Probably Murdered by Tramps.

ERIE, Pa, November 24.-ln the neigh
boring township OF Greene the people are
greatly excited over the disappearance
and presumed murder of Frank Hist, a
lad of sixteen, who went into the barn
last Friday, just previous to starting for
school, and has not been seen since. 1t
was at first thought that the lad had run
away, but large sum OF money of his
own, kept in the house, was found there,
and there was nothing to indicate flight.
Yesterday morning the hay loft was ex-
amined. 1t presented scene of great
disorder, as though Il struggle had taken
place. The half of a murderous.looking
bludgeon was found with hair adhering
TO it, and this, taken in connection with
the fact that Thursday the lad found two
tramps in the barn and routed them out
with blows, causes the suspicion that he
has been murdered out of revenge. Ex-
cited villagers have been searching for
clews all day.

the immense audience WAS becoming panic
stricken, when In the nick OF time, one of

before the foot-llghts, and in a stentor-

be seated and keep quiet, assuring
them that there was no danger from
fire as no blaze existed
Luckily the auditors obeyed the gentle
man quite promptly and perfect quiet was
restored. After lapse of six minutes
the mlshap, which came within an inch of
resulting In Wholesale death, was attrlb-
utable TO the stupidity OF one Of the house
employees who was engaged setting q
blacksmith's forge for the afterpece. In
his ignorance he ignited several chunks
OF charcoal which had been placed in
pan underneath the receptacle of
the alcohol, instead of lighting the
spirits. The charcoal rapidly produced
heavy smoke, which as the curtain hoisted
poured out into the body of the house.
Had the alcohol been lighted instead, no
smoke would have been produced and the
requirements would have been carried
out. As 1t was majority OF the audi
tors escaped with bad scare, while ten
or dozen were overcome with fright and

SENATOR GIBBS arguments in opposi-
ton to law making it felony to carry
a pistol by unauthorized parties are not
very sound. lie thinks there are too
many crimes row classed rs felonies
which are filling up the penitentiaries
too rapidly. lie is willing, however, TO
make it an offence punishable by con
linenent in The county Jail, in order that
the expense may fall upon tho county
in which the offence is committed. He
might so q little further and say that
horse stealing should be punished in the
same way. OF The two crimes, the MAJ
who carries pistol and 10 ready to kill
his neighbor should be punished more
severely than the man who steals his
neighhor's property. If the law is passed
it will be enforced, and the pistol will
become thing of the past.
