did silk stocking for men-a

stock-they are in sizes from

the price is an objection, but
that is removed in this case
and you get a 81 silk stocking
for so cents.
The second number is a
genuine Isle thread stocking
for men, from the same i'm
porter for the same reason,
and more men wear Isle than
silk probably because of cost

sacrihce-Sizes 9 to II and

LEeANoN's DOUBLE MURDER.
An Insane Man wieids an Az with Deadly
Effect.

Effect.
LEBANON, n. H., June 12 I'm two story
frame farm hcu :, about a quarter Of mile
from Meriden village, hved Mrs Orville Free
man, 67 years of age, and her son Lucien,
aged 30, who carried on the farm. Freeman
is sub5N5 to spells Of hereditary insanity,
and, although he was not considered a dan.
gerous person, 1t has been necessary to watch
him closely at the times he was suffering
from these attacks. A brother named Fred
stayed with him Friday and Saturday nights,
but being unable to leave his own work, he
engaged John Morgan, Of Meriden, TO go tc
the home place and take care of Lucien.
Lucien retired as usual Monday night, but
during the night he left his own room on the
second floor, and, gong down stairs, occupied
bed lounge. Early in the morning he arose,
and, securing an ak, entered Morgan's room
and gave him two blows with 1T Morgan
was evidently killed by the first blow. II
would seem that Mrs Freeman must have
been aroused and partially dressed and had
left her room TO go TO the kitchen, where
she was overtaken by the murderer,
struck on the head with the AK and
killed. Lucien then left the house IN
almost a nude condition and started for
Orville Eaton's, distance Of two miles,
reaching there about $3.50 o'clock, and
aroused Mr.. Eaton, who took him into the
house. Subsequently Lucien told Mr.. Eaton
what he had done. The sheriff was notified
and arrested the murderer. He showed the
sheriff where he left the az in the pasture
near the house, and 1t was found covered
with blood. The prisoner appears perfectly
calm and readily answers every question.
The eoroner's jury rendered a verdict
against young Freeman, who viii be taken
to Jail at Newport II not previously de
clared insane he will be tried in September.
In his sane moments he expresses regret for
his deed, but seems unconcerned.

Wore Trouble At John.town.

The trouble that has been brewing came
late Tuesday night when VIM. Finn, of
Booth e. Finn, who secured nearly 1000
men 20 work in the ruins around town, had
a long consultation with Gen. Hastings, who
told him that Ryan g. Mcdonald had the
contract Mr.. Mcdonald was introduced to
Mr.. Finn and asked him 10 get him 1000
men and work the contract with him. Mr..
Finn Indignantly refused to do so, and unless
the governor yields and makes some conces-
sons it is believed that all Of the Booth &
Fliun men win leave Johnstown That will
leave Gen Hastings and Johnstown worse Off
than has been expected.
ONLY 200 or 800 Men VIII Work.
The official estimate is that for the present
% 600 persons must be provided with food,
medicine, medical attendance, and other
necessaries The food alone would cost
So, 500 day il il had TO be purchased The
supply Of clothing ON hand Is ample for all
present and prospective demands, but clothing
IS about the only necessary of life that would
not run short in Johnstown were the rail-
roads TO break down for a day. The number
Of destitute persons will decrease as fast as
the mills get to work and the stores are
started at which provisions can be purchased,
but it will be several weeks yet before the
great body of the survivors can become self
supporting.
Meantime the work Of clearing up the town
has come practically to a standstill upon the
transfer Of the job from the relief COMMITTEES
to the state. Most of the hired men have
gone home along with the volunteers, and the
state authorities say that they expect to
start in with only 200 or 800 men and grad.
ually to increase the number until they get a
full force. While the state is thus taking its
easy way, half Of the site of Johnstown will
be covered with reeking mud and filthy heaps
OF debris, steaming under the hot sun and
frequent rains, with dreadful vapors and
nameless odors
