Samuel Pearz a well known resident
of Washington county, returned to his
home from drive he found his wife
and two children dead and a third
child dying from bullet wounds. Who
fred the shots has not yet been

as the motive. An attempt had also
been made to set fire to the house.
When Pearz drove into the lane
leading to his barn he noticed cloud
of smoke rolling from a bedroom win
dow Leaping from his buggy, he
rushed to the front door, which he
found locked. Going around to the
rear he gained an entrance and upon
reaching the bedroom found upon the
floor the dead body of his wife, Side
by side on the floor a little distance
away lay the little girl and Robert.
He approached the crib at one side of
the room and there found the baby
also dead: 4 heap of combustible ma
terial had been thrown together at
the foot of the bed and this was burn
ing.
Pearz stamped out the fire and sum-
moned neighbors for help in searching
for the murderer, The coroner and pe-
lice were notified, and posse was
formed which is searching the sur
rounding country for a strange negro
reported to have been seen about the
Pearz home.
The tragedy has excited the commu-
nifty to high pitch of anger.

SAGE MONEY FOR CHARITY.
Milllonaire's Physician Says Widow
VIII Distribute It.


New York, July 30-J. Carl Schmuck
of Lawrence, N. Y, who was Russell
Sage's physician, talked freely of Mrs
Sage's plans for disposing of the huge
fortune left to her by her husband. He
said:
in leaving his fortune to Mrs. Sage
Mr. Sage has left it to charity. She
will distribute It, What can she do
but give 1t away? At her advanced
age she could not spend thousandth
part of 1t herself.
"Mr. Sage knew that his wife had
made study of philanthropy and that
she knew much more than he did about
it. He knew that in leaving the bulk
of his vast fortune to her she would
take advantage of this study and dis
tribute the money wisely.
While l do not know Mrs. Sage's
exact plans for beginning her char
liable work, l do know that she has
such plans. and that they are rapidly
maturing. She is closely interested in
many charitable enterprises and her
gifts will be made along broad lines.
Mrs. Sage Is seventy-seven years
old, and while she is in fairly good
health she realizes that she has not a
great many years yet to live, and for
that reason she will start almost imme-
diately the distribution of the millions
left by Mr.. Sage
II can state positively that at the
present time Mrs. Sage has no more
idea of how she is going to distribute
her fortune than you or | have" said
Colonel ]. Germain Slocum, brother of
Mrs. Russell Sage.
Colonel Slocum, who since the death
of Mr.. Sage has been with his sister
at her country place In Lawrence. N.
T., says the widow has given no
thought as to how she will distribute
the vast estate, nor has she made any
comment relative to the will.
AT present and during the rest of
the summer my sister will spend her
time In rest and recreation at Law
renee"

says Former Policeman.
Cleveland, O.. July 30-John Man
gan, an old policeman, who is on the
retired list, refused to seek a $6,000,0 900
estate that is his for the asking.
Mangan was born at Gin, County
Limerick, Ireland His father was
well to do and was able to take care
of his sister and her family. Two ba-
bies ware born under the elder Man
gan's roof on the same day. One was
John, his own child; the other Mary,
his sisters.
In 1849 Mangan's father sold his es-
tate to the father of Lord Kitchener

died In 1851, and the children were sent
to charitable Institutions. What be-
came of their fathers money they
never knew
John Mangan says he did not hear
from Mary Mangan, his cousin, for
years. Then she wrote him that she
had married Sir Thomas Bateman in
London. He got another letter when
Sir Thomas died.
Mangan learned six years ago. he de-
clared, that Lady Mary died intestate,
leaving an estate of $6,000000, and
that the estate would be held in chan
Gerry for time and then If no heirs
appeared would revert to the crown.
Now, when he lis seventy-two years
old, he says he has received notif1ca-
tion that he is the nearest living heir
Of Lady Mary Bateman and that the
money is his If he proves his identity
Perhaps If were young would go
after it, he says. But at my age
honestly am not wildly ambitious to pe
borne down with the cares of wealth.
