MURDER IN HER HEART,
A Mother Narrowly Escapes BE
ing Killed by Her 6-Year-OId
Child

STARKvILLE, Miss, April 23.-
What came near being a murder
unique, in .all probability, in the
history of crime, happened here
day or two ago. Mrs. Helena Mat
terson, the wife of Major J. G. Mat
terson, prominent lawyer and prop.
erty-holder of this vicinity, under
took to correct her little daughter,
child of six years, when the little
one, runing to desk belonging to
her father, hurriedly opened a driver
and drawing from it a revolver
pointed it at her mother, crying that
she was going to "kill mamma"
Mrs. Matterson, knowing that the
weapon was loaded, looked every
moment for the child to pull the
trigger, and, realising that her only
chance lay in strategy, began to
weep and to appeal to the little girls
good feelings.
This soon succeeded, and, replac-
ing the revolver, the child's features
relaxed, and, Fastening to her
mother, she threw her arms about
her and wept in penitence. AS soon
as possible the lady removed the
weapon beyond the little spitfre's
reach, and talked to her of the wrong
she had committed, but Mrs. Matter
son declares that for a few moments
the child had murder in her heart
toward her, and that but for her
readiness to divert her thoughts she
would have died at her childs hands.
The little ones father killed man
few months before her birth, and,
though acquitted, this episode has
made SO great an impression on him
that he has joined the church and
publicly professed his penitence.

The Great Leather COmbime-One
Hundred Millions in it.

The Hancock Herald says that it's
reporter interviewed Thos. Crary
and VIM. A. Hall, Tuesday, relative
to the newly organized combination
of sole leather tanners. The gentle
men did not believe the combination
would materially effect the price of
leather. All the hides will be bought
by one set of men at great saving
to the individual operators to whom
they are to be delivered, and another
set of men will find market for all
manufactured leather. The expense
of selling the leather is five per cent.
Of it's value, and the individual tan
ners have had it talked to them that
practically all the expense will be
saved them. Each tannery will go
into the trust and it's owners will
take it's value in shares of trust stock.
1t is alleged that Thomas Proctor,
of the Proctor Leather company, will
direct the operations of the gigantic
corporation, which will represent a
capital of fully SlOO,0O0,o00. Agents
of the pool are expected in town any
time to examine the Crary plant, its
capacity, equipment, land titles, etc.
The tanneries whose legal titles
are being examined in this vicinity
are: Chemung county, the Palmer
& Decker tannery, Elmira, and the
r. NJ. Losey tannery at Wellsburg.
Steuben county, Germania tannery
at Lindley, the tannery at South
Addison, and the Curtis tannery at
Campbell. Tioga county, the A. j.
Decker tannery at Waverly, the one
at Newark Valley and one at Berk-
shire. In Broome county, the Bos-
ton Ideal at Vestal, and in Delaware
county, the Crary Brothers at Han
cock. In Sullivan county, Pa, the
Laporte tannery, owned by James
McFarlane & Co., the Stevensville
taunery, owned by D. L. Stevens &
Son, and the Hillsgrove tannery,
owned by Hoyt Bros.
Roscoe Crary, Of Crary Bros, is
one of a committe of ten who are
now inventorying the Osterhout
tanneries in the Adirondacks in the
vicinity of Watertown and in Lewis
and Heckimer counties.

@Keeper," from the hat. Both MUIR
derers were dressed in dark clothes,
as the prisoners in the death house
do not wear the prison garb stripes.
There are no guards on watch out
side of the prison at night, and the
two condemned murderers made
their way down the slope or bluff
from the prison grounds to the shore,
where they easily obtained a row
boat which is used by the prison
officers.
In this boat they are supposed to
have rowed across the river to some
point at or near Nyack or Haver-
straw.
RESCUE OF THE GUARDS.
AS soon as the relief watch, Keeper
Dernbecker and another, discovered
Keepers Murphy and Hultz locked
in Pallister and Roehl's cells they
realized fully what had happened.
They at once released Hultz and
Murphy. Word was quickly sent to
the house of Principal Keeper Con-
naughton, who lives in the old
female prison on the hill opposite
the warden's Office.
Warden Brown and his son, Elliot
Brown, were also aroused, and search
was promptly instituted for the two
murderers. They were easily
tracked to the shore where they had
secured the boat. Nothing could
be seen of the boat or oars.
WERE THE GUARDS BRlBED.
8 dispatch from New York says
that Assistant District Attorney
Mcintyre, who tried Roehl's case in
the Court of General Sessions, looked
very grave when informed that the
convicted murder had escaped from
Sing Sing. He said: "Roehl will
be hard man TO capture. He is a
dangerous man to be at large, and
you will remember that he tried to
kill me at the time of the trial. am
inclined to believe that he had out
side assistance in order to effect his
escape"
do you mean that the guards
were bribed ?" asked the reporter.
81 mean," said Mr.. Mcintyre,
"that Roehl's brother arrived i'll this
country last week with $4,000 in
gold and with the expressed intent
ion of liberating his brother"
"Whether he used this money in
helping his brother to liberty, L can
not say at this moment"
Lwyer E. Townsend Goldberg
who defended Roehl, said that on
April 12 he took Roehl's brother up
to the prison to see the murderer
They went to Roehl's cell and his
brother talked to him in some for
eign tongue. The guards were most
negligent during the interview.

SOCIETY OF LAPORTE, PA.

