A TERHIBLE DEED.

Johnson Coontj Farmer Murdered in CoM IIlooJ, Within Call of His Daughter's Voice Robbery No Doubt the Objact. Tuil Elstory of ' the Fearful Crlia tttat Horrifies tlie People of the County. Ia Clark Township, Johnson County, eight miles northeast o! Fnniün, Etanda a quaint, Old-fashioned, one-etory brick house, with tiro front doors, protected by a narrow porch ranninj the entire length of the front of the dorricite. Everything about the farm house bears an air of comfort and convenience, without th&t ostentation which is noticed in the con traction of more modern residences. The firroandings give evidence of thrift and careful husbandry on the part of the omer. Fifty yards from the house stands a welltilled barn, while the etotk upon the farm embraces a large number of horses and cattle all of the be3t breeds showing by their condition that they are the property of one who takes pride as well as receives profit from their culture. Thirty-five years ago the farm iiouae was erected by Taylor Ballard, a man wli9 developed many excentricities of character, but who was universally respected t7 his neighbors for his moral "Worth and the uniform promptness and correctness cf his business habits. The meet marked excentrieity cf character was that found in hi? refusal to place confidence in banks, and the consquence was that his house became the repository of his money, and nal'y led to his death at the iiazdsof an unknown assassin, all the attendant circumstances indicating that robbery was the impelling cause. bTurday's Sentinel contained a brief dispatch regarding the assassination of ilr. Ballard, but a reporter's Curiosity and n desire to give a fall account Of the terrible tragedy lead him to the scene that eTeaiag. He fosnJ th9 community in a state of excitement that is witnessed only upon occasions calculated to excite the greatest indignation, and call forth at tu came time feelings of sympathy for the bereaved. From relatives of the deceased and others, who weie upon the scne Immeliattly after its occurrence, the following facts were gleaned: On the 26th of March last the wife of Mr. E Hard, then about 71) years of age, comTwitted suicide by d rowing in the cistern whil temporarily insane. Since that time 3Jr. Eal'.ard has been living comparatively ilore, with the exception of a farm bands lamily, who was with iiira till a couple of weeks ago, whtn a disagreement arose between ; Mr. Ballard and his band, and the latter j moved to the Ticiuity of Boggstown, about lour miles distant. The relatives of Mr. 1 Ballard, knowing his disposition to keep iare Bums cf money about the place, often chiced him, and predicted that ha would be robted. it not murdered, for h:a money. He ir plied that te was prepared for soch an meigency, and, indeed, was always armed with a revolver. About o'clock Monday evening, while ceatrd in the frcnt room cf his noose; a large store was thrown through the window, and pasting within an inch of Ballard's head, . ' 1 l L - . . 'nrCK a uoor opposite wita great iorce. a search of the premises failed to reveal anjtaiuj, tut both he and hia chil!rm regarded it as an attempt to assassinate him. Thursday even in cr, hie -daughter, Mrs. Cut3ineer,J yisited her brother, accompanied by Mary Cafe Laser, her second daughter. At t o'c'ock they started to return home, and in doing so were compelled to pass by Mr. Ballard a residence. It was raining very h ird, and when Mrs. Cutsinger and daughter got within forty yards of the barn they notice! the loor stan ling open and at the same time beaid a couple of doll eounde which they supposed to be the falling af a board, but which they are now aati-fied were two pistol shots fixed in rapid sic ession . Passlog up to the door. Miss Ca singer called to ner grandfather, but no answer was returned. At her mother's so; ,yeition she entered the driveway, but returned, saying that she was afraid to go lujtheroa account of the darkness. The io then went to the house, but failing to find Mr. Ballard they became e iTsif d and hurried home, which was bat a eh -it distance away. Arriving there a eon of Mr. Cutsinger and grandson of Mr. Billard went to the house of the latter, and Severins a light, tojelner with another rrrandsoi made an examination of tha birn. Passing through the driveway and toramg around the corner of a crib which is icside of the barn, the young men were horrified to find their grandfather lying prostrate upon the oor with a bLllet ho!8 immediately above the right eye. This was 5 o'c lock in the evening and the body was still warm, show ing that the act Lad been com tutted but a short time before. An examination of the tody proved that two woucda hadbetn -inflicted, the Srst ball striking tne point of the right shoulder blade, ranging up and .'ociins oat oa to? of the should r and lodging in the lining of the vest. The socond call penetrated the train just above the right eyebrow, passed throusb, fracturing the oka 11 at a point where the pareital aad occipital bones are united. were turned inside out, and a revolver, with two chambers empty, lay about two leet from his side. The plstcl proved to be the one belonging to Mr. Mallard himself, and for this reason it waa at first supposed that Iiis death u the result of suicide. A rioter ezaminat.on. however, ehowed that there was lint from his pocket in the muzzle of his pistol, and that the two empty chambers had not been recently discharged. Jt WDB also evident that the wound in the lou der could cot hare been self-inflicted. there can be no ' doubt that Mr. 23allri was the victim of a cold blooded asMtin, who ws3 actuated by the hopa of obtain'ng the large sum of money wbica the deceased was known to crry about his per on, ana it is also clear that tbe person committing the deed vras fac.iii.r with the habite cf his victim. Until Saturday evening it was thought the assassin had ßecured a large eum of money, but this proves cot to have been true, as a bar containing 1 1,225 was found auder a bench ca the front porch of the Louie. The Rv:k or bag containing this money is made of heavy bei-ticking, and is one that the deoeasel has carried for eeveral yeara. It ia possible that if the ieed had been committed at any other time thi3 amount of rr.onef , or reihape itore, jeould hive rewarded the ü'sassin, for cf th many who anew Iiwllard well and to whom the reporter talked yesterday, neue remembered over to have seen him either at home or abroad vith less than fl.CM) or ?1,.J0 in his pocket. In addition to this sum there is .ioubt!s a large amount of gold buried at oilfereU places on his premises, but this is ;niy a matter of conjecture ana knoarn certairJy to nore. fp.paiing of the deceased, Eatnrday svenfnt?. gentleman who knew him well re.atedjci irr;?nt indicative of his bib'M se'tfwA'.cz Tacr.ey Mallard d -jired to pur-

