KILLED BY HIS SISTER.
JohnstoWn Trihuue.l


One of the saddest of tragedies was that
on Friday evening at the home of Mr.. Rich
ard Hothem, near Hillside. Westmoreland
county, Pa. MIR. n. and his wife went away
on visit on Friday, leaving at home their
son Joseph, aged %, their daughter Mary,
aged 49,, and two other daughters, 8 and IL
years of age respectively. In the evening
Joseph attended a spelling 'bee,' cautioning
his sister Mary, as he went away, to beware
of tramps. At about 8 o'clock he started
for home, and as he approached the house the
barking of the dogs alarmed his sisters, as
Joseph was not expected back ar so early an
hour. 1t is probable the young man intend
ed to test his sister Mary's courage, for he
pulled his hat down over his face, and other
wise disguised himself. When he was Within
few rods of the house Mary appeared in
the doorway and hailed him: "Is that you,
Joe?'' But he did not answer and continued
to advance. The girl. now worked up to q
high pitch of excitement, again hailed tho
advancing figure with, "Who are your
Still no answer, and Mary shouted again,
sis that you, Joe?' and ran into the house
and armed herself with a shotgun Re-
utrning to the door she discovered to her
surprise, the strange man standing on the
steps, and as soon as she appeared he ad-
vanced toward her. ''stop,'' she shouted,
"stop, or will shoot you!'' He took an
other step, and at the same instant the girl
raised the gun and fired, and he sank down
on the porch, groaning, sob, my dear sis
ter!' "Oh, my dear brother, 1 have killed
you'll the poor girl screamed as she threw
down the gun and carried him into the
house, where he soon died.
Richard Hothem, the father, is the man
who, in 1861 or 1862, picked up a fortune on
the railroad near his home. He was
walking along the read and saw a
folded newspaper, and on picking it
up found enclosed $4,000 in bank notes.
He took the package to an attorney and
sought legal advice. Advertisements were
inserted in the newspapers throughout the
country, in the hope of discovering the loser
of the money, and for over a year diligent
search was made far and wide; but no one
ever appeared to claim it, and Mr.. Hothem
eventually appropriated it to his own uses.
short time previous to the finding of the
money large express robbery had been per-
petrated near Harper's Ferry, and it was the
general belief that, being closely pressed by
pursuers, the thieves had thrown the money
from car window, intending to return for
it on the first opportunity of eluding the de-
toctives.
