A DOUBLE MUBDERI Two Farmers Killed by Their Brother, Near Pottsville, L'JV. The Fralraln-I«iv- He Wat finally Captured alter u Fierce Struggle. Pottsville, Pa., Nov. 3. —Worker! In to a frenzy as a result of an alterca tion with one of his brothers, Benja min Franklin Weissinger, living 011 a farm several miles from this city, on Monday afternoon shot and killed his two brothers, attempted to kill his sister and a sister-in-law, and held a large posse of policemen at bay for nine hours before he was cap tured. The tragedy occurred on the farm of the father of the men. The dead men are Louis Weissinger, aged 27 years, single, and Frederick, who leaves a widow. The fractricide is 45 years old. Benjamin and Frederick had a quar rel early in the afternoon over the cleaning of a horse. During the al tercation Benjamin fired four shots at Fred without any of them taking effect. Frederick lied to the attic of the farmhouse and was followed into the house by the enraged brother. The latter secured H Winchester re peating rifle and as he was leaving the house he encountered another brother, Louis, at the kitchen door. Without a word of warning Benjamin fired at Louis, the bullet striking hint in the side. The victim died in half an hour without uttering a word. The murderer then walked down a path and caught a glimpse of Fred erick, who was looking out of the at tic window. Benjamin quickly raised his rifle and fired. The bullet entered Frederick's cheek and penetrated thu brain. He fell dead across the win dow sill. His wife, who had gone to the attic with him, attempted to drag the body into the room. She succeed ed in this, but not before Benjamin had fired several shots at tier without effect. The double murderer's atten tion was then attracted to his sister. Mary, who had come out of the lious# i to persuade him from doing any mors shooting. She persisted so strongly that he turned his rifle upon her and fired twice, but his aim was bad. The young woman escaped into the house Having realized what he had done and fearing arrest, Benjamin decided to barricade himself in the barn. Ho j went into the house, secured a shot- , gun, several revolvers and ammuni- j tion and then took up his position in the barn. The women of the house notified neighbors who, in turn, sum moned police assistance from this city. Every attempt the authorities made to approach the barn was met with several shots from Weissinger, and reinforcements were sent for. j Towards evening, after a parley with the murderer, he permitted David Wertz and Samuel Lovett, farm ! hands, to enter the barn and feed the horses and cattle. Weissinger in the meantime kept the men covered with his firearms. When Shi-riff Smith appeared on the scene a ruse was planned to cap ture the man. Another parley was held with the murderer and ho agreed to let two farm hands bring him his supper. These men were in structed to watch their opportunity, seize him by the arms and shout, which would be the signal for the deputies to rush in. This they did and a terrible struggle took place. '1 he murderer is a powerful man, but the force of numbers was too much for him and he was tied hand and foot before he could further use his weap ons. He was brought to this city and will be given a hearing after the funeral of his brothers. Weissinger is believed to be insane. He had nothing to say regarding the tragedy except that he exclaimed: "1 am bewitched." DASHED INTO A CURVE. A Trolley Car I* Wrecked—One Hall Killed and Several Injured. Cincinnati, Nov. 3. —Car No. 32, of the Cincinnati, Dayton &, Toledo trac tion line, due in this city at 112:15 Mon day morning, was split open like an egg shell at. Hamilton avenue and the Old College railroad junction shortly after 12. One man was killed almost instantly, another's hand was cut oil cleanly at the wrist, and ten others were more or less seriously injured. it had been raining, and dead leaves crushed upon the rails caused the car, which was going at a moderate rate of speed, to slide before reaching the abrupt curve at the junction, and Motorman Burt Johnson lost control of it. It flashed into the curve, veer ed, and striking the iron trolley pole, was cut in two. An unknown man was standing on the rear plat form when the crash came and was hurled with territic force to the grounu. llis head struck the iron post, crushing his skull and completely cutting off the left side of his face. Death was instantaneous. Charles W. Shafer, of Cincinnati, was hurled from the car and, as it fell, its framework cut his left hand off cleanly above the wrist. Voted In Favor of a Strike. Chicago, Nov. 7. —By a vote of 1,024 to 153 the employes of the Chicago City Railway Co. have endorsed a strike, if necessary to enforce the de mands of their union. The joint board of affiliated locals, representing all the employes of the street car com pany, will meet tonight to consider the vote and fhial action on whether or not a strike shall be called will bo taken. Unless some concessions are made by the street ear company before that time it seems impossible to avoid a general strike. A dome Call. New York, Nov. 3.—A great fatality was narrowly averted here Monday when an engine jumped the track on the approach to the Second avenue kridge over the Harlem river and crashed into the rear car of an ele vated train, derailing it and all but pushing it from the bridge to the surface 50 feet below. Luckily the engine was running at so slow a speed that the guard rails kept the car with its load of passengers from fall ing from the bridge and the collision damaged the car but slightly and in jurvd no one.

The merchant sent to the cook a draft for sufficient money to pay his expenses out to Asia, and the cook gave up liis job and «tarted for his brother's home. The inter ring thing about the whole incident is the letter, written by tiie wealthy merchant, which accompanied the draft. In tiie first place the draft was made pay able in New \ork. "1 send you the money in a draft payable n New York," wrote the brother from far off Asia "You can go overand get it cashed there. On the way 1 wish you would stopat Texa* and see brother Thomas. I haven't heard from him for two years now, and I'd like to know how he's getting along." Eatrrprlae aad Caution. "1 shall get there," quoth Enterprise, eontidently "Where?" asked Caution.

The Tenelier Won. Ilinton, Ky., Nov. 2.—For over two years, two of the best physicians in this part of th« State have been treating Mr. E.J.Thomp son, a popular local school teacher, for Dia< betes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:— "They saved me when the doctors held out no hope. I took, in all, about ten boxes. 1 will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills foi the great good they have done for me." Many people, and some physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an in curable disease. Our teacher, Mr. Thomp son, says it is curable, for Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after two good physicians had treated him for two years without suc cess. A remedy that will cure Diabetes will sure : ly cure any case of Kidney Trouble. Good manners are at a discount nowa days. It is fashionable to be "snippy."
