THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. AFTER A HUMAN BUTCHER. A Woman Believed to Have Hacked Visor Rlttor to Death. I f Detective Dougherty and a posse of . jo men scoureo me country rounu about the home of Amos Ritter, near Watsontown, in an effort to find the hatchet with which the old man Ritter 1 .t- - . t was murdered a little over a ween ago, Snecu ation is rife as to the identity I for is a well authenticated report out that the authorities suspect a woman of the crime ; but the deed was so brutal that if a woman was guilty of it she must have been actuated by a cruel mania. A shrewd trick of the assassin was the covering of his or her tracks that led from the spot where the old man's body lay. The corpse was found with two handkerchiefs over Us face, in a held from which potatoes had been dug a few days before, hence the soil there- abouts was moist and loamy. Hut there was not a foot print Visible. The murderer, after rifling the victim's clothes, had carefully scratched the soft soil over his shoe marks. He evi dently left the potato patch backward, covering each successive footprint as he went. The old man's shoes were standing between his feet. They had been re moved in the search for the gold that Ritter was believed to have about him. Besides a bullet wound in his heart, there were seven ax or hatchet wounds on top and side of the head, These ran from right to left, and had evidently been administered by the murderer as he stood over his pros trate victim. One of the gashes cut the rmht ear in two, and another laid the cheek open. When he was shot the pistol was held so close that both clothing and skin were burned Ritter, who was 72 yeais old, lived alone in a ramshackle house, and it was cenerally believed that he had money hidden in the house Detective Dougherty, who has been direc.ed by the district attorney to ferret out the murderer, says he has several important clues, and an arrest may follow in a few days. The spot where Ritter was murder ed is within sight of the grave of Nel son E. Wade, who 25 years ago mur tiered Mr. and Mrs. John McBride, near Wilhamsnort. and then carried off the gold and greenbacks that the aged couple had saved. He was hang ed in Williamsport and his body was buried in the corner of a field near the Amos Ritter home, in Delaware township. Eternal Vigilance Is the price of perfect health. Watch carefully the first symptoms of impure blood. Cure boils, pimples, humors and scrofula bv taking Hood's Sarsa- panlla.

Hood's Pills are cathartic and liver reliable, sure. the best family tonic. Gentle, As To Accidents- An analysis of 2,000 accident policies on which benefits were paid shows 531 persons injured by falls on ents, J43 by carriage or wagon, pavements, 75 ty horses' kicks or Dues, 47 uy kicks or bites, 47 uy riding. 117 were cut with edged tools or glasses, 96 were hurt by having weighs fall upon them, '76 were hurt in bicycle accidents and 7 a were hurt from falling down stairs, from which we might infer that there is not much difference as to danger between riding a bicvele or coiner down stairs, and walking is about seven t mes as dan gerous as cycling. Natural Lightning Rods. The tall Lombardy popular has a reputation in some parts of Europe as a kind of natural lightning rod. Investigations recently made by Dr. Hess, in "Switzerland, appear to con firm this reputation of the tree. Its wood is an unusually good conductor of electricity as compared with others, whi b it nrcat hpurht and U1CK 01 spreading branches enable it to con duct a lightning stroke straigiu down ward. In order, however, that a pop lar tree inav serve to protect a build ing, according to Dr. Hess, its foilage should be allowed to grow as near the ground as possible : it should be re- moved not less than six or seven feet from the nearest wall. No metallic objects on the buildinz should be near the tree, and its roots should penetrate a moist soil.
