double tragedy here last night through
the apparently insane action Of one David
Shapero, who shot Michael j. Burns, a
hotelkeeper and then shot himself
Burns will recover but his would be as
sassin will probably die.
Shapero belongs in Pottsville, and is
tinware peddler. He was lodger at
Burns hotel on Thursday night and left
it early yesterday morning to resume his
peddling.
At six O'Clock last evening he returned
to the hotel Upon entering the barroom
he met Burns, who was alone. Immedi-
ately upon his entry, and without saying
word, Shepero drew a revolver and
fired at Burns, the ball taking effect in
the saloonkeeper's stomach. The victim
staggered back and fell to the floor with
groan.
Almost Immediately after and before
the guests of the hotel, who were in an ad
joining room and were attracted by the
report OF lue suol COulu reach Jne OAR
room, Shapero placed the barrel of the
revolver to his own mouth and fired
The would-be assassin staggered for
ward and fell almost beside his victim.
Both men remained conscious and Burns
told the story of the affair to the Mortified
guests and members of his family.
The hotelkeeper stated that the attack
of no reason for the shooting. He also
said that the peddler did not say word
before he fired. When the physicians
first examined Burns injuries they con
sideredlthem fatal, but this morning they
stated that the injured man would prob

fatal. The bullet played havoc with th'
mans mouth and throat and 1t IS MOI

succeeded in telling those who questioned
him that he committed the deed because
he was tired of struggling for a living
He wanted to die and wanted company OF

Wellington. Greatest Battle.

A hitherto unpublished letter of the Duke of Wellington written to Colonel Wilke, one of the garrison of St. Hell ena when Napoleon was there, contains the following interesting reference to the duke's greatest battle
 They used to call me the sepoy gen eral. It is due to my having been se- poy general that won the battle of Waterloo It tau ght me where to place nlen with whom 1 could trust the honor of England and where to place men who were not so satisfactory. l had troops with me at Waterloo in whose hands the safety and honor of king and country could we'll be placed. l had numbers of others, some of whom l could not trust at all, some could bare ly trust, and others who were not prop erly trained. It was owing to the fact of my having learned in the sepoy wars to place the best of the men in the parts of the field where the greatest courage and bravery were required, and others where those qualities were not required, that I won the battle of Waterloo. - Westminster Gazette.

AN AID TO MILKING.
The CoiIegian's Advice to His Father Which
 Resulted Disastrously.

The CoilegiSn's Advice to His Father Which
 Resulted Disastrously.
 A college student in one of our west ern states returned home after his course was finished to find that his father, a clergyman with q small salary, was eking out bis living by running 8 small farm. One of the adjuncts of the farm was COW, a pretty good animal, which however, had a strong aversion to being milked.
 Here was an opportunity for display of the lately acquired knowledge of the juvenile collegian.
 Father, ' said he, Professor G. says if one will place weight upon COW s back it will make her give down the milk. !"
 The reverend gentleman, favorably impressed with this information that his son had learned from Professor G., decided to try the simple remedy. In- stead, however, of placing weight upon the cows back, the clergyman placed himself upon 1t. But then he answered the purpose. The cow, how ever, was still obstinate.
 Tie my legs under the COW, <" said the father to his son.
 The son did so. But the COW, unused i, to such unusual and arbitrary proceed ings, manifested her displeasures by rearing and plunging, entirely unmind- full of the dignity of the parsonage astride her spinal column. It was get ting altogether too interesting for the two bipeds concerned in the transae- tton.
 Gut the rope. cut the rope" shout ed MT. V. to his dutiful son, meaning the rope by which he was attached to i the COW.
 But the son, being somewhat excited, cut the rope by which the COW was fas- tened to the stanehion. At once avail ing herself of the liberty thus offered the COW took an unceremonious exit from the stable, and down through the street she went. The minister accom- panied the COW, but in manner not ex- actly betitting the dignity of his profes- 1 sion.
 As it happened, one of the sisters of the congregation was on the street as the race was i'll progress. Surprised at i such a sight, the good sister cried out, Why, Brother ", where are you go- ing?"
 His sense of the Iudicrous coming to his aid, Brother V. shouted back: tThe Lord and tho COW only know. don't"
 The clergyman was eventually rescued from his awkward perch and never at tempted the feat again. Voice.

DON'T LIKE THE CHARGE.
Livestock 8Isn Kicking About Extra
 Price on Cars

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-Tuesday nights meeting to consider the terminal charge Of $2 per car on live stock entering the Chicago yards the Live Stock Exchange committee report after pronouncing the charge unjust, unwsrrsnted and detri- mental to the Chicago market" also says that if these discriminstions con- tinued or others occur, "we can see no other way except for commission men to open and maintain it's branch houses at competitive markets.
 A reply to the complaint made to the company was offered by John D. Sher- man, general manager of the Stock Yards and Transit company, in which he said:
 ''The charge complained of is not an indirect extra charge against the pro- ducers. It is the businness of the rail road company and it's duty when it re- ceives a consignment of cattle to Chi cago or any other market to furnish the facility for unloading and yarding the cattle at destination. If they have no such facilities, but use the tracks, side tracks, chutes and yards of others. they should pay for the same and tue amount so paid should be part of the freight charges. Because the railroad company is unable to perform its full duty to the shipper without the use of track and fa- cilities of other companies Is no reason why they should make an extra or ad- ditional charge thereon; and it certainly affords no reason for them for taking ad- vantage of such charges to extract from you 9 per cent. to l50 per cent. in ad- dition to the actual sum paid by them. "
 c. A. Mallory, chairman of the com mittee, said: "We have the assurance of the railroad managers that the rail- roads will withdraw the charge of s per car for terminal charges if the stock yards company will withdraw their charges for track services"
