A FAMILY MURDERED,
RObb ry SuppO:ed to Have BEN the
Motive of The Grim.

In Harrison township Ind, the entire
family of eDson Wralton was murdered. A
neighbor went to the Wralton residence to
inquire as to the health OF WraIton, who has
been I'D for several weeks. The front door
being locked, he went to the back door.
Upon the floor in puddle Of blood lay Mrs.
Wralton, wife OF benson Wraton. He hur-
ried to the nearest neighbors, and several Of
them accompanied him to the house
In the room adjoining that in which Mrs.
Wratron lay, they found the father and hus-
band dead. In the same room was the
three children-two of them dead and the
other so seriously injured that she cannot
live. The children killed were little boy,
three years old, and his sister, eleven years
old. In front room, Mr.. Warltons mothe ;,
aged sixty three, was found lying on the
floor dead. Her left hand was cut off and
the left broken.
All of the murdered people had deep, ugly
wounds on the ioreheads with the exception
of the girl, who had been struck on the back
OF the head The old lady is said to have
had considerable money in the house, hay
ing drawn it + ON the bank during the recent
money stringency, and this, it is thought,
was the motive of the murders. There is
not the slightest clew to the murderer.

An Amphibious Boat t.

A new Canadian invention for use
in the lumber districts is coming into
general use in Northern Ontario. 1T
is called steam varying tug. 1t
propels itself on land as well as on
water, and is used by lumbermen
whose operations are carried on
among small lakes connected by
streams of uncertain navigation.
The vessel has proved not only a
success. but a great boon to the lum-
ter trade. Six of these unique crafts
have been built by the inventors dur
ing the past season, four completed
at their yard in Ottawa, and two
shipped, ready to be put together at
their destination in the Nipissing
district. =
They are built in scow shape, with
steel-shod runners for moving over
land; are thirty-seven feet long, ten
feet beam, decked all over, and have
sleeping-roOm for four men in the
bow; the bottom and up the bow is
covered with steel boiler plate. An
engine twenty-five horse power Iur-
nishes steam for ten hours work, with
three quarters Of cord of wood.
In the water it moves six miles an
hour forward or backward, as re-
quired, propelled by side wheels.
On land it is propelled by having a
cable drum on which is coiled five
eighths of a mile Of steel wire cable,
which is fastened with pulleys to a
tree or some object in front, the boat
moving as the wire is coiled up. The
boiler is hung on an axle in the GEN.
ter, and a screw arranged on the front
enables the firemen to tip 1t forward
or back, and keep it level going up OF
down hill.
Tt will move over an elevation OF
one foot in three on land, and draws
about twenty eight inches in the
water.

ARE TOYS TOO GOOD7
Suggestion That the Toys of Our Chio-
hood Were Better,

Men are, after all, only overgrown
children. Give your little boy money,
and the sweetshop and the toyshop
will, too probably, eclipse the mute
appeal of the missionary box.
And, when the boy grows up, phys
lcally, if his income aso grows, ne
will spend at sweetshop and toyshop'
Instead Of acid drops he will purchase
rare wines and order elaborate din
ners; the race game and the CLOCK
work boat will expand the real thor
oughbreds and steam yacht.
DO we really outgrow the tastc for
sweets and toys? Some of US never
have it; some lose it by oyer-lndulg-
ence during youth.
But to the temperate person, whose
pocket money has always been limit
ed, are toys and sweets ever wholly
without attractions? He is ashamed
to be seen openly purchasing sugarcd
almonds and chocolate creams, ana
looking in vain longing at lead SOL
diers and clockwork trains; but the
old delight is not dead
Even a humble box Of bricks, that
best of toys, unrolls before his mental
vision a prospect Of houses, fortTe scS,,
harbors, railway stations, zooloGlcai
gardens, and all the ingenious con-
structions Of the Young archltect,
half blocks and half "make-belieye.
When 1 look into the toy-shop WIN
dows, as l usually do, it seems to me
That children are losing the poetic
imagination that transformed dingy
ylay room into a fairyland.
Toys are becoming daily more elac-
crate. more realistic; less room is left
for fiction and romance. Lead SOL
diers are no longer fat simulacra OF
humanity, but big, broad, solid and
expansive Cayalrymen sit plumpy
astride bullying horses; artillery
trains, pontoon trains, complete in
every detail, replace the improviscd
substitutes in which | once reveled.
Yet, can the model Sl-ton gun give
as much satisfaction to the boyish
possessor as the fortress artillery l
used to contrive out Of an old brass
cannon, three bricks and the tender
of a tin train?-The Sketch.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
III Hung Chang.


