A HORRIBLE CRIME.

We have seldom heard of more
horrible and sickening crime that
was deliberately and coolly planned
and executed than that which took
place at Richfeld Springs, New York,
the other day. William Druse, a
well-to-do farmer, was shot at his
breakfast table by Frank Yates, II
years old, and nephew of Mrs. Druse,
who forced the lad to fire the first shot,
she grasping the pistol and emptying
the remaining loads into her hus-
band body, then with an AK chop
ped the body into pieces and burned
the fragments in stove, feeding
some Of the flesh to hogs, then took
the ashes Of the burned body and
bones and buried them in a swamp.
While burning the flesh in the stove
the neighbors saw the black smoke
for two hours and the horrible stencil
sickened them. The boy confessed
the crime and all the participants
were arrested. The object of the
crime was prompted by a desire of
the wife to come into possession of
the farm, worth $4,000.

TENNIS.

MIR. W. A. Davis, president of
the Union Athletic Club lectured
recently before the Boston Young
Men S Christian Association on "Ath-
letic Sport" in this and other coun-
tries. lie referred to the origin of
base ball, tennis and lacrosse. The
first OF these games was taken from the
English game of FOUNDERS, which was
described as it is still played in Great
Britain. Tennis dates back to the an
Gent Greeks and Romans. They
played it with the open palm instead
OF rackets or bats, which were not
adopted till after the time of Charles
V. Of France. Then the glove with
padding was introduced. That in
turn was succeeded by binding cords
or tendons round the hand to make the
ball rebound better. This finally sug.
gested the racket. In the sixteenth
century tennis was established as a
royal game ii England The game Of
lacrosse undoubtedly originated with
the North American Indians. The
sport has been considerably civilized
by modern rules.

A Youthful Horse Thief.

About two weeks ago Mr.. Frisby
engaged O boy named Oscar White to
90 out to his farm and do some plow-
ing. Everything worked we'll until
last Thursday morning, when the lad
took it into his head that it was a
good opportunity to become the pos
SCISSOR of team, and consequently
started off with the horses. He
headed for Glenwood, where he traded
one of the horses for harness Eand
buggy. and then drove to Sank Centre
where he offered the outfit for sale.
Meanwhile Mr.. Frisby had dis
covered his loss and notified Sheriff
Munro of the same, and he Immediate
ly set to work to recover the stolen
property. The telegraph was at once
put in use, and the officers of surround
ing towns notified to be OH the look
out for the thief, the result of which
was his apprehension at Sank Centre,
from which place Sheriff Munro
brought him Saturday night. Mon
day morning he was brought before
Justic Hutchins and his examination
postponed until Friday. The boy is
about eighteen years old and appears
perfectly Indifferent to his fate, evil
IDENTIFY not realizing the extent Of the
crime. The team was also recovered
and returned to Mr.. Frisby.

A Devil Fish One Hundred feet Long.

Capt. Keene states that, when fishing
on the Grand Bank, in latitude Al de-
grees north, longitude 80 degrees west
approximately he found floating at
the surface near his vessel one of the
large squid, the body of which, meas
ured as accurately as it could be from II
dory, was fifty feet long, while the tent
acles, all of which were intact and I'M
injured, were longer than the body,
making the entire length more than 100
feet. The tentacles were larger around
than the body of stout man. He cut
the squid up and boated aboard three
dory-loads, probably about three tons
weight, and he estimates that there was
at least one or two more boat-loads
which he left to drift away. had pre-
yiously heard of fishermen finding
pieces of tentaeles, ETC., which might
belong to animals nearly or quite as
large as the one above mentioned, but |
have never before met with any one
who has had the fortune to see entire
such a kingof mollusks. The Informal
ton which he furnishes seems to be of
more than ordinary Importance, since
it enables us to form more accurate es-
Inmates of the maximum growth at

DeDOsed by a Baby.

A bareheaded woman, with scared
face, ran up Kensington street on the
city side of HarroWgate yesterday at
ternoon. She was followed by stout
policeman and train of citizens. Al
Clearfield street the woman stopped,
and pointing to two little boys carrying
a market basket on the ice thae.tt covered
pond just below the Franklin GENE
terry, screamed:
80; stop them, somebody! They'll
drown 1t; | know they will!'
The boys were Harry and Willie Vain
right, 8 and 6 years old, and the fright
cned woman was their mother. Wher
the boys saw the fat policeman dasE
gallantly toward them over one corner
of the pond they dropped the basket
and fed Ihe officers weight broke
the ice, but he foundered on up to hi;
knees in water. The policeman picked
up the basket, raised the cover, and
after peeping in, yelled to the woman
"She's all right!'' When he reached
Mrs. wainwright she lifted plump baby
girl out of the basket and nearly SUI
located it with kisses.
The boys arc brothers of the baby
and they had become SO jealous Of the
attentions she received that they coolly
resolved to drown her in basket, al
they had once seen their father dispose
of kittens, Mrs. wainwright went to {
store yesterday, and during her absence
the boys popped their Objectionable sis
ter into the basket, covered it ant
started for the pond. The mother re
turned, found the cradle empty, sur
missed the truth, gave chase, and saved
the baby. =PhilndeLphin Times.

Reioicings Down South,

Lexington, KY.-Mr. John Il. Bruce
of the United States Revenue Col
lector's Office, informed an editor of
the Daily Press, Of this city, that for
seven years he suffered terribly from
rheumatism in his ankle, which most
of tile time was swollen two or three
times it's natural size, and was SO pain
full that he could not put his foot to
the ground. After trying everything
he could think of without obtaining
relief, he Mt ten O'clock one morning
applied st. Jacobs Oil, and shortly Of.
forwards made two further applica-
tons. AT three O'clock that afternoon
the pain was one; the swelling also
disappeared, and the cure was perma-
nent as it was quick.
