!, Nam. Hair Turns from Gray to Red

lIILLsBoRO, O., Dec. ia peculiar case
oi changing color of hair is reported from
the village OF Rainsboro, this county.
Isaac Taylor is well known and highly
respected resident OF that community, and
like 4 great many other of his aye, is
blessed with an abundant growth OF gray
whiskers. A few evenings since, upon re-
turning from neighbors, where he had
been assisting in the annual hog killing,
it was noticed that his whiskers were d
very bright red, AMI vigorous applica,
ton Of liberal supply Of soap and water
WAS resorted to, it being supposed he had
in some way gotten blood-otf them. All
efforts to remove the red have so iaI
proven in vain, the only change notice,
able being slight fading of the color. Nc
one can tell the why or wherefore OF this
strange case, which Is vouched for by well
known neighbors and friends.

WATERBURY,, CoSS.. Dec. lI.-A. B.
Wilson, inventor'of the Wheeler and VIII
son sewing machine, who was sent to the
Insane Asylum yesterday, has become a
hopeless wreck in body and mind. It is
forty years ago that, us 4 poor mechanic,
he invented the machine which now bears
his name all over the world, and which
should have made him one OF tn richest
men of this country. Dissipation ruined
him, and for years he has been going lower
and lower until recently he had the ap-
pearance Of a tramp. He has been incap-
able of caring for his property, and his
fine residence in this place alone remains
in the family, being held in his wife's
name. His interest in the manufacturing
business at Bridgeport was bought some
years ago by Nathaniel Wheeler. His
family at last have found it impossible to
keep him longer from the asylum.

met at Bellaire yesterday and resolved to

A Bellaire manufacturer said to an IS-

conference would undoubtedly be granted.
The workmen say there is no Pitts

factory pays forall glass made, another for

INSPIRED TO KILL HIS FAMILY.
\ Dangerous Lunatic Creates n Sensation

Mt ancastsr, o.
LANCASTER, O., Dec. 1l.-Gottleib Steck-
miller, German butcher, was arrested
last evening by Patrolman Gottleib Juer-
guensmin in an attempt to murder his
family, consisting OF wife and three
children. Steckmiller went home in the
evening and announced to his wife that
Almighty God had commanded him to
xii! them all, and taking up 2-year old
child dosed it with liquor until helplessly
drunk. He then attempted to thrust it
into the fire, and succeeded rs fur rs sing
ing its hair, when it was rescued by the
mother, who escaped and gave the alarm
The officer above named reached the
scene and found the crank armed
with murderous looking butcher knife.
He only succumbed to arrest after des-
perate struggle, in which he was disarmed
and dubbed into submission. To-day, for
some unaccountable reason, Steckmiller
was released from the city prison and
abouta o'clock he went home apparently
sane and warned his family to leave the
premises or harm would befall them. They
did not await a second bidding, but fled
and telephoned the officers, posse OF
whom repaired to the scene and found the
object OF their visit stark naked, armed
with an AK, smashing up furniture, win
dows, ETC., in desperately promiscuous
fashion. Provisions, cooked and uncook-
ed, canned fruits and all the movable con.
tents OF the house lay around in all direc-
tons. The largest piece otthe stove found
was about six inches long. The mailman
was surprised, captured and again lodged
in prison.

bogus Gold bullion.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE Mint re.
ports that two attempts were made lately
to palm otfspurious bullion. An analysis
revealed an ingenious device for dealing
in gold bullion, The grains were found
to be nothing more nor less than steel
filings, and to give them the appearance
OF the grains OF the precious metal they
were covered with fine gold, which was
male to adhere by the use OF 4 compost
ton OF turpentine. 1t was ascertained
that the gold on the bogus grains amount
ed in value to about 81 on each ounce. 1t
is believed that some one or more persons
are engaged in the manufacture OF bogus
gold and disposing OF it to gold dealers in
the southwestern country.
