ELMO Furnishing Goods, And Trunks, Shoes, Clothing, Hats, Finally satisfied that both their victims were dead, the girls secured about .f:tf>0 and fled. Several hours later a colored boy, one of the tenants ou the place,while passing the mansion observed that the door was open and stopped to investigate. On entering the house he discovered the senseless and bleeding forms of Mr. and Miss "Waller on the floor and immediately rushed to give the alarm. By 5 o'clock in the morning the whole neghborhood was aroused and hundreds of people flocked to the house to learn the particulars of tbe affair and to offer their assistance in capturing their assailants. With the arrival of the physician Mr. Waller was restored to consciousness, and although in a very precarious condition, was able to describe briefly the occurrences of the night. Parties were instantly organized and the search for the two girls were undertaken with ardor. Miss Waller cannot recover. The Waller family is one of the most prominent in the State. Washington, D. C., Jane 15.—Details of the almost unprecedented attempt at a doable murder by two young girls, the oldest only 18 and tbe second hardly in her teens, nave been received fron Fredricksburg. The victims were Mr. W. E. 8. Waller, an old gentleman 65 years of age, and his sister, Miss Jane Waller. Mary and Jennie Green, sisters, were the assailants. Mr. and Miss Waller resided in a stately old mansion on a farm sitnated about twenty-five miles from Fredricksburg and near the village of Newmarket. The extensiveness of the Waller estate made the house somewhat remote from those of their neighbors. Here the couple had lived together for years, managing their farm and depending solely for assistance abont the house on the two Green girls. They had been reared by the Waller family, a matter which in the eyes of Mr. Waller was sufficient to guarantee their honesty. Last Friday Mr. Waller received quite a sum of money, which he kept in his room, and the girls were aware of the fact. They waited until about II o'clock that night, when, feeling sure that Mr. and Miss Waller were asleep, they quietly armed themselves with stout clubs and ascended to the old gentleman's apartment. As they entered the room Mr. Waller awoke, and seeing who it was demanded angrily what they wanted. Without waiting to reply the girls rushed at him. Though aged, Mr. Waller was still quite an active man, and springing from his bed he seized the elder and would have disarmed her had not the other hit him over the head with her club and knocked him senseless to the floor. Not content, with this, they belabored hi* senseless form with blows until,believing that life was extinct, they leftbim go for Miss Waller. Hushing into tbe old lady's room they dragged her screaming from her bed and with one savage blow fioni a club laid her senseless. Then they beat her about the head until all vestiges of her features were literally beaten out of recognition. T)R. W. F. BEYER, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, PUNY8UTAWNEY, PA.

When asked from which of the two great parties he expected the Prohibition ticket to draw the largest nntuher of votes, lie said "from the Republican party, of course, and I don't think it necessary to state iny reasons for saying so." One of the gentlemen present remarked that G. neral Heaver was a Prohibitionist, and asked Mr. Wolfe what he thought of the following ticket: Hewsr for Governor and Wolfe for Lieatenant Governor. Mr. Wotfemniled and Haid : "Well,Beaver is a Prohibitionist, and ho I believe are Tom Cooper and Chris Magee." "There are three classes upon wh.iin wo depend for support—men who have always been Prohibitionl&ta; men who are Prohibitionists in principle, but who have stayed with the Republican party and ire now disgusted with its hypocricy on this subject, and Independents and Democrats who are dissatisfied with the present administration."Philadelphia, Pa.,June 18.