A Trick I'm IA Tunnel

An annoying praotlcsl Joke was played
ON n BIAS fat young man who was accom-
panylng n young lady on n journey. While
going through tuanel friend knocked OF
tho bashiul young mans hat, forced his
fingers through mis- hair, kissed the back OF
his own friend, aud then slapped his own
face violently. Every one IN the car looked
la that direction when the light came, and
the friend was apparently the most sur
prisei Of them all. The mufssd-up ap.
penrauc- aud confusion OF tho aHtonished
victim convinced the spectators that he had

Hindoo Marriages.

On Friday and Saturday OF last week
most of the Bombay and Ahmedabad
trains carried special carriages for the ac-
commod alton OF Nicer Ghoolam Baba
Khsn's guests, who came from far and near
in response to the invitations TO be present
ct the dinner given by him Saturday
night in honor of the triple marriages new
being celebrated in his family. On Friday
afternoon the presents to be given by Neer
(}hoolam Bsba to the brides were displayed
at the palace. The gifts included some
handsome suits OF furniture mounted in
damask, tables, oupboards, and ordinary
articles OF housshod furniture innumsra-
bic, cooking utensils, and . variety OF
lighter aud more ornamental articles, be-
sides a handsome shigrsm and horss. By
lar the most interesting part Of the display,
however, was visit to the
room in which the jswslry to be presented
was laid out for inspection. The god

there by curiousiy -shsped ornaments; the
other was similar In design, with the cx-

covered with p1e green enamel. The value
OF these cannot venture g. estimate. The

4 BLOODY MYSTERY.
Disappearance of Two Well Known
Brothers-In-Law.

Disappearance of Two Well Known
Brothers-In-Law.
CHICAGO, Ill, April IA mysterious
tragedy is reported from Niagara Falls,
Canada, this morning The body of Van
r. Person, formerly manager of the
freight Office of the New York Central
Railroad at Suspension Bridge, was
found on Luna Island, a bullet having
passed through his mouth and out the
back of his skull. Near by were the
bloody coat and vest Of his brother-in-
law, Thomas Vedder, but the body Of the
latter had disappeared. The conjecture
is that Pierson killed his brother.in.law
and removed the latter's clothing and
threw the body into the river, and then
shot himself.
The two men were seen together on the
Island last night. Pierson was probably
crazed with drink when he committed the
crime, as both had been on excellent
terms with each other so far as is known.
Nedder was wealthy citizen of Suspen-
sion Bridge and the senior member of the
wholesale grocery firm Of T. & J. Vedder.
He lived IN an elegant residence with his
brother James. Both were bachelors.
PierSon, who was tall and handsome had
married a sister of the man he murdered,
and leaves a family of children The af-
fair creates the most profound sensation.
