LEffTsniLE, Dec SI. ?p3ciaL The particulars of tue recent traely at Strawns have never been published. TllE Se.nTIXEL correspondent drove over there to-day and learned the full detail of the killing of Miss Allison ty Llias Haskett and afterward himself. SMr.twns is a small village on the C, Ht. I- & P. railroad. The double traeedy occurred Friday nisht. Elias Haskett, who has been keeping company with Miss Lila Allison and had become desperately in love with her. called on her at Mr. E. K. Colburn's, when she was making her home. Calling Ler to the door, he requested her to accompany him to a party. She informed him that she could not possibly go with him. Ho nred, and she finally told him she would not po. He then pulled a 3'2-caIiber revolver from his pocket end shot her through the left temple, causing iiistaut death. Seeing that he had killed his victim, he walked some fifteen feet away, and placing the weapon to his ri-jht temple tired, producing a wound from which he died in about two hours. That the murder was premeditated Is shown by a note he left in his pocket, Rivimr the.amount of his indebtedness. He also left a cote requesting to be buried in th clothes be wore when he killed himself; aIo, that Miss Allison might be buried by his title. He turned over some notes he held to James Smith, which he wished him to take care cL Ilaikeit, who was twenty-eight years old, was considered a very proper man and was wtll liked. lie was buried Sunday. Haskett leaves a father, mother aud brother to mourn his untimely fate. His victim, Miss Allison, was sixteen years of asre, a very pretty girl nnd most highly respected by all. lhe leaves father, mother, sisters and brothers, and numerous others to mourn the departed spirit of the noble and generous girJ. Funeral services were conducted Monday. To eay that the little viüaze is "ail torn up" is putting it .very tnikily. This is their first trial of this kind. All S'.rawns is in mourning. "Worse Than White Caps. Leavenworth, Dec. 27. Special. As already published, the White Cap trials have been postponed until March 2i. When the cases were called in the Crawford circuit court Charles L. Jewett of New Albany, one of the attorneys for the defense, oiJered an aflidavit, k'ned by all the indicted men, affirming that they could not receive justice betöre Judge "William I. Zener. They asked that the cases go before another judge. Since this action on the part oi a defendant is all that is required to gwear a judge oti" the bench, there was nothing lor iitrict Ju Jge Zecer to do but pet the cases for the next term of court, when he will have n:'.med some judge from whatever portion of tiie state he pfea.-es to succeed him, or the attorneys on both sides shr.ll have selected a lawyer oi god standiug to try the case. The action of the defense in swearing Judge Zener oft the bench was not a surprise. Some subterfuge to delay trial was expected. Nevertheless it ms not regarded pleasantly; in fact, there was wnii!en 'de disgust and anger expressed. It is v-'-iy evident that the best people, and the great majority of them, are not in sympathy wha the White Caps. If the eicht men who answered the indictments represent the brain and brawn of the White Cups, "then that organizcrion is a very measly atiair. Bill Gretrory, who is recognized as the leader, is at his home near by, sneering from four ballet wounds at the hands of a man who had befriended him and wh'm he had repaid by ruining his yeng daughter. Two others of the gang are fugitives from justice. These last are Ilube Kobinson ami Fioy .Morgan, and those who were here for trial fire D.ivid Vert, Charles Myler, r., Charles Morgan, James Lynch, Louis Jooe, John C.

The White Caps Trial. Waynetown, Pee. :-. Special. Another tonn of White Capism, as a result of republican intolerance, is being practiced here. Smne time ago an attempt was made to blackmail a prominent merchant of this place, through the Masonic lodge, by a member in g.od (standing in ?d11us!0r with outsiders, but the attempt failed. On election day bloodshed was only prevented by the prompt action of the deputy L". S. niarfoh! an 1 the veakening of the leader of the ruo!. Having failed in two attempts at lawlessness the kn-kluxers, with the leader of the icol, lust week carrifd iuto etlect a plau whereby they expected to ruin, financially, the nn e merchant who had beeu blackmailed in the Masonic lode. At tirst the plan seemed to wi-rk and a small creditor came with an attachment to close up his business, but a number of 1--mer came to the rescue. For the third tm, the plot to ruin this merchant has been defeated. Some of the gang have been so indiscreet as to make the statement that the merriant would be closed out and that one of their Dumlx-r (a noted rone) would be put in bargt, of bis effects. The foundation is laid for a sensation that will rival the White Cap r-utrages of the stale. Whether the plot is ron- ummated depends npon the ability of the leaders to cover up their tracks. One of the rung confessed to a fraudulent judgment to beat this tame merchant out of .',70". In the Interest of Lahor. Fokt Wayxe, Pec. 31. rSpecial.

It is not known whether the Pendleton company will accede to the proposition. The fact that this is the only factory that Pendleton has secured, and th it it 13 now about to be swallowed up by the window-glass pool that is now forming, gives to that republican stronghold, which voted almost solidly for "Ben and the trnsts," a striking example of the beneficent results of a policy which it voted to continue.

Dent, a prominent saloon-keeper at Decatur, near the Ohio state line, tired of his wife's company and went Eweet-henrticg to his sister-in-law, Sophia Benip, who lives in Wilshire, O.

It was at once secured, and removing the lid the jar was found to be filled with silver coin. The money was of Spanish mint and its date of eoinaee was more than two hundred years old.

There is no reason to suspect foul play, for the watch and money belonging to the young mau are feaic at home. The idea of suicide is rejected by all, as there can be no reason assigned. Temporary insanity has been suggested, and, under the circumstances, is probably the most rersonable. If this be the cause of the mystery, vigorous efforts should be made to 6ecure his return to bis friends. Iixposure to the inclemency of wintry weather will soon put an end to his existence.

Absolutely no nows of a character to affect prices was received during the day, but London came higher this rooming and was a purchaser of s few KtvK-k at the openirjg, which induced some covering of shorts, and, with tho limited offerings, this was sufficient to give a strong tone to the market what there was of it.
