CHEATING THE GALLONS Edward Parr,
who was sentenced to be hung at Philadel-
phia OH Monday for the murder of his daugh-
ter, took poison in the court room rs soon rs
the sentence was pronounced aud died the
next morning Parr had been for years a vi
client, lawless brute. His own wife died ear
" from his Entertainment, and before her death
he had debauched their daughter. This
daughter and his family he took out to Hi
nois, where he was convicted of his crime.
He came out of state prison to find his daugh-
ter married and living quietly in Philadelphia.
He hunted her down, and by perjured testi-
mony got her husband, an inotiensiye man,
sent TO prison. The husband out of the way,
he gave his daughter, and another younger
daughter of his living with her, no peace,
They went from lodging to lodging in vain
attempt to escape him, and at last, in ungov-
ernable passion over a final repulse, Parr kill
ed his daughter. Through the trial he kept
up II boastful bravado, ate heartily slept
soundly, and from time TO time used Ian
guage nconceivably coarse about his victim.
When sentence was pronounced he hastily
passed his hand across his mouth and fell
foaming. He had taken strychnine, dose
of which he had concealed in his coat He
was put in the hands of physicians, and a
desperate attempt was made to save his life
for the galows, but it failed. Several of his
relatives are under arrest on charge of fur
nishing him the poison.

A BAGrIPE AS 4 DETECTIVE For nearly
two years past young man wearing the garb
of Highland piper has been wandering
about in the coal regions of Pennsylvania,
playing his pipes in the street, attending pic
MICS and dances, and apparently depending
on his instrument to make him living. A
few days since he was playing in a mining
village on the outskirts Of Scranton. A crowd
had gathered around him, among them II
mine laborer named Brady. suddenly the
piper ceased the music and stepping from
the crowd seized Brady by the shoulder and
announced that the laborer was his prisoner.
At the same time ne produced papers which
he said We're his authority for making the ar
rest. Brady seemed entirely overwhelmed
by the arrest. and made no opposition to the
authorities when it was revealed that the pi-
per was detective. For two years he had
been on the track of his prisoner, who is
charged with having murdered wealthy
man named Findlay i'll Scotland i'll January,
1877. Brady was in the employ of Fiudlay.
Early one morning the latter was found dead
by the roadside his skull crushed with club.
Brady had been discharged the morning be
fore for drunkenness He had been heard to
make a threat that he would get even with
Findlay. He was nowhere to he found but
was traced to Glasgow, where it was believed
he had taken "A vessel for America. William
Male, detective, was employed by the rela-
tiyes of the murdered man to come to this
country and search for Brady, who, it was
thought, would bring up in the Pennsylvania
coal +, gions, where he had friends working.
One Of Brady's pcculiarites was his love for
the bagpipc so the detective, being piper,
adopted The disguise of "A Scotch piper, and
played about in the coal towns in the hope of
some day attracting the attention Of the man
he was seeking, he being sure from informa-
ton he had received that Brady really was
somewhere in the coal regions. The ruse
succ, eded after two years of patient trial.
Male is now on his way to Scotland with the
alleged murderer.
