John W. Coffee was hanged at Crawl'ordsville, Ind., for the murder of a man named McMullen and his wife in January last, the house being' burned afterward to hide the crime. He made three confessions during his imprisonment, implicating at various times several other parties in the perpetration of the deed.

The rope broke twice, but was finally adjusted satisfactorily, and in twolvo minutes life was extinct. The farm-house of Peter Hingin, near Waterloo, Neb., was the scene of a double murder and suicide, the perpetrator being the younger brother of Hingin, who set Are to the building as he lay dying. Lead ore in vast quantities has been discovered at Montfort, Wls. Eighteen lumber mills at Menomonee, Wls., are reported to have shut down tor the second time this season on account of the conduct of the men employed there. It is understood that if they remain closed the remainder of the season, which is probable, the fact will lessen the shipments of lumber by some sixty million feet, and parties in the trade say that such a diminution of the supply would probably cause an advance of SI to $2 per thousand in the price of lumber in the Chicago market. The most horrible murder that ever disgraced Woodbury County, lowa, occurred in West Fork Township. Says a Sioux City dispatch: James and John Johnson, brothers, lived together on a farm. John was married, and James is a single man about 28 years old. They had a houseraising, after which a keg of beer was tapped, Tbe two brothers quarreled, and James was ordered from the house. He went out on the prairie and remained until about 11 o'clock. He then returned to the house and found his brother John asleep in bed. Taking an old army rifle, he loaded it, placed the muzzle to Jonn’s head, and blew his brains out. Not satisfied with his fiendish work, be loaded his gun again and fired another charge into his brother’s head, scattering the brains and blood over the bed and walls of the room. The wife of the murdered man stood by and saw the crime, agreeing that it was the proper thing to do. She has not been arrested.

SOUTHERN.

A reign of terror exists in portions of Btenvillo Parish, Louisiana, resulting from a neighborhood feud pf several years’ standing. Two men have been dangerously wounded, and several others, both black and white, have been beaten nearly to death by masked men. It is reported thnt several of the miscreants have been arrested. Excitement has been caused in Louisville by the exposure of an alleged scheme, to which the Mayor and other municipal officers are said to be parties, to rush an ordinance through the Council giving a subsidy of $1,000,000 to the Louisville Southern Railroad, without submitting tho question to a popular vote or complying with the gene ra charter. Gen. William Howard Irvin, a veteran officer of two wars, has become hopelessly deranged, and has been placed in an asylum at Louisville. A - one-armed man, giving the name of Charles Bennington, broke a window in a jewelry store at Louisville, about midnight, and waited for a policeman, to whom he said that he desired a home in the penitentiary for a few years, having suffered sufficiently frem hunger.

WASHINGTON.

The Postmaster General has made a ruling to the effect that in cases where railroad companies carrying the mail are obliged to deliver it into and receive it from postofflees (which requirement applies to stations where the postoffice is within eighty rods of the stopping-place of the train) the employes carrying the mails between the station and office are not employes in the postal service, and need not be sworn in. The department, however, requires tho railroad company to employ for this purpose persons over the age of 16 years and of suitable intelligence and character, and postmasters are directed to report any violations of this requirement. Payment of tbe claim of the State of Colorado for one-half the cost of taking the semi-decennial census has been withheld by the first comptroller of the Treasury on the ground that the State is indebted to the United States in a larger amount on account of the direct tax of August 5, 1861. In auditing tho claim of Dakota Territory a deduction has been made on similar grounds. Over $600,000 has been pledged for tfie establishment of a Catholic university at Washington City, and the projectors expect to have $1,000,000 secured by Jan. 1.

