SHOT H Kit TWICE. A Colored Denpnrado Ml DcrryTritii to Mur der Hi* Wire. (iKEBHBBUitG, Pa., July 24.—This morn ing about uine o'clock Jim Lewis, a noto rious colored barber at Deny, shot his wife twice. The first ball lodged in Iter arm and the second shot took effect in the groin. Neither of the wounds, it is thought, will prov > fatal. Lewis is a tough customer who Iras fig ured in several cutting scrapes, and at one time shot Conductor Bell, for which he served a term in the penitentiary. The couple have not been living together as amicably as they should, and this morn ing they had the usual racket with the above result. Lewis is well known here, wtiere his parents reside. He has been several times convicted of robbery, and lias always been regarded as a very dangerous man. He was nrrested, and, if not lynched by the citizens, /who are in a terrible state of excitement, will be brought here and odged in jail. WAT W A HI) BKI.LK ALLISON. An Indiniui County <ll rl Creates u Sensa tion. At Kansas Cily u detective from Indi ana, Pa., is attempting to find Belle Alli son, from that place, who, her friends fear, has met with ft ill play. She left home on June 19th, having previously ar ranged to elope with D. S. Harrold, a bar ber. of Effingham, Kan., who is married and the father of eight children. The couple arranged to meet in that city on June 22J. On that date Harrold was there, but since then he has been living at liis home as usual. Nothing has been heard of Miss Allison since iier departure from Indiana. When she left home she had $2,000 in her possession, and it is feared that she lias been murdered and robbed.

Paul, of Parkstowu, had a finger crushed. Wm. Edwards had a sore puncture wound on leg. William J. King, of Cambria City, was burned on the arm, but not seriously. An Eccentric DUE- Perry county Democrat. James Willis, of this place, is the owner of a most eccentric bull-dog. A few weeks ago we gave an account of how this dog had stopped a runaway horse by jumping at its head and grubbing the bridle-rein ; now comes the story of how it disposed of a brave and warlike half grown cat, which presumed to bristle and spit at her dogship. The cut. had just about struck her fighting attitude and was preparing to rush this Sullivan-likt cu- nine, when the dog put mo-t unceremo nious ami unprofessional end to the fight by swallow ing the cat whole. She then quietly lav down and went to sleep as if nothing unusual had happened, and has since suffered no inconvenience from her unmnsticuted repast. Just what this dug will do next, to show her erratic tempera ment, it is hard to tell. The White Cap* ftusumi* Hustiie**.

HAS HE BEGUN A FRESH SERIES OF CRIMESf All London Excited hy the FlnmlN Latent Work In the Wliltechapel OlH trlrt—'Tremeudouv Blunder* Made ly Sir Cliarlea Wnrren and his Mubordl natcM—Monro Doing Little Better. All terror-stricken London again bows before 'Jack the Itipper." That dread name, the only one unfortu nately by which the mysterious fiend is brought within the scope of mere human comprehension, is on the tongue of every man, woman and child in evory district ol' that vast metropolis. When that cry so familiar to London ers for several months last year, "An other Whltechapel murder!" again rang out a few days ago, men refused to believe that another terrible crime had been added to the mysteries of London. On the faces of the merchants and clerks hurrying to business by tho i 'truing trains one could see incredulity pictured ; but tills look gave way to blank amaze ment when they saw Ludgato Hill üblaze with the announcements, " 'Jack the Itipper Again at Work!" "Another Woman Horribly Mutilated!" THE WAV THE MUBDEBS ABE SUPPOSED "J HAVE BEEN COMMITTED. Evep He most abandoued women .live in a state of terror, however they may try to'Tiwio their foeliug under a mask of drunken gayety. The police are absolutely no safeguard. The murderer may prowl as he wishes about these alleys and lanes, even with his hands rod with the blood of his vic tims. There was no one more astonished than the constable who discovered the body of Alice Mackenzie. "Why," said he to a reporter, "1 could scurco believe my bloomin' h'eyes." The entire force are completely dura founded, they are as helpless as children. After the murder they make a big show, which results in nothing except the arrest and subsequent discharge of some drunken loafers who drop mys terious hints in public houses. It must undoubtedly be admitted the police here are terribly handicapped in dealing with the "Ripper." Wuitechapel and its immediate neighborhood are sim ply net works of narrow streets on either side of Commercial road, which' is a rather fine thoroughfare. Once a man who is acquainted with the locality turns any one corner the chances arc that