THE PET GOAT
0PMELR0SE
SWALLOWED A RAILROAD TOR
PEDO WITH BAD RESULTS.
Why the Widow Morlarlty Mourns.
Some Susquehanna County Per
sonal News Things Said Aside.
NotcB from the Paso Pall Diamond.
Another Indy Lawyer, nt Montrose.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Aug. 10. Tho widow
Morlarlty, of Melrose, until Thursdny
had a pet goat, which was the idol
of her heart. She had nothing elso
upon which to lavish Her great wealth
ot affection. When asked by her
neighbors why she didn't mnrry again,
the widow would invariably reply:
"Sure, an' Blllle Is company enough,
and he don't smoke, nor drink, nor
swear, and he don't stay out nights."
And tho goat seemed to enjoy tho
affection showered upon him, and ns
he ambled along the Jefferson branch
tracks, picking up stray door scrapers,
oyster cans and couch springs, no
happier animal could be found. In an
evil moment, he found a railroad tor
pedo and Instantly swallowed it. That
was the beginning of the sad end.
At supper time Billy came home, and
seeing a lace curtain upon a line, pro
ceeded to devour It for dessert.
Mrs. Morlarlty ran Into the yard,
nnd seizing tho only end of tho cur
tain in sight, pulled with might and
main, hoping to make the goat dis
gorge, but she failed, und in a moment
the lace had gone beyond recall.
Then tho linte widow threw a milk
ing stool at Billy, hitting him squarely
upon his side, when the torpedo ex
ploded wltluterrlflc force, nnd imme
diately tho air was filled with smoke,
goat, lace curtain, Iron ware and Mrs.
Morlarlty. The widow was thrown
over a fencoand into ah elder grove,
more scared than Injured.
After the railroad trackmen had
thrown a few bucketful of water upon
her, she asked: "Whatever happened
to Billy?" They could find but a few
straggling pieces of the goat, a whis
ker, the horns and a foot. The widow
placed these In n cigar box, which by
monllght and with tears, Bhe burled
'neath a spreading gooseberry bush.
And she mourns and cannot be com
forted. (

swarmed In excited gioups on the
strpcts. i
The convention was harmoniously
carried out, but owing to the number
of candldutes the business of the day
was not complqted until late In the af

AND NOW DEVOLUTION.
Tho Reversibility of Life Occupying
tho Attention of Scientists.
From Harper's Weekly.
In the last of his lectures at Columbia
university, Piofessor Loeb took up the
interesting question of the reversibility
of life that Is, whether the process of
growth could he reversed, and n plant
or animal led back to tho seed or germ
cell from which It sprang. Chemists,
of course, icgard llfo nowadays simply
ns a very complete series of chemical
reactions, which will be ono dny re
ptoduelhlo In tho test-tubo of u labora
tory. Formerly, chemists were wont to
divide all chemical reactions Into those
which aro reversible that Is, that can
be conducted In either direction and
those which are not. Llfo was bet
down ns an Ineverslblo reaction, It
can go on only In one direction, which
wo call growth, but which seems mere
ly a release of energy, ending In a
condition of equilibrium which we call
death, Later researches, however, seem
to make It clear that ull chemical re
actions aro reversible. For example,
tlio carbon of coal combines with tho
oxygen of tho air to form carbonlc-acld
gas, which goes on with the smoke,

ORIGIN OP MOLLY MAGUIRES.
Tho present coal strike and Its ocra
slonal nets of violence have recalled the
Molly Mugulres, whose lawless deeds
made them tho terror of tho Pennsyl
vania coal regions ns late as 1S73, whfn
a young detective from tho Plnkerton
agency of Chicago, James McParlan, at
tho risk of his life, exposed their
secrets nnd their methods nnd led to
tho breaking up of tho band. Tho
origin of tlte name, Molly Mugulres, Is
somewhat uncertain; but tho tradition
now generally believed, according to
the new Harper's Kncyelopaedla of
United States History, Is that Molly
Maguirc was an nged Irishwoman in
tho old country who could not pay her
rent, und In consequence wns murdered
by tho land agent, who took her little,
property for the pittance sh.e was un
able to give Iter landlord,
This woman's sou und his frlenda
then organized tho Molly Mngulies for
purposes of jevenge, and protection oi
other poor people. Hands of these Btout
young Iijshmtm dlsgulbed themselves In
women's clothes, wearing masks or
bluckeulng their facos with burned
cork to look as terrifying as posslbjo
In the commission of their crimes.
While In Ireland the oppressive latd
laws wetc botno excuse for such out
lawry, In this country It had no Justin
cation.