For Clerk—Brenning, Republican, 9,039; Shields, Democrat, 9,202. The Prohibition voto was 147, and the Greenback 37. The Republicans have one majority in the Council, and the Board of Aldermen is a tie. At the charter election in Newark, N. J., Mayor Haynes, Democrat, was reelected by 353 majority. The Republicans carry all the other city offices, and elect nine out of fifteen Aldermen, the same number of School Commissioners, and eight out of fifteen chosen freeholders. The municipal election in Chattanooga, Tenn., was closely contested. The entire Republican ticket was elected by" a reduced majority. A special dispatch from Washington to the New Fork Times says: There is a rumor here that some of the Republican Senators have formed a sort of a combination to obtain complete, information concerning the removals and appointments which the President has made, with a view to intelligent action when the appointments come before the Senate for confirmation. As an instance of how this matter is being handled, it is reported that a discharged Treasury employe of some prominenoe has just returned from the West with the information that Senator Philetus Sawyer, of Wisconsin, is gathering the facts concerning the removal of Collector Jesse Spalding, and will take charge of the matter of the confirmation of Seeberger, Mr. Spalding’s successor, when it comes before tbe Senate. The employe in question is looked upon as an agent for the combination. Tlie Nebraska Republican State Convention met at Lincoln on the 14th inst. Amasa Cobb was renominated for the Supreme Bench. For Regents of the University, Leavitt Burnham and Charles H. Gere were nominated. Both now hold the same positions. The platform denounces the administration and the Democratic party, insists on a protective tariff, and refuses to submit the prohibition question. Complete returns from every county in Ohio give Foraker a plurality of 17,688 over Hoadly. The Nebraska Democratic State Convention convened at Lincoln Oct. 15. Frank Martin was nominated for Supreme Judge, and R. R. Livingstone and John F. Zolin for Regents of the State University. The platform demands the construction' of a navy ■ •‘fv

equal to any in the world, and a complete system of coast defenses; opposes the further coinage of sliver, and demands the exclusion of the Chinese. In relation to the Ohio election, a Cincinnati dispatch of Oct. 15 says: While there is no material change on the State ticket, there is more excitement over the Legislature than there was last fail over the doubtlnl returns on Cleveland and Blaine. Unofficial returns from about all tne State and estimates on the lew remain.ng precincts put Fotaker’s plurality at over la.ouo. It will be a little over W.ooo on the rest of the Republican State ticxit. The Democrats are claiming their entire Legislative t.ckec. and it will require the oficial count to settle it. The vote iu the two precincts of the Nineteenth Ward whose couritiug was not fin.shed last night has been Counted, and the re-ult on Governor in Hamilton County, with one country precinct missing, waichin issi gave 17 Republican majority, stands thus: Governor Hoadly, Democrat, ; Foraker, Republican, 33, 62; Leonard, Prohibition, 1,020; Hoadly s plurality, 3Jo.

MISCELLANEOUS.

A warning to Postmasters is contained in the following, which is sent out by wire from the national capital: Many Postmasters have come to grief through disregard of the postal regulation which requires Postmasters remitting surplus moneyorder funds to depositories in registered packages to be able, in every case, to prove by at least one disinterested witness that the money was actually inclosed in the proper registered package, properly addressed, locked in the mail, and dispatched. If the postmaster fails to comply with those requirements he is compelled to make good the money if it is lost or stolen. Many postmasters finding it inconvenient to have a witness of the funds have, in cases of loss or thefts, made claims tor credit which have been disallowed, the Postmaster General holding that the precautions above noted are necessary, not only to establish the fact that the money was actually remitted, but to secure proof necessary for the conviction of those persons charged with its theft. Since 1880 the assisted immigration scheme has cost Canada $1,500,000. The obsequies of Cardinal McCloskey in the grand cathedral at New York were of the most impressive character. Five thousand persons were admitted to the building, and the adjacent squares were blocked with carriages. The Papal Zouaves were in position about the catafalco. Two hundred priests and boys chanted the office of the dead, and a choir of one hundred voices chanted a requiem mass. Archbishop Corrigan celebrated pontifical mass, and Archbishop Gibbons preached the funeral sermon. The remains were deposited in the crypt beside those of Archbishop Hughes. Business failures throughout the country for the last week were 166, as compared with 29” for the week preceding, and 169 for the week before that. The more moderate movement of general merchandise ’ reported throughout the country to Bradstreet’s last week maintains the proportions then noted. The volume of business continues in excess of that reported at a corresponding period in 1881, though in some lines below that in October, 1883. Merchants in the larger business centers are inclined to consider the situation as satisfactory, and in some instances the future of the trade is ro-» garded as very hopeful. The child of Jean Baptiste Bomilly was killed by an eagle near Toronto, Canada. The National League and American Base Ball Associations adopted an agreement by which no player is to receive more than $2,000 for a season’s work. The people of Winnipeg have contributed $5,000 for a monument to the volunteers killed in the Iliei rebellion, to be placed in front of the City Hall.