chafe a piece of land from a neighbor, and while In the harvest field one day driving a reaper, the gentleman came to him and offend to sell the land provided he oould get $1.300 of the purchase money immediately. Ballard invited the gentleman to wait till he ''drove round," and when he returned, having thought over the proposition, be stepped to the fence, took down his ccit, ted from oca of the jackets produced a laree roll of bills and paid the requirei f l.aoO then and there. This amount of mcney was in his coat pocket while he was at distant parts of the field, and the fact that he carried it was known to many. Another gentleman eaid that he ooce went to Mallard to ak a subscription to ail in buildine a church in the neighborhood. lie gave $200 and loaned 1,000 without interest. Eepavmentof the money was offered ty check, but he replied, "I did not lend that kind of money, and won't take it " The parties were compelled to go to the bank, draw the money and pay it to nim. It was in this vicinity that Hogarty, Ed Btugh and another "man whose name can not now be recalled, tied and robbed Patrick Dean last summer, and this incident should have been sufficient to warn Mr. Bo'. lard of the daneer of keeping laree rums of money about his house. Thou2h in his eighty-second year, Ballard was ex ceedinely egi'.e and had great confidence in his ability to defend his person and property. The murderer, however, was secreted in the bam, where it was very dark, and took the old gentleman entireiy unawares. The ret shot was no doubt fired from behind, and as Ballard turned upon his astaüant the eecond and fatal shot was fired. The deceased owned 400 acres of land, worth, no doubt, ?'J0.000. His farm was well stocked, and he had a large amount of grain, which it was his custom to board up tor a favorable market. The funeral took place at 1 o'clock Saturday, the deceased being interred in the graveyard adjoining the church which his libeia.ity had helped to build. Almoet the entire township was present, and upon the faces of many could be Been a determination that bodes no good to the assassin if his identity is discovered. Drs. Hall &, Hall and Coroner Thompson held a post mortem Saturday, and evidence wiil be taken in the caee to-day.

