Deputy Sheriff Fish had an exciting
little experience on Saturday night.
While driving home at rapid pace,
about eleven O'Clock. man jumped out
from the Batchelder lumber shed, and
evidently attempted to stop his team or
jump into his buggy. Mr.. Fish whipped
out his revolver and thrust it into the
mans face, which staggered him. He
jumped behind the buggy and ram Mr..
Fish turned about and drove back and
took Officer Parker, and they made a
thorough search, but found no one in or
near the lumber yar0. At the depot
there was man who had suspicious
look but he could not be sufficient
entlhed to warrant arrest.

PROGRESS IN TEMPERANCE.

Changes I'm Social Customs as Anect-
ing the Drink Habit.
From Senator Sherman's Hecollections
1t was at this period OF my life that I
fell into very bad habits Many of the
boys about my age who were with me at
Howe's school were still about Lancaster,
and were out of employment like myself.
We would meeF on the street or at the post
Office or some place OF resort to talk over
old times. and got into the habit of drink
ing poor wire. mostly made of diluted
whisky and drugs. The general habit of
drinking spirits was then more common
than now. but I had not been subject to
this temptation. as Col. Curtis was very
strict in prohibiting all such drinking.
With tire jolly good fellows ] met at Lam
caster, who had nothing to do, could not
refuse to join in drinking the health of
each other. and thus l was conscious fire.
quently of being more or less intoxicated.
On one occasion, in the fall of 1889. I
went home very sick from drinking. My
mother received me with much SURPRISE
and sorrow, but neither complained nor
soolded, and with the utmost kindness
put me to bed and watched over and cared
for me. was not stupid enough to be un-
conscious of my degradation and her affec-
ticn. and then and there resolved never to
be in such condition again, and from that
time time to his ! am not conscious of having
been unoer the influence of liquor. 1 have
partahen of wine and spirits at weddings,
feasts and dinners. 1 have used it as a
medicine end in response to toasts aud
compliments, out never to an extent to
addle my brain or disturb my walk
At that time irtemperance was a COM
mon vice. OF the young men who were NV
contemporaries very large proportion be-
came habitual drunkards and died prema-
tnrely. No reform in my time has been so
general and beneficial as that of the dsuse
OF Or mixing intoxicating liquors. commenc-
ing in 1S4l. Formerly liquors were put on
the sideboard or table. and the invitation,
take drink" was as common then as
take a seat is now.
This method of treating was shared in
by preachers of the Gospel, and by all who
observed the courtesies of social life. Now
these conditions have greatly changed.
Whisky is banished to the drug store, the
grocery and the saloon. and even there it
is under surveillance and so highly taxed
as to furnish a large proportion of the ma

A SCHOOL BOYS PRANK.
As Recalled by n Man Who Has Gain
ed Distinction in Life.

From Senator Sherman's Recollections.
Among my school adventures at Mount
Vernon was one 1 heartily regret. We had
a teacher by the name of Lord. He was
small man, and not able to cope with sew
eral of the boys in the school. We called
him "Bunty Lord" One evening after
school four boys, of whom 1 was one. while
playing on the commons, found a dead
sheep.
1t was suggested that We carry the sheep
into the school room and place it on Lords
seat. This was promptly done, and wrote
a Latin couplet. purporting that this was
a very worthy sacrifice to very poor
Lord, and placed it on the head of the
sheep. The next morning Lord found the
sheep and made a great outcry against the
indignity. Efforts were at once made to
ascertain the actors in this farce, and
proof was soon obtained. My handwriting
disclosed my part in the case, and the re-
suit was a prompt discharge OF the cul-
prits from school; but poor Lord lost his
place because of his manifest inability to
govern his unruly pupils.

THE AR MISTlCE.

Terms First Proposed by Japan and Those
Afterward Granted-The Armistice Ex-
pires by Limitation and Without Notice
on April 80 Unless Peace Negotiations
Are Broken Meanwhile or an Extension
Proclaimed.
LONDON. April IA Toxic dispatch
to the Central News says that at the
first conference with the japanese
plenipotentiaries Ii Hung Chang
asked that an arniistice be established.
The japanese in reply to this PROPOSE
ton stated that an armistice would be
granted on the following conditions:
The occupation by japanese troops
of Shan liakwan, Taku and TEN
Tsin, and Japanese control of the
Shan lIakwan tS Tien.Tsin railway;
also, that the forts, arms and ammu-
milton at the places mentioned be
given into the possession of the Jap
ancse and that war contributions nee.
essary for such occupation be paid by
China.
LII Hung Chang asked for more mod
crate conditions, but upon meeting
with refusal he proposed to continue
the negotiations without suspension
of hostilities.
Matters had progressed thus far at
the third conference when the assault
upon the Chinese viceroy occurred. In
view of this untoward event the en-
peror of Japan ordered the plenipo-
tentiaries to consent to a temporary
arlnistice, waving all the above con.
ditions, The principal points agreed
upon are as follows:
The locality of the enforcement Of
the armistice comprises Fengtien
Chilli and Shangtung. The opposing
armies are to maintain the positions
hitherto occupied, and are not to ad-
vance beyond them. Neither govern
ment is precluded from making any
new distribution and arrangement of
troops not intended to augment the
armies actually in the field, but at sea
transports conveying troops or mate
rial contraband of war are subject to
capture.
The term of the armistice is three
weeks and expires without notice at
midday on April 90, providing the
peace negotiations are not broken off
in the meantime. The convention was
signed Saturday. Iii Hung Chang OBJ
tanned the signatures of the japanese
plenipotentiaries and Count Ito OBJ
tanned the signature of Ii Hung Chang.
The armistice does not apply to places
not specified in the convention.

