Horrible Murders.

Durand, Mich, January 4.-The
discovery was made this morning that
terrible crime has been committed
here during the night. A neighbor
entering the house of Layton Leetch,
an old resident of this place. found
Leetch and his wife lying apparently
dead on the floor in a pool of clotted
blood, The alarm was at once given
aud doctors were called. 1t was
found that Leetch and his wife were
still alive, though there is no hope
that they can survive. Leetch had a
horrible wound IN the head evidently
made with an AK, which was found
near by covered with blood. Mrs.
Leetch had been shot through the
body,
Itneeded little more than glance
to see how the horrible crime had
been committed. The murderer had
evidently approached Leetch from
behind and had struck him down
with the ak. Mrs. Leetch had ran
to her husbands help but had been
overpowered by the miscreant, who
assaulted her and then shot her.
The murderer had then ransacked
the house for plumber and it is be
heved that he secured about SO
There is little doubt as to the
identity of the murderer. \ Ger
man named Burns, employed by
Leetch, has been missing since last
night. 1t is known that he was not
on friendly terms with his employer,
and lately has been threatening to get
even with him for some unknown
slight. He was seen quarre,ing with
the old man yesterday, and there Is
little doubt as to his guilt. Officers
are now searching for him, but so far
unsuccessful.

The LiliputiOns in 1.-The Rivals.

The fol owing is an extract from
the Chicago Times:
The second act Of tile 1.-The Rivals
is love scene and when the curta in
weat up one could have imagined
Palmer Cox's brownies had taken up
their obode on the stage. 1t was a
love scene and much more interesting
than love scenes usually are. The
two diminutive gentlemen contested
earnestly for the hand and heart of
the fair little lady, and III course Of
the wooing fought fierce duel with
swords. 1t is a thrilling fencing
scene, the count and baron display
greater skill with the word than any
professional seen here in years.
They display some remarkable science
and some fierce rushes are made,
causing a GREATNESS stiffness to per-
wade the entire house. The brothers
fence with wire masks, it is not theat-
rical fencing, but real fencing with
foils twenty inches in length, and
the contestants are compelled to hop
around quite lively. Eoth the count
and baron are papils Of the greatest
of Italian fencing masters and have
given private exhibitions of their
skill before King Victor Emanuel
and his son, Prince Humbert, king
of Italy, also the Khedive of Egypt.
The above company will appear at
the Opera House Monday evening
next.

MoRGASTowN, w. VA, June 2e.-
For the past three mon tbs all klnds OF
rumors have been published as TO when
the Falrmont, Morgantown and Pitts
burg railroad extension from Morgan
town to Unlontown, Pa, would be COM
pleted, thus giving o through line from
FaIrmont 10 Pittsburg.
Tracklsying was commenced several
months ago at Unlontown, and sus-
pended when Smtbfeld, Pa, ten
miles this side OF Uniontown,
Pa, was reached, and two
months ago the track was laid from Nor
gantown TO q point about one mile north.
During the winter there were several
small ''sips" aud all kind Of wild
rumors have been published TO the ef-
feet that the route would have TO be
changed In many places, and that the
opening OF the road would be delayed
several months on account OF these
''slIps." Col. Irwin, Chief Assistant
Civil Engineer Of the Baltimore and Ohio
was seen by a REGISTER representative
to-day and asked when the work OF lay
ing rails would be commenced, he said:
1--WE commenced 10 lay rails at smith
field on Tuesday. and will commence at
MOI gantown by the first OF July. Nor
gan's Tunnel, the only one on the line,
Is being finished as rapidly as possible.
The side walls are about completed,
and the brick arch Is being put In. The
unfinished condition OF the tunnel will
not interfere with the laying oil the
tracks, as we can now run through II.
The only "slip" on the road Is the one a
mile below MorgsDtown at the present
terminus Of the road, and we will have
a steam shovel here In few days and
can remove all the dirt IN very short
time.
1.-THE road will be completed by fall
and the work OF laying the track will
now be pushed from both ends as rapid.
~ as the material, ties. rails, &c, can
be had" This will be good news 70 the
people IN the northern Monongahela
Valley who have prayed for years for q
northern outlet. Thousands OF acres
OF coal lands have been bought up by
capitalists along the road and Its COM
pIetion will be the signal for the open
Ing OF q coal field that will far surpass
the celebrated Connellsville hed.
The opening Is assured By the
fact that side tracks have al
ready been graded in several
places along the line where II Is the
intention 10 at once commence the open
ing OF mines aud erection Of coke ovens.
A great deal Of the coal land was bought
I'D By coal and coke operators from the
Conceivable field, and this 10 itself i.
evidence that the field will be developed
al the earliest possible moment.

given out. be run over this line via
Grafton. Morgantown now has but
two trains day, the mall facilities are

The Evening Paper an Exponent OF All
that is Dssreputable in journalism.
The REGISTER yesterday pilloried the
Fourteenth street evening paper as
despicable purveyor OF deliberate Ialse-
hoods.
, Convicted before the public of origi-
mating a. atrocious lie as was ever
put on paper. the sheet referred to was
yesterday common subject for the de-
nunciatiou of reputable citizens.
Without honor, honesty, veracity or
good repute, that paper stands syno-
MIN for all that is discreditable to jour
nalism, and an object for the scorn oil
every fair-minded business man.
We yesterday showed conclnsively
that every statement published In the
evening paper, of Wednesday, concern
ing the REeIsTER's books, manufactured
by the Home Book Company, OF New
York, was lie out of the whole CLOTH
It was stated in these columns that no
volume printed by Mr.. Lupton, or any
one in any manner connected with nlm'
was sold by the REGISTER, In controVen-
ton of the evening papers crazy asser-
ton that such was the case. with a
prediction for falsehood akin to that
of animals of the genus slts for nth, the
evening paper came out yesterday with
another lie, worded, after It's slippery
custom, so as to incline readers TO believe
the assertions made yesterday were the
same as those made the day before. 1t
had no word of regret for its Infamous
fabrlcation; no apology rendered Its
outraged and imposed, upon readers; no
excuse for it's inability to see differ
ence between straightforward business
honesty and that cbarlantry which
seeks to hood Twink and swindle the pub
lie through clap-trap contests, lottery
frauds and circus side-show misrepre-
sentation. 1t merely lodged the issue,
of its own raising, and like the card
sharper, who, detected in one species
OF dishonesty, turns to another and
keeps on with his nefarious work, 1t
simply ignored its first lie, told another,
and with q pharasaical sanctimonious-
ness somewhat worse than that rebuked
In Biblical times, it proceeded on Its
devious and disreputable way.

less they retired and they did so. Kiss
Borden has said 70 me that the Borden
murders were as much Of a mystery 70 her
as TO any one. can only account for the

there were all sorts Of conclusions formed,
based on anything but tho evidence IN the
case. During the trial l received about
fifty letters from cranks confessing the
murders
