Some Good Bulls.

A capital bull is related i'll the
life of DIR. Sim, of a countryman of
his own, for whom he had prescrib-
ed an emesic, who said, with great
simplicity: "My dear doctor it is
of no use your giving me an emetic;
| tried it twice in Dublin, and it
would not stay on my stomach eth
er time" This calls to mind a
story about a singer who, being
rapturously encored, repeated her
songs. A stranger who had been at
the opera was asked how be had
been pleased with her. Not at all, y
said he Not at all why she is
the first singer in Europe" THAT
may be, replied the man, ''but she
sung SO bad last night that they
made her sing all her songs over
again"

as "Omaha Charley" who killed
Hubert Kramer at Maryville, Mo-,

This the Sheriff refused to do, and
told the crowd that he would fight
to the last in defense of the prisoner.
A committee of three was then sent
to consult with the Sheriff. but his
reply was the same as before. The
mob then made a rush for the door
of the Jail, and, Notwithstanding the
fact that the sheriff fred repeatedly
into the crowd, dangerously wound

murderer and marched under cover

SIX PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH IN A
SMALL MINING TOWN.

PeTTsvILLE, Pa, December 10
Early this morning an engine crew
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, in
passing Trenton, a mining patch
half mile from Delano, discovered
q house to be on fire and gave an
immediate alarm. The neighbors
rushed out partially dressed, but the
occupants Of the burning building
seemed impossible to arouse. Just
before the blazing roof fell in the
head of the family was seen at the
window with a child, which he
dropped out upon the ground. He
returned, evidently to save Others,
and was not seen again alive. The
flames spread with great rapidity,
famed by furious breeze, and in a
short time three adjoining houses
were enveloped and all were COM
pletely destroyed, with their con-
tents, ali the inmates escaping. In
the house in which the FIRE origina-
ted, however, six persons lost their
lives. They were: Frank Farrell,
his wife, his daughter Amy. aged
fourteen years his son Walter,aged
ten years his son Thomas, aged
four years, and a young boarder
named James Fitzgerald. Thechild
that was saved is seven years Of
age. The bodies of four of the vic
TINS have been recovered. The res
ldents of the other houses have been
provided with dwellings by people
residing in the vicinity.
