Bki.i-kfonte, March 6. After holding the sheriff of Centre county and 2,000 armed citizen at bay for twenty-four hours, the desperado, William Etlinger, was only driven from the house to-day when the burning ember of the struc ture were falling alxmt his head, and then, desperate to the last, and prefer ring death by his own hands rather than surrender, he blew out h:s brains upon the threshold of his dwelling. Ail efforts to dislodge the man had l-eeii in vaiu and as every one who ap proaehed the house exposed himself to death from Ktlinger's rifle. Sheriff Condo found a man to risk his life in setting fire to the structure. Then it was that Etlin gor allowed his two children to leave the burning building, but his wife only es caped death by breaking away from her hnsi land's grasp, as he lmd intended to kill her as well as himselC As it was Eiiinger fired four shots after the. woman as she tied from the building and then stepped outside and killed hiinselt. Ktlinger lived in the little village of Woodward, in the eastern end of this county, lie was aUait twenty-five years of age, and among his neighbors he had the reputation of being a man whom it was nit liest to provoke. Several months ago he assaulted his father-in-law, I'.en jamin IJender, and nearly scalped him with a piece of cord wood. Etlinger was arrested at the time and brought here. He secured bail. Iit w hen the ease was called for trial, Etlinger failed to appear. A bench warrant was issued for his ar rest, but the man hail taken refuge in the mountains that surrounded the hamlet in which he lived. He was occasionally seen, but none of his neighbors were ven turesome enough to attempt his arrest. Yesterday afternoon Constable Itarner heard that Etlinger was at home. There had lieen a feud between ISarner and Et linger and the constable determined ujioii the arrest of his enemy. He deputized C . Motz and John Hostei man to assist him in arresting Etlinger. The three went to the house of Etlinger and found that the latter, with his w ife and three- year-old daughter aud two-year-old son, had barricaded themselves in the second story of their frame dwelling. Theollieers entered and Itarner kicked in a panel ot the door on the second lloor. Evidently reckoning on no desperate resistance, the constable started to crawl into the room in whhh Etlinger had taken refuge, through the broken door. The man had prepared himself for resistance, however, and, as Itarner's head and fchoulders ap peared in the roam, Etlinger fired a ririe ball through his head, killing him in stantly. Etlinger then fired through the door at the other two men and Motz was stmek and badly hurt. The two deputiz ed constables beat a hasty retreat from the house. They aroused the town and men gath ered up their firearms and hastened to Etlinger's dwelling. A shot from the house quickly warned every man that came within range that Etlinger was pre pared to do further murder in the defense of his person. Sheriff Condo was tele graphed for here and with sixteen armed deputies went to Woodward on a special train. During the siege yesterday afternoon Etlinger sent a shot through the window of a house next door to his and Frank Ueisw hite, who was lying ill therein, was hit and dangerously wounded. A little later Etlinger fired into the house of Mrs. Kolx-tt Miller aud the bullet just missed that lady. John Musser, who was watch ing Etlinger's house, was shot iu the neck and severely wounded. 1 miii the arrival of the sheriff on the scene that ofiieial took charge of the siege. The thousand and more men around the house kept up a fusillade of shots until the ammunition of the little town was exhausted. The only way that seemed Msible to di.-lo.lge Etlinger without sacrificing the lives of several men was to fire the house, but, on account of the children and Mrs. Etlinger, the sheriil determined not to resort to this except as a last measure. The house was guarded throughout the night and, as the news .f the siege had spread, by daylight there were fuliy armed men almut the houe. This morning Sheriff Condo determin ed upon attempting to carry the house by storm. With a muulier of deputies he ma. lea rush for the building, but the whistle of the bullets from Etlinger's Winchester speedily took the courage out of the storming party and drove them back under cover. Then the sheriff de cided to fire the building. James I'or neiley, a Itellefonte deputy, volunteered to applv the