CONFESSION OF A MURDER ER.
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.

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.

have removed these, but it is weak and
diseased, and so fails of its duly. Do you

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. The Government
authorities are distributing provisions
and clothing. False Point, which was
thought to be the best harbor between
Calcutta and Bombay, was struck by
pletely that most of the iakadilants pers

There was a long-haired man in the
smoking-ear, and some of the passengers
were making sport of him. 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

“But you never found any buried
treasure, did yon?”
“Yes, I did; hundreds of thousands
of dollars’ worth."
“What kind ?

“Yes, that's what we're here for.”

“Yea, greatly.”
“Well, IT am the reporter who 6Or-
