The other night, during a thunder
storm of rare severity, in which bril-
liant fashes-single, double, triple or
quadruple-followed one another at
intervals often of not more than a few
seconds of time, 1 was surprised to
see with great vividness on a sudden
ly illuminated sky two nearly vertical
lines of darkness, each of the ordinary
jagged appearance of a bright flash OF
lightning. I remembered to have
seen two real flashes of just the same
shapes and relative positions, and L
concluded hat the black flashes were
due to their residual influence on the
retina.
1 turned my eyes quickly from the
dark sky outside to an illuminated
wall inside the house, and I again saw
the same double dark flash, which
verified my conclusion in an interest
ing hammer The fatigued part ofthe
eye failed to perceive the sudden
brightness of the sky in the one case
and of the wall in the other. Lord

MURDERED AT HIS OWN GATE.
Ten Men Went Up to Joseph Ruikosky
and One Killed Him With a Ratchet.

SHENANDOAH, Penn. Especially Joseph
Rutkosky, OF William Penn, a suburb of
this city, was standing at his front gate
conversing with a nelghbor, and his wife
and seven-year-old son were looking on,
whe ten men rushed up to them. The
leader pulled out a Ratchet which he had
concealed under his coat and deliberately
struck Rutkosky on top OF the head, crush
ing his skull. Immediately the assassins
took to their heels and escaped. Rutkosky
died In a short time.
The citizens went wild with excitement
on hearing of the murder. A party was
organized and started In pursuit OF the
murderers who had made their way to the
mountains. There seven suspected men
were captured and put in jail in this city.
They are John and Anthony Senkewickz,
Mathew and Raleigh Bubnis, Charles
Kutchis, Michael Brozssky and Andrew
KurnIs. Raleigh Bubnis, 1t is alleged, Is
the one who struck the blow. The crowd
threatened to lynch them before they were
locked up in jail. No reason is assigned
for the murder other than Mr.. Rutkosky
was mistaken for another man.

BEEF PRICES co UP.
Highest Rate Since 1852 For Cattle on the
Hoof-An Increasing Demand.

CHIcAGo (Speeiai). Steaks cost Chicago
people two or three cents Il pound more,
as n result OF another increase in the price
OF beef.
Cattle on the hoof are selling at $500 a
hundred pounds, which is the highest price
reached since 1882. As an explanation OF
the continual increase In prices, the pack
ers say the demand is greater by 100 per
cent. han 1t ever was before. And, besides,
Just Mt present there Is an enormous de-
mand for beef from abroad, and the num-
Der of live cattle being exported will IN
crease from 1000 to 1000 per week.
Just how long this demand will continue
no one car say. Although the supply oil
live stock is up to the average OF last year,
many of the cattle men believe the best cat
tie may increase in price until the high
water mark OF 1882. which was $3.50 per 100
pounds, will have been reached.
In 1882 there were only %, $50, 900 cattle
other than milch cows in the United States.
This number gradually increased until
1892 when there were 81, 65l 600. Since then
the humber of live cattle has decreased I'M
til in a recent report the Department of
Agriculture at Washington placed the
number of cattle now in the United States
at only 2S, 600 900.

For forty-two years George knight,
who murdered his wife in Poland,
Androscoggin County, Maine, in 1855,
has been serving his life sentence in
the State prison at Thomaston. 1t is
q remarkable record, without an equal
in our State, and probably few equals
anywhere. OF all the men who took
a prominent part in the events which
led up to his conviction, he alone is
alive to-day. The Judge that SEN
fenced HIM is dead. His counsel is
dead. The County Attorney and the
Acknowledgement who conducted the
case against him are dead. Dead,
also, are the court officials and nearly
all the jurymen, and yet these men
lived a life of freedom and his has
been passed within prison walls, He
is o eighty-two years old, and is
still in good health and clear OF mind
and eye. He was first sentenced to
death, and we venture the opinion
that he has regretted many times that
this sentence was ever commuted.-