Lila N. Cusuman. A writer in London Truth maintains that there is not really a clever man among all toe crowned beads in Europe or their families. The king of Spain, he declares, stopped all his intellectaal growth when he became a king. The Austrian archdukes have elesaat tastes but no ability. The King of Italy bus nothing beyond occasional spurts of ne feeling, aid in the royal house of Saxony, Sweden, Holland, Belgum aad Bavari, there is nothiDe above a second-rate dilettante The brother of the empress of Austria, who is an aculiat is no exception, for though he has astonishing dexterity and firmness of band, and a good memory, he is only a eeeker after pathological curiosities, and is completely at sea on a new case. The rest of the family, like the empress herself, grew up amid horses, and she learned to speak English from her stablemen. A Eondon journal eeldom takes notice of any current local event unless in eome way it is related to the general interests of the community or to the latger Interests of the cation or the world. And under no circumstances does a reputable London or provincial paper refer to individuals unless they are in some wise in public life. The personal, domestic and business a Hairs of the individual are never traversed or discussed in the daily preea, and even the society journals of England make reference in their columns to individuals, only when they are either distinguished or notorious. When both parents have eye3 of the tame color, eighty-eight per cent, of the children follow their parents in this feature, and of the twelve per cent, born with eyes of other than the parental color a part must be attributed to intermittent heredity. More females than males have black cr brown eyea in the proportion of forty-nine to forty-five.

WASHINGTON. A ISudget of Ciossip From th National Capital

All A boat Autographs Th Demand for Li1tBgaia!iel 'amea - The liutit oa the President fr Hin Na mouther Autographs. V.TAsni.voiojrf Jan. 1G The autograph hunters are hard at worx agais. It is a curiots place, is Washington. Everybody who comes Lere muse carry away, he thinks, something with him to remind him of his yisit and to show his friends 'i-.;ue has rubbed against greatness sorp-f-vuere. If he can get a chip of the Waahicg-u monument ha is content, or if he does not get this he sets about secTins somebody's autograph. In this he is kuite successful, for scarcely anybody iu political lifo wil! refase his autograph to any respectab e looking person except at the bottom of a check or ofüci&l decument of some sort Ofcoune the greatest demaad ia for the actogiaph of the President. Letters come from every direction everyday asking his autograph. They are sifted out of the general correspondence by the Private Secretary, who attends to the reception, opening and arranging cf his mail, and thrown aside in a heap, each marked o n the envelope "Auto," to indicate that it is a request for an autograph. When the day's mails have been worked over thsso letters, which are sometimes a dozen or twenty in a day, are laid aside and opportunity awaited to present them to the President for his signature. They are usually placed in the hands of Charley Loe.T.er, the President's usher, who watches opportunity when the Tre3ident is not engaged or tired, and obtains the coveted autograDbs sometimes the aa'egraph i3 alfied to the letter requesting it. but usually it is written, or rather eorawed, on a card, which the experienced Charley hea ready, waiting the moment when he may catch the President with sutrciont leisure for this wort. Often a hundred or two of these requests wii! accumulate before the President gets time to attend to thetn; eoruetimes thev will even run higher than that, and often his hand gets tired with the monotonous scrawl of "Chester A. Arthur," ' Chester A. Arthur," which he has atUxed in an oriicial way perhaps hundreds of times during the day. It must not be suppsoed, however, that the Presidentsigus everything that bears his name or even that which appears to bear his "autograph." There are probably many people in this country, especially in the West, who are fondly supposing that they have tha President's own signature, written by his own hand, elmply because the name as signed to some cScial document look like Mr. Arthur's own eignature. It would be be a physical impassibility for him to sign all the documents required to bear his name, and at tbo fame time attend to the more important duties of his ofllce. The said warrants alone, for instance, are so numerous as to take constant signing of the President's tame for several hours every day. So there are certain clerks whose duties are eimoly to eign the President's name fcr him. And they fall into a way of making the signature like his. But this does not apply to the question of autographs. Those are regarded as not the sort that may be delegated to others. It is at the Capitol, however, that the autograph collector is in his glory. There are great men to be met at every turn, and autographs may be had far the asking. The customary method of obtaining them ia through the services of the pages in the House and Senate. These little fellows are bright and quite ready for the opportunity to make a few dollars by this process. "We get from $ to f 10 or L3 for getting an album filled in the House," said one of the pages of that body, who, by the way, is the grandson cf a noted member of the Confederate Cabinet. 'The Senate pages get about the same for getting the autographs of the members over there. If an album is to have the autographs of the President, Cabinet oSicers, Supreme Court Justices, Senators aud Representatives complete, we usually get for getting it filled. How do we get them? Go to the members when they are in their seats and ask them for their autographs. Thsy seldom refuse. Eome times, if they are busy, they won't do it. but a fellow with tact won't fro to a member when he sees that he is busy. There are sose who don't like It much There's Mr. Belmont, for instance; he doosn't fancy it very much, but he usually signs, though. Then when we get tho House we get some page in the Senate to get the Senators' names, and then cet the ndlng paee or eome gocd-natured member to set the Presidents and Cablret o&ccra' signatures for u.a." They axe a curioua study, thece albums, after they have been passed around and filled with signatures from the White House down. Some of them are not only passed, but repassed and passed again, until they contain the autographs cf two or three gen oration of statesmen. It seems when one gets this disease he never recovers from it, and whenever there cornea in a new lot of statesmen the old album is brought to the surface and trotted arourd for more sign manuals. So it sometimes happens that one of these albums has the autographs of two or more Presidents, of a dozen or eo Cabinet ofiicers, of a hundred Senators and ez-öen-ators, and of perhaps 500 members and exmembers cf the House. The perusal of one of thece well tilled books is really interesting. If n man's autograph is a key to his character. &i is eomtlmes claimed, then some statesmen must have very crooked Charten -a. if bad penmanship is a sign of great net 3. then it is in evidence that we bave many great men, for they are, many of them, painfully bad. A few are "artistically" bad, evidently written badly with malice aforethought, but the majority that are readable seem to be eo because the writer csn't do any better, or else hasn't time to. Take the signatures of those two great tariff agitatora, lor instance, Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Morrison, of Illinois. They really look as if the writers couldn't do any better. They look like the signatures of men who had been accustomed to ho. ding the plow, rather than wrestling with problems of statesmanship. And those of other tariff men are not nuch better. Mr. Carlisle, for instance, signs "J. G. Carlisle, Covington, Kv.," in a hand that reminds you of that in wh'ch your butcher bills are made out. Hurd writes a fair hand, and K.Tdatl signs "ham. J. Randal i" li a e'ear, rru, burinf es-like hand thatisapieainre to read. Miils. of Texas, writes as he taks when on ehe tariff question very ' loud" hia tiguature looking as though it hod bet u written with a wooden toothpick, eDd covering nearly half apaeof the ai bum. Hewitt' k hand is as unsteady as his sleep, and his ricrfcatr.re is anj thin; but pretty or fctropg.

