THE COLD HILL TRAGEDY.
Further Developments NO Third
Party Implicated.

At the Coronsr's inquest Of Sunday
evening the testimony which seemed
to lmplicatc a third party In the TRACE
dy was that Of James Francis, watch
man at the Crown Point works. lie
said:
81 heard a woman scream, and In n
moment q pistol fired; ] went In the
direction OF the sound, and just A. !
got In sight Of the door l heard
another pistol shot; saw q man
come out; he was dressed In dark
clothes; he first went toward Nc
Donell's house as though ho would so
down the steps, and then turned PACK
and ran past the house and disappear
Cd from my sight In the dark.golng In
the direction OF the Yellow jacket
works or the railroad depot. lie came
out Immediately after the second shot;
I'm positive 1t was q man /; az any rate
he had OH a mans clothes"
It being rathor dark at the time, Mr..
Francis must have been mistaken IN
what he saw. There Is nc other evil.
dcnce duplicating a third party, out
OH the contrary, there Is every reason
fer believing that Marks shot his vile
and then shot himself.
The letters written by him immedl-
ately before the tragedy, some OF
which were found on his person alter
the INQUEST, declare and prove most
conclusively his intention OF first Kill.
lug his wife and then himself. He free
ly7 declared his Intention OF doing
so. came from Empire with that
intention and came within M
Of fully succeeding. He was goaded
to 1t through frenzied Jealousy and n
very Objectionable degree Of love. The
verdict OF the Coroner's jury was that
the deceased was a native Of Vermont
this was ascertained from his dis
charge paper, thirty years Of age, aud
"came to his death by a pistol shot
fired by his own hand"

Proper Times to Eat.

The wholesOmeness of food depends
nearly as much on the time it is taken
as on the quantity. We have grown
so luxurious in our physical us well as
our mental tastes that we are constant
ly tempted'to eat things out of season.
Yielding to the temptation, as we often
do, we pay the penalty, soon or late, in
temporary or chronic arrangement of
our health. The meat which is excel
lent i'll cold may not he desirable in
warm weather; vegetables and fruit
are nutritious when they are ripened
by sun and season, and not artificially
stimulated. Nature knows what she is
doing: she furnishes for every latitude
the productions tittest for such Latitude
We need variety, not so much at one
time, as from time to time. The deli
cacies of the season will not hurt lis ::
but the delicacics out of season GER
tainly will, if long continued. The
appetite so jaded as to crave oysters
in July, or Strawberries in December.
needs careful correction by the adop-
tion of the simplest habits. The palate
naturally relishes what nature has near
at hand. As rule, not only is the
simplest food the best food, but the
most Seasonable is. in the long run. the
most appetizing. There is no difficulty
i'll determining what we should eat.
since the products of our climate show

him other torcihlc expressions in her

latter. deciding that the case WAS with

the plcntitUde of his executive func-

strokes with Il switch. The Judge de

markable personal attractions phrase
Use as one being entirely new, and
one you never meet with in the news
papers. This young lady was beloved
intensely by five young gentlemen pas
sengcrs, and in return she was in love
with them all very ardcntly. but with
out any particular preference for either.
Not knowing how To make up her de
termination in this dilemma. she con-
suited my friend the captain. The
captain being il man of an original turn
of mind, says to the young lady, ..Jump
overheard, and marry the man that
jumps after You" The lady. struck
with the idea, and being naturally fond
of bathing, especially in warm weather.

captain, who had Il boat manned i'm case
of accident. Accordingly, next morn
ing, the five lovers being on deck, and
looking devotedly at the Young lady.
she plunged into the sea, head foremost
-Four of the lovers Immediately iumped
in after her. When the Young lady

Lightning Rods no Protection.

The most marked and instructive
thunderbOlt discharge brought to my
notice was that which struck the build
ing of Mr.. Rech. .on the southeast corner
Of Girard avenue and Eight street.
Philadelphia. This building was pro-
vlded with extensive arrangements of
lightning rods. 1t is gravel rooted, and
around the whole circumference of this
roof there runs an iron rod conductor
From this horizontal iron bar there are
perpendicular lightning-rods mt sixteen
different cqm-diStance places. 1t has.
in fact, sixteen lightning rods pointing
to the clouds. Upon the roof and cen
terlng on the avenue front edge of the
building. there stood flagstaff. \
branch of the circumfcrential conductor
runs across to this staff and up it about
twelve feet. where it ended and was
fastened to an iron band around the
pole. The thunderholt. in disregard of
the sixteen lightning-rods. struck the
flagstaff. and completely shivercd it
down to within four feet of the iron
band. and where the branch conductor
ended. Why did this bolt prefer the
wooden pole to the lightning rods
Simply because it was in the path of
the descending bolt. Now if. as is
claimed by eminent electricians. the rod
does its silent work of diScharging the
the cloud when it is yet afar off why
did it not quietly and deccntIy diSarm