match. I'nder the cover of a tierce iire directed against the house by the crowd Cornelley made his way to the building and applied the torch and re turned in safety. The flames made slow headway ami it was fully an hour before the building was fairly abla.e. The heat of the iire drove Etlinger ami his family to the cellar. When the building had become too hot for habitation the cellar door was stealthily opened and the two children pushed through into the street. Closely fi'.low ing theehib.lren Mrs. Etlinger imist throu.rh the cellar door a:d staggered out. The crewd was hot in anyer against the woman, as they believed that she had assisted her husband in de fending the house, and as she made her appearance a cry went up "Shoot the witch." Cooler head raised a shout and prevonied any firing at the woman. As she fled from the house herhusliand fired fuir times af.er her, but each sh.it went w i.le of the mark. Itythisliiuc the building was ablaze from cellar to roof, and, with the choice .f d.aiu l.v i rein Cioii oral the hands of the mob, Etlinger decided to kill him self. He suddenly stepped from the cel- larway with a rifle in one hand and a re volver In the other. On a demand to sur render the outlaw threw down his gun and undauntedly faeein the mob cried out : "I don't want t kill any other man but myself, lint I w ill not lie taken alive." With these words he put the revolver to his le ad and fired two bullets into his brain, falling dead in the street. A rush was made for the d.tor and the d.d Inmi of Constable Itarner was drag ged from the burning imilding just as the r.siffell in. The crowd wa horrified to find that not only had the entire top of Harner's head been shot away, but that his throat had lieen cut from ear to ear. H'hen Mrs. Etlinger had aomewhit re covered her composure she told that she was u. Ha w tiling defender of the li-aise with ber huslwiid, but that she had la-en detained there by him, and to insure her not escaping he had handi-utVed her feet torcther. Etlinger had anticipated an at tempt to sou re him and had madea ver ila! tie fort and arsenal of his house. It w a la's Uu to bold (Hit as long as possi ble, and when driven to extremities, to give lileity to ile n-Jiihlren and kill his iie aud himself. Mix.

A strange and weird funeral was that of the out law. Win. Etlirger, at Woodward. An. inquest w as held last night on the booy of the desperado, who had shot himself to escape rnpture. The jury w as finable to determine who did the killing of (.'.in stable Itamcr, as Mrs. Etiinger was the only wrson seen by those outside when the latal shot was fired. The brother and the w idow of the outlaw refused to Lave an thing to do with his body, and the Overseers of the Poor took it in charge, placed It In a haatily constructed coffin and liiricd it on the mountain. It was hauled in a farm wagon half a mile east of the village, and laid in the lonely gnu e in the Narrows. A KlKNIUSH fl-OT FoII.MI. The remains of Constable Ihirner were buried to-day, and his funeral waa one ofthe largest ever known in that lo cality. Mrs. Etlinger says her huslumd had a dynamite pit in the cellar that he had intended to use to blow up the house as a last resort. Why he did not no one w ill ever know. He had al-o secured a large amount of poison with which he proposed to poisou ihc waters in Wood ward to get revenge on his neighbors. Ilia attempted arrest and tragedy came Jn time to frustrate this diabolical de sign. It was also Etlinger's original inten tion to kill Itoth his wife and himself on Thursday night, but the crying of the two frightened children kept him from doing this. He spared the mother's life to care for her babes. Etlinger's property destroyed by the Sheriff's poss was valued at near j-Vll, and already the question has been brought up as to who will pay the dam age. Keform For Feaiionert. Wasiiinotox, March 8. The House bus passed a bill of great interest to every pensioner. It changi-s the method of dis bursing quarterly pension payments, and. if enacted into law, will effect a change w hich is expected to relieve some of the old veterans of the opprobrium which has been heaped upon them in some quarters on account of their addiction to intoxi cants. The bill provides that hereafter all pen sion payments shall le forwarded by reg istered letter to the beneficiaries at their homes, and abolishes the present system, which compels many of them to travel to the l.H-ation