ILLINOIS. Two of Geneva’s Police Officers Found Murdered in tlie Street. Geneva. Aug. 28. —Avery mysterious doable murder committed about 12 o’clock last night, the victims being two of the three officers who constitute the police force of this town, rnu* 4 1 ' ” tho place, near the court-house, and some dozen shots were heard by tho residents in the neighborhood fired in quick succession, but no one leit bed to find out the causes of tho turmoil, audit was reserved for a party of merry-makers returning from a picnic at about 1 o’clock to find the bodies of the murdered men and raise the alarm. Officer McNatt was found dead, with a bullet-hole in the region of the heart, his revolver, with five of its chambers emptied, lying near him. McNatt lay at the southeast corner of the court house, and several rods away, on the sidewalk, was found Officer Grant, also with a bullet-bole in the breast, but on the right side. Ho was still breathing slightly, but was unconscious, and the last life sparks fast dying out. He was taken home, a few blocks distant, and died on the way. There is, as yet, no clew to the perpetrators of the crime, but it is surmised that both officers died in the discharge of their duty. There have been several attempted burglaries in the town of late, the last one occuring but a night or two before. It is supposed that last night tho officers discovered the burglars, either at work or leaving the scene of their unlawful activity, and that in attempting to arrest them, the officers, being separated, the fatal shots were fired by the thieves. Grant’s pistol was found by his side, four chambers being empty. Both murdered officers have excellent reputations. Both the deceased leave large families. The possibility that their death was due to a quarrel between themselves is precluded by the fact lhat they were pood friends, that they were seen late in the evening in amicable intercourse, and that their bodies were found quite a distance apart from each other.

De Silva, twenty-three years old, has been arrested at Jacksonville for passing counterfeit silver dollars on street-car conductors.

Bloomington & Western railroad, he* looked out of his cab and was struck on the back of the head by a mail c teller, knocking him insensible, and he is still unconscious. At Joliet, "William Galliger was stabbed three times in an altercation with Dominick Brennan, an old man Brennan had a large sum of money in his possession at the time, and as Galliger was the assailant it is thought that his intention was robbery. The wounds are not dangerous, and Galliger is under arrest. W. T. Jones, of Sullivan, who recently got into trouble by beating his wife, is now wanted bv Moultrie county officials, it is said, on the charge of kav mg stolen a team of horses from a Lovington liverystable. He hired a team to canvass for musical instruments, and failed to return it at the appointed time. * At Tolono on Thursday morning, between 1 and 2 o’clock, the Marion Hotel and Robert Cannon’s tdlliar.l hall were both set on fire within thirty minutes of each other. Both buildings had previously been saturated w ith coal oil, and the flames made rapid progress, but prompt action saved the property in a damaged condition and frustrated further attempts at incendiarism. Several attempts have been made of late to wreck trains on the < al&inine branch of tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. The obstructions, however. have been discovered by the engineers in time to prevent accident. '1 lie crime has been traced to three boys, Brennan, brothers and one Itooney, of Kendall,

the eldest boy being but sixteen years of age ind the youngest thirteen. The lads are now in custody of the sheriff. The Champaign county fair closed yesterday. It has been, perhaps, the most successful ever held in that part of the State. The exhibition was superior in every department.

The success of the fair has produced a fine impression throughout the county. A fire at the New Lenox camp-meeting grounds destroyed the following cottages: Dr. Mcßride’s. John Hewes’s, O. Morse and A. Greenwood’s double cottage, W. Smith’s. Mr. Hemphill’s, and the headquarters of the Mokena poojJe. and Rev. Newman’s cottage. The total loss is about $1,500, with no insurance.

Fall Meeting at Washington Park. CHICAGO, Aug. 28. —The prospect* for the fall meeting at, this place are more than flattering Notwithstanding the fact that many owners were disappointed by railroads in supply of cars at Saratoga, a few of the stables that were coming arrived here during the afternoon. With those that were already here and those that will arrive to-night, there will be over two hundred horses of a very equal quality, almost all fit to race at to-morrow’s opening. The Palmer House handicap will have twelve starters, and a first-class race is expected. The stake is worth about '£3 900. The purses have filled well, and the day’s sport will end with a hurdle race, one and a quarter mile, over five hurdles, to replace the steeple chnse which was on the programme, and which the officers did not think safe to run. in consequence of the heavy condition of the ground after the recent rains.

COMPLAINING TELEPHONE PATRONS. The Company Accused of Attempting to Take Unfair Advantages of Patrons. Within the last day or two several complaints have been made by telephono patrons to the managing committee which represented them during the recent troubles, about the company endeavoring to take unfair advantages. Onepatron, who took no part in the organized movement to resist the payment of the old rates, was asked by a representative of the company to pay in advance sls for three months’ use of his telephone. lie refused to comply with the demand, because he believed it to be unfair, and. as he stated to a Journal renorter, “an attempt to bulldozo him.” Yesterday he was presented with a contract, containing the agreement to refund if the decision of the Supreme Court should be adverse to the company, and this he signed. “1 understand,” Mr. It. O. Hawkins, of the patrons’committee, stated to a Journal reporter when asked if there had been any complaints, “that the company is claiming thatthe contracts which were made, in accordance with the old terms, before the new law went into force, con- ’** rmtiJL r - -**•* *bcv were made expires. Ail patrons who entered into new contracts, however, received notice from the company that these contracts, the same as others, would terminate on Juno 30. There are probably not a great many of these contracts, and even if the claim of the company is not contested, it will not make much difference; but if the new law is sustained, the patrons who signed* these contracts cannot be compelled to pay the old rates.” The company has changed the form of its receipts. The old statements were headed, “Instrument, Rental Bill,” and were for “rental of instruments and telephone exf-hange service.” The new ones read “Instrument Rental and Service Bill,” and are for “the rental of one magneto-telephone and one battery transmitter at the rate of S2O per annum. There is a second item for “labor and service charges for switching, construction and maintenance charges for lines, batteries, central office apparatus, magnets, bell and other appurtenances during the same time, at the rate of

To flee in a hack would cost $2 more. The preacher’s foe would be $3, and it would cost something to ride back home. Cawn’t do it, my dear. Everything must be in the regular way, even to your father tipping the clergyman.” “But Gawge, my dear, if I should furnish the boodle." “Oh—aw—but that alters the case, you know! Under those circumstances no true gentleman could refuse to elope with his affianced. Begin to practice rope-ladder gymnastics at once.” Experienced lumbermen have always held that timber cut in the sprieg was not a durable tor building purposes. Recent scientific investigations sustain this belief. It is shown that tht richer the wood is in phosphoric acid and potassium the more likely it is to rot and mold; wood cut iu the spring contains a much greater proportion of both these substances than when cut in winter.
