PAULDING, O., November 5.-A most
appalling murder was discovered here
this morning. Two children Of Samuel
Good. living three miles north Of town,
were found 10 brush pile murdered and
an attempt had been made TO burn the
bodies. The girl, aged six, was decapi-
tated and disem boweled, and the boys
throat was cut from ear to ear and his
head nearly severed from his body. The
boy is nine years old. The children left
home at 10 a. III. yesterday. At p.
N. a searching party was organized
and searched all night and at 3 o'clock
this morning the bodies were found.
They presented a most horrible spec
tacle. The news OF the horrible affair
spread rapidly and coon hundreds OF
people were on the scene. Sheriff
Staley was among the number, and
arrested Charley Hart, neighbor boy,
who was at once suspected. and the
people of the neighborhood are firm in
their conviction of his guilt. Young
Hart says be cannot read or write and
does not know his age, and is very
nervous. When accused Of the
crime he denied IL in nervous
way. The bodies were found with
In three rods Of young Harris
home and about half a mile from the
home of the children. The little boys
boots were found in the grass a short
distance from the bodies. Their little
hands were tied together with piece
of tarred rope attached to a billet of
wood resem bling rough hewn pump
handle. 1t is thought this will furnish
a definite clue II the boy is guilty. One
Of the grounds OF suspicion is that
when the bodies were found the boy
discharged his gun and ran to his home
in an excited manner. lie was one OF
the searching party, and was far in the
distance when the children were
found.

SAN BERNARDINo, CAL, November O..
The first election ever held In this
section at which women only
cast ballot for candidates for
county and State officers has been
held in Southern California, and
French, Prohibition candidate for Gov
ernor, is probably ahead. The move
ment originated In San Bernadino two
months ago and soon spread over this
county aud into Riverside, Los Angeles
and San Diego counties. For God and
home and native land" was the motto
everywhere In sight about tue polling
booths.
About 90. 900 votes were polled, al
most all the ballots being scratched,
although the Prohibitionists and Popu-
lists received many more votes than
the old parties. To prepare their bal
lots in two cases required 40 minutes.
The best time made by any voter
was 1216 minutes. Several dis
turbances occurred at the pollos be-
cause some ladies demanded the right
to delve in the ballot boxes and FISH out
a ticket which had been voted, TO make
desired corrections. When tue judges
demurred to this there were exciting
scenes and an interchange OF harsh
words. The count OF the ballots is not
complete The women will work to-
morrow for tickets successful In their
own election.

GENERAL ATHLETIC NOTES

Tennis and boating have both come for
ward during the past week Boating mat
ters began to wake up as much as a
month ago, but although some of the en-
thusiasts have been out on the river a
number of times already, most of the oars
men have been hanging off until they could
begin in earnest. The time is now getting
ripe, however for rowing, and the interest
is rising in boating circles everywhere
Bowling is ON the wane. 1t has been
dropped to a great extent and is dead
nearly everywhere. except at the Columbia
Athletic Club. There the nine-pin tourna-
ment in progress is exciting a good deal
of interest among the bowlers
The Potomac Boat Club was the first
to begin operations this year. and is now
in good shape to begin the work of the
season. The Columbia Athletic Club put
out their float at the boat house this week
and members are at work on the rowing
machines two nights every week. The Ana
lostans also have been stirring about at
their boat house and are ready for BUSH
ness.
Up to this week base ball has been about
the only field sport on the run, but tennis
will soon claim its own. Tennis playing
will not begin for few weeks yet, but.
HednWnlle, CLUBS VIII De forming and
courts will be laid off and put in shape.
During the week the tennis players at Ken
dali Green have organized and are looking
over their traps, while out at Georgetown
University courts have already been rolled
and marked off and tournament planned
for an early date. The tennis courts at
the new field of the Columbia Club too
are more nearly ready than anything else
and can soon be put in perfect condition
Tennis has increased in popularity Won
derfully here during the last two or three
years, and the present early and general
movement regarding the game is the best
possible sign of the hold it will have on
Washingtonians this summer.
The Y. NJ. c. A.
The uppermost topic now at the Young
Mems Christian Association Is where their
new athletic park will be. AS ordered by
the Commissioners, Howard avenue will, in
q few days, be extended so as to cut right
through the old park at the corner of 18th
and U streets, and the Y. NJ. c. a. boys
must pull up stakes and seek for other
quarters. The change, coming as 1t does,
just as outdoor athletics are getting under
way, will be regretted, of course, but 1t Is
better that 1t should be now than later in
the season. Mr. Pugh and Mr.. Sims have
been busy lately travelling around after a
new park They expect to obtain site
which will offer all the advantages of room
possessed by the other, and to fit out field
better and more to their liking, even, than
the old park. The chances are, however,
that the new park will be further away
than the old one was. The location of The
new field will be known after the board
meeting next Monday night II not before.
