Attempt to Cruelty Son and Burn
Daughter.


Erie Pc Dispa,eh to the PHILADELPHIA Times.
The eastern part of this county is in
tenseIy excited over the freaks OF man
crazed by religion. Sylvester Knott, a
well-to-do farmer, living in compare
lively isolated spot on the bank of Lake
Erie is the fanatic whose deeds are the
theme of public conversation. Some
months ago he attended meeting of the
Salvation Army at Franklin, where he be-
came greatly excited. Since then his
brain has by degrees grown more and
more infamed. and now MS frenzy knows
no check. For two weeks past he wan
dered up and down the lake bank, re-
gardless of sunshine and storm, declaim-
ing on salvation schemes. picturing the
horrors of judgment day, and calling upon
sinners to worship God or be eternally
lost. Yesterday morning he planted
a large cross in the woods upon which TO
nail his eight-year-old son, believing the
boy would be tormented in hell-hre for
ever unless he died the death of mankind's
Redeemer. With strength well-nigh SUI
perhuman. Knott held the lad firmly while
driving a large nail through the little fell
lows hand, unheeding his piteOus appeals
for mercy. The dreadful work was in
terrupted by some wOod-cutters who
CHANGED to be passing. Leaving his son
hanging. the maniac, first striking
down one of the rescuers with a hammer,
leaped into the lake. A search for his
hiding place proved fruitless. and it was
thought that he had been drowned. But
suCn was not the case. Before midnight
the crazy man returned, smashed the
door of his house, and knocked Mrs.
Knott insensible at a single blow. Enter
ing a chamber in which his only daughter,
Minnie, a beautiful girl of seventeen, lay
sleeping, he bound her, hands and feet,
and carried her to a lonely place in the
forest, where hundreds of cords of wood
were piled. An altar was quickly built,
and upon it the mailman secured his child.
Even as Abraham did with Isaac, will
l offer you as burnt offering unto the
Lord chanted the mailman, setting the
funeral pyre on fire.
The climbing flames soon licked the eX-
posed limbs of the girl, whose shrieks of
agony and prayers for more merciful
death were music to the madman's ears.
Dancing around the heap on which lay
the girl, he implOred the Almighty to ac-
cept the sacrifice as atOnement for the
sinful deeds committed by him IN years
long gone, and added fresh fuel to the al
tar. But help arrived in time to prevent
the cOnsummatiOn of the fearful design.
Two young men crossing the woods on
their way home from party saw a bright
light and heard the young lady's screams.
One felled the demented father, while his
companion scattered the blazing fagOts
and lifted the girl from her fiery bed. The
cords that fettered her limbs were trans
ferred to those Of the unconscious maniac.
Miss Knott is painfully burned about
the limbs, and there are large blisters on
her shoulders and sides. 50 awful was
her experience that the doors of an asylum
may open to admit the daughter as well
as the father. She raves night and day,
and it is feared her reason is permanently
dethrOned.

JOSEPH MEDIII. of the Chicago
Tribune, saws of Henry Willard, the Presl-
dent of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
who used to be newspaper man: 'He

industrious and quick to appreciate the

after a battle in Virginia, he rode at
break-neck speed to the nearest railway

horse. turned the animal loose and
climbed on 70 the rear platform OF the
train. The Chicago Tribune lost horse,
but got the news Of the battle ahead OF its

A CORRESPONDENT OF the Philadelphia
Times tells the following good story OF
Senior Lamaix, the eccentric Brazilian
diplomatist: In MontevideO, while sta
tened there in the diplomatic service OF
Brazil, he once rode on horseback into
one ST the city parks. The police attempt
eEI 30 arrest him for the injury he was do
ing t. the flowers, grass, etc, and ne COM
planned to the government, asserting his
diplomatic character, and claimed Immu-
nifty from arrest by the police. Ihen the
government told the police: "Of course,
let the gentleman do anything he pleases:
let him ride all over the park and do what
injury he will" and this sarcastic order
had the effect of making the eccentric
diplomat see his error, and he never at
tempted to ride his horse into the city
park again.

