HISTORY OF THE CRIME.

Cincinnati, O., March 20.-In the ear
ly morning of February /, 1896, boy
going to work discovered dead body of
a girl in an obscure part of Mr.. John
Locks farm adjoining Fort Thomas,
Kentucky. The murderers had cut off
the girls head to prevent identification
and removed it to some place that has
never yet been discovered. The only
garments on the body We're a union under
suit and cheap checked wrapper. A
pair of shoes lay near; also a kid glove,
two hairpins and a few strands of
blonde hair. The shoes were a woman's
No 3, and on them was an opera toe
rubber we'll worn. Inside the shoes
which were of the needletoe description
was the stamp of Lewis and Hayes of
Greencastle with a Portsmouth, Ohio,
firm as the makers. Nearby was a white
corset spOtless except from bloody finger
prints. AT the top of the bank where
the feet lay was a pool of blood. This
spot was in the gap of a private hedge
on which remained dead leaves. On
both sides of these leaves, above and be-
low, were drops of blood. AT the foot
of the bank near the neck was another
pool Of blood. On that morning these
few garments were the only clew to the
identity of the dead girl. Bloodhounds
were taken to the spot and they followed
trail to the Covington reservoir and
could be induced to go no further. The
reservoir was drained, but the head was
not found All subsequent search for
that head has been fruitless.
Four days later the shoes, the glove,
the hairpins and the wrapper We're iden-
tilted at Greencastle, Ind, by her parents

in The Green Bag.
Some years ago an eastern farmer
in trying to repeat Webster's dying
words, 81 still live," gave an amusing
rendering of the spirit, if not the ex
act letter, of the phrase. Agentlemar
had remarked to him, "Life is very
uncertain" "Ah, yes," replied the
farmer, "that's true, every word of it
and by the way, captain, that makes
me think of what one of your big
Massachusetts men said when he dice
a spell ago."
"Who was it ?" inquired the captain
"Well, I don't jist call his name
now, but at any rate he was big
politicianer, and lived near Boston
somewhere. My newspaper said thai
when he died the Boston folks put hi:
image in their windows, and had
funeral for whole day."
"Perhaps it was Webster" suggest
ed the captain.

They were talking of me.
"He really thought I was smitten,
Tom," said Evelina. "He firted with

"Did he dare" began Tom.
"Didn't he know"
"Of course I did not tell him I was
engaged to you," said Evelina. "Why,
Tom, you couldn't be jealous of such
fellows man with no idea beyond
his counter"
Then Tom kissed her.
I waited for no more. Fortunately
I caught the down train. At twelve
O'Clock I was in the city. At the
depot I met simpkins about to start
for Albany.

"Confound him, yes," said Simpkins.
"My head clerks place is vacant" 1

For ages, parents of all classes,

NORWALK, Oct. 22.-(Regular Cor
respondence) Norwalk is all excited
over daring burglary committed here
last night. L. E. Shepherds store was
entered and the safe cracked. The
thieves secured SIS in cash and seven
or eight hundred dollars worth of notes
and checks. The latter of course are
worthless to them. They also carried
away a valuable revolver and number
of pocket knives. The actual loss to Mr.
Shepherd will be about $3.50 or 5000. The
outer door of the safe was left unlocked
and the thieves found it comparatively
easy to drill through the inner door and
blow it open. Lou Brentner, whose
hardware store joins the grocery, and
who lives next his own store, heard the
noise He took a light ard stepped into
the hardware store TO see what was the
matter. He was promptly fired upon
through the front window. He returned
to his room and got gun and went to
the front door, when he was fired upon
again. Three shots were fired at him.
None hit him, but one ball which had
spent its force going through window
and a screen door fell at his feet. He re-
turriad the fire but without effect. 1t
is thought there were two or three men
at the job. Two men have been here the
past two Gays selling some patent wire
household implements. They are no
where about today, ard there is strong
suspicion that they are the burglars.
There were four bullet holes through
the window of Brentner's store.

reported that the propositions embraced
Hawaiian clause to the effect that if
the islands were annexed only $310 n
ton would be paid our growers. 1t would
appear on second thought that the Ok

that the Watsonvil2e factory has made

greater returns. A committee of gentle

hoped that it will materialize and that
