The sleepiEg-roem on the left of the entrance w S3 ccenpied by Thomaa, Richard and Charles Woolfolk, sons of Jlr. and Mrs. Woolfolk. The rear room on the left was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Woolfolk and tbeir youngest child, aged 18 months. A phaEtly sight confronted those who first entered the honse after the discovery of the crime. In the last room the father, mother ai d infant lay on the tame bed, each reeking with blood and brains of the other. The bodies were almost lying across each other, and tbeir position gye evidence of an agonizing death. Across the three corpes was blang tbatof the Oldest daughter, Pearl, a recent pr.dnate of "Weslyanulp, mal with her bead beaten to pFefind her neck and body mnuiaieu oj oiows from the anarp Diaae oi iu j w uu-jr, in the same mangled ttate, lay the body of the eldest brother. It was evident iZli rearl andrer brother had been awakened by criea during the butchering of their parents.snd Lad rushed into the; room i learn tbe cause to only share their fate. On the bed in the opposite roam lay the body of Mrs. West soaked in her own blood and her brains oozing from her head, which, like tbat ot the victims in the other room, was also crushed into a fchapclcss mass. On the satna bed lay the body of Annie Woolfolk, with her heai cle&ven in twain; by the window, on the floor, in an attitude of supplication, lay the bedy of Rosebud 'Wooiiolk, with the left side of the fsce and head no mangled as to make recognition almost impossible. Tbe bight eob de the strongest hearts sick; even tbe ceilirgs and walls were bespattered with blood and brain?, while bere and there pieces of flesh, which had been flnng from tbe uplifted axe, clUDg in the walls and wsinscoticg. The bedding was sotked with the crimson life-blood, and on the floor sickening pools had formed. The crowd stood aghast, apparently damfounded by the unparalleled horror of the scene. As soon as the ofiicials could collect their tenses cteps to investigate the crime were begun. T. G. Woolfolk, tbe only surviver of the family, was questioned closely, ard his replies were ot inch a nature that suspicion qn'ckly points to hira as being guilty of the crime. Woolfolk was immediately placed under arrest. He protested his Innocence, but viewed tbe blood bespattered bodies with such unnatural composure that tbe crowd wot soon infuriated and clamoring for bis life. The coroner and other otiicia's rallied around tbe prisoner and held the crowd at bay, at the same time urging tbat the man ne given a cbance to prove bis innocence if possible. These pleadings eventually impressed the throrg, and it was agreed to await the result of the coroner's inquest, provided it be held immediately. 1 he coroner accordingly impaDel'ed a jnry and proceeded with tbe investigation. Nothing positive as to Woolfolk's guilt was established, although a great deal of circumstantial evidence fastened the chain around him tighter and tighter. -, Laterand fuller details from the scene of tbe Woolfolk tragedy develop the fact that there were nine victims instead of eight as first reported. JtTJ ZZZZ Tbe coroner's jury found'la verdictof murder against Thomas u. wooiiois. son of the Captain's first wife, who was sleeping in tbe house. Tbe prisoner was brought to Macon and lodged in jail where he talked of the crime cooiy but made no admissions, ilia mo tlve is said to be the desire to gain posses sion cf his father's- property for himself and two sisters, children of the first wife. Ihe funeral of the nine victims of Thomas O. Woolfolk took place heretoday at Rose Hill cemetery in the presence of 3,000 people. The services were brought to an abrupt termination by the arrival of Mrs. Edwards, own sister ot tne murderer, who was In AthenB'at the time of the commission of the crime. Heart-rending criea followed, bringing tears to the eyes oi every spectator. Woolfolk was carried to Athens early this morning for aafe keep ing. He Btiii denies tu guilt,

