A Horse In . Tree Top waiting for Some
One to Pick Him.
New York, Feb. 17.-Norwichtown has
the only horse in the world which has been
up in tree. He is an old blind horse and
has passed to the stage when 1t 10 not Of
much consequence to him where he 10 or
what he does. In hauling Ice on the steep
side Of tho Yam Yankie river he backed OF
q twenty-five foot embankment and lodged
in the upper boughs Of an old elm. He rested
there easily, his forefeet dangling over .
limb and his hind legs hanging over an
other, while on his face was an expression
that was interpreted to mean that what
ever he was he was satisfied that his job
had become better one than hauling ice
up vertical tackle. It was not easy to
tell what to do with him, and twenty men
gathered about the trunk Of the elm and
thought. Some one finally hit on an ex-
pertinent. A man went aloft and fas-
tened q rope to the tree top, came
down, and thirteen men took
hold Of the rope at q safe distance
from the tree. Then woodman, went to
work to fell the tree. The rest of the party
waited to see the horse and tree come
down. The chopper cut the trunk half
through, the weight of the horse bore the
top downward, the descent being gradu-
ated by the men at the ropes, and the AMI
NAL was gracefully and safely lowered to
the river ice. The horse was led around
the embankment, hitched to the tackle
again, and his job Of hauling ice was re-
sumed.

Auajn Found Guilty.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. 15.-The jury in
the Stanyard murder case returned a YER
dict Of murder in the first degree. The
prisoners counsel filed motion for new
trial. This is the second time Stanyard
has been convicted. The prisoners mother,
whose devotion to her son has been re-
markable since his arrest, was not in
court, being detained at home by broken
arm, sustained by fall, while on her way
to the courthouse on Monday. A
8S-caliber revolver cartridge attached to
the end of a stick by wire was found in
Stanyards vest pocket when he was
searched in his cell this morning. 1t is sup
posed that his intention was, when all the
hope of escaping was gone, to hold the
base of the cartridge in a gas jet with the
bullet pointing into his. mouth until it ex-
ploded. The idea was probably borrowed
from Louis Lining, the Chicago anarchist.
Relatives of the prisoner are supposed to
have furnished the deadly apparatus.

THE EARTH RENT.
Great Excitement In Summit Coun.
' ty, Ohio.
Houses shaken and People Thrown From
Thoir Beds.

/. AKRON, O., Feb 15.-At two o'clock this
morning many people in this city were
awakened by their houses being shaken,
while the residents OF Sandy Hill, four
miles south Of here, wero thrown from
their beds, and their windows and ceilings
cracked and fell to the floor. The first in
1imation of the disturbance came in the
way Of terrible report, as Of some great
explosion in the vicinity Of Sandy Hill,
followed + houses swaying SO that the
denizens of that place fed in great
alarm. This morning great fissure
was noticed at the seat Of this earth dis
turbance. The families Of Henry Snider,
Lester Allen, Uriah Thornton, A. A.
Schwartz and Jamas Porter, residing
where the phenomenon manifested itself
more forcibly, were terribly frightened,
and some of their houses were badly
shaken up. Similar occurrences were
noted in this same district twenty-five
years ago and again in 1882. Prof. Clay
pool and Prof. Reed have made examina-
tho theory that the phenomenon was
caused by the escape Of gas from beneath
the superficial layers Of gravel and sand.
Others, however, ,refute this, as sgas-drillers
In that vicinity have struck only very
small quantities of the invisible fluid. The
explosion last night made a noise like the
discharge OF cannon, and was fol-
lowed by low, rumbling sounds, the
first noise being heard here at nine
o'clock last night, while low mutterings
contin nued up to the time that the final ex-
plosion came.

An earnest and vigorous exposition, in
q cheap, handy form, OF the moral
aspects of the international copyright
question, is something that has been
much needed. Such q paper has now
been published by Charles Scribner's
Sons, of New York, in the well-known
paper.covered series Of this house, at
q price which ought to insure for it q
circulation of hundreds of thousands
throughout the country. The title Of
the pamphlet is 'The National Sin Of
Literary Piracy" and the author is the
Rev. DR.. Henry Van Dyke. DR.. Van
Dyke considers the subject under three
phases:-(l) The Nature Of the National
Sin of Literary Piracy, (2) Its Punish
ishment, and (3) It's Cure. His paper
ID well worth reading, and ought to
touch the public conscience and have
its effect upon public opinion. The
publishers will send any one q copy
upon receipt Of five cents.

fered death in a singular manner yester-
day. He had feed grinder, run by wind

and pants were wound about the iron
bars. He called to his employees to cut
him down, but they could not reach him.
1t was fearful squeeze. The sufferers

STRANGE CASE.

Disappearance Of . Little Boy Sent to .
Grocery-A Little Cousin Missing Two
Years Ago on Precisely the Same Trip.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Feb. 18-Yesterday
morning Willie, the little son Of N. J.
Nolan, residing at No. 9OS Livingston
street, River View, was sent to . neigh
boring store to buy pair Of stockings.
The boy has not been seen since. His
parents and neighbors have searched
the entire territory Of Kansas City,
Kas., but have not gained the faintest
clew to the missing child. The police
were notified yesterday evening, but their
search has been equally fruitless. The
boy was seven years Of age. A remark
able fact which his disappearance recalls
is that his cousin, q little girl Of eight
years, was started to the same store two
years ago, and no trace Of her has been gain
ed in all the months that have followed. Her
parents have spent all they were worth in
the search for their daughter. Willie's
mother is said to be almost distracted
with grief.
