St. Louis, January 6.—Albert Bradley, a prominent citizen of Aiistin, Texas, brings news of the fearful tragedies enacted in that placo recently. " The bracc of murders at Austin, said he, are but two of what might be called a series of similar outrages extending over a period of three years. It may appear strange to person* whose„atteution is called to the matter for the lirst time to learn that something like twelve murders could be committed in a large community without a trace of the murderer being discovered, yet such is the ease. Th« manner in which the outrages were committed, the means employed to bring about the death of . and all of the attending circumstances are such as prove conclusively that all the murders arc the work of the same person. With the exception of thro# married men the victims were of the gentler sex, four of them being niar-1 led women and the others young girls. In every case the women and girls were dragged from their beds at night, carried out of the house into the back, yard and after being subjected to most terrible cruelties dispatched in a horrible manner with the blow of an axe or some blunt instrment. The time selected by the wrich or wretches, whichever it maybe, i.< always the same, beiugeither on Christmas or New Year's Day or during Christinas week. Detectives from New \ ork City and Chicago have been engaged to run the murderers down and in one instance blood hounds wer* put upon the scent within an hour alter the deed was committed, but all to no avail. The mystery surrounding the bloody affairs is still impenetrated,"The citizens of Austin have been aroused to a pitch of great excitement. They are at a loss to know what course to pursue and recognize that until the murderer is ferreted out and brought to justice their lives are in danger!" Before March 1, '86. Cleveland ill Agog, Cleveland, 0., Jan. 7.—There is great, excitement among the residents of Brownell street, a thoroughfare that crosses Euclid avenue and penetrates the best residence part of the city. Last night Miss Iua Norton, a pretty blonde residing at No. (19 Brownell street, went to 162 Prospect street to participate in a social game of cards at a party gathered at the house of a Miss English. Thoughout the evening she seemed extremely nervous, ana at 10 o'clock requested some one to take her hand at whist for her. Rising from the table she went out into the hall, and was seen no more. Her parents, who were present at the time, were very anxious about tho girl's disappearance, and reported the matter to police head-quarters. This morning it was learned that a marriage license had been issued to Gus Barber and Mertis I. Norton. Calling at the house on Urownell street, a reporter was met at the door by a colored domestic, who immediately asked, "Are you a reporter?'' Auswering in the affirmative ho was told that Mrs. Norton would see no one. Inquiry of the colored servant elicited the fact that she was well acquainted with Rarber but Mrs. Norton, who evidently had been listening, then appeared on the scene and said there was nothing to be stated, The reporter then called at the home of Miss English, A number of friends of the Norton family were present and the following facts were assertaiued. The Norton family moved from Seville, (_)., to Cleveland, three years ago, uud opened a boardinghouse near the Hollenden Hotel. Two colored domestics were employed, one of whom isat present with the family These girls had two lovers, Bragg and Barber, both of whom were tonsorial artists. Barber is a colored Adonis, and it transpires that his affections were rapidly transferred from tho servant to her white mistress, and Ina did not seem to be averse to the same. Clandestine meetings were frequent, the colored girl acting as a go-between, and on Wednesday afternoon Barber's colored chum Bragg procured a marriage license for him, and Mr. Augustus Barber was united in marriage to Miss Ina Norton at the residence of the Rev. Gassoway, pastor of the African M. E. Church on Erie street, Wednesday afternoon. The lovers then seperated. Miss Ina went to the card party and leaving her hand with a friend she went outside and met tho barber who was waiting with his faithful Bragg. A carriage whisked them to the Union depot and it is supposed they took the train to the East. I fficc two doors east of the Post Office. III. W.F. BEYER, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, Fcmybctawkey, PA.

This morning Theda A. Strumblis, of ltollin, Mich., a bright and pretty young lady of good family, arived in the village and in an excited state of mind asked for a livery, where she found a horse and drove immediately to llartsville. On her return, while waiting for her train, she told her story. Several months ago she begau a correspondence by chance with a young man named George Benjamin. The letters ] between them became move frequent affectionate, until liually au engagement of marriage was made. The ceremony was to have taken place on New Year's but on that day the expectant bride, having made all preparations for the rather romantic wedding received, instead ol the bridegroom, a telegram from his sister announcing that "George" was very low with typhord fever and could not come and that he was coutinually asking for " Theda." The telegram urged her to his bedside and she hurried as fast as possible. lie had never sent his photograph, but described himself as having dark hair and mustach and good looking. With disgust the young woman said he proved to be red headed, pug-nosed and squiut-eyed. lie was not sick at all when she arrived at his home and had not been. There was a scene there, and the disapointed and foolish girl returned to her home, refusing to have anything to do with her note-paper lover. Washington, I). C., Jan. 8.—The resolution ottered by SenatorEutis today, directing the Secretary of the treasury to redoein the 10,000,000of United States bonds including in the recent call in silver, is believed to have been presented with the intention to harass the administration. Even the most ardent advocates of silver realize the fact that it would cause a serious financial disturbance to have >$10,000,- 000 in silver suddenly thrown in upon the market, and that, too, in payment of obligat ions which, it has been understood, would be met in gold. It would raise a storm about the ears ot the silver men that they would be unable to withstand and cause a reversion of feeling against them in the minds of a great number who are now favorably disposed on the silver question. Senator Eustis' hostility to the administration is well known, and though he is recognized as a silver man, it is not believed that he ottered this resolution with any degree of sincerity, but simply for the purpose of annowing and embarrassing the AdmiuisU'atiou.Fighting Prohibition in U«orghi.
