MANIAC MURDERER.

A black-bsarded maniac, 10 Q black
sIouch hat, drew 40 automatic pistol yes-
terday afternoon aud fred Eve shots into
a crowd of hsrlem, N. Y, school boys
who had been tauntlng him. Robert
Lomss, 6 years old, was shot through
the heart aud died instantly, Arthur
5hibIey, also 6 years cid, was shot
through the lett lung, and was taken to
a hospital critically wounded.
The msu whom none OF the frighten-
ed youngsters can describe accurately,
shsmbled of into the bushes and rocks
surrounding the boys playground, and
was 5000 lost to sight. One hundred
and fifty policemen and posse OF citi-
seps are hunting for hin.
Halt q hundred children i1st freed
from school we're coaStipg 10 the woods,
while group Of grown ops stood watch
ing the sport. Among them were the
man with the black beard. He drew
away from the crowd and edged up
the side of the hill. Just then down
came little Arthur Shibley on his sled,
whoopiug caution to people on foot.
His sled halted on bare spot, and as
he stood up the madman whipped out
his pistol and fired.
The boy shrieked snd fell. In the
subsequent excitement everybody ap.
pareuIly thought of the boy and nobody
Of the mau, for he ran of ncrthWard
unpursued. II Was some moments be-
fore a policeman arrived, and q small
boy tugged him by the skirts OF his
coat.
"He's up there" gasped the boy,
''and he's snCt another boy"
On the edge of the woods they found
young Lomss dead.
The agreement of dozen scattered
descriptions convinces the police that
they have to do with the same unknown
humicdal msuisc who four nights ago
shot down John FrsderIcks 10 the same
neigbborhOod.
Fredericks, who is printer, was 70.

The steamer left Msrshi cid In q gale.
Tremendous seas were breaking over the

had gathered to watch the departure OF
the boat, were startled to see the Czsrins
sweep toward the north spit. The en-.
giues apparently were disabled. The
heavy seas seemed almost to envelop the
steamer, and she driited rapidly on
the spit, at point about mile above
the jetty.
The disabled vessel pounded heavily
while great waves swept over her. The
