A Ride on a Truck
From the Kansas City Times,

A Singular Affair.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Z. 1t now turns
out thai Professor West of Dover, Della
ware was not murdered as hereto
fore reported. but that he murdered a
colored man who he hired temporarily.
and after the man was dead he cut his
hands and feet off and buried them His OBJ
.lect, it is said, was to make the authorities
believe that the body was his so that his
wife could obtain an insurance of S25, 900.
West acknowledged to an officer that he
had killed negro, but in self-defence
He is now in Jail.
A tragedy bearing some faint resem-
blance To the Ellis murder in Boston is
reported from England, at Crompton Lane
near Pickering, Il quiet town in Yorkshire
At that place is a small farm which has
long been handed down to succeeding
generations OF a family named Wood
the last occupant was Joseph Wood, who
with his son. disappeared last May, and
has not since been seen alive by his friends.
At the time Of his disappearance his farm
was managed by one Robert Charter,
4 cousin The explanation that this man
gave OF Woods being lost to view was
one morning, in the month specified,
Joseph Wood called out to him from the
bottom OF the stairs, before he was up,
two OF three times, Robert, we're going"
As Wood was an extremely eccentric
man, though his friends considered it
strange, they took no active measures to
lathom the mystery, Weeks passed, and
suspicious began to be aroused, which
Charter undertook to silence by means of
a forged letter The ruse didn't work,
and quiet watch was kept overthe premises.
The months passed, and at last sufficient
was discovered to justify an investigation
I'm the early part of November pair of
boots belonging to Wood were found in
corn-bin, then n pair of shoes A large
horse-pond was dragged, and tattered
garments drawn up. At last a cenched
hand was drawn up with pieces Of the
shirt wristband about it, In an adjoining
orchard under a tree, two human feet
were dug up, and in newly-turned
Water-cOurse Il sack containing the de-
composed body of = man, from which the
limbs had been cut, was found. These
various fragments We're identified as being
parts "t Wood and his son, and Charter
has been arrested. He has made several
different confessions, in one of which he
admits that he killed Wood, but had no
hand in the taking off of the boy.

AN EFFECTIVE FUMIGAToR. The Board
Of Health OF Chelsea have adopted u
method Of tnmigating infected clothing,
bedding, furniture and apartments, which
IS simple in It's application and considered
absolutely effective The process con-
sists of placing into a box or any open
vessel quantity Of dampened chloride of
lime upon which is sprinkled muriatc
acid. In the course OF few moments
chemical action takes place, producing n
dltfusve and penetrating gas (chlorine) =,
which permeates everything in its imme-
date vicinity. The fumes are rather I'M
pleasant, but are not injurious when taken
into the lungs in small quantities. SO
thorough is the gas as 4 disintectant and
tumigator that many persons who know
its qualities have but little dread in min
iStering to smallpox eases. The proper
ton OF chloride OF lime and muratic acid
used is about one pound Of the former TO

properly by this process the clothing and
everything in the room should be separat-
ed as much as possible and the room kept
closed for an hour or two and atterward
thoroughly ventilated. No fumigation
