Sword Orfhe Great Wallace,

1t is the popular belief in Scotland
that the sword of William Wallace, the
friend of Bruce, and the hero par ex.
cellence of Scottish romance, lies, with
other relics, at Sterling castle. This,
according to the story of Duncan Nc
Pherson McTavish of East Girard
avenue, is II popular mistake. He
alone has the sword of the Scottish
warrior, and he says that it has been
handed down from sire to son in the
McTavish clan for centuries. The
sword which the est emed High
lander proudly exhibits to his friends
is a most +, rmidable weapon. 1t is
exactly six feet four inches in length
and weighs somewhat over twenty
seven pounds. No ordinary man can
hold it ont at arms length, and not
even Sandow can WELD it for five
minutes. 1t is made, Mr.. McTavish
asserts, of the finest Damascus steel,
and he adds that but one head of his
clan - his great great great great
grandfather, Ian Dhu McTavish-
could use it in battle. and his strength
was SO great that, with this terrible
weapon, he could cut right through
all armed knight from the helmet to
the saddle of his horse. Mr.. Nc
lavish talks good deal of his famous
ancestor, especially after dinner, and
the stories he relates of his physical
prowess are sometimes wonderful

Children and Attempts Suicide.
New York, May "A house on Morton
street was the scene of bloody tragedy
Tuesday afternoon for which two causes
are given-one by the author and the
other by his friends. Jacob Gramm. 50
years old. murdered two OF his children.
MORALLY wounded a third and inflicted
fatal wounds OH himself.
During the absence of his wife, whom
he had sent to hunt for a new nat,
Gramm told woman who had been left
In charge Of the children that he would
take them upstairs and put them to
sleep. Gramm's son, Edward. returned
from school at o'clock and was sent to
awaken his father and the children. The
chamber door was fastened. and when he
climbed the escape he discovered the
butchery through a window. Gramm
lay on the floor, and the three children
upon bed.
The children had been frightfully
slashed with an AK. Their father had
used a breadknife to cash his throat. A
note found beneath the bloody AK, writ
ten by Gramm. indicated that his act
was caused by jealousy of his wife. His
friends state that he was temporarily
deranged by intense suffering from
rheumatism

A Midnapore correspondent tells
what lie is a true tale of the dis
covery of murder at that station by
the aid of n monkey. An itinerant
bundarwallah was waylaid by some
ruffians, robbed of the few rupees he
possessed, then murdered, and his
body thrown into bush. One OF
his monkeys witnessed the tragedy,
and followed the murderers to their
homes. Next morning Jacko led a
passerby to the bush and revealed the
corpse of his deceased master. The
matter was reported to the police, who
have, it is said, succeeded in tracing
the murderers by the aid of the mon