Meridian, March 26.-This community
was shocked this morning by the an
nouncement of tho death of Mrs. M. A.
Hill, about A years old, and the very
critical condition of her daughter-in-
law, Mrs. h. S. Hill, which was caused
by taking strychnino instead of quinino
last night about o'clock. Tho women,
it seems, were suffering from cold and
decided they would each take dose of
quinine. 1t seems tho family were in
the habit of buying empty capsules and
filling them themselves, and by some
mistake the poison was substituted in
this instance for the quinino. The elder
Mrs. Hillswallowed a very largo capsule
and died in great agony in less than
one hour, the efforts of the physicians
to countoract the effects of tho poison
proving utterly futile. The younger
Mrs. Hill, who took much smaller
dose than her mother-inlaw, convulsed
with great pain, soon became uncon-
scious and but for the timely efforts OF
tho physicians she too would havo
died, There is an unsolvei mystery
connected with this deplorablc affair
inasmuch as no member of tho family
has at any time had strychnine or poison
of any kind about the premises. 1t is
therefore conjecturcd that some un-
known assassin placed tho poison where
the women would find it. The coroner's
jury failed to bring out any facts that
would serve as key to the mystery.

Interesting Operations on the Heads Of

The operation, in brief, consists of
taking out a piece of the skull bone
from the top of the head thus afford
ing the cramped brain an opportunity
to grow and develop in cases where its
growth has been obstructed in infancy
by the premature closing of the fon-

Of muslin was bound around its head
to prevent loss of blood. Dr. Powell
then made long cut down the center
of the head, beginning at the forehead
and ending in the crown. The scalp
was then laid back, and four trsphine
openings were made in the skull. A
broad strip of silver was then thrust
gently into one of the openings and
worked along between the brain and
the skull until it protruded from the
next hole, thus forming q shield be.

A cut was made from one trephned

Two more cuts were made between the
other two trephincd holes, the bone

4 BRUTAL MURDER.

The Horribly Mutilated Body of a kegro
Woman Found in Sixth Avenue, New
York--The Unfortunate Victim Had Been
strangied to Death and Her Limbs Sew
cred from Her Body-Pinioncd with q
BEDFORD.
New YORK, April 1.-The body of
negro woman, strangled to death and
with both legs cut off at the knees,
and large cash at the right hip, was
found at s o'clock yesterday in front OF
67 Sixth avenue.
Around the neck was piece of pink
gauze or cheese cloth, about five feet
long, which was twisted to serve as
rope. This was knotted once over the
windpipe and drawn so tightly that
the skin was broken and few drops
of blood oozed out The tongue was
protruding, and it was evident that
death was caused by strangulation.
At the outer side of the right hip
and extending to the lower part of the
abdomen was large and jugged cash.
The skin was drawn away from the
borders of the wound and the severed
muscles stuck out as though cut in a
rough manner. An examination of
the legs showed that they had been
cut off just below the knees. In both
cases the knee cap remained on the
| trunk.
There was no mutilation as in the
case of the victims OF Jack the Rip
per" in London. Bloody serum oozed
from ha Of
The arms lay across the breast, the
right hand crossed over the left and
tied with what appeared to be a Sec
tion Of ordinary clothesline. A slip
moose. was made over the left wrist,
then passed around the right wrist.
The rope was then passed around the
body once, pinioning the arms closely
to the chest, the end being secured in
a double knot.
On the body was tightly-fitting
chemise, the lower part of which was
saturated with blood, where it had
come in contact with the severed
limbs. The other garment on the
body was cheap black cloth shirt.
There was nothing to indicate the
identity of the dead woman. She was
apparently about 2S or 80 years old,
about 5 feet 4 inches high; was of
physical development, and probably
weighed 1870 pounds.
The murder, the police reason, was
done in house. The absence Of
blood at the spot where the body was
found; the fact that the clothes about
the body were not more bloody, go to
show that the killing was done at
some other place, The object of cut
ting off the legs, the police believe,
was to place the body in trunk, box
or other small space, for the purpose
of carrying it away from the scene of
the crime.
Capt. Delaney is bending all his
energies to learn who the woman is.
