Both were also badly disfigured, having been eaten by hogs. Raten and Ashley, who were school officers, suspecting Hons- tein of the larceny of articles from the school, threatened the latter with an in vestigation, and it is supposed that in an altercation Houstein shot both men and concealed the bodies in the haystack. Houstein has left the country. GOYEBNOB GUT, of the Chickasaw Nation, I. T., was not killed as reported, the would-be assassin's bullet missing him.

THB Supreme Court of the United States, through Chief Justice Fuller, has rendered an opinion of unusual in terest to holderiB of life-insurance policies. Thomas L. Hume died in 1881 totally insolvent, bat leaving $35,000 in life-insurance policies, payable either to his widow or children. The administrators and creditors of Hume's estates sought to force application of the proceeds of the policies to the payment of debts. The Supreme Court holds that the beneficiaries are entitled to the proceeds of all the policies without any deduction whatever on account ot premiums paid, holding that a husband and father has a full right to insure his life in the interest of his wife and children, and that where such policies are effected in the name of the beneficiaries they are no part of the estate of a deceased insolvent.

The Grand Jury is composed equally of Republicans and Democrats, but politics is not likely to cut any figure, as Judge Woods, a Bepub lican, enjoined the jurors not to allow partisan considerations to interfere with their judgment... Coming as this does from a Jurist who is Gen. Harrison's confidential friend, who was with him at Middle Bass Island this summer, and who is believed to be the choice of the President-elect for the first vaoancy on the Supreme Bench, the charge hM more than ordinary weight, and its real significance is that the next President is going to enforce the election^ laws. In his charge Judge Woods did not mention names, but he might jnst as well have done so, and the indictment of Col. Dudley seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Over 9180,000 Realised Off One Seek of Flour. Probably the most noted election bet was that made by Ruel Gridley, of Aus tin, Nebraska, in 1862. He bet that he would beat his opponent. The terms of the wager demanded that the loser should carry a sack of flour from upper .to lower Austin. Gridley lost, and the day after election started on his trip, accompanied by the entire population of Austin. The question arose as to what disposition should be made of the flour, and some in genious individual suggested that it be sold at auction for the benefit of the Western Sanitary Commission. Gridley was auctioneer, and the bag was knocked down for §250. The purchaser declined to receive it, and suggested that it be 6old again. The idea took like wildfire, and tho bag was sold again and again, and be fore night the snm of $8,000 had been realized. Gridley saw fame for him and gold for the sick soldiers * opening before him. He entered heart and soul into the idea, and he started with his now famous bag of flour on an expedition which im mortalized himself, and brought joy and comfort to thousands of suffering sol diers. His reception everywhero was like u Roman triumph, and the people, infected by the noble work, vied and struggled with each other in their generous rivalry. Gridley sold his flour all over the West, and finally exhibited it at tbe great sani tary fair in St. Loufls. Afterward the flour was beked into small cakes and sold at a high prioe. \Vh< n the grand total was added tip it waa found that Gridley'a bet had b^eft tbe iu«*u«.af adding moie then The CaamuMdsr-la-Chlcr Stakes Uta Wat of Alda.

[Topeka special.] The Supreme Court of this State has handed'down an important decision con cerning the right of the Salvation Army to parade upon the public streets of the cities of tne State. Some weeks apo the city of Wellington, witb the intention of preventing the Salvation Army from pa rading upon its streets, passed nn ordi nance forbidding any person, society, as sociation, or organization to parade upon any public street of that city, while shout ing, singing, beating drums, tambour ines, or other musical instruments, un less consent in writing from the Mayor was first obtained. After thi) ordinance was passed nnd published, several mem bers of the Salvation Army paraded on one of the principal streets of that city without the writteu consent of the Mayor, and contrary to the piovisions of the or dinance. The leader, together with sev eral of his male and female associates, was arrested, and subsequently triel and convicted in the police court of the city. Appeals were taken by the defendants, to the District Court, where the parties were again convicted, an^ thereupon they ap pealed their cases to the Supreme Court. That court, in the opinion handed down, which is the first ever given on this sub ject, declared the ordinance void end dis charged all the parties arrested. The Court says, in its opinion: "It is not a reasonal 13 regulation to vest the power arbitrarily in the Mayor to grant or refuse jermtsHion to any Hasocialion of persona, com- 3ined for legal and meritorious purposes, to pa rade the streets with music. The use of musical instruments on such occasions is not specially objectionable. Hongs and shouts, cheers and the waving of banners have always been consid ered aa demonstrations of approval, and not as tending to create disturbances or provoke breaches of the peace. All these are the usual accompaniment a of public demonstrations in every civilized country, and there ia nothing in their use on all ordinary occasions of thia chart acter to justify absolute proh bit ion." AMERICA'S_C0RN CROP. Tb* department or Agriculture Estimates the Yio'd at 8,000,000,000 Bushels. The returns of the yield of com made to the Department of Agriculture indicate a yield per acre as large as that of 1885 and larger than any other crop since that of 1880. The aggregate grown on a larger area will exceed that of any previous American product, being very close to 2,000,000,000 bushel1', or about 32 bushels per capita, which has been exceeded in several previous years. The average yield of the States is as follows: Ohio, 35.2 bushels; Indiana, , 35 bushels; Illinois, 36.2 bushels; Iowa, 37 bushels;"Missouri, 31 bushels, Kansas, 27 bushels; Ne braska, 36 bushels. These seven States produce 64 per cent, of the crop. The general average will fall somewhat under twenty-seren bush els. There is a good supply of maize in nearly all parts of the South, so that com paratively little will be required from tbe west. The yields of the Atlantio States are moderate; seriously reduced by frost on the northern border.

