disposition made by him oil his
property, which was estimated at
some $40, 900. As he had no chill

widow, he left $1,000 to each OF his
three sisters, and the balance to
his brother. The sisters are all
married and very comfortably pro-
vided for, yet they are greatly eX-
ercised by what they considered
undue impartiality, and hold that
all should have shared equally in
the division of the estate.
Since the above was in type we
have been informed the widow will
elect to take her thirds as per
mitted by the law. This will he

A MURDER
HORROR.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, April 0.-The
little town of Parsons, this county,
was the scene of considerable excite
ment today. At an early hour this
morning one of its prominent citizens
was murdered in cold blood.
The victim was Adam Rhoads.
The murdered man, with friend
named Matthew Cooper, spent last
evening in WilkeSbarre, where they
were the guests at an installation or
lodge officers. Both returned to
Parsons at midnight. ~ little way
from the depot in the town they
parted company, Rhoads going in
the direction of his home and Cooper
to his residence.
The men had hardly separated
when Cooper heard Rhoads cry for
hep. Running to where he was
standing, he saw tall man, with his
hat pulled over his eyes, running
away. Rhoads had fallen to the
ground and was unconscious When
Cooper attempted to pick him up he

Cooper ran hastily to the Office of DE-

physician arrived, however, the man
was dead. lie had been stabbed in
the throat and the ingular vein had
been almost severed.
The murdered man was removed to
his home at once, and the Coroner
notified. The latter will institute a
thorough Investigation. From Coop
er's description of the murderer he
was a foreigner. 1t is thought the
assassin lay in wait for the victim, in
tending to rob him. Rhoads proha-
bly, resisted and was then stabbed.

comprehensive than anything that
