THE CENTERVILLE TKAGEDY.
An Entire Family, Consisting of Flva
Ptriont, Mgrdrrrd In gt. Clair Coun-
' t T, III. Ilewaril OflVretl for the Ap
prehension of the .Murderer.
The most fienduh murder, perhaps, ever
perpetrated within the State of Illinois waa
committed a few miles south of the town of
Centenl'.le, In St. Clair County, III., on the
night of March 19, in which five human soul
passed from this world to the next by the des
perate hand of some fiend molded after the
form of humanity.
Thirty-live years ago there came to Center
ville a German, Friedrich Stilzenricde, who
settled down on a muU farm. With honest
toil and studied economy he and the good frau
added other acres to their domain. All went
on smoothly, the farm brought forth
abundar.tly, and In time their boy got
old enough to marry, and took to him
self a blooming maiden by the name of Annie
Beltz. The mother died full of years
and honor, leaving behind her old husband-
The old man Friedrich, growing some
what feeble with age, turned the farm of
eighty acres over to his son, and took no in
terest In the fafm further than to walk over
the domains and advise with the young pro
prietor as to the best means of managing the
business of the ranche. All went well with
the good family ; a brace of -children came to
Charles and Anne in the four years following
their marri.ige. In ftct they prospered eo
well that only a few days before the tragedy
the young man spoke to some of his neigh
bors, telling them that he had $S00 to lend to
some one who could give security and pay in
terest on this little time deposit. But his
neighbors did not want to borrow, so
he told Beltz, his brother-in-law, and
others, that he would on the following Mon
day take his money to Belleville to deposit in
the savings bank in that town. These were
probably the unfortunate words which led to
the awful murder of the Stelzenriede family,
consisting of the old man, his son and wife and
the two children.
Although the murder was committed on the
night of the 19th, nothing was known of it
until the afternoon of the next day, when
BenJ. Schneider, a neighbor living about a
half mile from the Stelzenriede farm, came to
the house to get some Feed potatoes which the
ion had promised him the day before. Arriv
ing at the door he knocked, but a dead silence
reigned w ithin. lie opened the door, w hich
was closed but not locked, and he beheld the
ghastly sight of five human corpses, all within
tight of the entrance door.
The Stelzenriede houte is a plain one-story
frame containing thro-: rooms a sitting-room,
also occupied as aeletping-room ; a bed-room,
and a kitchen with an open porch in the rear.
The house stands off the road some twenty
yards, and fronts east, facing the road, abroad
county highway. From the front door on the
east side the tracks of the murderer were
seen, red with the gore his hand had shed. To
the riht of the main room, which is entered
from the Lont door, is a small room parti
tioned off, which was u?ed by the old man as
a bed-room. The main room had in the
eoutheabt corner a cot or lounge on which
Charles was accustomed to sleep, while the
wife and two children slept in the
southwest corner of the main room
on a broad, old fashioned bedstead. 'When
Eei j. Schneider opened the front door he
taw the corpses just as they lay when life left
them. The head of Friedrich, the old man,
was lyiug across the bill of the door, with a
gah from the right ear extending somewhat
angularly down to a point under the left ear.
From the position of the old man he had evi
dently heard the ttruggle In the main room,
and opened the door only to fall a victim to
the death-dealing weapon of the unrelenting
murdwrcr. There was no blood on the bed in
which the old man slept. The body of Charles
Stelzenriede was lying at an angle of forty
five degrees, with his head withia two
feet of the east entrance door, his throat
cut, severing the jugular vein and 'the
carotid . arteries. Charles was partially
dressed, and it is supposed that, hearing a
noise, he had gotten up to see what was the
matter, but was cut down before he had pro
ceeded more than a few steps. The wife lay
in her bed with her head almost severed from
her body. She had evidently died without a
struggle, as the bed-clothes were still drawn
up about her. The boy had probably been
startled from hi3 sleep, as he lay at right an
gles with the bed with his skull crushed as if
by some blunt instrument. The infant was
slaughtered in iU mother's arms, and the
back of its skull, being young and the
sutures not well knitted together, was actually
broken into pieces and lay out upon itB
mother's breast.
Uorror-6tricken, Schneider soon summoned
the neighbors, and as there were no relations
near with the exception of a brother of
Charles' wife, who lived not far off, he vras
sent for but would not come to the scene, giv
ing as the lamest of excuses that he could not
get ou his boots, which he said were wet from
wading in the water that day. This man is
named Beltz, and ou the arrival of Sheriff
Hughes on the ground, he was held in charge by
two of the Sheriff's deputies. Beltz was put
upon the stand, but he maintained an uncom
municative attitude throughout the whole
examination, lie was ordered to be confined
in the county jail upon the charge of being
privy to the murder, but was subsequently
released, having proved a satisfactory alibi.
The County Court of St. Clair has offered a
reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of the
murderer, and the Governor has also offered a
similar reward. The whole of the murdered
. family were highly respected in the neighbor
hood in which they lived.

