t A FAOTP GRIME, Killlriff His Wire and OPwo Children —Tlie Murderer liyaeliod. Intelligence has been received at Lamed* Kansas, from Hodgeman County of a terri- ble crime committed near Maroiia. Borne seven years ago a handsome young woman named Lowber fell desperately Id love with Sam Purple, a inan whose reputa- tion for sobriety and mildness of nature was not by any means excellent. Against the wishes of all to whom* the Jdung woman was in any way connected, they were married and settled down nearMarona. They never lived very happily together, and Pur- plo's viciousnesf culminated Friday morning jn the murder of part of his family and in his own death at the bands of an enraged mob three days later. At the time of the murder his family consisted of se -m persons—him- self, his wife, his wife's sister and four little children, the youngest of whom was only three weeks old, Friday morning his wife arose as usual and prepared, breakfast. She then went to awaken her husband, which so enraged him as to incite him to the heinous crime which soon followed. He sprang vio- lently from his bed arid, seizing his re- volver, shot his wife through the body, from which wound she died at once. The flow born babe was next fired at, with the same result. He next shot and killed an- other of his children. His sister-in laWjMiss Lowbor, was then selected and iired at, the ball passing through the arm and lodging somewhere in the shoulder. As this emptied his revolver he proceeded to load.his shotgun in order to complete the work. A slight mistake in this was the only thing ibat stopped the deadly proceedings. The powder was poured into one barrel; and* by error; the shot into the other. With this he endeavored to blow off the head of another child) but as there was nothing except powder Jn the barrel the child's face was only severe- ly burned by the explosion. A heavy blanket was seized and wrapped round the suffering child, and this was securely boiind by a heavy wire in the hope that he might ac- complish by suffocation what he had failed in with the gun. The child will recover, thdiigk fearfully disfigured about the face. Tho murderer then mounted a horse end started a.TOSS tho fields toward M arena* with the avowed purpose of killing his wife's mother and father. Before he could accom- plish this, however, tbewoUnded young lady iriado her way to the village and iiotifidd tho inhabitants of what had happened, and they hod eongrsgoted for resistance. On see- ing that his plan had been frustrated. Purple hastened to iTetmore and surrendered himself to the authorities. Tnerehewas placed in,jail and sui rounded by a heavy guard. At night a mob of one hundred men went quietly, to the jail and demanded the 1 prisoner, and he was delivered to them with little eefemdny; He Was then taken Back to the scene of bis crime aud hanged teatieej Only one member of the family escaped se- rious in jury-, and that was the murderer's little boy, who had concealed himfelf under His bed when he heard his father coming.

About twenty Hufe and Polos spent Sunday iii drinking, carousing and dancing, and at about 10 o'clock at night engaged in a free light, in which clubs, stones and an axe wore used. The hotise in which the fight started was completely wrecked, and in less than fifteen minutes after the fight bdgan'f tal- ly forty men and womon were in.the street engaged in a fierce 1 hand-to-hand conflict. The borough police force* to the nuinber of six, attempted to quell the disturbance, but their appearance on the scene enraged tho rioters, who drew their revolvers and began to shoot indis .Timinately. Policeman Doyle, who led the force, fell with a bullet in his iie •£* and Joseph Brown, a Pole* received a ball iii the' chest and was subsequently picked up in a dying condition; Two other Poles were injured, one of them being shot through the nose and another sustaining a flesh wound in tho shoiil- der. The policemen were unarmed. After removing Boyle from the field they returned with reinforcements and captured Six of the. rioters, oho of whom was identified as the man who shot Doyle. When the riot was suppressed it was found that, beside the four men who were shot, six were seriously injured by bding beoteu with stones or clubs, and a seventh had his skull crujbed by a blow with an axe. Of those in- jured two are. women, aud one of these was so badly beaten that it was thought she could hot recover. Brown was in a dying condition. It is not known who shot him, although it is cer- tain that he received his death Wound at tho hands of one of his own party* as the police did not fire a shot. The six men arrested were committed to jail without bail pending au investigation* and two otlidrs who are se- riously injured will be arrested m soon as they can be removed from their homes. Blo^JKTATOSa Terrific Explosion of 8,000 Pound! ot Nitro'Glycei'lho. the second terrible explosion since (Turn last in the dynamite factories at Lake Hop- atkong, Morris county, N. J., occurred the other afternoon in the wdrks of Hector, Vi Castro & Co,, better Known as the Fofcite Works, fhe firm employs about 150 men; and in order to guard against just' such a ca- lamity as occurred the various departments are isolated as much as possible in frame building,. The entire works are about half a mile square;. the explosion happened in one of the two mixing houses; In these buildings the nitric acid and glycerine are mixed, and the work is considered the most dangerous in the en- tiro process; . About Z:'40 eight men were working iii the first mixing house, One workman saw a thin wreath of smoke curl up from tho mixing tubs, and crying: \Kiin for your lives!\ he started for tho door. Tho others knew the meaning of the wariimg,aud dropping everything they fled through any menus of exit. The warning came none too soon. Hardly had the men reached the air when ft terrific explosion occurred. Over three thousand pounds of nitro-glycerine swept the frail building from thn earth as a leaf before-a hurricane; and toi'o up the ground iii all di- rectlous; A suffocating, impenetrable eldud of smoke arose, and boforethe terrified work- men could realize what had happened another explosion occurred in a dope mill near by. The second explosion was not so great as tqe flrsti but the neighboring buildings wore de- stroyed. ... • As the cloud of smoke cleared awdr scores. of workmen and farmers rushed from all quarters to help the tihfortunate. One man was killed and a sdoi;e of others were ihjul'ed; Throe or four of the injured are not expected to recover. As near as could be learned the first explosion was the result of spontaneous generation of ilertfc When the men in, the dope mill he».rd the explosion they rat' for their lives, Nitfo.-glycerlue was being \mixed in a ves- sel, and*it is.said, the mixture exploded, owing to the lack of proper attention The scene after the explosion was extremely touching. Mothers, wives and children rushed Irom tho little frame cottages of the workitioh to the spoti waiting and sobbing, fearful lest some dear one was aiudiig the unfortunates. • . The terrific detonations were heard for miles about, aud at Dover) nine miles dis-S tank windows and doors rattled as if uii earthquake had occurred, .The report of. the disaster sooii spread and all the doctors iu tne neighborhood hurried thither. The explosion last June occurred at the works of the American Dynamite Company. About three hundred poluids of dyharriifo were exploded in a mixing house at that tinio and of th,o : ten men who were in the building only about three hundred pounds bf flesh and bonos. were ever recovered; th e timely warning of the workmen yesterday fortunately averted a repetition of the calamity.

