 found in their house in that city this after noon with their throats cut from ear to ear. The neighbors have not seen any of the fam fly around lately and it is thought they have
 been dead since last Sunday. There are evi-
 dences of fearful struggle between man and
 wife and the supposition is that Dr. White
 became violently insane, killed his wife and
 children and then committed suicide.

of Rocks.
 BosreN, Jan. S.-Detective J. M, Dyson recovered $165, 900 of the missing securities of the Lancaster bank of Clinton yesterday in two valises buried under pile of rocks in Tinmouth, ten miles from Rutland, Vt. They contained S16, 165 in cash. Charles H. Veo, treasurer of the West Rutland Marble com pany, confessed at Lowell that he helped McNeil steal the funds of the bank. They arrived in Rutland together and McNeil took s9, ,OOO in gold and part of the securities and went on to Canada. Veo, thinking no sus- picion would rest on him, went back to work at his desk. Veo gave his bookkeeper, J. L.. Barnum, two valises and told him to hide them. Barnum refused, but Dr. Nelson, president of the West Rutland Marble com pany, insisted and he felt obliged to do so or lose his position. That night Barnum took a team for Tinmouth and called on his cousin on a lonely road half mile from the village. After the visit he concealed the two valises containing the money in wood lot, burying them under two feet of stones and rubbish Dr. Nelson was arrested this morning.

THE LAND QUESTION FOREMOST. Gladstone Anxious 10 Push Home
 Rule To The Rear.

Gladstone Anxious To Push Home
 Rule To The Rear.
 LONDON, Jan. 8.-The Boston Globes rep resentative hes cabled tonight as follows:
 John Morley's speech last night tends to confirm the impression cabled to you the day before that Mr Gladstone through his confi- dants is endeavoring to push the land ques- ton to the front and make it more impor- tant element in the Irish discussion than home rule Earl Cowper's letter to the Times was the first indication of this policy He declared it his belief that the mass of the Irish people cared more for 2ncessions on rents than for home rule honors. Mir. Nor ley's speech goes further and hints at even greater things from the Liberals in the com ing session of Parliament in the way of land reforms than were accomplished when they were last in power. MT. Morley is now re- garded as sort of mutual friend between MT. Gladstone and the radical MT. Chamber lain, and his speech is believed to indicate unity of purpose among the Wings and Rad icals in making the land question the real basis of the appeal of the Liberals for Irish support.

A Train Caught In a Flood.

TAMAoUA, Pa, Jan. S.-The dam across the Wabash creek at Reevesdale near this place burst this morning. A passenger train from Pottsville was just opposite the dam when it broke. The baokwater struck the cars and ran into the heaters under them, causing vast volume of steam to arise and envelop the entire train. The passengers were much frightened, but the engine, which escaped the flood, pulled the train safely through the water. The tracks of the Read ing railroad were badly washed out and com
 pletely inundated, delaying all trains. The break was caused by the bursting of an old tunnel in the abandoned Reevesdale coIlierY

ACTOR MILN ON HIS MUSCLE.
 Attacked By a Manager And His
 Friends He Vanquishes Them All
 After Resolving Severe Wound In
 The Head.
 Miln, the clergyman-actor of Chicago, played in Richelieu in Nealton's Opera House here last night After the performance Manager O'Hearn of O'Hearn's Opera House appeared at MT. Miln's hotel and demanded $25 for al- legged breach of contract. Mir. Min was sur prised and upon inquiry learned that tele- gram that his agent had sent from a southern city directed to the manager of the opera house, Carbondale, went into the hands of Manager O'Hearn, while letter from the agent went to Manager Nealton. The agent did net know there were two opera houses in the city and he intended that the company should play at Neal toms. Miln informed O'Hearn that he could do nothing for him. O'Hsarn said he would attach the company's baggage and Miln went immediately to the opera house and loaded the baggage on g dray, di- recting the driver to take it to the depot O'Hearn and several of his friends appeared and Miln mounted the dray intending to see the baggage safely to the depot. He was immediately hit upon the head with the butt end of a cart whip, sustaining a severe wound from which the blood flowed freely. He wrested the whip from his assailant and drove him as well as several others who had taken hand in the conflict. He then mounted the wagon and drove to the railway station. On ar irving here he was met by constable, who immediately levied on the luggage At this morning the justice who issued the at tachment was reused and Scranton hotel keeper signed Miln's bond. There was large and excited crowded present about equally divided in their sympathies. MT. Miln engaged lawyers to take legal steps in the matter and left for Ithaca this afternoon.