the best detective skill will not discover him. He becomes lost in the labyrinth. Furthermore, the quarter is a large city in itself, a city of tumble-down, rickety houses and filthy courts and gate ways, with a population for the most part criminal. The lowest of the low, the most aban doned wretches, both male and female, reside here in filthy dens. They art steeped in poverty and vice, and thi within a stone's throw almost of the royal mint of England. The women are poor wretches who, as a rule, have a sort of partnership with men viler than themselves. They do a In :1c charring by day, and supplemen their earnings on the streets at night, i: they have not regular partners they sleep in the low lodging-houses thy abound here, und pay fourpe'nee for the "doss." Should they happen to hav companions an "elghtpenny doss" is en gaged. Sometimes there is not enough of money left from the gin palace to pay for a bed, and in that case a cart in som - gateway or alley serves the purpose. Those are too women who become the victims of "Jack the Ripper. ' They know the quietest nooks and corners in this abandoned portion of the great city and have no fear for the policeman, whose heavy, measured tread always gives warningof his approach, and even should he t'ash his lantern on u dark corner the chances are that to save himself trouble he would pass on. The (lend appears to be wonderfully dexterous at his work. Ho never gives the victim a chance of raising an alarm. The throat.lieilrst cuts inaslngleinstant and then lie begins the work of mutila tion. The theory is that he cuts from behind, tint.-avoiding the blood. Thoab domen lie carves up with evident skill and the entrails he cuts out cleanly, as a rule tuking care to place them in some position by the body which renders his terrible work more hideous. Then, his work completed, he glides away. |j|^ WHITECHAFF.L TYPES. There is nothing left behind that can lead to his discovery, and the police and the public must content themselves with the customary coroner's inquiry and the old-time verdict of the jury that the woman was "murdered by some person or persons unknown." It is now almost two years since the first outcast was found dead and muti lated in the Whitechapol district. A murder in mystery was, however, noth ing to marvel at in London and very lit tle effort was mado to discover even the customarv poiicoolew. The newspapers devoted a mere penny-a-liner's para graph to the uffair. The following April another womai was found murdered in the same district but Sir Charles Warren, the chief com missioner of police, was too busily en gaged in endeavoring to crush the spirH out of the workingmen of Loudon t< trouble about the affair. The papers bad the usual paragraph, and the caso at tracted no publlo attention. On August 1 there was a slight com motion over the murder o I a woman named Margaret Turner. She was found on the doorsteps of. a house. Her body had been pierced la several places with a bayonet. Ou August 31, the metropolis wus genuinely alarmed over the discov ery of the body of Polly Micholes and in rapid succession the other crimes fol lowed alter and Loudon awoke In terror, at last realizing the capacity of the liend for his bloody work. Sir Charles Warren was repeatedly at tacked in the newspapers, and to make as,niggle against his downfall he sup plemented the hluneoats with a force of English bloodhounds. Sir Charles, to the amusement of the comic pipers, ex ercised in Hyde Park with the dogs and had them set on his own track. The warrior in less than an hour was up the tallest tree he could Hnd, with the brutes on guard beneath him. After this the hounds sickened of the business and took the first opportunity that offered to escape. The crowded streets of London were, however, not the ground for blood hounds. Failure dogged him at every step and while lie was actually quarreling with ids assistants in Scotland Yard murder nourished. Human remains were dis covered October 2 in a cellar at the foundation of the new police building on tiro embankment and within the pre cincts of Scotland Yard. The mutilated body only was found here, but afterward legs and arms were found in other parts of the city. Mr. Monro, chief of the detective de partment, could not agree with Sir Charles, who wished to "boss" the whole concern after his own fashion, und con •equently, lie handed iu his resignation at tlio home office and left tho yard. Warren's day of doom was now rapidly approaching. Mary Jano Kelly, or Lawrence, was cut up in pieces almost, on November 9. Her nose and oars and breasts were cut off and pluced beside her. Her heart and liver wore taken out anil tied together round her garbed neck. Tho portion of her body carried off in all tho preceding cases waS not lo be found. The murderer bad excelled all previous efforts at dia bolical butchery, and people wondered if this terrible work was never to come to an end. The police were as poworloss a9 ever, ami as the wpeks went on Londoners ouly waited patiently (or the Unding of the next unfortunate victim of Jack, the Kipper. 