ANOTHER MURDER.
Burglars Shoot a Man Dead and Then
Make Good Their Escape.

| MAKO GOOu Inelr Escape.
Another murder was committed late
Thursday night in the woods near Miners
Mills, about four miles from Wilkes
Barre, the victim being Andrew Pollard,
a well-to-do boarding boss. About half
past 10 O'Clock as he and his wife were
preparing to retire they were startled by
noise at the front door. Looking from
window Pollard saw four men trying
to force an entrance into the house.
Pollard seized an axe, threw open the
door, and raising it above his head Or
dered the intruders to be off.
They retreated short distance and
invited him to come outside. When the
invitation was given Mrs. Pollard seized
her husband by the shoulders and drag
ged him into the room, closed the door
and locked it.
The men, however, were not to be
frightened off, and hardly had the door
closed when they made rush and tried
to batter it down. Then they tried the
windows, but the shutters were fasten-
ed. There was one window, though,
which they could reach by climbing up
a wood pile, and one of the men began
the climb.
Just as he gained the sill Pollard ap-
peared on the inside and drove him
back with heavy blow. Again the fell
low tried, and as Pollard appeared at
the window prepared to repulse him,
the men below fired. One shot struck
Pollard. That entered the left breast
little below the heart, and the unfor-
tunate man fell back dead, just as his
wife with the boarders entered the room.
The men then retired and commenced
shooting at the windows and doors in
the hope of hitting some of the besieged,
but the boarders protected themselves
behind furniture and returned a spirited
fire. Twice the men made rush at the
door, but the fire of the boarders was too
hot, and they were repulsed. They
kept up the attack until about o'clock
in the morning, when they disappeared.
1t was daylight before the besieged
boarders ventured forth. The authori-
ties were notified, but as yet have got no
clue to the murderers.
The place where the murder was COM
mitted is about one mile from the spot
where Red -nosed Mike" and his ac-
completes, Bevivino and Villela, murder
ed Alexander Mcclure and Bernard
Flanagan six years ago.

Quite a Coincidence,

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
There is remarkable coincidence in
connection with Daniel A. Fell, Jr., can.
didate for district attorney on the Re.
publican ticket and his opponent on the
Democratic ticket, P, A. O'Boyle. Both
gentlemen were born on the same date,
read law together and were admitted to
the bar on the same day, were married
on the same day, were candidates for
the appointment of assistant district at.
torney in the same year, O'Boyle getting
the plum by reason of McCartney's de-
feat Both are now struggling for the
same office, but are and always have
been warm personal friends.

A Pretty Piece of Work.

Probably one the prettiest pieces of
mechanism ever put together in Free
land was turned out from the wheel
wright shops of M. Halpin on Saturday
in the shape of a supply wagon for the
Weatherly Volunteer Fire Company.
Besides being handsomely painted in
two shades of caromine, ornamented
and lettered in gold and silver, it is SUBJ
stantially built of the best material OBJ
tainable. 1t gives much Importance to
the work done by Mr.. Halpin and will
be valuable addition to the Weatherly

SorrowfuI Ending to the Fair.

There was a sorrowful ending to the
Allentown fair on Friday, and what
otherwise was most successful exhibit
tion was marred by an accident resulting
in the death of little girl named Carrie
Bertha Gangwere, aged 6 years. 1t was
within an hour of closing the gates when
the crowd was making its way towards
the exits, when stray shot from one of
the shooting galleries passed between
the palings of the enclosure, and struck
the girl in the cheek. The ball passed
through her head. She fingered three
hours, when she died of the shock.
1t is not known who fred the shot.
1t will be difficult matter to fix the
responsibility, as there were several gal
leries together and firing was going on
at all of them.

A Test Case Decided,

The Lansford liquor case was decided
in court last week in favor of Mrs. Evans,
the defendant. This case was a very
interesting one. Some time ago the Le-
high Coal and Navigation Company en-
deavored to dispossess several people
who had purchased land of the company
because they sold liquor on the premises,
the company claiming that this was a
violation of one of the clauses of the
deed. The Evans case was a test case
and will probably end the litigation, un-
less the company appeals to the supreme
court.

st, Murphy.

There is in one Of the departments
in Washington an old maid whom l
call st. Murphy, not because she IS so
saintlike in appearance, for my saint
has a jolly face, and in that woman,
whose hair is sprinkled with gray and
upon whose cheeks the roses of youth
have ceased to bloom, see a beauty
that leaves nothing to be desired.
She comes into the dining room ac-
companied by little girl and boy. My
woman's eye soon detects something a
little out Of tho usual. The children
look too young to be hers, so make in
quiries and find that they are hers by
adoption. She found these children with
a dying mother, whom she made happy
by promising to care for them. How
faithfully she is keeping her promise!
She has taken them to her heart. They
show, as children always do, that they
have not only food and clothes, but love,
and plenty Of it. Do you wonder that I
call her saint? Here is that woman, at
the age when women soonest tire, going
daily to her work, no matter what the
weather, cold or rain, denying herself
that she may make these children COM
Portable. When l SEQ her in the evening,
weary from her days work, but her
dear old face beaming with love, say
to myself, "Thcrc is o woman who has
won heaven, and am glad to have
known her. and .myrinur, "God bless
you, Miss Murphy Harriette P.

