A QUEER STORY.


A strange and rather amusing sto-
ry is related by one of the inmates of
the penitentiary. He tells II himself.
and it details how he got inside his
present quarters. He is little Jew
named Berger, is quite young and
very bright. About eighteen months
ago and for some ofFense he was arr
rested and sentenced to work three
months in the city chain gang. He
stood it fol a month and disliked it SO
heartily that he undertook to devise
some means Of getting out. About
that time a span of mules had been
stolen somewhere in Weber county,
and our hero, obtaining very accurate
information as to the time of the THEFT
and a description of the mules, deter
mined that he would make use of this
information in order to regain his lib
erty- So he sent for one of the police
officers to whom he confessed having
been guilty Of stealing the mules. and
gave such a plausible account of the
story, that it was at once given to the
district attorney for use. Berger says
he thought that by this means an IN.
dictment would be found against him,
he would be released from the city
prison, a trial would prove his inno-
cence and he would be discharged.
He was right about the Indictment,
but when it came to the trial he was
convicted and sentenced to six years
in the penitentiary. He declares that
he never stole the animals and that
the confession was pure fabrication,
and concocted for the purpose men,
toned. His statement is believed bv
great many to be true. However,
he is gritty. and bears his imprison-
ment without complaint. He is quito
industrious and makes considerable
money in the manufacture of horse
hair brides, and is the person hereto
fore spoken Of as having cleared over
$500 since his confinement.

a New way to Treat Diphtherfa.

Minnesota Letter to the salem taraas.) Gazette.
Quite discovery in the treatment
of diphtheria has been made here. 4
young man whose arm had been am.
putated was attacked by diphtheria
before healing took place; and instead
of the matter incident to that disease
being deposited in the throat, the
greater portion appeared on the wound
ed arm, and the diphtheria was very
light and easily managed. Dir. Davis,
of Mankato, protited by this, and in his
next case Of diphtheria blistered his
patients chest, and on this blistered
part the chief deposits appeared. This
was also an easy case Of tie disease.
The theory of DR.. Davis is that diph-
iberia usually appears in the throat
because of the thinness Of the lining
Iof the throat. Hence, when the bis
ter breaks the skin upon any other
portion Of the body the disease ap-
pears there.

LEBANON, Pa. July 2.--This quiet
little borough, which of late has gain.
ed much notoriety on account of the
many criminal lets committed there.
in, was yesterday afternoon the scene
of another tragedy, inswhich a mar
committed suicide, the cause being
the death OF a woman with whom be
had been criminally intimate. The
facts are as follows: VIM. Williams,
a laborer about 80 years of age, an
married, and who for some time past
had been out of employment, yester.
day afternoon, while under the iniu-
ence Of liquor, called his housekeeper,
Harriet Peters, up stairs, and after
telling her be was tired of life and
was going to kill himself, suddenly
drew an old-fashIoned double-barrel
pistol from his pocket and pointed it
at the frightened women, telling her
she must also die. She, however,
broke loose from him, rushing down
stairs and hid in the cellar. Will
liams then placed the pistol to his
own breast, and fired with fatal effect,
the ball tearing a gaping hole near
the heart, from which he died in a
short time. He held his pistol SO
close to his breast that his wooden
shirt was ignited. Some time since
q woman named Mary Eckert, with
whom Williams had been living,
died, and since then he has been
threatening 10 kill himself, as earth
had no pleasure for him.
