Strange Facts Connected With the
Killing of a York Mechanic.
York, Pa., Jan. 17. John
Koehm, mechanic, was discovered
by his wife sitting i.i a chair in an
upsatirs room of his house last
evening with his clothes burninir,
On attempting to exstinguish the
fire she found that her husband
was dead. Investigation showed
that he had been shot through the
heart, and that the shot had set
tire to the clothing. How he w as
Bhot is yet a mystery. His wife
was downstairs and did not hear
the report. A shotgun stood in an
adjoining room, and fresh burnt
powder at the muzzle showed that
it had been used.
Another strange feature is that a
rifle cartridge complete an unex-
ploded was taken from the man's
body. The deceased leaves a wife
and nine children, one only four
days old.

'Why,' said Van VTyck.astonished,
' you dun t mean to say that hand

CUT OFF SHORT.
Fate of a Solicitor Who Interrupted
Horace Greeley.
Kansas City Journal.
Chauncey M. Depew recently told
the following good story concerning
Horace Greeley:
To interrupt Horace Greeley when
he was in the throes of bringing forth
an editorial an editorial which has
never been equaled in the journalism
of America an editorial which was
a slogan for his party, a thunderbolt
for his foes was a danger which no
friend, no enemy, none but a fool,
dared to encounter. I was once in
his editorial sanctum when the tool
was there. To relieve your appre
hensions, I was not the fool. But he
was one of those itinerant and persis
tent gtn.lemen with a subscription
book. He kept presenting it while
old Horace was writing aa most of
you remember, with hia pen away np
to his chin, like this (illustrating),
aud Horace had a habit when any one
would interfere of kicking, and so he
kicked at the subscription fiend.
Finally, when he saw he could not get
rid of the iutruder by this means, he
stopped in the middle of a sentence.
turned around, and said raspingly ia
that shrill voice of his:
"What do you want? State it quick,
and state it in the fewest possible
words."
"Well," said the subscription fiend.
"I want a suoscription, Mr. Greeley,
to prevent thousands of my fellow
human boings from going to hell."
JSiiid Mr. Lirccley: "I won't give
jou a cent. There don't half

A MOTHER'S TERRIBLE DEED.
She Shoots Her Three Little Cb.il
' dren and Takes Poison.
St. Pcl, Jan. 16. A Faribault,
Minn., special to the Pioneer-Press
say 8: One of the mojt shocking
tragedies that ever occurred in this
county took place this morning at the
residence of James McNeil, near Can
non Lake. McNeil arose about 5
o'clock and went into the kitchen to
build a fire. Mrs. McNeil slipped out
after him and locked the door, then
went back into the bedroom, took a
revolver from the bureau drawer and
shot three of her children. McNeil
heard the shots and tried to g to the
bedroom, but could not get in. He
then sUrted around the house and
went in the front door and met his
wife coming from the kitchen, where
she had chased tke oldest child and
made her take carbolic acid and took
some herself. The little girl evidently
struggle 1 very hard with her mother,
as her face and hands were covered
with the acid. One child was killed
nstantly and one died about 10 o'clock
this morning. The little baby, three
weeks old, was shot through both
lungs, bat at last reports was still
alive. The woman and the little girl
to whom she gave the cid are also
alive and may live. Mrs. McNeil
gives as the reason for the terrible
deed that she had been sick and had
no hope of gettiug well, and wanted
to end her sufferings ai mice. Mrs.
McNeil is a daughter ui Edward Sol
lister, of Hopkins station. Dr. Jack
son, the attending physician, says un
less iuflamation ot the stomach sets in,
thswjman anl litt e girl will prob
ably live.
FROM OLVMl'IA.
The Bill for Hill's Code i'assed the
House by Two Votes.
Olympia, Wash., Jan, 16. The
house debated a long time to-day on
the Hill code proposition. There was
red hot opposition, charges being
freely and indiscriminately made that
there was a "niger in the woodpile,"
and his name was the Bancroft-Whitney
com r any, of San Francisco. It
is notorious that a lobbyist ot that
concern has been here working for the
proposition for weeks. The bill
nevertheless passed by two votes.
though the emergency clause tailed.
The bill will probably pass the senate
and become a law.
In the senate a number of bills of
no great importance passed.
