SEEAK-THIEF AT CENTRAL STATIoN.-George
Morris a sneak-thief was arrested on charge
of suspicion of larceny at Third ana k1Arch
streets and had q hearing at the central sta
tion this afternoon. lie said he lived at Tenth
and Shippen streets, and at place in Second,
near Coates street. He said he had worked for
n man in Pittsburg, at house painting. He had
been out of employment for a couple of weeks.
The accused was very oblivious as TO what he
had been doing when in Pittsburg. He did not,
when questioned, know how many brathers he
had nor what their names were, and did not
they were.
II appears that he had a couple OF canvass
bags. which he had said were TO hold turnlps.
MIR Ehrenberg said that the prisoner came in,
and from his actions and that of his COM
panions, it was supposed he intended TO steal
something. Alderman Beitler held Morris in
3lb0O bail to answer.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY.
A Man shot Dead In HIS own Hous

A Man Shot Dead In HIS own House.
In the early part of the afternoon, a man
who had some cause of difference with another
by the name of Johnson, living in the lower
part of the city, in what is called the Neck,
went into his house with double -barrelled
shotgun for the purpose of shooting him.
He met Mr. Johnson, and pointing the gun
at him, discharged the contents of one barrel
at him, taking effect in his abdomen, and lace
rating it in fearful manner. Johnson died
soon afterwards in horrible agony.
The motive for the deed is not known. That
il was deliberate murder there is no doubt.
The affair has caused a great excitement in
the lower part of the city, where the tragedy
occurred.

Occidental; that Of being "booZlng ken" for

Missionaries have given the place the 'go Nv. Z"
