ONE LITTLE CHILD ESCAPED


By Associated Press to The News.
PrrTsBuRG, July 26.-A fearful
triple murder took place during the
early hours this morning, two chill
dren and mother meeting their
fate at the hands Of some tiend. 1t
was about q. m. when the South
side fire department was called out
to extinguish slight fire in the
house of John F. Mouse, who lived
on Oak alley, on the side of the
hill.
After extinguishing it some of
the members of the department, in
looking about the house, were horri-
fed at the sight of three bodies
lying close to one another. They
were those of Mouse's wife and two
small children. There were three
ugly, deep dents in the poor wo-
mans head, which showed that she
had first been struck deadly blow
from behind and then the fearful
work was finished with some blunt
instrument, either a Ratchet or ham.
mer.
The little children had the ap.
pearance of having been smothered
to death, though their poor bodies
also showed marks of violence.
Their clothing was burned little,
though, had they been living when
the fire started, they would have
had no trouble in getting away from
the small blaze. These children
were Mary and Maggie, and were
four and two years old, respective
| ly. The husband was at once ar
rested, charged with committing
the horrible crime.
Mouse is a laborer, 33 years of
age, and apparently very ignorant.
There was one more child in the
family, but by some means the little
one escaped the general massacre.
The child who was saved is only
five years old, but this morning
weepingly told the police that his
father killed his mother. "He hit
her on the head three times with a
hatchett," sobbed the little fellow"
The neighbors think jealousy was
the cause of the awful dead.

that it does prevail at Alessandria

further says that choleraic disord

Eat Bananas and Turn Brunette.

Those who eat heartily of bananas may
run some risk of becoming tawny or
copper colored. This may be inferred
possibly from the peculiarities Of plum
age in the turacos of Africa. As long
as the weather is dry these birds are gay,
the primary and secondary feathers be-
ing gorgeously crimson, but when rain
comes the color is washed out, and the
birds seem to be Inundated and ashamed
at the transformation. But the color
returns in dry weather. The cause Of
the coloration has been traced to copper
in very pure state. A single feather
burned gives the characteristic indica-
ton. The source of the turacin has now
been traced to bananas, on which the
turacos feed chiefly. All the aborigines
who make bananas a diet are very deep
ly tinted. but the color is sooty rather
than red. The North American Indian
cannot owe his coppery hue to bananas.
He has only known of this fruit on reser-
vations and chiefly by the peelings.-

Success In Matching Sturgeon.

An important step in fish culture has
recently been made by the United States
commission of fisheries. Commissioner
Marshall Mcdonald will be able to dem
onstrate that the artificial culture of the
sturgeon is as practicable as that of the
shad or trout. The sturgeon fishery pro-
duces a most important export in its
caviare. 1t is one of the most valuable
of the coast industries, and its present
condition seems to warrant all the efforts
of scientific fish culture. In 1888 exper-
iments in the Matching of sturgeon were
carried on at Delaware City, Del, by the
commission, but they were SO little sue
cessful that until the present no further
efforts were deemed advisable.
The results that have just been at
tanned at the same locality by an assist
ant of the commission, DR.. Bashford,
dean of Columbia college, New York,
seem, however, to be most important.
In his trial experiment he has employed
a floating Matching case of his own de-
sign and has succeeded in Matching sew
eral thousand young sturgeon. The
floating cases were filled with fortified
eggs and moored in a strong, brackish
current. The eggs were Matched in 81
hours.-New York Times.

at the beautiful girl, who seemed to be
in such agony. Five seconds, 10, 10, 20
