sAxBY's ALL RIGHT
An Evening of Rare Enjoyment, and a
Fine Crowd In Attendance.

Howard Saxby was here Monday night.
He held forth (He also held the royal
flush, which beats "a full house.") at
the Smithsonian Institute. 1t was an
splendid audience. DR.. Lafferty and ye
NFws-HERALD man serenely occupied
the elegant parquet. The Doctor says
Saxby looked at him when he mentioned
the highly intellectual character" of
his hearers. This statement we deny,
and, it reminds us that, outside of the
Doctor, the audience was good one.
Saxby came at us first, with a deep
and tender stroke OF pathos. He ac.
knowledged to hearty supper, but it
wasn't that made him feel bad. 1t was
an old, rusty, ragged. edged sin that had
been sticking cross ways in his gizzard
for years. His pent up feelings found
vent in Jerry. my. eve. ical lamentation.
On or about the date aforesaid, the said
Howard Saxby did commit an offence
against the peace and dignity OF the in
corporated village OF Hilsboro and the
inhabitants and institutions thereof, in.
asmuch as the said Saxby did write, in.
dite and cause to be printed in the Com.
msrcial Gazette, a newspaper of general
circulation in and about the corner OF
Fourth and Race, certain terrible allie.
cations purporting to be descriptive of
said village, inhabitants and institutions
aforesaid. His intelligent audience fol.
lowed him down into the deep pit of re.
noree and repentance. 1t watched him
don the garments of sack cloth and wal.
low in the ashes of humiliation until its
agonizng sympathies were eager to for
give, provided, he would agree to never
never tell the truth again-even in fun
Then his delighted soul went into ex
stacies OF mirth. 1t was happy as the
lark in its first bath of morning sunshine
Every sentence was full jewelled with
precious sp,rklers His genius reverses
the order of science. 1t is rulable tc
touch the button, and away goes the
electricity. But he touches off the eec
|
buttons Occasionally, he dropped into
the kindest, sweetest sentiment, and We
could hear the angels, away up il
heaven, playing low and soft while ht
said things that made us cry. Ther
would come another storm of laughter
And once, as we rose to swing our ha
and see over the puff.d shoulders of tn
ladies, there was general cry of "Dowl
in front !" We became aware tina
we had underestimated the audience
There were several in attendance

was packed, and we were wildly i'm

We have at last witnessed the end of
the Rhine tragedy and the summary
punishment of the murderer. The story
is all told and it is now a matter of his
tory. But one party was implicated in
the tragedy. That one was hanged.
The Grand Jury after sitting the case
for two days failed to find bill against
either the Parker woman or Sam John
son. Not one word was addnced that
would in any way implicate either of
the suspects. A score of witnesses were
examined and the examination was
complete in every way. Now but one
theory is advanced: Parker was alone
in the crime. He knew the Rhines had
small amount of money, and he went
there for the sole purpose OF robbery.
The old people heard and recognized
him, and on the spur Of the moment he
thought, "dead men tell no tales" and
he killed them. He committed the
foul murder to conceal the crime OF
robbery. That is the most plausible
theory yet advanced III U Scion.

Noble De Hass has pet that he wants
to getrid of, and can neither sell or give
away. Several days ago he pricked his
right wrist with pin, and the hand
and arm had swollen to nearly twice
their natural size, before the physician
got the trouble under control. He is
yet far from we'll, and probably has a
long seige of pain before him. But, he
has settled down philosophically to en-
Joy his misery, as only Noble can.

A MEAN ADVANTAGE.
Cincinnati Papers Make an Opportunity
to Indulge In a Spnseless Sem
sati0n.

Some of the Cincinnati papers are out
in sensational articles concerning George
Kramer, alleging that he skipped out of
Wilmington with mysterious and suspi-
cious suddenness to evade the payment
of creditors, and took with him 81 900
in cash
There is no foundation at all for these
allegations. They came from parties
who were personally offended at George
because they could not conduct them.
selves as they pleased in his house.
1t will be apparent to any one that if
he had wished to defraud creditors he
would have had to move beyond the
boundaries of the State. He is as much
under jurisdiction of the Courts here
as at Wilmington.
The stories of extravagant living are
utterly unfounded. His best suit of
clothes cost him SIS. The story OF $50
suits of underwear grew out of an ex.
change of pleasantries, and referred to a
time long previous to his marriage.
He has bought no $75 cloak for his
wife from Burkhardt, or anything else
from Burkhardt while in Wilmington.
He has lived economically and carefully
but, like many another man, has found
business improbable during these hard
times. He owed no grocer in Whining.
ton dollar, and sixty.fve dollars will
cover all his bills in the town. This he
has arranged to pay as soon as possible.
Finding that he could not make ex.
penses in Wilmington, he began looking
for some other point where he could
probably do better. Receiving a tele-
gram to come at once to Greenfield, TO
make arrangement for leasing hotel in
Portsmouth, he Immediately drove over
to New Vienna to catch the first train
This was the mysterious trip so sen
sationally referred to.
Having pool table for which there
was no use he shipped it to his father
here. On selling the hotel, the poo
table was promptly returned to the vii
mington hotel.
In the rush of going to press we car
not take up each item of the sensational
Misrepresentation, but, the above refer
ences will serve to show the animus anC
character of the entire articles, which
are gross and cruel fabrications from be
ginning to end.
