Another Tragedy at Powhatan.
A son SHOOTS HIS FATHER.

Only few months ago We chronicled
a horrible murder at Powhatan, and now
we record another shocking tragedy,
which OccArred at Steinersville, near
the former place. The murder was COM
mitted by a man named Benz. Zercher,
who on Thursday afternoon shot his
father dead. Ben is man unmar-
ried, about 40 years old, who has
been living with his father, a widOwer,
so years old, at Steinersville, about one
mile from Powhatan. The two men ap-
parently lived on the best of terms, al
though lately Ben has been carrying and
using in rather prOmlScuOuS manner
big navy revolver, and although he had
hurt no one yet, several parties narrow
ly escaped having their existence cut OFF.
The general opinion of late has been that
Ben was of unSOund mind. The old man
owned considerable property, and Ben
had been living i'll anticipation of the
time when it would be his, and he
thought the time was not far off, as his
fathers wintry locks indicated that he
W dS SOlllS lllc way VI dll nCoH' Dul lilC-
ly this bright vision seemed dispelled,
for his father had fallen victim to the
charms of a certain lady, and was about
to marry her. This WAS anything but
pleasant to Ben. and he determined to
prevent it by killing his father, and at
once obtaining the wealth.
Thursday afternoon the father had
filled il basket with corn, and was going
through the yard, when Ben met him
and told him to return To the barn. The
father asked the reasen, and for IA reply
received the murderUus shot. The ball
penetrated the breast bone at the second

AN exciting runaway took place on
East Main street last Friday evening
Annie White, miss of about fifteen,
mounted horse belonging to her broth
er-in-law, Mr.. Benz. S. c. Mcbride, In the
alley adjoining Mr.. McB's residence. The
animal got beyond her control in mo-
ment, and getting out upon Main street,
tore along the street at fearful rate.
The screams of the rider and the clatter
of the horses hoOfs upon the hard
pike brought many persons out upon
the street, but no one succeeded in get
ting hold of the animal until he reached
the vicinity of National Hotel, when
Charley Collins brought him to with a
whereas. Annie was thoroughly fright
ened, but had sufficient presence of mind
to take her foot out of the stirrup and
cling around the horses neck, like the
good little girl she is.