[Ixmdon cablegram.] The Whitechapel murder fiend has added another to his list of victims. The body of s woman cut into pieces was dis covered in a bouse on Dorset street, Spit- alflelds. Tbe remains were mutilated in the same horrible Inanner as were those of tbe women murdered in Whitechapel. Tbe appearance of the remains was frightful, and the mutilation was even greater than in the previous cases. The head had been severed and placed beneath eneof the arms. The ears and nose had been cut off. The body had been disem boweled and the flesh was torn from the thighs. The skin had been torn off the forehead and cheeks. One hand had been {rashed into the stomach. The victim, ike all the others, was a jdisreputable woman. She was married, and her hus band was a porter. They had lived to gether at spasmodic intervals. Her name is believed to have been Lizzie Fisher, but to most of the habitues of the haunts she visited she was known as Mary Jane. She had a romn in the house where she was murdered. She carried a latch-key, and no onfo knows at what bour she entered the honse that night, and probably no one 'saw the man who accompanied her. Therefore, it is hardly likely that he will ever be identified. He might easily have left the bouse at any time between 1 and 6 o'clock in the morning without attracting atten tion. The doctors yho examined the re mains refused to make any statement. Three bloodhounds belonging to private citizens were taken to the place where the body lay and placed on tne scent of the murderer, but they were unable to keep it for any great distance, and all hope of running the assassin down with their as sistance have been abandoned. Several arrests have been made, amidst great ex citement, but no proof has been brought forward as to the guilt of the parties in carcerated^ : ATIISSOURI Recalling the Whitechapel Horrors--The Crime Almost Forgotten. [St. Ix>uia Olobe-DSmocrat.J The Whitechapel murder mysteries which have appalled the civilized world and baffled the London police and detect ives have brought out numerous recitals of revolting homicides in both the old and new worlds. Strange to say, oue of the most mysterious ana horrible whole sale murders in the history of crime, where the murderer has uever been appre hended, has dropped out of sight, and all efforts to ferret out the guilty party or parties long since ceased. That crime was the butchery of the Spencer family, near Luray, in Clark County, Mo., ten years ago. The Spencer family, consisting of father, two daughters, and a son--the father on the shady side of 50, the daugh ters full-grown, and the son 16 years of age--were classed among the best peo ple of the county. Old mnn Spencer was frugal, and was supposed to have considerable money at all times. He owned a valuable farm and some property in the town of Luray. The murder was discovered by neighbors, who noticed that the house had not been opened, and as this bad never happened before it created sus picion, and finally a distant relative, ac companied by his farm hand, broke into the unpretentious little farmhouse, and found on the first floor, in the rear room, the horribly mutilated remains of old man Spencer. The house was a story and a balf structure. . The men proceeded to the attic floor, where the two girls were found in bed dead, and also terribly mutilated. The relative, who is still a resident of Clark County, knew that the son slept in the barn, and the horrified men continued their investigation in that direction, where young Spencer was found with his skull crushed and a pitchfork driven into bis abdomen. The alarm was given and never bad such excitement prevailed in that section of the State. The relative was suspected of having committed the murder in order to secure control of the property and waf promptly arrested for the erime. Detec tives were imported, among them one Frank Lane from Louisville, Ky., who after a few days announced that the man under arrest was innocent, and pointed out as the murderer one Bill Young, who owned a large farm in the neighborhood, and who was regarded as a dangerous man, though never convicted of any crime. Young was arrested and narrowly escaped lynching, meanwhile protesting his inno cence and claiming he could show his movements »»id whereabouts during the entire week of the murder. > When his case came to trial one Laura Sprouse, a dressmaker, testified that she was in Young's company dnring the time be was accused of having committed the quadruple murder, and brought in a host of witnesses to show her own whereabouts night and day. The trial lasted several days, and attracted wide attention. The jury brought in a verdict of "not guilty." and Young was released. The people were not pleased, with the re sult of the trial, and made strong threats of taking justice into their own hands. Laura Sprouse came in for her share of censure, and it was intimated that she knew more about the murder than slue would tell. Two weeks afterthe trial Bift , Of^Toung married Laura Sprouse and the couple went to Keokuk, Iowa, on their bridal trip, Young was a widower and had several small children. He had been defended in his trial l>y a Kentucky lawyer named Coffman, who fought for his client like a tiger, and did much to save his neck, with the aid of the woman Sprouse. Frank Lane, the Kentucky detective, chagrined at the release of Young, remained in Clark County endeavoring to secure new evidence against the acquitted man. and finally succeeded in arousing the neigh bors of the murdered Spencers to frenzy nnd a desiie to lynch Bill Young. Coffman, the attorney, telegraphed Young while at Keokuk to remain away until the intense feeling had subsided. Young, with his bride, was at the dinner table at the Stanleigh House, Keokuk, when he received the message of warning. He laughed aloud, threw the message on the floor, and when asked what course he would pursue, said: « "I shall return home at onee." He was as good as his word, and did re turn to his farm in Clark County the fol lowing day. A mob of over 200 men arrived at the Young farm a few hours after its owner's return. Coffman, the lawyer, beat the jiiob to the farm and gave the alarm, and "Young barricaded doors and windows, brought out a rifle, double-barreled sliot- igun and two revolvers, and prepared to defend himself. When the mob arrived they found the muzzles of a shotgun and n rifle protruding from apertures in the house and halted at a sale distance. A parley was held and it was decided to sur round the house. This was attempted, but Young was on the alert and met his assailants at every turn. After several of the mob had been wounded and Young had been shot in the arm, the lat- ter's ammunition gave out, and the mob with a rush battered in the doors and poured into the house. Young was game, and had mounted a pair of stairs, where he stood, covered with blood, one arm hanging by his side, and in his right hand a rusty saber with which he held his bloodthirsty pursuers at bay for several minutes. He was finally over powered and dragged from the house, and, despite the pleadings of his wife and children, placed in bis own wagon, which was ran under .the arched' gateway, when tbe tope waa quickly adjusted around . • _ lo lls assured that tbeltf week badOieea nnnnftiatlili il ths - mob toasted; leaving Ymng'e Wy dang- -/ lingJEST the gate.

