KILLED THE OLD WATcHMAN.
West Indian Negro confesses Murder
of John Thomas.

Philadelphia, April II. - The mys.
terry surrounding the murder Of John
Thomas, the aged night watchman at
the Houston club Of the University CT
Pennsylvania Sunday evening was
cleared up by the arrest and confes'
sion of Lawrence Gibson, alias John
Oakley, who was for a number of
years employed as a utility man at
Houston hall. Gibson is a West In
dian negro
Gibson was arrested at his homs
early in the day and denied all knowl.
edge of the crime until late in the aft
ernoon when he broke down and con-
fessed to the murder
Gibson says he went to Houston hall
to call on Thomas. The watchman,
Gibson says, evidently mistook him
for a THIEF and attacked him. In the
struggle he unintentionally killed the
old man.
The police do not believe the story.
Superintendent of Police Quirk is of
the opinion that revenge for being dis.
missed from Houston hall was the
motive for the murder. Gibson, whose
complexion is so light that he easily
passed as a white man, misrepTesent-
ed himself as a student at the univer-
sity and married young white woman
three weeks ago.
When the deception was disCov-
cred he was discharged from Houston
hall How he expected to get revenge
and his reason for attacking the
watchman, the police decline to say.
The authorities said that Gibson is
wanted in Jamaica for some offense.

and. after many exciting adventures. sue
ceeded in reaching United States territory.
His next exploit was a journalistic one.
Cuba was in revolt, and an American news
paper entrusted Mr.. O'Kelly with the PERIL
task of penetrating the insurgent lines
In order 10 gather at first hand the reasons
for the insurIection. The Spanish nihtary
authorities IN the island were polite but
firm. They intlmated 10 the correspondent
that If they captured him I'm attempting 10
join the enemy they would have him shot.
This did not deter Mr.. O'Kelly from maxi
ing the attempt and ultimately he succeeded.
On his return he was taken prisoner by the
Spaniards and thrown into dungeon
Threats and cajOlery were applied with the
object of inducing him TO betray the mill
tary disposition of the insurgents. but he
remained resolutely silent. Eventually he
was sent a prisoner TO Spain. and there
his friends were able 10 obtain his release.
But Mr.. O'Kellys adventures were not
yet over. He accompanied the United
States troops in their campaign against
the redoubtable Sitting Bull, and he saved
the life of the Emperor of Brazil In a coll
lision off Rio Janeiro. In the early days OF
the Soudan trouble again he made bold
but unsuccessful attempt 20 reach tho
Mahdi, with the idea of interviewing that
remarkable parsonage for the benefit OF a
London newspaper.

sembling the figure of human being. This
portion which very evidently differed In its
quality and texture from all the other ice
about-the ice of the figure being clear and
hard, and that about ii impure and soft
was accurately bounded by a line OF opaque
ice more white than in any other part.
The phenomenon led to a further investiga-
ton, and upon breaking through the figure
the body OF a poor travelling peddler was
discovered about five feet below the surface,
fast in the mud, from which most proba-
bly, il never had risen, it exhibited no
signs whatever of putridity. Various
causes have been given for this singular
phenomenon and DR.. George Cayley gives
this explanations: Every one must have
observed that in all muddy ponds there
is a continual ascent of bubbles of impure
air, arising from the decomposition of the
matter at the bottom of them. Now, 1t is
evident that if any convex body rested on
the mud all the pond would be sub
jected to the passage of these bubbles ex-
cept that part of ii Immediately above the
body the ice of which would thus involve
no particles of air, while that of other parts
would be full of them In this way he
accounts for the greater whiteness of the
ice which bounded the figure, by supposing
that those air bubbles which were able TO
make their way from beneath the sides of
the body arose in an accumulated stream,
and he explains the absence of snow upon
the figure by supposing it to nave been
better conductor of caloric than the more
porous ice about it.