ofthe pension agents usual ly in some large city to receive their checks. Complaints have leen made to the Invalid Pensions committee that the present system is fraught with many dis agreeable and inconvenient features, and that new methods should lie inaugurated. Many families of old veterans have com plained that the pensioners, upon receiv ing their money in the cities, proceed to enjoy themselves iu riotous living, with the result that lmlh themselves and their families are injured and neghs-ted. The committee believes that this bill will re move many of the undesirable features of the present law, and is satisfied that the Senate w ill pass it. Oreat complaint has lieen made by citi zens of various portions of the country ofthe practice of allowing the pensioners to cash their checks in saloons and other pia.-es of disrepute. There is talk of in troducing legislation in the House calcu lated to destroy the practice, but thus far no steps have I iceii taken in the desired direction. Itcpri'scntive Pickler, chair man of the Committee on Invalid I'eu sions, said to-.lay that any bill which sought to atxilish the practice would meet with his hearty appr ibation, but he was unable to see the practicability of the scheme. Carlisle Has The Lead. Nkw York, March 7, 1 !!. The Washington correspondent of the "Mail and Express" says to-night: "It has been so often stated that President Cleveland is about formally to announce his w ith drawal from the presidential race, that a new statement to that effect is given little credent. Within the last week, how ever, such a significant pointer was given to the insiders that even the doubting ones are watching developments with interest. An ollieerholder, who has al ways lieen very close, to lioth President Cleveland ind Secretary I.a.'iiont, an nounced that he would take to the Chi cago convention delegates from the far west pledged to vote for the nomination of Secretary John i. Carlisle. He stated that in administration circles it was well known that the 1're-ident's influence, at the proper time, would lie thrown to Car lisle an.l not to Onley. "Exactly how Mr. Cleveland will an-noiin.-e himself as out ofthe race is not dear to his friends. During the last visit of ex-President Harrison to this city he i-allcdon President Cleveland. The two discussed the cares and worries of the presidential otih-e, andUeneral HarrsiH .n remarked that he would not taketheui up again at any priee. It was not long after the interview at the White house that ex l'resident Harrison wrote his letter an nouncing that he was not a candidate, and directed it to th chairman of a dis-tri.-t committee, which had mentioned his name in connection w ith the nomina tion at St. Ixiuis. It is said that Pres ident Cleveland resolved to follow tien eral Harrison's example. Object to the Pure Food Lav. i HKKSsni K'.i, March 7. A movement will lie iua'ig-.i rated among the retail grocers here and in other towns in the county locking to the formation of an organization for the purjKtse of testing the pure f 1 law under which the state agents are just now a'-iing in this county. Within the past day or two alsiut 21 in formations have lieen made against retail grocers in the county alleging the sale of impure vinegar. MemlK-rsof the legislature a:id lead ing lawyers insist that the a.-t has been misconstrued, and that the spirit of the law tends to pr'te-t the retail grocers and consumers against dishonest w hole salers. If the law his lcn violated, they say that thrt parti'.-s who ill the food to tlie reta'l'Ts are responsible. I'pon these grounds at i-a;-t the mer chants will take action. In many in stances it has lieen found thet the u.er chants prosecuted for selling impure food have dirs-t!y paid their tines, rather than have their names exposed and their business interests probably ii-jured to an extent. Eehaked For Not Shooting. Kansas Cstv, March 7, lsL As tho Phillips divorce case terminated in the circuit court in this city to-day, the spectators were astonished to hear Judge W. J.

Phillips, fainted and a carried from the risim. The case has ls-en replete with dis gusting testimony from the start. The defendant, lial'ingal Phillips, was shown to Ik? the injured party, aud was given the decree. In giving his decision. Judge Henry, who is an ex-judge of the state supreme court, said: "The only fault I can find with you, Mr. Phillips is that you have lieen too much inclined to leniency.

