THE mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Eddie and Charles Klusmey-
er, age II and Z years, and Charlie
Kallerba"h, age 10 years, at Quincy,
H., has been dIspelled by CHASTITY dis
covery. On the .4th of last September
the three children suddenly disappeared
from home, and then parents made
search for them in vain and then offered
rewards for their discovery. 1t was the
general opinion that the children had
been stolen by river pirates, and adver-
tlsements were inserted in several pa
pers south of this place, but no trace of
them was ever found. A man hauling
sand for a foundry was loading his
wagon near the river bank, and on lift
ing his shovel was Mortified on finding
that he had cut the head from human
body. The man at once reported his
discovery, and the coroner was notified.
Upon further investigation the bodies of
three children were exhumed from the
sand bank, and were identified as those
of the missing boys. 1t IS thought that
the boys were digging a cave in the
sand bank, when it caved in and buried
them alive.

Nicholson, a Balt:m more banker, who
died last year, has developed the fact
that the old man was great lover of

house or asylum for cats. He had over
a dozen of his own tables, and these
were permitted to invite their friends,
so that hosts of the feline species were
entertained at the bankers home. He
took cats to bed with him, and some
times a matronly cat would provide a
nest III his comfortable feather bed. and |
there litter OF kittens would be born and |
raised. The old gentleman always had |
several cats sleeping with him. The |
servants testified that at one time he had |
six Maltese cats living in his room;
these were the favored ones Six COM
moner cats were kept down in the
kitchen. He loved his cats. and grieved |
when any died.
