A Maniac With a Knife,

David Williams, an industrious min
er, of Wilkes Barre, joined the Saliva
tion Army about month ago. He atten-
ded the meetings regularlyand became
so infatuated that he had to quit work.
His mind is affected. Tuesday morn
ing he attempted to kill his little grand
child, Mamie Jones. He said the Lord
told him in the night that if he wanted
to save sinners he would have to make
sacrifice. An innocent babe would
but answer the purpose. He accord
ingly went to the house of his daugh-
ter and requested to see little Mamie.
When the child was brought to him
he requested her to take walk with
him. The child, only four years old,
accompanied her grandfather to his
home. The crazy Salvationist then
took her up in the garret and tied her
to table. He returned to the kitchen
to get a butcher-knife with which to
quarter his grandchild, when her
screams attracted the attention of her
grandmother, whe rushed up stairs and
saved the little girl from horrible
death. Williams plans became frus-
trated, he became violent, and rushing
out in the street with big butcher
knife in his hands, he made plunge at
every one he met. Men, women and
children ran before him as though he
were mad dog. Reaching his daugh-
ters house he made break for her
with his knife and succeeded in inflict.
ing severe cash in her arm. The in
jured woman made her escape into a
room and locked the door. The man.
lac then stabbed neighbor's boy, who
was sitting on the front stoop. The
neighborhood was now greatly excited
and four stalwart policemen, arriving
on the scene, succeeded in capturing
the lunatic after much difficulty. He
is now in Jail.

Immediately and take possession of his
house and lot. During the latter days
of the session of the Legislature Mr.
Mackin was approached by friend
from Clearfield who intended to let
him into good thing. This consisted
of shares in a drawing for the benefit
of the church. Mr.. Mackin paid $5
and took five tickets. One was dis

Sunday was the longest day of the
year, the time between sunrise and
sunset being fifteen hours. This is
known as the summer solstice, since for
several days both before and after very
seighc change in the length of the days
occurs, and the sun is said to "stand
still" with reference to his declination.
For fifteen days, including Sunday,
the sun rose at the same minute and it
set at the same minute for four days.
Although there was no change in the
minute of rising from the 7Lh instant,
there was change of five minutes in
the time of setting during the same
period.

He is quick to resent it. Nevertheless, in
half the homes in the country, because the
husband holds the funds and the wife must
ask for her share, there is evaporation,
there is false shame, there is undreamcd of

liberality and generosity are terms wholly
inapplicable to the situation when we are
speaking of the relations of husband and
wife. The one does not dispense an aims;
the other does not accept charity. They
are partners in the business of life. 1t is

There is movement to connect
Decoration Day with Arbor Day. In
this latitude, says the Reading Times,
as in that of New York, where the
movement originated, the last of May

Commander of the Grand Army of the
Republic of New York has issued a
circular recommending the practice, and
the State Forestry Association has fur
nished every Post with pamphlet
published by the government giving
brief directions as to planting and
other matter that will be helpful and
instructive The proposition did not
come early enough for general adop.
lion this year, but preparation can be
made for another spring, when the
beautiful custom cf commemorative
planting can be established for all time.
1t would be good idea to do some
thing of this kind in this State. In
addition to the commemorative feature,
which alone should commend the pro-
iect, it would, in an indirect way, help
TO call attention TO the advantages OF
more general attention TO forest cult

monument will continue TO grow in
dignity. and impressiveness until its

DR.. Cyrus Edison lectured Monday
evening before the American Society
of Public Analysis, in Brooklyn, on the
late scourge of typhoid fever in Ply
mouth, Pa. He said the pollution Of
the mountain streams which supply
the town with water was the prime
cause of the disease. The streets were
unclean, and disin}ectants were un-
known until the malady made its ap
pearance. Such an epidemic could
only be regarded as national dis
grace.
