TO MY CYCLE.

Dear other SELF so silent, swift and sure,
My dumb companion of delightful days,
Might fairy fingers from thy orbit rays
OF steel strike music, as the gods of yore
From reed or shell. What melodies would pour
On my glad ears! What songs of woodland
ways,
Of summer wealth of corn or the sweet lays
OF Aprils budding green, while overmore
We twain one living thing, flash like the light
Down the long tracks that stretch from sky to
skyl
Thou hast thy music too. What time the noon
Beats sultry on broad roads, when, gathering
night,
We drink the keen edged air, or, darkling fly
'Twixt hcdgerows blackened by Il mystic moon.

WAS He JACK THE RIPPER !?
The Startling Statement Made by Carl
Feigenbaum'S Counsel.
A REPUTABLE LAWYERS BELIEF.
Thinks the Man Electrocuted for Murder at
Sing Sing Yesterday Was None other
Than the Fiend who Terrorized the
whitechapel District of London.

SING SING, n. Y, April 2S.-Carl Feig-
enbaum, alias Anton Lain, who mur-
dered Mrs Johanna Hoffman in New
York on Sept. /, 1894, was executed by
electricity in the state penitentiary here
yesterday. Feigenbaum protested his In
nooence to the last.
New YORK, April 2S.-The Advertiser
this morning publishes the following;
II believe that Carl Feigenbaum, whom
you have just seen put to death in the
electric chair, can easily be connected
with the Jack the Ripper murders in
Whitechapel, London"
Feigenbaum was electrocuted yesterday
In Sing Sing prison, and this statement
was made by his counsel, William s. Law
ton.
Before speaking the lawyer explained
that he revealed the secret of the dead be-
cause he felt it to be his duty to science
and to law. Lawyer Lawton then began
the recital of story on which he said he
based his belief that Feigenbaum had been
guilty of perhaps dozen butcheries.
zone night l stayed with him for over
two hours" he said, 'and he told me that
for years he had been the victim of a
malady, disease that periodically preyed
upon him, and which forced him in spite
of himself to satisfy an incarnate love he
had for woman by numbering and mutt
lating her. l was so startled that for the
moment did not know what to do.
"Then the Jack tine Ripper butcheries
occurred to me, and l began to search
Feigenbaum's record. l learned that he
was in Wisconsin at the time the country
was startled by the news of the murder
and mutilation of several women there.
Then communicated with London and
discovered that Feigenbaum was also there
when so many fallen women fell victims
to the knife of some mysterious assassin.
/ questioned Feigenbaum closely, and
found that he could converse with intelli-
gence on surgery and dissection but when
asked if he knew anything about these
subjects he would feign an ignorance that
was unnatural"
Other points advanced by Lawyer Law
ton were: First, that the knife with which
he killed Mrs. Hoffman was found to have
on it old blood stains. Again, Feigen'
| baum was known to have used many
aliases, but only in different towns. As O
matter of fact, his real name is Karl Zahn,
and he never would explain why he had
changed it.
"The man was devil" " concluded Mr.
Lawton. 'His motive for the crime was
his frightful desire for mutilation."

INJURED BY A DUALIN CAP.
Boys Apply a Match to One and an
Explosion Follows.
NEITHER WAS DANGEROUSLY HURT
Story of a Hotel Beat-He Became so Much
Interested in the Fate of Another
of the Fraternity That He
Gave Himself Away.

The curious boy and the shocking dualin
cap have come to the front once more and, of
course, the boy is the victim. Thus the cap
got in its work on two youthful knowledge
seekers but fortunately neither Of them were
dangerously injured
Clinton Lindenmuth and John Eisenhart
are cousins, 8 years of age, and reside at
Brownsville They spent several hours in
town yesterday and while walking along
West Coal street on their way home in the
evening found dualin cap.
The two boys became absorbed in their
find and suggested to each other all sorts of
possibilities if the cap was exploded, One
said it made nice sparks and fire like a
Fourth of July" and the other dwelt upon
the impressive report that accompanies the
explosion. Soon the match entered upon the
scene and Clinton tickled the cap under the
hood in a testing way with the little igniting
stick the sulphur seemed to throw out fumes
of delight over the fun it anticipated with
the boys.
After more talk and speculation the match
was struck, the flame applied to the cap and
then cr-r-r-ak DR.. G.. NJ. Hamilton found
Lindenmuth's right hand badly burned and
lacerated. One of Eisenharts hands and
one of his legs sustained a few cuts but the
services of doctor was not required. Both
boys will ignore dualm caps hereafter and il
is hoped that others will profit more by their
experience than these boys did by the many
similar incidents of the past.

\ Cloth Seller Arrested Here on Halle
ton Complaint.

4 Cloth Seller Arrested Here on n Halle
ton Complaint.
Among the guests at the Ferguson House
during the past few days was one who
registered as "P. Leahy, n. Y" visitor to
the house yesterday was John I. Noe, the
book agent Detective Amour recently brought
back fIom Atlantic City. Noe attracted
considerable attention at the hotel, and
when Leahy learned Noes identity he
became very much interested in him.
Somebody remarked that Noe was brought
back here on a charge of jumping board
bill and Leahy manifested so much interest
in this part of the conversation that Detec-
tive Amour who was one of the cOnversing
party, became suspicious. Amour had been
notified by telegraph to look out for one p.
j. Lee, a salesman of cloth, who left an un-
paid board bill at Hazleton. Leahy's con-
Germ about Noe and the similarity of the
names caused Amour to decide to telegraph
for the Hazleton complainant, who proved to
be Hotelkeeper w. IL. Smith, who sixteen
years ago kept saloon and restaurant under
the Harrington building at the corner Of
Main and Centre streets, in this town. Smith
arrived yesterday afternoon with warrant
and promptly identified Leahy, Or Lee, when
Amour pointed him out. An arrest was
made, Leahy expressing great surprise and
explaining that it was his intention to return
to Hazleton last night and settle the claim.
He said his right name was p, J. Lee. He
paid the board bill and the costs incurred in
hunting him up. Some Of the people who
took part in the morning conversation and
heard of the afternoon development had a
good laugh at Lees expense.
Last night Detective Amour received a
telegram from Hazleton, instructing him to
hold Lee for w. NJ. Hughes, the Hazleton
liveryman, who had a claim of s12. Lee had
already left town for Mahanoy City and a
search at the latter place for him last night
proved fruitless.

A the regular church service in the af-
ternoon the congregation filled the church
and was most attentive The altar was
layishly decorated with Easter lilies,
callas, out flowers and potted plants in
great abundance The music was most
admirable. as it always is at this church,
being under the direction of Mr.. Carl
Weber with Miss Cora Weber as organ
list. To them and to the we'll trained
choir much credit is due for the fine rem
dition of the anthems, "Christ Our Pass
over" and "Thanks be to God Who Civ
eth Us the Victory;'' also the Lords
Prayer, softly sung at the close of the
PASTORS prayer.
The sermon by the Rev. George D.
Lindsay. Was a most inspiring one from
the text "Who Will Roll Us Away the
Stone" 1t mainly preached the risen
Christ and many touching comforting
and beautiful thoughts were' brought
forth. In the course of the sermon men
tion was made of the stones in every life
of usefulness and growth, and the young
particularly were admonished not to be
over anxious as to the rolling away of
these stones, for earnestness and sinoeri-
ty in the performance of all every day
duties and building up character would
give the needed Strength to roll away the
stones. Growth, either physical or spir-
| itual is not to be forced.
In the evening Sabbath school con-
cert was held and the happy scholars
with their friends again filed the church.
