that the use of the lymph had transferred

They have killed people of by hundreds

for the lymph what some of his more en-
thusiastic followers have believed it would
do. They are using the lymph now in two
hosDitals-the charity hospital and one
other. But in this country the use of it in
such ways as 1t is used there would never

Il HORRIBLE CRIME
Killed His Wife and Four Children and
then Put an End 10 His Own Life.
Shocking Sight That Net q Women's Gaze In d
Nebraska Farm-Hsuse-All the Victims
Shot in the Head at Close Range.

ELLIS, Neb.. July 10.-Some time during
last night the most horrible tragedy ever
enacted in Gage county or this section of
Nebraska occurred. Abont 4 o'clock this
afternoon Mrs. DIR. Allen, of Beatrice, came
10 Ellis OF q visit to her brother.
John Ii. P~uterbaugh, who lived a mile
and q half south OF town. She was
driven to the farm by Louis Periing and
knocked at the door. but received no re-
sponse. Entering the unlocked door she
saw her brother lying on the floor near the
door, and supposed hat he was asleep. She
spoke to HIM, but there being no response.
she looked more closely snG saw blood on
ner brothers face. Mrs. Allen called Per-
ling in, who made an investigation and
found a horrible state of affairs. Ina bedi
n room in which the husband and father lay
was the mother with q bullet through her
head. In bed with her was a two year
old baby, also shot through the head. On
q lounge in the room lay q lsd of ten years
dead-shot through the head. In the room
above was another bed occupied by two
young girls, one thirteen and one fifteen.
both dead with bullet holes in their heads.
The dead were John Peterbaugh, his wife
and four children.
How they met their fate 10 as yet un-
known. The general belief is that the
terrible deed was the work of the husband
and father. The motive is unknown, as he
was a peaceable man in comfortable cir
cumstsnces and II is believed that no trouble
existed In the family. Coroner Wells. Of
Beatrice, arrived on the scene shortly after
9 O'Clock. and at q late hour tonight the in
quest is in progress. It seems certain that
q terrible crime was committed by Puter-
baugh. By his side, under his arm. lay q
thirty-two-calibre six-chamber revolver,
with all the cham bers empty.
The scene in the house was a horrible
one, and made the stron e%st-hearted turn
away. The faces Of the dead. although
covered with blood, were as calm as through
sleeping. No signs of fear were portrayed
on any of them. and there were no evil
dences of q struggle. All seemed TO have
been killed while sleeping. and were shot
directly through the skull. In every case
the pistol was placed so close to their heads
that the powder-stains were visible upon
pillows or bed-clOthing.
Puterbaugh was not a drinking man.
and had a reputation of being an honest
man and a good citizen. He suffered from
the grip last spring. and since then has not
been in the best of health. subsequently
complaining of a pain in his head. He was
man about thirty-eight or forty years of
age. His wife was a year or two younger.
The murdered children were aged as fol-
lows: Carrie, fifteen years; Mabel, thir-
teen; Charlie. ten; Ralph. two. One son
survives-Allen. seventeen years of age.
The survivor was away from home at
work. having left Wednesday last. Puter-
baugh was in Beatrice on Wednesday. and
IL is said he then purchased the revolver
with which the deed was committed.

PHILADELPHIA, July 10.-Master Work.
letter to Secretary of the Treasury Charles
Foster, of about five columns in length. in
regard to the discharge of the seven
Knights of Labor from the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing. The first column is
devoted almost entirely to personal vitu-
peration of the Secretary. in which he is
referred to as IAN a~rtifcer in political
trickery;" "a statesman who did not feel
too small to squeeze through the narrow
crevIce of deception and treachery." and
speaks OF 1.-The demagogue appeals to

sons for the protest. The Senator was
SHOWN his worthless character by the
knights and thanked them for their vigil
lance and withdrew his recommendation.
The master wOrkT had before him
when he wrote sworn statements of plate
printers on the Irregularities of the bureau,
but what he had detailed would show that
they had cause for complaint as American
citizens and Taxpayers If not as Knights
of Labor. He refers, IN q guarded way,

chief Meredith in connection with the use

Just before Mr.. WINDOWS death he
arranged to present these charges,
when death interviewed. He goes on to &C
cuse Secretary Foster with refusing to IN
vestigate the charges. and with sending
out garbled and malicious reports to the
newspapers after meetings between the
Knights and himself. He denies that
threats were ever made by the Knights to
defeat Major Mckinley.
Mr.. Powderly gives q facsimile OF aletter
written bv the Secretary to one of the
printers. which was alleged to have been
stolen from the Secretary, and which agrees
to reinstate the discharged printers. Some
more violent personal abuse fol-
lowed, In which the most insulting
and incident language is used against
the Secretary. He then devotes q little of
his vituperation to Mr.. Gompers. and &C
cuses him of pledging political support of
his organization to Mr.. Foster, in Ohio.
The master workman quotes another long
letter of his TO Mr.. Foster. and concludes
with another torrent of abuse.
