In passing the school house

IDLE. Several young brigands have
been engaged III completely peeling
the bark from the finest shade trees

to do this kind Of work is beyond
our comprehension. The law should
be used in such cases.

around an old garden spot last Sat.
urday, when they plowed up some
parsnips that were growing wild.
Not thinking OF any serious conse-
quences, they took II end CON-
menced to eat it raw. In a few
minutes the youngest boy, George,
who is abont IA years cid, became
deathly sick and started for the
but before he reached there
fell in a fit OF commissions. He was
UP and carried to the house
he died fifteen minutes AFTER
wards in great agony. The Older
boy, Barney, Is years old, soon felt
the same SYMPTOMS, going into violent
onpulsions, but by promptly CIV
ne him a powerful emetie, he was
somited freely and came out If the
,onyulsions all right and is now out
If danger, although he feels the eff
OF tho poison yet. Another
5oung man Roht. Newton, who lives
With Mr.. Adams, also eat a small
'iece of the deadly vegetable aud
vas affected similar to the Others,

TWO FARMERS cREMATEo.

which Enoch Mcmahon, one of the most
prominent and substantial farmers of Madi-
son county, and his farm hand. named
Treat. lost their lives. Mr.. McMahon's $
fine residence was discovered to be in
flames, but when seen it was too far gone
TO be saved, and nothing but the screams Of
the unfortunate victims perishing in the
flames greeted the spectators. In the even
ing, Mr. McMahones daughter built a fire
in the stove and went to church. During
her absence, the fire communicated in some
unknown way TO the house and caused its

Italians shoot at Each other in Crowded

BISGHAMPros, n. V, May 1O.-As Erie
train No. II was pulling into the depot
here yesterday, John Pareno, an Italian, q
passenger in the day coach, suddenly
sprang to his feet, drew revolver and
fred three shots at Owen Howe, another
passenger, from Hartsvill. Allegany county.
One of the bullets struck Howe in the
breast, intiicting a dangerous wound, and
another detached the pendent from lady's
ear ring. Pareno then sprang from the
train and fed up the street, but was over
hauled by the depot police. The italian
claims that Howe and several other passen-
gers had robbed and threatened TO kill him.
Howe says the Italian is crazy and has not
been robbed at all. Pareno is from Braid
wood, H., and was on his way to Italy.
Both men are held at police headquarters
awaiting q hearing.
