Remsen went to the barn and there in the COW stable found the mother and daugh- ter strangled to death. The news soon spread and neighbers Hooked to the scene. The wretches had dragged their victims inte the COW stable and covered up the bodies with dead leaves. They then vent to the house and attacked Mr. Msybss and robbed the place of $1oo and two open faced gold watches.
 eeen seen around the neighborhood for some time. He is described as being about five feet six inches tall, and thick set, with full red whiskers and dark complexion. He had on stiff. dark hat and long, dark ovsrcost. Mir. Maybee is unable to give any description of his assailant. Coroner Baylis Is in charge of the case, and tslegraphed description of the supposed murderer to the New York and Brooklyn police last night. He says in his dispatch that one of the stolen watches has on it the monogram "L. M."
 A short, stout man of dark complexion, with long whiskers, supposed to be thirty five years old, and wearing long, dark over coat, black slouch hat and weighing about one hundred and sixty pounds, got on Long Island railroad train near Westbury, bound for Brooklyn. He had some conversation with the train hands. He said he lived in Troy avenue, Brooklyn, and had been work ing near Westbury. His talk aroused the suspicion of the train hands, who had heard of the murder. When the train reached Brooklyn the man hastily jumped of and ran up Atlantic avenue. Two of the train hands chased him, but lost all traces of him at Grand avenue. The police, on being notified of the murder, said that the description they had received of the murderer corresponded with that of the man who vas pursued by the train hands.

 A Gale in the FOrests-Tan Trees Falling
 Like Rain-The Thrilling Adventures
 of a Hunting Party.
 CONCORD, Nov. 1S.-'Fin" Butterfeld tells 0 thrilling story of his experience in the Maine woods during Mondays gale. He was on a hunting expedition with Smith West and two companions, and last Monday vas encamped at the head waters of Pleasant river, ten miles south of Moosehead lake. The wind blew some in the morning, but about noon the fun began. Their camp blew away and the giants of the forest began to fall like rain. Tuesday morning they started to get out of what vas woods when they went in, taking with them only their guns and blankets. The first day they walked nine and one-haIf hours and only made two miles and the second day in eleven and one-half hours they advanced only four miles. They had to literally chop their way out, and on the second day were met by . gang of men who had started in after them, but had only cut path of five miles ia that time. The scene beggared description. Men whose fortunes were in the forests were ruined in few hours. One man had four yoke of oxen and five pairs of horses at 6 camp in the devastated region, all of which had to be killed as they could not be brought out nor could feed be got to them. The party had an experience which money could not hire them to go through again.

The Migration of Birds.

'tDuring this month";" said an amateur sportsman the other day, 'ttens of thousands of birds are running the gauntlet of innum- erable dangers in their great flight to the South. There's quail" pointing to a stuffed specimen on bookcase, ''that came dashing into my room one night and was killed by the broken window glass; Hardly 8 lighthouse in the country but has been struck with birds of some kind or another and in many cases the light broken. On the island of Heligoland the lights have to be protected in some way, as the birds that slight there during migration are legion. have seen birds cut in two by flying against Q telegraph wire, and this is often the case in the country, especially with woodcock and quail.
 'sThe birds run all sorts of chances; but man probably heads the list as the most dan gerous of their enemies. Every duck or goose that crosses an inhabited place has . sportsman after it, and in some localities the slaughter is by the wholesale. In Italy the inhabitants take advantage of the habits of the birds to capture them in docks. Mir. Gushing, the sculptor. told me that while in Italy he observed quail brought into Rome by the cart load, and upon investigation found that they were entrapped in nets. The people were familiar with the lines of flight, and along shore placed nets that were about 20 feet high. The birds on their northern jour. ney were fat and heavy, and after croasine the Mediterranean sea always landed directly