A YOUNG COUPLE called on the Rev.
DR.. Samuel E. Appleton, of Philadelphia,
not long ago and asked him TO marry
them. which he did. The happy groom
then walked reluctantly to him and asked !:
Doctor. how much is your fee" Il
have no fixed price, but generally receive
SO" was the answer. The bright smile
of the Jersey groom seemed TO leave him
then. but bracing himself he said "1Ou
see. doctor. am little short at present,
but would like very much TO pay you. l
am a bird fancier, and am importing
lot Of educated parrots from London.
Now, instead Of paying you in cash, sup
pose l present YOU with one OF these BIRDS
on their arrival?'' Il should be glad TO
have a parrot admitted the doctor.
well, it's agreed, then. l will send you
one in a few DAYS; but have you cage TO
put the bird inf'' NO, | have not. How
much does a cage COST" '-Oh, you can
get a good one for 81 50,'' was the reply.
DR.. Appleton handed the young man the
amount required TO buy the cage, and that
was the last he ever saw OF the groom,
bride. parrot, cage or the 81 30.
The amounts paid into the United states
Treasury as conscience money since 1861
aggregate 1856, 4j9 Of. A Treasury officer
says that the payments are made in every
conceivable way-by means of registered
letters signed with fictitious names, by
various forms of commercial paper, and
through the priests and pastors of the
conscience-stricken persons. They almost
invariably take great pains to conceal
their identity. though a few boldly write
the circumstances of their becoming in
debted to the government. Not long ago
a letter accompanied by money was re-
ceived at the department in which the
sender wrote that the money was due the
government as duty on goods that were
passed with a lot Of others by customs
officer who was bribed by an unscrupu-
lOus member Of the party. The largest
revenue in any year since 1861 through
contributions TO the conscience fund was
IN 1865, when the amount was S29, l55 II.
In 1873 the amount was $23, 302 y; in 1878,
$12.011 80; in 1882, only 1883 40; and it is
estimated that this year it Will be still
less. This decrease may indicate that
there is less opportunity or inclination to
steal from the government, or that men
are becoming less sensitive to the prick
ings Of conscience.

A Refractory Audience

\ very sad thing occurred at late per-
Torrance given at Laramie City. At the
close of the last act one of the principal
performers is instantly killed. 1t is then
the duty of the audience to rise, pick up
its umbrella and walk home. Sometimes,
however, the audience is not familiar with
the play and does not 90 home. 1t waits
for more death and carnarge before its
awful thirst for blood is glutted.
That was the case at Laramie two
weeks ago. The stage hired man, who
hauls the dead off into the dressing
waited patiently, but the people would
not 20. In order to get the fun value of
their dollar they desired to see the post
norton examination. They could not 90
home until it had been settled that the
villain was fully and thoroughly dead.
There he lay, with his ear against
kerosene foOtlight. suffering, at 80 per
week, and the audience absolutely re-
fusing to 90 home and allow the man to
revive or to requieScdt in pace. The cur
tain, though loaded at the bottom with
telegraph pole, failed to come down, and
the legs of the avenger and other members
of the troupe fitted past the space left by
the unruly curtain, and the dead villain
lay ON his back, having yielded up his life
four times that same week in the same
manner, besides carrying the heavy
flights of stairs for her in three different
towns.
As there were no programmes people
looked at each other and wondered. They
knew that this man was undoubtedly
dead, but whether the company had a
fresh one or not was the question.
Finally two adult members of the troupe
came forward and pulled down the refrac-
tory curtain. Then the manager advanced
to the front of the stage and in a voice
choked with emotion said
'Ladies and gentlemen, we would be
glad to massacre some more of our troupe
if we could, but we cannot afford it. In a
one-stand town one man is about all that
we can yield up to the cold embrace of
death. Our printing is high, and we have
to pay SIS for the hall. Therefore, we re-
gret to announce that the play is now
over. You can 90 home with safety and
we will attend to the remains. We have
every hope that the young man
will be able to draw his salary
next week, and that we may win him
back to JOY and health, lie has a
good constitution, fair appetite, and we
feel like trusting it all to the future. We
regret to see you go, but as the janitor is

ting pretty well along into the shank OF

hoping that during our absence the Lara
mic Opera Company will decide to assess
its stockholders, purchase some wicks for

misery and stick another pair of Overalls
into the broken window of the ladies'
dressing-rOom. so that the actresses who
visit your town viii feel more segregated,
as it were, and separated from the great.
