THE REVOLVER WENT OFF.
Little Frank Price Accidentally and Fatally
Shot by a Companion.

Little Frank Price Accidentally and Fatally
Shot by Companion.
Frank Price is the 10y rear old son of John
Price, an employe ofthe CarnegieThirty-third
street mills, and resides on Brereton avenue
above Thirty-third street. The lad was &C.
cidentally and fatally shot in the back of
the head by a companion about his own age,
a boy who had in his possession an old-fash-
ioned revolver His name could not be def
nitely ascertained, but it is said to be Bird.
During the journey homeward the owner of
the pistol kept swapping it repeatedly and
pointing it at his companions, much to their
discontinue. The revolver was self-act-
ing one Just as the boys reached the home
of young Price, the lad, who had been toy
ing with the pistol. stepped up in the rear
of Price, placed the muzzle of the revolver
within few inches of his head and pulled
the trigger. To the surprise and horror of
all, sharp report followed. Price uttered
a piercing scream, threw up both hands and
then fell forward to the sidewalk.
An examination by the West Penn doc
tors showed that the ball, 32-caliber, had
passed directly through the scull, not crush
ing or splintering it, but simply making a
hole the exact size of the bullet. The ball
could not be located. This morning he re-
gained consciousness, and his dying deposit
tion was taken. He said his companion did
the shooting, but that itwas purely acci-

WILKINSBURG'S WOE.

Three Young People Struck by Locomo-
tive While Returning From a Ball-Two
Dead and One Dying-A Sad End to .
Pleasure Trip.
Early yesterday morning the fast st.
Louis express No. q, due in this city at 2:10
o'clock this morning, struck and instantly
killed Miss Alice Gaskell, a young lady
aged 20 years. and fatally injured two young
men, John M. Zeigler and William >Dewer
Hospital. Dewer died shortly after reach
ing the hospital, and his companion is lying
in very critical condition.
The young men were companions and fire.
quently went out to parties at Williamsburg,
Braddock and other places. Last night one
of them secured tickets for ball at Brad
dock. They left home about o'clock and
took the train for BraddOck. They re-
mained at the party until too late to catch
the last accommodation bound for wilkins
burg and so decided to walk home. During
the course of the evening they met Miss
Alice Gaskell, of Swissvale. She, too, had
missed the train and it was agreed that the
young men should accompany her home.
They started down the east-bound track so
that they could see the trains coming toward
them and thus avoid them. But it is
thought they stepped on to the west-bound
track to get out of the way of freight train
and before they had time to get back the
express dashed down upon them.
The engineer on the express saw the
young people, but too late to stop the fly
ing train. He stopped moment later and
the trainmen went out with the lanterns to
look for the bruised and mangled forms. A
sickening sight met their gaze as they
walked down the track. The remains of
Miss Gaskell were found between the rails,
crushed and almost beyond recognition.
Near her lay the form of young Dewer He
was terribly cut and bruised about the legs
and body. Zeigler was found on the side of
the track. He was struck on the head, and
was probably walking on the end of the
ties at the time the accident took place.
The back of his head was crushed in and
his shoulders were cut in frightful man

CARESSED, THEN SHOT.

Charles Roerdus, With His Arm Abo ut His
Wife's Mock, Sends a Bullet Into Her
shoulder-He Escapes the Police, but
Will BE Caught.
Charles Boerdus, while intoxicated, shot
his wife IN the neck yesterday at noon.
The couple live over Smith Bros dying es-
tablishment on Fourth avenue near Market
street. The injured wife is a sister of
the proprietors of the dying house. Roerdus
has been employed as cook at McCarthy's
restaurant. Yesterday he came home drunk
and demanded money from his wife.
She refused and he became angry. Seeing
this did no good he grew affectionate, and
putting his arm about his wite's neck, told
her how much he loved her. While in this
position he reached to his pocket, pulled
out revolver and fired.
The ball entered the left side of Mrs
Roerdus neck and lodged in her shoulder
People in the vicinity, hearing the shot,
came running in and found the woman on
the floor. During the excitement the
drunken husband made his escape and took
train to Homestead. The police learned
that he came back last night, but at a late
hour had not been able to locate him. He
will probably be captured to-day.
While the wound is bad one, Mrs.
Roerdus is not expected to die. She is at
home and is being well cared for

PULPUS IN A PLIGHT.
Detectives More Confident Than Ever
I That He Could Solve
THE DARK MYSTERY OF THE HILL
Information Secured Yesterday From a
Woman and Child.
THE HARD WORK OF THE OFFICERS

