PnrtIonium of the Terrible Knto ot Alex? nuder K.-IU-.-SIIO.-UIIIK Story of the Miir ilnr nml Ammult Upon ?Iis* C:. Iloy.-r nn?i tho Kate <>r tin' Murderer. On Friday week, at Gainesville, Clark county, Alu., a young hui y nam ed Carrie Boyer, seventeen years old, was way laid while on lier way homo from a neighbor's. She wuss found dying with a bullet hole in the back of her neck and with her skull crushed in. A broken gunstock, with blood upon it, was found lying in thc roath The gunstock was recognized as belonging to Alexander Kelti, a negro living near at hand. Thc barrel of the broken gun was found in his house, lt bail blood and hair upon it. Reid Hod when tho avengers came to look for him. Tho people of Clarke and ad joining counties,both whites and blacks, organized a hunt for the murderer. The river banks had been scoured and every avenue of c-cape cut off. Tho blacks were as eager as the whiles to catch the murderer. Two negroes cip'.urcd him at the county linc, when captured a guard was placed over Heid, who was placed ill chains anti marched to (Jamestown. People along the road demanded that Reid sb. ud be \uohcd, but the guard replied that ho must bo taken to thc scene of his clinic. Tho guard, then numbering two hundred men, reached (-Jamestown with the prisoner at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Tho prisoner maintained Milleu silence lill Sunday, when he confessed his guilt. Then he said that lie had not intended to kill the young lady, but that his gun went otr accidentally and wounded her. Seeing that he was in for lt any how, ho heat out her brains with the stock of the gun. The crime, it will be remembered was one of great atro city. Reid assaulted the young lady while she was walking homo alter having visited a friend near Caines town. Ile concealed himself with his gnu by the roadside and sprang on the young lady as fdio passed through a strip of woods. Slic resisted and was too strong for him to carry out his purpose. He then struck her with Iiis list and gun. Thc bravo girl fought him until lie shot her and murdered her bv striking hoi*repeatedly after she fell. After ibo arrival of Heid and thc guard at (?ainestown it was evident that but short ?britt would lie allowed him. About 2 o'clock in thc afternoon a crowd ot live hundred person-, white and black, took the prisoner out on thc road near (bc spot w here the murder had been committed and chained bim to a tree. Blacks and whites piled lightwood about the miserable crimi nal, and when the pile was breast high ono among them applied the torch. As the flames shot upward the negro gave shrieks of agony. The crowd seeing the smoke and flames envelop ing lum, tlid not wish bim to die so easily. They scattered the brands and the man was seen writhing in ago\y. Once more a pile oil' lightwood was constructed and thc llame.-, sprang up briskly scorching thc negro terribly. Before they became fatal, however, they were ?gain subdued, and again thedoomed wretch was seen convulsed with terror and pain. The third time tho pile was lighted it was allowed to do its work, and thc body of Reid was completely reduced to ashes. Tho crowd tlien dispersed to their homos. This is tho second incident of thc kind in thc same place. About seven years ago a negro preacher who mur dered au old lady and a little boy anti assaulted a yonng girl was in a similar manner tied to the stake and roasted to death. The Crop Statistic? of 1885. Estimates ol' the Statiscian ot the National Department ol Agriculture for thc principal crops of 1886, are computed, and the aggregate bushels are as follows, in round ligures: Corn 1,9:16,000,000 bushels, wdieat 307,000, 000 bushels, oats 629,000,000 bushels. The area of corn is 7:1,000,000 acres; of wheat 84,000,000; of oats 23,000,000. Thc value ol'the corn averages nearly 3:1 cents per bushel and makes an ag gregate of $635,000,000-five millions less than the value of the last crop. The decrease in the product of wheal is 30 per cent, and only 17 per cent, in the valuation, wliich*is$275,OiM),000. Thc valuation of Hie oat crop is $180, 000,000. Tho reduction in tho wheal crop is mostly in the valleys of the Ohio and in California. The States of Ohio, Indianans, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas last vear produced 170, 000,000 bushels; t li i st vear 80,00i?,()oo, a reduction of 90,000,O()O bushels. The production of all cereals is 63 bushels to each inhabitant, mid (ho aggregate value, is larger than any former year. A llrAve N'en- England. Town. The authorities of a New England town recently applied th rc ugh their Congressman to the war department for transcripts of tho military records of soldiers furnished to the army by the town during the Confed?ralo war. To furnish these was against the ordi nary rules of the department, but as they were "for historical purposes,'" to be used at some approaching anni versary, a concession was made. The tiles were examined and disclosed the fact that the names of about sixty citi zens of the township had been drawn ina wdiecl and twenty-four of these persons were, upon examination ac cepted. Further search disclosed tho tact that twenty-three of them furnish ed substitutes and the other fled to Canada. Kusinen* Fnllurc? In 1885. R. Vt. Dun & Co.'s Mercantile Agency reports that flic total number of business in the United States during 1785 was 10,637, with liabilities of a little more than 124,000,000, as com pared with 10,968 failures in 1884, with liabilities of $226,000,000. While thc failures for 1885 are onlv 3 per cen*, less in number than in 1684, thc liabil ities have decreased nearly 50 per cent. Number of traders reported in busi ness in 1885 was 919,990; of these OHO in every 86 failed. In 1868, with 690, 000 traders, ono in 64 came to grief. Tho average amount of liabilities of each failure in I88? wu? $11,678, Ayainst $20,632 in 1884 and $22,800 in 1878. If is ?oeil from these figures that while business casualties havo de creased but slightly in number, they are fsr less significant in amount and Import Aller. A Oeneronn ProponUlnn.

