AN AWFUL CRIME.

An Outraged and Mutflated school Teacher
Writes the Terrible Facts on the Floor
Before Her Death in . Lonely School
HOusc.
RsNovA. Pa, April Authorization has
reached this point Of brutal murder four
or five miles south Of Currensville. in
ClearfelJ County, but the particulars, ow-
ing to the removal Of the point from any
telegraph office. are hard to obtain. A
young lady teaching school in one Of the
farming districts Of Clearfield County was
found dead in the school house last Tues
day evening. Her tongue had been cut
from its roots and was found beside her
dead body. The school had been dismissed
as usual at four o'clock, and the pupils left
their teacher alone in the school house In
the right hand Of the dead woman was
found a lead pencil, and on the floor near
her dead body was written in her hand
writing the revolving particulars Of her
death. Two tra,nps had entered tho school
house after the pupils had been dismissed,
overpowered and outraged her. afterward
severirg her tongue with knife and then
fled. leaving her for dead. She recovered
sufficiently to write on the school-house
floor, and had succeeded in writing the
above particulars, with . partial descrip-
iloh Of her assai,ants, when she grew too
weak to write more and died before she
was found. These particulars were learned
through letter received from Currens-
vile to-day.

National Bank, who has been in jail for two
months awaiting sentence under a convic-
ton for violation Of the National Banking
laws, was brought into the United States

Attorney Burnett, AMI was sentenced to
the penitentiary for seven years and two
months. He appeared broken down from
illness, b1t did not manifest deep emotion
upon receiving his sentence. When the
Judge was saying it would be better for
him TO be at Columbus during his illness
than at the county jail, because he wouldn't
have to pay there for extra attention he
nigh: require, he interrupted the judge 10
say that that disadvantage had been re-
moved by the jailer, who had ceased TO
make extra charges.

SMELLS TO HEAVEN,

Jay Gould Peeks Into the Moral Life OF His
Enemy, James Gordon Bennett.
New YoRK, April 2-Jay Gould gave to
the press of this city copy of an open let
ter, which he has written to James Gordon
Bennett, tho proprietor Of the New York
Herald. An editorial which appeared IN
Friday's Herald, which Mr.. Gould calls a
scream" appears to have aroused Gould's
anger, and the letter which he gave out
last night is full Of personalities. He be-
gins by reiteratng his former statements
in relation 10 the animus of Mr.. Bennett,
and then descends to personalities. He
calls Bennett o hbertine, and says his pri-
vatc life has been but succession Of de-
bauches and scandals. Gould asserts that
not gentleman in New York would allow
Bennett to cross the threshold OF his home.
s'Your very touch in the social circle is
communicating" says Gould. "A few IN.
stances, such as decency permits to appear
in print, will suffice to illustrate and con.
firm what have to say on this head"
Then Gould goes on to relate certain al
legged happenings in the life OF Bennett, Of
which the following is sample:
IA few years ago. while on ono Of your
debauches, the police came down on a
house Of ill-fame in this city. You were
among the victims bagged. When you
were arraigned past midnight at the police
station you screamed: i am James Gordon
Bennett, proprietor Of the New York
Herald; let me gor Do you remember the
simple reply of the faithful officer who
said: You may be James Gordon Bennett,
or you may be George Washington; the
case will take the usual course. Officer,
lock the prisoner up And you went be-
hind the bars. In the morning. when you
had sobered down and came to o full
realization OF your situation, you no longer
screamed, Il am James Gordon Bennett,
proprietor Of the New York Herald bus
you spent the whole day trying to get the
newspapers to suppress the sickening
story, and with very good success"

ON cRusoe.s ISLAND.


After Mountain Goats.
The owner of the garden assured US
that it was very easy to 60 goat-shoot-
ing. and that there were ''mucho,
mucho goat" all of which was strictly
true. He took US in the whale-boat
with four strong oarsmen across the
bay to the foot of the cliffs. where he
and his comrades made any welkin
Whereabouts ring with blasts on cows
horns and shrill whistles. Presently
one man pointed up in the air. and one
after the other ''caught on" but we
craned our necks till I feared the
vertebr@ would uncouple, and still saw
no cabramontes. Finally I told Belisa-
RUS to shoot, and near the puff of dust
made where the ball struck. we saw
what looked to be mice crawling along
about eight hundred feet above our
heads. The report of the gun started
others, and presently we discovered
'mucho, mucho goat" but not one
within range. Some of them finally
came down a few hundred feet, but
they were too high and far away to
give us Crusoe's luck. We kept them
moving with our Winchesters, doing
no harm to them and affording us in
nocent amusement
We tried fishing and found it paid
much better than goat-shooting. Our
bait was lobster, and SO soft that the
fish would steal it continually. The wa
ter was very clear, and three
fathoms down we could see the
albercore and Dream rushing
at the bait. Several times in
pulling up the bare hook we caught
fish in the belly or tail, so plentiful
were they. When we returned to the
yacht we found that the sailors not en-
gaged in hauling off water had caught
nearly two tubs of fish in our absence.
The water was conducted from little
run to the landing by trough, from
which our boat was filled and then
towed to the vessel and the fresh water
bailed into tanks.
BY the time we got back from flshlng
the water and provisions were on
board. The latter was various, limited
in quantity. and expensive. Setting
hens and all other chickens on the is
land were at setting hen prices, 81
each. We took all the potatoes. two
and a quarter pecks at 81 per peck. and
likewise the lettuce. eggs. turnips.
horseradish. etc. 1t was Juan Fer
nandez closing-out sale. Presents were
exchanged; cartridges. clothes and
shoes on our part, and Holsters of inn
mense size, queer tomato-like fruit.
and sandal wood on theirs. Then came
fond adieu, handshaking and mutual
expressions of good wishes. and our
friends went over the side and began
to quarrel over the spoil.-M Y 7rid-

COMPLETELY CRUSHED.
How Mrs. PinhOOk Took Advantage OF
LOve-Sick Youth.

| How Mrs. PinhoOk Took Advantage OF q
Love-Sick Youth.
"Mr. kiljordan," said the matronly
lady. as she swept with composed dig
nifty into the parlor where the young
man sat waiting. II am sorry to say
that Irene is confined to her room by a
slight indisposition and can not come
down this evening"
And she sat down and looked at the
youth steadily but not unkindly. In
the presence of this elderly lady, the
mother of his Irene, Bardolph Kiljor-
dan was conscious that he doomed up
at disadvantage. He was oppressed
by a sense of immaturity, obtrusive
feet and unmanageablc hands. and yet
his whole being was pervaded with Il
yearning anxiety to please.
II trust, said he, huskily, "that it is
nothing serious"
"You are kind" replied the lady.
by the way. Mr.. Kiljordan, pardon
me for asking the question. but are you
skillful at removing a mote from the
eye?'
With rapidly-rising courage and a
heart-throb of exultation at the posi-
bility that the indisposition of the love-
" Irene was one that he might have
the happiness of removing. he ex-
claimed:
without presuming, Mrs. Pinhook,
I may say that l am. l have had a
great deal of practice at little jobs of
that kind, and am nearly always sue
cessful. OF late have tried the new
way of doing it, and have found it to
work perfectly. If cinder or other
small particle has lodged in one eye I
rub the other one. and it always brings
it out. If Miss Irene
THANK you. Mr.. Kiljordan. For the
last day or two have been troubled
with speck of some kind in my left
eye. If not too much trouble to you l
will ask you to see if You can get it
out"
And for the next half hour the hap
less young man rubbed that old lady's
off eye and groaned inwardly in wretch
edness of spirit.-Chicago Tribune.
