TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

TRIFLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Husband Kills Hit Wife and Child. Com Cem
mlU Suicide, and Leaves Twe Children te
Starve and Freeze te Death.
A terrible tragedy was developed in the
village of Bainlmdgc, Ceney township, ou
Saturday, though it had been enacted sev
eral days previously.
Levi Lane and his family, for two or
three months past, occupied an almost un
tenantable shanty in the village of Bain
bridge. As none of the family were seen by
the neighbeis since Monday last, and the
house was locked, some uneasiness was
felt, and en Saturday it was resolved by
some of the citizens te break open
the house and make an investigation.
Ex-Sheriff Smith and several ethers went
te the house, knocked at the doers, both
front and back, and, receiving no answer,
broke open the back deer, which was very
easily done, it being but poorly secured en
the inside.
On entering the room a most horrible
sight met the eyes of the visitors. Lying
en a miserable bed were the dead bodies of
the husband and wife and an infant child.
On the fleer net far eiflay a little girl
about five years old, cold in death, and
crouched in a corner, the only living mem
ber of the family, a little boy about three
years old, with haggard face and his feet
and legs frozen almost te the knees. As
the citizens entered, this peer child said,
in fearful, chattering tones, " Don't make
a noise, pap is asleep, and if you wake him
up he will whip me."
Squire Eib, deputy coroner, who lives
some distance out of the village, was at
once summoned and empaneled a jury te
held an inquest en the four dead bodies.
The body of the wife had nothing en it but
the chemise, her neck was found te be
broken, and the back part of her skull
crushed in. The body was much decom
posed, and it was the opinion of the coro
ner's physician, Dr. Wcseman, that she had
been killed as early as Monday night or
Tuesday morning. The body of the little
girl "whose neck was broken, was also de
composed, and she was probably killed at
the same time. The babe, about three
months old, was lying en its mother's
breast. Ne marks of violence were found
en it-, body, and it is believed it was either
frozen or starved te death. Lane's body
beic no marks of violence, but a pest
mortem examination of the stomach left
no doubt that his death was caused by
arsenic, administeied by himself, and that
he died probably en Thursday evening.
The testimony of witnesses examined is
te the effect that Lane ami his family
came t e Haiubi idge last spring. Lane saiil
they t-anie from Maryland, but did net say
from what pail oft he state. Lane was a
powerful man. si:: feet and six inches in
height, and aged about 27 years. He had
no trade, but occasionally earned a little
money by odd jobs of labor, spending most
of his earnings for liquor, lie was a coarse,
rufiianly fellev,abusive te his family and a
teirer te his neighbors. A day or two
after the November election he sold what
little furniture and household goods he
had and said he was going AVest. Heat
once left Cambridge, taking his family
along. In about two weeks afterwards his
family returned and were several days
without : home. Lane arrived seen
afterwards and took his family into the
shanty in which the tragedy occurred.
During the winter they have been support
ed partly by charity and partly by pur
chases made by Lane at the stores en credit.
The store-keepers were afraid of him and
let him have necessaries for his family
without money. It is said the family did
net suffer for feed or fuel. As stated
abovenene of the family were seen outside
the house sim-e last Monday, but en Thurs
day before neon a little daughter of one of
the villagers, whose mother had borrowed
a smoothing iron from Mrs. Lane, went te
Lane's house te return the iron. Finding
the front deer locked, she went around te
the back deer, which was unlocked, and
left the iron. On returning home she told
her mother that all the family were
''sleeping in daytime" except Lane, who
was sitting en a chair. The child's state
ment would seem te confirm the opinion of
the doctor that the wife and child had been
killed as caily as Monday, and that Lane
had net committed suicide until Thurs
day. Ne deadly weapon of any kind was
found about the premises, but bleed
stains weie found upon the rail of the
bedstead. Tt is believed that Lane, en
Monday night quarreled with his
wife and drove her out into the yard, or
that she ran into the yard te escape him,
as there were evidences that she had been
in the yard. It is supposed that he
dragged her back into the house,
dashed her against the bedstead until
her neck was broken and her skull frac
tured, and then threw her upon the bed,
and killed the five-year-old child te prevent
its giving an alarm. There were no marks
of violence en the body of this child except
the broken neck, and it appeared te have
"been dislocated by being seized in a pew
erful grasp and twisted out of place.
Squire Erb has net yet returned his ver
dict te the county commissioners, though
it is said te have been completed, and is te
the effect that Mrs. Lane and the eldest
daughter came te their death by violence
at the hand of the husband, Levi Lane ;
that he came te his death by poison admin
istered by his own hand ; and that the in
fant came te its death from starvation and
exposure.
The four dead bodies were interred en
Saturday evening, it being impossible te
keep them longer en account of the rapid
decomposition. The doctor retained the
stomach of the murderer for further analy
sis, should this be found necessary.
The three-year-old child is in a most piti
able condition, its lower limbs being se
dreadfully frozen that they have turned
black, the bleed does net circulate through
them, and they will probably have te be
amputated te save the child's life and it
is doubtful whether the child's life can be
.saved even by this terrible remedy.
Lane told a number of persons at differ
ent times that his wife had rich relations,
but he did net tell them who they were,
or what his wife's name was. It is also
said that he has a brother residing in or
near Youtztewn, this county. Efferts are
being made by 'Squire Erb, te find the re
lations of the unfortunate woman and
children. Meantime the geed people of
Baiubridge are bestowing all possible at
tention en the only surviving child of the
iamily.
The murderer and suicide left behind
him nothing te indicate the cause of his
terrible crime. Seme think it may have
been en account of his extreme destitution,
but if this were se, would he net have
killed outright the whole family, and net
have left the babe te starve te death, and
the three-year-old boy te almost perish
with cold ?
THE DRAMA.
Sir. B. Macauley as " Uncle Dan'l."
" Standing room only " was the watch
word that greeted late-comers te Fulton
opera house en Saturday night. When the
curtain went up every seat in the parquet,
parquet circle, and gallery was occupied,
while all the available space in the rear aisle
was utilized by unfortunate persons who
had neglected te secure their scats before
hand. The audience was one of the
largest, if net the very largest and most
brilliant, that has assembled at the opera
house during the present season, and was
certainly a deserved tribute of welcome te
the tall, bread-shouldered, big-chested
backwoodsman, "deputy sheriff of
Jams section nigh onto fifteen years."
It is almost a year since the blue-eyed,
simple-hearted countryman imaginatively
astride his old mare Nance, sorrel, the
color of seven-cent sugar, with her broken
tail standing up behind her like a parasol,
rode right into the hearts of our people,
and they have kept a warm place there for
him ever since. Like geed wine the play
of " A Messenger from Jarvis Section, "
anil its leading character, Uncle Dan I, as
portrayed by Mr. B. Macauley, improve
with age. The play is a comedy-drama
that well bears seeing mere than encct It
is brim-full and running ever with the
freshest humor, and abounds in situations
of the most stirring, net te say sensational
character, portrayed in a thoroughly ar
tistic and natural manner, and exciting the
risibilities and admiration of the audience
in the opportunity they afford for the dis
play of quaint and curious humor as well
as manly strength and courage. Mr. Ma
eaulcy's facial expression and the
quality of his art admirably adapt
him te the proper portrayal of this "mind
that knew no guile and soul incapable of
fear," and the working of his honest rugged
features while trying te grasp the meaning
of the many modern slang phrases that
greet his cars en his arrival in Bosten, is a
study. The scene of the play alternates
between an out-of-the-way corner of Maine
and the city of Bosten, the leading inci
dents transpiring in the last named place,
where Uncle Dan'l meets with a succession
of adventures, which, despite their some
what exhausting strain en the imagination,
enlist the close attention of the spectator
throughout the kaleidoscopic changes of
the situation. It was a thoroughly demon demen
strativc audience, with whom the kindly
face, homespun garments, big fur cap and
carpet-bag at once found favor and sympa
thy, and at times the heartiness of the ap
plause interrupted the conversation of
the people en the stage. At the
conclusion et the third act Uncle
Ban I and little Clip appeared before the
curtain te bow their acknowledgments of
the thunders of applause that greeted them.
The last named character was very clever
ly personated by Miss Minnie Maddern,
whose blight ingenuous face wen immedi
ate favor with the audience, while her act
ing was of a high order of artistic merit.
Her "slang" was simply "immense,"' and
some of the audience were scarcely less
puzzled than Uncle Dan'l in their efforts te
interpret the little rogue's meaning. An An
other admirable piece of work was Mr.
Bcers's rendition of the character of Skinny
Smith, the miserly landlord, and of such
uniform and evenly-balanced merit was the
remainder of the cast that further distictien
is quite unnecessary. It may be truthfully
said that no mere finished and satisfactory
dramatic performance has been witnessed
en the beards at Fulton opera house this
winter. Si Pitting ill, "a rale handy fellar,"'
was a prime favorite, albeit he was totally
invisible te the audience. Uncle Dan'l may
come again.

