Charles Lowe Kills j, l.. FerrOe With n
Hatchot and EsOapes-A Peculiar homi-
eide.
Yesterday afternoon the policein this
city received word OF u murder at steu-
benville, Ohio, and asking them to be
on the lookout for the murderer. The
following are the facts in the case;
While the fire in that city was at its
height, Charles Lowe, aged about 90
years, entered the store OF his uncle, j.
L. Ferree, aged about IS years, on Mar
ket street, and while there struck him
on the head three timcswith the pole OF
Ratchet, and escaped. Mr.. Ferree
was found weltering in his blood by his
wife who had gone up to the store to
tell him about the fire. The store was
in great disorder, and it is claimed that
the object of the assault was robbery,
as over 500 was missing from the
money drawer.
The wounded man was taken to his
home, where the physician pronounced
his case hopeless. No one knows what
transpired between Ferree and his
nephew. The people who know Lowe
give him an excellent character-a
quiet, upobtrusive young man with no
bad habits or evil companions.
Lowe, after he had inflicted three cuts
on Ferree's head, went to Mosgrove's
hotel, where he boarded, washed,
changed his clothes, and gave the
bloody suit to u porter in q box, and
fled across tho river, where he alto sup.
per at Archer'a farm house, about seven
o'clock. The porter examined the box
after lie left aud found the bloody gar
ments, and turned them over to the
police. At the Archer farm house
Lowe claimed he was going TO board q
freight at Golfers.

A Man Badly Beaten.

Last evening NJ. D. Reader, OF North
Benwood, went over to Bellaire and got
into game Of cards with Jack Gal
lagher, Seymour Dunlap and Scott La
velle. They got into quarrel, and sep
aratod. As Reader was going down to
the Bellaire ferry landing the three
men, who had followed him, caught up,
and all three assaulted him. He was
tearibly beaten up, one eye being
swolled entirely shut and other and
perhaps graver injuries inflicted. Gal
lagher and Lavele were arrested at
once, and it was expected Dunlap would
be captured early.

Distortion Of Aboriginal Names.


 IN. V. Moore in the Popular Sciezcs Monthly ]
 From the very beginning of the modern European conquest and colonization, the ''Indian" names have bsen invested chief ly with what Is purely fsnsiful sDd con jectural orthogrsphy in their English wri- tings. There has been no surviving testi- monial, in either living or dead tongues, fixing the definite expression of the an cient words just as the native man would have written them had he been possessed of the proper facilities. Sometimes the old native names have been made to ap. pear unnecessarily grotei que in their wi. ing-in some instances ss much so as the rude savage himself appears personally the fact illustrated in the writing Yough- iogheney for simply Ys-og-hs ns, and in EsquemesuI for Es-ka-mo. Many purely poetic garbs of the old words have become incorporated into our permanent geograph- iesl literature. The names Aississippi and Tennessee are examples of the fsncifnl versions of the old aboriginal titles; the former is supposed to have been in sounds represented by the Euglish writing Mes sis-s pa, while the oldest historic records extant showing the latter give the writing ss Ten-as ss. What is evidently one an- cestrsl word appears in the modern yer sions of Shewsnee, Sswsnee, SuNanee, Swansn and Chowsn. The French wri- ting Cheyenne is the same word in the re- mote ancestry, as is now believed.
