years of ace and lias resided in Springlield
nearly all his life. He was kind in disposi

lie has been a slave of drink, and that fi

This morning, lietween 5 and (i o'clock,
Iilcliard Kenton, who resides on Stanton

house to empty a pan of ashes.
When lie reached his gate his attention
was attracted by an object lying only a few

and when he examined the body he found
it was tli.it of Jerry Huckins. The body
was drawn up as if the old man had been

cording to the statements of the police.
A representative of the Clouf.
lihi't in ir who investigated the
case today could find nobody who had seen
or heard of Huckins after 9 o'clock last

indeed be an obstinate one. He is well

of the Little Miami division, arrived in

held later In the evening between
the official named and a number of
prominent residents of south Market street
on the subject of the prutHisetl additional
switch on Jefferson street, which has caused
so much trouble. The protestants met pre
liminarily at the Arcade hotel and marched
in a solid and imposing phalanx to the car
near tlie L'ttle Miami deiot. Among the
last-named were Oliver S. Kelly. Kobert
Johnson, I). P. Jefferies, Dr. A. Dunlap,
Chi.W. Coiisiantine, Judge Jolin.C. Miller,
James Carson, and other.
A long and animated discussion ensued
in the car, in which both sides indulged in
some pretty plain talk. Everything was
perfectly courteous, however, and the visi
tors were tieated a honored guests. At
first the railroad in-ople were disposed to
indulge in some high-scented ilictonc on
the effrontery of the protestants, as mani
fested by their conduct after the city coun
cil had given the railway company permis
sion to construct the switch. In reply, the
protestants stated that, as citizens,
they had some rights that even a.railw y

Hesea relies.
The Hushnell Chautauqua circle had a
profitable and Interesting meeting last
evening at the residence of Miss Anna
Willard on north Limestone street. About
twenty-five members were present. The
first part of the evening was devoted to
questions and answers relating to the pres
ent study iihiii which tlie circle is engaged
nimely, geology. This discussion was
participated in by all tlie memliers and
brought out many points of interest.
Dr. John G. Kennan followed in a read
ing, 'The Norman Itarou," which was de
livered with fine dramatic effect.
Mrs. John Winger read an excellent and
interesting paper on '-Surface Geology, "
relating particularly to Niagara and Colora
do canons.
Professor lloskinson, of Wittenberg col
lege, followed m a most entertaining talk
on the geology of Ohio. He illustrated his
remark with a geological map of the state,
showing the various strata and their rela
tions. The professor exhibited a large nuin
lier of fossil specimens, trilobite illustrating
the different periods and formations of
Ohm's strata.
Oscar T. Martin followed in an excellent
and carefully prepared p.i)ier on "Magna
Charta. and it influence on the growth of
civil liberty."
Tlie meeting concluded with a number of
amusing historical sketches by memliers of
the club.
Ciught Napplug.
The Time, as is well known, has a slight
tendency to claiming the honor of first pro
posing about everything brought up in
council, or which In any other manner
comes before tlie people. When such mat
ters become an accomplished fact, the Time,
with its traiiscendant gall, says it "did it
with its little hatchet." Occasionally, it
gets left. In other words, it is too slow in
"proposing," "calling attention,"' etc. A
notable case occurred In council Tuesday
night. Win. It. Hurnett, member from the
First ward, is the lucky man to head off the
Time fiend. In its wildest dreams, the
C. V. T. never for a moment suspected
that it would dare propose granite pave
ments. So Hill Hurnett had a clear field
and the Timcx man was knocked silly,
when he found what a "discovery" he
might have made. Hut he came out like a
little man the next day and never made a
whimper. And the world do still move.

The Pittsburg iTimnlrlr Trlnjrn ;)i gives
the following additional- account of the
murder of William Heath by hi brother-
in-law, Lewis I Iainuier. of tills city. Two
Voung men entered the headquarters of the
iKiIice in Pittsburg. The younger wote the
pallor of death and s .'tins I much agitated.
An otlicer was standing at the door.
"Cood morning." nnl the one who. from
the color of in face, seemed to Ik- ill. "My
name is Hamuiers, and I want to give my
self u p."
"What: tlie man that killed Heath?" ex
claimed the olheer Hammers made no re
ply, hut simply liMikisi at the olheer. The
latter told Hammers to come inside, and
showing him into the office of chief of )o
lice. Murphy, lold him to take a chair. He
did so, and in a moment. Chief Murphy,
wliowas in the mayor's office, was informed i

ing his n line, and leeeivmg a snnplj affirm
ative in reply.
"Very well." said the chief. "I will go
with you to Pittsburg in a minute." The
chief. Hammers and his friend were ac
cordingly soon on their way to the Pitts
burg mayor's office.
Louis Hammers, as he appeared this
morning, seemed to tie about thirty years of
age. He was cleanly sliaved and ve'y gen
teel in apiiearance. wore plain dark clothes
and a black gondola hat. He is about five
feet eight iueliis, in higlit. well-built and
dark-complexioned. It was evident that lie
had siient a sleepless night and one of
dreadful anxiety, for the evidences were
plainly to be seen uixin his face. It I
stated that he had a consultation with his
employers at the Tw in City Hindlug com
pany, whose place is at 4'.' reileral street,
Allegheny, and that it was through their
aihice lie gave huiiself up.

