EASTMAN, Ga, February 4.-Hnbbard
Harrell, oolored boy, ten years old, was
made drunk near here yesterday, and going
to the home of his brtoher-in-law. James
Pope, killed three children. Filling large
kettle used for washing hogs, with boiling
water, Harrell commence his work by in
ducing one of the children to strip off his
clothing, after which he suddenly tripped
the little fellow up, landing him in the ket-
tie where he was boiled alive. The next
child resisted but Harrell felled her to the
ground with an iron bar and while she was
still insensibls threw her in the cauldron
with the boiled corpse of her brother. The
remaining child was the youngest of the
trio, and picking it up by the ankles Har-
rell was beating its head agains tree when,
attracted by its cries its parents appeared
and the young murderer fled. The little
ones skull was so badly fractured, however,
that death resulted last night. At last &C
counts young Harrell was still at large.

afternoon John Dunn, a German railroad
laborer about 30 years of age, and his wife
and being in a rage, he remarked for 2
cents he would cut his throat and im-
mediately touched his throat with the razor,
cutting small cash. Immediately after
wards be drew the steel across his throat,
opening it for at least six inches and sever
ing the jugu lar vein. His wife rushed down
stairs to summon help and he followed, with
his throat gaping and bleeding profusely.
He was taken up stairs, but returned to the
street. By this time he was bleeding very
fast. When taken back to the room he re-
manned in bed until the doctors arrived. He
will probably die.

source. The contest is narrowed down pc
tween Mary E. Brown on one hand and Let

in litigation is whether the man from whom
Letson and Briggs claim the title is Keo-
kuk's son or not. The lands have been
allotted under the Morrill, bill, and the
patents have been ordered. hence the suits
to determine and establish the titles. The
occupants of the lands are deeply interested

MaxWell Cries for laercy.

81. Louis, Mo-, February L-Hugh M.
Brooks, alias Maxwell, the slayer of G. Ar
thur Preller, has written an appeal to the
American people calling for fair play and
justice. He re-echoes the ringing cry of his
sturdy old father and says that the law is
cruel, that justice should be temperep
with mercy, and that be is fit subject for
clemency. He asks: "Were my rights re-
spected? Did I have a fair and impartial
trial?" And answers himself by saying that
the Jurors had formed an opinion, that his
attorneys were not allowed to define the
terms of the law, while the prosecuting
attorney was permitted to do SO,
and rants at the testimony of
the alleged detective, Dingelfelder,
he who entered the Jail as criminal to
wiring out confession. This was horrible
breach of faith, he says, and works out an
affecting story of the alleged false confess
sion. The afidavits of his previous charac-
ter are grasped at convulsively. They should
have been of avail, be thinks, but
we're not because they were unjustly
impeached without hearing. He refers
to how Preller's body was exhumed and ex-
amined without the knowledge of his coun-
sci, or his dissecting skill to point out the
causes of the unsuccessful operation, and
closes by saying that when the case went be-
fore the state supreme court one of the
judges said he never had a case before him
with such fragrant violations of the common
practice

Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

WICHITA, February 6.-Yesterday morn
ing, between 3 and o'clock, party of men
broke down the door to the Iron Clad, no.
torious dive in the city, and forced an en-
trance. One of the men within, named Will
Spar, lover of the mistress of the place, was
told to hold up his hands, and as he did so,
one of the party, "Black jack" fired, shoot
ing him in the arm. Sparr's woman then
gave him revolver, and he shot "Black
Jack" in the breast, and another man, Link
Mills, in the groin. Several other shots
we're exchanged, doing but little damage.
"Black Jack" has died from the effect of his
wound, but before his death made state
ment substantially as above. Mills is dam
gerously, if not fatally, wounded. Spar, it
is thought, will recover. A number of ar
rests of parties implicated in the ARRAY have
been made by the police.

New YoRK, February 2.-Iast Sunday

ruptured and crippled, which resulted in .
panic among the children and the death. Of
one of the domestics employed in the m
stitution. It was evidently of incendiary
origin, but there was not the slightest clue
to the culprit. The fire marshal ha, been
closely investigating the matter ever since,
and this afternoon reached a rather
astonishing solution of the mys-
tory. Since the fire of Sunday,
other attempts to fire the building by plac-
ing matches on the register in such way
that their ignition would quickly start q
confagration have been made. This after.
noon another and nearly successful attempt
was made by setting fire to lot of linen in
a drawer. The fire department was called
and another panic among the cripples en-
sued, but fortunately the fire was soon out
Nobody was hurt One of the patients, Mary
Wilson, pretty and engaging child OF
IL years was discovered sneaking away
from the spot where the fire
was discovered, and the fire marshal, whose
suspicious already pointed toward her, taxed
her with the lime. She at first stoutly
denied it, but finally broke down and con-
fessed that she had made half dozen at
tempts to burn the hospital. She did not
know why she did it. A physician who
examined her says she is afflicted with pyro-
mania

Itrroub,ed His Conscience.

WASHINGTON, February 3.-The secretary
of the treasury has received letter dated
Fitchburg, Mass, enclosing 25 cent silver
piece which the sender desires to have placed
on the treasury to the credit of the con-
science fund. A note transmitting the coin
says: ''To whom it may concern. Once

Of evil mindedness, or perhaps worse be-
cause could, though even at the time,
know better, I took it upon meto obliterate
the cancelling marks of five cent postage
stamp and used it again and though no NOR
tai may ever have been aware Of it, I have
known it all the while. Under the Mosaic
dispensation a restitution Of one-ffth was
deemed equivalent to satisfy the
claims of justice in the case
of distress. So here one-ffth of five is one
and one to arrive makes six. At per cent.
sum is docbled in about six years, and this
then mounted to IL cents, and doubled
again amounts to "a cents. Now to give the
government the benefit of the fraction I
enclose 25 cents. Signed local citizen.

A Notorious Crook Arrested.

OLATBE, KAN, February 2.-Charles
Prince, alias Chuck Prince, one of the
slickest crooks in the west, was arrested
here this afternoon on a charge of burglar
izing the Southern Kansas railroad depot
last December, at which time the building
was entered by breaking in the window, the
money drawer pried open with q
chisel and $40 stolen. His pre-
iminary examination was set for next
Monday, until which time he has beer COM
mitted to Jail. Chuck is well known to the
police of Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Leavenworth and many other cities as an
all-around crook. He has done time at
Leavenworth, Jefferson City and other
places, and feels quite proud of his notori-
GUS record. He was released from the Leav-
enworth penitentiary last August, where he
served two years sentence for rob-
bling the safe of Gottschalk q
OFT, furniture dealers in Of
iowa, Kan. Since this time he has followed
his usual vocation in many places, but he
has eluded the vigilance of the officials by
the various means know to the profession.
When arrested he had big roll of bills in
his possession, and seemed to have been in
extra good luck lately. The authorities here
believe that he was getting ready to make a
raid in this city when he was pinched.

JOLIET, ILL.,, February 4.-Governor
Oglesby lief for Springfield, but before leav-

mails whose cases were on file in his Office
for executive clemency. The anarchists,
Fielden and Schwab, were very anxious to
see the man who had saved their necks from
the hangman's rope, and the governor
granted them an interview, at which they
warmly thanked him. on behalf of them
selves and their families for an act of Glenn
eucy. "Uncle Dick" had quite talk with
the anarchists, asking them many ques-
tions, and tried to empress upon them most
forcibly the fact that anarchy can never pre-
vail in this country.