—Charlea 8. Wolfe, the new Prohibition leader and possible Republican candidate lor Got- I ernor, paid a flying visjt to Philadelphia to-day. During the afternoon he culled upon Joshua L. IJailey and was visited by D. L. Leeds, Dr. Samuel Daggy and P. G. Percival and a number of other prominent Prohibitionsts. He was at the Girard House to-night, where he received a[uumber of his friends. He said : "My visit was made without any uotice having been given to my friends, or I would have seen more of them. Those I have seen have given me every evidence of their warm support." "I have entered this movement," he said, "heart and soul, and whether I accept or decline a nomination, I shall vote the Prohibition ticket. I cannot ' form an estimate of the number of votes we will poll, as that will depend upon the impression we make on the prohibition and independent voters. I shall certainly stump the State, and I think our chances of polling 10,000 votes this time are far belter than were my chances of polling 50,000 in l-'-l. Every section of the State will be thoroughly organized, so fur as our means will permit, and an earnest endeavor will lie made to bring out the full Prohibition vote. It may not be successful and it may be an avalanche. Mr. Wolfe said he had received many letters from prominent Prohibitionists and Independents throughoatthe State indorsing his Bedford speeoh and urgiug him to accept the nomination, assuring him of their earnest support if he would do so. He had also, he said, reoeived a number of letters from Stalwart Republicans. The Schlossberg, on the banks of Lake Starnberg, in which Ludwig drowned himself, was the King's summer home. Roses of every description make the air heavy with their perfume, and the grounds are filled with cunning mechanical contrivances, almost outdoing nature in the realism of the effects produced. Generally all was silent about the grounds ; at flight fragments of "Lohengrin" and "Taunhauser" were wafted away on tho breeze as it passed over an islet in a lake, where the royal hermit sat in a Swiss cottage and held converse with his inseparable com panion, a piano. It is a spacious stalactitic cave with many ofi'shoots, secret niches, and obscure recesses, before which you stand. From all corners, niches, and clefts of the rock —from many recesses covered with colored glass, to right, to left, above, below —streams a sea of light, now yellow, now green, now violet, rose, red or blue, suffusing all parts with an indescribable splendor. Above all this flaming beauty a rainbow spreads its lovely light. The principal cave is about fifteen metres in diameter and ten metres high. From the background rushes, like liquid silver, glittering and breaking into spray, a beautiful waterfall, which falls in bubbling cascades down the face of the rock. It feeds a little pool,occupy ing three quarters of the floor of the cave, whose clear surface reflects the blending lights, with enchanting beauty. On the lake is a golden skirt', covered with rose ornaments, the hinder part of which enlarges into a shell. Standing on the bow of this diminutive boat is Amor, spanning his bow. Right and left the boat is adorned with red coral. A pair of doves, whose bills are united in kisses, are shown in the act of alighting npor. the left side of the boat. Two golden oars await the appearance of the mariner. Abovo on the rook rests the bewitching siren, combing her golden waving locks with a golden comb. Oil the wall of the cave, too, is Hackel's beautiful picture of "Tannhauser Slumbering in the Lap of Venus." There is also a mirror three and a half metres high and two metres broad. Three plates were broken in transit before this one was affixed to the rock. Near the place where the mirror stands a small stair with wooden rails leads to the King's seat. It is a seat some two metres in length, the back part of which is formed out of a giant shell, while roses and rushes entwine it all around. Here King Louis II loved to sit and gaze at once on a pictures of life, love and beauty. Back of the late King Lndwig's palace at Ober Ammergan is a grotto cut into the rocks of tbe mountain side and reached by a tunnel.

