To Aid q Worthy Cause.

There is said to be much suffering
an ong the poor people Of the city and
county, and their condition will become
more pitiable when severe cold weather
sets in. It is important that all charitable
people look up urgent cases, and If not
personally prepared to offer relief, report
the facts to the proper authorities.
Many people hesitate, however, to le-
ceive aid from the comfy, and 60 with
out necessities rather than do SO. This
class is receiving the attention of the
Ladies Relief society, and much ia being
done to alleviate the wants Of destitute
families, especially IN the way of clothes
for children. Garments and shoes are
daily being gathered together and quietly
sent to those requiring anu deserving
help. The public can assist the ladies in
this matter by the exercise of little un-
selfishness.
Among other means of relief, is the
concert to be given Dec. Goth at the Con-
gregational church, to provide fund for
the purchase OF food and clothes for poor
children this winter, and not less than
1900 tickets should be sold. The enter
tainment will be a pleasant event in
itself, as the leading musicians of the city
are to take part, but the cause alone
ought to guarantee large patronage.
The Alert Is informed that every cent is
needed and will be faithfully applied to
the relief of distress.

There is large amount OF snow fence
repairing being done on the division and
10000 feet of lumber have been ordered
for that purpose. A snow fence at

FATAL ARRAY.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 2O.-A special
to the Register from Greenville, S. c.,
says a fatal cutting affray occurred at
Fountain Inn, sixteen miles below this
place this afternoon. Will Fowler,
Ed. Martin and J. H. Poole, became
engaged in a quarrel which resulted in
Poole being cut to pieces. A messenger
was sent for Sheriff Gilreath, request
ing him to arrest Fowler and Martin.
The Sheriff left at or ce for the scene of
trouble, Fowler says he will resist
arrest, and trouble is feared, as Sheriff
Gilreath is game and will make the
attempt to effect his arrest if he can be
found. The parties are all connected
by marriage and the row is the out
come of a family feud.

BERLIN, Feb. %, 1892.-Thep police of
Magdeburg, a large town seventy-slx
miles from this city, are instituting an
inquiry into a series of murders of ser
want girls, information of which they
have only recently obtained. The pris-
oners who are charged with the MUIR
ders in Magdeburg are a man named
Fritz Erbe and his fGncee, Dorothy
Buntrock. They were arrested on
suspicion of having murdered a ser
want named Emma Kasen. Accord
ing to the evidence both assised in
the work of decoying Emma Kasen
to her terrible fate, inducing her to
visit the place they had selected for
the commission of the murder on the
p~retence of furnishing her with a fine
situation at a large salary.
Since the arrest of Erbe and his COM
panion the police have been making a
diligent and SYSTEMATIC inquiry into
their antecedents, and they have dis
covered that the couple also decoyed
and murdered another girl, named
Dora Klasses, by the same means en-
ploy ed in the murder of Emma Kasen.
The clothing of the murdered girls was
found in their possession and will be
used as evidence against the prisoners
when they are brought to trial.

WAS 1T ARSENIC7

BANGOR, Me. Feb. 22-Last summer
an old hunter named Jarrett, who
lived ner Grand Lake died suddenly,
but no investigation was made. Soon
afterwards the family left the place
and settled in Mount Chase, another
community. Among other things they
possessed a quantity of cooking soda,
which was IL a tin box. This remained
undisturbed until a few days ago, when
in consequence of such blockades the
supply of soda in the neighborhood
became short, and Mrs. Jarrett drew
upon her long neglected supply,
She supplied all the families in the
n9ighborhOod, and as a result no less
than twenty eight persons, all of whom
ate of the bread made from the soda,
became alarmingly i'll. An old man
named Rider died after a few hours
and others remained for a long time at
the point of death. 1t is.supposed the
soda may have been placed in a box
which had contained arsenic used by
Jarrett at Grand Lake in curing skins,
and that his death was due to the
poison.
