An Atroeicus Murler.

Last Thursday afternoon MIR. and
Mrs. Howell called at the residence OF
, Mrs. Adeline Eggleston. who lived
alone on her farm in Antelope ' nlley,
Mono county, California. They
Knocked at the door aud receiving no
reply went to the back door, and look
ing through the window saw Mrs.
Eggleston lying on the floor aud up
on entering the house saw that she
had been murdered. Her head had
been crushed with n Ratchet, and her
neck aud body showed that she had
been stabbed in twenty-five places.
aud a lard can placed on her head.
The floor ind walls Of the kitchen
were spattered with blood and y bot
tie half filled with WHISKY was on
the table.
Mrs: ESgleston Ia Go years OF age,
and she lived alone on the ranch,
her nearest neighbour being a half
milo distant. The body was brought
To Carson for interment beside her
husband. who died 10 1890.
The Carson papers say various
theories are advanced regarding the
murder, but as Indiana were seen
about the house it is believed that
they committed the deed. A gold
watch and como other valuables were
left und's'urbed, indicating that rob
berry was not the motive for the muir
der. The News says macy incline
to the belief that a white man or
woman committed the ~atrocious
deed. II is not probable that
Indians wcre the murderers ns they
would not have left n bottle half
fHed with whisky on the table.

That Pierce County ..Faka. ;,

The postmaster at Blackshear, Pierce
county. has received a Communication
from Manchester, England saying that
the story that negro in that county
charged with having committed an as
sault upon a young white woman had
been skinned alive had been published in
the English papers, and asking if it is
true.
The MORNING News stated some days
ago that there was no foundation for the
story. Yesterday communication was
received from the correspondent of the
MORNING NEWS at Backshear, in which
he stated that the story had
been Thoroughly investigated and that
there was no truth in it whatever. He
further stated that the young woman
who was the alleged victim of the assault,
is very indignant that she should have
been brought into such unenviable no
toriety. There was no assault committed.
and hence no negro was skinned alive or
lynched.
1t is probable that the people of Black
shear will take steps to find out the au-
thor of the SANDER upon the people of
Pierce county, and give the story very
emphatic denial. The story has obtained
such general currency, however, that it
will be a very difficult matter to coun-
teract the harm that it has done.
Thousands of people in all parts of the
country who have read the story will
never see the denial of it.
Public sentiment ought to'be so strongly
against the publication of such stories
that they would not get into the public
prints unless there was undoubted au-
thority for them. They do vast amount
Of harm.
There are undoubtedly lynchings for
the one great crime which worthless
blacks seem bent upon committing, but
no such barbarity attends the lynchings
as was reported to have taken place in
Pierce county.

FRANCOIS New President.

NJ. Casimir-Perier has been elected
( President of the French Republic. His
election was not unexpected. He was an
avowed presidential candidate before the
/ assassination Of President Carnot, and as
soon as President Carnot's death was an
nounced it was thought that he would be
[ chosen by the national assembly as his
I successor. he was brought very promi-
nently before the public few weeks ago
by a ministerial crisis. He was prime
minister, and it is believed he permitted a
vote against the ministry in order that he
might leave his officean be untrammeled
in his campaign for president.
He made strong impression upon the
republic as the head Of the ministry. He
displayed both wisdom and courage in
dealing with public affairs, and inspired
confidence by his willingness to accept
responsibility and his success in carrying
out his policies The chief faults attrib-
uted to him by those who criJicise him, are
that he is proud and autocratic. 1t needs
man like him to deal successfully with
the turbulent political factions of the re-
public.
NJ Casimir-Perier is still compare
lively young man, being only about AZ
years of age. He has, however, dis
tinguished himself in war and politics,
and his elevation to the presidency has
been reached in the regular course of a
very successful career.
His record justifies the belief that he
win make a good president. He is man
of strong will, and it will not be an easy
matter for any faction to induce him
TO abandon policy that he has decided
upon. He appears to be just such man
as France needs at the head of her affairs
at this time.

Recognized the Keys.

The proprietor OF a travelling circus an
nounced that on a certain night trained ele-
plant would play the Russian hymn on
piano with its trunk, says the London Million
When the evening came, the circus was
crowded to the roof with an expectant public
After the usual performances had been gone
through, four men carried In a cottage piano.
which they placed in the center of the arena
When the intelligent animal was brought in
he walked slowly :three times around the
ring, and then amid the keenest excitement
advanced to the piano
with slight movement of his trunk he
opened the key board, but scarce had he done
so when sudden change came over his ap-
pearance. His eye dilated with rage and
fear, he lifted his trunk in the air and then
with wild scream of terror. he rushed out of
the arena. The proprietor OF the circus and
the elephant keeper held short and hur-
rled consultation, and then they, too left the
ring.
After few moments the circus proprietor
entered again, and announced with regret
mat the performance could not take place.
The fact was, he said, that the elephant had
recognized in the key board of the instru-
ment portion of the tusks of his long lost
mother who had fallen a prey to the ivory
hunters of Africa.
