horrllik' mid briitul crime ever com
mitted in liny county eume to light yes
terday, when the dead bo-lies nf Mrs.
.liw,o Winner mill her two small chil
dren wore found ut their home, on the
Wiitkins place, six miles northeast of
tills city. The vlcti'murc:
Mrs. Ivti Winner. treed "!.
Clr-i U Inner, girl, aged ".
JVi.Ju Winner, boy, utroil H months.
Jlu Winner's body was found Just
outside of tliu house, with the. si till
terribly crushed, unci the. bodies of the
two ehlldreii in iv corner of this one
room of the. house. The chiltlren'ii
thro:its were cut. The murderer or
murderers nre not Known, but tin bus
bund mid father is in Jail pending an
inquiry.
The triple murder tool; pl.'iec sonu
time between 11 o'clock Monday night
and J o'clock yesterday mornhg. The
Winner home Is about linlf a mile back
from the county road, and wan occu
pied by .le.sse Winner and Ids family,
which" has consisted of his wife and
throe children. Mr Winner was not
nl home Monday night, ids wife and
children being the only ones on the
place. Some time during the night
sotno unknown person or persons
gained admittance to the lioti.su and
before leaving blotted out three lives.
Fiom the appearance of the interior
ot tiie house it is evident that it fierce
fight wail waged by the mother in de
fense of her .elf "mid her little ones.
Kverythlng was in disorder and a
hinkcu chain, besmeared with blood,
tells the tale of Mrs. Winner's resist
ance, for t lio bloo.l was hers, and It
was shed in battling with the mur
derer. It is plain thill before she re
ceived her ilcntli blow sho managed to
escape from the house and was fleeing
ncrosi the yarn, when Mm w.i? over
taken and felled with a fence rail.
Tlio blow crushed her skull, but to
malic sum work the murderer split the
woman's head with an ax, the blade
burying Itself to the victim's eyes.
After killing Mrs. Winner the brute
returned to thu house and It 1 1 led two of
the children, one n girl aged is years,
named I'lara, and the oilier u boy, 1J
months old. named Pearlc, by cutting
their throats witli a knife. The mur
derer not only cut the jugular veins,
but severed the f.plual cords of the
babies. Thu third child, which is dent
und dumb, escaped without Injury.
Mefore the crlmu w;is discovered,
hogs found the body of Mrs. Winner
nnd had eaten nil the llcsli oil her
head, leaving nothing but the .skull
with two ganlng holes in it.
When the husband und father was
Informed of the murder of his family
he appeared wholly unconcerned,
which seemed to create strong mis
pinion against him. Winner is a coal
miner, llo claims to base been In
Ulchmoud when thu crime was com
mitted. The Winners cnr.io here, nb nit five
years ago, coming from Tipton, Pauld
lag county, Ohio, where his wife
resided, lloth were well connected,
the having two brother-, buck in Ohio
who are considered very wealthy.
Thorn is strong talk of lynching, II
the crime is fastened upon any. ...

Ni:w Yoiik, Oct. .to. Wall Mrcrt to
dny experienced an nntc-clectiou twist,
In the money market which precipi
tated lively selling of stocks and caused
u lossof most of tho advance in prices
which lias occurred during the past
few days.
It lias been evident for several dsyi
past tiiat a good in.iiiy ticniil.- i i-j
tuklng Htcps to protect the i.st-ic'i
ugainst the circctsof a fr,-e siher Me
tory if Itryan sliould win in the elec
tion Tuesday. Tliis tendency showctl it
f.elf In siweral ways. Thero was an
increased demiind for sterling I Ills
of London, a greater inquiry lor
"calls'' on gold und n growing dcnia.ul
for gold to hoard. Hankers liavo tell
this movement through u loss of de
posits, und they luivu been com;,.'lled
to wltlitlraw more and more money
from the call loan market. I'orsc.eral
days call rates have ranged rallier
high. Totlav they were bid up to .10
per cent, and later up to 100 per ci at.
There were no great amounts loaii"d at
the hiyh rates, ami comparatively llttlu
exclti uient was stirred up by the ad
vanee, as it was in a mcasuic until!
paled. There is more disposition now to
hedge against a possible frcu silver wr
tory thu u there lias been at any time
stnee lust summer, when, as a result of
the transfer of funds from this country
to 1-kirope, gold was going out in large
amounts 'I he action of the syndicate
of foreign bankers in attempting to
Mom that movement, ami the favor
able turn lu the trade balance a llttl'j
later, which brought large sums of
gold to this country from H-.i-rope,
hail the effect of "quieting peo
ple's fears, and since then, until this

uneasiness over the election. Hut the
feeling has broken out again in the
last few days. Hankers here unite!

they could. Hut bnnkers cxcrywlicre
In the country did the same thing, and
tho withdraw-ill of funds from here by
interior batika has prevented tinv great
accumulation of cash here. It is well
known that many banks in interior
lties are carrying a cash reserve of
Ifty to seventy per cent of their de
posits. This sort of thing ha- kept tin
cash reserves here at a very low point
and compelled extraordinary conscrva
Usui on the part of New York bunks.
The drain of money to Hie country has
been so great that practically all of the
8ilO,000,0()0 which have come from Ku
rope have gone into the Interior. Much
of the gold itself went into the treas
ury, but the currency obtulncd lu ex
change went west and south.
The nominal broker's premium on
gold to-day was U0-i per cent. A
number of reputable linns aro selling
"calls" on gold, good thiilyto nineU

There was a good deal ot talk on the

London, Oct. 30. A special dispatch
from llerlin snys that it is understood
thcru that the proposed prosecution ol
Prince Hlsmarck's organ, the Ham
burger Nachrlchtcn, for publishing
state .secrets, has been abandoned out
of fear of tho harm such a step might
do to (Jormany's foreign policy. Should
Prince Hlsmarek, however, publish tho
clreumstunces under which lie resigned
olllce, the government will, it is de
clared, be forced to act, ami ll is said
will probably treat Prince Hlsniarok iu
tho same manner that tho latter
treated Count von Arntm.
Count von Arnlm was arrested In
October, 1ST I. and confined iu licrlin
for refusing to give up docu
ments sent to him ns umlia.ssador.
On account of illness ho was re
leased on ball some threo weeks
later, but waB again arrested, tried in
December, 187 1, convicted of making
Way witli ccelesio-politic.il documents,
hequltteil of other charges, and sen
tenced to thr'.-e months' Imprisonment.
He appealed, wus tried again iu June,
187ft, and n verdict was rendered con
firming tho sentence. In November of
the sumo year it was rumored tluit hu
was to be prosecuted for treason In n
pamphlet entitled "Pro Nllulo," pub
lished ut Zurich in January, ls-'GO. In
May, lhSl, he died ut Nice, as a result,
it was said by Prince liism.iroks ene
