Men Fatally Shot ans. Loads for Two
M0rP-The Outcome of Bitterness En-
Geudered by Law suit.
HAMEESyILL o., Sept. "a terrible
tragedy occurred here last evening dur
ing the trial of the case of George
BarngrOver VS. Joseph Hiler. before
Esquire Vandament. A Mr.. Hitler died
some months ago leaving a will in
which he devised most of his property
to two of his sons and two daughters,
to the exclusion of other children.
There has been talk of conte ting the
will and much bitterness has been mani
Tested. This was a case for damages
under an alleged breach OF contract be-
tween Joseph Killer and Barngrover,
who was one of the sOns-in-iaw of Mr..
Hitler. During the trial Constable |. \.
Allen. another son-in-law, stepped to
the door, when pistol shot was heard.
Allen care staggering into the room
and fell across a chair, exclaiming:
'>John Hilel did it" Before the ter
rocized spectators could realize what
had happened. the murderer was seen
standing in the middle of the crowded
courtroom, and fired a second shot,
which took effect in the right
breast of George Barngrover, pass
ing entirely through his body. The
excitement was indescribable, the court
room being crowded with men and WON.
en- As Hitler rushed from the court
room into the darkness he was heard to
remark: Il have loads for two more

by the remark John Hitler. Jr., cousin
TO the murderer, and an important wit
ness in the case, and Attorney w. +.
Nc Beth, who has charge of the case for
the plainsiffs. The town is aroused and
searching for the murderer, who is still

QUAY AND KENNEDY.
The Republican Leader Attacked by
"A g5igot from Ohio.

Kennedy of Ohio, erstwhile its Lieu
tenant-Governor, bitterly arraigns, Re-
publican though both of them are, the
artful, silent Quay, to whom is attribu-
TED the success of Harrison's campaign
and who remains at the head of the Re-
publican organization. Keunedy's
words are bitter and deserved. Spoken
in the House of Representatives against
the foremost Republican politician of
the land and a member of the other
house. the speech created a sensation.
The Judas who took the thirty pieces of
silver and went and hanged himself
mas left an example for the Matt Quays
that is well worthy of their imitation"
Thus Numbered Mr.. Kennedy, and he
added, what is we'll known, but what no
Republican in public life has cared hith
erto todeclare, thata great Repu blican
leader Quay, who has remained silent
under serious charges, owed it to the
party at whose head he was to brand
them Infamous and prove their
falsity or to stand aside from leader
ship. He denounced him for doing
neither. The Republican party" con-
tinued Mr.. Kennedy. ''can not afford to
follow the lead of branded criminal"

Aside from his connivance with the
rerating frauds, there was nothing
about Tanners administration of the
Pension Office worse than Commissioner
Raum's allowing his son John to solicit
pension business on the strength of the
latter,s relationship to the head of the
bureau. Johns circulars, which he is
scattering over the West, are getting
into the papers, and it appears that he
takes pains in all of them to say that
he lis the son of Green 3. Raum, the
present Commissioner of Pensions, and
will attend to all business of the firm

Naturally this appeals powerfully to
soldiers, particularly invited in these
circulars to patronize the firm, who have
claims on file for pensions and have
been unable to get the same through to
final settlement" 1t is more scandal

wonder how many ever heard the won
dcrfui story of how Edison made bug :
II happened away back in loc0 or leel.
before thr electrician had become count
ana known in tie most remote corners Of
tie World. There had been three or four
persons Killed by the electric wires, and
people were seriously contemplating some
plan 70 get them out Of the way and >ull
keep The new wonderful white light.
Edison proposed that the wires be put
in tile ga pipes; tut how on earth was the
pipes TO be threaded" with the electric
wires;
After studying the matter one night Ed
i.nu said tO q fellow electrician "Why.
see here, johnson, Ill make a bug that
VIII drag a wire through every foot of
pipe in New York city il it becomes nee
e>eary.'
Make bug. :" exclaimed his companion
thinking the inventor had lost his mind,
''what III the word do YOU mean:'
Wei, III make a bug" saId the inven-
tor confidently, THAT VIII 20 where | send
him and drag a wire too"
4 few days afterwards he laid a curiouS-
ly constructed thing On the table in the Of
nee before time to 20 to work; it was his
gas pipe bug. 1t was constructed thus !;
minute electro magnet, carrying hehi d
it a f1ne insulated wire re-pawl. Now, Oh
serve-every time the circuit was closed
through the magnet the armature was at
tached To, the pawl clutched the sides of Il
piece of gas pipe provided for the occa
sion. and the magnet behind was drawn
towards he armature about the sixteenth
of an inch. When the circuit was opened
the armature reached forward ready to
take second step. Thus, at every clos
ing of the circuit the little bug advanced
one step, dragging the wire behind. No
doubt this description will be hard for non
experts To understand, but as everybody
knows something about electricity nova
days tolerably comprehensive idea may
be formed of how the bug travelled, even
though the reader never saw an electric
motor of any kind.

How Editors are Made.
STARTLING DISCLOSURES MADE BY RENT
IN A BOYS BREECHEs.

IN BOYS BREECHES.
The following story, which has never
before appeared in print. is told about the
editor of one Of Maine's most prominent
dallies by the Boston GLOBE correspondent.
When small boy his father, now one
of the most prominent men IN the state,
was then running printing Office and pub.
lished \ weekly paper in one of the largest
towns In kennebec county.
One day the advance agent Of show
came along and ordered some posters print
ed upon cotton cloth. His order was fiil-
ed. but for some reason he neglected to
call for them and they were thus left on
the printers hands. The printers wife
ran across them and. as cloth was then
high, she took the cloth home and
used it to line pair of pants she was then
making for the editor above mentioned,
then . boy of about 10 years Of age.
As the months rolled by the pantaloons
grew threadbare and at school one day he
accidentally tore the seat out leaving about
one foot of the lining exposed to view.
This in itself would have made the boys
smile, but they laughed till tears came
when they observed the following words
standing out boldly upon the lining in
large type:

gins At g.
