A I.AP...iE EXTORT OF GKAIN.
The outlook favors a large export of grain
between tin' present and the end of the calen
dar year. Conservative estimates place the
amount already booked for charter or bcrlh
room at twice that actually sent in a like per
iod last year. Advices received indicate that
charters and room secured on IV ci ruber .'!'
covering tiie ports of New York, Philadelphia
Baltimore, ami Newport News, represent
about J i, (HXiJW bushels of grain. It is re
ported, as well, that Boston, New Orleans, and
Norfolk will send o.ij.ki.'.ski bushels more,
mnking practically Jo.lio ,() (0 bushels engaged
from Atlantic and ju If. ports, for the latter
balf'of tiieyear.
The bulk of the chartered grain will go in
tramp steamers and the outlook is for fair
rates. Many charters already reported are
for second trips. On the Pacific Coast, San

HE HACKED THEM TO DEATH.
A Farmer, His Wife, anil One Son Killed,
and Anot her 3Iay Die.
Father, m itlicr, and one son was killed and
another mortallr wounded at 9 o'clock in the
morning on the Lucas farm, eight miles from
Lexington, Ky., on the Ciay and Kiso pike,
and their assassin was killed by a posse of
citizens, who caught hiin red-handed at his
work.
On Friday morning George Craig, a negro,
who was confined in the Cythiana jail for
murder, escap d. He came over to the Bour
bon county line and went to the residence of
Nathan Conwny, on the Lucas farm, and ask
ed lor a drink of w ater.
Mr. Conway, bis two sons, his daughter-irr
law, two nieces, and three grandchildren were
seated on the porch, enjoying the morning
breeze which was sweeping through the beau
tiful valley. William Conway, the eldest son
aged 43, handed the negro a dipper of water,
and as lie did so the bru-c held up an old
rusty blade from a wheat cradle and remark
ed: "This is a nice looking knife for a fellow to
carry."
The young man answered, "Yes."
Without warning the negro struck hiin a
blow over the head with the blade, cutting a
terrible gash.
The family was so dunifoiinded that at first
they could do nothing, and the negro followed
up the blow w ith many others. Conway fell
exhau-ted from the loss of blood, and w ill die
from his injuries.
Tne father, who is ill years old, had pushed
to his son's aid. The murderer turned upon
him and killed hiin instantly by a stroke
across tbe h- ad, splitting it open.
The old mother, who was the same age as
the father, was next attacked and cut in a
horrible manner. Besides oth. r marks on tha
body, sh i w is cut jusc back of the left ear
and split the skull.
.Charles Conway, the youngest son, aged 2$,
attempted to kill the negro, but he was not
able to cope with the man.
Craig struck him a blow over the head, but
the blow was not severe. It was followed by
others of more serious nature. The women
and children who had not been attacked fled
to the residence of (J. W. Bartlow, only about
200 yards away.
Mr. Bartlow loaded his gun with buckshot,
and other men at the house went to the relief
of Charles, who was then at (he niercy of the
negro.
l r.e young man was running toward Bart
low's and ihe negro was in pu suit. He soon
caught the young man in an old graveyard on
the place, and was hacking him with the
k n i fe.
A shot was fired at Craig ami it struck him
in the centre of the forehead stunning him,
but not entering the skull. Then Mr. Bartlow
fired two loads ot buckshot into his body.
Thet-e seemed to have no u licet. He was
then attacked with corn kives. He had re
gained consciousness, and at the sight of them
ran across a field a bnjf a mile and fell dead
beside a haystack, where his body was still
lying at sundown.
Craig sani w hen he was attacked by the
neighbors that be had killed seven persons,
ana would kill thnt many more before iiedie I.
He is known to have kiilcd his mother-in-law
and also several other?. He was n brother of
Charley Craig, who is tinder sentence to death
for killing his wife in Cincinna.i.
BALMACEDA'S SUCCESSOR.

A dispatch received in London, from San
tiago, Chili, s.-y. I li tit Claudio Vicuna has
been elected president of Chili. He will ns-

government.
Tin- government has 2...04.O troops between
here and Valparaiso and Conccpcion. It can
effect a junction between these troops in a
single 'lay and can give battle to the rebels.''
Si nor Vicuna is a man of vast wealth and
under ordinary circumstances would have
been much more aeceptible to the Chilian
aristocracy than Santuente, w ho is regarded
as an upstart and parvenu. The Chilian cor
respondent of the London Times who, it
should be observed, is decidedly friendly to
the Balnmecdist party recently wrote con
cerning Senor Yi"unf.:
"The next President will he Don Claudio
Vicuna, the chosen candidate of the Liberal
party a man who has lived his whole life in
full view of the Chilian people, who has ably
and honorably held many successive port
folios, and against whom even the members of
the Opposition have nothing stronger Jo urg-i
than that he is not one of themselves."

appoint a committee of five to go to Nashville
and Knoxville, if necessary, to confer with
Governor Buchanan and arbitrate the present

convicts sent away, and nothing more or less.
Another resolution was adopted, that each
man pledge himself on his honor that not a

various trade unions of the city, the delegates
decided to ask all a-iliated labor organiza
tions to refuse to endorse Samuel Gompers,
President of the American Federation of
Labor, as candidate for President at the next
National Convention. Gompers resides in
New York, and has been President for the
last eight years. "They expressed the opin

labia movement during his long term in of-'ce.
They will press for an amendment to the con
stitution limiting the office-holding ability of
any one man to three consecutive terms at the

DEBT ON FARMS.
An Important Itultetin from the Census
OrliceFijrures.
The count of the farm and home transcripts,
made in accordance with the mortgage-collection
clause of the Census act, lias been com
pleted by the Census Office. Tiie figures are
subject to slight modifications. There were
returned by the enumerators 2,4!'I,!W0 farms
and homes occupied by owners which are
incumbered by mortgages. This number in
cludes some farms and homes about which the
enumerators made no repo t, uud which belong
partly to the class of hired and partly to the
class of owned free as well as partly o the
class of owned and incumbered. Until this
unknown quantity, due to the failure of th
eminierato: s, is eliminated, it may be regarded
as app.-o.vimalely true that two and a-quartcr
million families of the Cnited States occupy
and ow n incumbered farms and homes, and
that ten and a-q'iartermillion families occupy
farms nnd homes that are either hired or
owned free.
The proportions of hired and owned free
homes nnd f I nns will be known when the
population division completes the count of the
returns pertaining to them. The preliminary
results indicate that the average debt of a
farm in Iowa is $1,283; home $710 average
for farm and home $1,140. f these averages
hold good tor the I'nion, the incumbrance on
the farms and homes of the Vnited States
occupied by owners is about 2,56o.O K.1,000.
The success of this investigation, Superin
tendent Porter says, has been far beyond the
anticipations of the most exper enc d statis
ticians, and the result will be of immense
interest and value to the nation. The first
volume r lating to recorded indebtedness will
probably go to press this yea'. Incomplete
returns from several Western States indicate
that farms nud bom-.'- i-re mortgaged for about
one-third ihe value put upon them by the
owners.