It is like "copy-plate " There are some surprises in the matter of f igratures. Peed, of Maine, who is big and fat and not more particular in personal appearance than many others about hitn, writes the pretiest little feminine hand imaginable, while litü Sammy Cox, whose psme aud initials are but live letters, soreads them over twice the space that Mr. Reed's ram a occupies.

A Tenneee member wrote, "The dear little pages, daily in hunt of autographs, will, I fear, soon become troublesome. Yours truly, Wm. Ii. Moore." Mr. Moore ia no longer troubled by autograph hunters, having been retired from Congress eome time since. One rural member in his first session, supposing the albems belonged to tho boys themselves, wrote "A good boy will maie a good man," and other Ben Franklinisms, until he got a hint in some way, aad shut down on the sentiment.

John Mcltrtde Benies the Destruction of Property and Loss of Life Was Caused by the Strikers. Colümtos, O., Jan. i. Reports from the Hocking Valley this evening are that everything is quiet, though there is a general feeling of fear that trouble may occur at any moment. Governor lloadly has sent Assistant Adjutant General Dill and Mine Inspector Bancroft into the Valley to make an investigation and report to him the true situation. They are now making a tour of the mining towns. A number of the striking miners who have been seen, claim they have received no notice to join the military companies, such as was waa posted at Shawnee last evening. Weedy, of the Hocking Company, offered a bill in the lower branch of the Legislature this afternoon, makiDg it a penal odense to intimidate any person who enters the employ of others engaged in a lezal business. The bill was referred. It specially alleged intimidation of foreign labor in the Hocking Valley. The afternoon was taken en in the discussion of a motion to rejeet the bill as an insult to the organized labor of the country. The Hocking Valley situation was discussed at great length pending the motion, among the speakers being John McBride, President of the Ohio Miners' Union, and also a member of the Legislature. He gave a running history ef the strike and defended the Uoion, denying the charges that the orgsnization was responsible for the destruction of life and property in the valley. The bill was admitted by a vote of VI to 1?, and will go through the regular course. A Farmer Near Red Key, Indiana, Murdered and Ilobbed. Mcncie, Ind., Jan. 15.

jIEN OF THE HOUR.

