Rapid Flight Of Bumbl. Bees,

A writer in Gleanings in Bee Gull
ture asks the question "How fast do
humble bees fly." and answered by
relating an experience in England d
many years ago, on an engine which
was going ut tho rate of nearly sixty
miles an hour. which was chased by
a bumble bec that found no difficulty
In going around the smoke stack sever-
al times at this almost incredible rato
OF speed. While the bee was going
with the engine it must exceed the
mile-a-minute rate. The report says
this was kept up for six or eight min.
utes during which time the engine
passed over as many miles. This
seems an incredible story. entirely at
variance with our experien CO with
humble bees. We have often outrun
them. and. In fact the bee rarely chas.
es any one more than fifteen or twenty
rods. usually a much less distance, IL
Is also easily thrown of the track. Per.
haps the bee lighted on the smoke
stack. and was carried by it without
being seen. II this occurred for even
five minutes while the train was going
at such a rate of speed. the humble
bee would never reach its home. but
be hopelessly lost. We cannot believe
that bee of any kind can fly as fast
as Is here reported. Probably with q
bee in full purs uit the observer be-
came excited, and did not distinguish
between the bee trying its sting
against the smoke stack. and an in
furiatcd enemy pursuing him with
greater velocity and ferocity than bees
ever did before.

WASHINGTON, SpeciaI.-Mrs. Harrison is

then, OH, Mrs. Harrison, stop and think Of
what an awful mistake you have made by

A FAMlLY's sUFFERINcs.
Scanty Allowance to a Family of
PENNSYLVANIA Paupers.

oCdnty allowance TO a Family OF
Pennsylvania Paupers.
INDIANA, Pa, Spccial.-At the trial Just
ended of Washington Butler and p. NJ.
Dodge, ovcrsecrs of the poor, charged with
neglccting their duty, terrible story was
told by witnesses under oath. Five years
ago Edward Wishcrman became sick, and
was removed to home owned by his wife
in BHrrell township. His father-in-law was
also quartered in the same place. Both
men. being unable to work, were allowed
s. per week by the oversocrs. In 1887 the
iathcr-in-law died, and the allowance for
the family was reduced to SLIGO per week.
In the emeantime Wislierman's body became
mass of corruption, with running sores,
and he was unable to do any kind Of work.
The allowance was reduced to $1.25
per week for family OF five, an
other child having arrived. The cloth
ing was of the scantiest, the
neighbors testifying that they were ashamed
to look at Mrs. Wisherman on account of
the scarcity Of her apparel, which was the
same winter and summer. Fuel was so
scarce in the winter that logs were used by
resting one end on chair with the other in
the fire. AT the same time the children
were without Shoes The food consisted of
corn meal one week and flour the next,
with some rice and tea. All five had to
sleep in one bed to keep warm. While Mr..
Butler was ovcrscer Mrs. Wisherman was
confined twice, and in neither case did she
have medical aid, and none at all except
that of her husband. Mrs. Wisherman
had to go two miles away to get corn meal
and flour and carry it home. On one of
these trips she. gave birth to still-born
child and carried it home in her apron.
The child was buried by an ovcrsecr, but
Mrs. Wisherman received no medical at
tention. The defense claimed that no order
of relief had been taken out before two
justices in Wisherman's behalf, and that
consequently the paupcrs were not legally
on the township. The defendants were
discharged.

COW is clearer.
1t does not roam about the country

1t has no hair and no horns, nor hoofs.

more like a chicken, and its name
comes not from its shape, but from its
habit OF living on grass ana green veg
etables instead OF eating fish or flesh.

A TERRIBLE DEED.
A Father Kills His Wife and
Three Children and Then
Himself.
Criminal neglected. Paupers in
Pennsylvania Revealedby
Investigation.

MILES, Ohio, Spccial.-To-night was dis
covered one of the most wholesale and
bloody butcheries that has ever occurred in
this section OF the state. The victims, five
in number, are Charles Shclar, wife, and
three children, and the crime is supposed
to have taken place carly this morning
When the inhuman decd was discovered all
tive bodies were stiff and cold in death
with their throats cut from car to car.
Shelar and his wife were lying together
across the foot of the bed and the three
children were on the floor in different parts
of the house. Shelar was mill man and
had steady employment, but of late drank
heavily, and it is rumorcd that he and his
wife did not live happily together. The
theory advanced is that Shellar in fit of
madness cut the throats of his wife and
children and then his own. The weapon
used was razor, and was purchased by
Shelar of a hardware dealer Saturday night.
The street in front of the house has been
densciy packed all evening with an excited
populace, all eager to get glimpse of the
ghastly spcctaclcs.
DISCOVERY OF THE TRAGEDY.
Kittie Nnckcr, little sister of the muir
dered women, caused the discovery of the
tragedy. She went to the house to deliver
the evenings milk, as usual, and was un-
able to gain admittance to the
house. Charles Mossman was in the
vicinity and she told him about it.
He went with her to the rear of the house,
and finding door open, entered. The first
floor of the house was deserted, but ter
rible sight met their eyes in the second
story. Tho dead baby was on the
floor of one room, two murdered chill
dren, with gaping, bloody throats, lay
in their bed in another chamber, while the
murderer and his wife were claspcd in the
embrace of n bloody death on their own
couch. 1t appeared that the wife was the
first victim, and that she made a
desperate fight for life. The broken
handle of the razor was found by her
side. Then he went to the room where the
cightccn-months' old girl lay and nearly
severed her head from her body. Then
came the bloody slaughter of the girls aged
five and seven years. Tho murder
then apparently took a lamp, went
to q mirror, and deliberately cut his
own throat, and, staggering to where
his wife lay, threw himself upon
her body. The scene of the tragedy was
sickening. Niles is intensely excited, and
strong men who viewed the bodies turned
faint and rushed into the open air, and
women had to be borne out of the house.
The only theory advanced thus far as to the
cause OF the crime is insanity.
