made public a reply to the letter written
by David Powell. of Greensburg. in which
Powell charged that the Republican com

evening at the courthouse Mr.. Browder
publicly repeated his letter. The lie will
react on the Democratic organization. The
letter is as follows:

DOUBLE MURDER.
Brother and Sister Killed and Their
Bodies MutiIuted.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Aug. 7.-Henry
J. Reed, a money lender, and his sister,
Blanche NJ. Reed, were found dead in their
home here to-day. They had apparently
been murdered by burglars.
The house had evidently been entered
during the night and the burglars discov-
cred by Miss Reed, who was killed before
she could make a disturbance, and then the
brother was beaten to death because he re-
fused to disclose the hiding place of his
money. The house had been ransacked
from top to bottom. Everything was in
confusion. The body of Miss Reed, bat
tered and almost u~nrecognizable, lay
across the threshold of her bedroom, While
in his room on the bed, concealed by the
covering, lay the body of Henry Reed,
gagged and also covered with blood.
The bodies were in such a state that it
was almost impossible to determine how
death had been inflicted. In the mans
head was a wound which looked as if it
had been made by a bullet, but from other
marks it was apparent that a heavy i'm
PIGMENT of some sort had been used TO
beat the head almost to a pulp. A piece
of quilt had been forced into the mans
mouth as Il gag and he had apparently
been slain in bed. The Woman's body was
much IN the same condition. She may have
been shot, but that can be determined only
by the medical examination. AS the body
lay partly IN ana partly out OF the room,
it appears as ii she had stepped out of
bed on hearing a noise below and was
either killed or rendered unconscious by a
blow before she could Investigate further.
The poIice are inclined to believe
that the motive of the crime was robbery,
but it is thought by many that The
mutilated condition of the bodies indicates
a desire for revenge on the part of the
murderers. MI. Reed was well known in
this vicinity and was highly respected. He
was about torty-five years of age. his Sis
ter was fifty.

A THIRD CHALLENGE.
Another Italian officer Wants to Fight
Prince Henri D'OrIeans.

PARIS, Aug. Lieutenant Bopha, the
only surviving officer of the Fourteenth
Battalion of General D'Abarmida's brigade
of the unfortunate italian expedition
against Abyssinia, has challenged
Prince Henri of Orleans in conse-
quence of the latter's structures on the
conduct Of the Italian soldiers in Africa.
This is the third challenge received by the
prince for the same cause. General Alder
tone and Lieutenant Pima have precedence
over Lieutenant Bopha. General D'Abar-
m1da was one of the Italian officers killed
at the battle of Adowa when some 1000
Italian troops under General Baratieri
were killed. General Albertone also COM
manded a brigade in that engagement,
which was fought in the latter part of
April, 1896, and aroused so much bitter feel
ing throughout Italy that for a time it was
believed the throne was in danger. 1t is
further stated that King Humbert of Italy
has intrusted his eldest nephew, Prince
Emanuel Filiberto, Duke of Aosta and hus-
band of the Princess Helene of Orleans,
daughte Of the late Count of Paris, with a
mission to the Orleans family. the object
being to prevent the duel between Prince
Henry of Orleans and General Albertone.