The regular quarterly meeting of the State Board of Health was held in tne Secretary's office yesterday. All of the members were present. The report of the Laporte County health ofheers, who state that the sewer leading from the Northern Prison was so filthy that it ia causing a great deal of sickness among the people there was first considered. The beard promptly ordered the place condemned and authorized Secretary Metcalf to notify the Prison Directors to remedy the trouble at once. The report of Dr. Fritsch, of Evansville, who has been making a sanitary survey of several Counties was next received. He found a number of County jails and poarhouss in a disgraceful condition. In Lawrence and Daviess County he says the jails and pcorhomes are not adequate ta meet the demands of the inmates. He also found tbat in many counties no attempt was being made to educate the ccLdrenat the poor houses, and in consequence they were growing up worthless, when intelligent and law abiding citizens could be made cf them if a little attention were given to their mental training. Dr. Fritsch is of the opinion that the state superintendent and county school superintendents should take this matter In charge and see to it that a different state ot affairs exists hereafter. In Spencer County the children are obliged to room and sleep with older icm&tes of the poor house, many of whom aresfllicted witu loathsome diseases. At the Lawrence County poor farm the condition is very similar and in some rea poets worre. Here many of the male inmates are hired out to farmers at $1 75, and they are treated much like slaves. The poorbouse keeper, besides collecting the pay for their services, also collects from tbe County the regular pay for keeping them. At Hedford the jail was found to have unligbied cells, and adjoining them was a vault that gave forth sacn a stereo that tbe doctor could not stay there for even a moment. The Perry Cjuaty jiil is in bai condilion and poorly arranged, but on account of defaulting treasurers the caunty is too poor Vi build another, as its bonds are no: worth to exceed ten cents cn the dollfir. The Spencer County jail i3 tew and good, but the poor-Loura is una: for beatts. The petal and benevolent institutions of other counties were found to be in an unsatisfactory coudit-'on, bat not so bad as at the places mentkned. Dr. Tavlor leported the jiil and poK Loute of Vigo County tj bs in excellent thape, but the esme imtitations in Clay County arc over-crowded, poorly yen. ilated arit in a geDer.il bid con lit. on. The Board will p-oceed to take steps to condemn ail public build'ngs not kept in a reasonable healthf al condition. Atier cj;8irtrisg some routine business the Bjaid adjourned to meet on the call of the Secretary. BILL NYS AS A DUSLLIST. He Challenges a Rural rdltor In a TtuJy ihlrairou Way. New York World J The following copy of a letter has been handed to The World with a view to general publicity: Mr. Gtorge V, Tidd, Editor Craubcrry Palladium. Sir: My attention has just been cilled to 7a printed statement made over your own signature some time ago, in which you spoke in a light and flippant manner bf my hair. Tbe remark was caret ally worded, but calculated to cast obloquy.and reproach upon me in the eye3 of the pablic I have spoken to several friends in relation to it and they are of one opinion in the matter. They unite In saying that the term "Mexican hairless humorist" demands a challenge, to say nothing of the statement that "while on board a tram which was robbed in Nebraska" I succeeded in "ccrcealing my jewelry in my hair until the danger bad passed." For this, sir, I beg to state that my address is at No. 231 1 Rue de Bowery, opposite the Place dn Rahway Mysterie, and to ask ttat yoa will send me your own address, I forward this by the hand? cf slC-w; xaei seäger boy, h0 Will bring me your answer as soon as he gets thoroughly rested. I need not add that he is my friend end -wal act as my second, should you refuse to retract the statements referred to. You may also settle with him for this mes sage end your own. i win settle with you. I hone. sir. that you will excuse any thing that may seem coarse or brutal in this challenge, fori desire only to take your life without giving you any offense, and I want to be polite like other duel lists. May I ak, therefore, that at your eerliest convenience you will name a quiet place, as free from malaria as possible, where we may kill each other undisturbed. May I trouble you also, sir, to select two as dangerous weapons as possible, and als to bring with you the Burgeon who gaaeralJy sews you up at such times. The DeNjes have always been a hotblooded race ever sinco they left France, and they can none ot them brook an insult or bear to be tramped on. When I first read your stinging insult ia the paper I became delirious with passion, and although I am not related to ths Knickerbockers my breath came in short pants. The DcNyea arep!easant people to meet, but the man who infuriates one of them is liable to meander