MURDER NEAR WOOSTER.
Five Robbers Kill Robert Ewing, an Aged
Farmer, For His Money.

Five Robbers Kill Robert Ewing, an Aged
Farmer, For His Money.
WOOSTER, o., Nov. "a. Especial. Ar
other murder has been committed in this
county, being the second in a week. Rob-
ert Ewing, an aged aud wealthy farmer,
living seven miles northwest of this city,
was attacked Thursday night by five arm
ed and masked mon, supposed to be reg
ulAr burglar and he was Ahot to death.
He was a man 20 years of age.
Ewing was aroused from sleep by hear
ing a terrible Ihump on the kitchen door.
He surmiSed at once that he had received
visit from the gang, and on springing to
the floor out OF bed he
PICKED UP HIS SHOTGUN,
which he had standing ut the head Of his
bed. He opened the door from the beds
room to the sittingroom and then opened
the door to the kitchen, and on looking
toward the outer door OF the kitchen saw
men about to enter. He raised the shot
gun, taking deliberate aim aud fred. The
entire load from the shotgun lodged in
th plasteTiug at the side OF the door, tear
ing outs ragged hole fully five inches
across and four wide. After Ewing shot
he turned, and as he was closing the door
a bullet from q revolve- fired by one of
the robbers carried off the end of his left
thumb. Before he closed the door an.
shoulder. This shot caused him to BtagRer
and fall to the floor, but the plucky old
man arose to his feet and rushed into the
bedroom, secured hiR revolver and went
oui TO the kitchen door, which by this time
had been battered down by she robbers,
Ewing lived otter the shooting about 10
hours, His wife got up while the shooting
was going on and the wonder is that she
was not hit by some Of the bullets, the
marks OF which you can see all over the
house.
The hcuse looked as though IL might
have gone through siege OF war. The
fence post used as q bAttering ram TO
break in the doors WAS found on the out
SIDE. The outer door was broken and
forced from iEs hinges. The middle door,
and old fashioned panel afr air,w broken
into half q dozen pieces by the
FORCE OF THE FENCE POST.
On the side of the frame was the im-
print in blood OF the brave old mAu's
hand. In the sitting room two shots
plowed their wAy through the ceiling,
another lodging in the top of q bookcase.
Two shots were feed through the kitchen
window, the round holsR In the glass tell
ing the story. These two shots passed
clear through light door leading into the
pautry. One of these bullets, it is thought,
was she one that struck Mr.. Ewing's
thumb. Another shot was fired through
the parior window. passed across the
room and lodged in the door, across from
which stands the bed occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Ewing. Five men were seen to
run from the house after the shots were
fired. The bullet which caused Mr..
Ewing's death struck just below the left
shoulder and ranged forward to the nipple
and down the wall of the chest, lodging
the last rib. The robbers are
IT'LL at large. They are supposed to be
the same gang that have committed so
many robberies in this section during the
past two weeks.

The Press., 1893-12-07

THE presidents message was given to congress and to the country on Monday. Concerning 'stariff reform," he endorses the Wilson bill, and says:
 After full discussion our countrymen have spoken in favor of this reform, and they have confided the work of it's accom- plishment to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged to it.
 If there is anything in the theory of representation in public places of the peo- pie and their desires, if public officers are really the servants of the people, and if political promises and professions have any binding force, our failure to give the relief so long awaited will be sheer recre- ancy. Nothing should intervene to dis tract our attention or disturb our effort until this reform is accomplished by wise and careful legislation.
 The Hawaiian matter he reserves for review in later message, but foreshad- ows what his course will be in the declara- tion:
 Just prior to the installation of the present administ1 ation the existing gov ernment of Hawaii had been suddenly oyerthrown, and a treaty of annexation had been negotiated between the provis- ional government of the islands and the United States, and submitted to the sen- ate for ratification. This treaty l with drew for examination, and dispatched James H. Blount, of Georgia, to Honolu- Iu as a special commissioner to make an impartial investigation of the circum- stances attending the change of govern ment, and of all the conditions bearing upon the subject of the treaty. After thorough and exhaustive examination, MT. Blount submitted to me his report, showing beyond all question that the con- stitutional government of Hawaii had been subverted with the active aid Of our representative to that government, and through the intimidation caused by the presence of an armed naval force of the United States, which was landed for that purpose at the instance of our minister.
 Upon the facts developed, 1t seemed to me the only honorable course for our gov ernment to pursue was to undo the wrong that had been done by those representing us, and to restore as far as practicable the status existing at the time of our forci- ble intervention. Witt view of accom- plishing this result within the constitu- tional limits of exclusive power, and rec ognizing all our obligations and responsi- bility growing out of any changed condi- tions brought about by our unjustifiable interference, our present minister at Hon. olulu has received appropriate instruc- tions to that end. Thus far no informa- tion of the accomplishment of any definite results has been received from him. Ad ditional advices are soon expected. Wher received they will be promptly sent to the congress, together with all other informa- tion at hand, accompanied by special 1 executive message fully detailing all the facts necessary to complete understand | ing of the case, and presenting history of all the material events leading up tC 1 the m aSent situation.
