FAMILY MURDERED,
Negro the Perpetrator of the
Deed
POSSE IN PURSUIT OF VILLAIN.
Mrs. Emma Schumacker Murdered
foi Her Money.
Wesson, Miss, Dec. 10. One of
the most atrocious murders on record
in tho South, was .committed last
night in Simpson county, this state,
twenty miles from here, Brown Smith,
a farmer, and a son of cx-Rcprcscn -tativo
Edward Smith, left his family
at his home in the country to go to
town for shopping purposes, thinking
of no possible danger for them.
When he returned, he found his
wife and rive children lying in their
own blood and apparently murdered.
An alarm was raised immediately and
the entire neighborhood turned out to
hunt for the perpetrator of tho foul
bloody crime. There being no tele
graph connection, details of the mur
der come In slowly, but it is reported
that one of tho little girls, suppostd
to have been dead has revived euough
to tell what she knew of tho occur
rences. She said she knows the man
who committed the deed; that it was
a negro, and described him.
A posse is now on the track of the
murderer and there Is great probabil
ity that lie will bo apprehended before
morning and but little doubt of his
meeting speedy Justice when caught,
without waiting for the formallticsot
court,
Mrs. Smith and tho other four chil
dren arc dead. The sheriff's of Lincln
aad Copiah counties haye gone to the
scene of tho murder, each with a pack
of trained blood hound-).

Chicago Wheat Market.
Chicago, Dec. 10. Not slno Au
gust, 1801, has any mouth's delivery
of wheat bold as high as December did
on Thursday.
It roo from S1.0H, at the opening,
to $1.09,but in a very curious fashion.
It had many many a bakward slide,
but In the end it rested at $1.07, a not
Inconsiderable Improvement of 01
cents for the day. January was a good
second, winding up with a gain of 3
cents. May was less demonstrative In
its bullishness. It advanced 11 cents
per bushel. Other grain and provi
sion markets were more or less influ
enced by the advanco in wheat.
Wheat was very nervous at the
start. The shorts were evidently
alarmed at tho announcement that
thctull clique had made arrange
ments to ship by rail all wheat de
livered them on December contracts
and also made advantageous storage
contracts in tho East, The conse
quence was there was a host of buy
ing at odds for December, at the
opening, mostly of moderate lots, It is
true, but they had tho same effect on
the already strained market as if they
were millions. There was no wheat
for sale. December closed Vcdnesday

scramble among the shorts, not In
December alone, but in January and
May wheat also.
Before wheat came out $1.05 was
offered for December. Then came a
lull which lasted for an hour. The
brokers operating for the bull clique
attempted to stem the tide, but pro
bably from 200,000 to 250,000 bushels
were taken before the reaction occur,

but by 11:45 had again risen to $1.05.
Then came tho storm. Within five

SPAIN'S CUBA POLICY
Sagasta's Policy Too Slow for
Suffering Cuba.
INSTITUTION 0FCUBAN REFORM
Spain's Autonomy Decrees on the
Way.
New York, Dec. 10, Home rule
for Cuba; for Spain soverenlty; for the
United States reciprocity. The pro
gram is defined. If carried out it
might insure years of tranquallty and
prosperity to the Antilles, says tho
correspondent of tho Tribune lo
Ilayana. Until tho first point is set
tled the lot one is necessarily In
choate. It does not form part of Hip
public discussion of autonomy. Only
thoughtful men who are looking be
yond the politics or today, tuakti It ;i
cardinal feature in the Cuban polio
of the futnre.
Except for the fall In sugar. It
contended by thoughtful men that
the abuses of Spanish colonial mitt
government would have been nndureu
until corrected. In prosperity the
weight of corrupt and oppressive ad
ministration did not seem to bear mi
heavily. In adversity it became un
bearable. With conccslona from
Spain which promise to give Cuba Its
own government, the economic con
ditions again become prominent, and
commercial relations with tho United
States are the basis nf all these plans
for Improvement,
A wide gulf must first bo bridged
with autonomy before force can bo
given to these Ideas. Tho gulf may
never be spanned, because support at
either end by Spanish partisans and
Cuban revolutionists are wanting, yet
the suggestion of reciprocity Is sig
nificant of the future relations of
the Island to tho United States.
Tho Cubans who declare the rev
olution must goon until Independence
is won haye theories of their own.
One of these Is that broader and more
stable reciprocity will be secured to
the United Stats if it treats with
the Cuban republic instead of with a
colony of Spain. This Is their an
swer. It should not be understood that
the representatives of tho Spanish
cabinet in Cuba are coucerning them
selves with these matters of economy.
It is tho men of theories who are do
ing that. Captain-General Blanco
has too much Immediate work to look
so far ahead. To undo what Weyler
has done in maladministration is a
huge task in Itself. Something of this
labor has been accomplished In ad
minlstratlve offices, but this has little
bearing on the main question. The
places are filled by. men who are In
sympathy with the government, and
who will loyally help to carry out Its
plana.
These aro the details. More Impor
tant is the reorganization of tho po
litical panics. The Madrid corres
pondents or Havana papers describe
tho Sagusta ministry as in tho enjoy
ment of Its honeymoon.
Insurgent Proclamation,
New York, Dec. 10. A proclma
tion signed by the Cuban military
and civil leaders in Havana province,
protesting against the autonomy of
fcred by Spain, was recently issued as
reported by the corresoondent of the
Associated Press. Tho proclamation
In full Is as 'follews:
'Cubans: Arter all her efforts to
subdue us by force of arms, have
proved in vain, Spain offers autonomy
to tho Cuban people. Sho expects
to Induce us to submit anew to her
rule under her pretended terms of
peace. Spain's pretension is useless.
The tlaie Is already past to think of
such compromise and transactions.
Opposed to them in an Insurmount
able manner arc the dignity and man
ifest destiny of our country, tho out
rages Inflicted upon our families, the
torrents of Cuban blood that havo
been shed, the lives of so many in
nocent human beings who haye suc
cumbed to oppression, the sacred
memory of our heroes, who hayo died
in defense of their nativo soil and all
other sorts of sacrifices wo have made
in behalf of our Independence,
"To obtain this wo have again taken
up arms, and wo are determined to
continue unhesitatingly In tho task of
redeeming our country until we at
tain tho success which Is nearat hand.
Wc shall not flinch In our effort, nor
is it possible that we shall bo forsaken
by the God of Justice In our sacred
undertaking.
"Let tho world at largo ho aware
that this is our unalterable purpose

