The Recent Death of Mrs. Emerson II
McNvhorter, In Pittsburg, Pa.

The Recent Death of Mrs. Emerson II.
McNvhorter, In Pittsburg. Pa.
Pittsburg Leader, June l2:h.
One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in either city for long time
was that of Mrs. Emerson NIcW horter,
who passed away yesterday evening, at
her home, 1893 Western avenue, Allie
gheny. She had been feeling slightly
in6isposed for some time, but on Satur-
day seemed to have fully recovered her
health and was in excellent spirits. At
midnight she became violently ill.
Medical aid was summoned, her condi-
ton proving very serious. Several
physicians were called in consultation
Sunday, Nothing, however, could be
done and in as hours from the begin
ming of her illness she passed away.
Death was caused by an abcess of the
liver.
1t is but nine months since she stood
a happy bride at the marriage altar and
the shock to her4husband is'teEible, as
they were entirely devoted to each other.
Mrs. McWhorter was an especially
charming and lovable woman, who
made warmfriends Of all who knew her.
She was formerly Miss Jennie D.
Craighead, daughter of Andrew Craig
head, at one time business man Of
Elizabeth, now resident Of the North
Side.
She is survived by her husband, both
parents, one sister, Mrs. George w.
Homer of Pueblo, Col, and four brothers,
Matthew, Samuel, Joseph and William,
all residents of the city.

SHETLAND IN THE ToMBs.
The Leader of the Nutmeg Army Agai
i'm Custody,


General" George A. Sweetland, who
marched proudly in the city limits at
the head of Coxey contingent and
was arrested for parading without a
permit, walked demurely into the Tombs
yesterday and was locked up, says the
New York Herald.
Sweetland expected to be tried before
Judge MARITIME yesterday, and was on
hand with his bondsman, David Ros-
seau, of No. $40 Mott avenue. Sweet
land wore the remnant of Coxey badge
and straw hat of 1890.
"fhs case is merely misdemeanor
and should not be on the calendar"
said Assistant District Attorney McIn-
tyre, addressing Judge MARITIME. "The
case should be tried in the court of
special sessions"
81 won't try it; l won't try it," Judge
MARITIME exclaimed. "l'll try prison
cases first"
"I've instructed my client to demand
a trial here before a jury" Lawyer
Salisbury remarked.
"Well, we'll try him during the Sep
TENDER term, them" Judge MARITIME re-
piled.
General" Sweetland and Rosseau,
his bondsman, then adjourned to the
corridor, where they put their heads to-
gether. Rosseau proposed that the
General" go to the Tombs, where the
county would support him.
"All right" Sweetland replied. eff
you say SO very well"
Rosseau then went back into the court
room and walked up to the bar in front
of Judge MARITIME.
ats very evident, your honor" Ros-
seau said, that there is no intention to
try Captain Sweetland. Now I'll let
the county support him."
Judge Marines gavel came down
with such thump that Rosseau's eyes
blinked. He fairly jumped.
"rve heard enough from you," Judge
MARITIME roared, and Rosseau skipped
out of court and Sweetland went to Jail.
When Sweetland passed through Viii,
mington several weeks ago he declared
he intended to sue New York city fol
false imprisonment.

How Depraved Messenger Boy Fleeced
Many People.

CLEVELAND, o., June 16.--A dis
charged messenger boy has been doing a
land office business here during the past
week, on account of his knowledge,
gained in the service, of how Western
Union messages look and are delivered.
His plan has been to write a telegram,
address it to some well-known guest at
hotel. Enclose it IN an envelope and put
charges on the envelope. or course the
clerks would pay, as they did not notice
until the guests began to comment the
peculiar messages they were receiving,
what particular messenger boy had
delivered the messages in question. The
boy did business some time before it
became necessary for him to keep in the
back ground.
A theatrical manager received mes
sage reading: "Why did you not answer
my last telegram Mother and the rest
of us are we'll" For this he paid 40
cents.
Another man, bachelor, paid 80
cents for message reading; "Raby has
cuta new tooth and is doing well. Mary"
The Western Union Co. have re-
funded number of these payments,
and is investigating the case.

sisting of selections from the sacred scrip

The petition says LAS the whole religi-
Gus world united without objection in the
universal prayer to Our Father who art IN
Heaven during the Worlds Religious
Congresses Of 1893, we believe that all right
minded classes of Americans now agree on
the daily reading in the public schools of
suitable selections from the sacred scrip
lures and the reciting Of that prayer and
the two great commandments upon which
hang all the law and the prophets, thereby
liking i'll the minds of the children the
vital spiritual principles ON which good
citizenship and the future welfare of our
country so largely depend"

KILLED by HIS own roolhardlness.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June TO-
Thomas X. Feeney, aged SO years, Of
New York city, who was struck by a
Pennsylvania railroad tram at Torres
dale, last night, while returning from
the Morelton Inn, where he had gone
to witness the Cornell University boat
race, died after being removed to the
Presbyterian Hospital. Feeney was u
salesman for Arnold, Constable & Co.
The accident was due entirely to the
foolhardiness of Feeney. His COM
panions, Daniel Galanagaugh and F. II.
Lees, had crossed the track when some
one closed the gates. Feeney opened
the gates and although Galanagaugh
endeavored to restrain him, rushed
directly in the path of the locomotive.

Flames in Paper Warehouses Give the
Firemen u Hard Fight and do Much
Damage.
NEW GoRK. June IA fire which had
doubtless been smouderng for hours in
the basement Of a paper warehouse at No.
% Duane street was discovered at &. 40 this
morning. Fire alarms were sent out and
when the fire lighters arrived they found
the entire lower portion of the block
bounded by Pearl, Elm. Duane and
Broadway was mass of flames.
The fire was far beyond control, eating
its way through half dozen houses
stocked with hundreds of tons of paper.
Ten minutes after the alarm had been
sent out the flames shot up through an
air shaft in the building Of the Vernon
Paper Co., at No. % Elm street, over
liquor store and burst from dozen win
dows and the roof. The building occupied
by the Vernon Brothers & Co., paper
dealers, has its main entrance around
the corner at No. 60 Duane street. II ex-
tends directly through the block to Pearl
street fronting at No. $50. Directly in the
centre of the building an l. just Off aud
fronts at No. % Elm street. The air-shaft
through which the fire rushed was directly
in the centre of the building.
From this point the flames extended in
every direction. 1t was a bewilderlng
sight for the tiremen from the time the fire
started, and it was hard one to fight, on
account of the large stores of paper in the
buildings.
The fire burned for nearly two hours
and when at 1890 o'clock Il was under
control damage 70 the extent of $3.50, 900

by terrific wind and hail storm. Hail as
large as partridge eggs fell for 10 or 10
minutes, killing birds and poultry and
stripping trees of their foliage. Tobacco
plants, growing corn, gardens. and ripen-
ing wheat were injured considerably from
the violence of the storm.
In one instance it was observed that
horses ran into the Patuxent river up to
their necks to escape the pelting hail. The
storm came from the northeast, having
the force of tornado, and passed over the
river to ST. Marys county.
