ATROCIOUS
Murder of an Kntlre Family, and the
House lturued With the Ilodles In It.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 20. It is learned
hero to-day that the family of o'ght per
sons, supposed to havo been accidentally
burned to death in Knox County, a month
since, wcro murdered; tholr throat having
been first cut from ear to oar. The family,
whose name was Poe, had two neighbors
whoso reputation was not of tho best,
and on this account tbey fc-bado thorn
entering their house. These neighbors, a
man and woman, though not man and wife,
bad an illegitimate child, n boy, about ten
years old. They lived rome thirty yards
from Poe's bouse, and becoming .enragod
because of being refused social recognition,
planned the damnable plot of murdering
tho entire family. Tno bo , sutlering un
der a severechastlsement from his reputed
father, now tolls the whole story. Ht
says his mother was talking about
tho matter for several days, and that ie
culminated during a night when Mr. Poe
was absent from home, and that whe-i his
father and mother left home for Poo's
house th y forbad o his goin with them,
but that ho slipped along without their
knowledgo, and Baw them enter tne house.
Tho family, all of whom were females,
wero all asleep in ono room, and his father
with a razor cut tho t hi outs of each from
ear to car, while his mother pick
ed the bodies up, placed them in the
middle of the floor, piled the contents of
two beds on them, and then set fire to
them and tho house, and that tho poor,
helpless little baby screamed until the
flames smothered it. Tho man and woman
have not as yet been arrested, but a
sewing - machine, bedi, aud several
other articles, reco;nizad as belonging
to the murdered family, were found
beneath the bouse of the accused parties.
There is no doubt of their guilt, and excite
ment has reached an intensity bordering
on frenzy, so that it is moro than probable
the State will be suvod the exuenso of a
trial. Further particulars to-night shed
additional light on the Knox County hor
ror, and mane it one of the darkest and
most damnable crimes ever commltt d in
the Stato, not excepting the Ashland affair
soma ycuis since.

First Anniversary at the Manchester
Martyr.
New Yomc, Nor. 24. The nineteenth
anniversary of the execution of Allen Larkln
and O'Brien, known as the Manchester
martyrs, wns celebrated In tlie Cooper Union
Inst evening under the auspices of the Fe
nian Brotherhood. George Smith presided,
and addresses were made by Henry George.
J. B. Archibald, J. J. Benlln, Hamilton
Wllllnmi and others. Henry Georgo said
that the Fenian movement gavo birth to the
land league which In turn gave birth to a
principle which ts now . sweeping through
the world the principle that the land bo
longs to tho people. "When I was In Ire
land," continued Mr. George, ''the best loved
of Irish bishops gent for tne and said
'what ts thnt land doctrine with which your
nnme Is lndlsnolubly United?' I cxplnlned
It to him and lie said: 'God bless you my
son. I have piled yon with question to
learn If you were a fit leader for the social
revolution that no power on earth can
stop."'
Mr. George continued by dorlnrlng thnt
the real canoe of the distress In Ireland was
Ihe samo as the cause of poverty and dis
tress In all countries, the fact thnt men were
allowed to hold the land on which other
men must live and drnw from them ail their
produce except enough to keep breath in
their bodies. Ho was loudly applauded.
Striking Field llanrt.
Nr.w Oitr.EANS, Nov. 24. The strike of
the negro field hands, Knights of Labor, on
the Falrvlew plantation, St Mary's parish,
still continues. Captain' Pharr, ownor of
the place, has the support of all the neigh
boring planters and an effort will bo made
to crush out the attempt to orgnnlze tho
.field hands Into the Knights of Labor. A
local newspaper which Ims generally been
regarded ns representative of the labor In
interests here, calls upon the Knights of
Labor to halt in this matter. It says: "It
Is entiroly unnecessary to organize the field
hands of the country Into labor societies,
even if such combination purports to bo In
self-defense. The purpose of the combina
tion of labor Is to offset the consolidation of
capital. There Is not in the lilstorv of this
country sn organization of planters or farm
ers which has the power to oppress labor.
In the nature of thincs such n combination
cannot be effected. In no other Industry Is'
there sttcli active competition for labor as In
tho agricultural. The sugar Industry pays
betler wages than any other agricultural In
clnstry In the United States, and lis existence
should not bo endangered by methods which
would Involve laborer and planter, In a com
mon ruin."
