Mr. Mckinley Tired of the Tariff

Issue.
CINCINNATI, Noy. 5.-The TImes-Star's
Canton, (Ohio) special says: Major Nc
Knley said today, speaking of the Ohio
elections:
~ am convinced that the Judgment of
our citizens does not approve the con-
slant agitation of the tariff issue in the
face of the fact that it can accomplish
nothing. Unjust surely be apparent 10
all alike that the conditions without which
effective legislation is impossible do not
exist. The Republican Senate and the
Republican President are bulwarks against
which free-trade forces dash pOwerless,
and with 80 immediate prospect of a
change in these conditions the only re-
suit OF continued agitation is to disturb
business and retard enterprise which the
new law designs to encourage. In spite
of all, the bill is working Its way, and
from being Oh the defensive, as year
ago, we are now on tbs aggressive. When
business is already good our people will
not long tolerate movements which dis
turb it IN the face of the conditions have
named, and you will find that Republ-
cans and Democrats alike will call halt
on the men whose stock in trade is not
fair, square argument, hut juggling mis-
apprehension Of the same. Ohio has gone
Republican, and l accept the result as
indicating that the State stands by the
Republican party with full faith in its
protective principles as embodied in the
tariff low and more than this, Ohio stands
as she always has-in favor of full dol
lar and a sound currency"

Two weeks ago farmer George Hell

The remains were buried four days later
from st. Johns Lutheran church, of Erie,

chase of one by his family.
The transfer was made Oct. &c, and
when the remains were exhumed the
casket was opened at the request of his
family, aud II hOrrfyiBg spectacle was
presented. The body had turned around,
lying on its face, and it aud the interior
of the casket bore traces of n terrible
struggle with death in its most awlnl
shape. The distorted and blood-coyerod
features bore evidence of the horrible
agony endured The clothing about the
head and neck had been torn into shreds,
as was likewise the lining of the coffin -
Bloody marks OF fiDger nails on the face,
throat and neck told of the awful despair
of the doomed man, who tore bis own

fingers had been entirely bitten off. and

Foul Deed in Virginia.
A WIDOW AND HER THREE CHILDREN
MURDERED NEAR CALvERTON.

MURDERED NEAR CALNERTON.
WARRENToN, VA, Nov. 10.-Amid the
smokinc ruins of their home Mrs. James
w Hines. n widow, and her three chill
dren we're found this morning, burned
almost to a crisp, but not sufficlently TO
conceal the fact that they had been MUIR
dered. The house had evidently been
fired TO remove the traces OF the crime,
which had been instigeted, it is thought,
by robbery.
The house was in Fauquier county,
near Calverton, On the Virginia Midland
Railroad. and about eight miles from
here. A nelghbor some distance away
was aroused shortly after daybreak by a
negro, who had been working IN held
near by the Hines house, and who, when
the fire was discovered, ran to alarm the
neighbors.
In the meantime another neighbor see
ing the fire, fastened across the fields to
the burning dwelling, and bursting in
the door discovered that another tragedy
had preceded the confagration. .,
One daughter, eight years old was foand
near the door with bullet hold IN her
head and her face spotted with blood.
The bodies of the mother and other two
children were frightfully burned, but
enough of Mrs. Kines body remained to
show that she had been toully dealt with,
and portions of her clothing not consumed
had marks of blood upon them.
A coroner's jury gave a verdict that
they had been murdered, and that the
house had been set on fire. The colored
man who ran to rouse the neighbhers but
who, it is said, did not 90 to the relief OF
the Hines family, was arrested. Mrs.
Kines' husband dropped dead year ago,
and two of her children were away from
home at the time of the tragedy.
1t is said that Mrs. Hines bad recently
come into the possession of some ready
money, and that this fact was known
The theory, based upon the circumstances,
IS that the thief entering the house was
detected by the eight-year old child,
whom he killed. and then with the crime
npon his hands killed the mother as she
slept, or was rOusing, as her body lay
upon It's back and to hide all his crimes
set fire to the house. aud added to the
crimes of robbery and murder that OF IN

The New Legislature.

The newly. elected Legislature Will be
a very busy one. Already there is enough
work cut out and stacked mp before it to
keep the body employed for some time.
Among The most important matters it
will have to attend to will be the election
of judges for all the counties and two
circuits, the re-apportlonmen of the
State for congressman and members of
the legislature, and the election of a
United States Senator. All the basement
officers of the Capitol are also to be elect
ed. Much of this work will have to lie
completed before the adjournment for the
Christmas holidays
The Governors message will, it is I'M
derstood, contain numerous recommends
tions to the General Assembly. Among
the subjects he has given special
thought to is the oyster question, and the
consideration of this will doubtless con-
sumo considerable time. The Governors
idea is that with proper management the
oyster-grounds can be made to yield a
large revenue to the State and that the
problem is one that all sections of the
Commonwealth are interested in.
1t is probable that the railroad COM
mission bill will be introduced, and
though nothing has lately been heard
from the debt question it is more than
probable that this will come mp in some
form which will demand serious attention
Another problem that will confront the
Legislature is the reduction of criminal
expenses, and if this is carried out on the
line indicated by the view of the last
Legislature appointed to examine into
the matter it will involve considerable
change in the numbeFof the lower courts:
In the new House there are about
twenty laTsesand two doctors and the
BALANCE are farmers and country mer-
Grants. Among the newly-elected men,
bers OF the Senate there are eight lawyers,
one editor, and two doctors. The rest
are merchants and farmers.

A Brute of q Doctor.

CUMBERLAND, Nd. November 9.-This
morning, about $50 o'clock Frank Latin
was walking along thu Baltimore
A. Ohio railroad track when he fell into
seattle guard" cutting a fearful cash
in his leg. Friends carried him to the
office of DR.. Craigen, the county physician.
The doctor examined the wound and after
dressing it put several stitches IN it and
then asked for his pay, which was 81.
The men were surprised, as they thought,
he being the county physician, there
would be no charge. The doctor said if
they did not pay him be would undo his
work. They insisted they were pennilless
and the doctor cut the stitches, thus
undoing his work. DIR. Craigen said that
he did not intend TO do that kind of work
for nothing, and that he cut the stitches.
IL IS said the mayor will at once call the
attention of the states attorney to the
matter. All persons who are aware of
the doctors action express indignation
and disgust. DR.. Craigen is the physician
in charge of the jail, almshouse and
nsant asylum and IS also member Of
The United States pension board of exam
ming physicians for this district.
