\ NEPIIEW's CRIME.

Last week we mentioned the case OF
John i. Weller, near Havana, Ill.,, who
was found in his field wringIng his hands,
saying his wites nephew had just,old him
he had murdered his wife and iun away,
and on going 10 the house the wife was
found dead as the nephew had stated. The
nephew, whose name was Theodore Gard
ner, was pursued and arrested next day,
aud found with the house keys in his
pocket and $9i IN money. On being ar
raigned IN court he confessed his guilt,
saying: "She quarrelled with me and told
me to leave or she would shoot me. took
her by the throat and threw her on the
ti0or-and she was dead"
The judge explained that this confession
would hang him or send HIM to the penl-
tertiary, and that he might withdraw it.,
but he repeated three times that he was
guilty. 1t was decided to go through the
form of trial despite the confession and
accordingly jury was summoned The
man is very intelligent and is about nine
teen years old. He talks no English, but
there Is no room for doubt that he fully
appreciates his situation.

ANOTHER MILWAUKEE MYSTERY.

-
A few weeks ago we mentioned the
strange disappearance of the Hcnneke girl
at Milwaukee, II years old, and OF whom
no trace has yet been found. a week ago
Mrs Mary Nelson disappeared in way
no less strange and mysterious. Not feel
ing we'll she left her home with the avowed
intention of calling physician. She told
the members of her family that she would
return in a short time, but, so lar as
known, she has not been seen since she left
the house She did not call at the doc
tors, and her disappearance was as sudden
as though the ground had opened and
swallowed her, She IS described as being
about 80 years of age and very proposes
sing In personal appearance. The missing
womans husband says there had been no
family difficulty of any kind; that his
wife's home relations were of the most
pleasant nature, and that he could conceive
of no possible motive for her departure
nor of any reasonable explanation that
would account tor the mystery now sur
rounding the case. All sorts of stories are
told as coming from persons who claim to
have seen the missing woman, but in each
case the stories are found to be without
foundation.

On Tuesday evening George Trevors,
while gong through the woods to his
home in Douglastield, n. H., was attacked
by very large bear. Having no other
weapon than bottle of paraffine OIL, he
struck the bear and broke the bottle OF oil
over HIM. The bear then sprang on HIM
and commenced hugging him, when
George had the presence of mind to light a
match and set fire to him. In an instant
old Bruin was all in blaze and let 60 OF
him. aud in less than five minutes was all
consumed but the head and shoulders.
George then commenced to carry water in
his hat to quench the fire to save the snout,
so as to get the bounty. If Mr.. Trevors
had never before had any notable adven-
lures with bears, his friends might feel in
clined to doubt the accuracy of this recital
but when they remember that it was he
who recently rode home with two dead
cubs and live bear, paw clasped in
each hand, they will see that there is moth
ing to be surprised at in this his lates,
