BURNED A BOY TO DEATH.

8rutal Act OF Ilnmp Narrowly
Escapes Lynching.
BRADFORD, Pa, Nov. 14.-John Leg
gett, 13-year-old boy, died at his
mothers home in the Fifth ward last
night with burns that cover him from
head to foot.
Last evening at o'clock a tramp
sought shelter in an old shed which
party of boys used as a playhouse.
The tramp was drunk and amused
himself by singing ribald songs. The
boys tried to get the tramp to leave
the place, but he refused to go. Young
Leggett went into the place, in q
decent way, to eXpostulate with the
fellow ''for jumping the Doys' claim. "
The tramp had kindled fire in an
old stove in the shanty, and among
the truck in the place was bucket
partly full of crude petroleum. The
Leggett boy was standing. close to the
open fire, when the tramp deliberately
seized the bucket of oil and dashed it
over the boy in such way that what
did not strike him went into the fire.
OF course the flames followed the tor
rent of oil, leaping from the fire in the
stove to the little fellows saturated
clothing and in breath he was ablaze
from crown to toe.
The boy screamed for help, and a
railroad employee passing the place,
rushed to his relief. In spite of a gal
liant fight to save him, the clothing
was burned off the boy before the fire
was smOthered.- Delirious and raving
with pain the little fellow was carried
to his mother, and died two hours
later.
The tramp was enught near the round
house of the Pitlsburg, Rochester &
Buffalo railroad, and a crowd of angry
men were hurrJing preparations to
lynch him when officers arrived. and a
struggle began for possession of the
prisoner. So far as force was con
cerned the officers would have lost
their man mad not some of the
citizens joined them and induced the
wOuld-be lynchers to listen to reason.
Finally the conservatives prevailed,
and the terror-stricken wretch was
surrendered to the authorities. The
vagrant appears to be one of the toughs

LONDON, Nov 1.-THE quiet little
village of Petertavey in Devonshire
was yesterday thrown into a state OF
the greatest excitement by the crime
of a Tilted lover. A young man named
william Williams fell in love some
little time ago with Emily Dodge, the
daughter of farmer. His love was not
reciprocated, however, another young
man named William Rowe having
found favor with the girl. William,
became moody and morose when n
found that he had successfn
rival, but nobody dreame"
that he intended wreaking venge,
ance for his bighted affections.
Yesterday nearly all the villagers at
tended divine services in the parish
church. Williams was present, as were
Miss Dodge and Rowe. Nothing I'M
usuel was noticed in Williams actions,
but it was noticed that he kept his
eyes upon the girl throughout the ser
vices. and it is now thought that the
sight of her in company with Rowe ez-
cited his jealousy to such an extent
ClaJ he DeCdluc LCll oCi al - ll40|'AiG'
When the services were over Rowe and
Miss Dodge started to walk together
to the latter's home. They had
proceeded but a short distance
along the quiet country road
before they were overtaken by Will
Jams, who without a word drew re-
volver and fired two shots at Miss
Dodge, who fell dead in the road.
Rowe, taken completely by surprise
did not have time to raise hand to
protect his sweetheart or himself. The
moment the girl dropped Williams
fred two shots at Rowe, both
of which took effect. The
noise Of the shots attracted other
persons to the spot They found Rowe
lying unconscious by the side of his
sweetheart, while only few feet from
them was Williams, with a bullet in
his brain He had shot himself after
shooting the others. Rowe was taken
to his home, where he died this morn
ing. The condition Of Williams is
critical and there is little if any chance
of his recovery.

MISS MATHER NOW MRS. PABST.
The Talented Actress Secretly Married
to a Milwaukee Brewer.

The Talented Actress Secretly Married
to Milwaukee Brewer.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov 14.-Society
circles were startled yesterday by re-
port which spread like wildtire that
Col. Gustave Pabst, the oldest son of
Capt. Fred Pabst, president of the
world-famous Pabst Brewing company,
had been married at San Francisco to
Miss Margaret Mather on Wednesday
last. When seen on the matter Capt.
Pabst admitted that he had been in
formed by his son of the wedding but
declined to say anything further.
The bridegroom is &c years old, very
genial and generally we'll liked. He
was vice-president of the Pabst Brew
ing company until the concern was
consolidated lately with the Falk, Jung
& Borchert Brewing company, when
he was elected secretary. Two years
ago Gov. Peck appointed him colonel
and aid-de-camp on his staff.
Mr.. Pabst had gone to San Francisco
on business, as was stated at the time
of his departure. The marriage was
evidently a secret one.

DEACON DIVORCE CASE.

The Decision of the Lower Court Will
Probably BE Confirmed.
PARIS, Nov. lit was expected
that the court to which Mrs. Deacon
has appealed from the decision of the
tribunal Of the Seine that she has no
right to she her husband for divorce,
and ordering that Mr.. Deacon have
no custody of the children, will con-
firm the action of the lower court.
1t is likely that the case will be
heard Wednesday. Mr.. Deacon's law
yer will ask the court TO impose a fine
Of 1000 francs daily upon Mrs. Deacon
until she produces her daughter, whom
she abducted from the Convent of Our
Lady Of the Assumption as soon as she
learned of the desision of the tribunal
OF the Seine giving Mir. Deacon the
custody Of the children.

Boom May Come at Any Hour.

LoNDoN, Nov. 1.-THE Financial
News says it thinks that the long ex-
pected boom in American railway Sc
curities may come now any hour. The
American spectators, it declares, have
not yet grasped the potential source of
traffic expansion that will be afforded
by the Chicago Columbian exposition.
There is nothing extravagant in the
estimate that $3.50, OOO,O0O of foreign
money will be left in America as the
harvest of the exhibition Americans
will be literally burdened with money
seeking investment.

Prosecutor Beaurepaire's fellow-ten-
ants have lost in the action they
brought in court to compel their land
lord to accept a notice OF their inten-
ton to quit their apartments. The
notice which was held TO be illegal was
prompted by fear that the Anarch.
lists would attempt to blow up the
apartments of NJ. Beaurepaire.

$35, 900 which had been kept in
bureau drawer was missing. Other
sums OF money in the house were left
untouched, the thief evidently being
satisfied with his first haul. A prom1-
nent Philadelphia detective has been
at work on the case, but has thus far
failed to find the slightest clew to the
robber or the money.

Seamen Denounce Lascars

LONDON, Nov. 14.-The sailors and
fremen's union has issued a manifesto
warning the public to avoid steamers
that were manned by Lascars. The
manifesto says that recent disasters,
notably the wrecks of the peninsula
and oriental steamer Bokhara in the
straits of Formosa and the Anchor line
steamer Roumania on the coast Of Por-
tugal, have shown that Lascars are
unable to stand rough weather. If
British seamen had been employed on
these vessels the loss of life would have
been less.
