father lived on farm one and half miles
from this place. arrived Dut partially
dressed and almost frantic with the
startling announcement that her fathers
family were being butchered by the

mother in the kitchen where she had
been preparing breakfast, three girls.
aged respectively 10. II and 9 years and
one 7-year-old boy lay stiff and stark
where they had fallen from wounds in
fictsd by double barrelled shotgun in
the hands of Alberu Bomberger, farm
hand.
A DISTANT RELATIVE.
Bonherger WAS distant relative OF
the family who had beeu iu Mr.. Kreid-
er;s employ about nine months. The
father was the first victim, then the
mother ana the children III the order
named.
Miss Anna by piteous supplicatious
induced the man to spare her aud her
three remaining little brothers.
At the muzzle of his gun he compelled
her 10 prepare his breakfast with the
corpse OF ner mother lying at her feet.
He ate leisurelE, then assaulted the
girl and. tying her in the barn TO prevent
her escape. he saddled her fayorite pony
and deliberately rode away nor5nward
With the aid OF one OF her brothers Miss
Kreider succeeded in freeing herself and
making her way TO town, necessarily
leaving her little brother alone with
their dead parents.

Slandering Cleveland in the Interest of
the Silver Jobbers.
CHICAGO, July 8, 1S93.-"The silver men

10 meet Mr.. Cleveland and his friends on
the battle ground in special session"
said Senator Henry Teller yesterday
evening. and he spoke with The conf
dence Of man who seemed sure OF his
ground, contin nuing he said:-
despite the great hue and cry and
the thuuaerbolts that have been lanncn-
ed at the silver people, we find ourselves
in good shape and our front unbroken.
OF course. l refer more particularly to
the Senate. We have had good working
majority for silver for some years. and In
the changes that have taken place, we
sJilI have majority. The silver law will
stand unless it is replaced by another
law that will maintain the double
standard of this country. know Mr..
Cleveland is making great efforts 10
act. and is using the lever of patronage
to move some of the silver men of his
party. He might as well go to the bank
ers in Wall street and get the money aud
attempt TO buy them outright as to use
the Federal patronage, Tor there is no
differences between the two.so far as
the morality of the act Is concerned"
When asked what he thought of the

ator said with aelfberation, sas If weigh
ing every word 81 believe tnat the sus-
pension of the Indian coinage was

UNDER THE Lash.
The Bad Senator Writhes
Under the Public Ex-
posure of His Mixed
Ale Methods.

William d. DAILY, the Bad Senator. lost
his temper and made one of his periodical
bad breaks in the Hudson City Hall this
morning. He abused the entire staff OF
The JERSEY CITY News, and Mr.. w,
d. Edwards, against whom he has taken
an insane prsindice. He became SO pro-
fame in his rawlings that Q blue streak
,ould almost be detected f ating through
the building.
A reporter for THE JEE ,EY CITY NEWS
had occasion to enter the District Court
in the City Hall shortly after ten O'Clock.
The Bad Senator entered shortly after
ward. He espied the reporter, and
fingered about, apparently in the hope
that the reporter might approach him.
Seeing that the reporter was not so dis
posed, the Bad Senator walked over to
where the reporter was standing. He
stood awhile with his arms folded, and
then dramatically exclaimed:-
"WellI"
"Well," replied the reporter.
Il wonder IL IHE ERSEY CITY NEWS is
going to pound me again." said the Bad
Senator with sort Of exultant leer.
Il think it is quite likely" the reporter
replied. The reporter. of course, did not
know anything about the matter, but he
had read the item in this mornings

FEARFUL PROFANITY.
"By - - If another line is published

to the office and lick hell out of Luby.
Tll go down TO Edwards office and
thrash him within an inch of mis- life.
Yes, by all that's holy, l will" the Bad
Senator roared, growing purple In the
face.
The Bad Senator then let out such a
volley of oaths that the reporter involun-
tarily moved away. He threatened to
exterminate The entire staff of The Err
SEY CITY NEWS.
The reporter did not feel the least bic
alarmed about the personal safety Of the
staff.
The Bad Senator paced up and down.
He was study.
"You know what you said," said he to
the reporter In a half threatening tone.
You said that your paper was going to
pound me. | have two witnesses here
who heard you. You heard him, didn'I
you, Lewis aud Resse?"
FRANTIC RAGE.
The reporter pegau To believe that the
Bad Senator was wandering in his
alleged intellect. Clerk Lewis and Con-
stable Reese were out of earshot and
were watching DAILY with pity and Won
der.
The reporter calmly reiterated that on
general principles he was of opinion tnat
The JERSEY CITY NEWS would never
allow the voters to forget the record OF
the Bad Senator.
Then Daily began to swear in earnest.
He is an adept at 1t. The language he
used was frightful and could be heard in

sion of the Reichstag Herr Groeper, Cen
trist. who in the last Reichstag vote in
opposition to the Army Bill. spoke
against the new measure in the name of
the Centre party. The Centrists. he declared,
were firmly opposed to to the bill. and
all the newly elected representatives os
the party were pledged TO vote against
it. From a military point of view the
bill was needless, and from an economi-
cal stsndpoint it was ruinous.
1t would be better for the
Government 90 enter into an organic
federation with Austria than TO increase
her army superfuously. The present
government game to secure mouse
trap majority was an undignified one.
Doubtless il the house knew how the
government intended to cover the extra
cost involved by tue measure 1t would
not be able to find a majority.
