|Chemeleck, aged IL and 6 years stepped

house, and, going up stairs shot down the
mother: The next morning the body of
the murderer was found about forty rods

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE DIsPATcH.I
ELIZABETH, N. j., September 1S.-Min-
ME Mcclure, young woman residing here
was declared insane by physicians to-day at
st. Michael's Hospital, and will have to be
removed to the asylum. Miss Mcclure be-
cam! demented over her failure to get
tidings of fortune which, she alleged, a
deceased bachelor uncle, Colonel Richard
Powell, resident of New Orleans, had
acquired, At his death he had willed the
bulk of it to his unmarried sister, now liy-
ing at Elizabeth. Miss Mcclure, on behalf
of her aunt, engaged lawyers to hunt up her
claim, but no will could be found by the
New Orleans authorities, nor could they
give any information about the dead Colonel
or his wealth.
This news broke Miss McGuire's heart as
she had fondly hoped to come into posses
sion of the inheritance, and couple of
days later she was found wandering aim
lessly about the streets. and was clearly be-
reft of her senses. She was taken by friends
to the hospital.

rsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
GREENsBURG, September ia natural gas
war is imminent here. Some time ago a new
gas compa :. composed of two or three Pitts
burg people, a Washington capitalist and one
or two others, was formed for the purpose of
supplying natural gas to the people of Green's
burg and surrounding towns. A very large
number of the citizens signed contracts with
the new company, as its rates were fully 20 per
cent lower than those of the Greensburg Fuel
COMPANY, an old corporation, the stockh olders
beng Colonel Richard Coulter, Senator George
+. HUI and others. An expression of good
feeling on the part of the old company not only
encouraged those having the new project in
hand, but 1t enabled them to secure patrons,
A few days ago an application VISA made to the
state Department at Harrisburg, for charter
for the new company, and then the old COM
panY instituted vigorous Kick.
The Secretary has addressed letter to Sec
retary Stone protesting against the granting of
the charter, alleging that it is purely for specu.
latlve purposes, and that the majority of the
citizens deplore the digging up Of the streets
again. He asks for a further hearing in the
matter. The members of the new company are
considerably exercised over the unexpected
turn affairs have taken. They claim to have
one OF the best producing wells in the Grape
vile district and arrangements having been
made tor laying the pipes, they propose to fight
the opposition tothe end.

Peculiar Body of Religious and Scientific

CHICAGO, September 1S.-On the north
west corner of Cottage Grove avenue and
College Place stands fine double four
story brown stone-front building. Over the
double front stoop is a sign bearing the
words, "College of Life" Here reside
about IA men, mostly gray headed, and
about IA women, mostly young and good
looking. The head of the household is DR..
Cyrus r. iced. What the college of
Life" is, and what those 2S people are after,
is something of puzzle.
But, according TO their own representa-
tions, they are religious and scientific re-
formers, their speciality being new theory
concerning married life and chastity as re-
lated to Godliness and Immortality. They
look up to DR.. iced as an inspired teacher,
and some say as a Christ. A long interview
with Teed is published, in which he sets
forth his peculiar ideas, and this is followed
by interviews with a number of husbands
whose wives have deserted them and Joined
the Teed aggregation. They unitedly de-
nounce him in the roundest of terms as
breaker up of happy homes.
