THE BENDERS. | Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, “'Omana, Neb., July 7.—Old Bender and wife passed through Omaha this afternoon en route from Fremont td Oswego, Labette County,- Kas. They will arrive in Kansas City at 8 o’clock Saturday morning by the ‘Wabash route, via Brubswick. They are in charge of Sheriff Daniel M1. Bender, of La- ~ Bette County, who does not claim relation- ship to the prisoners. He is accompanied by Daniel. Condon, of Colfax County, Nebraska, who assisted Sheriff Grege in their capture. .| Bender was handcuffed, ana he thought it an- outrage. He didn’t have much to say to the “passengers, who tried to talk him to death. With ydur reporter, however, he conversed more freely. Heat times denied being Bender, butsaid he was McGregor, and that he was sick at Bender’s while the murdering was go ing on. In talking, he carelesly made ad- missions which corroborated his confession last night, and which tallied with his wife’s confession, as published ‘in Taz Trm&UNE this morning. He said he killed a drunken man in Jacksonville, Ill., in self-defense, and hopes to be acquitted. He imagines that he is being taken to Jacksonville. He was told thisin order to keep him calm, as he be- comes excited whenever Kansas is men- tioned. He wants to commit suicide, and asked for a pair of scissors several times, pretending that he wanted to cut ‘nis hair. He mentioned the names of sever- 31 persons living at Jacksonville, but didn’t seem to know any persons by name in La- Bette County. He saysthe Benders were bad people. He knew what ‘was going on at their house, but could not get away, as he was sick. He was afraid they would kill him. Shortly after this he spoke of the Benders in such a way as to include himself among the family. He made several: such bad breaks, showing that while he was trying to conceal. his identity he was. un- able- to do so at times. The old woman. unhesitatmgly confirmed all her_ previous confessiens, She believes she is going to get off free by acknowledg- ing ever hing. This morning at Fremont she was allowed to see her husband.for the first time since their confinement. She was surprised, as she thought he had escaped. When’she told him she had told everything he flew into a passion and cursed her fran- tically, and she ad to be taken away. He says he changed his name to Bender because hischildren went under that name jin Kan- sas. He ‘remembers Dr, York, and_called, him the -brother ‘of Coi: “York. He also spoke of other. .Kansas-. victims, . and ,again told: of -the murder at Jack- /sonville, Sheriff Bender says. that, while. excitement will surely run high in Labette County upon the arrival’ of the prison- ers, they shal! be protected, and if they are the real Benders they ‘will be dealt: with by due process of law. No neavs has yet been received concerning the whereabouts of young John, Kate, and Magxie. It is thought yy soine that, while the old man may really be Bender, he is not exactly of. sound mind, awing to the brooding. over .past crimes and a Se ee rltire a sociated Pres ee rig. & “est 88 esB.. é “Fresonr, Neb..

Dernort, Mich., Aug. 7.—On the night of Sept. 13, 1876, a horrible murder was com- mitted ‘at the house of Charles Smith. a well- to-do farmer who lives near Chesoning; Mich.” It appeared that during the night cer-" tain parties entered the house and murdered. Smith as helay in bed with his wife -and child, and then dragged the bleeding remains to the barn, which was set on fire and de stroyed, “The charred trunk was found in the débris of the barn next day, and sus- Picion led to the arrest of Smith’s wife anda- young farm-hand named Morris Alex- ander,’ and = Mrs, Smith’s sister and . brother-in-law, Julia and Free- man Cargin. The affair created the wild est excitement, and for weeks the newspa- pers-all over the country teemed with the particulars of this horrible butchery and the facts which were brought out during the Brogress of the trial. Mrs. Smith and young Alexander turned State’s evidence on the witness stand. Their evidence was damning. ‘There had been a quarrel between the hus- |: band and wife. The latter-was accused. of criminal intiniacy with another man. Her sister and sister’s husband came shortly afterward from New York to. pay them a visit. Mrs. Sinith intkamed their prejudices axainst her husband, appealed. io their cupidity, and promised that if they would as- sist in the murder of her husband they might set fire to the barn and she would pay them the insurance money on it, about $500. ‘The murder was committed wiiile she -Iny in bed with her victim, and the barn was set on fire for the double purpust of getting the iv- surance money and concealing the gory evi- dence of their crime. On testimony such as this Mr. ana Mrs.. Corgin ‘were sentenced to State Prison for ~ life, ing to “Jackson and the it House of Correction. Young.AJexander was xiven ten years, and $.