Night came on, and at ten p. m. I left
Bascom's to go to my humble bed at
Deekin Pogram'a. Ez I approached his

only hed five drinks, and I felt a longin

to em z well ez in the glare uv the broad

l determined to do it. l went to my
room and got a bottle and went thro the
alley on wich the barn stood. Caushusly
scalin the fence I crept into the barn and
crawled up to the barrel wich hed the
fawcitin. I wuz enveloped in Cimme
rian darkness. I reached out keerfully to
find the fawcit, when I heerd a rusllin
sound ez tho somebody else wuz neer. I
laid still on my abdomen till the Bound
ceased. 44 It is nothin," I sed to myself,
and crawled up closter. Confoosh'n! ily
hand struck alivin human body! Drawin
back hastily, my boot struck an obstacle,
wich, ez et the exclamash'n wuz wrung
from it, remarked, "Thunder!" Just then
a match wuz drawd, a candle wuz lighted,
and Tabloo.
There stood Bascom erect, with a pained
expression onto his countenance, and on
their abdomens, each with a bottle in his
hand and crawlin towards the barrel, wuz
Deekin Pogram, Capt. Jlcl'elter, Issaker
Gavitt, Elder Penni backer, and evry wun
uv them wich wuz in Bascom's when the
arrangement wuz made to remove the
barrels, and wich assisted in movin em.
The thot that hed okkured to me hed
likewise okkured to all the rest.
I wuz the only one who hed presence

and springin to my feet, I denounct em
for the breach uv faith they wuz commit
tin. 44 Wat are yoo here for?" demanded
Deekin Pogram. 44 Didn't yoo come here
for jist wat we come for?"
44 Did I come here with a bottle?" I re
plied. 44 Did I come here like a thief in
the night, to pilfer our good friend's sus

They all slunk out, leavin me and
Bascom alone.
44 It's all very well, Parson," sed he, his

you hoary-headed deceever."
And he turned me out and put a pad

to my home ea dry as a lime-kill. Better
for me wood it hev bin ef I hed never

hev it fail. But there remains to us just
wat we hed before. This escapade don't dry