The Dress of a Royal Briae.

1t is only outside of Russia that it is
possible to publish certain details of the
splendid fetes attending the marriage
of the czar's daughter. 1t is contrabaHA
to print in Russian newspapers the facS
that at the wedding ceremony the emo
press of Russia WIS dressed in blue
MORO antique thickly embroidered with
silver. Her majesty's jewels were sap
phires and diamonds. The dress Of the
bride was entirely of silver cloth, with
a train OF crimson velvet bordered with
ermine. On her head was d large dia-
mond tiara, behind which was q bridal
wreath, and then on top Of the head was
the small diamond crown worn by all
imperial brides at their weddings.
Some time ago all the newspapers in
Russia received an order forbidding in
future any reference to the dresses worn
by the empress on state and public oc-
casions This was done in consequences
of the Russian newspapers having in
correctly described her majesty as wear
ing dress which at the time was alto-
gether out of fashion. London Letter.

BUEHLER FOUND GUILTY.
HE WILL HAVE TO SUFFER FOR
HIS INDISCRETION.
Judge Austin Reserves Sentence Until
Tomorrow. and Buehlsr Says
Hs VIII Appeal the
Case.

At o'clock last night W. H. Buehler
a member Of the city board OF educa-
ton, was found guilty in the police
court of inhumanity to the wsyward
girl George McOurdy.
The trial has occupied the last two
days in the police court, and was very
damaging, to say the least, to the San
Fernando street druggist.
The specific charges are intsrcepting
the girl after she ran away from the
Florence home, took her in charge as an
officer, he then being deputy sheriff.
While having her in his custody che
charges he was guilty of immoral con-
duct, and it was upon these lines that
he wac prosecuted at the instance OF the
Florence home manager.
The taking OF testimony was concluded
Tuesday. and when the case was called
yesterday argument was begun at once.
Attorney Knott opened for the prosecu.
tion and was followed by Mr.. Knight on
behalf of Buehler. Deputy District At
torney Rush made telling argument
against Buehler, and, after an hours
talk, closed the case. The jury retired,
and at the hour mentioned returned a
verdict OF guilty as charged
Judge Austin set tomorrow as the time
for sentence. Buehler will appeal the
case,

I mean q well that yields buttermilk.
No, there arc no buttermilk wells
about here that I know of, but I saw
one out in northern Indiana once. 1t
was connected with creamery. There
is no market for buttermilk there, and
tho inhabitants Of tho town, who can
get all tho buttermilk they want for
nothing by simply going after it, never
touch it. AS fast as the great revolving
churns have precipitated their wealth of
golden butter the milky residuum is
run off into the troughs that lead to the
buttermillz we'll. From thence it is
pumped up to feed hogs, being distrib-
uted by system of troughs among the
pens. These hogs are merely kept to
utilize the buttermillz, which would
otherwise go to waste, and the fatness

TIE POWER OE POETRY.
Scott's Description Of tho Chase and Wha
the Ordinary Man Would Have Said.

Scott's Description of tho Chase and What
the Ordinary Man Would Have Said.
Take, as single instance of the pow
er Of poetry, Walter Scott's opening
lines in tho Lady of the Lake., where
he describes tho chase Of the stag. The
stag escapes and evades his pursuels,
but what picture the great poet has
put into wordsl
Reduced to prose the ordinary observ-
er and writer would have said, "They
chased the stag several miles, but lost
him in the Trosachs. He could not
possibly have said in prose:
Tho antlered monarch OF the waste
Sprung from his heathery couch in haste,
But ere his feet career he took
The dewdrops from his TANKS he shook;
Like crested leader, proud and high.
Tossd his beamcd frontlet to the sky;
A moment gazcd adown the dale,
moment snuffed the tainted gale,
A moment listened to the cry
That thicken'd as the chase drew nigh.
Then as the headmost foes apponr'd,
With ono brave bound the copse he clear'd,
And stretching forward free and far
Sought the wild heaths of Urrn-Nar.
The poet began his picture with an
incident that only poet would have
thought worthy of words but what a
picture tho few words makel
The stag at eve had drunk his fill
Where danced the moon on Monan's rill,
And deep lis midnight lair had made
Iii lone Glenartney'S hazel shade.

TEACHING TIE YrJC~a IDEA.
Moral suasion a Powerful Factor, but Their,
Are Times When It Fails.