The mystery surrounding the death of
Sarah Joyce, whose body was found near
Sylvan avenue on Friday last, is slowly but
surely being unraveled by the police de-
partment. Inspector Whitehouse and De-
tectives Fitzgerald and Sterck have been
working night and day on the case, and
they were last night, for the first time,
certain that they will be able to properly
place the responsibility on the right
person. As the officers get further into the
details the chain of evidence seems to fasten
itself about John Pulpus, the colored man
now under arrest. .t-'
Last evening the officers, after much
trouble, succeeding in finding woman and
boy who passed along Sylvan avenue on
Thursday night of last week. Just ten min
utes before Sarah joyce left the house of
her mother-in-law, Mrs Mckinley. This
woman and boy say that they saw and spoke
to colored man who was lettering about
the spot where the body was found, and
though they do not personally know Pulpus
they give an exact description Of him.
Another singular thing has just come to
the notice of the police authorities,
and matter which still fur
ther casts suspicion on the prisoner.
The place where the body was found was
covered with mud of a peculiar character or
color An examination of the prisoners
clothing disclosed that his hat was covered
with mud of the very same kind, and while
no particular significance IS attached to
this, yet it is held as being trihe suspi-
cious.
The police authorities are advancing 10
theories as to the girls death; what they
are after are facts, and they confidently claim
that when the Coroner is ready to resume
the inquest on Saturday morning next they
will have the case sufficiently worked out
as to be able to fasten the crime upon the
guilty party.

for his appearance at the inquest to-day.
JAMES BARTON, a brakeman on the Allie
gheny Valley Railroad, had hts arm badly
crushed while coupling cars at Thirty-third
street yesterday afternoon. DR.. Clark was

WELCOMED BY WOMEN.
The Relief Corps Entertains tho Soldier

The Relief Corps Entertains tho Soldier
Visitors at Old City Hall-Speeches by
Local Lights and Those From Abroad
Features of the Evening.
A rousing preliminary campfire was held
last evening in Old City Hall under the
auspices of the Women's Relief Corps. 1t
was for tine entertainment of the delegates
to the G. A. r. Encampment who had al
ready arrived in the city and the public.
About 800 were present. Mrs. J. K. Wal
lace, President of the Women's Relief
Corps, read letter of regret from Mayor
Gourley, who was to deliver an address OF
welcome|to the veterans. Ill health pre-
vented him from being present.
Mrs. Emma L. Lindsey spoke in behalf
of the Corps. She began by saying: 1--WE
had not anticipated so hearty a welcome as
the one Just rendered by our Mayors repre-
sentative and the words have been beyond
expectation. We are not unmindfuI of the
record of this great city and the good done
in the interest of the soldiers. We can
point with pride to the grand memorial
building at Brookville, Pa, which is our
grandest work. We hope to make it such
that not only the Women's Relief Corps
may feel proud of it, but that every citizen
of this great Commonwealth may feel the
same way She then dwelt upon the good
work of the corps in recent years.
Miss Millie Semmerlock sang "Kissing
Papa Through the Telephone" and was en-
cored.
State Commander George S. Boyer was
called upon and complimented the women's
work He stated he found Posts in much
better condition where there are Relief
Corps
Miss Helen S. Morrison dwelt upon Re-
lief Corps work and was heartily appiauded
Judge Harry White was the next speaker
and delivered one of his patriotic addresses,
with sufficient humor to drive away mo-
notony. He brought down the house when
he said if the Divinity had made made man
and not made woman He would have made
great mistake. He was followed by solo
by Prof Davis and a recitation by Miss
Millie Gardner. Comrade Bryant, colored
veteran, was called upon and delivered the
most interesting address of the evening. He
showed where the statement ''that the chill
dren of this country were being taught
patriotism" was wrong below the Mason
Dixon line. He denounced the carrying of
the rebel flag, as he claimed was done al
most daily in the South, and the erecting of
monuments to rebel chieftains He ended
by saying:
t'The patriotism growing in the hearts of
the young Southern negro, will before
many days ignite a torch, which will cause
one OF the greatests stirs you ever saw.

Two IpiUred, One Probably Fatally.

A street car on the Sharpsburg electric
line collided with grocery wagon at Fifty
fourth and Butler Streets, and seriously in
jured two little children who were standing
on the sidewalk, one Of them probably IA
tally. The front part of the wagon struck
the children, knocked them down, and the
debris of the wreck completely buried
them. One of the witnesses to the accident
identified the children as those of Hugh
Conway, millworker employed at the
Lucy Furnace. The children are both girls,
aged 6 and s years. They were placed on
an electric car and conveyed to their home
on Butler street extension. Physicians
were summoned and an examination of
their injuries showed that they were seri-
ously hurt. The eldest of the two is proba-
bly, fatally injured.
