MORE MURDER!
ANOTHER MAN SHOT DOWN THE VICTIM IN HIS GRAVE AND THE MURDERER IN JAIL.
At nine o'clock last Saturday evening, Eleaxer Gibson, formerly of the police force, put a pistol ball through the head of Wtt Hall, who is described as a bright-eyed, good-natured Englishman, who came here from the East, in October last.
Hall kept a saloon on Ohio street, between Fourth and Fifth streets, and was peculiar in this, that he was in the habit of closing up on Sunday and at about nine o'clock each evening and going home to his wife. He was a man of some intelligence, and his books show that he was a neat penman. Though of a retiring disposition, his good nature and pleasing address brought him many friends. His wife, a tall, sad-faced woman, to whom he was married just before coming to this city, arrived here from New York State last January, and they occupied rooms across the street from St. Joseph's church.
Gibson was in Hall's saloon at half past eight, Saturday evening, and asked for a quart of whisky. "Pay me what you owe me" said Hall, and then there were some hot words. Gibson went out, and soon after, Hall shut his saloon, and to avoid trouble, passed out the back way. Gibson, meanwhile stayed in front of Berkshire's barber shop, next door, and was joined by Zach Ross. As Hall was crossing the alley, Ross asked Gibson why the saloon was closed so early. Gibson said: "I guess he's scared!" Hall said, "You are a liar!'* Gibson retorted: "You d—n bastard don't you call me a liar," and started toward Hall. Here the accounts conflict. One is that Gibson shot immediately, both men standing, and another that Hall had Gibson down when the shot was fired.
The ball took effect to the left of the mouth, just below the lower lip and passed backward and upward, causing death in less than half an hour.
Gibson went immediately to give himself up, and has since had a preliminary examination before Esquire,Steinmehl. Bail was refused and he was committed to jail to answer in the Criminal Court. The case has an ugly look for Gibson, but comment would not be proper until he has a fair trial.
THK Exposition of the Knights of Pythias on four nights of this week, was brought to a successful close in the small hours of yesterday morning. The suite of rooms in the Beach block, south of the postofflee was beautifully arranged and decorated by John W. Ebel, who is an artist in this line. The nsual accessories of festivals of this character were there, but the big feature seems to have been the voting for "the most popular." Ten cents was paid for every vote cast, and the result shows that it was a good scheme'.for the Knights. We give below the articles voted for and the names of those receiving the largest numbers of votes:
Most popular editor, gold headed cane: W. H. Duncan, «38 Miss Flannigun. 620. jst papular conductor, tine silver »rn: D. W. Johnson, 638 John Kitts, 1,800.

Most popular miss under fifteen, gold ring: Mi** Eclecta McKeen, 57 lrina Thomas, 87.
A WORTHY citizen, a little absentminded, and somewhat short-sighted went home the other evening with a hammock under his arm, and imediately proceeded to swing it between two trees in the yard. He didn't get the knack of it someway or other. There was a hammock in an adjoining yard hooked to a tree on his side of the hoard fence, and stepping up there he noticed how the staple was driven and then felt as to the arrangwent of the cordage. It was a colored hammock and not until his hand almost touched a pair of striped stocking did he notice that there was a strange lady in It, and that she was looking at him, half cross and half amused. He blushed and summered and apologised, and was ready to sell himself for a nlckle, when, looking around at his own domicile, he beheld his wife eyeing his movements. He argued the matter with her, but she pretends not to be convince#.

FARMERS!
Save every grain of your wheat by ordering now of
H. H. HCFERRIKI
Or of J. D. PHILLIPS, his Traveling Salesman, who is daily passing through the country taking orders for the
]Har«h Harvester
Deering Twine Binder.
Farmers, do not hesitate a moment to give your order for a MARSH HARVESTER. They are the original, first invented reapers, on the platform of which two and then three men stood and received the elevated wheat and bound it by hand, and have been thoroughly tested in the field for 22 years: so you see they are no new experiment. Wm. Deering, of Chicago, was the first bold and far-seeing man, three years ago, to to successfully attach the "Twine Binder" to the MARSH HARVESTER, so you see it is no new experiment, but ahead of all competition by three years' successful experienoe in the field as a "Twine Binder." THE DEERING TWINE BINDER weighs, all complete for the field, but 1525 paunds, being 300 to 400 pounds lighter for your horses to pull than our best competing binders, and yet is very strongly built, and has the fewest wheels, cogs, springs, and traps, to get out of order.
FARHERS!
Do not do as many did last season, put off giving your order until the "last day in the afternoon," and then call in hurry to find us all sold out, but be wise and give your orders now, and give us a chance to "set up" your machines when we are not in a "hurry, hurry 1" We can thus give you better satisfaction and you will have more time to study and get a«qu*inted with your machinery. Don't forget this, but order now of