Number of Yoiwiff Meii and Women Badly Injured. An explosion occurred in the cigar box manufactory of Henry H. Sheep & Co., 1,704 and 1,70(1 Randolph street, Philadel- phia, the other afternoonj which blew out the rear wall, badly injuring ten or twelve young meiij Women; and girls, and im- perilling the lives of over one hun- dred more. The manufactory is a three- story brick structure, with a depth of 151) feet. The first and second floors wore used as a planing mill and carpenter shop; and on the third floor weie employed about twenty- five girls in pasting paper finingin the boxes. ilust. before the explosion the engineer started up steam by throwing a large amount of sawdust on the firs, and then started to the Bahdolph street front of the building; He says that lie had been there but a few minutes when he was startled by un explosion) which was fol- lowed by the upper portion of the rear wall falling out and tho sjreams of the women in the upper story. Bricks were flying in all di- rections, and in lesstlinnaininnte afterward the whole rear portion of the mill seemed to be in flatnea The greatest excitement existed among tho bauds employed in tile building. fcJome of them ran foi- the stairway loading to tho street, others ran to tho windows, and & few started to dlimb out, but they ware prevented from jumping to the ground \By their companions. In tho meantime the flamesWeiespreadiiJg fiom one floor to another, and crowds, at- tracted by the smoko and the screams of the women, blocked the street) but the excite- ment among them was so great that (hey seemed powerless, for a time to render any assistance.

''Well, youug man, you surely have agood bit of assurnn.o to ask a inan to give his bus- iness away to tho public; but I won't disap- Sbint you, I have treated over 20*000 pa- ents; In common with many eminent phy- sicians, I for years made a close study of the effects of the habits on the system and the organs which they most severely attack; Br* Hall, Dr. IJfeil and Mr. Wilson, whom I hive nientlonei, and hundreds of others equally as export, made many Similar. experiments on their own behalf, We each found that these drugs worked most destructively id the kidneys and liver: in fact* finally destroyed them. I t was then apparent that no cure could be effected until those organs could be restored to health. We recently exhausted the entire range of medical science, experi- menting with all known remedies for these organs, and as the result of these close inves- tigations we all substantially agreed* though following different lines of inquiry* that the most reliable, scientific prepa- ration, was Warner's safe cure; This was the second point in the discovery. The third was our ow>ri private rdfrri. of treat; ment, which, of course, we do not divulge to the public. Every casethat wd have treated first with Warner's sale cure, then with our own private treatment* and followed up again with Warnei''s safe cure for a few weeks, has been. successful. These habits can't be cured without using it. because. the habit is nourished and sustained in the liver and kidneys. The habit can bo kept lip in moderation, however, if free u«e be also made, at the same time* of that great remedy.\ \•Pes it Is a world famed and justly cele-; brated specific! Like inaiiy other physicians, I used to deride the claims made for it, biit I know now for a faet that it is the world's greatest blessing, having sovereign power over hitherto. incurable diseases of the kidneys and liver, and when I have said that, young man, I have said nearly every- thing, for most diseases originate in, or are aggravated by* a depraved condition of the kidneys.\ \People do not realize th.ii, because,.singu- lar as it may seem* the kidneys ibay be in a very advanced stage of docoinposition, and yet owing to the fnct that there are but few? nerves of sensation in them the subject wilt not experience much pain therein. Oh this account thousands of people die every year of kidney disease unknowingly. They have so-called disorders of the head, of the heart and lungs and stomach, and treat them in vain, for the real cause of their misery is de- ranged kidneys, and tliwywere restored to health the other disorders would soou dis- appear. Dr. Stephens's experience, that can be con- firmed, by. many thousands whom he has treated, adds only mure emphasis to the ex- perience df many hundreds of thousands all over the world, that the remedy he refers td is without any doubt tho inost beneficent discovery ever given to humanity.