Tlie little saloon, m front of which the
murder occurred last night, was surrounded
with quite a large crowd of the people liv
ing in tlie neighborhood, when Coroner
Palterson drove out tin morning at ll:o0
o'clock to hold an inquest. Tlie door was
locked, so that the crowd could not fill up
the house too much, and the coroner im
paneled a jury from some of the neighbor.
The jury witli the coroner were taken up
the stairway from the sal, .on to tlie. room
111 which the dead man was ijing. Mrs.
Heath, though pale and haggard-looking,
talked cheerfully and Ixire up well under
the bereavement. "She has a wonderfully
strong command over herself." remarked
her brother, in reply to a question trom the
reporter. "She fwls it all the same,
though." A very little testimony was taken,
the coroner stating that he would adjourn
the inquest till tomorrow afternoon at.!
o'clock. It will lie held at the coroner's
oflice. In the meantime a post-mortem will
be held.
TflK IlKfhMI.VNT's AN rKCKIlKNT.
A brother of the accu-ed murderer stated
to the rejKirter that the family had never
any idea that any such trot-die would take
place. "My brother wa the kindest boy I
ever knew, and would share the last cent
with any one of the family. He had a bad
temper when lie got anry, but it was soou
over. My brother-in-law w as a hard man
to get along with He was of Canadian
birth and didn't like the Dutch. He was
always going on about our being Dutch.
We were preparing to move away to Mill
vale and were packed up. When my
brother-in-law found out we were going to
leave he went down to a grocery man where
we owed a small bill and told him he had
better look out for us, as we were going to
skip out and h had Utter
Look in t mi; ills vioxky.
This made us very angry for we had no in
tention of leaving the bill unlaid. My
brother-in-law was of a quarrelsome di-iKH
sition, and it Was his fault. The papers
said this morning that Iuis had run down
stair after the killing and told father that
he had killed Hill. He didn't say auvthing
of the kind. 1 don't think that he knew
that he had killed his brother-in-law. His
first impulse was to run, and he did. I
went out with a neighbor, and tried to hnd
him afterwards, but'uf course he was gone
It is a bad affair all around, and has
brought great sorrow on us."

It was shortly after s o'clock when Him
iiien entered the office of the Twin City
Bookbinding company, whose placeof busi
ness is in the old iluli building. Federal
street, Allegheny, and where he has been
employed for almost six months. Mr.
Isaacs, one of the firm, was present when
he entered, and was surprised at in ap
iiearance. supposing that he had, of course,
tied the city.
"Are you going to work this morning?"
inquired Mr. Isaacs.
"No: I have been hiding from the poliee
all night and have come to ask your advice
in the matter." said Hamuiers. The two
then went into the office and Hamuiers nar
rated the story of the killing m detail, ad
mitting his guilt. The storv was told in
confidence, however, and Mr. Isaacs was
unwilling to repeat it.
"Till! Wf VI'I.X I -Fl."
said Mr. Isaacs, "was what we call an
eraser, and was for the same pur-iose as the
common eraser found on every desk where
much writing is done. It was a very light
one. however, and used by Hammers when
he had occasion to trim an edge off paper.
Hammers alvvay earned tin in one of his
vest pockets. I am sure that he did not go
home last nifiht with the jinr-iose of com
mitting the fatal assault. Heaml mys-lf
left the oflice here about ii o'clock last even
ing and walked at ross the bridge together.
After leaving him in the city I did not see
him again until this morning. He was al
ways of a quiet dis-iosition. but I believe if
he was imposed uKin it would lie found that
he was no coward: 1 do not believe, how
ever, from what 1 know of him. that he
would become enraged to jierforiii an act
such as he did without great provocation.

