Death Lnrkrd i'm a we'll.

Lebanon Pa, June ia villainous
effort to murder two families, number
lug nearly Il dozen persons, was made at
Weaverstown. village in this county.
As result of drinking poisned well wa
ter, one child of Henry Beckley, Sr., is
dead, and another child is dying, while
all the members of both families were
dangerously ill. AS yet, the murderer
has not been discovered, and there is no
known motive for the awful crime.
The families of Henry Beckley, Sr.,
and Henry Beckley, Jr., reside in ad-
joining houses, AS is often the case in
village, one well supplies a number of
houses with water. The Beckleys get
their water from one well.
Yesterday morning the family of Hen
~ Beckley, the elder, was stricken by a
violent illness. All grew deathly sick,
and it was soon suspected that poison
had been put into either their food OF
| water,
At the same time the family of Henry
Beckley was also afflicted in a similar
manner. Then doctor was summoned,
| but he was too late to save one of the
children, and il soon expired in awful
agony. Another child is pronounced by
the physician to be beyond recovery,
it is believed all the others will survive,
An examination of the water has been
made. 1t has been discovered that q
great quantity of paris green was thrown
into the well, most probably during the
night. The water thus became by morn
ing deadly solution. The poisoning
has greatly excited the residents of the
town, and efforts are making to discover
the murderer. Suspicion as yet seems
to rest upon no one particular person.

enlightened on the line of Bible study

of all denominations speak in the highest
praise of DR.. Tyler. Two eccessions to

passed through with the prisoners and a
number of witnesses. The trial will be
had before United States Commissioner
Benjamin p. Seals in Montgomery to-
day. The charge against he negroes is
sending obscene letters through the

The letters were received by a number
of young white men about three weeks
ago and warned them under penalty of
their lives not to frequent certain por-
tons of the town at night. A number
of young men were highly incensed and
1t looked for a few days as IL serious
trouble would result. telegram mes
sage was received in Selma ordering 1000
rounds of ammunition and messen-
ger was sent to the city to purchase VIM
chesters and pistols. Cooler heads it
seemed prevented bloodshed and the
matter was turned over to Uncle Sam for
settlement.

The Siftings Boycotted by Sound Money"
Merchants-Edit Comment.
Dotnan. Sept. 23.-(Special Correspon-
renee 1.-THE Siftngs says:
The sound money merchants of Dothan

a boycott against the Strings. The fol-
loving firms have withdrawn their adj
vertislng and all patronage from
the paper: ]. R. Adair & Co.,
Through Major Terry and Mr..
j. II. Jones. the clothier. There
are probably few others who are not
saying anything, yet Withholding their
patronage from the paper.
The cause of this action against the
paper is on account of the support of
Bryan and sewar and Clayton, the dem
ocratic nominees and it's opposition to
the boiling movement. We regret that our
friends have seen proper to pursue such
a course as this; it is, in our Judgment
mistake, and Gill rebound to their own
injury more so Than it will to ours.
1t is just to say that the majority of
even the nationalsts oppose this high
handed effort of eoercing this paper We
have treated the boilers fairly very fair
ly, indeed. We think they are wrong,
and we are sorry about the way they
are doing, but we have said no unkind
word about a blessed one of them, have
We? But we have right to our political
opinion and we are going to support Bry-
an and Sewall. and Clayton, too, and
free silver. too, in this campaign il every
customer in this town were to withdraw
from us, and we shall leave it for all the
people to say whether we must suspend
on this account
Some of our merchant friends are en-
tirely too busy now to fix up any bust
ness for this paper, and only few
months ago it was too dull; some Of them
are rich and don't need the aid of one
horse newspaper at all, and some Others
still have boycotted it. But we have pa
per enough on hand to run eight weeks
longer, and as long as we do run, be II
understood. we intend to continue tc
watch our friends and make nice persona
mention of them when they go anywhere
or come back; we intend to bring all the
people to this town that we can with this
paper to trade with them while they, too
last and when the sheriff comes to close
them up we intend TO suppress this fac
as much as possible. or express our pro.
found regrets, as well as those of the
puhlic Then lastly. when we all gather
