A Wife Murderer Caught After 70 Years.

In April, 1873. Robert Pierce, of Camden,
N. Y, murdered his wife by cutting her throat,
leaving nursing baby crawling about the floor
in its mothers blood. As three days elapsed
between the murder and discovery, the
child was nearly dead from starvation
and exposure and subsequently died. The muir
derer escaped and WAS not heard OF until last
week, when he was discovered in q singular
manner. Some boys who were hunting in a
swamp in Madison County, not far from the
scene of the MURDER came upon rude hut
made of boughs. Almost ut the same moment
rough voice from within warned them to leave
the place on pain of death. The boys ran off
and alarmed the neighborhood, and soon body
of farmers had surrounded the place with two
constables from Oneida. The man was told to
come forth. and he reluctantly did so. He was
Misunderstanding fellow stoutly built, with
a long beard. On his head was a very wide
brimmed hat. As soon as they saw the man
several persons in the party declared that he
was the missing Pierce. He was taken to Jail
and had an examination recently. He said his
name was John McGinnes and he had just come
from the Northwest and was hunting and fish
ing along Oneida Creek. He had neither gun
nor fishing tackle, but near by was an old boat
with one paddle. Inside the boat were few
crackers and half dozen tin cans in which
he had tone his cooking He has been partially

Was II Murder or Suicide.

About a year ago Mrs Berg doctress, who
kept house in the southeastern section of York,
Pa, for 4 Mr.. Kohler, q man name Daniels and
another man, disappeared suddenly, and it was
given out by the men she had gone to Germany.
1t was supposed at the time that she had con-
siderable money. On Tuesday of last week
suspicion of the neighbors caused q search, and
buried in the cellar of the house the remains
of a woman were found. Charles Trevort, a
boarder in the family, was arrested, and con-
fessed that last Spring, led by the appearance
of the ground in the corner of the cellar and q
smell emanating therefrom, he dug and found
the corpse of a woman. Fearing that he
would get his companions in trouble if he made
known his discovery, he reinterred the body
and kept quiet. Great excitement in the vicin-
ity attends the investigation which is now
going on. One of the rumors ahoat is that the
woman committed suicide and was buried by
the inmates of the house in ignorance OF re-
quirements of the law.
The body of Rosina Berg was exhumed by
the Coroner on Thursday last. Around the
neck was twisted a rope and a handkerchief.
The walls are spotted with blood and short
piece of rope hangs from the joist of the floor
above the grave. Mrs. Berg was known to
have had about $1,000 shortly before her dis
appearance, which had been left her by her
husband. In ditch near the grave was found
the clothing of the dead woman, which was
identified.

War Between seryis and Bulgaria.

War has been declared between Servia and
Bulgaria, and the Servians have crossed the
boundary of the latter country. King Milan,
of Servia, officially informed the powers on
Saturday last that Servia had declared war
against Bulgaria because the latter had arbi-
trarily attacked the Servian position at Vlasina,
which was held by the Merava division of the
Kings troops, and was in Servian territory,
opposite the Bulgarian frontier. The King has
also issued proclamation which says that
Serva cannot allow Bulgaria, which has al
ready proved hard neighbour to disturb
the balance of power in the Balkans to her
exclusive advantage. He then alludes to what
he terms the unjustifiable Bulgarian customs
duties on the frontier, the unlawful seizure
of Bregova, and the encouragement by
Bulgaria of the Servian rebels condemned for
high treason. King Milan also mentions the
alleged ill-treatment of Serviau emigrants in
Bulgaria, the blockade ofthe frontier by the Bull
garians and attacks by undisci plined Bulgarian
volunteers on the Seryian people and troops
In conclusion he says: Il cannot suffer these
international provOcatiOns, and 1 therefore
adopt the policy of open hostility which has
been forced upon me by Bulgaria Servias just
cause now rests on the arbtrament of arms, the
bravery of her army and the protection of the
Almighty. rely upon my peoples patriotism"
1t was later officially announced that force of
Bulgarians or Thursday attacked body of
Servians near Elasina The Servians returned
the fire. Ten Bulgarans, killed or wounded,
were left on Servian territory. Several of the
Servians were wounded. In consequence of
the attack of the Bulgarians the Cabinet on
Friday decided to declare war. On the 18th
SIX battaiions of Servan infantry, two batteries
of artillery and two sGuadrons of cavalry at
tackled two battalions of Bulgarian troops and
defeated them, killing and wounding 81. The
King of Servia will have chief command of his
troops

place between the helligerents, resulting in
both sides were heavy, and the Servians. after
desperate fighting, occupied an advantageous
