acter were the result partly of innate
evil and partly of circumstances He
had received an excellent education and
had graduated from the New York Med
ical school in good standing. Up to that
time, beyond tendency to loose COM
pany and irregular habits, he had devel-
oped no noticeably bad tendencies. The
chances were that he would outgrow his
youthful follies and become useful
member of society.
Almost Immediately upon his gradua-
ton, however, his destiny took sinister
turn. At parting supper with his CON-
rades he got into a quarrel with one of
them. ending in a scuffle in which blows
were exchanged. The quarrel was
patched up and the two antagonists
shook hands and drank together, but
Horace secretly bore grudge and was
determined to ''get even." At the end
of The evening, his late antagonist being
somewhat the worse for liquor, Horace
volunteered to see him home. They
walked off together, Horace revolving in
his mind the scheme of some practical
joke.
That night Horace's companion was
found insensible on his doorstep with the
mark of blow from slungshot behind
his ear He never entirely recovered
consciousness, and died the next day
after uttering the name of Horace Dupee.
Horace was arrested on charge of
murder, and in default of bail was
thrown into prison After long series
of delays extending over year, he was
brought to trial and acquitted. The evi-
dence, though amounting to strong
probability, was not conclusive, and the
jury gave him the benefit of the doubt.
He went forth nominally free man, but
his social and professional career were
blasted ere they had fairly begun. The
shadow of the mark of Cain, if not the
mark itself, was upon him.
He might have changed his name and
and achieved success in another country.
But half from sullen obstinacy, half
from lack Of business energy, he did not
do this. Instead, he drifted into bad So
ciety and soon found himself in harmony
with it. The class of society in which he
had formerly moved ceased to know him.
The police began to take an interest in
him, but he was shrewd and cautious
enough to avoid falling into their hands.
Some of his escapes were very narrow,
but up the present time his photograph
had not appeared in the rogue's gallery
In such case, however, detection is sure
to come sooner or later. Some oversight
is committed. some pal turns states
evidence, or some fatality occurs
Since the time of his downfall Horace
Dupee had wandered from place to place
Rnd lived in most states Of the Union.
But again and again he returned to New
York, though he knew that he ran greater
risks there than elsewhere. At the time
we come up with him he had been absent
from the city for nearly year. 1t was

the conductor double fare, remarking,

No conversation passed while they

hand, what if Judge Ketelle should hap

certain they had never met; the Judge
had taken no part in his trial, either as

not her interest to protect him?

YOUNGSTOWN, June 7th-"Are the horrors
of the flood to give way 10 the terrOrS of the
plague?" is the question now agitating the
valley of the Conemaugh.
To-day opened warm. almost suItry, and
the stencil throughout Johnstown is almost
overpowering.
Sickness, in spite of the precautions of
the sanitary authorities is on the increase
and fears OF an epidemic grow with every
hour.
MALIGNANT DIPHrHERIA.
Five cases of malignant diphtheria were
found this morning in five houses on one
street, and the health authorities expect
much typhoid fever and kindred diseases
especially as the weather is growing warm.
A scarcity of vegetables adds to the danger.
NOT so BADLY DAMAGED.
The Cambria Iron Works were not dam
aged as badly as was feared. Half mill
ion dollars will cover their loss.
A young lad named Eddie Fisher, whose
mother and five sisters and brothers had
lost their lives i'll the food, to-day com
mitted suicide while in iI of despondency
by hurting himself from the top of build
ing.
As far as known only eighteen bodies
have been recovered in Coremaugh valley
to-day. One of them lay in the middle of
the road and had been driven over bv
wagons for two days and was horribly
mangled.
Two more cases of typhoid fever are re-
ported.

Ohio TO send 1900 laborerS.
The number of people missing from

The situation is good as far as reported.
The bodies are being gradually recovered,
but not in the large number of the first few
days. Last night several ghouls wander

choice of imprisonment or going to work

SUFFERING FROM INJURIES


Notwithstanding the fact that there are
many messages sent from here indicating
diseases-the result of exposure-are ex-
ceedingly common, the fact is that in the
very largest hospitals very few cases OF any
kind exist, and in over 80 per cent. Of these
the individuals are suffering from injuries
incurred during and after the flood.
NINETEEN LIVES LOST.
So many conflicting reports have been
published concerning the loss Of passengers
and damage to trains overtaken by the flood

Manager Pugh was asked to furnish the

OF the exact number OF people known or