to which we have consecrated our

and, In short, our all.

announced from Spanish headquarters
that a group of rebels have cntared

"fuvorcd by the treason cf an officer."

Madrid, Dec. 10. Iniparclal takes
It for granted tho government will
make'preparations to meet t'o inter
vention threatened by President Mc
lvlnley, adding that If a new loan for
reorganization of tho navy Is lloated It
Is sure to succeed, and says the re
sponsibility of tho government Is
enormous If it rails to profit by the
opportunity offered to place the
country In a position toderend Its In

tho government is now making pre
parations tj meet tho Intervention.
The Logan Trial.
Dallas, Polk county, Dec. 10. The
trail of A. Logan, Indicted for the
niuider of K. Sylvester, or Lebanon,
at a hop-yard near Indopcndance, on
September 14. Iai,, Is In.urogiess be
fore Circuit Judge Geo. II. Uurnett.
A Jury wus obtained with vt little
tUlficully and the Introduction of evi
dence begun.
Tho Hue of evidence to bo shown by
the state is that Logan struck Syl
vester with a hop-pole on tho head
while he (Sylvester) was lookiug to the
side and theieby produced a compound
fracture of tho skull causing concus
sion of the brain and producing a
clot of b lood on each side of tho head.
The defense admits that Sylvc'ster
struck on the back of the head by Lo
gan, but It was not sufficient to pro
duce death, that the fatal blow was
received on Sylvester's cheek from a
person other than Logan.
From the state's witnesses exam
ined so far it has been proyen that Lo
gan struck Sylvester from behind,
while his (Sylycstcr) faco was turned
to the side
Dr.L. M. Jones, of Lebanon, was
on the stand as an expert witness, and
he produced tho skull of Sylvester,
and, by careful explanation, showed
there were three fractures on tho side
of tho skull which caused concussion
of the brain. In his opinion tbeso
fractures could not havo been caused
by a flstbut by some heavy Instrument.
At tho conclusion of Dr, Jones' tes
timony the court adjourned until o
o'clock today.
Tho defendant, Logan, whilo In tho
court room, surrounded by his at
torneys, appears quite calm and docs
not scorn to realize tho enormity of
the crime of which he is charged.
Largest Policy Ever-Iisued.
New York, Dec. 10. Tho largest
Ufo Insuraaco policy over Issued has
been written in this city, calling for
1,000,000 Insurance upon tho life of
George W. Vanderbllt. Tho policy Is
known as a 20-payment llfo contract,
and provides for a premium of $35,000
a year. After Mr. Vanderbllt has
paid that sum yearly for 20 years tho
payments cease and the principal be
comes duo at his death.
The next largest polioy over written
Is said to haye been for 100,000 ($500,
000), entered Into by an English com
pany, which reinsured much of the
risk In other concerns. Tho largest
transaction of an American company,
it is said, took placo a few years ago
when $500,000 or Insurance was Issued
upon tho lives or five members of tho
6a mo family.

Affairs in Peru,
Lima, Peru, Dec. 10. President
Picrola has vetoed tho measure rec
ently passed by congress legalizing
non-Catholic marriages In Peru, and
providing for the registration of such
manlagcs.
He gives ns his reason the fact that
the bill only authorized the rcglstra
tlon of foreigners without providing
for natlvcborn Peruvians, descended
rrom Protestants who hold to the re
ligion or their fathers. The presi
dent's action has called fourth much
adverse criticism.
Iththo exception of the official
organs the press Is bitterly opposed to
tho president's project to refund the
home debt, They denounce tho
plan as one calculated to rob tho cred
itors of Peru and assert that it Is dis
honest. It Is doubtful If the plan will
be sanctioned by congress.
An Uprising Iminent.
St. Petersuurq, Dec. 10.
Throughout Russian Asia thcro is
general unrest among tho Moslems.
It Is attributed to the reports of tho
Turkish victories oyer the "great
Greek empire," which hayo spread
through the length and breadth of
tho continent. The authorities rear
that tho brigandago recently prac
ticed In tho Caucasus is almost solely
against tho government officials, and
tho unprecedented phenomenon- or
brigands dlsplayin hostllityg toward
Armenians has becoruo manifest.
The situations Is so serious that a
conforenco or Cancasion governors has
been convoked to concert measures or
pacification
Travelers in Central Asia report an
extraordinary ferment among the
Moslems to different races. They aic
sinking their mutual animosities and
declaring that they aro first for tho
Mohammedans, with tho sultan as
their common chief.
It Is evident that the slightest pre
text would sulfico to brine; about an
uprising and plunge Russia Into tho
samo sea of trouble as India.
