LATER REPORT. •The triple tragedy enacted last Thureday morning at the Morrison homestead is still the topic of con• vereation. Morrison, the poor, de- mented nwirderer, is the possessor of a good farm, free from all encum. brance, and as in fact very well off. Ho enjoyed the respect of all his neighbors and is well oonneeted, Friday eveuing he lay in a darken- ed room, hanging between life and death, with the mark of Oain on bus brow, In the next room were the bodies of his .three little children, murdered by his own hand. At the back of the bed lies the eldest of the dead children, a bright little girl named Arabella, 7 year,: of ago. At the front is Thomas James, 6 years of age, and between the two lies William Edgar, aged 2 years. A TAUI WITH TITh ,110TRER. The heart -broken mother is an intelligent woman about 95 years of age, being much younger than her husband, whoae age is given as 64. Mrs. Morrison spoke In kindly terms with reference to her husband. SIM 'said he was a kind husband and an indulgent father, and, she could not imagine what led him to commit such a terrible crime. She said he had been ill during the past month, and 1)1151 very often he was, despondent and would tell her that he could not recover. He had never been confined to bed, but ap-' pealed to be melancholy and dem- 'plained about a pain in his head. Leet week he told his wife that he 'was trembled about what would be- come elate three youngest children in case anything happened to them. He evidently bad the idea that he wale leavlug property enough to support hie -wife and the two eldest children, and solved the problem by murdering hie favorites. • • '111E P611111111, Dr. Norton examined the un- happy man's pulse, and while doing sa Morrison, said.: "Doctor, dou't be bothering mil. 1 alp going soon.

Dr. Norton then asked htin the following questions : "Tore, do you remember what you did lost night ?" "Dill you go to bed last night ?"

An exceedingly practical temPer. anoe Ieoture was preached to"the freight handlers at one of the stations of the Pennaylvania rail road a short time ago, says the New York Tribune. The result is that smolt loan now wears a blue ribbon and all mysterious looking mike and barrels which are put off at that station and for which there are no kis own owners are left eevere ly alone. A few months ago there came lo bhis place by express a big • barrel, unaccompanied by anything and having no mark by whioh the owner or its destination could be learned. There was an odor of whiskey about it, and it looked euspioiously like a whiskey barrel. A. tracer was sent over the road, but nothing could he learned as to where it came from, to when it was going or by whom it was owned. It stood on the platform for a few days until it became a nuisance. The freight -handlers eyed it rather longingly but could not get at it while it was in that conspicuous place. By the order of the station agent the barrel was taken to the loft of the store room to wait for a possible owner who might turn np some time in the future. It had been there for two or throe menthe when one of the express companies' men went to the station agent and tolyl him he was looking for a bar rel of a!oohol with two skeletons in aide of it. The station agent remembered the mysterious barrel and took tee searcher to the loft.. Ile immedi• Maly identified the barrel as the one whioh he was looking for. A, Wok from his foot produced a hollow mound, followed by the rattling of some dry objects inside. A closer examination showed that numerous gimlet holes had been made in the head, and that the holes had boss plugged up with matobee.• The station agent sent for the freight -handlers to have them come to the loft and help take the barrel down. "It's empty," faltered one of the men. "Yes, I know ; but I want to see the inside of it," said the express agent, at the same time breaking in the head of the barrel w1111 an axe. Out tumbled the two ekelebons, to the horror and dismay of the freight - handlers. They were dumb -found. ed and fled from the loft instantly. Not one of the men turned up for work for three days. All sent round word in the morning that they were sick. When they did come back each wore a blue' ribbon, and they haven't singe been known to tape a drink of whiskey. :Un- claimed freight is absolutely safe at that atetion now. iiieuersti 1V©wow.
