MONMOUTH MURDER.
Dstseiives Attracted to That Section by u,
Large Reward.

The $1,000 reward for the murderer O,
murderers of j. Augustus Sawyer of Mon
mouth has attracted the attention of many
detectives and would be discoveries
of the persons guilty of the CHASTITY
deed. The people round about the
section where the murder was commit.
ted are not disposed to give what little in.
formation they may have regarding the
murdered man, owing to the fact that they
have been interviewed by persons claiming
to be detectives and then charged not to
give the same information to anyone else.
This has been done so repeatedly that they
are now inclined to be conservative.
1t has been learned that Mr.. Sawyer had
about $4,000 worth of personal property.
He had been in the habit of keeping money,
papers and other valuables hid about the
house, as investigation has revealed Dur
ing period of 10 years of living all alone,
considerable rubbish naturally collected
about his house.
Some valuable papers have been found
hid behind the doors and stored away in the
cracks in the ceilings, others were un-
der several locks. The clews have
been boiled down and some of them have
been found to be worthless. There is a
quite widespread belief that the PERSON or
persons who committed this crime are still
in Monmouth.
Two men were at Monmouth Center,
Friday, one named Tibbetts and the other
Carver, one of whom claimed to be from
Lewiston, the other from Auburn. They
said they knew who committed the terrible
deed. They would not tell, and it did not
take long to discern that it was the reward
they were fishing for. As yet they have
divulged nothing, but the best authority on
the case is not yet done with them.
1t is understood that the clothes exhib-
tied at the Center, the other day, by George
Gilman, farmer who lives near there,
were not found in the woods, but were car
ried to the old homestead of the murdered
man in basket, by neighbor.
The house and barns are being ransacked
to see what more may be found regarding
this old man, who lived so solitary life.
1t is still deep mystery and one which,
from present prospects, will not be solved
in very short time.
As general rule, and in fact it is seldom
the case, that tramps carry revol-
vers. They are generally too hard up, at
least the ones who appear before the police
court here from day to day have neither
money, firearms or anything of the kind.
There seems to be something in the wind
at present which may develop into the solu
ton of the enshrouded crime.

Several others were seen regarding the
ordinance. Mayor Milliken said he did not
care to make any direct statements but
SAD to the reporter, "You know what wa,
done with it by the board of aldermen /.
For the benefit of those who did not read
the report of the city government, we will
aod that the ordinance in question passed
'nat body. One wheellnan said he
would sell his wheel if the ordinance
passed the city government. When
asked his reasons, he said he generally rode
nome on his wheel and very often the street
was very muddy, and he could avoid the
mud by taking the sidewalk.
1t will be seen that the wheelmen gener-
ally are in favor Of the lanterns and bells.
Many of them think it proper that they
should be allowed to ride on the sidewalk
when it il clear. Some say that if the
wheelmen keep in the street and pay taxes
on their wheels as do the owners of teams,
"why not compel the t,ams to carry lam
term"

Planning to Kill.

Reading about the qualities of the
death-dealing new rifle with which, If
tomorrow's test at Newport terminate
satisfactorily, it is purposed to equip
our American marines, one is I'M
PEELED to inquire if, after all, this is
really an age of civilization and peace.
The fact that mans keenest energies
seem bent in military circles at least
in devising new and marvellous
mechanisms for more expeditions hui
man slaughter may perhaps, by its
great augmentation of the liability to
carnage, have repressive effect on the
belligerent instinct; but it looks at the
same time as if it were proof of civil
ization's lack of self.confdenCe.
But we are wandering from our pur-
pose, which was to present descrip-
ton of the newest appliances for the
quick making of corpses. The small
arm at present used in our navy is the
familiar 45-inch caliber, which, charged
with ordinary black powder, sends its
projectile 1900 yards, only fifty-five
rounds being carried by each man.
The new rifle, using smokeless pow
der, enables each man so carry $50
rounds and shoot effectively 1000
yards, or considerably more than one
mile. The barrel of the gun need not
exceed thirty inches in length, and its
caliber will be only .256 inch, or only a
fraction larger than the familiar %
caliber revolver. The projectile, we
are informed, CLOCKS like an inch and
a half of heavy telegraph wire, and the
explosive chamber Of the cartridge
widens out like q champagne bottle.
The bullet is nickel steel, coated with
nickel, weighing 1876 grains; the ex-
plosiveis 40 grains of risheite, the high
est-powered smokeless explosive.n At
short range one of these bullets has
been driven through fifty inches of
solid pine.
The naval experts who have tomor'
rows test in charge express great con.
lidence that American ingenuity
will, in this matter, once more "aston.
ish the world" and, speaking strictly
within the lines of probability, they
are doubtless correct. AS the same
time thoughtful persons may be par.
doned for questioning if it would moi
be more laudable thing with which
to bid for the admiration of foreign
multitudes were some of this peerless
Yankee invention to materialize in the
form OF moral achievements not sug.
gestiye of bloodshed, and in spiritual
triumphs which do not have behind
them the grim and awful shadow Of
possible tragedy.

