as good as it might have been. owing to the

much finer quality, and that there will not
be mush less fruit. because. as the trees are
not heavily loaded. the fruit will be much

MARION, May s.-The latest attempt to
start q saloon at Paramount was that Of
Luther Morris. a %saloonist Of this city. WIZ

for the sale of liquors by the quart. The
~pOpulace was at once aroused. the church
bells were rung. the people met. o commit

ris. and he was informed in language that
could not be misunderstood that he would
not be permitted to carry on such q bust
ness in that place. For awhile he tried to
blntf himself through the ordeal, but he
finally came to the conclusion that it would
be best to give 1T up. He Informed the
committee that he would leave the place
next Monday If left undisturbed till that
time. This was agreed to on condition
that he undertake to sell nothing in the
meantime. An idea of the spirit that ami
mates the people of Paramount may be OBJ
tanned from the fact that whom he asked

expense to which he had already gone. the
reply was firm. but decisive. mot one PEN

Mysterious Murders in and Near Bartholo-
NEW County Which Have Gone Unpublished.
Special to the Indian apoIis Journal
COLUMBUS. May S.-ThIs part of the
State has been most unfortunate in the last
Six months or more By having three mys-
ferrous murders committed In a radius of
twenty miles. and there is not even a ray
OF light upon which to base q hope of the
capture of the guilty parties. 1t was in
September, 1891, that Rhoda Mitchell, who
lived alone on her farm, near Vernon. was
murdered. Ten years before she was
crossed in love. and. though at that time
she was bright ana energetic, she grew
to be a man-hater and would allow none of
the male sex about her. The exact day of
her murder is not known as she had been
dead several days when found. Her muir
derer to this day has remained unknown.
and his whereabouts appears to
grow more mysterious. Some time be-
fore this George Cooper. O young farm
or. who resided in the eastern part
of this county, was found in a dense wood
with his body rIddled with bullets. Time
only causes this case to grow more mystic
rious. 1t was on the first day of this year
that Sieb Marsh, a %well-known citizen of
Seymour, was murdered by q burglar. and
the murderer is still q free man. Less than
two weeks ago William A. Doren, a promi-
Dent Odd-fellow of jackson county. was
murdered on the public highway, and so
far there is no evidence upon which TO
warrant an arrest. The saying that "mur-
der will out" appears to have no bearing in
these cases. Certainly this section of the
State would be q good field in which de-
tectives might WORK with profit and honor.

IN THE LEGISLATURES.
The Kent Bill and Other Measures Dis.
cussed Yesterday.


RICHMOND, Feb. 1G-[Speciall The
Kent bill was pummelled to-day by Mr..
Pitcher, of Fauquier, who said it was en-
tirely foreign to the present spirit of
progress in Virginia. He denied that
the Democracy was pledged to any such
measure. He favored railroad legisla.
ton and intimated that he would cham
pion the Saunders and Mason bills.
The bill was characterized as being
based on theory which, If carried into
criminal practice, would hang a man
first and then grant him the right OF
appeal. AS farmer and shipper, OF
seventeen years experience, he hoped
no legislation of that extreme sort
would pass.
In healthy railroads, conducted on
purely business principals, Virginia
enjoys blessing but fainty appreciated.
Maximum. tonnage means minimum
rates, and the people should encourage
rather than hamper the roads.
MIR. Pitcher had the floor at adjourn
ment, and will continue tomorrow.
In the House, Mr.. Tobb, of @. ouces-
ter, introduced bill memorializing
Congress to buy the Temple farm in
York county. This farm is the scene of
tho surrender of Lord CORVALLIS, and
Just now Chicago syndicate is after it..
The debt was further discussed. Mr..
Saunders, OF Franklin, opposed many
points of the bill, especially that OF
making the new bonds untaxable. Mr..
Williams, of Augusta, also favored the
bill.
A substitute for Wright's anti trust
Dill, brought in by him, was reported
favorably this afternoon
