Th Iioiish sits hack half a inilii from what is known as tho old Claikcvilli! turnpike. It was a one story frame dwelling with live rooms two rooms in front, with a hall way between, and three rooms running back, forming an t il. Old man Ado and his wife 11-11 illy 'cenpied the first room in the ell, just in tho n ar ol the front room or parlor. There was only one lad in this room. It was in this room that all the bodies were it'll nil. Tho firrit indication of the tragedy win ilibCovercil at 10 o clock l.tst niirht by Justice ISimpe- Mi, who lics half a miic from the Adc place. There was a rick nun at Mr. Simp son's house, and about lo o'clock Mr. Simpson went out to fct some water for the man, when he saw that Adu's hoiico was on Lire. Ho at once r jde over to the scene and found the house in inins. Finding no one near Simpson's suspicions were aroused, and upon a closer in spection he saw the bodies of sever al poplo in the ruius. Ho went to work at once to rescue the bodies and succeeded in getting lour of them out. There proved to be the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Adc, Miss Lizzie Ade and K-ish Moirt r. Alter this Mr. Simpson rode aiound and notified a number ol the neighbors, and in a short while quite a crowd had collected about theruit s. Henry Ade, the thirteen year old son of Mr. Ado, was missing, but his body CiMi'il not tie loiinu. it wnt nrd thought tln.t he had ts:aped to the wood, I ut a further search of the house this morning disclosed his body. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Ade, Mit-s Lizzie Ade and Henry Ade were burned to a crisp. The limbs and heads were burned off, and in tact only a small mass or tl- sh and bones remained. The old man and his wife were more horribly burned than the others. The purpose ot the murder was at first thought to be robbery, but if this be correct, the murderer was iil-paid lor his horrible crime. J a searching the ruins of the house this morning an oyster can was found under the place where a closet once siooa in mt. aucs sleeping room. In this can tho re mains cf what was evidently a large roll of money was found, together with four dollars which had been melted so that they weie Slicking together. Mierilt Clarke was notiued of the supposed crime early this morning and he with several deputies went to the scene and they are now work ing on the case. Hisposing ot the robbery theory, it is very hard tu find a motive for the horrible crime, as Mr. Ade was a very popular man and wellthked by all his ne'ghbors.

The Great Annual Gathering it the Olym plan Gamnl, About the first of tho Olympic month war and battle sound ceased throughout the length and breadth of Hellas. 1 ho distant mails which led to ( 1 viii pin were thronged with pilgrims bound on a journey almost as sacred as that ot the pilgrimage to Mecca by tho devout Mohamme dan. An tho distance lessened am the time neitred the travelers hecamo more numerous, ami it seemed as if Greece dispatched all lier bravest and strongest ami noblest sons into these convertMis' currents. On horseback and niiilehiiok, on foot and in litter, sonio carrying their simple luggage upon their buck, some with elaborate wagons con taining splendid camp equipage ami tho richest wines and food guarded by a retinue ol servants, they choked each route with un army of teeming life. Tho live festival days were a great national picnic,, wheto almost even thing was ouioyed in the open air under a glorious midsummer sky. A few of the distinguished visitors wcro cired for in tho torn pics, but a majority, even of tho wealthy, chose the hoc lilo ol their own tents. The daily scene, one can fancv was i ifh with life ami pictorial i licet. One. of the fairest of Greek valleys, with snow crowned heights in tho background, its own liosom crowned with tho white pillared beauty of a hntulred temples and public odiliecs, is filled with thous and ot tents of every color, like gigantic flowers. I luring tho hours when tho visitors do not resort to the rtaiiiliuin to thrill with the ter rible struggles of the runners or wrestlers or boxers or to watch the smoking horses in the hippodrome, they may auuiio themselves at the booths of tht! traders and chai'inen, for from all parts of the ciiliz' d World merchants have gathered to sell their wares, ranging from the larcst jewels and most elaborate goldsmith work to simple articlesof daily use. OlyinpU was indeed tho arena of the greatest public games of anti quity, tor we can scarcely call by tins name the cruelties of the Koman amphitheater, but it was also the site ol one of its busy and active fairs, a "national exposition'' under canvas, every four years. Mental enjoyment of the higher sort w as not missing from the enter tainment. The leading tragedies were represented in one of the finest theaters of Greece, l'oets and his torians came here also to recite their new works and so to publish their fame to the world. It is said that many ot the stirring odes of 1'indar were made public in th s way and that Herodotus, the father of his tory, first read his delightful story before the audience at an Olympic festival.