A Squire Bamboozled.
It i3 a fact pretty generally known that
in order to dispose of disorderly charac
ters promptly at the State fairs a Justice
of the Peace is continually on the fair
grounds. A West Troy Justice attended to
thi9 business last fall, and many offenders
were brought before the 44 big Judge."
Among the number arrested was a young
man having the appearance of a half
witted, overgrown country boy. lie was
detected in "scaling the fence," and
brought by a policeman to the office of the
Justice. Tho lubberly boy admitted the
charge, but pleaded in extenuation that
he had no money, aud hi3 desire to see
" the show" had induced him to commit
the wrong. The 'Squire quickly sen
tenced him to jail for thirty days or to
pay a fine of five dollars. The culprit
began to cry, saying he had no money,
but the 'Squire was inexorable, and unless
the five dollars were paid at once the out
side world would be a stranger to him for
thirty days. After continuing to 44 blub
ber" for some time the boy said his
motner nad just sent him to the savings
bank in Albany to deposit fifty dollars
and he had the money with hire.
44 Well," said the Justice, 44 if you would
avoid going to jail, take five dollars of
your mother's money, and go home and
explain matters to her." The boy finally
drew off one of his cowhide boots, and,
taking from it a small piece of newspa
per, displayed a nity-Uollar bill rolled
within. With a sorrowful look and
a trembling band the bank-note was
handed to 44 His Honor," who returned
forty-five dollars change. This done, the
J ustice directed the policeman to take the
boy by the collar and thrust him out of
the gate, which was done by the blue-coat,
who added by way ot emphasis a good,
sound kick.
As the pretended greenhorn reached
the road he "was laughed at by the crowd,
and in reply said f 44 1 have finished my
business in there." The next day the
'Squire proceeded to deposit the fifty
dollar greenback in the bank, when he
was informed that it was counterfeit.
Imagine the feeliDgs of "the Court"
41 Sold," said he, 44 and got the money."
The Justice has decided that appearances
are deceptive, and with regard to the
honesty of strangers 44 you can't most
always tell." The 'Squire will keep a
sharp lookout for country bumpkins
hereafter. Troy Times.
USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.
Bed-Bco Poibost. According to Prof.
Hirzel, the troublesome little bed-bug
can be easily destroyed by an aqueous so
lution of sulphurous acid.
To renovate velvet, wet a clean
sponge in warm soap-suds, squeeze it
dry in a cloth, and wipe the velvet with
it thoroughly ; then pass the velvet over
the edge ot a hot flat-iron, the wrong side
next the iron.
Boiled Beef. The best piece is the
round, the next best the edge-bone. Put
it into boilin? water, otherwise it will
lose all its juciness. Ten pounds of beef
will require three hours or more ot boil
ing. No orxament is so appropriate for the
table or mantel as a vase of flowers. If a
small quantity of spirits of camphor is
placed in the water contained in the vase
the color and freshness of the flowers will
remain for a much longer period. Try it.
Fruit Cake. ilix one pound sugar,
one-half pound of butter or lard,
two eggs, one teacup of sour milk, one
half teaspoon of cream tartar, one of soda.
Add flour enough to make a thin batter.
Bake in thin layers in pie-pans. When
cold spread stewed apples or dried
peaches or any kind of fruit between the
layers of cake.
Erysipelas. Erysipelas is of two
kinds one affecting principally the skin,
the other the whole system. In mild
cases, affecting the 6kin only, lemonade
made from the "fresh fruit helps the pa
tient very much, being in addition very
grateful to the palate. Flour may also
be dusted on the inflamed parts. In se
vere cases call in a physician.
A Favorite Sauce for Puddings or
IvOLls. Cream six ounces of butter until
light and white as possible ; then stir in
gradually the same weight of finely-pulverized
white sugar. It looks very in
viting made up into the shape of a little
pyramid, thickly strewn with grated nut
meg. In addition you may use at pleas
ure vanilla or any other seasoning you
prefer.
A cor.REsroyDENT says : 41 For colic in
horses give the horse twenty drops of oil
of peppermint in a half pint of warm
water, and you will find him getting bet
ter soon. This I have used when other
remedies had failed; and I used it in colds
and cough3 for myself. To stop a cough,
take a small lump of sugar and drop on it
two or three drops of oil of peppermint, and
let it dissolve In the mouth; then swallow
it, and you will feel better."
Boiled Haddock. Scrape clean and
empty the fish, and fasten the tail firmly
in the mouth, lie it in a well-noured
cloth, and lay it in a fish-kettle or ordi
nary sauce pan. Cover it with cold water
and let it heat slowly. When it simmers,
push the kettle back to prevent boiling,
and simmer gently lor twenty minutes;
or, if the fish is very large, half an hour
Serve with melted, butter, parsley and
slices of hard-boiled egg3.
Rte Bread. Into two quarts of flour
stir half a coffee-cupful of yeast, a tea
spoonful of salt and enough waim water
to moisten the Hour, making a tincK
batter. Let it rise over night; in the
morning stir it again; then put into pans
without kneading, making it quite soft.
Let it rise till very lighC then bake an
hour in a moderately heated oven. This
bread makes a pleasant change from
wheat; and when the slices are toasted
and spread with butter they are really as
delicious as healthful.
TnE best remedy for cold feet is to dip
them every night and morning in a basin
of cold water, and afterward rub them
dry with a coarse towel. To harden the
feet, tannic acid has been used with suc
cess. Employ it in the proportion of five
grains to a fluid ounce of water. To cor
rect offensive smell of the feet, bathe
them in a weak solution of permanganate
of potassa; one scruple to eight ounces of
water. For absorbing excessive perspira
tion of the feet, mix together seven
ounces of the carhmate of magnesia, two
ounces of powdered calcined alum, seven
ounces of orris root, and half a dram of
powdered Cloves. Medical Journal.
Sponge Roll. Two eggs whites and
yolks beaten separately two cups of
flour, one of sugar, finely powdered ; one
half teacup soiir cream, mix; then add
one small half teaspoonful of soda dis
solved in warm water. Bake in square
iron or tin pans (the smaller bake-pans
belonging to a stove are suitable), with
the heat applied principally to the bot
tom. When done, loosen the cake, but
do not remove it from the pan. Then
spread on jam, marmalade, jelly, or any
thing of the kind. Begin atone end and
roll the whole cake as tightly as possible,
and transfer it to the plate. Eaten cold
with hot sauce it makes a rich and excel
lent dessert.
to those two sprains. That was done. I
told him that the best plan of treatment
would consist in the application of moxas,
and that they produced the most painful
kind of irritation of the 6kin that we
knew. I had to submit him to the mar
tyrdom of the greatest suffering that can
be afflicted on mortal man. I burned
him with the first moxa. I had the hope
that after the first application he would
submit to the use of chloroform ; but for
five times after that he was burned in the
same way, and refused to take chloro
form. I have never seen a patient who
submitted to such treatment in that way.
I cannot conceive that it wa3 from mere
heroism that he did it. The real explana
tion was this: Heaps of abuse had been
thrown upon him. lie was considered as
amusing himself in Paris; as pretending
to be ill. In fact, he wanted to get well
and go home as quickly as possible. A
few days were of great importance to him.
And so he passed through that terrible
suffering the greatest that I have ever
inflicted upon any being, be it man or
animal."
Early Melons.
Gardeners generally find it difficult to
get as tarly melons as they would like,
for. the reason that they will not bear
transplanting. I have tried a way by
which they can be started early and trans
planted when wanted. Save all the paste
board collar boxes and fill them with the
best soil. Any kind of boxes will do ;
they can be made of wood with bottoms
tacked on. After warming the soil, plant
the seed, about five to the box. They can
now be sunk in the hot-bed, or, if you do
not " have one, they can be kept in the
house by the stove. When the young
plants are large enough they can be trans
planted. After making the ground mel
low, make a hole the Size of the box ;
then slip out the bottom and the earth
with the plants will slip through without
being disturbed. This plan will do for
other plants besides melons, as cucum
bers, etc., the tender egg plant and some
varieties of flowers. By starting plants
early in this way several weeks can be
gained. Cor. Prairie Farmer.

