mer. He paid no attention to the incident
at the time, but about 1890 o'clock had
occasion to enter Preschzka's room and
found him lying extended upon the bed,
the revolver, which was very cheap wea-
pom, 22-calibre, being found ne ar the foot
of the bed. The deceased had been for
merly in a picture frame factory but for
sometime past had been doing nothing.

wealthy in Russia, but was driven from
his native town upon six hours notice, the
government suspeeting him of Nihilism.

THE EMMA BOND easy.
lSDeclal Telegram to the Globe.
TAYLORyILLE, ILL.,, March 19.-The COM
munity has again been thrown into a con-
dition of excitement, the cause being no
less than the alleged abduction of Miss
Emma Bond. 1t appears that on Friday
night Miss Bonds attendants left her rest
ing quietly, while they were at supper.
A few minutes later Mr.. Bonds youngest
daughter stepped into her sisters room
and found the light extinguished and the
invalid gone. She fastened to her mother
and made the facts known. search
entered into by the entire household re-
suited in the discovery of Miss Bond lying
in an insensible condition not far
from the house. She has been delirious
ever since, and appears to be
under the hallucination that she is pursued
by masked men, who are determined to
carry her off. The affair is enveloped in
mystery, the members of the family refus-
ing to be communicative on the subject.
1t is believed by many, however, that an
abduction was really attempted, and that
the object sought to be attained was to
brighten the girl so badly that relapse
would follow, which would necessitate a
postponement of the approaching trial at
Hillsboro, and in that way defeat tho ends
of justice. There are others who think
that Miss Bond was laboring under fit of
temporary insanity which lent strength to
her freil body, and that she attempted to
fly from some supposed impending danger.
Miss Bonds condition tonight is very pre-
carioEs.
UEPROvoKRD AND FATAL ATTACKS ON BOYS.
PITTsBURG, March 1.-Two unprovoksd
assaults, both of which, it is thought, will
prove fatal, occurred here this afternoon,
and in each instance the assaulter and vic
tim were boys. The first case happened
on the South side at O'Clock. Two boys,
one named Wood, aged fourteen, were
playing game called 'cat and dog" when
piece of wood known as a Scat was
knocked over the fence into & yard, where
John Backsmeyer, aged seventeen, was at
work. This so enraged Backsmsyer that
he procured pistol and fired a shot, tax
ing effect in Woods temple. Backsmeyer
was arrested and the injured boy removed
home, where he is now, in a dying condi-
ton.
At about the same time several boys
were playing ball at Allegheny city,
among.them Eugene, ten year old son of
Capt. j. r. Grace, a prominent citizen.
Two larger and older boys, who were IN
known, came up and insisted upon joining
the game. Grace refused to play with
them, when one picked up a large cobble
stone and hit him on the head, fracturing
his skull, and then escaped.
