HUSBANDS TERRIBLE DEED.

Andrew Federkiel, aged 50, stone
mason, father Of seven children and
the stcp-fathcr 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 80 o'clock, but his
plotting went amiss and he lost his
own life by trying to cvade the authori-
ties in flight. Federkel 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
quietcd down and at Mrs Fedcrkiel'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 4 can Of gasoline in the
cellar, saturated the entire lower part
OF the house and the stairway leading
from the sleeping apartments.
There was Of course, quick accumu-

and this, coupled with some noise
made bv the man in his movements,
aroused Mrs. Fcderkiel. She opened
her bedroom door to find out what the
trouble was about. Face to face with
her husband the latter picked up Il
lighted lamp and threw it at her. Tho
base broke and the oil flew all over
the woman, but luckily the light was
extnguishcd when the lamp was
thrown.
Running down stairs, Fcderkicl
touched match TO the saturated furni
turc 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 Fcderkicl's daughters, Eva,
Clara and Louise, and his son Joel,
sprang from their beds and rushed into
their mothers room, where they found
her in flaming nightclothing. What
was left of her raiment was speedily torn
from her body.
Then the five turned for an avenue of
escape The son jumped from the
window Of q rear room to the kitchen
roof, and thence to the ground, I'M
injured. The mother and daughters
jumped from the windows in the front
OF the house Mrs Federkiel weighs
$50 pounds, and, in addition to her
burns, received serious internal injuries.
The daughters, Eva and Clara, were
seriously burned, and Louise was some
what injured by falling when she jump
ed from a window Of the blazing house.
The firemcn 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 fled 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
lie probable slipped and fell under the
wheels. The result was that he was
ground to pieces.

Indianapolis, Ind, January S.-What
might happen in Indiana if President
Taft should attempt to punish Senator
Albert jeremiah Beverage for his OPP
position to the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
or to any meausre in which the presi-
dent might take a violent interest has
opened up a highly entertaining line
OF speculation among party leaders.
Senator Beveridge's lieutenants have
passed the word out to the faithful
that there is no occasion for alarm be-
cause of threats made against the in
surgents that they may be deprived of
their patronage if they make a fuss
against the legislative program the
president has in mind.
The horde of the faithful that nearly
threw fatal spasms when it was init
mated that Senator Beveridge might
be placed on the presidential blacklist
has been assured that all is well and
that none of Senator Beveridge's re-
concentrations will be held up.
This is taken to mean that the presi-
dent and Senator Beveridge have come
to an understanding and that the pres
ident is not goig 10 hold it against the
latter because he would not vote for
the Payne-Aldrich bill A few weeks
ago, when President Tart poured
broadside into the insurgents in his
Winona speech there was a howl from
one end of Indiana to the other that

ministration to sit up suddenly and
take notice.

that there is no likelihood of a split

Dr. John w. GoodseIl, who was sur
geon of the Peary expedition to the
North Pole, was born in Leechhurg.
Pa, Jan. 10, 1873. Although his Jour
ney to the Arctic region was his first
sea trip, his fondness for travel and
adventure was natural, as his father
spent many years on whaling vessels
and later was an officer on a mail
steamer plying to ports in the Indian
ocean. The younger Goodsell received
his professional education at a medical
college in Cincinnati. After his grad
uation in 1898 he established himself
at New Kensington, Pa. He soon at
tanned prominence in his profession
and at the age of thirty was elected
president of the Allegheny Valley Med

In joining the Peary expedition was to
