Miss Pomeroy will appear with Charles

she will find her triumph.

Spades Were Trumps ana John Harnett
Held the winning Hand.

On Friday last difficulty had its orr
gin at the crockery store, $40 Common
street, between John Harnett, the pro-
prietor, and a man named Rudolph
Eichhorn, which resulted in the latter
receiving death blow from a spade In
the hands of the former.
It appears Harnett Ia the proprietor
OF the store, and Eichhorn, who had
just purchased spade, was passing by
the place, when he discovered Harnett
to be smoking and stepped in to get q
light.
After getting his light. Harnett asked
him what was it he had wrapped
UP IN PAPER.
He responded by saying q spade.
"How much did you pay for it," said
the former.
Eichhorn had paid seventy-five cents
for the spade, but out Of joke said, II
paid sixty cents for it," This enraged
Harnett, who thought that somebody
had been underselling him, and he
called Eichhorn liar, whereupon Eich-
born retaliated by applying the epithet
to him. The latter had hardly spoken
the words when Harnett grabbed the
spade from him, and with 1t dealt him
q death blow over the head.
conveyed to the Charity Hospital,
where he has been ever since. Last
night he was much worse, and the doc
tor said he could not live till morning.
This affair, by some mode or other,
has been kept secret from the police,
and the accused is still at large.

face of the aisle wall and in width will
be 48 feet. The chancel is a feet wide
by 20 feet deep and has nine faces. Be
low the octagonal angle rooms and be-
low the chancel the lower floor will be
separated from the Sunday school proper
and fitted up as a mortuary chapel and
crypt for the reception of Mr.. Stewards

design much care has been spent. The
chapel directly below the chancel will
be 20 feet wide by 81 feet deep, lighted
from the end by windows in the base
ment wall. 1t is reached either by the
sliding doors from the Sunday school

ceiling of white marble ribs and vault
ing. In the center of this ceiling an oc-
tagonal glass light will open to the room
above. In the center of the crypt floor
two stone sarcophagi will rest, their feet
towards the bronze gate at the entrance.
Upon the panneling and finish of this
room alone $4,000 will be spent. In

Mr.. A. L. Stewart will be placed, the
the other to be occupied by Mrs. Stew
art upon her death. In either lamb of

heap, and let all the neighbors know the
trouble, when most any other woman
would have quarreled privately. It is
case unique in history.
WILLIAM HABoRT, a locksmith of
Madison, became insane on the morning
of the 26th, and visited Lappert's
butcher shop, grasped q meatsaw, and
was about to make steak of heebutcher,
when that worthy escaped by the back
door. Mrs. Warner was waiting for
meat for breakfast, and Habort, seeing
her, struck her a terrible blow on the
head. Fortunately, the fiat side of the
blade struck her head, and the blade
was shivered in pieces. J The batcher
yelled to his boy to jump into
the delivery wagon and drive after the
police. Seeing the new move Habort
left the woman lying on the floor and
started after the boy. On the way he
met beer driver, and attacking him met
his match. The driver picked up stick
OF wood and struck the mailman on the
head. A blacksmith on the opposite
corner, seeing the fight, rushed to the scene
and struck Habort with his hammer
This did not fell him, and he was on
the point of pulling out big knife in
his pocket, when the police arrived, and
after desperate attempt, succeeded in
capturing him. The affair created
great sensation in the neighbor-
hood at the time, and sew
eral hundred people were gathered upon
the spot to see the encounter and its re-
suit. Mrs. Warner was not hurt severe
ly; a terrible blister was caused, but
nothing more serious. Her escape from
death was certainly remarkable.

A Carnivorous Bird.

The red-headed woodpecker is pro-
nounced to be a carnivorous bird by a
correspondent of the Naturalist, who
relates the following incident as having
occurred in Humboldt county, Iowa, last
summer: During that summer a
friend raised a large number of black
Cayuga ducks. 1t was noticed that
while the birds were still very young
many of them disappeared, one after the
other, and the, bodies of several were
found with the brains picked out. On
watching carefully to ascertain the
cause, a red-headed woodpecker was
caught in the act. He killed the tender
duckling with single blow on the head,
and then pecked out and ate the brains.
Though my friend was an enthusiast in
protecting the birds and squirrels that
came about his premises, this provoca-
ton was too much. The woodpeckers
were speedily shot" ..s

Two black eagles were recently caught
in the mountains north of Santa Bar
bara. The sportsman waited until he
saw the parent birds sailing down the
valley, and then robbed the nest, which
was thirty feet above the ground, and
was built of sticks, as thick as a mans
wrist. With some difficulty he secured
the young birds, then about three weeks
old, and of the size of large chickens
He got down before the old birds re-
turned. When the captives were six
weeks old they could dispose of jack
rabbit at a meal without Indigestion. A
coyote visited the house and destroyed
all the chickens. The eagles were then
placed in the chicken-pen, and on the
next morning the coyote returned to get
some more chickens. One of the eagles
engaged him in combat, and held him
with his talons until the sportsman heard
the outcries and shot the thief. The
full-grown birds of this rare species
