A Bride of five Months Murdered by Her
Husbaud--Ihe Murderer Also Dead.
Lancaster, Pa, April Is. Joseph
Dougherty, who shot his wife in the
head aud then fired a bullet into his
own brain, at Warwick, last night, died
at 3 O'Clock this morning. The trag-
edy was believed at first to have been
double suicide. but all the evidence
now points to the shooting having been
done by Dougherty.
Previous to his marriage last Thanks
giving Day, he had been disslpatod,
but promised Miss Carpenter, the girl
he married. that he would stop drink
ing entirely. This promise he did not
keep and yesterday they came to this
city, when Dougherty imbibed pretty
freely. They returned to Lititz by
trolley car and on the way out the pas
sengers overheard Mrs. Dougherty CHI
ding her husband. She was weeping
and when he replied that there was
only one way to remedy the matter she
wept more bitterly. II is supposed
| from this that he had previously
| threatened to commit suicide and per-
haps kill her and that is what he
alluded to in his reply. She was heard
crying after she retired to her room at
home, and in all probability she further
upbraided him, when he took up his
revolver and after shooting her, turned
the weapon upon himself, infiicting a
wound which caused his death few
hours after that of his young bride.

Information Given by "a West Chester
Physician.

BnyhtCluns
DIR. Isaac Massey of West Chester
recently delivered an address before
the pupils of the West Chester High
School upon the theme OF "What to do
in an Emergency.
After briefly speaking of the neces-
sity of knowing what TO do in an emer-
gency If one would be Of service, he
proceeded to say 6 III one is injured it
is of the highest Importance to know
how to staunch the flow of blood. .
The best methods of badagipg so as
to check the flow OF the blood until a
doctor shall arrive was explained.
can important matter, said he, "is
to dispatch messenger FOR doctor
without delay. The messenger should
be able TO state briefly something about
the injury. If he is able 10 say the
right arm seems to be broken, it
enables the doctor TO prepare to prop
erly handle the case.
"If cinder from a locomotive or some
such irritating substance gets into
one's eye, it can be removed very
readily" The method of doing this
the doctor illustrated by calling one of
the young men to the platform and
going through an imaginary operation
Of this kind. He showed the young
people how easily the eyelid can be
turned back and the irritating sub
stance exposed.
Very often persons will choke when
about to swallow food. A very easy
remedy is simply TO blow your breath
into the patients ear. This will cause
him 10 cough and generally he expels
the substance, whatever 1t may be, that
is lodged in the throat.
''In case of one's clothes catching
fire, tho individual should avoid in
haling the fame, breathe as little as
possible and do not run out of doors or
into a draught. If assistance is at
hand the proper thing to be done is to
wrap the person up in something that
is nearly infammable as possible, a
piece of carpet or blanket. Lay the
patient down on the floor and draw
such wrappings around the body tightly,
80 as to prevent the air from having
an opportunity to fan the flame. Ii
can readily be smothered out in this
way. Ii water is convenient, of course
it effectively quenches the flame, but
it can be easily accomplished in the
way described.
In case one faints it is important
to keep back the crowd and do every
thing to give the patient all the air
possible to induce free and natural
breathing.
'To know how to resuscitate one thai
has been in the water, place the body
so as to allow the water from the lungs
to flow out from the mouth, wrap ir
blankets to keep the body warm. rut
freely so as to excite friction and re-
store circulation. Move the arms anc
breast so as to expand the lungs. Gen
orally If single breath can be induced
the patient can bo saved. Often pa

Simon CommItted Suicide,

his home on the causeway, Thursday
committed suicide. Soon after the mans
death the case was reported to Coroner
Stidham, and he and Deputy Chandler
made an investigation, and as it was

soon after his arrival Simon informed
him that he had taken Paris green,
and asked him to do what he could to

important to have the status of Seventh

ferred by the Street and Sewer Direc-

blame is to be put upon the city solicit
tor for any delay in working up the

THREE HAD NARROW ESCAPES.
Two Women Nearly Hun Down by Horse
and the Driver Badly Hurt.

and the Driver Badly Hurt.
Two women and man had marrow
escapes from death at Tenth anu Mar
ket streets about 8 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon. The women were compelled
to jump from in front of a horse, and
the frightened animal, after the car
riage to which it was attached had be-
come fast to an awning post, pulled the
driver. who was evidently the owner,
out over the dash board, but he was
rescued by two street car conductors
and several bystanders before he was
seriously injured. The names Of the
parties could not be ascertaintd
The man, who had the appearance Of
being farmer, was driving at a rapid
pace west on Tenth street. When the
team reached Market street the speed
was not slackened, although there were
three street cars at the corner and Bev-
eral pedestrians on the crossings. Two
women, who were on the west side of
Market street, and were crossing Tenth,
naturally thought the team would slow
up, but they we're disappointed, and
just as the horse was about to spring
upon them they jumped and thus es-
capped death. Tho horse was evidently
frightened at seeing the women jump,
and ii gave leap forward and sprang
in toward the curb. One of the front
wheels Of the carriage ran up on the
sidewalk and the axle caught the
awning post and tho team was stopped.
Tho frightened horse kept on and pulled
loose by breaking tho harness, and also
the carriage. But the driver kept hold
of the reins. Tho consequence was he
was pulled out over the dash board
and was caught in the front wheel.
Fortunately the horse did not run away,
and the man was rescued before he was
seriously injured. After some delay
he patched up the harness and drove off.
Many people saw the accident and
they fully expected both of the women
and the driver of the team would be
badly injured, il not killed.
1t was learned that the team belonged
to DR.. Osborn.

Ne,y style of Bindinr Boo,,s.

The management of the Institute
Free Library has decided upon new
style of bindings for juvenile and
fiction books which they have rebound.
Heretofore American Russia bindings
have been put on, and in most cases
the bindings have been more durable
and outworn the books. This material
was rather expensive, and it was learned
that linen, which will wear almost as
we'll. would look as good and answer
the purpose admirably. Therefore the
latter binding is now being used, and
the management is saving 20 cents on
each book, which is quite an item,
considering the quantity of work of
this description which is usually done
in year. This year 81, 000 was ap-
propriated for the purpose. The bind
ings on other books will be the same as
has been used heretofore. The work is
being done by Robert L. Stuart and is
giving the utmost satisfaction.

evening on 'tNatives of Alaska and

far north as Point Barrow. They
brought several hundred reindeer from
Siberia to Alaska for the purpose of
domesticating them. Dr. Sharp de-
scribed the seal islands and the habits
Of the seal. Seals are being murdered !;
the mother is killed, and her young
starve to death. lie held it would be
better for the United States to kill all
the seal at once rather than allow them
to starve. Russia does not allow any
vessels near the Russian seal islands.
If vessel is caught there the sailors
are sent to the mines. BY this method
the seals are preserved. But the
French, German and English permit
seal to be stolen at any time. The Ice
