Lynched In Kansas.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa, Jan. 1S.-Intelli-
gence has recently reached this place
that George Pfeiffer was hanged by
lynch law in the State of Kansas, a
few weeks ago. Pfeiffer was raised
in the vicinity of Howard, Center
county, fifteen miles from this place,
where his father, who was respect
able farmer, died about two years
ago. His mother is still living to
grieve over her sons lamentable end.
George was married to Miss Relish,
whose father is well-to-do farmer in
Brush Valley. Some five years ago
he lived in the borough OF Howard,
in house belonging to Rev. Nathan
J. Mitchell. The house burned down
under circumstances which excited
suspicion, having his household goods
insured for more than their value. As
soon as he secured the insurance
money he left with his family for the
west. Last spring his wife died, and
he brought her remains to her Center
county home for burial. Last fall
detectives arrested him at DriftwOod,
Cameron county, on charge Of rob
bing the mails in Kansas, and he was
conveyed back to that State for trial,
and letters and newspaper publica
tions received at Howard. report that
he made a full confession to the Off
GERS who had him in charge, not only
of the mail robberies, but also con-
fessed the crimes of arson and muir
der, stating that he had set fire to
Mr.. Mithell's house, for the purpose
Of getting the insurance money on
his furniture with which to go west,
and that he poisoned his wife to OBJ
tain ten thousand dollars life insur-
ance which he had on her The prac-
teal business view the people of Kan
sas took of the matter was that ii
was useless to take up the time of the
courts, after such confession, and
Pfeiffer was summarily executed

The Harrisburg Patriot of January
% says: Mrs. Woodmansee, who re-
sided with her husband at Steelton,
purchased some arsenic on Thursday
last to poison rats. Mr.. Woodman-
see is painter and is absent from
home during the day, and his wife
took charge of the oyster saloon.
During Thursday afternoon Mrs. W.
spread some crackers with mixed poi
son to feed rats, while at the same time
she put butter on others, which she
intended eating herself She placed
them on the counter and went out OF
the shop for few minutes. Return
ing, she picked up one of the poison
ed crackers and ate it, supposing it
to be one of the lot she had buttered.
She was seized with violent pains A
physician was summoned, but the
poison had worked itself too thor
oughly into her system and she died
ON Friday evening, after great suffer
ing. She left no children. As the
coroner was absent from the city no
inquest was held. The remains were
inferred yesterday afternoon.