Moral Suasion a Powerful Factor, but There
Are Times When It Fails.
Suppose you are primary teacher.
Dc you realize what you must put into
your work if you wish to succeed? You
must be teacher, mother and nurse to
your little charges. You must work
with them during hours and for them
after school. You must be ready to
catch an idea anywhere and adapt it to
the needs of particular pupil who may
be dull, Indifferent or disheartened, or
even all three, poor little chapl
You must be untiring in your vigi-
lance over their morals and set them al
ways good example in manners by be-
ing courteous, even if they break your
umbrella or spill ink all over your best
gown. II you are a boys teacher, you
must be ready at any moment to dress a
cut, pick out splinter, arbitrate in a
fight or give decision on the merits Of
racers or the ownership of marbles, fish
hooks and malodorous bottles of bait. If
you can't meet these emergencies, tho
average small boy will hold you in con-
tempt. Ii yor want to win his love, you
must know something about the con-
struotion Of kites. be interested in the
"oneriest lookin" dog that ever invaded
schoolroom and not be too finicky
about when he washed his hands last if
pupil should offer you candy.
If you can do all these things and
laugh about them aftorward, you will
probably stand high in favor.
But there IS C more serious considera-
tion. You mast also have his respect,
and this is not always SO easily c.
pleasantly won.
Great stress has been laid upon the
efficacy of moral suasion, but there are
times when human perversity rises to
such pitch that tho most persuasive
tongue is powerless to enforce obedience
to your will. You may be obliged to
pick up shrieking, fighting scrap of
humanity and put him back repeatedly
where you wish him to stay Till, worn
out from the struggle, he succumbs and
likes you all the better for having con-
quered him. There's nothing mean
about the small boy. Mary B. O'Sul-
hvan in Dcnahoes Magazine.

HOW WE WALK.
The Muscles Used and tho Mechanical Work
That They Do.


The chief muscles concerned in walk
ing are those in the calf and back Of
leg, which, by pulling up tho heel, also
pull up the bones of the foot connected
with it, and then the whole body, the
weight of which is passed on through
the bones of the leg. When walking,
the trunk is thrown forward so that it
would fall down PROSTATE were not the
right foot planted in time to support it.
The calf muscles are helped in this ac-
tion by those on the front Of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk, slanting
forward when tho heel is raised by the
calf muscles, tho whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and upward.
This advancement Of each leg is effect
ed partly by muscular action, the mus
cles used being { y those on the front of
the thigh, bending it forward on the
pelvis; (2) the hamstring muscles, which
slightly bend the leg on the thigh; (S)
the muscles ON the front of the leg,
which raise tho front of the foot and
toes, preventing tho latter, in swinging
forward, from hitching in tho ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground, the action Of the other has not
ceased. There is another point in walk
ing. The body is constantly supported
and balanced on each leg alternately
and therefore on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throwing
the center Of gravity over the line of
support formed by the bones of each leg,
as it supports the weight of the body.
This is done in various ways, and hence
the difference in tho walk of different
people. There may be slight rotation at
the hip joint, bringing the center Of
gravity of tho body over the foot of this
side. This rocking" motion of the
trunk and thigh is accompanied by
movement Of the whole trunk and leg
over the foot planted on the ground and
is accompanied by compensating out
ward movement at the hip. The body
rises and swings alternately from one
side to the other as its center of gravity
comes alternately over one or the other
leg, and the curvature of the spinal
bones is altered with tho varying posi-
tion of the weight. London Hospital.

Chemical Reaction,

A French chemist has lately made
some investigations i'll field not hither-
to so thoroughly explored as many 9th
ers, and from them he draws the con-
clusion that chemical reaction cannot
occur between 125 degrees and 100 de-
grees. Sulphuric acid and ammonia
will not react at so degrees, while at go
to G5 degrees the action is sudden and
violent. Neither cnustio soda nor caustic
potash can bo made to unto with the
same acid below 1876 degrees G. nor
with carbonates below so degrees With
the latter brisk effervescence sets in
about 80 degrees. If nitric instead of
sulphuric acid is used in such expert
ments, the temperature where reaction
begins seems to bo lowered in every
case. New York Sun.

A GALLANT THIEF.
They Tried to Deceive Him, but He wasn't
Easily Fooled.


A belle went to the theater. On re-
turning home after the performance she
discovered that her brooch, which was
@ valuable one, had been stolen. She
was very sorry, for the jewelry was q
present. A few days afterward the young
lady received the following letter:
'fTho writer Of these lines has the
honor to inform you that he knows
where your brooch is and will return it
eheerfully under certain conditions. 1
do not expect to receive a reward in
money, since regard it as exceedingly
vulgar to accept money from q lady
whom idolize as much as do you.
On tho other hand, it would be very
stupid in mo to return you your jewclry
without getting some equivalent. TAX
ing into consideration my consuming
love for you, I'll return the missing or
nament for a single kiss from your rosy
lips. Tomorrow morning will be at
the corner of - street with the miss
ing jowelry. If you are willing to pay
mo my price, will, after pressing a
kiss on the aforesaid lips, press the
brooch in your hand. No questions
asked"
The young lady did not know what
to do. She wanted to get her brooch
back, but she did not care to pay tho
price. She hit upon the idea of sending
her servant girl in her place.
The servant girl put in an appearance
at the appointed hour and place. She
was heavily yelled. A well dressed gen.
tleman approached and asked:
"Do you accept the terms?"
"I do"
