FRITZ PLATH.

Emma Thomas, being duly sworn,
says: My age is AZ years; live in TregC
county. When did Mr.. Thomas come
home? He came home about 7 40 p. m.
He was by himself. What did he say
when he came into the house? l don t
know what he said, but think he spoke
to one OF the small children; to George he
handed a small pastboard box and said it
was for him. He was standing in the
kitchen door. l told him to let me pass
and said to him: Oh Bob! you promised
that you would not come hack, that you
would stay away. He said that he did
not come to stay. Then what did you
say? l told him that we could not live
together here, if he wanted to stay here
Iwould take the children and 90 and live
with my son at Woodruff. He said that
he did not want me to 60 off the place,
but he wanted to stay on the place and
keep the children with me. l told him
that he got his pension which was
enough to keep him without any work,
that LeOta could take care of herself and
L could take care of the children if he
would go away and leave us be- Then he
came into the dining room to get some
papers he said he had left there, but in
place of the papers he took out box of
rough on rats; then he went to the well
and got tin cup of water, then went back
to the house and drank it, and threw the
cup and box down, and run away just as
hard as he could. l saw him take the
poison himself. He took the poison
about 8 o'clock before l sent for Mr..
Bl0cksome. After he run away he was
only gone a short time when he came
back. | went out to the gate and met
h!m and led him into the house, and put
him to bed, and gave him some mustard
water. EMMA THOMAS.

awakened by a sharp sense Of discom-
fort and pain.
"He found that he was bound hand
and foot to the bench on which he lay.
Then the pale dawn broke and gave a
dim light into the den in which he was
imprisoned. 1t was a back scullery of
probably a long empty and deserted
house.
"He made frantic, fruitless efforts to
free himself and shouted at intervals
till he was voiceless and faint from ex-
haustion. AT last in one of his widest
struggles the bench to which he was
fastened toppled over, and he came heavi-
ly to the ground.
HE must have lain senseless for hours.
When he regained consciousness, he
heard voices. Two men were in the
kitchen too sbusily engaged to take any
notice Of him.
'Wherell We stow itT
Here in the chimley, high up above
the damper. It'll lie there safe until to-
morrow; then we'll fetch in key to
trade.
"'And this cover said the first speak

"'Let him rot. Leave him where he
is. Maybe tomorrow We'll do for him.
It'll be safest, ehY
"Then the two rufians-one Of whom
the colonel recognized as his discharged
servant, Raslrelf-departed without an
other thought of their captive.
''There was no hope for him. Present
torture prolonged past endurance per-
haps, then violent death. He rolled to
and fro, now above and now under the
bench, continually injuring himself and
yelling often with the pain of some sud
den collision OF blow.
"Then he struck against something.
The fingers of his right hand touched it,
and with the exaggerated sense of touch
due to his position he realized that it was
Matchbox
although his wrist was bound, his
fingers were free, and at last, after end
less attempts, he opened the box, and
then ensued long struggle before he
could strike match. But he succeeded,
finally succeeded also in applying the
light to one Of his bonds.
"a second and a third match were
necessary, but at last the cord caught
fire and was burned-oh, so slowly
smoldering, smoldering, all the night
through. The dawn had broken before
his right hand was free.
"To escape from the house was an easy
matter. But it took three hours to drag
himself to Pail Mall from Seacole street,
Stratford, and he was well nigh done
when he reached his home.
''In less than an hour watch was set
upon the house in which the colonel had
been imprisoned. The two scoundrels
who had been first his captors, thon his
jailers, and one at least of them his per-
sonator, were taken red handed as they
returned in search Of their "swag."-

That hung on the Christmas treo last night,
But he slipped his feet in the old ones.

On the parlor rug thoy found her,
The long, dark lashes adroop on her checks
And her Christmas toys around her.

So Say the Leading Tailors Who Wore tho
Costume at a Recent Banquet

So Say the Leading Tailors Who Wore tho
Costume at a Recent Banquet.
A notable dinner took place at Pitts
burg last week. 1t closed the proceed
ings of three days session Of the Mer-
chant Tailo1s' National Exchange and
was made memorable by the introduc-
tion of new and gorgeous evening COS
tune.
-Four of the leading tailors of the
United States wore this costume at the
banquet, and its beauty and grace were
so striking that the whole company of
critical observers regarded it with en-
shusiastic admiration. The costume CON
sisted of silk velvet dress coat, satin
brocaded waistcoat, satin knee breeches
silk stockings and the lace adornments
affected by men Of fashion a century
ago. Undoubtedly the different colori
which can be introduced into such cos,
tune, according to the requirements OF
The varying types of manly beauty,
would lend great brilliance to an occa-
sion of evening festivity. Instead of the
raiment of men being merely a foil to
set off the bright attire of women it
would be of itself a thing Of beauty,
with which feminine taste and art would
have to compete.
The judgment of the merchant tailors
at the dinner at Pittsburg was so unani-
mously in favor of the new costume
that it will be the prevailing garb when
the convention hold its next annual ban
quet. The tailors expect, too, that as
the fame of its impressive beauty
spreads abroad men will be unable to re-
sist the desire to emulate the glory of
their raiment.
Perhaps SO, but how will it be regard
ed by the men with thin and crooked
legs? Some men of great distinction
and most engaging personality suffer
from those physical defects, but at pres
ent they are concealed by trousers, in
chief part at least. Knee breeches and
silk stockings would reveal them to
every beholder. 1t is true that such
men might resort to padding, but would
not suspicion of the artitice get abroad
and provoke unseemly merriment among
women?
AS it is, the dress of men is comfort
able rather than handsome. If they go
in for brilliant effects of color and ma
terial, they will have tostand criticism
of their taste and the beauty of their
proportions, from which, happily, they
are now eSsm1t. New York Sun.

A sNsEzING BEE.
Red Pepper Was Thrown on Hot Stove
With the Regulation Results.


With the Regulation Results.
Some one threw red pepper upon a
large stove in Tappen's billiard rooms
at Patchogue, ". Y. The pepper started
the habitues to sneezing, and they
sneezed loud and long. The odor of the
burning pepper soon drove everybody
from the room.
The fumes rapidly spread through the
building. The Order of Foresters was
holding a meeting in the large hall on

'sneeze. They sneezed hard. The chap
lain of the society tried to maintain the
dignity of his position, but he, too, soon
joined in the sneezing bee.
The assembly marched down stairs
sneezing at every step. They were soon
Joined on the street by lawyers, doctors,
editors, printers and business men, who
had been driven out of their rooms in
the building. The fumes were SO strong
that passeIsby had to walk on the oppo-
site side of Ocean avenue.

his rooms, as the owner Of the building

continue at Milazxo, on the north coast Of

Two hundred corpses have been extricated
from tho ruins Of houses at San Procopio,

The number of persons sail to be injured
Is enormous.
1t is estimated that the damage done to
buildings at Palmi, not counting the loss
incurred In furniture destroyed, will
amount to 1900, 900 lire. Fifteen buildings
collapsed entirely and 800 others are ire
parably damaged. Every house in the

one remains habitable At Palmi six per-
sons were killed and over 800 injured.
Eight persons persisted at Seminara, and
