Shocking the COaehman.

In front of the Chestnut Street Opera
house last night was handsome private
equipage. The horses, which were
clipped bays, were so restless that the
coachman had to stand at their heads
to soothe them.
Why don't you tame them horses?"
asked reserve officer
Tame emf retorted the coach
man. They're just as tame as kittens
now. They're just playful. that's all.
They'll mind me like soldiers. Now
look how they'll mind me.
The coachman stepped into the street
i'll front of the horses and held up his
hand, with finger raised. The horses
pricked up their ears and looked at
him.
Dick! john Attention. he said, and
the horses trembled with pleasure.
Forward, mar
Before he could finish the command the
bays had leaped forward and the tongue
of the carriage striking him in the pit
of the stomach sent him staggering
down on the street.
whoa cried the coachman and the
policeman simultaneously, and the
horses stopped to rise on their hind
legs.
1t was apparent from the way the
coachman held himself when he got up
that he had received a painful and
mortifying shock, - Philadelphia Times

AN OLD MANS TERRIBLE FATE.

An Aged Farmer, Accused of Incest,
Dragged from His Bed at Midnight,
Hurried to Tree, and Left Hanging.
DIES MONIES, Ia, April 28.-For some
years past Hiram Jefferson lived on farm
near Audubon, Audubon County, with his
family, consisting of one son, Cicero, and
three daughters. The Oldest daughter is
married, and with her husband, john
Smythe, lives in Carroll County, a dozen
miles from her parents. The family
is not regarded as of very high order mem
tally, but Jefferson was thought to be strict
ly honorable by his neighbors. Some time
since Smythe, the son-in-law, charged Jell-
erson with incest with his youngest daugh-
ter The story was not much credited by
the neighbors. The girl went to live with
Smythe. Cicero, the son, also went ia
Smythe's, leaving Jefferson and his wife
alone
About two o'clock Saturday morning Mrs.
Jefferson was awakened by her husband ex
claiming: "What are you here for, Cicero?n
She looked and said: tIt is not Cicero, but
John Smythe." She was on the front side
of the bed, and Jefferson was hauled ovel
her to the door, bringing her with him,
Sne railing Denoatn. A rope was pul
around the old mans neck She
screamed. One of the three assailantS
warned her to keep quiet or they would
serve her in the same way. The old man
was dragged out, leaving broad furrow on
the ground, to tree four hundred yards
away, where the rope was attached to
limb his toes barely touching the ground,
and he was left to choke to death.
Mrs. Jefferson, as soon as she dared went
to A. ID. Petty's, less than quarter of
mile off, and appraised him, but he waited
till daylight before he stirred, and Mrs.
Jefferson went home Petty aroused the
neighbors, and when they reached the
tree found Jefferson naked and dead.
The Sheriff and Coroner were notified. The
verdict at the inquest was that Jell.
erson had been murdered by
his son Cicero, Smythe, the son-in-law,
and party unknown. The Sheriff at once
departed for Carroll County, where he ar
rested the guilty parties. The verdict OF
the jury accordS with the neighborhood
feeling and lynchings may follow. The
region surrounding this horrible crime has
been prolific of sensations, and it was near
Audubon that the crowd besieged the Polk
City murderers in the grove last summer.
Smytho has a bad record,
