He Kills His Father and Allowed Ilis Brother to Hang for It, Saltsburg, Pa., Sept. 26.—No little ex. citement has been occasioned in Wash- ington twp., Indiana county, by the con- fession of John Allison, brother of James G. Allison, who was hanged for the mur- der of his father, Robert Allison, a year ago, that he {John Allison) killed the old man. He says the crime was com- mitted with the object of securing some money that his father was supposed to have hidden in an old chest in the house where the murder was perpetrated. Af- ter the bloody transaction the self-con- f :ssed murderer asserts that the chest was broken open, but the treasure was not found. Allison has been acting very queerly lately, and it is believed that his ghastly secret has made him insane. He has allowed his hair and whiskers to grow very long and shaggy, and he wears no clothes except an old pair of overalls and presents an extremely strange and wild appearance. Allison will be confined and his mental condi- tion inquired into. James G, Allison, who was executed for the murder, was convicted on circumstantial evidence, which was exceedingly direct and strong, but there were many people, at the time of the trial, who thought he was inno- cent. Inthe event of the examination establishing the sanity of John Allison, it is possible the case may be tried over again. pe A Sufferers from the effects of quinine, used #8 a remedy for chills and fever, will appreciate Ayer’s Ague Care, a pow- erful tonic bitters, composed wholly of vegetable substances, without a particle of any noxious drag. Its action is pecu- liar, prompt, and powerful, breaking up the chill, curing the fever and expelling the poison from the system, yet leaving no harmful or unpleasant effect upon the patient. A GUNNER'S GUIDE. Apropos of the approach of the gun~ ning season is the “Paradise for Gunners and Anglers,” a neat little pamphlet is- sued by the Passenger Department of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Co, descriptive of the gunning and fishing resources of the Delaware and Maryland peninsula. The book treats of the game and fish of this section, their haunts and habits, the localities they frequent, and gives extracts from the game laws of the region, and, in fact, all the information a sportsman could desire. It is embellished with engrav- ings of game and fish, and contains an excellent map, showing the water cours es, roads and railways of the section. It is a complete manual for the gunner and angier, who would find his sport in one of the best game-stocked portions of the Atlantic States. The book is distributed gratuitously, and may be procured by addressing James R. Wood, General Pas- senger Agent, Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, Philadelphia. iret etnies By accident a man swallows poison. How frightened he is, How the home antidotes are sent down after it, and in what glowing terms the messenger hur- ries along the doctor. Yet hosts of ex cellent people are dying of poisonous el- ements in their blood. The liver should have removed these, but it is weak and diseased, and so fails of its duly. Do you understand this fact? If so, you will be glad to learn that Dr, Kennedy's Favor- ite Remedy cures liver complaint, oct cs pf AY TERRIBLE FLOODS IN INDIA, Calcutta, Sept, 29.—Disastrous floods covering an area of 3.500 square miles have occurred in the Presidency of Ben- gal. A great amount of property has been destroyed and many lives lost Many families have been made destitute, Houses, crops, cattle, and portable goods of every description, have been carried away by the floods.

They called him a crank “Tut, tut, boys,” said an elderly pas. senger, ‘‘ don't eall a man a crank simply because he has long hair. Let mo tell you a story. I owned a farm many years ago down East. One day I noticed a long-haired man walking about my place in a very queer way. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was just looking about a little. But he was there the next day and the next. Fin- ally I insisted on his telling me what he wanted, and he said : “Well, farmer, there's buried treasure ander your farm, and I've been trying to locate the best place to dig for it. I've found the place, and now I will make a bargain with you. You do the digging and we will divide the treasure equally between us,’ “I agreed, and went to digging where he told me to. I spent all the money I had on earth putting the hole down, notwithstanding that the neighbors all laughed at me and called the man a long-haired crank.” “You were a bigger fool than I took you for,” laughed one of the passengers. “There you go again,” said the old man. “You youngsters judge by ap- pearance and think yon all You" “But you never found any buried treasure, did yon?” “Yes, I did; hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth." “What kind ? “Coal.