MAY HIT THE SOUTHERN, Tho decision ot the United States supreme court on Monday declaring the Iran Missouri freight AtsoCm lion agreements to bo in violation of the interstate commerce law may upset all the traffic associations in the country. Justice Peckham, delivering the majority opinion of the court, am tiouneed that thu agreement to main tain rates was in violation of the famous fourth section. All trallio association agreements havo a pro vision requiring members to main tain rates, but they do not do it. The Southern States Freight As sociatioti has such a clause in its agreement. I ntil the full text of tho decision is received it is impossible to tell how far-reaching the decision is. Commissioner 11 S. Haines is at Old Point Comfort attending the rate committee meeting, and there was tio representative hete who cared to sneak authoiitatively. But the tralllc associations appear, from tho news reports, to have re ceived a death blow at the hands of the supreme court. It may bo possible to draw such an agreement that a rato-adtustivo organization will bo within the law. Railroads and the public need rato adjusting associations in order to prevent confusion ami facilitate business. Tho agreement of the Joint Trallic Assix'iatinn wasdrawxi by able lawyers who attempted to keep it within tho law. The fed eral district court and tho circuit court ed appeals of New York have held that tho agreement seems to ie legal and that the government is not entitled to an injunction. Now. right on tho heels ot tho cir cuit court i opinion comes this de cision of the supreme court. In the Joint Trallic Association ca.-o 'ast week in New York James C. Carter made tho concluding speech for the association. He said that under the system of transporta tion in this roiintry any ono has the riht to build a railroad wherever ie willed. The law permitted the freest competition. The network of railroads iu the United Stttes was so complicated as to render it at times and under certain circumstances very diflicult to determine what roads were connecting and what were competing. The interests of the railroads and the public were identical, it was essential to pros perous railroad enterprises that rates should be stable, uniform and reasonable. Equal rates were abso lutely essential to the prosecution of such enterprises. 1 he classification was a most diflicult task and could only be accomplished by the united minds of those who controlled the great railway systems of the entire oiintrv. Had the government taken charge of railroads it would certain- y have pursued the same course of combination and interchanire to facilitate commerce that tho man agers of the great roads have been endeavoring to bring about for many years. The constant reduction of rates, ow ing to tho excess of compe tition, had thrown many roads into bankruptcy. Unreasonably high rate-s were an impossibility. No railroad could maintain them. The interstate commerce act re quired publicity as to the rates charged by the various roads and prohibited discrimination. Rail roads must change their rates, but must give public notice. These and other provisions ot the act were quitahle and wise, but they largely failed to accomplish their purpose, owing to the ruinous competition which the law permitted, and be cause of the fact that some of the roads violated the law by discrimin ation and special rates. Out of these practices arose railroad wars, appeals to the law, perjury and other evils which showed the im- pttssibility of attempting to regulate and prevent the evils. 1 lie object of tho Joint Traffic Atsociation,said Mr. Carter, is to do away with the evils mentioned, and to prevent the ruinous competition which grows out of them. But reasonable competition is given full scope under the agreement, and any retau having superior advantages for carrying certain lines of freight will not be hindered from having an extra share of the traflic Judge Wallace, in delivering the opinion of the court, sa;d in sub stance : "In my view the interstate Commerce act cannot be invoked in this case. If there has ben unr iolation of the 'pending' sect'on of that act the right of injunction lies t with the United States govern ment, but w iih the interstate com merce Commission. It is however. matter of grave doubt whether thev have any right to such relief or in any way, except by criminal prosecution, i believe that it is a juestion of grave doubt whether or not the anti trust law applies to rail roads. The Uuited States hat no remedy by injunction in this case. The provision of the act authorizing relief by injunction allows it to I invoked in a count of equity only v some p. rson liable to lea-s. A rival road might invoke that section of the act, but au injunction in this case cannot be maintained. We liiim the decision of the court be- ow. C it.rurn: g in th'.e findlLg. Judge ix.iiiO remarked tnat it war neewssary lor him toaay the United States had no right tinder the inter state commerce act. and. in his opinion, the anti trust act does not apply, and was Pot intended by con gross to apply to railroad corpora tions.

I havo been blamed by men ol science, both in this country and in England, for quoting the Bible in confirmation of tho doctrines of physical geography. The Bible, they say, wis not written for scien tific purposes, and is therefore ol no authority. I beg pardon : tho Biblo is Author ty for eveything it touches. What would you think of the his torian who should refuse to consult the historical records ot tho Bible, because tho Biblo was not written for tho purtajso of history ?
