TERRIBLE WORK.
A Morphine Fiend Kills Two of His
Children and Then Puts Bullet Into
His Head-He Evidently Intended to
XIII All of His Children.

Kill All of His Children.
ERIE, Pa, Dec. 5.-Crazed by NOR
phine, Edward Cady yesterday muir
dered two of his children and killed
himself. 1t is more than probable
that he intended to exterminate his
entire family. Cady had taken NOR
phine for some years. He was fend
and required great quantity of the
drug each day. Before he contracted
that habit, he was an Industrious man,
and was known among his neighbors
as kind and loving husband and in
dulgent father.
Yesterday morning when he went
out, ostensibly for coal, he ran over to a
neighbor's house and borrowed a re-
volver, saying that he wanted to kill q
cat. He came back to the house and
induced his wife to go out. She had
hardly crossed the threshold when
Cady pulled the revolver out Of his
pocket and began the work of slaugh-
tering his children. He shot his little
daughter Bertha, who sat working
some examples on a slate, The bull
let hit her in the back Of the head and
tore away large piece of her skull.
She died instantly.
Cady then turned and shot the boy
Walter. He held the pistol close to the
little fellows temple, and he, too, died
instantly. Cady turned to continue
his butchery. He pointed the revolver
at his son Albert, but the boy was too
quick for him, and jumped through
the door before the father could fire.
Albert called wildly for his mother,
and she rushed into the house. The
crazy father was ready to sacrifice his
remaining child, the baby Hazel, who
stood watching him in mute astonish-
ment.
As Mrs. Cady ran shrieking into the
room, Cady turned the revolver from
the baby and pointed it at his own
head. He pulled the trigger and sent
a bullet crushing through his brain.
He dropped dead to the floor, falling
across the body of Bertha.
Mrs. Cady gave an alarm and then
swooned. She has not since regained
consciousness.
Cady was AZ years Of age. Until the
morphine habit got control of him he
was considered a man Of more than or
dinarV intelligence.

A good workman likes good tosas.
but in an exigency he can get along
with very simple and homely contriv-

cites q striking example:
A well was to be cleaned, but the

afraid to 60 down until he had tested
the Quality Of the air at the bottom.
He let down lighted candle, and
when 1t was about six feet from the
bottom 1t went out as suddenly AZ II

know. The well was fun Of poisonous
gas. He took small umbrella, tied
q string to the handle, and loWffed 1t,
open, into the yell. Then he drew II
up, carried 1t few feet from the well,
and upset it. This oteration he repeat.
ed twenty or thirty times, with the by
ISLANDERS, who dre never absent on
such occasions, all laughing at him.
After this he let down another can
die. 1t burned clearly even at the bot
tom. Before going down to his work
he explained to those who had been
making fun of him that the gas in the
well was carbonic acid gas, which Is

HE CAUGHT THE TRAIN. =
But Gave Himself Deal Of Unnsces-
sary Trouble In Doing So.

But Gave Himself Deaf Of Canscss-
sary Trouble In Doing So.
=. A story which is convulsing with
= laughter every railroad man in the
whole state OF Montana who has
heard 1t, is told in the Minneapolis
Tribune. The butt OF tho laugh is q
well-known official OF the Great
Northern railway.
From Butte to Helena the tracks of
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific run side by side for miles to-
gether, each taking the same curves
tains and jogging along in genial
cOmpanionship. About half way to
Helena from Butte the Great North
ern plunges into an obstructing noun
tain and runs through a tunnel
nearly mile long. The Northern
Pacific here leaves the Great North
ern and instead OF passing through q
tunnel winds about. twisting and
turning, reversing itself dozen
times, until one imagines, as he
stands upon the rear platform. that
he sees a dozen different railroads
instead OF but one. The grade is
extremely steep. From the top OF
the decline one can see the track five
different times. each track being from
twenty to seventy-five feet below the
one above 1t.
A few years ago an Eastern official
had occasion to go to Butte from
Helena, and rs the Northern Pacific
train was the first to leave he
boarded it. The official was upon an
important mission and he could ill
conceal his Indignation when he
found that the train was losing time.
Sitting next to the window he turned
his contracted brows outward and
gazed discontentedly at the wonder
full scenery. Looking down. he sud-
denly espied almost directly below
him 100 feet another track. He re-
membered that the Great Northern
ran parallel with the Northern Pa
cific and that the latter's train to
Butte would soon be along. So with
out q word he pulled the bell cord,
clambered off the car and made an
uncomfortable climb down the one
hundred-foot cliff. He sat down
upon the end of tie to wait.
Fully twenty minutes passed and
no train; twenty-five minutes, and he
heard q whistle and q locomotive
burst upon him around a curve.
The official whirled his hat and the
train stopped. Climbing onto
coach he pitched his sachel into
seat with sigh OF satisfaction.
However, as he glanced up, an ap-
partition was before him in the per-
son Of the conductor he had seen
twenty-five minutes before on the
Northern Pacific train.
"What on earth are you doing
herep" inquired the bewildered Off
cial.
"Same as was q half hour ago,
coming down the grade on this same
train and saw you sitting on the
same seat where you are now"
The entire coach load Of passen-
gers was onto the joke. and the Off
cial sent the newsboy out for box
OF cigars.
