A HORSE IN a BARBER SHOP.

A HORSE IN A BARBER SHOP.
A large brown horse attached to one
OF I" ellis, Fargo & Co.'S express wagons
was standing with the wagon backed
up 10 the platform, in the station of the
Erie Railroad at Jersey City Sunday
afternoon when ferryboat from Twen,
iy-third street came in. The horse took
fright at the boat as it was making the
landing and ran toward the narrow
passageway behind the station, where
the newsboys keep their boxes standing,
ready TO 90 out on the trains. There
we're number OF boys sitting on the
boxes chatting when the horse came
along, and they at once jumped up and
began swinging their hats and making
an effort to stop him. The horse ma lie
sudden turn and dashed into the bar
ber shop of the station, frightening the
BARRIERS and their customers nearly out
of their wits. The horse stuck fast in
the window, with his head and fore
legs in the shop and the two hind legs
outside. He AZ once began to founder
around, and smashed nearly every
thing in the room, doing about $500
damage before getting so tangled up in
the harness that he fell over on his
side. One of the BARRIERS, having more
presence of mind than the rest, ran out
and jumped on the horses head when
he fell, and kept him down until as
>iAance came. A man who was in the
chair nearest the horse, getting shaved,
had narrow escape from being ipjur-
ed by the houndering animal. The
passengers who were waiting in the
station for trains were greatly alarmed
at the noise and confusion which fol-
lowed the runaway. A gang of men
from the railway yards hoisted the
horse out Of his predicament with a tall
and tackle. N. Y. Sun.

about voting for Mckinley. he natural

STABBED TO DEATH.-Sam Thai

was stabbed to death in Richmond
yesterday evening by J. E. Weimer,
who charged that his victim had be.
trayed his daughter The tragedy took
place in Fifth street, within sight Of
the Middle District police station.
Weimer met Thalheimer near the
scene of the attack, drew big pocket
knife, and drove it into the breast of
the youth ten times. Four Of the
wounds are within few inches of each
other. Thalheimer was removed to a
near-by drug store, where he died
about ten or fifteen minutes after the
assault. Weimer promptly called out
for the police, and when an officer ap-
preached him surrendered. He de-
clared to the policeman, and later to
reporters when questioned 10 his cell at
the station, that he killed Thalheimer
because the latter had ruined his
daughter, nineteen years old. Weimer,
who is blacksmith, says that his
daughter confessed that Thalheimer is
the author of her ruin. The girl is
pretty, and her father says is para
lyzed on one side The father states
that ne and his wife were not
aware until very recently the cause of
their daughters trouble. She had
been treated by physician for another
difficulty 81 killed the man." ex-
claimed Weimer in his cell last night,

would repeat ust what l have done.
This man has ruined my home"
Young Thalheimer is the son of Chas
Thalheimer, well-known and highly
respected Broad street Jewish mer.
chant. The lad has borne good repu-
tstion. Weimer went to Richmond
about year ago from Wytheville.

Danielson, March HI. Dwight Bas-
sett, one of the best known citizens Of
Brooklyn, was drowned last night while
trying to remove the dashboard from
the dam which holds back the water
at his saw and grist mill in that town.
The river had swollen enormously and
Mr.. Bassett feared for the safety of
the retaining wall. He had often re-
moved the dashboard on previous occa-
sions, but last night he lost his ball
ance and feel over into the deep water.
His body was found this morning
about an eighth of a mile below. He
was seventy years old and reputed to
be worth $4,000 or $4,000. A son lost
his life in the same manner fifteen
years ago and but four years ago an
other son of Mr.. Bassett's was run over
and killed by the latter's team. A wife
and a daughter living in Tilton. N. H,

She Came or the Mud slowly and Easily
Perfectly Sound.

New York, March 1.-The steamer
New York was engaged in placing her
steerage passengers on the steamer
John A Moore at $50 o'clock this morn
ing, when the half dozen tugs of the
Merritt company that were hitched to
her pulled her off the mud in the lower
bay. She came off slowly and easily,
with no strain at all. The tide was un-
usually high and the ship was assisted
by heavy easterly swell. After she
was hoated the steamer proceeded to
her pier in the North river at the foot
of Fulton street. She has sustained no
damage whatever and will sail on We'd
nesday morning. Before getting her
off great deal of her cargo was light
ened. She will not go into drydock,
having been inspected and pronounced
thoroughly sound. The company at
taches no blame to any one for the ac-
cident and her old captain will COM
mand her on her outward voyage.

one of the guests. The quarrel had not
been settled when Michael went out for
more wine.

him into the Kitchen All the people
in the house profess ignorance as to
what transpired there. They say they
heard two pistol shots in rapid success
sion and on rushing into the kitchen
found mother and son stretched on the
floor. There was d bullet hole under
Mrs. Kraemer's left ear and another
under her sons right eye. In his hand
he still held smoking revolver. Ten