! THE CANTATA CF DANIEL.
Handsome Ifenilltlon of the Work at th
Congregational Church IjiHt Night.
The supreme severity of the weather did
not prevent a good-sized audi'-nce from as
sembling at tlie Congregational church last
night, to listen to tlie religion cantata ol
"Daniel." 1 he work is by tlie well known
choral writer and arranger. Ceorge F. Knot,
and is replete witli sterling music of the
substantial type, varied at no infrequent in
tervals by solos, duet and chorus of muci
brilliance and beauty. In one or two in
stance, indeed, the theme is suggestive ol
a grand opera finale, but not to the degre of
lieiug objectionable in consideration of tin
tone and character of the work.
The argument of the cantata is foundei
on well-known Hible history, most interest
ing. The scene Is laid m ancient Habvlon.
and deal with the captivity of the Jews
Part first relate to the casting into tlie hen
furnace the four princes of Israel, Daniel
Azarlah, Itanuaniah, and MMiacI. because
of their refusal to worship the king's golden
image: of their escape, unharmed, from tin
terrible llame. and of the consternation of
the king and his giving praise to the "Co.!
of Israel."-
The second part is the history of Daniel.
The king havingappointed Daniel to le the
firt president of the realm, the Persian
presidents, princes and governors become i
I ...
jealous, and enter into a conspiracy to df-
',.,,.
troy iianiei. i ney agree to ask of tht
king, that for a spice of thirty days no man
I shall offer any prayer or petition to any one
j save the king, under penalty of being cast
, alive Into the den of lions. The brave Dan
iel was aiscov ered by his enemies praying
' to God, according to his custom, and com
plaint was made to the king. The king
, loved Daniel, and was filled with grief at
'his Inability to save him from the
I execution of the decree, but the Per
. sjan latv was inexorable, and Daniel was
cast Into the den of lions. Hut early in the
morning tlie kinz went down to the den
lions and called for Daniel, and. to his creat
surprise, he wa answered from within, '
that Daniel was unharmed. The king then J
ordered him to be brought out. and his ae- '
cusert to be punished. This part closes
with praise to the God of Israel for his '
IKivver and goodness.
Part third is an account of the departure ,
of the Jews on their return to Ju.lea, they
hav ing received permission fnim the king
to return to the land of their fathers, as a
reward from God for their repentance from j
tneir sins ami tlicir return to Hun: also of
the farewells of tlie king and queen, and
their regret at parting, closing with tlie1
song of freedom and restoration to their
native land.
The production was most admirable
throughout. The soloists of the evening.
as previously announced, were: "King"
(bass), T. J. Thomas; "(uecn" (soprano).
Miss Lizzie Payton: "Daniel" ihuritonei, i
II. II. Hendley, "Azarlah" (tenor). Hallie '
F lioggess; "Azanah's Sister" i mezzo so- '
prano). Miss lxittie ZuLivern: "Second I
President." Charles E. Folgen "Hmdi
President," George II. Mellen; Baritone i
Solo, hd A. ray. Each one did so well
that discrimination would be unjust. The'
ladies were esieclally sweet-voiced. Of the i
gentlemen, Mr. Hogge-) i possessed of an
ex'ellent tenor, and Mr. Thomas of a bass
w h xe deep and ponderous timbre at once
attracts attention. Messrs. Fay. Hendley.
Folger and Mellen sang very satisfactorily.
The choral work was particularly good, the
attack, balance and sustained tone being
excellent Careful work in rehearsal haa
evidently been e.x-Hended on the production,
and much credit is due E. K. Cheney, the
director. Miss Mary Nelson's excellent
and Intelligent piano accompaniments added '
much to the entertainment
The church realized very handsomely
j from the ierformance, but a detailed state
ment of profits cannot yet be made, as many
who sold tickets have not yet reported, and
many who purchased remained away on ae-'
count of the cold weather. j
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. ;
Johnny Fnrrell Ila.llj VVouncle.t In the
sihuuhler hj the Accidental DischalK"
of a Kllle.
A very bad case of accidental shooting
occurred between 0 and 10 o'clock this foie
noon at the saloon and grocery kept by Mrs.
Mary Biggins at 252 east .Main street At
that hour, a young man named John
McFilin was standing by the counter,
handling a rifle. Several little boys
among whom was a lad named John
ny Farrell, were standing about the door.
Farrell had hi back to Biggins who ad
vanced toward the door, with his eyes fixed
on the weapon, which, without hi know I-1
edge. was cocked. Whether Mc
Filin slipped, or whether the rifle'
accidentally struck something is not known: '
but at all events tliere was a flash and a re-'
port and young Farrell-fell to the ground
with a piercing shriek.
Every body was badly frightened, but as
soon as K)ssibIe the injured boy w a con
veyed to tlie office of Dr. T. M Heade, not
far away, where the latter made an exam- '
ination of his injuries. It was found that I
the ball had entered the right shoulder from
behind, a large gaping hole under the left I
shoulder-blade showing where the bullet
had entered. Dr. Heade probed for the I
ball, but was unable to hnd it He is of the
impression that It has lodged under the
shoulder-blade and has not entered the lung i
at all. No serious result from the accident I
are anticipated, but it is iuiiossibIe to fore-
tell the outcome of the accident until after '
the period of inflammation ha passed, i
The injured boy was conveyed to his home
