TI-UII.VN()|I MI Sprini.'.'

We have the word of Alfred Tennyson for it that in the spring the voung man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. It is singular that the groat laureate omitted to mention the fact that it is in the spring that a considerable portion of the human race turn to taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but the difficulty of finding a good rhyme for that invaluable remedy deterred him. Certain it is that the old time domestic remedies are generally discarded in favor of the standard blood purifier. Hood's Sarsaparilla, which has attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the favorite spring medicine. It purities the blood and gives nerve, mental bodily and digestive strength.

RT.AIX IX T11K X1GIIT.

JI:I'KKI:SON vii,LK, lnd., March 7.— About o'clock Tuesday morning Stephen (ieer, an aged German farmer residing in the suburbs of this city, was awakened by the violent barking of a small dog which he kept around his premises. On going to the door to ascertain the cause of the disturbance ho found the animal crouched just outside the door whining and crying. As soon as the door was opened it ran inside and Mr. Goer, following it, picked it up and carried it outside. Just as he appeared in the doorway a shot was fired at him by some one standing not more than 25 yards away and he fell with about fifty shot wounds in his breast, abdomen and limbs. He lived only three minutes and did not speak a word after oeing shot. The weapon used was a shotgun loaded with slugs. 11 is wife and daughter heard the shot, and rushing to the door saw Geer lying in a pool of blood. Their screams brought the neighbors to the scene almost instantly, as several of them had been awakened by the shot. When they reached the house Mr. Geer was dead.

Foutul True** of the Murdor. The most intenso excitement prevailed as soon as the news of the tragedy and the various burglaries spread, and soon a hundred people were gathered at the house. The chief of police was busy until noon doing everything possible to gain a clew to the assassin. Officers were summoned at once and they began scouring for tracks or anything that would lead to the discovery of the murderer. A dispatch was sent to Seymour for the bloodhounds owned by W. A. Carter. Footprints were found back of the stable in the rear of the house, and these were taken up and followed for a quarter of a mile in a southeasterly direction towards the Ohio river. They were then lost and could not be recovered, as it began to rain.

Itloodlioiiiids on the Trail.

At that time Mr. Carter arrived with the two bloodhounds, which were taken to the scene. They took up the trail readily and started off in the direction of the Ohio, following the footprints found by the officers early in the morning. After following them up as far as the officers did they kept on toward the southwest and at last came, to a cottage occupied by an old colored man, Paul Jones, his wife, daughter and son-in-law, Herman Stenson. They entered the cottage without hesitation, and after going around the house two or three times came out to the fence and seemed somewhat confused, and finally wore forced to give it up, They were taken back to the scene of the crime twice, and each time without hesitation took up the trail and ended at the cottage. The inmates of the house were immediately taken in charge by the officers and subjected to close questioning. The evidence seemed sufficient to justify the officers in holding them until the case could be further investigated.

Kobbery Not tlir C:IIIH« ol' I he Crime. The actions of the murderer wore such that it is not thought, he was bent on robbery, as lie had ample time to escape after Mr. Geer's lirst appearance at the door, but, instead waited and shot, him on his second appearance. On the other hand, no motive can be yiveil for the cold-blooded murder, as he was not known to have an enemy, and it would be hard to find a more inoffensive or harmless person than lie.

There was a wlndcsale chloroforming of residents by burglars in this city Monday night. The entire family of Frank Hriggs were put, under the inlluence and the house ransacked.

WASHINGTON, March 7.—In reporting to the state department upon the prospects of enlarging the American wheat trade, the United States consul at llong Kong, China, says that little can be done at that place, as the Chinese use the cheaper rice in preference to Hour.

NEW YORK ELECTIONS.

Heavy Hrpnbll-ii.ii (ii&lns Ar« RoportoJ Throughout, thn Slatp. NKW VOIIK, March 7.—The election returns from the various counties of the state show decided republican gains. They have made gaius in some districts that the democrats held to be essentially their own. In Geneva the republicans made a clean sweep. livery one of their candidates was elected by an overwhelming majority. In Rochester the renublicana are jubilant over the outcome of the election, their candidate for mayor having been elected by a majority of probably .,000. In Little Falls iut a single democrat was elected. Kvery town in ayne county shows republican gains. In Glovorsville the board of aldermen is entirely republican.

The, returns from Rockland, Washington, Ks.sex, Clinton and Greene counties all show that the republicans hava either held their own or made larga gains. Lansingburg elected the entire republican ticket, by over 1,200 majority. Last year the democratic majority was .*1)5. Saratoga, county went, republican by increased majorities. In Ithaca the republicans gained a decided victory.

In Oswego the fight was between Cleveland, Hill and Piatt and autiPlatt candidates for mayor. The returns are so badly mixed that an ofr fieial count, will be necessary to decide. The nnti-l'latt republicans elect four aldermen, against two each for th« Cleveland democrats anil I'latt, republicans. In the new board of supervis* ors the anti-Platt republicans will liavo a majority of at least four.

The Dutchess county board of supervisors will have a republican majority of thirteen. Last year the democrat* elected fourteen supervisors. Tuesday they elected seven. Albiou went democratic.

In Oneida county the republican* have gained one seat in the board ol supervisors.

In Troy the vote polled was as heavy as that cast in the presidential vearM With a few districts missing the vot« for mayor shows that Molloy, the regular democrat, has defeated Whelan* the independent, by 1,400 votes.

AWED BY A GATLING.

More Arrests ItoiiiK Made of Rlotoua W*« Virginia ntriker*. CHARLESTON, W. Va., March 7.—Tho governor said Tuesday night that ther« was no apprehension any furthe« trouble among the Kanawha miners. Nothing developed that in any way changes the aspect of affairs. The officers are continually making arrests and the troubles are all well in hand. Four more arrests have been made, making a total of twenty-seven strikers in custody thus far. The preliminary examination of the VVyants and strikers is now in progress at Fayetteville. It will probably consume several day* The Wyants are out on hail.

Tiie gatling gun which was taken to Eagle Tuesday has been placed in position there, and it is thought will have a good effect in quieting tho strikers. It is in plain view of the railroad, and the great crowds of strikers that pass on every freight train look at it as long as it is in view. The Montgomery authorities who have been friendly to the miners in resisting the attempts of th« sheriff and posse to arrest, strikers within the corporation limits have been completely awed by the state authorities, and a telegram to tho Iaily Gazette says that they are doing all in their power to aid in making arrests. It is probable that the discovery of the dynamite plot has had a great, ileal to do with the change of front, on the part of the Montgomery officials.
