PRnotieal joking ENDS In y Terrible
Tragedy at Syracuse.
SYRACUSE, May 19.-Robert E. Drake,
. member of the Municipal Civil Serv ice
Examining Board and Vice-President OF
the Warden Manufacturing Company,
at .. M. shot Charles II Riggs, chief
accountant at Kennedy and Spaulding'a
wholesale hardware establishment, at
their lodging house, 3O1 Clinton street.
They are young men and practical
jokers, and were up for the purpose of
playing joke on u companion, Young
lawyer named Ryan, whose nous: ache
they were to cut off. Suspecting some.
thing of this kind, Ryan locked his
sleeping room door, and the youn, Incl,
were unable to get in. Then they
marched about the house aud played
soldier. Drake took down An old re
peating rifle which hung in the hall, he
says, and the two mGrched through the
hall.
Riggs marched into his own room and
closed the door after him. No sooner
had sc done SO than there was a loud
report, "a scream, and then Riggs cried
out he was shot. A bullet had gone
through the panel of the door and pene-
trated his back over the left kidney.
Two physicians were summoned ant,
probed for the bullet.
For two or three hours the young
man seemed all right, but at 9 o'clock
he began to sink, and about noon he
died. Before his death he made an
ante-mortem statement to District-At-
torney Hancock, generating Drake
from all blame. The supposition is
that the gun was cooked and that when
Riggs shut the door after him it struck
the muzzle of the snn and the concus
| sion discharged the weapon. Drake
gave himself up to the police and is
| locked up at the police station.
Riggs was IS years old, unmarried,
| and the most expert accountant in the
city. He came here four years ago from
Port Leydon, where his father is
| promine nt merchant. Drake is nearly
crazy over the unfortunate affair.

HORRIBLE DISCOVERY,
The Guest of . Pittsburs Hotel Awakened
BY Corpae.

The Guest of . PittsburS Hotel Awakened
BY Corpse.
PrTsBURe, May 19.-J. w. Wagsoner,
a guest of Boley's Hotel, was awakened
from his slumbers by something like a
tapping at his window. He got up in
bed and peered out into the night, and
was thrilled with horror to see the
white face of a corpse. The body was
hanging by a chain around its neck from
q window on the floor above, and the
wind in swaying it about caused the
noise that awakened Waggoner. The
eyes of the corpse were wide open, and
the hands were clasped together.
AS soon as Waggoner recovered from
the shock he alarmed the household.
The body proved to be that of John
Smith, an oil dealer He had gore to
the room about midnight taking the
chain used as a fre-escape. wrapped it
twice around his neck and swung out
the window, where he hung until he
was strangled to death. Several years
ago Smith lived in Edensboro. A muir
der was committed there in which he
was implicated with man named
Bowls and another named Brooks. Bowls
fed and Brooks was killed. Then
Smith turned States evidence and got
clear, but he was from that time on
known in the oil country us ;nurG 'rer
John Smith. To be callel by this nam g
preyed upon his mind and led to his
euicide

An Appeal Issued for Aid for the Dead

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1S.-The Bur-
CESS of Ashley has issued an appeal for
aid from the charitable public for tho
families of the miners killed in the
disaster at No. 4 slope of the Hartford
mine.
He solicits contributions Of food,
clothing and money. which may be sent
to R. Thomas, Burgess; Martin Dooley,
President of the Borough Council, or
e. Lindermuth, Treasurer at Ashley,
Luzerne County, Pa.
The funerals of number of the VIC
Tins of the Hartford mine took place
yesterday afternoon. Every available
space was occupied in the cemetery and
the road leading to it was crowded with
vehicles of all kinds containing sight
seers. Brief services were held at each
of the houses and consisted of singing,
praying, and in some cases short adj
dresses. The scenes were heartrending
in the extreme. Another victims funer-
al took place this morning, and the
curtain has been lowered upon another
terrible calamity.

He VIII Soon Figure ia One of the big
Railroad Corporations.
BALTIMORE, May 19.-Emmons Blaine
has resigned his position as assistant to
President Davis, of the West Virginia
Central Railroad Company.
His relations with the company have
always been very pleasant, and the only
reason assigned for his severing oonnec-
ton at this time is the fact that Mrs.
Blaine Is not altogether satisfied with
the circumscribed limits of Baltimore.
New York or Washington IL more to
her liking, and it is very probable that
her husband will shortly change his
place of residence.
Mr.. Blaine's friends say assistant to
the president of q comparatively I'M
known corporation is too small a place
for a man who has the means to own
corporations. He will soon figure in
one of the big railroad corporations.

A DANGEROUS BLAH

Gas Ii Being Made Fast and May Reach
the Firs-Prscautions Taken to Prevent
Loss Of Llfo--Twenty-nvS Mules Dead
at tho Bottom OF the shaft-Ths Ashley
Disaster.
SHAMoK1N, Pa, May 19.-The Neil
son shaft is on FIRE, having
caught from the burning timbers of
the breaker which was destroyed last
Friday night. The lower levels are
filed with gas. Twenty-Five mules at
the bottom are dead and nineteen on
the top levels will probably be suffo-
Gated.
The fire has now assumed serious
aspect. 1t is known to be in No. 10
vein, at a depth of 1000 feet, but its
extent can not be determined upon, as
alive Smoke and foul air was noticed
issuing from the air course of No. IL
level. The breaker fire destroyed the
boilers and one fan. Steam facilities
were obtained and q fan started to ven
tilate the mine, but it failed to drive
out the gas in the upper level.
The mine is making gas fast, and
| serious explosions will occur If it
reaches the fire,
1t has been decided to turn the Car
bon Run Greek into the shaft and drown
out the fire. 1t will take SO hours to
turn the creek, and if the fir is located
where the mine foreman thinks it is 1t
| will be three or four days before the
| water will reach the fire.
The gas and fire is so dangerous that
every precaution is being taken to pre-
vent loss of life.

THE bill to allow man to marry his
deceased wife's sister has had it's annual
success in the British house of commons.
As heretofore, the house of lords will re
fuse to pass the bill, which will then be
in healthful condition for its reappear-
ance at the next session. Parliament
would scarcely be able to recognize
itself, if this good old truepenny should
fail to come up smiling year after year.
The solution of the problem might be
