a motion to dispense with the call of the
House. The dispatches say that it does
not appear that the minority has any
thing to gain by such tactics. That is
true, but the supposed gain the Democracy
contemplates is the prevention of legisla-
ton. 1t imagines that it can then go into
the fall campaigns declaring that the Re-
publicans have accomplished nothing in
Congress for the benefit of the country.
The Democracy has played that way many
times. Even the Republican party, when
in the minority in the House, has at
times lowered itself to similar obstructive
levels. But it cannot be shown that such
devices have ever been approved by the
people. If political partisans would learn
by experience there never again would be
any resort to such maneuvers. However,
In the case of the Democracy obstruction
is born in its blood. Ii has ever been the
party of obstruction. II has never favored
any great progressive or reform movement
in national legislation. 1t has uniformly
made itself an obstacle and has at no time
hesitated to adopt an obstructive policy.
From its opposition to the spirit of free
dom as opposed to human bondage; from
its opposition 10 the homestead laws and
the payment of the national debt to this
boar it has been the party of obstruction.

THE Atlanta Artillery has resolved to
buy no uniforms 'north of Mason & Dix
on's line" until the Lodge election bill is
disposed of. If it becomes law that
valiant corps promise themselves never
again to buy any uniforms or accouter-
ments north of "Mason & Dixon's line"
What familiar old sound that is. The
rising generation hear it as strangers to it.
But the men passing the middle line OF
life recall how terrible the twang of the
"Mason & Dixon's" lire threat sounded
once in the long ago. 1t has lost its ter
rors The cline" is fiction, more so than
ever, and the threat to raise its ghost is
but the wall of the past. The artillery
company had best buy its uniforms al
home, anyhow. 1t is wise to patronize
home houses; it keeps money in cIrcula-
ton at home. If the artillery company
has been buying its trousers and gold lace
cup North" when it could procure them
in its own city or State as we'll, it has
been violating a principle of neighborly
reciprocity that ought to prevail in all
communities. But if it thinks that states.
manship is to be directed in the legisla
ton of the country upon the lines of the
preludices and politics of the artillery
company it will presently awaken to due
sense of its error.
