 in oraham County

Advices received from Tbscher in Grahsm county tells of a disastrous holacust in which five children were burned tO death. The dispatch says {:
 "Oa Friday evening Mrs Tempy Colhe-, widow, left her little home on Main street to visit the family of Hon " W Pace where the had gone 10 assist in preparing supper for the farm hands. Before departing from home she put her five children, rang ing from 3 years to F. to bed and locked the door behind her.
 Abou, g o'clock Richard Layton passed Mrs Golfers house and no,ic- ing Asnes within burst open the door, attempting to save the children g, the game time, but the flames drove him away. The crowd which had gathered could do nlthing to save the little ones or anything in the burn. ing building.
 The supp sition is that the boys arose to get s drihs and in lightin g mstchss set fire to paper close by the water bucket. The bodies of the b ly- were found lying near ths door and this gives rise to the theory. The chsrred remains of the girl. were found where the bed had stood"

4 Strange Case.

G. L. Barr of Allegheny and his attor
ney 5. A Wills of Pittsburg were il
town Monday. trying to get something
done in the case of Samuel NJ Barr ot
jefferson twp.
The Pittsburg Dispatch of Sunday
states the case as follows.
The management of the West
Penn Hospital for the Insane at Dix
+ mont, received a severe scoring in Com
mon Pleas Court No ,, yesterday, when
+ the habeas corpus proceeding of Mrs
Mary NJ. Geppert to secure the releas
of her brother, Samuel NJ Barr, was
! called up for disposition.
The case has been pending for two or
three weeks, and Judge John D. Shafer
I has expressed himself that the man
should be released, but Re does not
like to assume jurisdiction until he is
sure there would be no objection to
such an order by Judge John NJ Greer.
of Butler, who committed Barr as an
insane person. 1t is claimed that Barr
had been drinking, and on the petition
of brother-in-law he was sent to Dix
mont. 1t is denied that. he is insane.
At n former hearing Judge Shafer sug-
gested that letter be secured from
Judge Greer that it would be all right
to release Barr This his friends set
out to do.
After it had been reported that Judge
Greer had sent such a letter. Attorney
5. a. VIII, representing the petitioner,
said he telephoned to Dixmont but he
was told that no such letter had been
received. He then sent George L. Barr
to Dixmont to see what Re could learn,
and he was not allowed to see his bro
ther. Lev. McQuiston, Mr.. Wills law
partner at Butler, saw Judge Greer,
and be said he had sent the letter
Postoffice Inspector w. w. Dickson
was then appealed to. He sent ont
tracer and reported that Judge Greer's
letter had been delivered to DR. Hutch
inson. Superintendent of the hospital.
Word was again sent 10 Butler and it
was learned that Judge Greer had re-
ceiyed a reply to his letter in which DR.
Hutchinson said in substance that he
feared if Barr was released he would 20
TO drinking again
Mr. Will said: They are the most
discourteous and unreasona BILE people
down at the hospital ever had anything
to do with. They won't let this mans
sister or brother see him. and his wife
made two trips before she could see him.
The only way his lawyers even, can get
word to and from him is by registered
letter. The law gives us that much
protection.
Judge Shafer expressed the belief that
the man should be released but said the
case might 20 over until tomorrow In
the meantime an effort will be made to
have Judge Greer say to Judge Shafer,
either by letter or wire, that he will
have no objections to the court here as
suming jurisdiction
Mr.. Barr is said to have been arrested,
brought to Butler and placed in Jail,
condemned as insane and taken to Dix
within twenty-one hours
The case should be fully investigated
