Jackson, O., Jan. JO.—Mr. Lang Bierly and wife, people of industry and character above reproach, live in a sparsely settled part of this county, and yesterday forenoon he went to town. Shortly after two strangers, roughly clad, came to the house and asked if the man of the house was in. On being answered that he was not they entered without further ceremony and at once took possession. They had with them a quantity of coal oil, which they poured over the clothing of Mrs. Bierly and upon the floor and bedding, evidently with the intention of criminally assaulting Mrs. Bierly, and then burning the house and their victim. One of the men remained at the door, as if on guard, while the other seized Mrs. Bierly and attempted to force her upon the bed. A desperate struggle ttxik place between the man and Mrs. Bierly, in which she was se-
verely hurt.
Set Fire to the Oil. At length the other man set fire to the oil. Mrs. Biorly’s presence of mind saved her life. Pretending to catch a view of her approaching husband though the half open door, she screamed for his assistance. This so frightened the two rufiiiis that they broke for llie woods near by and left her exhausted. Mrs. Bierly made an effort to save her j home and succeed - l in doing so by throwing out of doors the tmruing I quilts and smothering the flames within, after which she g ive the alarm. Her husband later returned and at once took steps to have the men caught.

The debate was of an interesting character, and at times very spirited. It touched quite extensively on the treas- j ury situation and the remedies to be applied. Mr. Dingley of Maine made a long statement of the receipts and expenditures to show that the treasury was suffering from lack of revenue and that the first duty of the government was to increase the receipts of the treasury. Mr. Ril'd took a similar view of the situation, which was again controverted by Mr. Wilson of West Virginia. The attempts to amend the bill by repealing the other portions of the saga, duty were opposed by Mr. Wilson ou the ground that if the bill was loaded down with amendments it would surely
moot its doom in the senate.

Elkhart, Ind., Jan. 30.—Viert Little, who has been under surveillance as the murderer of Jo; i'. .an Orumpacker at Bristol, has beau placed under arrest here, having escaped the officersat Bristol. The investigai ions of the officers has led to the belief that Little was the principal in the Crumpacker murder mystery, which has baffled the best detective skid to solve. It has been discovered that the foot tracks in the road where Crump iek -r's body was found exactly corr .ponded it; measurements with the fo prints of Little. This ami other links of evidence, and the charac ter heretofore borne by Little, strengthens a suspicion th it he is the murderer. Crump icker, who was a wealthy farmer, was found near his home the night of Dec. 21 with Ins skull crushed. The fatal blow was struck with the end of a buggy pole. Robbery was the motive for the deed. Suspicion lias rested on Little from the night of the
