A Farmer Robbed and murdered

A farmer named Klein was mur-
dered and robbed on Monday night on
the turnpike road at point called the
Notch, about two miles from Scranton.
He had been in that city with load of
hay and a load of potatoes. which he
sold for cash. One of the teams was
driven by himself and the other by a
young son, who was several rods ahead ,
While going through the notch Of the
mountain, six men sprang from tue
roadside and seized the farmers horses,
and pulled him from the wagon and
kicked and beat him. He begged for
mercy, but finding his pleading of no
avail for himself, he besought them not

Fowl Fattening.

I,ucy HOOPER writes from Paris to
the Philadelphia Press "The greatest
curiosity in the Jardin d'Acclimation is
the singular fowl-fattening machine,
which has been in operation for short
time, but which is a great success.
Imagine the top of q round tea-table
divided off into sections, with parti.
tiou between each section and board
In front with balf-moon-s shaped aper-
ture in it. In each of these sections an
unhappy duck or chicken is confined
by chain to each leg, and under each
is fitted tray, which receives all the
dirt and is emptied daily. Through
the centre of this structure goes q
round post, and there is series OF such
tea table tops to the roof of the build
ing, each with its divisions and its i'm
prisoned fowls. At stated intervals q
man comes round with somewhat
complicated machine filed with kind
of thin cruel, and fitted with pipe at
the end of O long India-rubber tubes
He introduces this pipe down the
throat of duck, presses down pedal
with his foot, and @ certain quantity OF
food is forced through the tube into the
creatures craw, disk above showing
exactly what amount of force he Is 10
use and how much food passes. This
process is gone through with each fowl
till all are fed, and it is repeated four
times day for ducks and three for
chickens. Two weeks suffice to fatten
duck, but three are necessary for
chicken. Apart from the necessary
confinement of the birds the process
does not seem to be at all cruel one,
as the amount OF food forced down
their throats is not excessive. The
ducks which I saw fed did not seem to
suffer in the least, and in fact when
they saw the man approach most OF
them became clamorous for immediate
attention, and plucked at his clothes as
he passed, with eager beaks.

During a Fire.

The New York Times in q review of
the Fall River mill fire, and after no.
ticing the means of escape offered
says -
At first sight, one would say that all
possible means of escape had been pro-
vided. Probably this was what the
owners of the Granite Mill thought
about it. But the inquest shows that
the fre-laddsrs on the walls were
scarcely used at all !; that the elevator
was soon stopped with the machinery,
and that the destruction of the only
stairway was the cause of panic that
drove the poor creatures out at the win
dows or back into the flames. AS we
have once before had occasion to say,
the distressing lesson of this calamity
is that no dependence can be placed
upon SC. called fire-escapes which con-
sist of iron ladders fixed on the outer
walls. If people had their senses
about them when fire breaks out, and
other means of egress are cut off, they
could calmly and safely descend by the
fire. escapes. They do not have their
senses about them they will not, or
cannot, use these ladders, and they per-
ish in the flames or precipitate them
selves headlong from the windows.
This was the fact at disastrous fire in
Center street, in this city, not long
since, when several persons were
burned to death, though an iron ladder
reaching nearly to the ground was with
in easy reach.
This element of danger, then, may as
well be taken into account by mill.
owners and builders. 1t is all very well
to say that the means of escape were
ample had there been no panic. There
aOaS panic, and, therefore, the means
a0ere not ample. A panic is precisely
the thing that must be provided for
One stairway Inclosed in tower was
not enough for the three hundred oper
atives of the Granite Mill. Sad ex'
perience has shown that the other anC
extraneous provision for egress are mex
to useless. In the best mills, We are
told, three stairways are built for each
and fire-escapes are fixed at each seven
ty-fve feet of wall. Men may use these
latter-women and children scarcely es
cape by them.
