THE MURDER IN FAIRFAx.-The
body of John F. Harmon, who was shot
and killed by his wife, Sunday after
noon, at his home, near Fairfax Court
House, was buried yesterday morning.
No inquest was held, the county au-
thorities deciding that as all of the facts
of the murder were plain. and as the
self.confessed murderess was in jail, no
need existed for such q proceeding.
Mrs. Harmon had many visitors at the
Jail yesterday. During the afternoon
her eight children, large and small,
called to see her, and the scene was
quite au affecting one, the older ones
promising that no matter what happen
ed to the mother, they would care for
and bring up the smaller ones. Gen
eral sympathy is expressed for the
woman, and it is said that movement
is already on foot to obtain for her a
speedy trial.

A MAN detected in the act of stealing
a can of milk in New York a day or
two ago was, because he said he stole it
for his starving child, not only dis
charged by the judge before whom he
was tried, but told to go and do so
again. But supposed it belonged to
man who had bought it for his starving
child, and who hadn't money enough
to buy another one. II one man have
the right to steal milk because he says
his child is starving, why hasn't an
other one the right to steal the cow that
gave the milk. because he says he is
starving for beef? Many judges in this
country incite to, rather than deter
from, crime; but so it must be in all
populous countries of unrestricted suf-
rage. And the evils rapidly increas-

IT'S only natural that guilty men
have a poor opinion of the law by
which they are made to suffer; there
fore it is by no means surprising that
president" Debs should, from his pris-
on, deuounce the law by which he is con.
fined therein. The law provides that
mail transportation shall not be inter-
ferred with. That may be bad law
to Mr.. Debs, but to the thousands who
are anxiously expecting letters, there
could hardly be better one. And no
body can deny that the convict has had
"fair show" for though he did inter.
fere with the carrying of the mail, and
in doing so resorted to arson and muir
der to effect his object, his case had a
hearing in all the courts of the State in
which his crimes were committed, and
in the highest court of the land, and iD
each and all was his guilt established.

SEVEN MAD SPIRITUALIsrs.-At
Cleveland, o., yesterday an entire
family of seven were taken into custody
charged with insanity. The family con-
sists of Henry Buchwold, the father;
Charlotte, his wife, and two grown
daughters, Eva and Emma, and three
small children. All of the members of
the family are strong believers in the
spiritualistic faith, and have been lock-
ed in their home at No. 8 Beaver street
for over week, holding wildly insane
spiritualistic seances. One of the
daughters labored under the hallucina-
ton that she is a spirit, and another
member of the family that the spirit
must die. The spirit was perfectly
willing to be sacrificed, but the arrival
of the sheliff's officers prevented them
from carrying out their mad ideas.
