DEADLY LEBEL BULLET.
Its Penetrating Force as Shown b,
Use in the French Ar1nv

The writer of an article in the echo
de Paris referring to certain disad-
vantages offered, as alleged. by the
British magazine rifle bullet. argues
that the bullet fired by the Lebel rifle
renders all the services required. and
does not stand in need of Improvement
or of any such notifications as those
introduced in the Dum-dum bullet
AT 1900 meters the Lebel bullet tray-
erses the fieshy portions of the human
body and skaters the bones of the
limbs. The penetrating force of the
bullet IS enormous. During the Daho-
.mey. campaign a Lebel bullet was found
to have passed through a. tree and
through the five natives who had taken
refuge behind it. The French officers
VINO have been able to observe the eff
fects of the bullet in Dahomey, Tonkin
and Madagascar declare that the men
struck by the Lebel bullet in full ira
jectory fall at once after a conyl1lsive
leap.
When the camp of General Dodds
during his march on Abomey, was the
object of surprise attack the terrible
effectiveness of the Lebel bullet was
proved in the most signal fashion. The
assailants received the bullets almost
Immediately after they had left the
rifles, and entire files Of the native war
riors We're seen to have fallen one on
top of the other traversed by the same
projectile. If the bullets had not stop
ped the natives forthwith General
Doods forces would have been wiped
out. Occasionally, no doubt, man
struck by a Lebel bullet is not put hors
du combat Immediately, but this event
is rare, and such cases VIGOROUSLY oc-
Cured in the past when bullets of
larger caliber were in use.
~ phe writer concludes by saying that
the French have no reason to feel
alarmed at the complaints made of the
ineffectiyeTiess under certain conditions
of the British magazine rifle bullet of
small caliber- IF the ee-Metford

tory regultssthe blame does not lie with

Story of President Arthur.

An amusing story is being told of
President Arthur regarding an occur
renee which happened during the last
year of his occupancy of the White
House. He was one of the most prince
~ Chief Executives who have filled
that high office. He entertained Law
ishly and dined out quite frequently
President Arthur kept late hours, and
the ushers who were on duty at the
White House at times went to sleep
depending On the noise of the carriaga
wheels and the horses hoofs to wake
them before the President could reach
the door. One night a dinner was given
in General Arthur's honor by the Gov
eTnor of the Soldiers Home and it was

The four ushers and policemen went 10
sleep, three of them in an anteroom
just east of the private dining-room
and the fourth went to the basement to
indulge in a short nap.
While the guardians of the peace were
asleep snow began falling, and the
Presidents carriage sped noiselessly to
the mansion, and, of course, the ush-
ers slept on. No footman was on the
box, and on finding the doors locked
the President rang the bell, but failed
to receive any response After try
ing for several minutes to arouse some
one he raised one of the windows and
climbed in. Finding the men asleep
the President took the carriage rob S

President had found they We're negli-

of them, as they anticipated dismissal
when the President reached his desk
Finally they mustered up courage
enough to apologize, to which General
Arthur replied:

When Lord Derby imported his herd

The quagga, the most horselike of the
striped asses, is las absolutely extinct
as the dodo.'' The last specimen eXhib-
tied alive in England was presented to
the Geological Gardens in. 1858. Just
a century ago Barrow, in his s'Trave.s, -
gave a glowing description of its good
qualities, which should have insured
its preservation. He wrote of it as
we'll shaped and strong limbed, not III
the least vicious, but, on the contrary,
soon rendered by domestication mild
and tractable He goes on to speak of
the abundance of quaggas, yet few, he
says have given themselves the trouble
-of turning them to any kind of use.
This is the more to be regretted since
the quagga was fully as strong as, and
infinitely more, beautiful than, the
mule, as easily supported on almost any
kind of food, ard never out of flesh III
the early part of this century "a pair of
imported quaggas were driven, about
London by Sheriff Parkins, and hybrds
bred in the geological Gardens between
the quagga and the ass used to draw
a light tandem, in which vegetables
were brought from Covent Garden to

Special to the Ardmoreite.
Wynnewood. I. t.. Dec. 49,
One Of the most brutal murders on
the calendar was committed. near
here last night.
Abont 1880 o'clock Dolf Jarrett
found the body OF q man dead on
the railroad track about two miles
north from this place. which, upon
examination. he identified as being
the body of George Miller.
Jarrett at once reported the mat
ter to the railroad officials and also
to the court officials.
An Investigation led to the ar
rest of four men, one of whom
made a confession duplicating
others.
Ine parties arrested are: VIII
Hines. Rufus Rose, Lewis Rose
and Kenif Ward.
Deceased was shot in the back,
the ball entering under the right
shoulder blade. coming out four
inches below the left nipple.
His throat was also cut from eal
to ear and his head and face hor'
ribly beaten.
The murderers then placed ths
body across the railroad track
thinking thus to remove all traces
of the crime from themselves.
The prisoners were taken t.
Paul's Valley this afternoon for {
preliminary examination.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The ARDMoREITE's excellent tel
ephone service, furnishes rus with
another account of the murder at
Wynnewood last night, as follows:
George Miller aged 19 or 20
years. by occupation common
laborer, and an honest man, who
has lived here about twelve months,
and whose people live at Coalgate,
was killed here last night.
Miller and two small boys were
going along the road together.
The boys were on an errand of
some nature and asked Miller to
60 with them; nearing a tent, he
said he would stop in there. as he
was acquainted with the parties
living there. The boys saw him
enter the tent and they went on.
They had only gone short dis
tance when they heard a shot in
the direction of the tent.
Returning from their errand,
they found Miller's body on the
railroad near the tent. This hur-
ried them into town where they
told their story.
City Marshal Ace Aubrey went
to the tent and arrested the four
men, who were considered to be
woodchoppers, but are now be-
lieved to be whisky peddlers. On
one of the party a bloody knife
was found.
The officers asked if they had
any guns, to which one replied that
he had a gun in a trunk in the
tent, but being broken it would
not shoot.
The officers went to the tent and
had the women open the trunk
They found the gun and by O
lucky chance they picked up the
missing piece of the weapon close
by where the body of the dead
man was laid on the track.
The dead man presented a
ghastly sight. A deep cash three
inches long on his forehead, his
throat cut from ear to ear, his face
aud Jaw mashed and teeth knocked
out by the terrible blows received
and the bullet holes in the body
All presented a sickening sight.
One of the party has confessed
and says that two Rose men die
the killing, but it is thought thai
all four are implicated. He alst
says Miller was killed because they
feared he would inform the off
GERS ihat they were peddlins
