A FATAL PRACTICAL JOKE.
George HeideI Plays Ghost and Almost

George HeideI Plays Ghost N Almost
Immediately Becomes One.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.1
EVANSVILLE, Ind, February 3.-George
Heidel, a young farmer residing about nine
miles below this city, lost his life last night
i n a singular manner. Adjoining his farm
is that of William Tompkins, a negro,
who for several. days past has been
clearing up new ground by cutting away
the timber. Knowing him to be supersti-
tious. Heidel resolved to play a practical
joke on him. Last night at about 2 O'Clock
he arrayed himself in white and hid in the
road where he knew the negro would pass.
In a short time Tompkins came along, with
an az on his shoulder, and Heidel jumped
from his covert.
The negro, in his fright, struck out with
the ak, splitting the head of the unfortunate
joker open to the shoulder and killing him
instantly. Tompkins then ran away, never
realizing that he had killed a human being,
and has not since been seen. No effort has
been made to arrest him.

THE HEROINE OF NIAGARA.
An Athletic Young Lady Who VIII be
Missed by Many Friends.
ESPECIAL TO TIL DIsPATCH.t

Missed by Many fftenuss
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NIAGARA FALLS, February 3.-Miss
Jennette Larke, who died in Buffalo this
week, will be remembered by people at
Fort Niagara and this place as one of the
heroines of the Niagara gorge. Miss Larke
was only % years of age, and was the
daughter of the late Alfred Larke, Lieuten-
ant in the Tenth United States Infantry,
who was stationed at Fort Niagara for sew
eraI years.
Miss Larke was fond of athletic sports,
and excelled in equestrianism, lawn tennis,
swimming and walking. She had a fine
physique, and was a splendid specimen Of
the athletic American girl. She was
a graduate of the State Normal
School, and when she died
was a teacher in the Bunalo
Female Academy. One of her feats was
swimming across the Niagara river at
Youngstown on August 16, 1886. This was
an unprecedented swim for a lady, and has
not been repeated. The distance covered
was fully a mile and a half, and the brown
eyed beauty emerged from the river on the
Canada shore remarkably fresh, and none
the worse for her trip. On this swim she
was accompanied by William Wilkinson,
Miss Larke some years ago saved the life
of q child of an officer of the fort. Inc
little one had been playing near the banks
of the Niagara, when 1t fell in. The current
carried the child away, and it would have
been drowned but for Miss Larke's presence
of mind. Removing some of her clothes
she sprang into the river, and, after consid-
cradle trouble, rescued the child. 1t was
sinking for the last time when she reached
it, and she had to dive to recover IL. Other
brave deeds are also remembered.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
Choking Catarrh.

Have you awakened from a disturbed sleep
with all the horrible sensations of an assassin
clutching your throat and pressing the life
breath from your frightened chestf Have you
noticed the languor and debility that succeed
the effort to clear your throat and head of this
catarrhal matter? What a depressing influence
it exerts upon the mind, clouding the memory
and filing the head with pains and strange
noises! How difficult it is to rid the nasal
passages, throat and lungs of this poisonous
mucus all can testify who are afflicted with ca
tarrh. How difficult to protect the system
against its further progress toward the lungs,
liver and kidneys, all physicians will admit.
1t is a terrible disease, and cries out for relief
and cure.
The remarkable curative powers. when all
other remedies utterly fail, of SANFoRD's
RADICAL CURE, are attested by thousands
who gratefully recommend it to fellow-suffer-
ers. No statement is made regarding it that
cannot be substantiated by the most respecta-
BILE and reliable references.
Each packet contains one bottle of the RADI-
CAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT,
and an IMPROVED INHALER, with treatise and
directions, and is sold by all druggists for 81.

A Lively Old Custom.

strange sight was witnessed at the
water trough In the livery stable of Harry
Leyan, in Reading. the other day. A
young man named Moore, who had hired
team. returned to the stables, when il
was noticed that the horses had been over
driven and abused. Without any ceremony
the young man was lifted ODDLY and
thrown sprawling into the trough. His
best Sunday suit was ruined. This Is an
old custom in eastern PENNSYLVANIA. One
OF the veteran liverymen Of the state Ia
Hiram Schiller. At his extensive stables
I'm Reading the men in charge frequently
throw dudes into the horse trough. Some
times customers, after using teams, have
no money to pay their bills. Those who
are professional beats are invariably
thrown headlOng into the water, summer
or winter, if they fail TO pay their bills, or
If they return the teams in bad condition.
I'm this way the liverymen have more satis-
faction and are more protected than If they
went to law.