But we were all ac- cused of the crime, and a certain narty (Riv- ing the person’s name) persuaded me to make a false confession, witl the assurance that Iwould receivea very light sentence, and would soon he released to live with my chil-. dren.

I know that God has forgiven me, and what reparation I can inake by revealing the truth will perhaps gain me the forgivencss of those who are living.” Mrs. Smith then commenced sink- ing rapidly, and expired to-day. —— A MOTHER’S AWFUL CRIME. By Telegraph ta New York Herald. AMERIcuS, Ga., Aug. 5.—Webster County, twenty-five miles west of this place, and the scene of the hanging of Miss Susan Eberhart (white), In 1873, for the murder of “Mrs. Spann, is again the scene of a sickening trag- edy in which a mother destroyed herself and attempted the lives of her nine children. Last evening at 6 o’clock, Woodson L. Gun- nells, a well to do farmer, left home to in the evening, found his wife and nine of his’ ten small children in a horrible sleep from the effeets of morphia administered in lemonade by Mrs. Gunuells. There is no doubt that she prepared the fatal beverare and administered it to the children and drank of it herself with fatal intent. Mr. Gun- nells was warried to this, his second wife, avout seven years ago, and has by her four children. The other six are bya previous wife, and, as far as is Known, the step-moth- erhas been a dutiful and kind parent to them. Mrs. Gunnells was the daughter of Dr. Tullis, of the same county, and is from a highly respectable family. When Mr. Gunitells entered his house at 10 Jast evening with his oldest child, who nad ‘accompanied him on the visit, and thus es- ‘caped the fate of the: others, he found his the house in an unconscious condition, and their stertorous breathing immediately sat- isfied him that something terrible had oc- curred. He immediately gave the alarm, and sent messengers for all the medical aid in the Neighborhvod. A large crowd of awe-strick- en neighbors and several physicians, among the latter Dr. ‘Tullis, the father of the unfor- tunate lady, were soon in attendance. Anote in the handwriting of Mrs. Gun- nells was found under a morphia bottle on a table, in which she stated that she had de- liberately administered morphia to the chil- dren and herself, with the intention of de- stroying them alt, and that she was not actuated by any domestic trounle.. Owing to the lapse of time before médical aid ar- rived Mrs. Gunnells’ case was hopuless. She lay on her back on the bed in the unnatural sleep produced by the fatal.drug, and all efforts of the physicians and syimpathizing frienas to festore her were futile. The children’s case was not so hopeless, and by the unceasing efforts of the physicians some of them showed. si cousciousness, All of the stepchildren. and some of the younger children are now thought to be out of danger. The youngest, an_infant of a few months, was saved by the fact that its mother could not introduce enough of the fluid down its little throat to destroy life. It is probable that three of the children will die. ‘These three are presumed to have drank more freely of the deadly beverage than the others. > This unhappy act has produced the wild- estexcitement in the community, and the unfortunate husband and father meets with universal sympathy, Notwithstanding the statement left in the note that the horrible deed was not the result ot domestic infelici- ty, the neighbors think that the unfortunate fady’s married life was very unhappy, and that she determined to end it thus in prefer- ence to a separation, but why she should de- cide to murder her own offspring and her five step-children is likely to remain a: mys- tery. airs. Gunnells expired about four hours after taking the arug, in the presence of the entire neighborliog and will be buried to- morrow. ‘The suffering of the children is in- tense, and the escape of the five oldest is con- sidered miraculous, as they drank freely of the Jemonade without suspicion of its nat- are, Ars. Gunnells was about 35 years old, and a jady of intelligence. There-had never been the faintest suspicion in the family that she would attempt anything so horrible, and throughout the gloomy hours of the fatal night the assembled friends and spectators looked on the effects of her act in gloomy amazement. - The grief of Mr. Gunnells and the family of Dr. Tullis beggars description. Through the hours‘of the night their | lamentations were heartrending, and your correspondent hopes never to witness an- other scene like it, The children are_all | under 16 years of age. An idea advanced that the note found was a forgery is negatived by an aburtcance of proofs.. Many: lady friends, familiar with her handwriting, are positive that Mrs. Gun- nells wrote it, and thoseof the older children recovered suiliciently to talk much say that she’ made the lemonade and gave it to them from her own hands, But all the evidence negatives the idea of insanity, and points di- . rectly to a cool, deliberate determination on the part of a hitherto quiet, kindhearted lady to take away her own life and that of her family, and at the same time conceal from the world the cause of her act. @ HE WAS MURDERED. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, SPRINGFIELD, UL, Aug. 7.—William Lew- is, the colored man who was shot at the fair- grounds last night, ‘as noted in these dis- patches, died to-nicht about 6 o’clock.

