The Oliver Tragedy.

The Oliver murder case is now be.

Delaney, the prisoner, was accused Of
betraying Miss Abbie Oliver, but de,

entered Delaney's place of business and
at the point of a pistol compelled him
to 90 with her to carriage outside in
which her husband and daughter were
seated. The quartette drove rapidly
to Morganfield, Is miles distant, and at
o'clock next morning a license was
procured and Delaney forced to marry
the girl.
The party started home in the car
riage, but when they had driven about
four miles four men surrounded the
vehicle and began firing into it. The
newly welded woman was shot
through the head and died soon after
wa-d. 1t was discovered she was
about to give birth to child. Her
father, 7. t. Oliver, was shot through
the face and in the RICH arm and died a

boys, and other intimate associates.
A few days later Louis Land, o

The SITUATION IMPRovING.-Yiew-
ed from treasury standpoint, the gen.
eral financial situation of the country
shows improvement, slight, perhaps:
but it is believed permanent. Bank
failures have almost entirely ceased :
banks that have suspended under the
financial stringency are resuming bust
ness: gold which poured out of the
country is returning, and a general
feeling of confidence is being restored.
This changed condition was felt last
week, and has day by day increased.
Money is still scarce, but not so much
so as it was. During the time that gold
was being shipped to Europe the
United States sustained net loss of
So, 100000. This gold is now coming
back, and it is estimated that already
S25 ,OO0, 900 have returned. This specie
has found it way into the interior of
the United States, much of it to Chicago.
Some of it now figures in the bank bal
ances, but much of it was absorbed by
American securities. TO this is attrib-
uted to some extent the improvement
in the general stock market. Govern
ment revenues continue light, which
shows that less money than usual is be-
ing sent abroad for foreign goods, which
is also considered in the circumstances
good sign.

THE FACT, as stated in yesterday
GAZETTE, that no bill to remove the
tax on the necessaries of life will be re-
ported during the present session OF
Congress, will have a depressing Ell
feet upon all true and wise democrats,
as it is conducive to the belief that
they, and those who voted with them
last fall, were grossly deceived. A
tariff bill reported during the regular
session cannot possibly be definitely
acted upon in both houses of Congress
until late in that session-too late Tor
its effects to become apparent before
the next congressional election, and
the people, by that time disguised with
the deception which they will think has
been practiced upon them, will be dis
posed to look for other agents than
those to whom their public affairs are
now entrusted. AS the days roll by and
the weeks become years observant men
are more and more struck with the
truth of General Grants remark, that
when the republicans are in trouble
they can always rely upon democrats
for relief.

THOUSANDS of unemployed worlmen
are in Denver, and yet they drove oil
some laborers who were willing to work
on a sewer there at S12O day, and
stated as their reason for doing so, that
there should be "uo starvation wages in
free America" Most of the tyrannical
mob referred to are foreigners, who, in
their own countries, when disposed to
work, would have been glad to get one,
third of what they now call starvation
wages, and that, too, though wheat is

THE FACT that while some men IN
New York are clamorous, and even RI
otous, for work at any price, others in
the same city are striking for higher
wages, is calculated to cast doubt upon
the assertions of the farmer that they
are in a starving condition, as it GER
tainlv wouldn't be in accordance with
common sense for man whose fellow
laborers are starving for lack of en-
plovment, and therefore anxious to take
his place, to give up permanent
work in order to afford them an oppor'
tunity TO do so.

driller, was burned to death by an ex-

volume that it was ignited by the fire
under the boiler before Goggs could es-

Mr.. CUMMINGS is right. The south
ern democrats, who forced the romina'
ton of Mr.. Cleveland, with his anti-sil,

positively idiotic lack of logic and con,
sistency in opposing his wise recon,
mendation of the unconditional repeal
of the silver purchasing act. But, iudg,
ing all southern democrats by some Of
those in Virginia, they are either incap'
able of logic, or utterly regardless OF

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. %, 1888

No MATTER what may be thought OF
Senator Voorhees, late speech, as
whole, that the following part of it is
approved by every man who is sincere
in his profession of faith in democratic
principles, goes without saying
"A tax upon incomes, carefully adjusted
and graded, has always been. to my mind a
most equitable and upright measure IN pro-
vidinr government revenue. While laying
taxes on the necessities ard wants of laboring
men, women. and children, and from which
there is no escape for them, justicc-eternal,
old fashioned iuStice-demands that those
who have incomes beyond their necessities
and as a surplus over their expenditures
should be required to contribute from their
abundance, and at fair rates, to the support OF
the government under whose care and pro-
lection they have prospered and grown rich"
For the good Of the country and the
democratic party it is hoped that the
large democratic majority in Congress
may have wisdom enough to impose
such tax as that referred to, and
thereby offset the LOGS Of revenue that
would result from the removal OF the
tax on the necessaries of life.

Killed by Electric Cars.

John Burke, aged five years, the lit
tie son of Peter J. Burke, q horseshoer,
living in Baltimore, was run over and
instantly killed by an electric car yes
terday morning, on Charles street. The
forward wheel of one side of the car
passed over the child and cut his body
entirely in two, and the body would
have fallen apart but for the clothing
which held it together. The horrible
affair was witnessed by a great many
persons, and number of them said
they were made sick by the awful
sight. AS soon as Charles S. Dodge,
the motorman of the car, noticed what
had occurred, he threw off the current
which operated the car and applied the
brake with so much force as to stop it
in less than half its length, and before
the hind wheel reached the mutilated
body. John S. Kimball, conductor OF
the car, hurried to the side and, as
carefully as possible, pulled the body
from between the trucks. Motorman
Dodge was arrested and taken to the
Southern police station. The jury of
inquest met last night, and, after hear
ing all the testimony, rendered a YER
dict that the affair was entirely acct
dental, and exonerated the motorman
from all blame. Dodge was then re-
leased from arrest.
Yesterday an electric car in Cincinnati
ran over and killed the six-year-old
son of Andrew Miller The body was

EIRGINIANS AT GETTYSBURG.-SiX-
ty members of the Generel Turner
Ashby Camp of Confederate Veterans,
of Winchester, Va, paid visit to the
battlefield yesterday. They were met
at Hagerstowp by General Forney and
Colonel Bachelor, of the United States
Commission, who escorted them to
the points OF interest. AT Little
Round Top Colonel Bachelor gave an
explanation of the battle, and the par
ty returned over Hancock avenue and
the National Cemetery.
The afternoon was devoted to mark
ing positions occupied by the COM
mands to which the veterans belong
ed. They largely represented COM
mands in Johnson's division, and
stakes were driven for the Second Viz
GINA Infantry, Carpenters Virginia
Battery, every regiment in the stone
wall Brigade, extra Billy" Smiths
Brigade and Crenshaw's Battery. The
result of the days work was the 10,
eating of nineteen positions which will
eventually be marked with enduring
tablets.
This excursion inaugurates the
movement for assisting the commission
in marking the field. The Confederate
veterans at first hesitated about go
ing, but were assured Of hospitable
treatment. That they were treated so
was attested by the resolution adopted,
in which they expressed their high ap-
probation of the kindness and courtesy
extended by the commission and of the
excellent work the commission is do
ing in preserving and handing down to
future generations the positions and
movements of the Union and Confed-
crate armies during the severe engage
ments.