OHIO.

The October Election Results in the Success of the Entire Republican Ticket. Tho election in Ohio on Tuesday, Oct--13, was for State and county officers, for 37 Senators, and 110 Representatives of the General Assembly, and upon four amendments to the constitution of the State changing elections from October to November, and one changing the term of office for Township Trustees. Gov. Hoadly was the Democratic candidate for re-elec'ion, J. B. Foraker the Republican candidate, and Rev. A. B. Leonard tho Prohibition candidate for Governor. The election resulted in the success of the entire Republican ticket, as follows: Governor, J. B. Foraker; Lieutenant Governor, Gen. Kennedy; Treasurer, J. C. Brown; Attorney General, J. H. Koehler; Judge of Supreme Court, T. A. Minshali. The Republicans have also secured a majority of the Legislature, which, insures the re-election of John Sherman to the United States Senate. The following returns, were sent out by telegraph on the - morning following the election; Cleveland.— The whole State Republican ticket is elected by from 16,000 to 18,000 majority. The Legislature will be Republican on joint ballot, with a good working majority in both houses. The vote was heavy, and Republicans on the Western Reserve came out in full force, every one feoling it a duty to do all in his power to bring the country back to Republican rule. This result will secure the election of a Republican United States Senator, and the early enactment of a law regulating the liquor traffic. Another very probable result of the election will be to eliminate third-party prohibition from Ohio politics. Columbus. — Returns come in more slowly than usua’, but there is unusual regularity in the ratio of Republican gains. With over four hundred of the precincts in, the Republican gains have run from 10 to 40 per precinct and averaged 17. At this rate the Republicans will overcome Hoadly’s plurality of 12,000 in 1883 and give Foraker a plurality of 16,000. With the Prohibition vote kept up at its present rate it will reach 24,000, and the largest Prohibition gains are reported in Democratic precincts. It is, however, to be considered that the Republicans, with the better organization. got out their votes in the cities, while in the country, where the feeling seemed most in their favor, the vote was not so fully drawn out. A cold rain fell all day, with no more than a half-hour’s cessation at any time. This did not seem to have helped the Democrats as heretofore. The Germans in all of the cities went strongly for the Republicans, and the colored men, to a considerable extent, pulled with the Democrats. Those figuring at Republican State headquarters claim 20,000’ for the head of their ticket, and no less than 15,000 for the rest of it. The reports from the close counties and districts are in favor of the Republican legislative ticket to the extent that they will have fully forty majority in the lower house and ten in the Senate, but this is estimated on partial returns, especially as to the State Senators. Of the thirty-seven Senators the Republicans claim twenty-one. Cincinnati.— At the close of this report returns had been received from 776 of the 2,017 voting precincts in the State, which gave Foraker (Republican) a total vote 148,972; Hoadly (Democrat), 132,197; Leonard (Prohibitionist), 9,913; net Republican gain. 12,924. The remaining precincts in 1883 gave a Democratic majority of 10,912. In the places heard from we have nothing from Cleveland and nothing from the heavy Democratic wards in Cincinnati.