We handle the best line of YOUTHS' MEN'S, Genuine Mohair Coats& Vests Where, in this or any neighboring towns, do you find such an assortment of the the Knights and the trades unions." "This great hubbub over tin* relations of the Knights and the open unions is i gi at mistake. There was never any trouble with these unions. There is but one exception to this, and that is the International Cigarmakers' Union. There is as much clashing in our local as there is between "No strike in which more than twentylive hands are concerned will be sanctioned unless the General Executive Hoard has been represented in person in the et) i to settle the existing trouble by arhiti uion ; and even then the hands can only be ordered out, by a majority voto of the General Executive Hoard. In oases where twenty-four hands or less are directly or indirectly involved, a strike may be ordered by a local assembly, providing that two-thirds of its members in good standing so decide by secret ballot. Piiu,Ar>Ki.riiiA,June 15.—General Master Workman Powderly of the Knights of Labor and Mr. John W. Hayes of the General Executive Board arrived in this city late last night. When questioned to-day Mr. Powderly said : "As far as the boycott is concerned I think it is a thing of the p ist. There is no necessity for it. The same ends can now be attained by peaceful arbitration. The local assemblies now no longer have the power to place the boycott 011 a lirtn for every trilling otTeuoe. The power to declare a boycott now rests entirely will) the General Executive Board, and you may depend upon it they will use that power advisedly. A Very Menu Thief. Corky, June 10.—Tuesday John Hacherty, of Kane, Pa., was arrested lor stealing $45 worth of carpenter's tools. Yesterday moruiug he was again arrested for stealing from the German Catholic Church' He attended early mass and after t'»> poop'e had gone' sneaked behind ttie \ irgin1 Mary and drank what communion wine lie could And, then going to the box for he poof, he broke it open and took the contents,|8. Ho was taken to the utility jail at Erie this afternoon. The roll-call was watched with great interest both on the floor and in the galleries and an unusual silence prevailed as the clear tones of the Clerk enunciated each name. The only break in the silence oocured when Mr. Holman, who had jnst returned on an afternoon train from a visit to his district, responded in the affirmative when his name was called. He was greeted with a round of applause, which broke out afresh when Speaker Carlisle, directing the Clerk to call his name, cast his vote in favor of the motion. Washington, D. C., June 17.—In anticipation of the Tariff bill coming to the surface of the legislative sea this irorniug there was an unusually large number of member present when tho House was called to order. The gentlemen havingcharge of pairs on the respective sides of the House were kept busily at work, and tho chief, indeed tho only topio of conversation upon the floor was the probable fate of the coming motion to consider the Morrison bill. After tho House had transacted some routine business Mr.jHiscock, of New York, stating that there was an understanding that a motion would be made to-day to go into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff bill, inquired of Mr. Morrison at what hour he intended to make the motion. Mr. Morrison replied it was his intention to make the motion at 1:30 o'clock Promptly at that hour Mr. Morrison moved that the house go into Committee of the Whole to consider revenue bills. In answer to Mr. MoKinley he stated that his purpose was to consider the general Tariff bill; thereupon Mr. McKinley said that he concurred with Mr. Morison in his demand for the yeas and nays, and the Speaker ordered the Clerk to call the roll The result was the defeat of Mr. Morrison's motion—yeas,140; nays,157. Pauper I'reaku Returned to Ku ope. Charges of fraud in the negotiation ot the lease were made. It is enough to say that the Indians are incapable of the intelligent transncatiou of such business. If leases are to be allowed at all, the department should have taken entire supervision of the business. In regard to the Crow reservation iu Montana, the report recommends that it be reduced to such limits as will enable the Indians to use what they retain, and vest the titles in individuals. Iu theopinion of the committee, the consideration of $30,000 a year given by Messrs. Blade and Wilson for the rental of between 2,.'>00, 000 aud 3,000,000 acres of these lands was very inadequate, and the report says: The committee are of the opinion that the reservation is much larger tlum is needed or can bo wisely used by the Indians residing thereon; but if the lands are covenan ted by a treaty with them we cannot repossess them without the consent of the Indians. We believe it is entirely practicable to procure the consent, <>f tho Iudi ans to a reasonable reduction of the reservation as well as of the greater one ijing west of the Missouri river. An attempt in that direction has already been inaugurated and the necessary legislation has been passed by the Senate. Bat the committee believe that the settlers who went upon the lands thrown open to settlement by the executive order of February 27, lhS5, and in good faith made settlement thereon are entitlod to be protected as fully as possible from tbe consequenoes of this unfortunate complication. Washington, Juue 18.—Senator Harrison, from the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, to-day tiled a supplementary report regarding the investigation of tho condition of tho Indians in the Indian Territory and other reservations. In the report tho committee say, regarding the Crow Creek and Winnebago reservation iu Dakota Territory, that there are about 1,000 Indians drawing rations thoro. The trouble, which a sub-committee consisting of Senators Harrison, Ingalls and Jones, of Arkansas, were sent to inquire into, grew out of the throwing open to settlement by order of President Arthur of certain lands embraced in this reservation and the subsequent revocation of that orper by President,Cleveland. On this subject ttie report says: justices of t$« Iftait. PCNXSUTAWNKY, PA. Office one door east of Shields' store.
