Dragged by Chouls over the Snow,
Stone Walls and Wire Fences.

Hanover, y. H., Nov. 1O-The day
before Thanksgiving Joseph NIurdoclt
hanged himself to tree near his home
in Norwich, Vt. The funeral was held
Saturday, the body was placed in a
tomb and buried the following Monday
The relatives of the deceased visited
the grave Sunday and discovered
suspicious state of affairs. Tracks in
the snow showed that something was
wrong, and the matter was reported to
the authorities, who ordered the grave
to be opened. The box and coffin We're
found smashed and the body was gone.
Further investigation showed that the
body had been dragged through the
cemetery, thrown over the fence and
then dragged across pastures, over
stone walls and barbed wire fences un-
til the main road was reached, one-half
mile distant, where a wagon was in
waiting. The people here lay the blame
to the Dartmouth college medical stu
dents, but probably this is not de-
served as the school term is closed
and but few medical students are in

Last night news reached Greenville Of
the brutal murder near Butler, in that

The debris was examined and parts of
the victim were found The balance of
the body mad been consumed. An in

THE dark and bloody ground of Ken
tuckys says the Pittsb urg Post, Is likely
to be made little more so 10y the battle
over financial issues this summer. The
election takes place III August, and the
legislature then elected Will have the Sc
lection of "A United States senator in
place of Senator Blackburn, who has
announced himself as candidate for re
election on a radi cal free coinage plat
form, at the ratio of Is to l and regard
less of what other nations may or may
not do. Secretary Carlisle will take the
field and make at least one speech be
fore the opening of the canvass, and
there is no doubt he will antagonize the
position of Senator Blackburn on the
currency question. 1t may be that Sec
retary Carlisle will become a candidate
for the senate, as the Blackburn term
commences with the expiration of the
Clevelend administration on the 4th of
March, 1897. But this is hardly proba
BILE unless to solve deadlock. In addi
ton to Senator Blackburn the announ-
ced candidates are ex Governor Buckner,
Congressman McCreary, Governor Brown
and W. c. p. Breckinridge. They will
all take the stump in Kentucky fashion,
and the fur will commence to fly in a
few weeks. The Courier journal and
Nj. Watterson, who are power in
Kentucky, antagOnize free coinage, and
give a strong support to the financial
policy of the national administration
The Kentucky Republicans see hopes
for themselves in the expected Demo
cratic division on the silver question
Following Senator Blackburn's strong
declaration in favor of free coinage, the
Republicans of the senator's county of
WOodford have taken an advance step.
and in county convention on Tuesday,
to select delegates to the state conven-
ton of their party, took ground not
only against free coinage of silver at any
and at all times, but resolved in favor of
the gold standard as the chief corner
stone of our national monetary sys-
tenn
Sound money conventions under
Democratic auspices are to be held in
Nashville and Memphis next month,
but the Tennessee legislature has de.
clared for free coinage, and Senator
Harris has put himself on the same plat>
form.

Harrison Il Candidate.

indianapolis Ind, April 22-Benja-
min Harrison viii he the candidate of
the bimetaIists Of the United States in
1896. This statement was made to day
10y a Republican of national prominence
who had just had a talk with the eN-
president
He will toe nominated by the Repub-
Hcan convention as a compromise can
didate,' said the speaker. That is
the plan of his friends | do not know
that General Harrison will actively seek
the nomination. He can get it without
utteriug a word. The silver people of
the West know his sentiments. and they
are satisfied he stands for all they can
hope to get in 1896.
The speech which General Harrison
made in Colorado, February 2S, 1894,
while on his way to California will nomi-
nate him. 1t was the first and only ut
terance of the eX president after he bad
left the White House. 1t was made in
the town of Lahunta, in the heart OF the
silver mining district
General Harrison has entirely recov-
cred from his recent illness and appar-
emily was never in better health.
