That was the last seen of Mu rray

head was almost severed from the

with leaden bullets. A short dis

found and the report gained rapid

Mississippi Farm.
Wesson, Miss, Dec. 9-One OF tho
most atrocious murders on record
was committed last night in Simpson
county, this state. Brown Smith, o
farmer aud son Of OK Represents
tive Edward Smith, left his family
at home 10 the country to 60 to town
for shopping purposes. This morn
ing when be returned he found his
wife and their five children welteripg
in their blood and apparently all
dead.
An alarm was raised immediately,
and ths entire neighborhood turned
out to hunt for the perpetrator OF
the foul crime. There being no
telegraphic connections details Of
the murder came in slowly, but it 10
reported d this evening that one of the
little girls. supposed this morning
to have been dead, has revived
enough to tell what she knew Of the
tragedy.
She says that she knows the man
who committed the deed; that it was
a negro and described him. A posse
is now on the track of the murderer
and there is great probability that
he will be apprehended before morn
ing and there can be but little doubt
of his meeting speedy justice when
caught, without waiting for the for
mality of court.
It is learned that Mrs, Smith and
the other four children are dead.

10 PURGE PENSION ROLLS.
CONGRESS WOULD STOP THE LEAK.

Officials Admit That Millions Are Paid An !
nuaIIy TO Claims Without Merit-Unless
the Administration Acts Congress Will.
Washington, D c., Dec. 6.-Un.
less the administration takes the
initiative aud inaugurates a purging
of the pension rolls, Congress will
probably take up the matter at an
early date.
Recent instances of frauds of vari-
Gus kinds have been so convincing
that even pension officials do not
hesitate to admit that the govern
ment is paying annually hundreds of
thousands of dollars on claims abso
lutely without merit. The evidence
see ms to clinch the statement that
/ thousands of pensioners are being
carried on the rolls who long since
died and were buried, and that under
the dependent pension acto 1880 at
least S1,OOO,O0O annually goes to
persons who are fraudulently receiv-
ing government bounty.
The evidence of wholesale frauds
is being compiled, and so imminent
is a great national scandal that Off
cials high in the present adminissra
ton have already discussed the mat
ter, and have suggested tentative
reforms to meet the situation These
frauds are not political especially
nor chargeable to any particular
administration. They are the Iegiti
mate outcome of the pension system
which indiscriminately herds tht
deserving soldier and the fraue
together.
To clear the pension rolls of tn
thousasds of pensioners whose death
have been concealed by benehciaries
it is proposed to publish by states
counties and townships subdivision
: the entire list Of pensioners. This
it is argued, would reduce the dea'
? men to a minimum and bring ou
