STEADILY FAILING, Judge Kelley Will Probably Appear No More in Congress WasHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Dr. Stanton. the physician attending Judge Kelley, said of his patient: “He is a very sick man, and will have to be carefully watched. fear that there is a very small chance of his being at the capitol this week.’ Judge Kelley has probably been on the floor of the house for the inst time, Since the day congress assembled he has net been in his seat more than two or three times. : Judge Kelley has been suffering for five years from an irritation on the in- side of the right lower jaw, caused by an incessant use of tolacco. The affected parts showing indications of a malignant tendency caused some appre- hension on the part of the judge and led him to consult the most eminent physicians in Washington. Philadelphia and New York. They did not encour- age him, however, to undergo a surgical operation, but were disposed to rely upon medical treatment. This proving unsatisfactory, the afflicted representa- tive determined to go to Paris, and there, after consultations with the most skillful surge ns, underwent the severe operation of removing the inflamed paris, For two yea PEW AS BG regurronos of the troutl. und it was posed that the threatened disease had been eraddis cated. Lastspring the irritation showed signs of reappearance, and with the dif. ficulty in eating the judge's health be came so much impaired that he went to the seashore in the hop: of finding relief. Here he became more feeble, Since his arrival in Washington Judge Kelley has been steadily failing, He made several visits to the house prior to the Christmas recess, but only to remain a short time, leaving very much exhausted by the exertion. Dur- ing this time he has been kept up by stimulants and tonics with his meals. Within the past two weeks he has been obliged to remain in his rooms and have his meals Sent to him when able to eat, Ri 1 sii Jail Breakers at Large. WiLkessarne, Pa., Jan. 7.—~Thomas Conway and Michael Paterson, two members of a gang of six burglars, who were arrested at Freeland, this county, a short time ago. and confined in the Luze county prison, broke jail some time during the night. They occupied a double cell, the ceiling of which cone sists of two slate slabs. With pieces of fron torn from their bedsteads they worked in the crevice between the slabs, making an opening large enough to let them through. They passed into the ventilator upon the roof, which they broke through and then let themselves down to the ground outside by means of & rope made of their bed clothes, Warden Brockway offers a reward of $200 for the arrest ard return of both, or $100 for one. cscs ——_ . A Fatal Mall Train. « JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Jan. 7.-—The mail train west bound on the Pennsylvania railroad killed two men at Tyrone last night, one of them being the train dis- cher. The other has not been iden. fled. They were walking on the track when struck. At Ben's creek, sbout twelve miles east of here, the train also struck and instsntly killed two men, supposed to be Hungarians in the em- loy of the railroad. They. stepped in ront of the engine and were terribly mangled. The train was stopped, the bodies taken aboard and Oth to this lace, where they now lay awaiting entification. Two miles further down the road from here the train struck an omnibus, which runs between Johns- town and Morrellville, and almost killed A Mother's Anguish. WiLLsaAMsPORT, Pa.

Some Peculiar Features of the Case Which Make Mystery More Mysterious The Fablic Prosecutor Instructs the Examining Physicians Net to Talk of Their Discoveries~Queer Tactics for Burglars. TreNTON, Jan, 6.—A pall of mystery envelops the Kniffin murder case. Ex. citenient and interest have increased steadily since murdered Mrs, Kniffin was discovered in her bed in her hus Band's home until public feeling has reached a point rarely if ever before stteined in this old town. No progress has been made towards the solution of the occurrence. The police are at a Joss what to do, and while putting on as serious faces as the importance of this most foul murder warrants have practi- cally made no headway at all and no arrests have been made. Miss Emma Purcell, the pretty type- writer who was found lying on the floor not many feet trom the dead body of her murdered cousin, is still at the Kniffin house and has fully recovered, The is the only person whose move- ments have been restricted {o any ex- tent. A tall policeman stands guard in front of the residence of Dr. Kniffin, and he has been instructed not to allow Miss Purcell to leave the house. County Physician Charles B. Leavitt, who made the post mortem examina tion, was assisted by Dr. Wadbury Cole- man, of this city. Three members of the coroner's jury were also pgesent. The doctors made a mostgthorough examination, but failed to discover evi- dence of any other violence than the use of chloroform, and found the system of Mrs. Kniffin in an otherwise healthy condition, One of the peculiar features of the case is the fact that so far as can be ascertained Miss Purcell did not suffer at all from nausea, which is the usual effects of chloroform poisoning, THE LATEST SENSATION.

The noise made by the retching at. tracted the attention of his brother-in- law, Roscoe Murphy, who was in the next room. He thought some one had been taken ill, and started to investi- te. He found the doctor lying un- ed oa th bed in the room where the murder had been committed. The front of his night shirt was covered with blood. He was still conscious, “To End My Wretched Life.” “What have you been trying to do, Arthur? asked Murphy. i ing to end my wretched life,” said iffin, The household was aroused, and Dre, Shepherd and Cooper at once sent for and a messenger at once dispatched to the home of Patterson on Mer cer street.
