A MurderOns RGbbrr.

HAZIEToN, Pa, December John
Wittick, a Bohemian, who boarded with
John and Mary PutleSny. returned to
the house last night, and finding the
woman alone demanded all the money
she possessed She refused To comply
and he dealt her a blow with an axe.
She fell To the floor unconscious and he
proceeded to pillage the house, taking
from bureau $50 in money and "A val
urble watch.
While he was ritiing a trunk Mrs.
Putlesny regained consciousness. Fear
ing she would give an alarm, Wittick
sprang upon her and struck her a terri
BILE blow with an axe and once more
Frustrated her. Wittick then procured
"A rope, tied ii around the woman's neck
and with a stick he twisted the rope un-
til the blood oozed from her ears The
tiend would have made complete Job
of IT but for the timely arrival of one of
the boaTders, who burst open the
fastened door. Wittick, seeing discov-
cry inevitable, jumped through a win
dow and escaped. The boarder at once
set about resuscitating the woman and
after applying restoTativeS she revived
sufficiently To give an Ineligible account
of her fearful experience. A posse at
once started in pursuit of Wittick and
found him hiding in barn a short dis
tance away. Threats of lynching were
INDUCED in, but officers secured the
prisoner before they could he executed.

Germany's Sensation.

BERLIN, Dec 5.-Germany has a SEN
sational scandal concerning the equip
ment of its great army. 1t appears that
the Loene rifles, with which her 425, 900
soldiers are armed, are worthless for ac-
tual service, and that some officer or
officers high in rank have betrayed the
secret The Emperor and his staff are
agitated. There is likely to be an up
heaval.
The whole thing came out on Saturday
in the trial of rector Ahlwardt, an anti
Semitic member of the reichStag, who
was arraigned in the Moabil criminal
court on charge of slandering Mr..
Lowe. After having been taunted for
lack of veracity, Ahlwardt produced five
official documents which proved to be re-
ports made 10y colonies to their generals
adverse to the Lowe guns. These must
have been stolen, probably by an officer,
who, if found out, Is liable to ten years
penal servitude.
\ greater scandal or more sensational
episode could not have occurred. The
army officers, who were present in large
numbers, many of high rank, were
aghast At first they looked incredu-
lous, but when the judge examined the
documents and pronounced them au-
thentic their dismay knew no bounds.
TeiegraphIc messages were at once sent
To the emperor, who Is shooting in Sax
ony, to apprise him of the startling de
