A DISTRESSING TRAGEDY.

A shocking case of murder and sui
eide is reported from Timber Ridge,
Frederick county. Va. Last Friday
morning William Mcclure wanted his
wife to send his little grandchildren
to the store for some groceries, but his
wife wanted him TO wait until after
dinner. Mcclure got into terrible
passion and struck his aged wife over
the head with an iron poker, telling
her to the floor, after which he got a
razor and cut her throat from ear TO
ear. Then seating himself in a chair,
he placed the muzzle Of his gun to his
head, touched the trigger with his
cane and shot himself through the
head, dying instantly His two little
grandchildren were the only witness
es of the sad butchery. His son, Da
vid Mcclure, n worthy young man,
was at the barn at the time the muir
der occurred The affair has created
a great sensation in that part of IL e
county. Mcclure lived about two
miles from where Willard White was
shot and killed by Algernon Miller
about a year ago. Mcclure was 50
years old and his wife about the same
age.
Bertha Wise cook in a restaurant
in Pittsburg, was killed Tuesday
morning by Frank Liddell, employed
at the same place. Liddell had a par
lor gun and was shooting at rats.
when the woman, who was Just COM
ing into the room, was struck by
ball, which entered her heart She
fell to the floor dead.

He Had Nerve.
New York Eycning snn,


 A New Yorker of iron nerve and a keen but quiet wit recently weaketi exquisite revenge on that common fnc of mankind, the dentist This fientl takes ghoulish glee in pausing in the midst of the tortures he is intlicting to inquire, with & we'll simulated ap- pearance of sympathy, fine is hurting much.
 We'll aware of this peculiarity of the dentist, the nervy New Yorker re- solved to i'll him with chagrin. So, composing himself in the chair of anguish, he opened his mouth and told the fiend to go ahead. Wheel and pick and saw were soon doing their worst, and the victim was quivering with torture at every touch. Presently the operator thought the moment of in supportable agony had come, and sup pressing chnckle of delight, he assumed look of pity and asked If 1t was very painful.
 "Oh, no, not at all," replied the nervy man, with an air of the utmost unconcern.
 uC dCIitiSt StIt uOtuAuKs puN uS HO renewed his labors with wheel and pick and saw, balehil light shone In his eyes and there was compression of the thin. cold lips that boded evil to his victim. And, under the manip- ulations that followed, the poor wretch was soon suffering the most piercing and quaint torments. But ks i,st ,.l< lsa, ov.A hto tenance betrayed no token of pain.
 The dentist paused, and wicked gleam danced in his eyes. "l fear hurt you," he remarked softly and tenderly
 "Oh, no, not at all" "jauntily replied the nervy man, and settled back for another spell.
 And now all the latent dlabolism of the operator stood revealed. No longer assuming veil of humanity, he worked his internal instruments with open savagcry, grinding, yank- ing, boring, filing and stabbing with an undisgnised and sheoline relish. But nothing discomposed the imper- turbable New Yorker.
 "There!" finally screamed the dent ist, "I know that must have hurt "
 "Oh, no, not at all," observed the customer, with sweet smile, and making some casual remark about n picture on the wall.
 It was too much. The fiend yielded. He laid down his tools, drew off the napkin, and as the nervy man sann- tered out of the chair and paid him his fee with compliment, he cx- claimed
 "Well, you are the most disinter ested man l ever saw"
The Arkansaw traveler., 1888-02-25

lords? Yes, sir. They were drink ing men, though the company did not know it. They had been taken of another two weeks run before, and coming down the line on this trip, had brought bottle with them. At the station above they had reached the limit, and in their drunken dew iltry had suddenly pulled out and left all the train crew behind. The con- ductor could not readily find the sta- tion agent, and when he did rout him out and get him to the office 1 was out of mine, and did not answer his call. The two men did not let the steam go down, and the train had crawled down to the crossing and had been stopped where I found it. The men were by that time too drunk to stand up, and had grabbed each other and rolled on the floor to sleep. was yet in the cab, trying to kick some sense into them, when the conductor and his two brakemen arrived on hand car, and after getting up steam we got the train over the crossing to the station. The two drunkards ought to have been sent to state prison, but for fear of the story getting into the papers, they were allowed to skip.

He Was There.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
 "Yes, am from Dakota" he replied to the hotel clerk.
 "That was an awful blizzard you had there."
 "It was that"
 "Were you in it?"
 "I was, sir"
 "And have the newspaper reports been esaggerations or not?"
 "They have not told it as bad as it was. One who was not there can have no idea of that awful storm. Why, sir, started to go out, and"
 "Were you in the house when it be- gan?"
 "No, sir. was in a hotel in Fargo and paying four dollars per day"
 "And you went out and what?"
 'I started to go out but went back. and little ring of us played billiards nearly all the time for three days. It was awful, sir-just awful. l hope never to see another while live"
 "I-I don't exactly catch on," stam- mered the clerk.
 "Why, three extra days was twelve dollars, wasn't it, saying nothing of cigars, drinks and billiards? No, sir. The reports have not been exaggerated in the slightest. It was simply awful awful. Give me a second floor front, please"
