MS CHILD DIES.

4lt3 SAthh A<AAASt Dr..
Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock, his
youngest child, a baby boy Of 10 months,
named Fritz, took sick with violent
spasms. The father was absent from
home, attending market in this city. He
was sent for, aud at once went home. The
baby was lying in crib without stitch
ofclothing, writhing In horrible paroxysms
d pain. Kessler refused to let anybody
20 near tho crib or touch the child, and
positively forbade sending for doctor.
lie threw an old coat over the baby, and
replaced it as the child in its writings
threw it OF. This was all the attention
the little sufferer received, and after
about seven hours OF anguish the poor
baby died.
Tho child had been in feeble health for
some time, but It Ia said at West Wheel
ing that 1t got hold Of some chemicals used
for making The blue marking on crooks,
and that this had caused its death. How
much truth Is in this story could not be
ascertained.
MAkrSG PREPARATIONS TO BURN TuR RonY.
Yesterday morning Kessler was prcpar.
ing to fire up his little kiln, when some Of
the nelghbors expressed their surprise
that he should he preparing to burn wares
while his baby was lying dead, and on
Sunday morning at that.
They were Mortified at his reply, which
was that he was not going to bake crooks,
but to burn the body Of his dead child.
The neighbors expressed their horror,
when tho unnatural father said he was too
poor 10 buy coffin. This is thought to
have been only q subteringe, however, for
he rejected all offers Of aid, and was final
ly prevented from carrying out his plans
only by the intervention Of the poor au-
thorities, who took the body Of the child
from the house, and taking it to Bellaire,
procured q eofia and had 1t buried at the
expense OF the township. In this work
Of humanity the outraged people Of the
village were headed by Hon. David
Wagner, who, With his vile, has also been
foremost in charitable deeds to the Kess-
lers in the past.
Kessler refused to go to the grave with
the body, or to let his wife go. The child
was buried ct Bellaire.

Short Before the Bar.

NEW YORK, Feb. IAN immense
throng of Irish Nationalists, men,
bers of the Fenian Brotherhood, dy-
nam1ters> and others were at the
Tombs Police Court this afternoon
when Richard Short, who stabbed
Captain Phelan In O'Donovan
Rossa's office. was arraigned for ex-
animation. The police force was
also we'll represented. When Phela1
appeared and Short had been led to
the bar, Shorts counsel said he
would like to know if Phelan had
been searched. Judge Patterson re-
piled he supposed the police had
searched him. The sergeant then
put his hand under the bandages
which supported Phelan's lett arm
and pulled out a Colts five shooter
with long barrel. There was quite
a sensation in court when the revol-
yer was discovered. Short laugh ID
but seemed relieved when
the weapon was taken from Captain
Phe'an. Shorts counsel asked the
court to adjourn on the ground that
he had just come from Albany and
was unprepared for examination.
The prose cution opposed the adjourn
lnent. The Judge finally set the G ,se
down for Saturday next. The pris-
Dner's counsel made a motion to re-
duce his clients bail from $1,000 to
81, 900, but the court denied the
saying the bail was none too
much in a case like this.

Wholesale Murder.

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, Feb. g.
The coroner returned this evening
from Radical City after holding an
inquest on the bodies of Mrs. Couham,
son and daughter, who were murdered
Tuesday night. Some are inclined to
suspect the elder son who maintains
he was at the time of the murder Is
miles away. It's generally believed
he will prove himself innocent. The
mother was sleeping down stairs and
was struck on the head with q hatch
ct. Her throat was cut with q buther
knife. The bed cloths were undis,
turbed. The son, the next victim,
was asleep up stairs and was killed
with hatchet ard never moved after
he was struck. The daughter, aged
about 25, sleeping in the next room
from her brother, was aroused and
got up. She made desperate fight
but received sixteen wounds from .
knife and hatchet, and at last started
down stairs and was killed at the
door. The fiend then examined q
drawer In the bureau and left spots
of blood on their clothing. The
young lady's room is covered with
blood and shows evidence of q great
struggle. The excitement runs high
and should the young man fail to
prove his whereab ,u' 8 since Monday,
he will be In great danger of hanging.
The county will offer $500 reward and
the state $500 more. The appearances
md cate that the murderer secured
the hatchet at the stable and the
knife in the Kitchen, and when he
was through with his work, washed
and wiped his hands before leaving
the house.

Heavy Damages Claimed.

The Salt Lake Tribune of the Sd
inst. has this to say of a suit brought
against the Union Pacific r. r.
Co., for $780, ,00N damages, by Thoma
Riley, an elected passenger from a
freight train:
"Thomas Riley, of the firm of
Delone & Co., liquor dealers Of
Omaha, has commenced suit against
the Union Pacific railroad company
for $l00, 900 damages. The complaint
alleges, in distance, chat the plain
tiff was riding on freight train be
tween Green River and Evanston,
Wyoming, ard rendered to the con-
ductor a thousand mile ticket The
conductor refused to receive it with
out a permit accompanying, and de-
manded the fare. Mr.. Riley refused
to pay it, whereupOn the conductor
stopped the train between stations,
and, the complaint alleges, with the
aid of the brakeman forcibiy put the
plaintiff off. The plaintiff clA aims to
.haye received injuries from the force
used by the conductor and brakeman.
Mr.. Riley states that be has travelled
many times over the Union Pacific
on freight trains and has never been
obliged to obtain permit. On the
other hand it is claimed 10y the rail-
road men that his familiarity with
the rules of the road made it espec-
tally just that he should abide by the
rules when the conductor demanded
it, The case will undoubtedly at.
tract the general attention of travel
ing men. Mr.. Riley is in Laramie
City receiving surgical treatment.