up tbe flume in an oblique manner. Pardon anything, sir, In this communication which may sjund harsh or clash with the smooth and scholarly style of assassination peculiar to the Code. I desire to meet you in mortal combat, but I want to do it in a polished way, and I desire to word this note so that it will read well in print, like other challenges. I have consulted several friends about the prospect of our meeting in a duel at no distant day, and all of them teefa to be highly gratified. It affords me great pleamre to note tbat I eo into this thing with the heatry endorsement and god speed of all, without distinction. II you would prefer to wait a few weeks, till the weather is cooler, so tbat you can lie in State longer, 1 will try to muzzle my wrath, but would advise you not to cross my trail in the meantime. My second will no doubt Inform you that I am an expert and deadly sword iman, and will try to convince you that it will be best not to name the sword. Do not be too proud to heed his advice. It may save your life and mine also. I hope you will not treat this challenge lightly, sir, and try atill further to heap ridicule upon an old and müde wed name by suggesting soft gloves or watermelons as weapons. Let na meet as gentlemen, sir fire and fall down, stagger to oar feet, lean heavily against a tree, mutter a lew words In a hoarse voice, gasp two times in rapid succession, put on our coats and go home. I feel almost certain, sir, that von will treat this note in a slighting and jaunty manner, but I beg that you will not do bo. For the sake of the Tidds, who were always a plain bat rather pleasant set of people, and for tbe sake of the De Nyes, whose only fault has been their fondness for fresh, hot blood, furnished by other Dirties: for the sake of all our ancestors. sir. let ma beg of you to assist in making this duel a success, IilfcJTflhssabrutel Ia ti wording cf

this challenge, sir, or ylolated the Cle, or misspelled any words, will you please have it correted befoie you tend it to the printer? I ask this favor of you in all sincerity and in as courteous a naannerjas.posaible. hoping that you will grant it promptly and tbat you will lose no opportunity to do all the good you can during the next few de vs. 1 have arranged all my earthly affairs with the exception of paying my poll-tix. I ha7e turned oü the gas-meter and am prepared for any accident, though the police have promised to come in and arrest us at any time we may agree upon. In closing, sir, allow me to express the hope that you will eureiy be at the duel, and tbat yon will briDg your dinner. My second will effer you the choice of weapons, with an opportonity of retraction. If you enter into life and its enjoyments with real zest, I would advise yon to avail yourself cf tbe opportunity to retract, for, although sir, I would be a great deal happier with your heart's blood, the retraction will do me just as well and you need not humiliate yourself in writing it. I do not ak you, sir, to groveL You can write a retraction which will not compromise you at all and yet one that will give ms much pleasure. In the meantime, sir, I shall remain at the above address, awaiting your decision, and wliatever it may be, sir, I beg to remain your most obedient antagonist and well-wisber, William De Nye, Formerly Duke of Sweetwater County and Eef eree during the Modoc War.

WEEKLY CROP SUMMARY. lamentable Co&dittou f Corn Wlater Wheat Tieldl Chicago, August 7. The following crop summary will appear in tnis week's issue of the Farmers' Heview: Our reports indicate that the corn crop has materially suffered throughout the West from the long continued drought Local rains have fallen In many localities since our reports reached us, but it is questionable whether the damage to the crop can be repaired even by general rains. The tropin many pms of the West ia in a most lamentable condition. Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota and Dakota have suffered less than the other States. The winter wheat yield in the different States, according to the reports of our correspondents, is as follows: Fifteen counties in Illinois, 18 2-5 bushels; Wisconsin counties, 11 2 5 bushels; Michigan connt?es, 14;i bushels; twelve Indiana counties, 14;S bushels; ten Ohio counties, 14 bushels; LaRue County, Kentucky, reports the yield at i per cent of an average; Webster County. 50 per cent, and the others reporting 10 bushels; eleven Missouri counties, 20 bushels, and eleven Kansas countieB, 10 bushels.

