him to death with chairs and cubs when
u few of his friends who were standing
on the opposite corner heard his cries
and ran to his assistance.
All the doors had been boited when the
fight began and Carrs friends began

COUNTRY LASS MURDERED.
Sixteen-Year-Old Daisy Smith Shot
and Her Throat Cut.

Shaniokin, Pa, Oct. 10.-Miss Daisy
Smith, aged sixteen years. the pretty
daughter of Henry Smith, residing in
lower Augusta township, was shot at IL
o'clock this morning. after which her
throat was cut from ear to ear TIE
murder was committed near her father 5
home.
This evening, William Krissinger. a
young man who had served time in the
Northumberland County Jail, was arrest
ed on suspicion of being the assassin. He
was seen some time after the finding of
the body, washing blood from his hands
at trough. close to the Smith home
stead. He denies the charge.
Miss Smith was one of the most popular
girls of the valley. She left home short
ly before her death TO visit a neighbor.
Her father, who was in the fed at the
time, heard three distinct reports Of a
revolver. From where he stood the house
obscured the scene of the firing. He
thought farm hand was shooting at
crows, and therefore, continued at work.
Some time later he went to dinner All
of the family were there but Miss Daisy.
She was rarely absent and after the fam
lily had been eating for a few minutes Mr..
Smith said he would try and find her.
While walking in the direction of the
pike. he saw ehe PROSTATE form of his
daughter. Her clothing was slightly dis
arranged. There was a bullet hole in the
back and another in the head. while a
third had shattered her left hand. Her
throat was also cut.
A search for the murdere- began. kr s.
singer. who has not been long out OF Jail.
was a familiar figure in the valley, and
his unenviable reputation at once caused
many to think he knew something about
the crime. Search was made for him and
he was soon found. He said that he
knew nothing about the killing.
The assassin must have been in ter
rible rage at the committal of the crime,
owing 10 the extremely savage manner in
which he hacked the girls neck, follow
ing the shooting.
Her family say, as well as the neigh
bors that she. so far as they knew, did
not have an enemy in the word.

the building. and the heavy boards came
crashing down upon him, carrying him
to the ground. Johnson was also hurled

TROOPS FOR PEACE JUBILEE.

Camp Meade, Pa, Oct. l0.-Maj Cen
Graham is In accord with the proposition
to send the provisional division of his
corps to the peace jubilee at Philadelphia
on the 9th of October, but he is in doubt
whether the plan is feasible unless Sec
retary AlGer modifies his order directing
the movement of the corps to the South
ern camps to start the same day. 1t VIII
be impossible, he says, to have ten thou
sand troops stop at Philadelphia en-
route to the South. These troops must
return TO camp and prepare for the trip
to the new camp and the movement OF
a large body of soldiers, with the iEpedi-
menta of an army, is not small onder-
taking.
Il is believed, however. that the Phila-
delphia committee will succeed in having
Secretary Alger so modify his order as
TO make the arrangements heretofore
agreed upon regarding the presence OF
the troops at the jubilee celebration
effective. Gen Graham says the men VIII
be paraded in their campaign uniforms
and the thousands who attend the jubl'ee
will see the soldiers as they are in the
