AmtfflKMM Brutal Assault With a Hatchet Made by Benjamin Musgrave. HEAD CHOPPED TO PIECES. I <. . j No Cause Other Than Possible Insanity Assigned For the Terrible Deed—lni diaua's Oil Fields Increasing—Record of Crimes, Accidents, Suicides, Etc. Notes of the State. | Terre Haute, Ind., Oct.» 10.—Benjamin Musgrave, a laborer* made a mur- : derons assault on his aged mother with . a hatchet. Mrs. Musgrave is 65 years j of age and it is thought she cannot re- ; cover. The cause for the attempt at murder is a mystery which the wouldbe matricide himself cannot explain. He got a hatchet and began chopping his mother, who was yet in bed asleep. The > woman’s head is literally chopped to pieces. Will Musgrave, brother of the I prisoner, .was seriously cut while attempting to disarm his crazed brother. Beu is in jail pending the result of his mother’s wounds. His brother asked him why he had done it and he said “I don’t know.” I He left the house, saying he was going Ito give himself up. When the neighbors arrived the room where the mother lay was spattered with blood. Her face was' full of gaping wounds. There were seven distinct cuts on her face and head. She has since remained unconscious, and the' doctors say she cannot recover. The two brothers, who had been drinking, did not ariive home until late last night, and had a qdarrel on the way home. Benjamin j ! is in jail, and says he cannot explain his : conduct. — Elkhart’s Mysterious Murder.

mswrnw. Oliver W. Holmes and G. Gurtin Pass From Life. SKETCHES OF THEIR LIVES. Remarkable Careers In Llteratnre and Politic* — Hol tuee’ "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table” Hie Moat Popular Work — Pennnylrania'a War Governor and Hie Auoclationa With Lincoln. Boston, Oct. 8. — Oliver Wendell Holmes, famous as a poet and author, died at his residence on Beacon street yesterday afternoon from a complication of diseases. Dr. Holmes had been in feeble health for a long time. The last hours were passed quietly with his family by his bedside. Dr. Holmes returned from Beverly Farms about 10 days ago and the removal greatly fatigued him and, it is thought, hastened his end. The family residence was darkened and apparently deserted yesterday and few knew that Dr. Holmes was in Boston. The news of his death was kept quiet until a late hour last night. Just north of the common in Cambridge, Mass., and overlooking what is perhaps the most interesting spot historically in Massachusetts, stands a curiouq gambrel roofed house. It. is at least 160 years old. It was used by the committee of safety in 1775, and Benedict Arnold’s first commission was made out there. Not far away stands the famous elm under which George Washington took command of the American army. Washington occupied the house for a time. A little later it became the home of Dr. Abiel Homes, historian of 1 New England, clergyman and author, and in it, on Aug. 29, 1809, was born his famous son, Oliver Wendell Holmes. O ~~' 2 —— 0. w. HOLMES. All the historic and patriotic associa- ! tions of rhe’place seemeil to have,had their influence on the boy: To the last of his life he was proud of his birthplace, and the spirit engendered and so often expressed in words and acts there seems to have entered into tile very bode, blood and filler of the genial doctor When he was but 20 ; years bid he sat'in an fit tic room of the ; quaint old house and penned his stirring lines on the proposed destruction of the ; frigate Constitution, “Old Ironsides.” Except the Enstorian Bancroft, no other i ; American had so long a literary career, j and probably no other had one so uniformly brilliant, for he did admirable work in \ boyhood, anti until quite recently it could truly be said of" him that the lire of his intellect was not dimmed or his natural , force abated. The zenith of his power.was attained in 1 his contributions to The Atlantic Monthly for the first three or four years of its existence—lßs7 to 1861. The most popular of all his productions, the, one which secured ■ Wf/ W B BIRTHPLACE OF O. W. HOLMES, him the title by which he is best known, "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,” appeared as a serial in the. first numbers of . The Atlantic, and its advent was an era in literature. Enthusiastic editors declared that Dr. Holmes had created a new species of literature and opened an inexhaustible mine. It was compared to “Noctis Am--1 brosian®” and to many other works of the kind, always to their disparagement, and in the 33 years since it appeared in book form it does npt appear to have lost favor. The Schoolma’am, the Divinity Student and the “young fellow called John” are still quoted with .delight by millions. The “Professor at the Breakfast Table” followed, and t hen “The Professor’s Story,” which appeared in book form as “Elsie Venner: A Tale of Destiny.” He continued to give the public new books occasionally till 1887, when “Our Hundred Days in Europe” appeared. Several of his poems have given the public popular phrases of almost universal use, such as “the wonderful one boss shay,” for instance. WAR GOVERNOR DEAD, Andrew G. Curtin of Pennsylvania and the History He Made. Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. B.—Ex-Gover-nor Andrew G. Curtin died at 5 o’clock Sunday morning. His end was peaceful, he having been unconscious during the last 12 hours of his life. All the members of his family were at his bedside when he passed away. Mr. Curtin had been in feeble health J for some weeks, but his condition grew serious on Thursday last, and from that time he sank ranidlv. Death was caused bv oia age comoinea wnn nervous trouble. Andrew Gregg Curtin was the chief executive of the Keystone state during the civil war, and because his services.*h> his country were so great then he is chiefly known as Pennsylvania’s “war governor.” But his public services, aside from those he rendered during the great contest, were of sufficient Importance tn have given a lesser man lasting fame. He served in congress for several years, he represented the United States government for three years at the court of the czar of all the Russias, and he was a lawyer of extended practice, .’■ ■ • . ‘

- "’ll I ’ ‘XjX A. G. CURTIN. IMO, when but 28 years old, he took the stump for William Henry Harrison and continued in politics for some yea/s. , He was urged for governor in 1854, btnde- ■ clined in favor of Governor Pollock, an old ' schoolmate, who sought re-election, and to : whom he became secretary of state and I inaugurated many reforms. In 1860 Thad- ' deus Stevens, Galusha A. Grow, Alexander K. McClure, Matthew S. Quay and | others, then young men, backed him for I governor with success. Attention was at once turned to the Republican national i convention, and Curtin was one of those who took part in the historic fight for Lincoln as against Seward. Governor Curtin was inaugurated Jan. 1, 1861, to lie at once confronted with unprecedented difficulties. He first met Lincoln Feb. 22 at Harrisburg, when the latter was eii route Ao Washington, and it was by Curtin’s foresight that the martyr president was secretly conveyed to the national capital as a possible preventive of assassination at that time. He was prominent in the subsequent war counsels and his state furnished the first volunteers to reach the capital after Lincoln’s call for 75,000 men. Throughout the war Governor Curtin supported Mr. Lincoln’s' policy unswervingly. He left the gubernatorial chair in 1867 and was shortly afterward mentioned for United States senator, but was defeated by Simon Cameron. He was also mimed for vice president in the convention of 1868, but Schuyler Colfax secured the nomination. Mr. Curtin worked earnestly for the election of Grant and Colfax that year and was made minister to Russia by the president in recognition of his services, holding the post for three years and returning home iit 1872. During the nine years immediately following Mr. Curtin was not in public life. Then he was nominated for congress as a Democrat in 1881, and being elected served for six years. At the close of the Forty-ninth congress he retired to his home in Bellefonte, and the remainder of his life was devoted entirely to business pursuits. Commanded the Orpheus. Port Townsend, Wash., Oct. 8. —Captain Charles A. Sawyer is dead. He had command of the bark Orpheus 20 years ago when she collided and sunk the steamer Pacific off Cape Flattery, entailing a loss of nearly 400 lives and upward of $1,000,000 in gold dust. TO NEW YORK BY WHEEL. George Wolf Makes the Run From Chicago In New Time. New York, Oct. 8. —George W. Wolf of Chicago arrived here yesterday and dismounted in front of' the city hall, having wheeled all the way from Chicago, breaking the record between that city and New York by 1 hour and 13 j minutes. Wolf left Chicago on Monday ' morning last at 5 o’clock, and he estiI mated that he had ridden 1,038 miles | since that time. His actual time from I start to finish has been 6 days, 9 hours and 30 minutes. Allowing for difference in time, the bicyclist had really only occupied 6 days, 8 hours and 30 minutes in the record breaking feat. During that time he had only 11)2 hours sleep. Father Killed and Son Spared. Albion, Ills., Oct. B.—James Hardy, a farmer, in attempting to cross the track of the Peoria, Decatur aiyj. Evansville railway at Bonegap was instantly killed by the northbound passenger train. He was in a wagon, which was struck by the train and wrecked, one horse being fatally injured. Mr. Hardy’s little son, with him in the wagon, was thrown out and alighted upon the cowcatcher of the train uninjured. Victory For Ministers. Chicago, Oct. B.—The inspection of postoliice employes occurred yesterday without parade or brass bands, the new uniforms being inspected and the ranks broken at once. This programme was certainly a victory for the ministers who made war against a Sunday parade. Going to Have a Big Vote. New York, Oct. 10.—The total registration yesterday in this city was 102,906, as compared with 68,994 on the first day of registration in 1893 and 92,694 in 1892.