How Death Supports Life.
Is 1870 there were in the United States
1,996 professional undertakers, of whom
twenty were women. The deaths in that
time were 200,673, so that to the average
undertaker there fell 131 cases. Besides
the undertakers there were 2,365 coffin
makers, who, of course, depend upon the
undertakers for sales. These classes to
gether make 4,361 persons who lived by
the deaths of 260,673 persons. Doctors
and dressmakers aside, therefore, under
our present methods, about 60 deaths
avail to keep one person alive for a year,
or one dead body is a guaranty of six
days' sustenance to one person, or one
day's support for six persons. Or, to take
another view of the case, if each of these
bodies were allowed a full-sized grave,
the whole would occupy but about 202
acres, and each of those acres would sup
port about twenty two persons for a year,
which is a better yield than that of the
best wheat "field. Now it is very hard to
see how death can be more liberally
utilized than it is under the present
system. As was said, by every one that
dies 6ix live, and that, too, exclusive of
shroud-makers, trimmers, milliners,
dressmakers, livery men, and others who
make their appearance at or send their
wares to the house of mourning. If the
cremators should establish their methods
several of these classes would be without
vocation save as they cried out against
the change. The undertaker should re
solve himself into a monopoly, and bury-
'ng would be done by the gross at a con-
renient season, the coffin would be abolish
ed, and 2,36.5 persons at once thrown out
oi employment, while under the new
regime people would lose the satisfaction
that the present contemplation of post
mortem utility might afford. That in our
national poetry we should have to sub
stitute the " hot, hot urn" for the " cold,
cold grave" is only one instance of the
subversion of ideas that would follow.
Hartford Courant.
The number of deaths from accidents
in New York city, according to the statis
tics of the Coroner's office, during the
past year has been 862, of which no
lewer than 126 were caused by the vic-ci
tims having been run over by cars of va
rious descriptions. Steam cars within
the city limits killed thirty-six.
Economy.
One of the hardest lessons in life for
vounsr people to learn is to practice econ
omy. It is a harder duty for ayoungman
to accumulate and save his first thousand
dollars than his next ten thousand. A
man can be economical without being
mean, and it is one ot his most solemn
duties to lay up sufficient in his days of
strength and prosperity to provide for
himself and those who are or may be de
pendent upon him in days of sickness or
misfortune. Extravagance is one of the
greatest evils of the present age. It is
undermining and overturning the loftiest
and best principles that should be re
tained and held sacred in societv. It is
annually sending thousands of young
men and young women to ruin and mis-
lortune.
Cultivate, then, sober and industrious
habits; acquire the art of putting a little
aside every day for your future necessi
ties; avoid all unnecessary and foolish
expenditures. Spend your time only in
such a manner as shall bring you profit
and enjoyment, and your money for such
things as you actually need for your com
fort and happiness, and you will prosper
in your lives, your business, and will win
ana retain the respect and honor of all
worthy and substantial people. Our Fire