A letter j ist re ceived by a member of tin American Na tional lied Cross from Miss Cl ir-i bar ton, dated Para, Constantinople, February 10lh, tells of the journey of th3 R 1 CroM party, which sailcl from here January "i! 1. and also contains the following: "Tho cablegram seut by Minister Ter rell yesterday afternoon to Secretary Ol ney, and w hich I trust was made public, was the outcome of a call in the morning upon the Sublime Porte in tho person of its Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was in every way as agreeable, cordial and satisfactory as it could have been made in any country. Not only was tho fullest permission given for our entrance into Armenia, lait an active and generous effort was displayed toward making our endeavors, our journeys etc, safe, pleas ant and as easy as possible, and also as productive of lieueticial results as could be wished for. Mr. Terrell was very much gratified and seemed very hapoy over our success to which the State De partment and he contributed so largely. "As S.1011 as an outfit can be made end passage secured our men will start for tho desolated regions. It will bo cold and terribly hard for them, but that is what they came for. I have met several of the leading missionaries and other Ameri'-an gentlemen here. It is hoped that the mas sacres are over, but it is of course, un.-er- tain. Tiie general feeling is that Huasia has said 'enough.' "The distress and suffering through want and sickness are descrilied as being enormous and terrible." "t tur stops on the journey at London, Paris Ceneva and ltaden Itaden were short, but very pleasant, and so full of good feeling cordiality and usefulness." Miss ltarton refers in the lieginning of the foregoing to the message cabled by Minister Terrel on the 18th inst., saying the Ked Cross had been admitted and guaranteed protection, and that the gates of charily are now oien. Simsa then dispatches have announced that some of the Ked Cross party had left Zeitoun, where relief if most urgent, by reason of its recent capture by the Turkish army. Miss ltarton took with her many letters of great intluen.-e addressed to the Turk ish authorities. Bread Cast on the Waters. A letter was received at Indiana, Pa., on Monday, which stated that an un known man had lieen found dead in his lied in a oor tenement house iu Phila delphia on Wednesday of last week, and in his trunk was found a letter in which all of his wealth, estimated at I5,mi, was Ixspiealhed to Mrs. Levi Fry, of Indiana County, or, in the case of her death, to her son John Fry. The name of W. II. Alton is signed to the letter. The story told by tin; man is a some what romantic one. It is that twenty five years ago the writer was a common trump, ami, while on one of his tours through Indiana County, stopped at the home of Mr. Fry and asked for some thing to cat. Ha had lieen fasting for two days aud was almost famished. Mrs. Fry took him in and fed him, and, ac cording to the letter, gave him fc to liegin life iiver again when he left the next morning. The money proved a blessing to the wanderer. It seemed he was of a good family, but a roving disHsitiivi had l.sl him away from home. Arrived in Indi ana, he purchased a Pittsburg paper, and one of the first items his eyes encounter ed while perusing it was an advertise ment from his father, announcing his illness and desiring his return home. The poor tramp was soon once more lie nenth the paternal roof, but his father did not long survive his return. On his death bed he bequeathed his property to his hoy, and the latter then settled down into a different life. lty speculation the sum he inherited was increased considerably. I5ut the habits acquired in his life of a wanderer w ere not easily shaken off. A life of luxury and ease had no charm for him, so he settled down to a life in the inferior boarding-house in a great city. During his residence in the lioarding house he was regarded as a psir man. After his death his tnink was opened and money and lionds to the amount of ?1."i,im) were found, along w ith the will alove referred to. The Fry residence is about four miles east of Indiana. Mrs. Fry has lieen dead for fifteen years and her husband, who is now eighty years old, hits since mar ried again. He regards the story told in the letter as a likely one, though he does not rememlierthe rccasion. The son John, referred to in the w ill, is now thirty-nine years old, and is work ing on a telephone line in Fayette Coun ty. An attorney will lie engaged, and the matter investigated at once, to learn what may l iu it. Her Experience.