The strain imposed on the United
States regular army during the Debs
strike, whereby every available mill
tary force, not counting the national
guard of the various states, some of
which also was enlisted in police
work, has led in many quarters to q
somewhat animated discussion as
to the alleged necessity of enlarging the
standing army. Major General Scho-
field, the present commander, favors
such an enlargement, and also counsels
the enlistment of emergency men until
the whole force has attained q maxi
mum of 10000 men.
Commenting upon this, Major Gen
eral Howard says:
For years / have maintained that our
present force Of ~, 900 or $4,000 men was
inadequate, and have urged the neces-
sity OF increasing that force to at least
6O,0oO. l believe that a till should be
passed BY which each state should have mn
additional 1000 regulars assigned to It,.
When, some years ago. ventured that
opinion, my critics said: "Oh, yea. natur-
ally General Howard would like to have
his command increased Now that am
about to retire such an ambition can
hardly be accredited to me. My idea has
been and is that we absolutely need and
ought to have more force, that as our fire
departments are organized with view to
possible contiagratiop, so our army should
BIZ fit to cope with at least probable dis
tprbances. AS General Schofield says, here
in the east we :have fine militia The
efficiency Of the New York and Pennsyl
vania regiments is well known, and /
want no better drilled troops than saw
In camp In New Jersey a few days ago.
But out west the situation Is en-
tirely different. Then, too, members Of
the militia have their daily work to do
and 1t is great hardship, both to them
and to their employers, that they should
be called upon SO frequently. When 1t is
considered that 1t takes fully 10000 men

point which must be taken into considers

an uprlsing on their part at such time as
during these recent labor troubles. New
York city could hold her own, but what

1t will be seen that General Howard
favors virtually state police similar
to that which was advocated to some
extent in this state just subsequent to
the trouble at Homestead; only he
would have this auxiliary force direct
ly under command of the war depart
ment and not nominally subject to the
state authorities. Considering the
quality Of some of these local authori'
ties in certain western states, notable
Altgeld in Illinois, Lewelling in Kan
sas, Waite in Colorado, and Pennoyer
in Oregon, the generals disinclination
to having regular troops placed under
their jurisdiction is not surprising.
Nevertheless, we apprehend that there
will be decided opposition among the
people to any extended increase of the
regular army. 1t savors somewhat toe
openly of militarsm.

AT THE H
Pie Counter

There is little town in Bradford
county, on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
which furnishes more material for u his
torical romance than almost any other
in the country, and yet it has missed being
famous. The discoverer OF an old jour-
nal or package of letters, relating to
Asylum, Bradford county, say in the
summer Of 1897, when the three Orleans
princes ware its guests (the elder Of them,
Louis Philippe, ascending the throne OF
France some thirty years after) would,
thinks writer In tho Buffalo Express,
have the chance of adding something Of
great value to the world OF letters. Un-
fortunately, the early annals Of Asylum
are surprisingly meager, and often con-
Trajectory. Rochefoucauld, who visited
the colony In 1896 tells the most that we
know OF the settlement Of French royalist-
refugees, persons of quality in the main,
who had fled from the Reign Of Terror in
France to this Asylum" prepared for
them in the new world. In due time they
had made provision for receiving Louis
XVI, and Marie Antoinette, who, in
their attempt to escape from France in
the summer Of 1871. had been arrested ut
Farrenes and carried back to Paris and
the guillotine. The colony at the time Of
the dukes visit had been founded fifteen
years. Succeeding historians have added
little to Roehefoucaulds account. Inter.
esting as it is, and full Of detail, we can
not help wishing thas the duke had gos.
siped more freely about his poor country
mems affairs. Should the lost diary Of
Louis PHILIPPE d Orleans ever be found
that part of it covering the journey Of the
three exiled princes in this country, when,
after long tramp through our wild west,
they were returning to Philadelphia, via
the Genesee country and stepped for Q
fortnight at Asyum-that no doubt,
would give US a glimpse of the refugee

nothing has MS yet, But, alas, that diar y
