A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Accusing Her Father of Incest
and Infanticide-HisA Arrest.

Rufus Long of Dublin district, Somerset
county, charged with the atrocIous crimes
Of incest. rape and infanticide, having
been apprehended by the police authori-
ties of Cape Charles, was brought from
that place and lodged in Jail, in Princess
Anne, by Officer II. W. Lankford. Re
port states that Long is guilty of rayish-
ing his own daughter, who gave birth To
u child about three weeks ago, which
child Long is said To have killed and
buried. A writ was sworn out against
Long, and hearing of il, he fled from the
state. lie succeeded up TO yesterday, in
eluding the officers in pursuit of him.
Long, when interviewed by The american
correspondent, refused TO make any state
ment in regard TO the matter. Joshua W.
Miles and Clarence p. Landlord are re-
tained for the defense.
Long was given hearing on on Mon
dav. He is forty-five years of age, and
has wife and four children. The fol-
lowing Is the story, as told by his eldest
daughter. Matilda. the unfortunats vic
tim: About year ago, she says, Long
committed the first assault upon her per-
son, threatening at the same time that if
she should divulge the act he would kill
her Thus it went on, the father c0n
cealing all evidences of his baseness until
she manifested signs of pregnancy. A
short time before the birth or the child,
her mother, by means of threats and per-
suasions, succeeded in wringing from her
the dreadful accusation that her own ia
thcr was the father Of her infant child
After the birth of the child aud during
the illness of his wife, Long again at
tempted To assault his daughter. This
time, however, he was not successful, as
the child's grandfather aud friend came
in and foIl.d him in his heinous crime
The mother and daughter kept the affair
quiet until this renewed attempt, when
they sent for an officer. Great excite
ment prevailed when IL was learned that
Long would be brought 10 town, and not
less than one hundred and fifty people
met him and followed him To the Jail.

To break the force Of facts gathered by
the New York World showing 500 strikes,
lockouts, and reductions of wages in pro-
tected industries, the American Economist,
the high tariff organ, published list of
twenty eight protected industries in which
wages were said to have been increased
under the Mckinley law. The list Of %
alleged increases of wages has been investi-
gated by Mr.. John Dewitt Warner and
found TO be fallacious. Two of the estab.
lishments named in the Ec0n0mtst were
found not to have any existence. One EN-.
ployed two men, and the wages of one of
the two had been increased from 25 cents a
day to 80 cents a day. The other mans
wages had been stationary at $1.25. In
seventeen of the twenty eight establishments
the employees denied that there had been
any increase of wages since the Mckinley
act was passed. In several there had been
reductions of wages. When there were in
creases the increases were triaing and were
the result of strikes, and had been accom-.
panied by reductions. Such is the finding
The mckinley census" does not pan ouI
welcome facts.

The appointment of the Hon. Henry Page
as Chief Judge of the First Judicial Circuit
does Gov. Brown great credit. Mr.. Page
has the character, the ability and experience
at the Bar necessary to make him eminently
useful on the Bench, and he has another
possession more to be desired in itself, and
absolutely essential in Judge, namely, the
full confidence of the community, being a
native of the district from which he has
been appointed, and having practiced law
there with eminent success for the past 20
years. In selecting such man for the
Bench the Governor has not gone wrong.

The Electoral Colleges of this year will
have 444 votes, of which 1913 will be neces-
sary for an election. Six new States, cast
ing 90 electoral votes, have been admitted
into the Union since 1888 by the Repu bill
cans. If the Republicans were to carry the
same States this year as they did in 1888,
they would have 46 majority, with the aid
of all the silver States. The Democratic cal
culations which propose to get along with
New York in the Harrison column have TO
set down several Western Republican States
as doubtful. 1t is certain that the Demo.
Gratis will get four or five electoral votes in
Michigan. In order 10 succeed without New
York the Republicans must carry every
doubtful State and all the Pacific Coast and
Northwestern States If, by any mishap,
the election should be thrown into the
House of Representatives, the Republicans
would have no chance Of eecting their can
didate And slipup of some Republican
State in the West or Northwest might bring
about this untoward event.
