Twenty.ninth round-Cr Crowley came uE

GOOD LIVING FOR PAUPERs.-Tho Es.
sex County Board OF Freeholders held q
meeting last week at Newark, N. J.. and
received the report of Expert Lewis upon
his investigation of the books of the County
Lunatic Asylum under the administration
of Warden John Leonard, who was recently
deposed. The report shows complicated
system of accounts, with frequent altera-
tions, erasures and omissions, and demon
strates that the late bookkeeper of the in
stitution never saw the book in which the
daily patients accounts were kept until it
was put in evidence at the recent investiga.
ton. In the accounts with local dealers the
expert noted items of charges for sucking
pigs, spring chickens, sweetbreads, quail,
turkeys, partridges, wild ducks, capons,
grapes and other delicacies. In one case
the item for smoked tongue was increased
in quantity to cover an item for spring
chickens eliminated from the bill presented
to the board.-N. 2. Herald.

THIRsTING FOR BLooD.-John Faithful
Farr, not quite eleven years old, who lives
on Long Island, Portland, Me-, harbor, bas'
since his early childhood, been possessed of
q mania for killing animals and torturing
children. At the age of four he killed all
the chickens he could find by swapping off
their heads. During tho succeeding two
years he took to killing cats and other small
creatures, strangling them with strings.
When six years old he began to torture chill
dren, and the neighborhood became so in.
censed at his actions that his grandmother
was compelled to move with him TO Great
Chebeague Island. Here he renewed his
malicious tricks, choking his poodle dog 10
death, lowering girl into a well, from
which she was rescued at the last moment,
and pouring kerosene down another girls
throat. For this he was punished by q
sound kicking. He then took to carrying @
long pin, with which he assaulted every one
he came near, and which he once thrust
into his grandmother while she was asleep.
Two years ago he attacked two children Of
an army officers wife, who was visiting the
island. Soon afterward cries of murder"
were heard from his grandmother's cottage,
and the fishermen neghbors found the boy
beating the old woman over the head as
she lay in bed. He escaped by jumping
down thirty-foot cliff, and was so badly
injured that once more he escaped punish
ment. After that he continued his assaults
upon his grandmother, once using an axe
and once scythe. On Monday morning
he attacked her fercely with hammer.
Her cries reused the neighbors. The young
desperate fought his way through the crowd
gained boat, and rowed off to neighbor-
ing island, where he is now intrenched. He
is five feet eight inches tall, and very pow
erful for lad of his age, and is expected to
make desperate fight before being captur-
ed. Ifhe returns to Great Chebeaguc he
will be shot on sight.
