nor too delicate, and if bird that it

limit the choice. Beauty Of form and

victed of Libelang Quay.

Nicteu OF LhDehng quay.
BEAVER, Pa, Feb. 1.-The final act
In the criminal libel suit brought by
Senator Matthew S. Quay against the
Beaver Star occurred this afternoon.
The defendants, John II. Mellon, pro-
prietor, and William Fl. Porter, editor,
who were recently convicted, appeared
In court before Judge Wlckham for
sentence.
The court imposed penalty of six
months in jail and 5000 fine upon each
of the prisoners, the costs of the prose-
cution also being assessed against them.
Judge Wickham dashed the editors in
a manner which Mr.. Quay himself could
hardly improve upon. Among other
things he said
Had your arrest been followed by a
retraction, or even by silence, il would
have been possible to infer that no act
ual malice inst9ated the original publ
cation. You seemed determined, how
ever, to leave no possible room for such
an inference. Insinuations, inuendoes,
new libels, and indirect repetitions Of
the old appeared in the editorial col
umns OF the Star up to and including
the first day Of the trial"
The sentence occasioned some sur
prise. 1t was supposed that Senator
Quay would be satisfied with nominal
fine and perhaps one day in jail There
was a large crowd present in court to
near the sentence.
After sentence had been passed
Messrs. Mellen and Porter were taken
TO the county jail to serve their term.
1t is said that after short incarceration
an application will be made to the board
of pardons for their release. 1t is also
rumorcd that their fines viii he paid by

FIVE PEOPLE MURDERED.
An Epidemic of Crime That Terr0rize
the People of Johnstown, Pa.


YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Feb. 1.-Nothing
since the awful food in the spring 81
1880 has caused so much alarm as a
series of mysterious murders that has
been committed within radius Of 10
miles. Apparently all the five murders
were done by one hand, but so far de-
tectives have been unable to discover It's
owner,
On December 4th the body of we'll
dressed man was found in the woods
near Gallitzin with a bullet hole in his
head. The remains were those of a
prosperous looking man. The theory
of suicide, which at first prevailed, was
dlspelled by the position in which the
body was found. No clue could be
obtained as to his identy and he was
buried.
A week later the body of another man
was found about IL miles away with o
hole through his head. About this time
it was learned that George Myers, d
prosperous citizen of Frugality, had
disappeared and the body was identified
as his. Myers had $500 on his person
when he left home and he had beer
murdered for his money.
Less than week ago the decomposed
body of another man was found in the
woods near Bethel. The clothes were
Of good quality, but nothing could BIZ
discovered to establish his identity.
The horrible butchery of old mar
Kring and his wife and tile cremation q
their bodies four nights ago is attributed
to the same mysterious murderer, who
is evidently hiding in the mountain
ready to pounce upon any victim whom
he supposes has money.

Twenty Children Saved from an Exciting
New York Fire--One Man Carried Out

New York, Feb. 2.-Fire was dis
covered shortly after 0 o'clock this
morning in the Trinity Church mission
house, No. Gil Fulton street. On tho
second and third floors were 20 children,
all girls, in charge of several sisters. Be-
fore its presence was known smoke and
flames filled the lower portion of the
building, seemingly cutting off from
escape the children and sisters above.
Panic seized the children and they ran
to the window, screaming for help.
Hook and Ladder Company No. 10 is
located but some doors distant and the
tiremen were promptly on the scene.
Fireman Argue covered his head with
his coat and rushing up stairs through
the smoke, returned with five little
girls. He went back again and brought
out five more children. Other firemen
followed him and all the children and
the sisters were taken out in safety.
The fire was soon extinguished and the
damage will probably not exceed SO 900.