In the course of a recent lecture in Bos
ton, on "Nervous Force," Dr. Brown-
Sequard said : " When, in 1857, 1 saw Mr.
Charles Sumner for the first time, he had,
as you know, received a terrible blow
upon the head. His spine as he wa9 sit
ting had been ben, in two places, the
cranium lortunately resisting. Ihis bend
ing of the spine in two places had pro
duced there the effects of a sprain. When
saw him in Paris he had recovered
altogether from the first effects of the
blow. He suffered only from the two
sprains of the spine and, perhaps, a slight
irritation of the spinal cord itself, lie
had two troubles at that time. One was
that he could not make use of his brain at
all. lie could not read a newspaper;
could not write a letter. He was in a
frightful state as regards the activity of
the mind, as every etlort there was most
painful to him. It seemed to him at
times as if his head would burst ; there
seemed to be some great force within
pushing the pieces away from one another.
Any emotion was painful to him. Even
m conversation, anything that called lor
depth of thought or feeling caused him
sutlenng, so that we had to be very care
ful with him. He had another trouble
resulting from the sprain which was at
the level of the lowest dorsal vertebra.
The irritation produced was intense and
the result very painful. When he tried to
move forward he was compelled to push
one loot slowly and gently lorwaru but a
few inches, and then drag the other foot to a
level with the first, holding his back at the
same time to diminish the pain that he had
mere, it nad been thought that lie was
paralyzed in the lower limbs, and that he
had disease of the brain, and the disease
oi tne brain was construed as being the
cause of this paralysis of the lower limbs.
Fortunately the discovery made of what
we can tne vasa-motor nervous system led
me at once to the conclusion that he had
no disease of the brain and had no paral
ysis. He had only an irritation of those
vasa-motor nerves, resulting from the
upper strain in the spine. That irrita
tion was the cause of the whole mischief
as regards the function of the brain. The
other sprain caused the pain which gave
the appearance of paralysis. What was
to be done was to apply counter-irritants

The Organ as a household instrument
has been rapidly growing in favor, and

A Knoxttlle reporter records a case in
which a man 44 was followed by a result
less shot from the officer's revolver." The
state of mind of a person pursued by a

on an eight-story building; but we sup
pose that only the fugitive himself can
know what it really is. Courier-Journal.

Vinegar Candy. One cup white
sugar: one-half cup vinegar; boil till it
crisps in cold water. This makes an ex
cellent candy, and something beneficial
also, as it is good lor colds. It the vine

and some water, but lor us tne strengtn ot
the vinegar never hurt. When done pour
out on buttered plates, and either mark
off in squares an inch or two wide, as it
cools, or else, when cool enough to han

then cut it into sticks.

When ant antidote or remedy for any
particular class of disease obtains a wide
spreading notoriety, it is but reasonable
to suppose that it must merit the popular
ity it receives. It is within our province
to mention that Dr. J. Walker's Uali-
fornia Vinegar Bitters, so long and
favorably known as the safest and most
reliable remedial acrent for the cure of
Lnver, Kidney, Bladder and Glandular
Diseases, Mental and Physical Debility,
and all complaints emanating from a cor
rupt state ot the blood, etc., are in erea.
demand. So satisfied are we of the in
trinsic worth of this medicine that we do
not hesitate to notice it in our columns.
It is well to mention that this medicine is
compounded of roots, herbs and flowers
of California, and has no fiery material or
alcohol used in its preparation. We can
add no better eulogmm than the fact that
we use it constantly in our own family.
and each member thereof partakes of it,
