To Avenge Her Fathers Death-An In.
diana Tragedy.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. ga terri
BILE ARRAY occurred at Payne, this coun.
ty, ten miles east of here, at 1 o'clock
Wednesday morning in which two men
were killed, one at the hands of son-in-
law, and the other by the enraged
daughter of the victim. Shortly after
midnight Richard Wright and his
daughter were awakened by a shout a
short distance from the house. The man
recognized The voice as that of his SON
in-law, Da.e Judah. He went to the
door and started to the fence when shot
was fred by Judah.
Wright ran into the house. secured an
ak and started towards Judah, when a
a terrific scuffie ensued. The old man
was shot three times, once in the head
and twice in the neck. During the
struggle ard while Judah was on
Wright, the old man called for his
daughter to knock Judah off with the
ax--that he had shot him.
The daughter secured the AK, and Just
as Judah shot the last time, she struck
Judah tel .ific blow on the head, kill
ing him instantly. Both men lay dead
on the grass. Judah was in Blooming
ton late Tuesday night, and was drink
ing heavily. He had trouble with his
wife that afternoon, and it is supposed
he went to the father-in-law's house
with the intention of killing the old man
and also his wife. Wright was about
sixty years old and Judah thirty-fve
years.

Our poet was not regularly or classi-
cally educated; he had never been ON
foreign soil or travelled much at home,
in which ne may have been fortunate.
Perhaps to this is due the fact that he is
altogether American, even New Eng
landish, in his themes and their treat
ment. He sings of what he had seen
and felt and known of humble things,

Makes the Tariff, Reciprocity and Cur.
rency the Campaign Issues.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. S.-Chairman
Marley, of the Republican state com.
mittee, has received letter from Hon.
James Il. Blaine, dated Bar Harbor
Sept. B, in which he states that he will
be unable to deliver speeches in the
coming campaign, but takes the liberty
of submitting his views on the issues
which he regards as being strongest for
the Republicans to urge before the
people.
Mr.. Blaine argues that the issue of
the greatest consequence is the tariff on
imports, and it will continue to be I'M
til settlement is effected by majority
so large that it will be tantamount to
general acquiescence.
He then goes into a defense of the
Mckinley bin and Celebrates ON his own
idea of reciprocity, concluding as fol-
lows:
'The scheme is very plain and very
simple. 1t secures a valuable trade in
in exchange for articles otherwise des-
tined to be put on the free list. The
Democratic party thinks it can discredit
it, and it makes an effort apparently for
the unpatriotic reason that it did not
originate it,"
Mr. Blaine makes the third issue that
of the national currency, and closes his
letter in this language:
1.-The three issues which have given
are the issues upon which would ar
raign the Democratic party. l would
not multiply issues nor be diverted by
eur opponents from a steadfast adher-
ence to, and constant presentation of,
these questions before the people, until
every voter is made tc know and under
stand their true and weighty signifi-
cance"

Whittier at Homo.
For many yeals near kinswoman-
sister, believe-was his housekeeper,
but she died some time ago, and after
that he passed much of his leisure at
Danvers with niece. In all relations
to his fellows he was the soul of sim
cerity and refinement, an ideal gentle
man whom scarcely court in Europe
could match. The beauty of it was
that there was not a suspicion of foreign
flavor. He was thoroughly and essen
TALLY American. He had no manner
ism, no social training in the accepted
significance, and yetpossessed a fascina-
ton of bearing and address that no one
who had felt it could ever forget. 1t
was the spirit of his poetry embodied,
the earnestness and sweetness of his
sympathy transferred to his daily life.
A great many persons have wondered
why Whittier never married, especially
as he seemed sodomestic, 80 fond of chill
dren, 80 entirely appreciatiye of women.
1t often happens that men best fitted for
wedlock conscientiously refrain from it,
because perhaps they consider it too fine
ly; or they may have ideals of the con-
dition or of women that are never met.
How this may have been with the poet
is unknown, for he appears to have inn
parted no condolences on this subject.
There is a tradition, however, concern
ing him--as there is apt to be concern
ing every bachelor who has passed the
manageable age-that he had loved
without reciprocity. The name of the
lady has been mentioned orally, with
many details; but there is no way of de-
termining now if this be anything more
than mere gossip.
IL Whittier had ever had so unhappy
an experience, he would have been GER
tain to keep the secret locked in his in
most heart and to throw away the KEY.
And it would i'll become any honorable
journalist to attempt to satisfy vulgar
curiosity on so delicate topic.
The poet retained to his dying hour
his interest in politics, He remained
radical Republican from the formation
of the party. He always maintained
that Fremont was elected to the presi-
dency in 1856, but that he was defraud-
ed of it by false counting, chiefly in
Pennsylvania an opinion shared by
other prominent politicians of his era.
Not Poor Man.
Strangely enough Whittier, who had
been poor most of his life, and who for
years wrote poems gratuitously because
they expressed his sentiments and prin-
ciples, had actually come long before
his death in possession of what would
once have been considered large for

self and Son.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 2.-The bodies
of Mrs. J. G. Johnson and her 15-year-
old son were found at their home in the
Mission district this morning. They
had been dead over week and the
bodies were in an advanced stage of de-
composition. Both held revolvers clasped
in their hands.
The son had been shot three times,
one bullet taking effect in the back,
another behind the temple, and the
third in the temple. The bullet which
ended the mothers life penetrated the
temple.
People in the same house had noticed
their non-appearance during the week,
but no inquiries were made until the
odor of decomposition led Mrs. Roderick,
a neighbor, to look into the Jchnsons'
window this morning, when the body
of the boy attracted her attention and
led to the further discovery.
Mrs. Johnson's husband went east
about a year ago to secure employment,
and since then contributed nothing to
their support. The son was not of q
strong mind and was unable to assist
his mother, who was compelled to sell
all the household effects to support
them.
Poverty was undoubtedly the motive.
1t is believed that Mrs. johnson first
shot her son while he was asleep, then
retired to her own room and killed her.

sister residing in Napa county.