CAPTAIN THOMAS PHELAX, OP JTAKSaS CITY, HACCEI 5EAr.LV TO r-EAtn BT AN ALLEGID DYWAMITKK IS o'rosovAK t.ossa's office. Particulars of the attempted assassination of Captain Thomas Phelan. of Kansas City, by a ni8n giying his came ai Eichard Short, and his residence New York, in the office of ODonovan Eossa, in tnat city, have been fully reported in this journal. The latest accounts show that Phelan is rapidly recovering from the injuries he received, and the probability that sensational matter will be elicited in th9 triil of Short. This person lies in the Toomb3, the city prison of New York, and stubbornly refuses to communicate with the press. 0! Donovan Kossa also keeps his lips j clc?ed against reporters. Captain Thelan promises to anticipate the expected revelations of the trial by the publication of an accoant of r.OEsa's doings, which, it is said, will drive this notorious person out of the dynamite business. He says that he has documents In his possession which will clear him cf all suspicion of double dealing, and at the earns time expose Hossa and his associates. Captain Phelan has long been Identified w5th the men who are conspiring to liberate Ireland from ita connection with the Uritish Empire. He is an Irishman by birth, having been born in the County Tipperary, December 23, 1S3C. As an inmate of a prominent Irish family named De la I'ouer, he received a good education. In his twenty-second year he sailed for the New "World, and, after spending a few months East, went to Missouri, in which State he has ever since resided, with the exception of three years spent in Washington. Early in his life in Missouri he received a pistol wound of which ne still bears traces, from a man with whom he had a quarrel and who shot him in the left hand. This misfortune did not interfere, however, with his eligibility to serve his adopted country and he was enlisted in the Union Army at the beginning of the war. His first position of any prominence was recuiting sergeant in Kansas City. Afterward, in active service, he proved to be a brave and capable soldier, and rose to the rank of Captain. DuriDg most of this time he was in the command of General Logan. He was married at Independence, Mo., in tbe year IP A. Seven children have been born to the couple, of whom four are living. The eldest, a daughter, is now with her motber assisting in the care of the father and husband, who lies at the New York Hospital. Captain Phelan was elected Iiegister of Jackson County, Missouri, in 1SS0. Two years later he was elected Criminal Clerk of the same county. Haying served out his term in this capacity, he traveled with another expert, showing his skill in shooting. His employments in Washington were hrst as a corkeeper in the House of representatives, and then as Lieutenant of tha Capitol police. He afterwards returned to Kansas City with his family and began an ice busicete. In the spring of 18S4 he was made Superintendent of the Workhouse, & position of which he is still the inenmbent. Nothing woe supposed oi his connection with the most pronounced Irish conspirators until after he suddenly left Kansas City in April, 1SS3. "When in August af the pame year news was received that James Carey, informer in the Pb.r nix Park, Dublin, murder cases, had been assassinated, Pbelan was widely supposed to be the O'Connellwho had shot him. This proved to be a mistake, but brought Phelan into great prominence aa an Irish leader, the fact that fie was so being no longer concealed. It appeared after his return that his business in Europe was to procure in formation which would prevent extradition of P.J. Sheridan. He is said to have procured evidence that Sheridan waa in Paris at the time of the murders in 1'ho nix l'ark, and to have secured two witnesses who would prove this in case the British Government persisted in its demand for the extradition of Sheridan. The demand was withdrawn, and Phelan s services s stated were consequently not required. No authentic fn formation has been made public, as yet, as to how far Captain Phelan was made privy to the designs of the dynamiters. A few days after he had given information to a Kan;::s City paper respecting an alleged attempt to blow up the "British Queen" steamer, he went to New York, as it is thought, to dear up any difficulty which might have arisen with 0'Donovan Possa and his fellow conspirators, in consequence of this publication. Whi'e in the oiUce of the United Irishmen, that attempt on his life was made which has given him worldwide notoriety. THE INAUGURATION.

Washington, Jan. 14. -Altogether about 100 men are steadily employed here in making the preliminary arrangements for the inauguration. They are looking after quarters, board, tickets, printing, parad93, money, etc A month from now the force will probably bo doubled. This is, of course, exclusive of the large force of men numbering, maybe, "00 or 300 at work upon the building where the ball will be held. The citizens here who have observed the inaugurations for two ecore of years say the grandeur of this one will surely eclipse all others ever held in points of attendance and the splendor of the procession. Care and expense will neither be spared for the occasion, l ew people have any idea of the enormity of the 1 abor. 1 1 is almost aa vast as an international exposition large in its proportions as several State fairs. But a email proportion of the several hundred thovis&rd people who expect to come make their own arrangements lor accommodations.