'tilings in the meantime went from bail to worse with Sir Charles Warren. He fell foul of tils master and old de fender, Homo Secretary Jlathew, and prepared a magazine article in lijs own defence. This article was sprung upon the pub lie by the "Star" long before its time, and the result was that Warren went back to his soldiering and Monro was picked up again and appointed chief com missioner. Since Monro's appointment London was not treated to further murders by Kipper. There was little space given to the November 9 murder, the Tarn ell com mission occupying all the attention of the newspapers. The body of a woman was found early in June last, but it was not ascertained to a certainty that, the old iiend had nail anything to do with her murder. The murder of Alice Mackenzie, u few days ago, gives Mr. Monro a chance of displaying his powers, but unfortunately there arc c> indications that the metro politan force has improved either in d /H i tmm (im m i I A COURT IN W.HITECHAPF.L. smartness or manners since the deposi tion of the military chief. It is generally believed that the hito crime is only the beginning of a fresli series, and Whitoehapel is being and will lie closely watched by the newspapers Natural Electricity. An extraordinary tale comes from Bur nish. Mr. Kounld H. King, an electri cian well known to the Burmese, while on a prospecting and sheading expedition 11 the island of LabuaiiHs said to have •-covered a mineral from which olee rieity can be obtained without appa ratus of any kind whatever. lie mineral, says the "Electrical llo ov," is described as being in the form i a black stone, of excessive hardness i,nl very great spocifie gravity, being i.-aily as heavy as platinum. A small ..lock in the shape of an irregular cube, ;r."iisuring 4.J inches one way, and, on .11 aging it into tlic testing room, a i rung effect was noticed upon the gal vanometer. At lirst it was thought that the mineral was an ordinary loadstone, but on teats being made it was found that the force was more akin to that of an electro-inagnet, and that a strong current would flow when the mineral was connected in a circuit. Further tests revealed that a difference of potential of forty-seven volts could be detected at the extremities, the iutornal resistance of the mass being twenty oluns. The block appears to waste away very slightly, leaving a slight gray pow der upon the surface when connected up for some timo. The electrician now uses the block to light a couple of in candescent lamps in his laboratory. A Rare Confederate Knvelope. ' Judge J. D. Hammock, of Crawfords ville, who has held some one or two oounty ofllces of Taliaferro county, OR., shows a rare envelope.

The personal representative of the Queen llogent, the Brazilian ambassador bear ing an autograph letter of congratulation from bom Pedro, many representatives fi:oiu Spanish America and the Spanish colonies, delegates from the leading lit erary societies of Spain, scholars, jour nalists, and politicians, school children and workingmen's societies, all united with tho greatest enthusiasm in the trib ute to tho aged poet. The object of all this adoring honor, Zorilla himself, was born in IHI7 in the city of Valladolid. Dostined by his pa rents for the law, he spent two years in legal studies, and then, disgusted with the profession chosen for him, and filled j with an impetuous longing to embark in i tho career of literature to which he felt j bimsclf Inwurdly drawn, ho went to Ma- | drid, at the cost of a rupture with his family, to tost his fortune In tho metrop olis. His first volume of poems appeared when he was but 20, and for eight years afterward he poured out poetical and diamatio productions with true Spanish fecundity. No loss than ten volumes of verse and thirty dramas aro to be assigned to this period. But his literary activity brought him more famo than money. His father having died unreconciled to tho disobedient son, the latter was left to his own resources. Ho went to Paris, and there begun publishing his longest and most famous poem "Granada"—a sort of epic, into which he wove some of the proudest traditions and most cher ished legends of the southern kingdom. It was to this poem that was duo the initiative taken by tho Llceo of Granuda to proposing his crowning, it being thought eminently fitting that the prov ince and city whose glories he had sung should take lead 1 n doing him honor. But even from this work Zorilla derived no profit—what with a bankrupt agent, pirated