Murder at CooperStoWn.

CooPERsTowN. Special of the
most horrible crimes ever committed in
this state took place Wednesday morn
ing fourteen miles southeast of Coopers.
town. According to an account pub
lished in the Courier, William Kerber,
farmer living alone with his hired
man, John Zobsk, got into deadly
fight with Ratchet, in which Zobak
loses his life and Kerber is badly
hacked up. Wednesday morning Ker-
Der claims that his hired man attempted
to rob him and deliberately struck him
in the face with Ratchet while he was
lying in bed, with the intention Of
killing him. The two men engaged in
hand to hand, life and death struggle.
so Ke1ber claims, and the hired man is
choked and forced on his back, the
Ratchet taken from bin and he is then
and there dispatched by Kerber. the
bstchet being driven into his head and
brains several times. Kerber says he
did it in self defense, and that if he had
not killed Zobak, Zobsk would have
killed him. A man is certainly justified
in defending his own life, but whether
Kerber was justified in killing Zobak
when he had him at his
mercy and could have choked or
pounded him into insensibility without
using the hatchet in the above de-
soribed manner and got out of his way,
is another thing, and the coroner's jury
has very grave case to solve with
only Kerber's side OF the story to go on.
The 70 I'M in which the tragedy was
committed IS a small enc. The bed
clothes are torn and smeared with
blood, the walls and floor likewise, the
stove is knocked down, and where the
dead man lay great pools of CONCEALED
blood snd gore lie in different places on

contemplate and shows that q vicious
battle for life had been fought. The
low ceiling contains the marks of the
Ratchet where the men had missed the
stroke. It is by long odds the gbast-
lest and bloodiest aft air that has ever
occurred in this state, and one of the
great number of cases which will never
be fully explained

he FEARED THE OPAL.
Its Baneful Influence Believed Even
by Father Mollinger,

Its Baneful Influence Believed Even
by Father Mollineer.
The belief that the opal sheds a
baneful influence found support even
in the late Father Mollinser, the VEN
cradle priest-physician OF worldwide
fame.
Last Winter one of Allegheny's lead
ing physicians presented DR.. Cyrus
King with an opal set in pearls. The
pin was an unique piece OF jewelry
and was very handsome.
DIR. King was physician for Rev.
Father Mollinger. One night, shortly
before the great priests death, the
doctor was summoned to the pretty
parsonage on Mount Troy. The aged
priest was weak. and lay there ap-
parently powerless. He asked the
doctor to come again the next day,
Mr.. King informeA him that he was
to leave for New York that night.
The venerable priest was lying on
his bed with his eyes half closed. &C
cording to the Pittsburg Press. Just
then an attendant turned up the
light and DR.. King moved forward to
say good-by. At that the priest
caught sight OF the ever-changing
colors OF the baieful stone.
What, an opal?" he gasped, hall
rising in his bed. "It's sure to bring
harm to yourself and your friends;
why do you wear it,"
The doctor explained the story OF
the gem, but all the time the vener-
able father grew more excited. Final
Iy he said eff you wear that stone
to New York you will never come back
alive"
The doctor insisted on wearing it,
however, and the priest took the gem
and blessed it. Then, returning it, he
said: "When you come back will give
yon Pin worth wearing.
On returning, the aged priest was as
good as his word, and the doctor was
presented with magnificent dia-
mond. DR.. King took the pin home,
intending to put in the opal and re-
move the diamond, but he forgot, and
when hurriedly summoned to the
death-bed OF the great priest lie still
wore the opal. The father at once no.
ticed it, and remarked: ats flashes
seem to make me weaker; the stone
bodes ill.," Gradually he sank, and the
doctor bent over him 10 catch the
beating OF his heart. The fathers
eyes opened and rested on the fitful
colorings OF the strange stone, and
watching it, his spirit went out.

A boy who measured three feet three
inches in height stood before JUS
tice Ryan recently. He was 6-year-
old Joseph Mitch, of 242 Elizabeth
street. Under his left arm he held a
bundle OF evening newspapers. A rag
ged hat was stuffed in u hole in his
blue calico waist.
Agent Fitch OF the Gerry society,
explained that he had found the boy
selling papers in front OF q concert hall
in the Bowery.
Before the boy could speak in his
own defense second figure, small and
ragged, slipped up to the prisoners
railing, and said:
"Dis is q horse on me, je'ge. Dis MID
