A DARING DEMON.

Stephen d. Richards, the Ohio Monster,
Safely LODGED IN Jail at KeG.asey, Ne
Lraska-Per7ect Indifference as to- His
Fate-Stnrtlin0 Revelations Promised.
(Kearney Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
Stephf D. Richards, the murderer of
nine persons, was safely lodged in Jail here
last evening. Sheriffs Anderson and Martin,
who had him in charge, received a dispatch
east of Columbus stating that all was quiet
in Kearney. Later dispatches sent from a
trusted friend and received at Grand Island
stated that crowd was gathering. Sheriff
Anderson instructed friend here to be in
readiness for later advices, and afterward
ordered his boy to meet him with wagon
two miles east of Kearney Jrnction.
Deputy Sheriff Lew johnson met the party
at Buda Station, four miles east of here, and
reported that crowd of upward of two
hundred men had assembled, with what
object was not known. Conductor Kelly
stopped the train at a point two miles
east, and Richards was taken off, still secure
ly shackled and handcufed, and placed in a
wagon which was waiting, Sheriff Martin
and Deputy johnson accompanying him.
Sheriff Anderson proceeded to Kearney, and
responded to the rush of eager questions of
the assembled crowd by stating that Martin
had stopped off with Richards at Grand
Island, and would be along tomorrow.
Much disappointment was shown by the
crowd. While Anderson was parieying with
the crowd and holding them, Martin landed
Richards safely in Jail. Various parties, dis
cussing the matter about town, express
chagrin at missing sight of Richards, but
commended the action of the sheriff.
Richards manifested supreme Indifference
to his lot. He was perfectly willing to be
brought directly to Kearney Junction, and
said he would as soon die one way as anoth-
er. Col. Mosby, of confederate guerilla
fame, was on the train, and interviewed
Richards at some length. On his i'll
difference, Richards said that
for two years he had held
his life as of no account. II placed others
at about the same Importance as hogs" He
talked almost continuously from Omaha to
Central City, answering questions. He was
affabla and courteous to all, and had smile
m his features constantly. He talks of
murders as openly and with as little conceal
ment as of the most trifing matters. He
insists that none of the last five were COM
mitted III passion, but with motive which
he will not reveal, and planned deliberately.
He promises revelations in a day or two on
matters here which he has kept silent, and
about which he says he will astonish the whole
Western country as nothing has done for
years. The sheriffs believe him perfectly
sane and in possession of facts of vast i'm
portance. He slept soundly from Silver
City until he was awakened to leave the
train. All is now quiet here, the crowd hav-
ing dispersed.

YOUNGSTOWN Tribune.]
One of the saddest of tragedies was that
on Friday evening at the home of Mr.. Rich
ard Hothem, near Hillside, Westmoreland
county, Pa. Mr.. II. and his wife went away
on visit on Friday, leaving at home their
son Joseph, aged %, their daughter Mary,
aged 10, and two other daughters, 8 and II
years of age respectively. In the evening
Joseph attended 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 at SO early an
hour. It 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: sis that you,
Joe?" But he did not answer and continued
to advance. The girl, now worked up to a
high pitch OF excitement, again hailed the
advancing figure with, "Who are you?'
Still no answer, and Mary shouted again,
"1s that you, Joe?' and ran into the house
and armed herself with shotgun. Re-

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, grooming, "Oh, my dear SIS
teri "Oh, my dear brother, I have killed
you!" 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 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 $50 900 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 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.
A 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-
tectives
