THE RIGHTLY MURDER.
no Definite CIews as Yet to the Double
Murderer.

NEWTON, Pa, Sept. 26.-The coroner's
tnry in the presence of District Attorney
Applebach, of Doylestown, at the Rightly
farmhouse in Northampton township,
yesterday afternoon examined six wit
nesses and heard the evidence in the
double murder of the Rightlys. No
definite cews were run out, and the dire
tragedy remains as deep mystery es ever.
What few days work by the Bucks
county detective agency may bring out is
only surmised There has been no evil
dence so far elected to throw any light on
the matter. No evidence was given be
fore the jury to connect with the crime
the negro tramp who has been working in
fhe neighborhood and who slept in the old
Rightly barn. Neither can the commits
sion Of the deed be trace to the Cherokee
Indian half breed who has been moving
grass in the graveyard adjoining the
Rightly residence There are some who
believe that a nephew of the murdered man
knows something of the crime, but the
evidence so far does not point that way.

A NEW JERSEY RIPPER"
The Revolving Murder of Mrs. Fahey by
Her Brutal Husband.

PERTH AMBOY. n. J., Sept pa hor-
rible case of mutilation, in which Jack
the Ripper" is outdone, occurred in this
city on Friday night, and a woman now
lies dead from the effects of the brutal
deed Michael Fancy. who committed the
crime, is powerful man and employed in
II. w White & Sons iron foundry, while
his wife, who is the victim was frail and
sickly, weighing less than 100 pounds.
Mrs. Fahey was chopping wood in her
yard when neighbor who took pity on
her weakened condition and did the chop
ping for her. When Fahey returned from
work in the evening his wife informed
him of the neighbours kindness. Fahey
lew into rage, charged her with inf
deity and threatened vengeance.
After supper Fahey visited several
saloons and imbibed considerable beer. He
returned home somewhere near II o'clock
and retired. His wife, who was In great
fear, waited until she supposed he was
asleep and then retired. She had no sooner
reached the bed than he bounced upon her
with his bare hands, tearing AID mutilat-
ing her in brutal, sickening manner. The
agonizing shrieks of the victim alarmed
the neighbors, and upon their approach
Fahey fed.
DIR. Brace was summoned, and upon ex-
animation discovered that the woman was
badly torn, and that internal portions of
flesh were missing. The womaA after
telling some of the details of the crime,
lapsed into Inconsistencies, in which
state she remained until Sunday, when
she was relieved of her sufferings by
death.
Fahey was captured and taken to the re-
corder's office, where he admitted his
guilt. He was Immediately hustled off to
the county Jail TT New Brunswick. Had
Fahey been in the city when the facts be-
came known nothing would have saved
him from the wrath of the angry citizens.
The couple had been married five years,
and Mrs. Fahey had given birth to three
children, two of whom are dead. She has
always borne an excellent reputation,
while Fahey has always treated her in a
cruel and inhumau manner.

Whif:h Swept st. Joseph, Mo.
HOUSES BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE
To Prevent the Spread of the FLAMES the
Fire Department Resorts to the De-
molition of Connscting Buildings, and
the City Is Saved.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Sept 26..-Three solid
blocks of the finest business houses Of ST.
Joseph are in ruins, and million dollars
worth of property has been destroyed
Yesterday c. A. Purdy, who was passing
along Edmond street, noticed a thin curl
of smoke coming from the top floor Of the
eight story apartment house Of Townsend
e. Wyatt. BY the time he could turn in
an alarm flames burst from the entire top
floor. When the department arrived it
was found that the water pressure was
weak, and the flremen were compelled to
fight at disadvantage. The entire build
ing was soon in flames, and Chief Kane
saw there was no chance to save 1t.
A strong wind from the north soon car
ried the flames across the street to the
magnificent Commercial bank structure,
and it was soon destroyed. The Central
Savings bank went next and then fol-
lowed the Center block. The Regnier e.
Shoup Crockery company's new house was
next to succumb. and s75, 900 worth of
goods dropped into the cellar. The Car
brey block was next attacked and then
Binswanger s. Co, the Hong Kong Tea
company, the Spencer Cigar company and
a dozen smaller institutions went up The
fire was then burning fiercely from four
sides, and the destruction of the best bust
ness interests of the city was imminent.
At this time dynamite was resorted to,
and a number Of buildings blown up, and
the progress of the fire stayed. With the
help of the Topeka and Kansas City fire
departments, which were telegraphed for
and arrived at this juncture, the fire was
gotten under control.
But few accidents occurred during the
progress of the fire When one of the
buildings was blown up a boy named
Haskins was struck by a flying brick and
badly hurt. Allen Laird and Oliver
Knapp, two fremen, were precipitated from
ladder into a burning building and both
badly hurt Knapp probably fatally. chief
Kane, of the fire department, was burned,
and young man named George Hunter
fell three stories to a cellar, but was little
injured, two ribs alone being broken. Sew
eral people were hurt by falling walls, but
no fatalities occurred during the fire
