years OF age. carried on the farm OF Jacob High

father and mother in the village. On Thurs
day morning he was I'm the field With colored
man IT work, when he saw hawk. and re-
marked that he would 60 home and get HIS gun
and shoot it. The colored man afterwards saw
him with the gun. but did not keep him i'm view
Directly report was heard. and, hooking In the

smoke from the explosion. sun not appre-
hending the occurrence OF anything serious,

young man lying Hat on the ground dead, his
gun 10y h> SIDE and fence near by. IL is sup

some way while climbing over the fence. acci-
dentalN diSCharEtng il. The whole load passed
through his iett breast, striking The heart and
causing instant death. The dead body was
conveyed 10 the parents residence. and then
enSucd another startling tragedy. The mother
entered The room. looked Tor a moment upon
the l1e!eSs form of her son. and then turning
said she ielj sick, and would go into another
room and He down. She did 50. and i'm ten min

alone could bc assigned as the cause OF her
death, as She had been in usual health"
THE LAST MAN in Gods world that would
have thought OF as doing wrong" Said District
Attorney 1eDney of his defaulting and runaway
assistant George W. HoNle. HONieS reputation
seems To have stood about as high in the public
mind IN Brooklyn before his confession and flight
as II lid M the opinion OF his trusting superior
officer. Yet right on the heels of the fleeing de-
faultcr come pouring stories of his dishonest
practices. some dating back ten years. While
IoNle was an assistant attorney for the govern
meni, marked for his bearing and habits and
complimented for his extraordinary Success in
The courts, the persons who knew these unpleas-
ant things about him kept quiet. Now that
HoAie is ruined the well-preseryed stories come
our. But ot what Use are thCy-nOW, except 10
paint blaCher the record that HoXie'S own hand
has Smlicled? Whether this belated knowledge
might ever have served a good purpose may be
inferred from the following: Ten years ago, it is
charged, HoNie tried To defTaud the Mechanics
Bank ia this city. He was detected. and he con-
fesSed. He made partial restitution, and the
matter was kept quiet. one OF the men inter-
eSted now says that any one OF those who knew
the facts might have kept HoXie out of the posi-
uon that he has Just quilted In disgrace. Yet
not word was said. and IoNic became a gov
ernment officer only TO have wider scope for dis