editions, and the difficulty of making collections from American book sellers the poet became discouraged, and left his epic unfinished, though it had already extended through two vol umes. Noxt came twelve years passed In Mex ico, lost to poetry, though filled with pleasant experiences, and marked by the temporary advantage of tho patronage of the mushroom emperor, Maximilian. Upon the fall of the latter, Zorilla re turned to Spain to begin life anew. It was a hard struggle. Hack-work was for a long time his prinoipal contribution to literature. Finally, Amadeus ap pointed him a sort'of roving commissioner to examine Italian libraries and arch ives, but his salary on this soore ran for less than two years. Then he had u period of successful lecturing, and at last, tiirough the eloquent advocacy of Castelar, was granted a pension by the government. Since then he has been living a retired life in Valladolid, to be called forth at the end of his days to re ceive, in memory of his former literary labors, the nation's tribute of affection and honor.—Harper's Weekly. A Desperate Case of Suicide. The Palmer House, of Chicago, has been very unfortunate In the number of tragic deaths. It is thirteen years ago that one of the most sensational and carefully planned suicides in the history of self-destruction occurred at the hotel. Frederick Addison Jeffrey was the vic tim. Ho was said to have boon a mem ber of the firm of Wyekhoff & Jeffrey, of Peoria. He ocoupied a parlor room on the eastern oxtension of tho corridor. Early on the sth of July his body was found suspended over tho bathtub in his suite. Tl>£ tub was filled with warm water and contained tho charred frag ments of combustibles ignited by Jeffrey just beforo killing himself. When dis covered a stiletto was found plunged into his left breast, his throat was cut l'lomoar and ear, a pistol hung by a cord within easy reach, beside it a peari handlcd razor. His body hung by a stout cord fastened to tho ceiling. Ho had saturated his clothing with kerosene so it would bo easily ignited from the combustibles in the tub. Ho turned on the water as he wrote a letter and when the rope ho was hanging by would bo burned through ho would fall into tho tub and burn to a crisp. The coroner's jury was unable to tell which killed him.—Chicago Times. A Revolution In Amateur Photography. Gcorgo Eastman, of Rochester, an nounees an invention that takes a first place among scientific achievements. It is a substitute for gas as a support for the sensitive film of a photographic plate. Rapid and partially satisfactory ■ I'itdoor work has been douo hitherto by the aid of a 111 m which is stripped from tlio paper upon which it is exposed and thou placed upon a glass plato to form the negative. But this transfer is a dolicato and diffi cult process. Mr. Eastman has devised a plate of a modified celluloid, four one thousandths of an inch thick. This com bined product is flexible, can bo made of any size, and would upon a roller like tho paper film. Photographs are printed from it direct without anything like stripping, or other transfer of film. If the invention proves to be what Mr. Eastmau claims for it, it will work a rev olution in amateur photography, as every operator of ordinary skill will lie able to develop and print from his own negatives. The Manchester Ship Canal. Any one unconvinced by a sight of the canal itself that the task of making it is a serious one would assuredly be con verted if he saw the plant and muchinerv at work. Though the canal is only thirty-ilvo miles long, there aro about 200 miles of railway line laid Ucwn on or near its banks, und 150 locomotives are at work upon them to remove the soil dug out by 15,000 human and eighty steam navvies. Ono of these latter hus been known boforo now to foed 650 rail way wagons, holding four cubic yards aploco, iu the course of a day. But when there are 50,000,000 oubic yards to be excavated 2,000 is a tnero flea bite. In all, the plant on the ground at pres ent is valued at upward of £700,000, Murray's Magazine. "While thus engaged on work so fine, Where skill and patience must combine, How oft the thought must pain the heart, That after all your care and art. The handsome work that charms the eye Ere long must soiled and ruined lie." "Oh, no; you make a great mistake, As no such thought our rest can break; For should there come a soil or stain. No ruin follows in their train; However deep or dark they show. The IVORY SOAP can make them go, And all the brilliancy restore And perfect beauty as before." A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the ' Ivory';" they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it. Copyright 1886, by Procter & Gamble. I^o§er\bd.vin^(S Nos. 510, 512, 514 Market St., and 27 Fifth Ave. PITTSBURGH.
