There was rough box on a truck
standing on the depot platform this after
noon, which told the sequel of great
wrong. It was not different in appear
ance from any other used for a similar
purpose. The card tackled on it gave the
following information;
"Jane Robinson; died of exhaustion
and acute mania"
The card further showed that the box
had been shipped from North Warren,
and its destination was New Castle.
The corpse was the victim Of Prof.
Hartshorn, of New Castle, who it will be
remembered, when arraigned for trial,
broke down and confessed. He is now
serving q term in the penitentiary.
The shame and disgrace of the woman
were more than she could bear. She
broke down and was taken to the North
| Warren Asylum. The rest is told by the
inscription on the boX.-Blizzard.
Don't be hypocrite before your boy,
writes Robert j. Burdette in the first pa
per of the series "Before He is Twenty"
| in the April Ladies' Home journal.
When he believes you to be infallible
don't encourage the belief. Take him in
to your life as you desire to be taken
into his. Don't tell him that when you
were boy you never caused your par
ents moments uneasiness, were never
cross with your little sister, never diso-
beyed your teacher, never cruel to dumb
animals and always kept the Golden
| Rule. Be honest with him above all
things. Don't be too dignified with him.
| The more he loves you the more he lives
in your arms, the more he plays with
| you and the less he fears you, the more
profoundly will he respect you. Pity the
man who, in order to secure and retain
| proper respect from his children, has to
wear at all times an uncomfortable We
neer of artificial dignity.
Ordnance officers of the army and ma
Wy are amazed at the startling reports of
experiments made in Berlin last week of
bullet proof coat, the invention of
German tailor, which proved to be in
vulnerable to three bullets fired by the
Russian Ambassador with one of the new
small arm rifles. Our military attaches
at Berlin have been instructed to furnish
the department, if possible, with full re-
ports of the resistance power of the coat,
not with a view to the purchase by this
| Government of the invention, but more
in the interest of science. 1t seems in
credible to most ordnance officers that
bullet can be stopped by a simple jacket.
weighing only about six pounds, or that
a man could stand the shock of being hit
by the shot propelled with such frightlul
velocity as has been obtained by the new
German rifle. They say that even if the
so-called armor is sufficient to throw off
a bullet from the German gun that it
would not hold good with our rifle,
which has a still greater penetration and
velocity. 1t is difficult for officers to be-
lieve that any non-metallic jacket could

contained in the blow from bullet of a
modern rifle.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
The body of fireman John Martin, who
was drowned in the Allegheny river at
Walnut Bend on March 9th, was found in
the river near Kennerdell station, fifteen
miles below Franklin, on Tuesday eve
ming, by Michael Mcdonnell, a track
walker on the A. V. Railroad. The acci-
dent by which Martin lost his life occur
red on March 9th. An engine of w. N.
Y. & p. freight, bound for Olean, struck
a tree that had slid down from the hill
above and the engine and several cars
were derailed at Walnut bend. At the
time, engineer Sittig, fireman Martin and
head breakman Harry Carr were on the
engine. Carr and Sittig were thrown in
to the river but swan to shore. Martin
was farther in the river, and as some of
the oil from two tank cars that were in
the wreck caught fire, he was forced to
swim in an opposite direction, and it was
supposed, at the time, he had reached
shore in safety. In short time he was
missed and search of the river commen-
ced by his brothers and friends who en-
ployed all means possible to find the boz
7 dy but were unsuccessful. At the time
: above mentioned trackman Mcdonnell
observed the body lying in the water near
the shore where it had caught on snag.
He secured help and the body was sent
to Oil City where it was completely iden-
titled by relatives and friends. An in
quest was held by Coroner Snowden.
The funeral was held at st. Joseph's
church on Wednesday at 2;3O p. m.
