The wife of Dwight E. Wheaton has disclosed the fact that her husband was the murderer of James O'Neill, the Chicago and and Alton engineer, who was shot so mysteriously at Bloomington, Ill., in December last. Wheaton was previously arrested on suspicion, but discharged for want of evidence. He was rearrested on the 28th ult. Temple & Workman's Bank at Los Angeles, Cal., was robbed by burglars of $10,000 a few days ago. The bank was in the hands of a receiver. Two murderers were executed in Missouri on the 1st-John W. Daniels at Warrensburg, for the murder of Jesse R. Miller, a Henry County farmer, near Sedalia in February last, and Richard Green at Kansas City, for the murder of Deputy Marshal Hughes near Independence, also in Febru-ary last. Dick Moore, of Louisville, Ky., Coroner of Jefferson County, accidentally shot and killed himself at Memphis, Tenn., on the 1st, where he had gone to witness the carnival. The Kaiser family of eight persons, who lived at Fish Landing on the Mississippi, 15 miles southeast of Waterloo, Monroe County, Ill., were all burned to death on the morning of the 1st, their house being consumed by fire. The family consisted of Moritz Kaiser, the father, aged about 50; Ellen, Kaiser, the mother; and John, Leonard, Harry, Edward, Tommy and Ellen Kaiser, children, aged from 14 years to 1 month. When discovered by the neighbors the house was completely enveloped in flames, and any attempt to rescue the inmates would have been hopeless. The charred remains of the victims were gathered together and buried in a single grave. In the absence of all evidence to the contrary, the Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of accidental death, but it is believed, from facts subsequently brought to light, that Kaiser, driven to a state of desperation by bad luck and improvidence, had murdered his wife and children, set fire to the house, and then committed suicide. Albert Young, Robert Jones, Silas Wright and Lucius Porter, all colored, were hanged at Marion, Ala., on the 1st, for the murder of Isaac D. Moore, white, in 1876. Ex-Senator Benjamin F.

He was in his 78th year. ### A TERRIBLE TORNADO A terrible tornado swept over a portion of Casey County, Ky., on the afternoon of the 2d. The house of Vincent Wesley, near Rich Hill, was demolished in an instant, and all the inmates, six in number, killed. These were: Vincent Wesley and wife, two grown daughters, a nephew named Sloan, and a neighbor, Wm. Taylor. Mrs. Wesley's body was blown 400 yards, and her clothing was entirely stripped off. The two daughters were carried 50 yards, and were found locked in each other's arms. The father and nephew were fearfully mangled, and all must have been killed by the first force of the tempest. The dwelling, stables and out-buildings were blown entirely away, the logs being scattered for many yards along the sweep of the tornado, and the hearth and foundation stones blown from their places. In the vicinity of Mount Olive, Mrs. Morgan, wife of John W. Morgan, was killed, and several houses were swept away and the remainder otherwise injured. Large trees were twisted from their roots and carried hundreds of yards. A considerable number of horses, cattle and other stock, and nearly all the poultry in its course were killed. The pecuniary damage is not less than $50,000. E. P. Bancroft, of Emporia, Kansas, formerly agent for the sale of lands belonging to the State Normal School, has been arrested charged with appropriating to his own use from $10,000 to $15,000 of the proceeds of such sales. He was committed to jail in default of $10,000 bail. A negro named Winston Anderson was taken from jail and hanged by a mob at Clarksville, Tenn., on the night of the 1st. He was guilty of attempting an outrage upon a young white girl.