A RIVAL OF TANNER. se Milwaukee Wisconsin, Aug. 7, ._ As the public are watching Dr. Tanner’s fast with such anxiety they wil be interested in the facts concerning Deacon W. H.

Just wwenty-five years ago now, Dr. Kit- tredge, of.the Madison Water Cure, finding the Deacon suffering from chronic dyspepsia and inflammation of the ii liver, advised his fasting as long as-he could endure it. Ac- cordingly the “fast was begun, and lasted thirty-eight days, the Deacon all the tims taking baths in pure water and drinkiag as much water as he liked; and: he sometimes liked several quarts a day, He never kept his bed—though at last he was potiged to'lie down frequently—but drove evtry day, and on the thirty-second day led the singing in .- | evening service at the Water Cure.

EAST-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS. There has been an increare of about 10,000 tons in the east-bound freight -business by rail during the past week. Large as this in- crease is, it is‘not by any:-means what it should be, considering that the vessel rates have largely advanced. during the’ last week or. two, which, has helped the. railroads. ma- terially; and besides the .new crops.are be- giuning, to come forward. The cross-lines leading to the East have so mucn to do that they are hardly able to take care of all the business that .offers, and .the Wabash: and some other lines are suffering from freight blockades. .The Western lines to this city have also done.a tolerably good business. Yet the- roads’ east—six - lines—have ‘carried during the past week but 35,000 -tons altogether, while they should have done over double that amount co keep even with the roads leading east from St, Louis, Peoria.

Not only will: they not con- sent toa reduction of rates from this point, but thereis strong talk.of another advance of five cents. Ivis believed that such ad- vanee would have already been ordered but for the opposition of the Baltimore & “Ohio. “he . rates from all other points are based on the rates from this city.

The -action of the Louisville & Nashville Company in cutting off the connection with the Chicago, St. Louis & New Orleans Kail- road at Milan’ does not inconvenience,,the latter road in theleast. It has formed con- nections with the Llinois Central, Ohio & Mississippi, and its.own line, which ena- bles it to transact-its freight business -be- tween Cinctonati.and New Orleans in much quicker time ‘than’ when it used‘ the Louis- . ville & Nashville as a connection. Formerly it used to take about four. days to take freight from Cincinnati to New Orleans; now ittakes but three and a half days to carry business through. The: war between the Louisville & Nashville and the Chicago, St.Louis & New Orleans is stil! confined to the. ‘passenger business; but, as passenger Tates have already gone about as low as they car possibly isvery likely that if-the war does.not soon come-to-an end, the next move will be made gn the-freight rates. The Illinois Central people, who own the Chicago, St.Louis & New Orleans, ‘say they are ‘not ‘afraid of a freight ‘war, as they. are in the best possible shape to make an effective fizht on that branch,.as. they own the entire line ‘from New Orleans to Chicago, and can make rates to suit themselves, while the Louisville & agenville in make rates only to Nash- ville: * ne cs e' an IOWA POOL.
