A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Young Kentucky Girl Ravished and Her
sIurderers Killed


Young Kentucky Girl Ravishcd and Her
sIurderers Killed
LOUISVILLE, May PA story of brutal
ravishing and murder and swift vengeance
upon the murderers comes from Sandy
Hook, a mountain town near Ashland, in
eastern Tennessee.
Near Sandy Hook. KY, Maud Fleenor
died recently from being thrown by her
horse and ravished by George and John
Wilcox, brothers, who had been her
suitors. She had promised to marry Amos
Queen, W no had met her while she was
teaching school near Sandy Hook and
about three weeks ago started to visit a
friend near where she had taught The
Wilcoxes were passing the road she trav-
eled, saw her coming, hid in the bushes,
scared her horse. the horse ran away and
she was thrown and had both legs broken.
The Wilcoxes picked her up uncon-
scious, revived her, drew straws as to
which she should be compelled to marry,
bore herto cabin, and demanded that she
agree to marry John, to whose lot she fell.
She refused and tainted. They tried to
set her legs, and kept her prisoner in the
cabin. When found by her brother and
affianced she said, 1.-The Wilcoxes did it"
and died. Examination showed that she
had been chained 10 the cabin wall and
also had been outraged. The Wicoxes
were captured and confessed. whereupon
they were shot to death by the brother
and lover.
They explained in the confession that
they chained the girl because she had
attempted to escape. Miss Fleenor was
the duughtor of a prominent citizen Of
Richmond, Va. who moved TO Sandy
Hook some years ago, and died there.
She was only twenty-one years old, a
church memboy and Sunday-school
teacher.

RYPOCRITICAL.

Our neighbors Of the Examiner do not ike
the idea that our Supervisors should favor
laying down stone-block pavemenis unless
there is first laid concrete foundation, cost
ing about as much as the pavement itself.
Tie effort to make the stone pavement costly
i, pretty generally understood to be in the
interest Of the htuminous pavement, which
a few Spectators have in hand. So far as
TIE CALL is concerned it does not object to
the bituminous pavement, but we are very
much of the opinion Of Mr.. Mcgee, the
real-estate dealer: that those persons
WHO desire a pavement which costs so
much and which wears out so soon
should pay the expenses of such pavement.
Cur objection to the chicanery of the last
Board Of Supervisors was mostly in the fact
thas they compelled inc people TO put down
a costly concrete foundation, which was not
necessary. The concrete foundation is being
continually broken up tor sewers, water and
gas pipes. y stone-block pavement is really
better when laid upon good sand founda-
tion ihan upon concrete. Tor it can he easily
repaired ana changed. If parties connected
with the ErGu5iHer are in the bituminOus-
pavement ring it is easy to understand why
they dislike change which will put stone
block paven ents within the reach of our

SET THE WHITE NAN FREE.

In an interview with Gath" Senator Car
Isle said: The Civil War set the whitemau
OF the South free. 1t emancipated him a
great deal more than it did the colored
man." Mr.. Carlisle did not go into reasons,
but they would be found probably in the
greater capacity OF the white man to take
advantage of opportunities. Both races had
much to learn, but the white nan learn ed
faster OF the two. Mr.. Carlisle added that
there was nothing in the present condition of
affairs to warrant healthy mind in gloomy
1orebodlngs. The delicate problem of so
many millions Of men under little rule but
their own will, he says, affects the mind ac-
cording to its health or nervous sensibility.
For himself he regards the outlook as as
sured. He sees no sign of a civil war On
the tariff question Mr.. Carlisle considers the
present attitude of New England the natural
result of the perfection OF their manufact-
uring system and their lack of raw material.
Cheap transportation along the coast brings
foreign coal and iron to their mills at lower
rates than the domestic article can be sup
piled at. With cheap raw material they can
hold on to markets in competition with
manufacturers in the interior who have
raw material at their doors. After all, self
interest throws good deal of cOloring upon
peoples political views.

PocKEr-BooK sTATEsNTANsH1r.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal says that with one or two
notable exc piions the Republicans who
voted against their party on the cloture res
olution 'are known TO the country and the
world only by the size of their pocket
books, to the potency of which alone they
owe their present place and power" These
pocket-boOk statesmen are condemned not
more emphatically for their final vote
against cloture than for their equivoeation
in regard to their intended course. Beliey-
ing that they could rely upon assurances
given, the Republican leaders protracted
what turned out to be useless debate on
the Election Bill. II the Senators who had
the bill in charge had known that eight Re-
publican Senators would vote against it
they would have spared themselves and
their party the humiliation of defeat. The
Journals correspondent remarks that it is
matter Of public notice that wealth In the
Senate brings with Il an apparent lack OF
personal and political responsibility. OF
course it does. When a man buys seat in
the Senate as he would buy any other COW
eted luxury he is apt to regard his vote in
the Senate as something he may use for his
own advancement. The only remedy in
sight is to let the people elect Senators.

ton. To say nothing of the probability that
if the late DIR. Jones had considered his title
good he would have taken some measures to
realize on the property while living, any
expectations Mr.. Allen might entertain
would be tempered by consideration OF
the fate of litigants who have attempted to
dispossess body of men Of their property
on the strength of newly discovered title
deeds. A favorite way of throwing clouds
upOn titles has been to bring TO light title
deeds executed when the land they cover
had no considerable value. Bat thirty or
forty thousand citizens whose holdings are
threatened by the discovery of such papers
are not easily dispossessed. They can con-
tend. and with Justice, that it is their enter
prise which has given the land they occupy
its principal value. Some of them have
paid high prices for land under the suppo-
sition that the title was good. An OLD Deco
even. if properly witnessed and recorded,
does not entitle the holder to the fruits oil
the enterprise of others.

DIVIDING COUNTIES.

In view Of the contention that has arisen
through the facility with which counties
may be divided it might be well to submit
to the people an amendment to the eonstitu-
tion making the division Of counties impOs-
sible. There may arise cases in which
revision of county lines would be a public
benefit, and possibly cases in " hich the di-
vision of counties would promote the gen.
eral prosperity; but this remote and posi-
bic good would be more than overcome by
the evils arising from constant agitation of
the subject of county division. 1t is charged
that number of sacks" have been brought
to Sacramento at one session Of the Legisla-
ture and another to influence legislation on
a pending proposition to divide county.
The proposition never stays defeated. II
one Legislature refuses favorable action the
diyisionists gather up their forces and, I'M
less rumOrs are much at fault, replenish
their sack. The time of the Legislature is
taken up over matter that does not inter-
est oue-twentieth Of the people If the State
About the only perceptible gain to expect
from a division of a county is to multiply
the county Offices. Nothing is added to the
population and wealth of county by divi-
sion. There may be little local boom in
real estate in consequence of the creation of
new cOunty-seat, but such gain is small
compared to the cost. Counties should either
be permitted to divide themselves or division
should be prohibited.

Perhaps it will be said honest people nova

1t Is impossible to deny that the object of
criminal law. which is the prevention
of crime, was admirably attained in this
case. The patient skill with which the
murderer WAS dis overed, tracked and capt