lilt Unlay Party.
On Saturday evening about twenty boys
and girls, mainly pupils of the high schools,
visited the residence of Mr. Henry M.
Geiter, en Seuth Water street, and treated
te a " surprise party" that gentleman's
niece, Miss Mamie E. Sharp, and congrat
ulated her upon the attainment of her fif
teenth birthday. Of course, they had a
" splendid Jtime" when were a score of
boys and girls assembled together, who
didn't ? The evening was pleasantly spent
in games and social festivities until all
hands were summoned te the dining room,
where a most tempting repast had been
spread, and where the sharpened appetites
of the lads and lasses found ample means
for gratification. At a late hour the party
broke un. and all were unanimous in vet
ing the affair a complete success.
During the evening Master Harry
Snavely, of the boys' high school, in a few
well chosen remarks, en behalf of the vis
itors presented Miss Mamie with a hand
some writing desk well stocked with fine
stationery, together with an elegant floral
horse-shoe, as a token of their regard and
of their geed wishes for the young lady's
future.

Chicago, Feb 1G. A cold-blooded mur
der was committed at Sandwich, Illinois
yesterday morning. Twe burglars having
entered the house of Hiram P. Allen, a
respected citizen, were surprised by his
sitting up in bed and addressing them.
One of them immediately opened fire
upon him, hitting him four times.
Either of three of the shots would have
proved fatal if no ethers had been fired.
He died instantly. His wife, who had
taken refuge in the closet, heard some con
versation between the burglars, which,
with another clue which they left behind,
may lead te their arrest. They secured
only .i trille in the way of plunder.
