said TO his wife before leaving.
The family of Dir. Brandt offer re-
ward Of $500 for Hoffman's capture.
Just before killing his fatber-in.law he
purchased fifty rounds of cartridges.
Hoffman Is q good marksman, and the
officers believe he was driven to reckless
ness by whiskey and his imaginary
troubles. Before he murdered Brandt
he told Hermon Papes: "In one hour
therefwill be q warrant out for me. But

Hoffman's wife says that as he left he
declared: III must kill two more people,
then myself. If the sheriff or his depu-
ties try to arrest me must also kill
them."
1t is supposed that Hoffman's motive
for killing his father-in-law was that the
old gentleman refused to increase his
weekly allowance.

Killed His Own Grandson.

Lancaster, September 11.-A heart
rending tragedy was enacted this morn
ing about 8 O'Clock, across the river in
Chester county, in which prominent
Lancastrian was the principal actor.
Yesterday afternoon Major j. NJ. Rid
die, one of the proprietors of the Lam
caster Review, accompanied by his son,
j. M. Riddle, Jr., and his little grandson,
Robert Mackorell, of Yorkville, lad
about 8 years old, went over to Chester
county on squirrel hunt.
While hunting on the river bank this
morning Major Riddle fired on what he
supposed to be a squirrel in the bushes,
but, on approaching the object of his
aim, he discovered to his horror his
grandson in the agony of death, the un-
fortunate little fellow having received
the entire load.
When Major Riddle reached him the
boy exclaimed: "Grandpa, you have
shot me-" Picking the lad up in his
arms Major Riddle rushed to spring
nearby to wash the blood off the wound,
but the child died in the grandfather's
arms on the way to the spring.
The body was brought here to-day on
the Lancaster and Chester midday train
and will be buried tomorrow. AS to be
expected, the grandfather aud other
members of the family are overwhelmed
with grief.
