Morgan was under arrest and attempted to escape Gray shot at him three times. The third ballet entered bis back and penetrated bis lungs. He ran for several squares and then Ml down dead. The shooting caused great excitement. Gray immediately dis appeared and several serching parties were scouring the surrounding hills last evening looking for him. William Law of Allegheny Co. charged with attempting to wreck an excursion train on the West Penn railroad lastTburs day night, was given a hearing Monday before Alderman Adam Stork, of Alle gheny. Law's wife and 13-year-old son testified that he piled logs on the track, and had made attempts at other times to wreck trains in the same way. Once he drove her away when she tried to remove the obstructions. The alderman reserved his decision to determine whether the wife's testimony is competent, and remanded Law to jail. A peculiar phenomenon was noticed in Nesbannock township, north of New Cas tie, after a late storm. No sooner had the rain ceased than the hoarse croaking of hundreds of frogs was heard on every side. To the surprise of those lesiding in the vicinity innumerable full grown bull frogs weie found hopping along the road and in the meadows. The batrachians were everywhere. Farmer* turned out and readily caught them by the basketfull, without seemingly to lessen their number. Everybody now has frogs at meals. It is thought they fell during the rain. There are no streams within several miles of where they were found, and such a large number of frogs ha* never before been seen in Lawrence comnty. At Scio, over in Harrison county, Ohio, the great sheep and wool county of that State, last week, tine sheep were sold at 40 cents per head, and it was neither at sher iff's nor assignee's sale either. This comes directly from persons on the ground at the time, who saw it. William Haskell, was accidentally shot and painfully but not dangerously injured by Mac Brown, near Pleasantville, on Friday afternoon. The two men were huuting for squirrels. Haskell started through the woods to beat up game and Brown stationed himself beneath a large tree. After a short wait he saw some thing move in the bushes about 80 feet away, thought is was a black squirrel and fired. It was Baskells bat and almost the entire charge entered his face and upper part of the body. The wounded man was placed in a buggy and driven home as rapidly as possible, where the shot was picked out later by a physician. McKeesport celebrated the 100 aninver sary of its existance, last Thmrsday. They bad a big procession, a tin-plate gateway, and a big meeting addressed by Gov's. Pattison and McKinley. C.XD.
