quehanna and Western railroad, a

feature of the incident appearing then
was that in the woman's clenched

Seven hours later, when the body
had been taken to the ,morgue at

bleeding frem four bullet wounds.

man had been murdered and she her.

work on one of the strangest mys-
teries Of recent years.
A closer examination Of the body
showed bullet wound through the
mothers heart which hitherto had
been concealed by the managing of
the train. The daughter added the In
formation that the 5000 in German
money was only the remainder of So

Residence Streets Dry.

Many of the residents out on some
of the streets where the water wagon
has been performing every day are
very much distressed at an order call
ing the water wagon to the business
streets only. This is the result of the
action of the water company in trying
to conserve the water supply until the
rains have guaranteed a sufficient
water service to run the city. In the
meantime the residents will have to
depend on the rains to keep the dust
down.

BLOWS UP HOGS.
Dynamite Intended for Night
Riders Goes Off.

Lexington, KY, Sept. 14.-The
dynamite plant which George l..
Grady, a prominent antiquity
farmer who lives near Versailles,
had planted near his tobacco barn to
blow up night riders, was accident
ally exploded a few days ago and
killed seven Of Mr.. Graddy's hogs.
Last spring Mr.. Graddy's barn
was burned by a party of night
riders on account of his having an
nounced that he intended to raise a
crop of tobacco in defiance of the
Society of Equity ukase, Notwith-
standing the destruction of his barn.
Mr.. Grady planted a big crop of
tobacco and to protect the new barn
which he built, Mr.. Barnett says
that Mr.. Grady planted dynamite
mines in the lot surrounding the
barn, the mines being connected by
wires which were so arranged as to
discharge the explosives when they
were collided with.
In order to prevent injury to in
nocent persons Mr.. Grady recent
ly inserted notices in the papers
warning all persons against coming
on his farm unless accompanied by
himself or his foreman. A few days
ago Mr.. Barnett says a drove Of
hogs belonging to Mr.. Grady got
into the lot and in roofing around
struck the buried wires and dis
charged the dynamite. A tremen-
dous explosion ensued and seven of
the hog were blown to pieces. Sew
several others in the drove Of hogs
were also manned by the conclusion.
Mr.. Barnett stated that Mr.. Grady
grew about seventy acres of tobacco
this year, L. H. tombstone about
eighty-five acres and Barnett, him
self, about ten acres in Woodford,
Barnett said his barn adjoins that of
Mr.. tombstone and that both he and
tombstone have already cut part of
their crops, which are good ones.

New York, Sept. 16.-M'lle Atom,
smallest of Griffon dogs, which
weighs rs ounces, has been sold for
a price generally understood among
fanciers to have been $40 an ounce.
She is the smallest 81 900 worth of
dog ever seen in this country and so
far as is known nothing so tiny of
that breed has ever been seen in the
world. The record for littleness has
been held until her advent by a
Griffon weighing three pounds.
Mile Atom was purchased by Mrs.
John 7. Windrim, whose husband is
a prominent architect in Philadel-
phia. The little creature was found
in a village near Brussels. Her
parents were both prize winners in
dog shows in Paris and Brussels.
Mile Atom is five inches long and
four inches high. She has long hair.
The color of her coat is red, with a
darker tint on the back. The eyes
are large and very expressive and
the face is inclined to roundness.
