Killed While Playing Burglar,

Charles Knoliman and his cousin, Henry
kroeger, of ST. Louis, decided a month ago to
run away. Kroeger stole S135 from his father
and both went to New York, where they bought
pistols, knives and rifles They stayed a while
at York, Pa, and the money giving out, they
returned to st. Louis on Saturday. Instead of
going home they registered at the Mound City
House under assumed names. They slept to-
gether until Monday morning. when Knollman
arose first and asked his companion to get up.
Kroeger refused and Knollman went to break
fast alone. He came back in high spirits, and
the two played a number of boyish games in
the room. Then Knollman suggested that
they play burglar. Turning his clothes inside
out he drew his pistol and stepped out in the
hall. Then he returned on tiptoe and began to
search the room. Kroeger said, WHAT q bur-
glar in the room?" Knollman turned at the
sound and Kroeger fired, the bullet striking
the lad in the breast and killing him instantly
Kroeger was arrested, but all the circumstances
show that the killing was not intentional.

An Enrag2i ElepbSut.

female elephant. while being trained at
the exposition grounds at Indianapolis, Ind,
last week, became enraged and charging head
long against the wooden wall of the building
went through like flash, and, delighted with
her success, made for the high fence surround
ing the grounds. This also gave way before
her ponderous assault, and off she cantered in
her wild career.
A barbed- wire fence was her next obstacle,
but she went at it and pulled up with ugly
wounds in her breast and trunk. Here her
keeper caught up with her, and prodded her
with spear so violently that the weapon broke
off short and the iron head remained buried in
the poor beasts flesh. The pain drove her mad
and, with wild yell, she leaped over the
barbed-wire fence, larcerating her hind legs on
the way. Off she went at full tear across the
lots for the city, bowling with rage and pain
and bleeding from dozen wounds. Then she
evidently arrived at the conclusion that she
was making an idiot of herself, as she suddenly
turned round and trotted towards her quarters,
leaping the barbed fence, forcing her way
through the other fence and making another
big smash in the wall of the show building.
Then she walked slowly into her stable and
quietly allowed herself to be chained and her
wounds dressed She was IN terrible condi-
tion and had evidently lost so much blood that
she became too weak to continue her rage.

Gen. HancOck's Estste

The widow Of Gen. Hancock on Saturday last
applied to the New York Surrogate to be ap-
pointed administrators of her husbands estate.
In the application Mrs. Hancock deposed that
Gen. Hancock did not leave will, and that
the value of his personal property is not more
than $1,000; that she and Ada, Gwynn and
Almira Hancock, the children of his son, the
late Russell Hancock, who live at Clarksdale,
Coahoma Co., Miss, are the next of kin. She
also signed bond for $4,000 faithfully to per-
form the duties of administrators. The amount
mentioned in the application is the value of
household furniture in the Generals home at
Governors Island. The only real property
owned by him was tract of land in Missouri
of little value, in which Mrs. Hancock has a
right of dover, subject to which it will be in
herited by the three grandchildren. Gen. Hau-
cock had life insurance policy for $4,000, in
which his widow is named as the beneficiary.

4 Farmer Badly Fleeced,

John Fulmer wealthy farmer living near
Nazareth Pa, who a few weeks ago was feeced
by three-card monte men, was again last week
the victim Of sharpers. A stranger appeared
and offered him $4,000 for his Bucks County
farm. He accepted and received $500 cash. A
few days after another man came along and
wanted TO buy the farm. Fulmer said il had
been sold day or two before. Stranger No. 2
finally told Mr.. Fulmer he would give him
5000, and suggested that Fulmer buy the
other man off few days after stranger Nc l
appeared with the balance of his money Mr..
Fulmer Informed him that he had higher bid.
and asked that the sale be considered Oft But
stranger No. / would not listen to it, How
ever, when Fulmer finally reached s., 600 in his
bid to have the sale set aside the stranger ac-
cepted. took his $500 purchase money and the
$1,000 and left. MI Fulmer has been looking
for stranger No. 2 and the 5000 ever since.

Grief Leads to Suicide.

Davenport Uowa) city undertaken was
summoned last week three miles out of town to
prepare for the funeral of a Mrs. Fritz Brar.
Arriving at the house he found it locked and
no response was made to his calls and raps. An
entrance was finally forced, when the floor of
the main room and the walls were found spat-
tered with blood. The crimson trail was fol-
lowed to the bedroom, and there, beneath the
sheets, the husband of the dead woman was
found nearly dead. His arms and wrists were
frightfully gashed. 1t was learned that Brar,
who is So years of age, being left alone with the
corpse, determined upon suicide. He first
kissed the face of his wife and then went into
the cellar, whore he gashed himself with a
razor, cutting, as he thought, the main artery.
He then crawled to the bed with the intention
of bleeding to death. He begged to be let alone
when discovered. He will probably die.

SOLDIERS ORPHANS.
Alleged Mal-Administrati0n aud Corruption in the
Orphans' Schools of Pennsylyania.

UTrhanS' Sch00lS OIL PennsyiFaHia.
No State in the Union has done more for the
Union soldier than has Pennsylvania, and no
State has been more tender in its care for his
orphan offspring The schools in Pennsylvania,
now 10 in number, have long been the pride of
the people of that State. 1t has been
taken for granted until lately that they
have been conducted in a manner that
to great extent compensated the children for
the loss of home, and fitted them for useful and
honorable pursuits in life. 1t is now rumorcd
that more or less abuse for some time has OK
listed in the management of the Schools and
that not only have the children not been re-
ceiving the comforts and advantages which the
people of the State were under the impression
they were receiving, but the schools have been
made means of enriching the pockets of those
engaged in their management. These institu-
tions are run upon peculiar principle. The
Commonwealth has no property interest in them.
1t employs no teachers engages no managers,
and furnishes neither clothing nor food. For
every child ordered into given school a specific
amount is paid, SO that the receipts of each
school are regulated by the number of children
on its rolls. The profits go to the proprietors
or managers of the schools.
In the appropriation bill for 1873 the admis-
sions to the schools were restricted to all chill
dren born prior to Jan. l. 1866, but in the fol
lowing year a pressure was brought to bear upon
the Legislature to repeal this limitation and to
admit not more than 100 children of deceased,
destitute or permanently disabled soldiers born
after 1866. In the subsequent year the Legs-
lature was induced to pull down the bars and
to admit not only 100, but all who could be &C
commodatcd. 1t had been understood when
the limitation with respect to date of birth was
repealed that all the Soldiers Orphans Schools
would be finally closed on May l. 1879 and the
children then OH the rolls were to be discharged
but this was repealed in 1873, and the doors

Mrs. Grant Receives $500, 900.

Charles L. Webster, the New York publisher,
paid to Mrs. Grant on Saturday last, as profits
on the sale of the first volume of her husband s
Memoirs" the sum of 100000. In a letter to
Cyrus w. Field, Mr.. Webster says:
The contract with Gen. Grant for the publication
of the Memoirs " was signed just year ago to-
day since which time the book has been practically
written, published and the great bulk of the money
for the first volume collected.
1t seems fitting to me the anniversary of the
signing of that contract to pay to Mrs. Grant the
check. More is due her, and will be paid as
collected. We expect to collect as much again
when the second volume appears, that Mrs
Grants profits within a year from publication will
not fall below 100000. and will probably reach
S5O00O0.
This is probably the largest royalty ever paid
on single book, and there is little doubt that
the amount on the second volume will be as
large.

derbilt, and was fitted up and had guns put On
board, when she became the flagship of Admi-
