Alleged Outrage.

There is considerable excitement
being created by report which has
been circulated to the effect that an
attempted outrage was made upon
the person of a little girl by a con
ductor on the WadswortlI division of
the C. P. r. r. The young lady
is the daughter of engineer Hamil-
tou, who was shot some time ago by
his wife in Sacramento, and was on
her way east to join her relatives.
The conductors are investigating the
matter, and if the report is true it is
hoped that the guilty party will be
ferreted out, and that he will be
summarily dealt with.

THE LEOPARD BOY.

Prof. Fox Of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, In the lecture room of the
college, yesterday, tried his hand at the
show business The little negro from
BunneIl's Museum stood In his full reg
imentals on chair before the Professor,
while the medical students occupied the
seats.
.'Here, gentleman, is well-rounded,
healthy African boy" running his hand
around the barred chest OF the spotted
boy, "who has a disease of the skin--a
curious disease. He is partly white and
partly black"
Then he said to the boy: "When did
YOU begin to grow white In those big
spots on your legs and body ?"
81 don't know, sab," the boy answer
ed.n Smother said / was BON black"
"The spots," resumed the Professor,
with the air of q Snowman who has ex-
hibited living curi0sities all bis life, s'the
spots began when the child was quite
young, and they were at first only as
large as the head of small pin. Then
they grew and run together, SO that, ex-
cept Tor the face, you would think that
the boy was originally white aud was
turning black. He 10 called the Leo
pard Boy aud no doubt that is a good
name to call him by. In the dark spots
tlat remain on the flesh observe dark
rings just like the dark spots on the leo
pard. What causes the skin to change
no one bas ever found out. saw the
boy three years ago, and change has
visibly taken place. There is more

From the white skin white hairs are
growing, and from the dark skin darE

million dollars of revenue which is now

THREE CHILDREN BURNED
TO DEATH BY A FIRE IN
A READING SUBURB.

READING, Jan. 1.-THE dwell
ing-house of Wellington Moser,
situated beyond the Charles Evans
cemetery, near this city, was totally
destroyed by fire last night, caused
by the carelessness of one of the
inmates in blowing down the
chimney of q coal oil lamp to
extinguish the flame.
In the house at the time were
Moser, his wife, and four children,
Miss Sallie Rothenberger, James
Rothenberger, and a boarder, David
II. Maurer. The latter, noticing the
oil in a side lamp on the wall to be
low, attempted to blow it out in
order to replenish the oil.
While doing this the lamp ex-
ploded, scattering the burning oil
over the inmates of the house.
Mary Moser, aged thirteen years,
was soon cnyeloped in flames, which
were finally extinguished by taking
the child outside and rolling it in
| the snow. She is terribly burned
and will not recover.
Sallie Rothenberger clased an
infant child of Moser in her arms
and ran to the secondstory of the
building, which was soon in mass
of flames. Every effort was made
to get these two out of the burning
building, but unayaillng, and they
perished in the flames. Search was
made for the bodies after the fire
was out, but they could not be
| found.
The other inmates escaped with
few severe burns. After a long
search the body of Miss Rothen-
berger was found among the ruins
of the building this forenoon,
l'charred and burned beyond recog-
nition, the head, feet, and arms
being entirely burned off, leaving
nothing but the trunk of the body.
The remains of the infant have
not as yet been recovered.
Miss Rothenberger and her brother
were ON a visit to the Mosers,
having reached there about an hour
previous to the accident.
Coroner Kelly is holding an in
quest on the body to-day. :
The scene of the fire was visitid
by hundreds of people. The loss
is about 81 500, and no insurance
Mary Morse, the child burned 30
badly at the fire last night, died at
noon to-day
