years, and until he has lost all use of

mother on a farm near Mitchell, but
when his mother determined to sell the
farm he vowed that if she did so he
would go to bed and remain there.
Te farm was sold and he kept his
vow. Eventually he was removed to
Mitchell, still persstently remaining in
bed, and until her death his mother
cared for him as she did in his infant
days. Her death came two lears ago
and the watchers at the bier claim that
he stole to the casSet and looked at her,
stealing tock to bed again upon finding
himself observed
He never leaves his bed and while he
converses freely with callers, he always
keeps his head muttied under the bed
clothing, so that a clear view of his
face cannot be had.

MARKETS AND STOCKS.
Wall Street Review,

New York, Feb. 1.-Stocks were ir-
regular, but in the main firm. The IT.
regularity was attributed to the desire
of the senate committee to amend the
general arbitration treaty. London
firms sold fairly large amounts of the
international stocks on this account
and professional operators short of the
market attempted to force liquidation.
Very little impression was made on
prices, except in a few instances.
Manhattan and Lackawanna, how
ever, We're rather feverish and did not
receive the support accorded the gen.
eral list. There was good buying of
the Northern Pacifics and the new
preferred rose to within a fraction of
SO. Louisville and Nashville was
higher on the favorable reArt for De-
cember. In the industrials, Chicago
Gas was in request. Speculation
closed irregular but in the main firm.
Net changes show losses of Aa1 per
cent. Western Union, Northern Pa
cific preferred and Omaha, however,
gained BaB per cent. Total sales
We're $4,000 shares.

MONTROSE MURDER CASE.
John and Michael Kelley Must Answer
for the COwardly Killing of
Leon d. Gage.

Montrose, Feb 1.-The trial of John
and William Kelly, charged with the
murder of Leon d. Gage, at Brack-
neyville on Aug. 10 last, will occupy
the attention of the court of quarter
sessions of Susquehanna county this
week.
on Saturday, Aug. 10, 1896, John and
Michael Kelly attended a picnic at
Quaker Lake. When evening came
they drove to Wards hotel at Brack-
neyville about a mile distant, and To-
Gated fourteen miles from Montrose.
They had had considerable liquor at
the picnic, and as their appetites
craved more, they proceeded to satisfy
their desires. About II o'clock they
became angry at a remark made by
Thomas Gahagan, and assaulted him
in the hotel bar room. Thomas Ward,
the proprietor elected the Kelys.
Gahagan left the hotel about mid
night and had scarcely reached the
stree before he was attacked by the
Kellys, who had been waiting outside.
Ward and Gage ran outside to act as
peacemakers. Gage reached the belig-
erenr trio sooner than Ward, as the
latter is lame When Ward arrived
a few seconds later, Gage lay on the
ground He was barely able to gasp:
Tom, he's got a knife; it's there"
pointing to John Kellys right hand.
Ward grasped Kelly's hand and called
for assistance. Patrick Donovan, who
was some distance from the scene,
came to his aid. and finally Kelly was
overpowered and the knife taken from
his hands, but not before Donovan had
received a bad cut upon his arm. Ga
hagan and Michael Kelly, who had
been fighting during the meantime,
We're separated; then attention was
given to Gage, who was already un-
conscious. The Kellys disappeared un-
Ger the cover of darkness but We're
soon after arrested.
After taking Gage into the hotel a
huge cash was discovered in his groin;
the femoral artery had been complete
ly severed q, and he soon died.

February is has been fixed when the
application will be argued When DR..
Johnston was brought into the court
room he looked pale and anxious, more
so than at any time since the trial
began Wednesday a week ago, and
when the verdict was announced he
came very near fainting 1t was a
big surprise to him. it having been
learned that he had expected n verdict
of acquittal Mrs. Johnston became
hysterical at the Rhinesmith hotel
where she is stopping. The court room
was well filled with spectators and the
excitement here is very great, while at
Duncannon the people are pleased with
the verdict. Had DR. Johnston been
acquitted he would not have been re-
leased, but sent to some insane asylum
by Judge Lyons for at least three
months, or until he had sufficiently re-
covered from the delusional insanity
under which he is laboring.
This has been the most expensive
trial Perry couty has ever had, and 1t
is estimated $4,000 will not cover the
cost of attorneys fees, etc. Drs.
Moulton, Wood and Mills the experts
on insanity, are credited with receiV-
ing 81 900 each, while three of DR.. john
stons attorneys, Bergner, Shull and
Seibert, got $1,000 each, and Mr., Beck
is said to have gotten $4,000 and $4,000
additional if his client is acquitted.

wealth, eX-Judge Barnett and son, eX-
Senator Smiley and Mr.. Weidman, are
said to have received $500 each. There