On Thursday next the play of "Sl
Perkins, or the Girl Left Behind Me,
will be presented at the Opera House
for the fret time in this city, and will
also be given on Friday and Saturday
nights, and at matinee on Saturday
afternoon. The company and the play
come highly recommended, and the
Philipsburg Leader in speaking Of the
play says: 1--WE doubt II Manager
Herd will ever succeed In placing before
the theatre Roers of this town o better
entertainment than that furnished by
81 Perkins Comedy Company on last
Friday night. From start to finish 1t
was really splendid. The large
audience was captivated, and between
the continual roar of applause and
laughter, 1t was difficult at times to
hear what was being said by the actors.
Mr.. Frank Jones' impersonatiop of 81
Perkins Is equal to Denham Thomp-
sons Joshua Whitcomb" and that ia
as high q compliment as can be paid
him. He is ably supported by splen-
d id company. Mr.. Blaisdell, as Pro
lessor j =. Potiphar Hopper, Is fully az
good in his part as Mr.. Jones, and his
| song, "That's the Idea," was encored
| The company's orchestra was the besi
| ever heard here, and their performance
| alone was fully worth the price of ad
mission. This company has promised
to return next year, and we hope they
may. They will pack this opera house
any time in the future.

Killed by the Sun.

Poultry raisers may learn something
by the following incident: On Friday
morning Mrs. W. J. Lank, who now
resides near Greenville, Christiana
Hundred, had a fine brood of young
turkeys, which she placed in box on
the porch OF the dwelling, taking care
to exclude them from the rays of the
sun. Sometime afterward, however,
her daughter coming out imagined that
the turkeys would be benefited by a
good summing, and moved the box into
an exposed position. In about an hour
after ward Mrs Lank visited the porch
aud was not a little vexed to find that
the entire number of little turkeys were
dead, the sum rays having proved too
warm for them, and the prospective
Christmas dinner from that brood faded
into nothingness.

Intemperance .

incompetence is the parent of almost
every other bad passion; Its effects are
progressive, and the climax OF IL isl
murder.
Ys profiigates and debauchees, think
of the misery you are sntaiitng upon
yourselves by the course you are now
pursuing.
Think OF your starving families-of
your children crying for bread-of your
wives, sud the state TO which your ex
|travagance has reduced them-of your
once comfortable home, OF which
nothing now remains but the bare
walls.
Think Of the appearance you are max
ing In the eyes Of your fellow-men-of
the disgust they view you with.
Think. also, If you should be hurried
from the checkered scene, what would
be your hope of another world?
How would you acquit yourself be-
fore your Maker?
Think of these things, and pause ere
1t be too late.
You are upon precipice; one false step
may doom you to everlasting misery;
perhaps you may be permitted to pro-
coed on your reckless course for few
years, but you must remember that not
o moment is your own.
To-day you may be In good health .,
but to morrow's dawn may see you on
your death. bed.
! In your present state you are slaves,
land slaves to whst?-to liquor,
l How humiliated you must feel your
selvesl Shake off the thraldom-be
men again.
1 You are now not , our own free agents
but 1t Ii in your power to burst asunder
the bonds that hold you.
Do you prefer seeing your families
miserable, yourselves (after the excite
ment has evaporated) wretchsd,to com
fort and enjoyment?
Have you no hearts?
Will you still continue In your mad,
tdening careeI?
II so, certain destruction awaits you
| Will you choose this course In prefer
lence to receiving the smiles of your
,Ichildfen-the affection of your partners
the prosperity of your families? tC
finding yourselves beloved by your fel
low creatures? to be able to lay your
heads upon your pillows with your con
science free from reproach?
As you value your happiness-youl
lprosperity-your wsil'doing In society

course, and In so doing, you may res
assured, you will be more contented ant
