A Mysterious Tragedy.

A Pottsville despatch OF the 18TH inst.
gives the following particulars of a mys-
terlous shooting affair in that locality
Three months ago George Bickert, a
German, who came TO this country in
1884, located in Lavelle, boarding with
Mrs. David Strlnger, a widow. Their
relations soon became intimate, and a
month agoit was reported that they had
been married. 1t was known that
Bickert had left wife and three chill
dren in Germany, Friday night wo-
man was seen to enter the house where
he lived, and soon afterward two shots
were heard. Neighbors entered, and
Mrs. Stringer, who was at the village
store, came with them. Bickert was
found seated in a chair with blood
squirting from q wound near the left
nipple and another under the left arm,
In front OF him, on the floor, lay pistol
with two chambers empty. The un-
known woman had evidently retired by
the back door and escaped. Bickert was
conscious and was pressed for an ex-
planation. He declined TO make any
statement, and in a few moments
swooned from loss of blood. He died
before morning. A detective who was
put on the case Saturday has theory
that the German wife was written to by
some person in Lavelle who discovered
her address; that she came here pre-
pared to kill, and was aided to escape
by a confederate. The mystery that
shrouds the case has added to the ex-
eitement, and any number OF amateur
detectives have undertaken to solve it,

An Interesting autopsy was held over
the body of Wess Allen, near Winfield.
on Monday last. The motive of the post
mcrtem. was to search out If possible,
the cause Of his disease. which was one OF
seldom occurrence and great peculiari-
ties. He was Il middle aged man of very
stout constitution. Seventy days before
his death. he applied for medical aid On
examination there WAS found to be slight
hypefirophy of the upper eye-lid. the
conjunctiya being entirely healthy. The
I'D rapidly increased in size till about the
fourth week, when it reached its MAXI
mum. After this time there was slight
decrease in size. Both eyes were effect
ed equally. The eyes were completely
forced from their normal position. for
ward. and covered by the lids; sight was
very near lost. Had fever more or less
durin. entirG illness. after second weel.
Persistent cough during last twenty days.
At death he was very much emaciated;
suffered very little until the last five DAYS.
In the death of Wess Allen. good col

A Sad Scene.

On Sunday the entire family of Perry
Melton. consisting of his wife and several
snail children, came from Spearsvile te
visit their father and brother in Jail, who
are to be hung on Friday. Their visit
Was doubtless the last they will ever
make to the two unfortunate men. The
wife Of Perry Melton leaving town on
Sunday evening had her infant child
clasped to her breast; agony and despair
expressed in her face rs we never want to
see 1t again. The children who accom-
panied her seemed to fully realize the sad
visit too. and their parting with their
father and brother. 1t was sad scene to
witness the agony Of a wife and the sor-
rowfui faces other children as they were
leaving the husband and father, whom
in all probability they will never see
again liying.-Fa1nerruie Gazette.
