HUDSON, N. Y, April 90.-Joe Waltz,
tho murderer, who is sentenced to be
hanged at Catskill Tomorrow, killed his
keeper, Charles Ernst, in his cell at 8
o'clock this afternoon, by striking him on
the head with piece of iron, smashing in
his skull. During the past week Ernst

that he should commit no injury to him,
self. The murder to-day had beon com.
mitted some time before il was discover.
ed. George Olney, with reporter, went
to see Waltz, and called for Ernst. No
answer being returned they looked
through the cell Goor and saw him lying
on the floor unconscious. The officers s
revolver was found in possession of Waltz
The victim lived only fifteen minutes
after medical aid was summoned.
The prisoner manitests stolid indlffer>
ence as to his horrible deed. The excite.
ment at Catskill is intense, and at least
two thousand persons are collected around
the Jail, threatening to break down the
doors, and lynch the prisoner, The sher,
if is cool, aud determined to maintain
order, and carry out the sentence of the

Cutting Down Salaries.

The avidity with which members Of
Congress jump to the conclusion that
salaries must be cut down, and retrench>
ment perneate everywhere under the
jurisdiction of the Government, is remark
able. The agility and fervidness with
which they oppose such a step when their
own pet officers or their own interests
are affected thereby is likewise astounding.
1t is with difficulty, therefore, that the
chairman Of the Committee on Appropri-
ations succeeds in getting through the
appropriation bills as they came from bis
committee with ths estimates Of the De-
partment greatly reduced. lie is fought

Preventing Flies from Annoying
Horses.

According to Rochard, French yer,
terinary surgeon, a simple method of
preventing flies frsm annoying horses con-
sists in painting the inside Of the ears, or
any other part especially troubled with a
few drops of empyreuamtic oil Of juniper.
1t issaid that the odor Of this substance
is unendursble to flies, and that they will
keep at distance from the parts so
anointed. If this treatment should &C.
complish the alleged result, it may, per.
haps, be equally applicable in repelliug
mosquitoes from the faces and hands of
tourists and sportsmen when passing
through woods or meadows.

liant wedding, some time in last August
After tho honey moon and bridal tour was
over, they settled down, and the young
lawyer resumed his profession. But the
low drinking dens had more charms fer
him than the beautiful cottage home, with
its young ard loving mistress. who lavish.
ed upon him all the warm and pure love
Of true and loving wife to win him from
his downward road to destruction.
Friends tried to reform him, they even
elected him to ofiioo as a proof of their
love for him and his talents but he sunk
deeper and deeper.
On last Friday the 10th. the young
wife, driven to despair, laid down her
former weapons, the Bible and Prayer
book, dressed herself for the street, and
called upon druggist where she UNDER

prescription. She asked the druggist if
the report was true. He answered that.
it was. She demanded said paper. The
man of drugs refused She appealed
three or four times, but with the same re-
suit. She then slipped her haud in her
pocket, drew forth
A SHINING REVOLVER

as she emarked: Take your choice"
The man ofmedicines knew by those de-
termined eyes and" steady hand that there
was no time for fooling, and he surrender
ed the paper, and with that shining wea>
pom in sight, vowed he would never sell
her husband liquor again, even on pres
cription. She said "Mind you keep your
VOW, Break it, and here is my low and
protection Taking the. little weapon,
she called on all the druggists and exact>
ed the same vow, with the same warning.
She then visited the saloon where her
husband obtained whisky, told her bust.
ness the saloonist took the oath, but this
did not satisfy the wronged wife, for she
remarked, 'you have treated me gentle>
manly in this enterview but sir, | have
great doubt about you keeping your word,
for | think the word of man who wilt
stoop low enough to sell whisky to his fel>
low men is not worth farthing. and just
so sure as you sell my husband whisky
again ard | fud it out, just so sure will I
shoot you.' The dealer told her he
would Gil and sign bond not to sell her
husband liquor again.
The young wife, for she is mere girl,
has the sympathies of the whole city. Ev-
cry one speaks well of her and seems to
glory in her determination. Her husband
is a perfect gentleman in every respect,
only when in liquor, and for the past few
weeks that has been all the time"

HORRIBLE.
Murdered and burned

HoUTzDALE, CLEARFlELD Co., PA,
April 90.-It appears that the woman
who was burned to death yesterday was
the wife Of another man, and was living
with Pennington as his wife. Threats
had been made about two weeks ago by
her former husband to kill her, and the
supposition is that he first murdered the
three persons and then set fire to the
house to conceal his crime. A bucket
was found near the premises which had
contained coal oil, and it led to the sup>
position. Officers are after tie man.
The cororer's jury yrendered verdict that
the said Henry Pennington's house was set
on fre.by some person or persons unknown
to the jury, an6 that three victims were
maliciously burned to death.
SIX PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH.
PITTsBURe, April SO.-Early this
morning the house of John Hannct, near
Hamstead, about six miles from here,
was destroyed by fire. The entire family
consisted Of HanDet, his wife and two
children, hired man and boy they
were raising-six persons in all-were
burned to death. But two recognizable
bodies were found.
A special saySit is almost certain that
the entire family we're murdered, and
suspicious rests upon man in their EN-
ploy on tho place.

ruins showing that its throat had beenicut
PIrTsBURG, April S0.-Eyery addi'
