AN AWFUL CRIME.

CURED near Welsville, a little village
IS miles east Of this place Thomas
Portercheck, Bohemian, presumably
in fit OF insanity, killed his mother
sister and brother with an ak. An
other sister escaped through window
while he was Staying his mother
After completing the wholesale
slaughter the maniac threw lamp on
the floor, lighted the spilled oil with q
match and committed suicide.
Sunday afternoon Portercheck was
discovered acting strangely and gave
indications that his mind was deranged.
lie labored under the hallucination
that his neck was broken and insisted
that u physician be summoned His
relatives endeavored to convince him
OF his error and tried to get him to bed
lie insisted on sitting up all night.
Late Sunday night the family re-
tired, leaving Thomas in a rocking
chair At 3 o'clock Monday morning
his sister Mary was awakened by an
agonizing scream from her mother.
When she emerged from her bedroom
she found her mother lying on the
floor, while Thomas was stand.
Ing over her brandishing an ak.
The floor was covered with blood,
and from an adjoining room the
other brother, James, could DO
heard moaning in the agony Of death.
The girl ran through the house, and
finding all the doors locked, opened a
window and jumped to the ground.
She remained at the window, and as
her brother Thomas made no attempt
to follow her, she stood and watched
him at his murderous work The maniac
seized can Of coal oil and after pouring
II over the floor and furniture, set 1t on
fire. He then drew = butcher knife
across his throat and fell by the side Of
his mother. The poor girl attempted
TO extinguish the flames, but they
spread SO quickly that In less than ten
the house was a mass Of fire.
The screams Of the girl awakened the
and they rushed to the scene,
but the flames had already finished the
work which the maniac had commenced.
When the blazing timbers had
cooled sufficiently to allow \ search
OF tho ruined house four bodies were
found blackencd and charred They
were those Of Mrs. portercheck, her
youngest daughter, and her sons,
James and Thomas. Investigation
showed that the mother, daughter and
son James had been horribly mutilated
by an AK. 1t Is believed that Thomas
had first killed his brother, then his
sister and mother. 1t was probably
his intention TO kill his sister Mary
ilso. The mother had been an invalid
for twelve years, being confined to her
bed during that time.

STATE COLLEGE. Pa, Nov. 20.s-Ths
period Of experimentation upon the
herd OF Guernsey cows recently Dc.
horned has been finished, and some in.
teresting results have been noticed.
On fifteen cows an examination Of the
amount Of butter fat contained In the
milk yielded for the two days, includ-
ing the day Of dehorning and the fol-
lowing day, shows a loss Of 2 ?7-lOOths
pounds Of butter fat, or equivalent To
y a-l00ths per cent Of the yield for the
two days A similar examination for
the subsequent two days shows that
the average yield for the specified time
Is the same as the average yield for the
i've days preceding the date Of dehorn-
ing. These results show conclnsively
that the effect Of dehorning upon the
flow OF milk is practically unnotice-
able and the great benefits to be de-
rived from such an operation make 1t
highly commendable TO all farmers.
