When Detected in Act of Rob-
bling Them.

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-Impelled by
cupidity, Harry Fisher, 80 years old,
early Friday entered the home of his
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Shearer, in the
northeastern section of the city, and,
detected in an effort to steal $1,000
she had in the house, he shot and
killed her and her husband, Joseph
Shearer. His sister died instantly and
his brother-in-law died on the way to
hospital. They had been married
but month, and the money was to
have been used in tie purchase of a
home.
While the police were searching for
the perpetrator of the crime, Harry
Fisher, dissolute brother of the dead
woman, walked into the house with
blood streaming from a wound in the
breast which he had inflicted upon
himself. He denounced himself as the
assassin and confessed that robbery
was his motive. He may recover.
Fisher died in the afternoon. Be-
fore he became unconscious Fisher
said Shearer had broken up his home
and this was the cause of the crime
No credence is given this explanation
by the friends of the Shearers.

pose Of the journey. So positive have
been Judge Parker's expressions of in

OF his journey Friday assumed that it
involved matters of great Importance.
This much was not denied at Rose
mount.

at once to a restaurant for lunch.
After that he walked to the capitol and

A new record in railroad travelling
has been established by the Great
Western railroad of Great Britain. Re.
Gently a regular nonstop daily train
service was established between the
London terminus at Paddington and
Plymouth. The distance is 246 miles,
and the Cornishman Limited Express
is scheduled to cover the journey in
each direction in 265 minutes without
a single stop. This supplies an aver
age speed of $3.50 miles for the jour
ney. This, therefore, constitutes the
longest nonstop railroad run in the
world. sss S.