The drink question in Germany is
becoming one of the Acknowledged
Importance in its political economy.
Professor Schneider, of Berlin, an
able political economists, thus writes:
Among our working people the
conditions of domestic life, of edu-
cation, of prosperity, of progress or
degradation are all dependent on the
proportion of income which flows
down the fathers throat. The
whole condition of our lower and
middle classes-one may even, with
out exaggeration, say the future of
our nation-depends on this ques-
ton. If it is true that half of our
raupers become so through drink, it
gives us some estimate of the costly
burden which we tolerate. No other
of our vices bears comparison with
this"

When the World Falls to Pieces.

The leading English scientists,
Jones, Hilton, ct al, are figuring
on the probabilities of the earth fl
nally colapsing as a result Of the
modern craze for tapping nature S
great gas resorts. They argue that
the earth is a huge balloon held up,
in part at least, by heat and inter
nal gases, and that when natures
great gas main is eventually ex-
hausted the earth's crust may break
in and fall into millions Of frag-
ments! Ugh! The very thought
OF such q calamity is startling.
They argue that the steady belch-
ing forth Of milliOnscf feet of gas
every hour Of the day and night is
surely causing a great vacuum
somewhere not far beneath the sur
face, and that sooner or later the
thin archway of earth crust will
give way. Then will occur the
grand climax of all earthly calam,
ities.-St. Louis Republic.

BLEEDING KANSAS.
A Destructive and Death Dealing

PERRY's KAs., June 22.-The
most destructive and death dealing
cyclone that ever visited western
Kansas passed through Williams
town and the surrounding country
in Jefferson county, about 7o'clock
last evening, and travelled south
east and took in a scope Of country
half mile wide and about six
miles long. Not a house, barn or
tree was left standing in it's path.
1t was accompanied by a terrible
ram storm and midnight darkness.
Eleven dead bodies have been so
far discovered, and it is known
that at least five more were killed.
The dead are:L. E. Evans, Emery
Evans Mrs. John Hutchinson, Sam
uel Kincaid, Clara Kincaid, Sadie

her body. Three persons are
known to be fatally injured and
many others seriously hurt. The
fatally injured are: James Baker
William Goepfert, Mrs. Goepfert.
Seriously injured Rsse Gray, Hor-

PenSiOned Bald.headS.

Representative Tarsney, Of Mis-
souri,, created a sensation in the
House few weeks before the ad-
iournment of the last session of
Congress by declaring that under
Raum's administration Of the Pen
sion Office, pensions had been grant
ed for no other disability than the
loss Of hair. Republican members
of tine House bitterly denied the
statement and called upon Mr..
Tarsney to give. the name Of his
informant, and the next day Raum
sent a letter to Representative
Circuit, of Vermont, officially deny
ing that II pension has ever been
allowed for badness, and again Mr..
Tarsney was asked his informant's
name. Mr.. Tarsney replied by say
ing that his informant was an en-
plOyee Of the Pension Office and
would be dismissed if his name
were mention. He added however
that he believed the statement to
be true and said: II make this
pledge to the House; that at the
very first opprtune moment it can
be safely done, | shall, by the files
and the records of that Office, prove
the truth Of my informant's state
ments, or hold him up to the scorn
of the House and the country as a
falsifer, character | do not be-
lieve he deserves" Two days be-
fore the inauguration Of President
Cleveland, DR.. Warren Holt, Of
Missouri, a medical examiner in the
Pension Office, was dismissed under
the charge of having given false
information to Representative
Tarsney. Now for the sequel:
this week quite accidentally a case
was discovered that proved Mr.,
Varsney's to have been strictly true
and the dismissal Of DR.. Holt to
have been unjust he has been re-
instated. The case is that of Allen
G. Peck, Co. Fl. 1st r. |. Light Ar
tillary, who was allowed a pension
Oct. 10; 1891, to be dated from Mar
4. 1884, of 81, II month, the only
disability alleged, being loss of
hair; result Of typhoid fever"
Whether there are other men draw
ing pensions for badness remains
to be seen, but Mr.. Peek will draw
no more money on that account.
1t is understood that Sec. La
mont's action in revoking his re-
cent order appointing an army
Court of Inquiry to iquire into Col
Ainrworth's connection with the
accident at Ford's old theater was
the result Of a conference with
President Cleveland, and that it
had been definitely decided not to
suspend Col. Ainsworth until the
courts decide whether he is guilty
or not He will be indicted by the
grand jury this week.

LYNCHBURG, Va, June 22.-In
the north side of Stone mountain,
six miles from the mouth of Stony
creek, in Scott county, has been
discovered natural ice-house on a
grand scale One Of the old set
Tiers first discovered it about 1880,
but owing to the fact that the land
on which it is situated could not be
bought, he refused to tell its where

{ He died without reverling the Sc
cret to even his own family, and
but for party Of "Seng" diggers
entering that region, it might have
remained Il secret for generations
as it is situated in an unfrequented
part Of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from
the rays Of the sun by a thick
growth Of moss resemblingin tex
ture, and like moss that can be seen
dangling from the oaks in Louisi-
ana and Texas. Its formation was
after the fashion Of a coalvein, be-
ing few inches thick in some places
while several feet in others. The
formation indicates that it had
been spread over the surface in a
liquid state and then CONCEALED
BY what process it freezes or was
frozen is a matter Of conjecture a

think that it was formed in thu