Says McKinley Has Garbled His London Speech. STANDS BY THE ORIGINAL Tie Virginia Congrewman Prepoeea *• Pablleh aud Suetter Hi* Chamber «f Commerce Dinner Addreee In HU Own DUtriot — Incident* of the Invitation. Prefer* Houae to Senate. Baltimore, Oct. B.—A Sun reporter yesterday boarded the steamer New York, on which was Congressman William L. Wilson, and directed the Virgininn’s attention to Major McKinley's comment on the London chamber of commerce speech delivered by the former. Mr. Wilson read this attentively and then remarked that “The best answer to all this is the speech I delivered, and which Major McKinley is criticising. If Major McKinley is rightly reported, he has simply garbled my speech by taking the first half of a sentence to twist it in one way, omitting the last half, which showed it could not be so used. I know full well that whatever I might say on such occasions would be thus garbled and falsely presented to the American people by protectionist papers and speakers, and so I did what I seldom do or have time to do, dictate and gave Reuter’s Press a full and accurate copy, from which Major McKinley and his followers may take all the comfort they can draw. I mean now, that it has been so garbled, to publish the speech in full and spread it over my district. It is just what I have been saying and shall continue to say to my own people. Why the Speech Wa« Made. “I went abroad at my doctor’s suggestion, to shake off my unspeakable fatigue, so as to take as much part as I could in the campaign. In England I visited friends at Oxford and Cambridge. Everybody being, in London phrase, out of town, I saw few public men. The dinner tendered me was, I felt, too great an honor to my country and myself to decline, coming from the great commercial chambers of the world, and I accepted, feeling that I could not show my appreciation of it better than speaking as an American citizen and exactly as I speak here at home. In this I was not deceived. My speech was received by the whole audience in the spirit in which it was made, and while many (perhaps most of them) may have disagreed with mo, I found more than one long-headed Englishman who agreed that our reduced tariff would make us a great competitor in the world’s market and eventually regain for us our share of th® carrying trade of the world." In London Mr. Wilson paid not the slightest attention to politics and saw few public men except at the chamber of commerce dinner. The English public men, he said, so far seem to know but little of the new tariff and he heard not many expressions of opinion on the subject." But as a general rule the English people always welcome anything that will promote trade. , Prefer* House to Senate. Mr. Isador Straus here interposed and declared that Mr. Wilson, with characteristic modesty, had tried hard to conceal himself and keep out of public notion. But the hospitable British business men had learned of his presence in London and insisted on being hospitable. The entertainers, Mr. Straus added, are the greatest merchants of the world, fin'd th« compliment paid to Mr. Wilson, as a tribu4e4o his distinguished ability and great reputation as a patriot, is one that few Americans have received in a foreign country. Mr. Wilson repeated that he was perfectly well aware of the use the Republicans would malm of the incident, but to have refused it, he said, would have been illbred, churlish and cowardly. In the subsequent chat Mr. Straus remarked : “If you should unfortunately lie defeated for the house I have no doubt the people of West Virginia will insist on putting you in the senate?” “I much prefer the house,” Mr. Wilson replied. “It is a far greater and more attractive field.” CLEVELAND AS ARBITER. Hl* Decision on the Brazilian-Argentine Dispute Soon Expected. Washington, Oct. 8. — President Cleveland is expected to give his decisTon as arbitrator of the important boundary dispute between Brazil and Argentine Republic soon after his return from Buzzard’s Bay. Baron RioBranco, special envoy from Brazil, accompanied by a large suite, is now here awaiting the decision. The case has been in Mr. Cleveland’s hands for eight months and as the treaty of arbitration provides that the decision mitst bo made within a year it is being looked for almost any day. The case is complicated and Mr. Cleveland’s decision is awaited with great interest by the southern envoys, as it means much to the strategic strength of the two dominant South American countries. Morever, the disputed territory is itself very valuable for its mineral and aericultural resources, itemoraces 11;823 square miles, wirn towns and villages having a population of 5,793, most of them Brazilians. Mr. Cleveland is obliged to give all the disputed territory to Brazil or to Argentina, so that there is no opportunity for a compromise which will satisfy both parties. i Strike Settlement In Sight. New Bedford, Mass., Oct. 8. —The amalgamated conference committee* of the strikers met yesterday afternoon to discuss the recommendation of the state" board of arbitration, and a committee was appointed to confer with manufacturers this afternoon. It is the general opinion among mill men that the conference will terminate the strike. Colored SongHtre** Dead-, Chicago, Oct.
