THREE months ago a man nam ed James e

HENRY 0RPEN, a Boston boarding house
keeper, learned that two of his lodgers who
had roomed together had been missing eight
days. He opened their room and found E. c..
Marshall, one of the missing dodgers, dead
upon the bed, with revolver in his left hand
and bullet hole on the right side of the
head. In the room a large lot of burglars
tools were found also seven, crucibles, and a
number of precious stones taken from jewelry.
The police believe murder was committed in
quarrel over the spoils. The stones are
thought to be portion of those stolen from H

night of the 11th. sd
In referring to the conduct of the Czar of
Russia Immediately following the terrible ex-
plosion at the Winter Palace, a correspondent
says: Immediately after the explosion he as
sembled the Imperial family, and personally
assured them of the safety of the Empress.
Then, in a tone which exhibited more of pas
sion than alarm, he exclaimed: /" Great God
The iends have followed me even herel Sum-
mon the Guards! Close oil the exits !''
Then, almost instantly subsiding into con-
dition of the utmost apparent calmness, the
family knelt and offered fervent Thanksgiving
for their -deliverance from the terrible danger.
Some tainted, others wept, and altogether the
scene was one of the most thrilling and dra-
matte ever enacted within the walls of Royal
palace. e.- .r 6..-., ~.
NEAR Alton, Mo-, two tramps entered the
farm house of a Mrs. Beverly, and observing
that she was alone and unusually attractive,
they said "you're our game" and caught her,
but she bravely fought them off, and, as she
dashed into an adjoining room, they each shot
at her. She bolted the door and barricaded il
with bed, and then jumped out the window
and ran, leaving them battering away with an
ak at the door. When they effected an en-
trance she was two hundred yards away max
ing for neighbor's house. They again shot
at her, and were SO enraged at her escape that
they smashed everything smashable about the
house into kindling wood and then departed
People through the country should be pre-
pared to meet these kind of chaps.
A HORRIBLE wife murder has just been COM

a coal miner, named Osborne, whipped his wife
SO brutally that she was confined to her bed fol
Meeting her on the street the other day, il
company with little boy, an alteration oc-
Cured between them which resulted in Osborne
running to the middle of the street and getting
a stone weighing ten twelve pounds with
which he began pounding her on the head. Sh'
fell to the pavement, when, casting the ston,
aside, he finished up his brutal work by kicking
her number of times with his big coars

A CORRESPONDENT at Pittsburg relates tina
two attorneys in that city named Connolly ant
McTighe have produced q new invention 70
patent on which they have already made ap
plication called the telephote- telicon or telop
ticon. The practical utility of the inventio,
will be apparent when it is stated that the il
ventors believe they will be able to transmi
instantaneously, from point to point, any writ
ten or printed document, as for instance, on
entiresid of a newspaper. The reproduction
of the image is the resultof chemical changes
which ara now utilized in the science of pho
! Biography, and are perfectly familiar to al
/ operators in that branch of science and art. I
is also claimed that two persons conversing
great distance apart, will be able to distinctl,
see each other. -.
