STARRED WITH A KNIFE.— Jesse Wirt, of this town, who works on the saw mill at l'oe Mills, had an alterca tion with a young man by the name of Flunk on Monday forenoon on the mill, and was stabbed in the side by Frank.

A warrant, for Frank's arrest was issued the same day. The safety of the public demands that short work le made with such characters and we hope that this dangerous chap will receive the full measure of punishment provi ded by law for cases of this kind.

Mr. Wolf and family were not at home at the time having gone to the bush meeting which was in progress about a mile further east. The llames began their work in the attic and as the water seemed very scarce and the people were mostly to the bushmeeting the lire had all the chance to make headway. How ever, the few neighbors around suc ceeded m getting most of the furniture out of the house before the structure fell a mass of ruins. Mr. Wolf had beau sept for and when ho arrived at liis place he found the house and sever al tfift buildings reduced LO a3l|es. Ilis loss iiKtttvy as be carried no insurance whatever. The origin of the Are • re mains a mystery as there had been no lire in the stove since earlv in the morning. It is believtd that an incen diary got in his work and suspicions point to a tramp who had lounged a round the premises all morning.

Tliey lived on a farm in the Narrows, back of Washington Furnace, and in a rather isolated spot. In the afternoon of the said day Mrs. C'ulby who Is sup posed to have been in the house en gaged in making preparations to attend a funeral on the folio.ving day, was cruelly assaulted and outraged lv two or three diabolic tl villains. During the struggle which ensued she received three bullet wounds, one in the hack of the head, another in the back of bet shoulder and a third in the breast. Ilet husband who was in a field near by heard the shots and ran to Iter assist ance, and while defending his wife was shot in the face, beneath the left eye. The tahy during all this terrible com bat was sitting oh the thiol in the house wheie it was found the next evening (Sunday) crying and hungry. Mr. ('ni tty's mother, who was the liist to dis cover the bloody deed, found her s.n and daughter-in-law dead in front of the house, near the door. The bodies >f the murdered couple were huiied on Monday evening. This is the most sickening crime that has been per petrated in this section of the state in our recollection and the excitement and indignation of the people is at fever-heat. We hear that three men, hailing from Hublersburg have been urrestc-d as the guilty parties and are safely lodged behind the bars of '.he Lock Ilaven jail. One. it is reported, has made a cleat, bieusl of the whole affair. He shall keep our readers posted as particulars deyelope from week to week.
