Jew was a public benefactor. In the

A BALTIMORE paper of few days
ago gave an account of the death at
the age Of 56 years of a resident Of that
city who is said to have been one ofthe
youngest members of the Confederate
army and a special fayorite of General
Robert +. Lee" The article continues:
LAS a mark Of appreciation for his SER
vices and as token OF affection for
him. General Lee presented to the
boy many relics of the civil war includ-
ing revolver and other articles " When
it is remembered that a man 90 years
old now was but seven years old when
the war began and only eleven years
when it closed, the unreliability Of his

HUSBANDS TERRIBLE DEED.

Andrew Federkiel, aged SO, stone
mason, father of seven children and
the step-father Of two, attempted to
burn his wife and four OF his offspring
to death in his story and half brick
dwelling in Sandusky, Ohio, Tuesday
morning about 1870 o'clock, but his
plotting went amiss and he lost his
own life by trying to evade the authori-
ties in flight. Federkiel had been drink
ing and being OF an ugly disposition,
members of his family found it neces-
sary about 9 O'Clock to call the police.
When the officers arrived the man
Quoted down and at Mrs Federkiel's
request he was not locked up. The
family retired late. When the hour
he regarded right for the deed he had
planned was at hand, he quietly arose
and, securing can of gasoline in the
cellar, saturated the entire lower par
OF the house and the stairway leading
from the sleeping apartments.
There was OF course, quick accumu-
lation of gas in the various apartments
and this, coupled with some noise
made by the man in his movements,
aroused Mrs. Federkiel. She opened
her bedroom door to find out what the
trouble was about. Face to face with
her husband the latter picked up a
lighted lamp and threw it at her. The
base broke and the oil flew all over
the woman, but luckily the light was
extinguished when the lamp was
thrown.
Running down stairs, Federkiel
touched match to the saturated furni-
ture and carpets The explosion follow
ing shook the entire house, and the
flames in an instant had shut off all
egress from the structure, aside from
the windows Of the second floor
Frederick himself was not quick enough
to escape the force or the explosion and
was badly burned.
Three of Federkiel's daughters, Eva,
Clara and Louise, and his son Joel,
sDrang from their beds and rushed into
their mothers room, where they found
her in flaming nigbtc!othing. What
was left of her raiment was speedily torn
from her body.
Then the five turned for an avenue of

The firemen quickly subdued the flames
and prevented the destruction OF the
house.
Immediately after he had reason TO
believe that his murderous plan had
been consummated, Federkiel fed to
the yards OF the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern Railway Company, seek
ing a freight train by which to escape
from the city. To all appearances he
found one just pulling out OF the yards
and attempted to boardit In his haste
