Thk Effects of Rum A Distressing Case.
Detective Reeder's attention was yesterday
called to a most distressing case of drunken
ness and misery by a woman named Sample,
living on Nnudaln street, above Eighteenth.
This woman has two children, one a little girl of
four years and the other a boy aged two. The
mother has been drunk almost without interval
for weeks past, and, of course, has allowed the
little ones to suffer the most shameful neglect.
Mr. Rceder paid a visit to the house, and there
found the children in an almost Indescribable
condition of filth. They were almost starved,
and from the appearance of the room it would
have been more pultable for a hog-pen than a
habitation for human beings. The drunken
mother was out at the time, and the officer re
moved the children. They have been sent to
the Northern Home for Friendless Children.

Verdict of the Jury In the Pittston
Calamity.
ByecioX Despatch, to The Evening Telegraph,
Pittstoh, May SI. The Coroner s jury la the
case of the recent disaster at the West Pittston
Mine, worked by Blake & Co., rendered a ver
dict this morning. After detailing the facts of
the casualty the jury declares that the mlucrs
met their death from the improper ventilation
of the mine; that when the breaker took fire
there were no means of supplying the men with
fresh air; and that the means of ventilation were
not such as required by the act of March 30,
1870.
It furthermore finds that there was negligence
on the part of employes of the company in not
keeping portions of the machinery properly
oiled; and further, that the company had em
ployed on the day of the accident a greater
number of men than the act already referred to
warrants.
It finds further that Mr. Thomas W. William,
Inspector of Mines, knew of these violations of
the law, but did not protest against them, and
that he has lalled in his duty in not applying to
the courts for an injunction against the ope
rators. FROM WASHLYGIOJV.

mingling his threats with the most nuseemly
oaths, aud saying that she should either wed him
or die.
It became evident now that Hunter's plan was
to assume insanity, and he at once began to play
tbls rart as a closing scene in the dire tragedy.
A mother lay dead bathed in her blood, a father
was mortally wounded, a son was rendered wild
and Insane from a shot, and the author of all
this crime now began to enact the role ot

throng, calling himself a murderer, and extend'
log bis blood-stained hand to all he met. "Shake
hands with me," said be; "see how it seems to
shake the band of a murderer." "I was deter
mined to kill or marry her." "if you don
shake hands with me I'll shoot you." "Hurrak
for a murderer." With these aad other cries ha
staggered abont the streets, compelling every
one to shake hands with hint, and finally wan
dared back to th house wnsre lay tho dead
mother and the wonnded father.
Herein front of Mr. Garrett's house a man
from tbe crowd slipped behind the murderer
and threw him to the ground. An instant later
he was bound, the revolver wrsiched from his
hand, and all power of doing harm taken from
mm.
Tbe excitement existing among the crowd was
Intense, and a strong disposition was manifested
to hang the murderer at once without trial.
ine friends oi law ana order, however, prevail
ed, and Hnnter was placed In confinement to
await a judgment tor his crimes. The Doctor
arrived yesterday during the forenoon. The
fate cf the son depends more upon his own con
duct than anything else. If he can be kept
quici ana caim, ne win prooamy recover, i ne
father has a bullet in his brain, and may live
some days, thongh there is every probability
that the shadows of death will thicken about
him before long.
liunter was taken to Akron, to be confined In
jail. On the way be conversed freely with his
guardians, stating that he did wrong to shoot
the father and mother, and only intended to kill
tbe daughter.
Tbe family of Mr. Gargett had resided for many
years in We6t Kichlield, where the crime was
perpetrated. They had here amassed quite a
fortune, and lived content, enjoying the esteem
of all their neighbors, who now mourn the loss
death has made among them. Hunter was of
Michigan, and says he is of a highly respectable
family.

This madioina. invented and nnintmil
Dr. J. II. Schenek, of Philadelphia, is provef"
to be the bast remedy for dyspepsia, and all
disorders of tho digestive organs, that has everV
been offered to tho public The great suotessVV
find nnrml.ritv nf Yir R.lianaV'a "Pi-iTmtiti. N
Syrup are sufficient to recommend this Tonio
to public favor aud confidence. It was
originally designed to be nsed in conaectloa
with tbe Pulmonio Syrup in the treatment of
consumption, bat experienee proves that it Li '
adapted to all cases of indigestion and debility.
The Seaweed Tonio possesses all the strength
ening properties of iodide cf iron, iodine, or
iodide of potassium. It is also similar inf
nature to the esstrio juice, the fluid whishx
... - .
nature provides to carry on the process of di
gestion, and when that fluid is defioient, tha
Tonio supplies its plaes. It is the only
medicine which can ansvsr this purpose, and,
consequently, it ia tha only medieine wkioh
can cure dyspepsia. Other preparations, how
ever they may seem to afford temporary re
lief, never fail to aggravate tha disease. This
must necessarily be tha ease when corrosiv
acids and minerals arc used to - oar
indigestion; and such are tha rmdig wkioh
physicians generally prescribe for that objsot.
The (Seaweed Tonio aontaias no snoh inja
rions drags. It ia distilled from a -vegetable
fcubstance, which ia produced im great abui
dance on tha seashore, the moda of distilla
tion being similar to that whioh is used in
the manufacture of amaica spirits. This
Tonio never disagree with tha most delicate
stomach. In the eirly stags of consumption
this medicine is generally of great utility, as
consumption oten begins with disorder of
the stomach snd general debility, for whiob
Bchenck's Seaweed Tonio ia a certain remedy..