Kully a dozen ser vants have boon outraged and eight in urdo red within this period. Thc crimes all hore evidence of hoing per petrated by the same person. Every effort has been made to apprehend the criminals, skilled doted ives being em ployed. Many negroes were arrested ami nut through a rigid examination, hut liol hi mg caine of I hose effort8. Many citizens and sonic officials lieht to the theory that the crimes were per petrated by some insane person, who OUUUillglv devised how he could shed woman's blood without apprehension. About midnight NV. li. Hancock, a well-to-do carpenter residing al 208 Water street, was awakened by groans. Entering bis wife's chamber he found a vacant bed covered with blood spots. Ile followed the trail out of the trout door around thc house and into thc backyard, where be found bis wife weltering in a pool of blood.

Death had resulted (rom a blow on thc forehead w ith an axe. Across the body lay heavy rails. i 1er person had been outraged. There is no clue in cither case. Tho excitement on tho streets during thc day was very great. Christ mas was forgot len. The Mayor called a meeting of tho citizens ai the State House and nearly a thousand respond ed to the call, and a committee ot pub lic safely was organized. The feeling over tllC80 last outrages is intense. A IlOUSC-tO-hoUSe search tor the bloody handed murderers will probably be made." A special to thc (Julveston Ncir.s from Austin says: "Eustacio Marli ne/., a Mexican, about forty years old, was arrested Thursday night on sus picion of being implicated in the mys terious murders which have recently startled thc citizens of Austin.

Several prominent Indiana people huvo taken thc thing in charge and the pros pect is that a committee will he organ ized for tho purpose of assisting tho State Committee in carrying out their work. Thc friends of Mr. Hendricks deprecate thc introduction of the bil! bv Prank Lawler, of Chicago, appro priating $10,000 out of thc Public Treasury for tho purpose of tho mon lltnent. These friends say that no government contribution is needed, nor will it tie accepted even if granted. It is considered it had precedent on thc part of other members ol'Congress to introduce a bill for monumental pur poses. A number of very prominent men have died recently and thc success of thc movement in favor of the inonu meut to Mr. Hendricks would result tn a general onslaught on thc 'l rcasury in which thc friends of thc late Presi dent (irani, Goncral Shields, Ccueral George H.

It is understood that bills will be Introduced voting funds for monuments for (?encrai Shields, General McClellan and General Grant. If any of these bills should puss it would furnish a precedent for thc pas sage of the others, so il is thought in advisable that any one of them should go through. - By a proclamation just Issued in India and England, I hi rina li has been formally annexed to thc british Km pirc.
