DIABOLICAL MURDER
Unfolded by the Finding of Mutilated
 Body Near Tiptonvile.
THE MURDERER IN CUSTODY.
A Man and His Wife Murdered on Steam
 boat-The Bloody Axe Found.

MEMPHIS, August 12.-The de- tails of most diabolical murder, which occurred about a week ago on a small trading boat between Cairo and Osceola, Ark, have just be- come known.
 The perpetrator of the horrible crime is Philip Edgington, who was arrested at Elmont, Ark, last Wednesday aad transferred to the county jail at Osceola. The victims are Charles l.. Summers and his wife, Rose Summers. They had charge of the boat and were en- gagged in selling groceries and gen eral merchandise up and down the river.
 Philip Edgington was employed as an assistant. William Johnson, cousin of Mrs. Summers, and resident of Elmont, Ark, received letter from her, under date of July 30, stating that they would leave on that day for the down trip, telling him when to expect the boat at Elmont and Osceola. Nothing more was heard of them, and an investigation re- vealed the fact that the boat had been found floating in the river, and that the stock of goods had been stolen.
 The general belief was that Sum- mers and his wife had been mur- dered and thrown overheard; in deed, so confident were the relatives of the missing couple that such had been their fate, that they offered a reward for the recovery of their bodies. Since the offer was made various persons liv ing along the banks of the river have been searching for them, and on Tuesday the body of c. l.. Sum- mers was found near Tiptonville, Tenn.
 When removed from the water 1t presented sickening, ghastly ap- pearance. Around the neck was tied three quarter inch rope, to the end of which was attached an iron weight of forty pounds. Upon each side of the head, just above the temples, was a horrible wound inflicted with an ax. The skull was badly fractured, and death must have been instantaneous.
 The body was fully identified and turned over to the relatives of the deceased. The axe with which the murder was committed had already been found on the boat. It was covered with blood, and there is no doubt that it was the instrument with which the killing was done.
 If the iron weight had been tied close to the neck the probabilities are that the body would not have been recovered, but the rope was about ten feet long, which gave the body sufficient play in shallow water to rise to the top.
 The ghastly find has created great excitement in Osceola and neighbor- ing towns, and lynching is freely talked of.
 Every effort is being made to re- cover the other body, and the re- ward still holds good.

On the corn crop these reports show the state to average D per cent. of a full crop. In some counties the yield will be the largest for years, and in others not more than one fourth of crop will be raised. This condition does not apply to over four counties. Farmers are threshing wheat and the yield is larger than ever before in the state. Grain men fear car famine when the bulk of the crop is thrown in the market.

POLICEMEN WANTED.
Authorities at Buffalo BusiIy Engaged
 Swearing in Special Officers.
PREPARING FOR THE STRIKE
Deputies Being sworn in by the Sheriff Lumber Car Discovered on Fire Was Extinguished-
 Hose Cut.

BUFFALO, August 15. Police commissioners ware hay to day swearing :sn special policemen on ac- count of the railroad strike. The sheriff is also busy swearing in special deputies for duty in the yards at Cheektowago, which is outside the city limits and beyond the juris- diction of the city police. The sheriff will not call upon the military, ex- cept as lastresort. At1l :25 o'clock last night Erie car No. AS, ,458, loaded with lumber, was discovered to be on fire in the yards south of Clinton street. A still alarm was given and the flames extinguished by a plug stream from the Gilbert car works, though not before the roof of the car had been burned off and the lumber badly damaged. Af- forwards the police found an empty kerosene oil can in the rear of the car. It is clear case of incendia rism. The fire department complain that workmen at the freight car of flee were much impeded by the cut ting of the hose by unknown parties. Twelve lengths of hose were cut and rendered useless.
 STRIKERS NOT RESPONSIBLE.
 BUFFALO, August 15.-The nun Der of Erie and Lehigh Valley freight cars destroyed by fire is variously estimated from 100 to POO. Master Moriarty, of the local loNse of the switchmen's union, states that strikers are not responsible for the fire. He attributes it to Hot of tramps and buns that are always around when there is any excite ment.
 ALL QUIET.
 BUFFALO, August 15.-Every thing has been quiet in the yards since daylight and up till noon. The incendiaries, whoever they are, will keep under cover during the day. It Is reported that the strike will be likely to spread to the Erie yards at Hornellsvilie. In an interview Grand Master Sweeney emphatically condemns the acts of lawlessness, and states he has assurances from his men on the strike that they are not re sponsible for the individuals who conld not he controlled.
