[Johnstown Tribune,

| lJohnstown Tribune.l
One OF the saddest Of tragedies was that
on Friday evening at the home Of Mr.. Rich
ard Hothem, near Hillside, Westnuoreland
county, Pa. Mr.. I'll. 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, o and Ii
years Of age respectively LIN the evening
Joseph attended a spelling fsbee, z cautioninc
his sister Mary, as he went away, to beware
OF trarnr,s Az about O'Clock he started
K home, and az he approached the house the
barking Of the dogs alarmed his sisters al
Joseph was not expected back &c 80 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: ssIs that Won,
Joes, But he did not answer and continued
TO advance. The girl, now worked up to a
nigh pitch OF excitement, again hailed the
Advancing figure with, "aWho are you 20
Still no answer, and Mary shouted again,
lis that you, Joe?' and ran into the house
and armed herself with q shotgun. Re-
utrning to the door she discovered to her
surprise, the strange man standing on the
A'sSk'9S esAAS go oooA % SA0 appeared ne aQ-
vanced toward her. 'sStop,'' she shouted,
"stop, or will shoot you!'' He took an
other step, and at the same instant the girl
raised the gun and fred, and ne sank down
on the porch, grooming, "Oh, my dear sis
teri 1.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 1881 or 1862, picked up fortune on
the railroad near his home. He was
walking along the read and saw q
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 year diIigent
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.

The bullion from Comstock lode contained
70 per cent. of gold and IS per cent. silver
OF so-called base bullion. From Nevada 30
per cent. was gold, and of the whole product
OF the State IS per cent. was gold. all the
probabilities now indicate that the yield of
golu ana silver from all sources named for

dollars.