Ii Hung Chang, yiceroy OF emma
saws a writer in Frank LeSlle's week
", does not live in Picking, but has
his palace in Tien-Tsin (ninety miles
from the capitaD, where he IS sur
sounded by his armies, and has MS
feet near at hand.
It is well known that the members
of the Sunni Yamen, Grand Conn-
Gil of the Empire), who sat IN Pe-
king. have the most profound hatred
for the viceroy, and have tried sever
al times to get rid of him by means
which would recall those used in the
Middle Ages. But Ii Hung Chang
is too we'll guarded in Tien-Tsin.
Every attempt has been failure, and
after several Of them the heathens in
office came to the conclusion that
the only thing to be done was to get
the yicerOy to come to Peking.
They demonstrated to the Emperor
and his mother that Ii Hung ChaDg's
ambition might lead him to over
throw the actual dynasty and make
himself monarch, and that 1t was
quite necessary to have him live In
Picking, where the Sunni Yamen
would watch him.
The Emperor saw the imaginary
danger and ordered the vlccroy to
make his headquarters in Peklng
He did not even answer.
Two orders were sent, the last be.
ing so imperative that he answered
at once:
Il am coming. Arrange quarters
for the fifteen thousand soldiers l
take with me"
One can easily imagine the alarm
of the Emperor and the members OF
the Sunni Yamen Then they heard
of those fifteen thousand soldiers,
and they answered promptly:
"Stay where you are by all means,
and keep your soldiers away"
Ii Hung Chang may be considered
the most liberal and most progress
siye man in the Chinese EmDire.

The Neck OF the House.

There are husbands who, among
their male companions, like to hay
it supposed that they are just little
tyrannical at home. One such man,
who had two or three friends at his
home one evening, remarked, as they
were chatting together comfortably
at rather late hour
"Yes, j do what l like at home
My wife, she has to bend to my will,
can tell you. In my own house
I'm a regular julius Caesar"
His wife came into the room in
time to hear this last sentence. The
tyrant of his household looked a lit
tie uneasy, but his wife neither
frown6d nor, apparently paid any at
tention to the remark. But, after a
moment, she remarked very posi-
lively
Gentlemen, it is late, and Julius
Caesar has got to go to bed"
Whereupon the husband arose,
stammered his excuses, and retired,
leaving his guests to tInd their way
out as best they could, 1t was in
another household that the husband
once remarked to his wife,
"You know my dear, that I'm the
head OF the house.
"You may he the head as much as
you like" said the wife, "but I'm the
neck"
"Tne neck? Oh, yes, you may be
the neck if you want to, my deSr."

turns the head whichever Way it

In Madagascar.

The island Of Madagascar has two
distinct climates, two classes OF ma
tives, and two classes Of fauna and
fora. Along the coast it is tropical
and malarious, and the natives are
darker and larger than in the inte-
rior. The interior is a high table
land, and mountainous. There the
climate is cooler and the natives
smaller and lighter in color than on
the coast. But in the interior they
are more intelligent, AMI they rule

MONDAY EVENING AUG. IA, 1893.
Down a Shaft to Death.


Paralyzed with fear and unable to
move finger in his behalf, father on
Saturday morning saw his son caught
between an elevator and the ceiling
above his head. For an instant the
Young mans body hung in the air and
then it plunged headlong down the
shaft. striking the basement, four stories
below, with an awful crash that echoed
through the stately building in which
the frightful accident occurred.
About 1890 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, John T. Taylor. one OF the oldest
conductors in the service of the Pull
man Palace Car Company, started for
the offices of the company on the fourth
floor of the Girard building, at Broad
and Chestnut streets, to make his re-
port. He was accompanied by his son,
John G. Taylor, a young man % years
of age. They rode up in the elevator,
which stopped at the fourth floor. The
father stepped off and turned around to
wait for his son, but, to his horror, the
elevator had resumed its upward jour-
ney just as the young man had placed
his right foot upon the floor outside the
sate,
In an instant the young mans body
was crushed against the ceiling. The
elevator swept on and the body seemed
to hang for an instant before it started
on its flight down the open shaft. The
father could not even call out, so ter
ror-stricken was he, and not until the
body of the unfortunate young man
had struck the pavement at the foot OF
the shaft, four stories below, was il
known that the accident had occurred.
Then score of men rushed to assist
young Taylor He was yet alive, but
died Just as he reached Jefferson Hos
pital in a patrol wagon, which was hast
lily summoned. Though many bones
were broken, there was not drop OF
blood to be found either in the base
ment or on the elevator that had SO
cruelty crushed its victim.
1t is asserted that the boy in charge
of the elevator abruptly pulled the
rope as young Taylor was about to fol-
low his father, but the boy declares
that the unfortunate man himself threw
open the sliding door, which had been
closed, and attempted to get out after
the car had been started. Coroner Ash
bridge will thoroughly investigate the
accident. The elder Taylor is pros
trated at his home.-Phiiadelphia Rec