FIRE RECORD.
A Mfdnixht FIre in a Hotel,

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 18.-There was an s1- citing fire in the American House at 256 State street at midnight last night. The oil room is situated on the second floor, opening into the office. A light was noticed there, but be- fore anyone could investigate bright sheet of flame sprang from the door and a moment later the fire had Rscended to the third floor through the skylight. The hotel was crowd ed to overhoving, fully two hundred guests being in the house at the time. A panic at once followed. The guests lesped onto the fire escape in undress uniform and made for the ground floor, one lady being among those to descend in that manner. Every window was filled with frantic group anxious to es- cape and for 8 few moments excitement reigned. Ross Jones and his son Judd of Burgus, Ohio, had room on the fourth floor. It was filled with smoke and they hung out of the window to prevent suffocation. Judd hung on until his strength gave out, when he fell on the roof of one story building. He struck on his head, but the slantinR roof saved him from fatal injury and although he wes badly hurt he will recover. He was taken to the county hospital. The fire was soon extinguished. The loss will not exceed $1, 1000.

on the sea-shore, often in vast numbers, lying of, panting with exhaustion-some actually breaking open with the fall. When sufficient numbers had landed, the net was suddenly lowered, and the birds thus covered were rapidly killed with sticks or switches; the net was then raised, cart backed up, and the birds carted of to sell at less than 8 cent apiece.
 sTarge heroDs have been found so strange ly wounded and singsd that 1t was evident that they had been struck by lightning Tn the air. Small birds are often drowned by being caught h rain cloud, or beaten to the ground"
 DO birds fly high during migration ?" asked the reporter.
 GAS 6 rule, they do" was the reply. ''Small birds have been seen through glass as high as mile, and this explains the supposed in- stinct in their flying with such certainty to certain localities, they recognizing the great physical features in the main and flying by them. Some of our birds reach South Amer iea, and the robin goes in the spring far into the Arctic circle. The birds that follow the sea shore have the danger of being blown far out to sea, during gales of wind. Everyone who has made @ European voyage must have noticed the land birds that come aboard the ship several days out to sea, often so fatigusd that they are easily taken. I have had gal. inule alight near my boat in the South so tired that it was easily caught, and made no attempt to ny. W16n C6SL away lQ CQlS man. ner they are in just the same box that 8 Mother Careys chicken or an albatross would be if blown inland, the latter not being able to fly from the shore. A fisherman of the Jersey coast informed me-" continued the naturalist, s'thst during heavy gale or squsll last summer several wood thrushes were beat en out to where he was, five miles from shore, and after vainly trying to breast the storm alighted in the boat, and actually flew down so that he took one in his hand, con- pletely worn out and drsnohed with rain and SO heavy that it could not have stood it much longer.
 At such times birds, of course, lose all their fear, and take to whatever they can. An old piece of vrsckags has been observed at sea with looms, ducks, snipe, cranes and num- bers of shore birds upon it, all victims of the same storm that had wrecked the vessel, all blown ont together. Many of our birds get out as far as Bahama and beyond, some ac- cidsntally and others by choice. The great masses of gulf weed that form what is called the Sargasso sea serve as @ rest for many birds the patches become matted together, and floating in the gulf stream are often pop ulated with an ari-faunA. Anything that affords support is used. The great sunfish that rolls to and fro, drifting on the surface, has frequently served as a rest for some wea- ry bird also the great turtles and bssking sharks. The rests may not have been of long duration, bus they suf6ced to show what birds will de when put to the greatest straits"

The Search for a Missing Woman.
 WAvERLY, Nov. 18.-Waverly continues to be greatly excited over the mysterious disap- pearance Monday night of Mrs. L. M. Sholes, wife of the deputy postmaster and express agent. No trace can be found of her move- ments. She has a good reputation. Some gossips forced stories concerning her husband into the sensitive ears of Mrs. ShsIss about two weeks ago and she had intimated some- thing about drowning herself. The rumors led to the supposition that she had committed suicide. The most faithful search has been going on to find her body. Parties of men and boys have secured the woods in all direc. tions and searched the river. Blasts have been fired at different places over the mill pond and river the whole town and country turning out, but without finding any trace whatever. MT. Sholes is 8 prominent man. The suspense is terrible to him. He was ont all day yesterday and to day assisting in the search. Two sons have arrived from Coun- oil Bluffs and Omaha and daughter from Da- kota. A large reward has been offered for her recovery, and the search will be con- tinued. There were no services in the churches to-day and everybody engaged in the effort to find her.
