AFata1 Practical Joke.

A practical joker named Edward Cole,
near Penn Yam, New York, was killed by
his brother-in-law, Pierce, Thursday night.
Cole came home and knocked at the door
for joke When asked "Who's there?"
he answered, "Your money, or your lhe:"
Not being admitted, he went to the rear Of
the house, and pulling off his boots he
climbed upon the she'd, and effected his
entrance through a window. Mr.. Pierce,
who sleeps down stairs, hearing him, cried
out Don't come into the house or will
kill you" Scizing butcher knife, no
started up stairs. Mr.. Cole all the time
keeping silent, stood at the head of the
stairs in the dark to receive him. Mr..
Pierce grappled with the supposed assas.
sin: and during the recounter cut his
throat with the butcher knife, severing
the jugular vein. The young man ex-
claimed, "You have killed Edward Cole!
My poor wife and children!" and died.
Mr.. Pierce is about thirty-eight years of
age, and one of the best citizens of Yates
county. Mr. Cole, his brother in-law, was
younger, also from an excellent family,
and Of the highest integrity. He and his
brother.in-law have always been warm in
innate friends, and their families greatly
attached to each other.

The Duration Of Life.

The following facts on the duration of
life appear in the Deutsche Versicher-
ungs-Zeitung: I'm ancient Rome, during
the period between the years 200 and 800
A. d., the average duration of life among
the upper classes was 80 years. In the
present century, among the same classes
Of people, it amounts to 50 years. In the
sixteenth century the mean duration of
life in Geneva was 2121 years; and at the
present time as many people live to 70
years of age as 300 years ago lived to the
age of 49, In the year 1893 the British
Government borrowed money, the
amounts borrowed to be paid in annuities
on the basis of the mean time The State
Treasury made thereby good bargain,
and all parties to the transaction were sat
isfcd. Ninety-scven years later Pitt cs-
tablished another tontine or annuity COM
pany, based on the presumption that the
mortality would remain the same as 100
years before. But, in this instance, 1t
transpired that the Government had made
a bad bargain, since, while in the first ton
tine 10000 persons Of ee ch sex died under
the age of 20, 100 years later only 5,772
males and 6,416 females died under this
age. From these facts it appears that life
under certain favorable influences has
gained in many and probably in all its
forms and manifestations. both in vigor
and duration To still further promote
this tendency it is only necessary that
those conditions under which the at
tainment of the desired end is possible
be made to accord with the fundamental
laws" y ,s.- .s .-

A Great Liar.

Two sailors, one Irish and the other
English, agreed reciprocally to take care
of each other, in case of either being
wounded in the action then about to COM
mence. It was not long before the Eng
lishman's leg was shot off by cannon
ball; and asking Pat to carry him to the
doctor, according to agreement, the other
readily complied, but had scarcely got his
wounded companion on his back when =
ball struck on the poor fellows head.
Pat, through the noise and hustle, had not
perceived his friends last misfortune, but
continued to make the best of his way to
the surgeon. An officer observing him
with his headless trunk, asked him where
he was going! ITO the DOCTOR" said Pat.
ITO the doctor!" said the officer; "why
blockhead, the man has lost his head"
On looking at it very attentively, by my
sowl," said Pat, she told me it was his
leg. but was a fool to believe him, for
he was always : great liar.''

A NanaeleSs Crime.

The particulars Of the commitment Of
the most. revolving crime known, have
come to light. On Saturday night last,
Emma Hoskins,. a young girl about Is or
l6 years Of age, daughter Of Edwin Hos
kins, who resides in North Minneapolis,
above the beer garden, attended the even.
ing service at Pilgrim church. She was
returning home alone, when she was over
taken by man unknown to her, who &C
costed her and offered to escort her home
The frightened girl refused, but the man
was persistent in his offers and forced his
presence upon her She told him shc did
not desire his attendance, few words fol-
lowed, and grssping her by the throat he
clnoaked her so that she could not scream,
and succeeded in outraging her person,
and then left her. The frightened and in
jured girl related to, her parents upon
reaching home, what had happened, The
bright moonlight enabled her to get a
pretty good view of the villain, and she
was enabled to give to her mother an &C.
curate description of the tiend. With this
in their possession warrant was sworn
out for John Doe, and placed in the hands
of officer Williams, WHO believed he knew
man answering to the description given.
Last night he arrested upon the warrant
Charles Peterson, Scandinavian laborer
who, for four or five years past, has been
employed upon the boom.
Since Sunday night the girl has been
confined to her room, as the result of in
juries received, and was not therefore en-.
ablcd to appear in court. Peterson was
therefore taken to the house, and had no
sooner been brought before the poor girl
than she identified him as the ficnd who
had been guilty Of the crime. There was
no hesitation in the recognition, and in
the minds of those who were present there
is little or no doubt of the mans guilt.
Peterson was brought before Judge Coo
Icy this afternoon and bound over until
Saturday next, in $4,000 bail, which he
was unable to secure, and was therefore
sent to Jail. The probabilities are that the
grand jury will take the matter in charge
and relieve the court Of any further actor
in the matter:
Peterson is a rough looking Scandina
Wan labcrer, who does not seem to be
much moved by the terrible charge made
against him. The parents Of the unfor
tunate girl are said to be highly respect
able people, who have not long resided il
| Minneapolis.
