No littlo CONSERVATION, so it is re-

Friday by the arrival of the CHIKF-
TAIN containing Sheriff Henderson's
article upon the disposition OF our
lands. To pronounce the word "sllot-
ment, or speak Of the construction OF
a railroad. is said to be a signal for the
leading citizens OF that place to seek
the seclusion of their cyclone holes,
there to mediate upon the evils OF
this sinful and unregenerate genera
tion. Senator Bell is reported to have
offered to bet that east of Grand river

wha, Became of Mary zarn.

Saturday last we published an item from
the Ebensbur2 FREEMAN. stating it was
believed Miss Mary Zern. OF Carroll town
ship. was lost In the food. The article
stated that she was seen about a week be-
fore the food by an acquaintance, at a
house that was washed away, and the entire
family lost.
The facts are, sad to relate. only too true.
Miss Zern persisted in that terrible disaster
of May Slst. But she could have sayed her
self II she had had her presence OF mind, or
as Il looks from the story re lated by one OF
the survivors. II she had so desired.
Miss Zern, when rot otherwise engaged
made her home with her friend Mrs. E. p.
Brown. who resided at the time OF the dis
aster at No. 90 Conemaugh street, Second
ward near the Point.
On the fatal afternoon when the dam
burst, Mrs. Browns house was submerged
by water from the Conemaugh river. and
the lady became greatly alarmed. When
the terrible wave swept over the town, II
lifted Mrs. Browns eouse. In which, beside
herself, were her sister and husband and
Mary Zern, and huated It of. TIE house
fortunately aoated near the residence of
Mr.. Keagy, ana Mrs. Brown, her sister and
husband succeeded in making their escape.
Mrs. Brown, in relating her experience.
said that Miss Zern could Rave easily es-
capped. but she made no effort. she simply
sat down. aud folding her hands. remarked.
IF die to>nieht will be In Heaven to-
morrow.
Shortly after the house went 20 pieces and
Miss Zern was drowned. She was about
forty four years OF age, and a very devout
Christian. being a member OF the Catholic
church -.TohnStOtcn Democrat.

Murder at PhiIfpsburs.

At PhiipsburR. on Sunday morning last
w. 5. Hopkins, aged IS. shot and Insta ntIy
killed bis wife Maggie and his mother-in-
law Mrs WIgaman. and then tried to kill
himself but failed.
Hopkins has engaged in numerous quar-
rels with his wife during the past two or
three months. A week ago he assaulted
her and left home, returning Sunday.
They had another quarrel then In course Of
which Hopkins pulled a revolver from his
pocket and shot his wife dead
This occurred on the first floor of their
home. and the frenzied man after killing bis
wife, rushed 20 the third story, where his
mother-in-law was. and shot her too, killing
her instantly. Hopkins then left the house
aud fed 20 neighboring livery stable,
where be attempted to kill himself, firing
two shots ct his head with q revolver, neith-
er OF them doing much damage, however,
beyond ploughlng a couple Of grooves In the
top Of his skull.
Hopkins was arrested shortly after the
Shooting From letter found on his per-
son il appears that jealOusly was the cause
Of the rash act.

quireG amount of subscriptions The build