It was always believed that she knew more about the Spencer murder than any one else, antf a newspaper correspondent worked 'untir- ingly to glean some information from her. but signally failed. 7 "When I am on my d^ath-bed," she would respond, "come to me Aid I will tell you all I know. Not before." When the correspondent was informed by the city physician that Laura Sprouse; as she was always called, waa dying. h« hurried to her bedside at midnight, bu| she was too far gone to answer his eager inquiries, responding once to the queer: ?- "Did Bill Young kill the Spencers?" f "No." ' '"ii And there the awful mystery rested; Young could have had no motive for tbe V murder save robbery or the gr&tmcation of a homicidal mania. He was in good cir* v cumstances, and the theory of robbery was not regarded as a good one.

'> The most romantic story of an election bet comes from Broadbrook, Conn. Georgik W. Brown is a blacksmith in Broadbrookj' and the smithy is his sole possession. He- ; is a stanch Republican. For a long time he has paid court to a young woman, tb# * daughter of a Democratic farmer, wfoj» ' did not look with favor on the young man because of his politics. Again and again has Brown pleaded with tne agricultur ist for the hand of his fair daughter. but invariably in vain. He received nf •Y& encouragement whatever, and in the heat" of one political argument not long ago the> ' old man turned the young suitor irorn the door and positively for. adfe 'him to eve#;V>V enter the house again.