The French manifestations of sympathy have been treated with silent contempt, excepting the infamous insinuations of a portion of the French press that KatkoS's illness was hastened toward a fatal ter mination by poison. The papers ignore the published results of the autopsy, showing that death was due to cancerous frowths in the stomach and lungs, he French papers published bogus dispatches, alleging that the liusr.an editor's illness arose' from poison administered a long time ago by German agents. The Post to night expresses its disgust at this journalistic baseness, and says that a large number of French newspapers in commenting on M. Katkoff's death made imputations, representing the leaders of the German policy as professional poisoners and murderers. Not one voice, the Post says, has been raised in the whole of France to protest sgainst the moral deprevaty their aspersions betray. This bears testimony to the terrorism exercised by the anti-German party, the extent acd nature of which cannot long be overlooked by the German government. The tone of tbe Post only mildly indicates the tension of the relations with France. The bitternets of popular feeline ia aggravated under fmh instances of German baiting. The last of this kind, which is especially exciting anger, is the closing of a factory for the manufacture of German toys, belongirg to the brothers Wembach and situate! at Embermine In the Department of Moselle. Tbe factory was closed by order of Prefect Schnerb, who played a prominent part in the Schneeble affair. The workmen were given only three days' notice of their expulsion. It is reported that the delay in Prince Bismarck's departure for Kissingen is due solely to the gravity of the situation with France. The chancellor is makiog tbe Weissbach affair the subject of diplomatic communications, tending to bring French provocations to a critical stage. Tbe Paris advices blaming the German government for similar action in expelling French railway officials employed at Avertconrt station misrepresent the facts. Those men while employed at a French Btation, live on the German side of the frontier, thus eluding social duties for personal purposes. The authorities ordered them to reside within their own frontier, and gave the married men three months and the single men one month to leave. Death of the Postmaster of Wabash. Wabash, August 0. Special. --Late last night, Thomas J. Seamans, postmaster of this city, died at his home, here, of bowel complaint. Mr. Seamans was fiftysine yearj old, and was one of the pioneers of this county, having been a farmer until 1885, when he secured the appointment of postmaster. He was a Democratic politician of considerable local prominence. Mr. Seamans was born in Preble County, Ohio. Gibson's Escape from Honolulu. Tokt Tow send, W. T., ; August 6. Ad ditional advices by the bark Colusa, from Honolulu, July 13, say that ex-Premier Gibson escaped, July 13. on the bark John G. Spreckels, On that date he was acquitted of having defrauded the Government. Tbe bark Spreckels was lying near the wharf with every thing ready to set sail. A carriage, which was waiting at the rear door of th couit-rogin, conveyed Gibaga

without a moment's delay to the vessel, which catt off lines and hraded for San Francisco. It required less than twenty minutes for Gibson to leave the court-room at d get cn board the Spreckels. Hazelton, Gibcon's son-in-law, is still in jail awaiting trial for being an accessory of Gitnon, Business has been resumed.

They are not a race, like the Devons; they are not even a breed, like the shorthorns; they have, in truth, scarcely risen out of mongrelhood, and though there are among them some wonderfully good milkers, and a good many more that much excel tbe average of common cows, they are almoet as uneven and uncertain as the latter are, now that they are so careful'y bred, and better fed so long by good farmers. Their comparative inferiorty for the butter dairy, and their s ort teats, which are absolutely held to by breeders as essential concomitants of a square udder, add to their unpopularity. The "Exposition Universelle de Part Culinaire" awarded the highest honors to Angostura Bitters as the most efficacious i timul en t to excite the appetite and to keep the digestive organs in good order. Ask for tbe genuine article, manufactured by Dr. J. G. ß. Siegert it Sons, and beware of imitations. Advice to Mothers. Sirs. Winslow's Soothing Symp should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little suflcfer at once; it produces tatural, qaict sleep oy relieving ths chill frja pain, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." It ii very pleasant to t.s:e. It soothes the child, sofu-ns tae kudu, alleys all pain, relieves wind, re.mlatis th3 bowels, aad Is the best known remedy for dUrrhe, waetnor arising from teething or otaer cause. Twentynve cents a bottle. Heroes and Heroines. There are few who endure bodily troubles without complaint. Did you ever meet among the heroes or heroines of your acquaintance if any such there have been one with a yellowish cast of countenance and that jiuadlccd aspect generally, which th most uupracticed eje recognizes as the prodct of a disordered liver, who did not complain, and peevishly too. cf the soreness of tbs recalcitrant organ, of pains beneii'h the right shoulder blade, of dys peptic symptom?, constipation and hearkche of course you never did, and of course the iodividual was not using Hostetter's Stomach Bitttrf, or he would not to have looked so have complained. To purify the blood when roDtaminted with bile, aad conduct the secretion into Its proper channel, to le-establish regularity of the bowels, banish bilious headache and remove irapedimeata to complete digfstion nothin? can apnromh in efficacy this peerless alterative and tonic. Ma"arial complaints, always involving the liver and kidney and bladder inactivity, ara remedied by it It is a capital appetizer. A KOST IIISKA1 OFFJEB, Th! Voltaic Belt Co..
