Akron, Ohio, March 29.-At a late
hour last night a masked man entered
the farmhouse of Alvin NJ. Stone, near
ralmadge. and in a brief space of half
an hour committed horrible butchery.
When he took his departure, Stone
and his wife, both aged people, We're
lying dead in bed horribly mutilated,
and Ira Stilson, the hired man, and
Emma Stone, the eldest of three daugh-
ters, were unconscious from blows dealt
by the murderer.
The murderer entered the house by
means of a ladder, which he raised to
an upstairs window. He first passed
through the room in which Flora and
Hattie Stone We're sleeping without
awakening them. Going quietly down
stairs to the room in which MIR. and
Mrs. stone slept, he attacked them
with a blunt weapon of some sort, hit
ting both upon the head. They We're
probably rendered unconscious and pos
sibly killed by the blows, but the
fiend, not satisfied with that, proceeded
TO mutilate their bodies with a knife.
He cut off one of stones ears, slash
cd him across the face, and stabbed
him in the back. Then he laid Mrs.
stones cheek open with the knife.
After satisfying his fiendish desires
downstairs, he proceeded to the room
Of Stilson, upstairs. The hired man
heard the intruder, apparently, for he
had arisen, when he was dealt a stun
ming blow on the head Then the muir
derer turned his attention to Emma
Stone who slept in room by herself.
When he entered her room she
screamed. That awakened the two
other girls, who slept across the hall.
Hattie Stone arose to go to her sisters
assistance, but as she entered the lat
ter's room she was felled to the floor
by blow on the head, but fortunately
was not rendered unconscious. Regain
ing her feet she ran to her own room
and locked the door. Throwing a bed
quilt about her she leaped from the
window and ran through the rain and
mud to the nearest neighbors, a quar-
ter OF a mile away.
After he had struck Hattie down the
murderer returned to Emma's room
and struck her on the head, leaving hei
unconscious. Then he tried the dool
to the room in which Hattie had left
her younger sister Flora when she
jumped from the window. Finding The
door locked he battered It down. Find
ing only Flora in the room he asked
where the other girl was. When tolc
she had gone for help he hastily left
The house and made his escape. t"f
Hattie, with the blood streaming
from the wound on her head. managed
to reach the neighbor's house, told hei
story. and then tainted. After she hat
been put to bed the neighbor calling
for help, went to the Stone house. Ther
the evidences of the butchely were dis

BUSINESS nnroRn THE SENATE
Matters OF Importance That VIII
Come Up This Week.

Washington. March 29.-The present
Arrangement in the senate is to take UP
the bill providing for a settlement Of
the accounts between the state of Ar
kansas and the United States at the
conclusion of the morning hour Mon
day and to give the day to that bill il
necessary to dispose of It, 1t is doubt
ful, however, whether further time will
be given the bill if it is not out of the
way when the adjournment hour IS
reached Monday night.
1t is expected that the postohice APP
preparation bill will be reported from
the appropriations committee Monday.
and if it should be. the disposition will
be to take II up in the senate Tuesday
and pass ii as soon as possible. Sen
ator Mitchell says he viii ask the SEN
ate to proceed with the consideration of
the Dupont election case after Monday,
providing appropriation bills do not
stand in the way.
The appropriations committee hope to
have the Indian and naval appropria-
tions bill ready to report by the last
of the week. Senator Cannon's resolu-
tion directing the opening of the Un-
compahgre Indian reservation in Utah
Will become the unfinished business af-
ter the Arkansas bill The foreign rela-
tons committee is anxious to get up
the bill to prevent the determination Of
the Alaskan seals as soon as possible,
aud it may be pressed to the front dur
ing the week.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, March 29.-The sundry
civil appropriation bill probably will
consume the major portion of the time
of the house this week. The bill will
precipitate general opposition on the
democratic side because of the fact al
ready pointed out that for all continuing
work now under contract Giver and har-
Dor and public buildings work), the bill
carries appropriations for only eight
months. This is an entirely new depar-
ture. and will bring up a general discus
sion of appropriations all along the
| line
In addition to this the bill carries $685.
| 0OO,000 over 81, 100000 less than the es-
| Inmates. In the odds and ends which
make up the sundry civil bill members
| are personally interested, and where the
| committee has declined to recommend
| in accordance with the estimates the
| members interested can be relied upor
to push their opposition to extremes.
The intention of Chairman Hit of the
| foreign affairs committee, is to call uI
| the conference report on the Cuban res
| olutions as soon as the sundry civil bill
is out Of the way. It is not thought
the adoption of the report will encoun'
ter much antagonism.
The leaders OF the house are bending
all their efforts to hasten the appropri.
| alton bills, in order to effect an early
final adjournment. The river and har-
Dor bill is the next appropriation bill II

having in charge the subject of recipro-
cal trade relations with foreign coun-
tries, has received a number Of letters
during the past week on this subject.

ture favoring closer commercial rela-
tions was received. Four letters We're
from boards of trade, 10 from merch-
ants associations and 80 from repre-
sentatives of private interests. As a
rule the replies are favorable to recipro-
city. The Louisiana Sugar end Rice
Exchange and the New York Grocers'
Association think some provision should
be made for a bounty on sugar Some
of the writer's favor reciprocity with
Spanish-American countries only. and
others designate articles which they
think would be benefited.
The Winter Wheat Millers' League, of
Indianapolis. sends a pamphlet headed,
"Reciprocity and Retaliation Needed"
The head Of the Lake Millers' Associ-
alton of Duluth and Superior (Wis) says
a reciprocity and retaliation law would

criminate against American -four.

Manufacturers says:
