Petersburg, Ind., Ky 20. A horri
ble tragedy occurred about one mil
oath of this place, resulting in the
death of William Johnson and Lafe
Sprinkles. There were no witnesses to
the terrible tragedy enacted by them.
Tbey had been in town all day, in the
saloon drinking freely. They started
for their home together in Sprinkle's
DnSgy. about 8:iW o'clock, An hour
later Joanna Dean noticed a horse and
buggy come np to his gate and stop. He
went out and was horrified to find the
lifeless body of Johnson on the seat ot
the buggy, his head renting
ou the cushion. Blood was flowing
freely from two pistol shot wounds. In
the bottom of the buggy were two re
volvers, from one of which one shot
bad been fired and from the other four.
Bot revolvers were concealed within
handkerchiefs, which were partially
burned. - This fact indicates that the
horrible deed must have been premed
itated by both men and the weapons
concealed before starting.
Dean immediately aroueed a neighbor
and they together, went back over the
road. They came upon the body of
Sprinkles by the roadside, where he had
fo lien from the buggy. He was suffer
ing intensely from a mortal wound in
the chest. A physician was summoned,
but Sprinkles died shortly after his ar
rival. He was conscions up to the time
of bis death, but would say nothing
about the cause of the tragedy,
A Mother' Awful Work.
Harlan, la., May 26. Mrs. Christen
Pederson, a Danish woman, and her four
children, whose ages ranged from three
to ten, were found hanging in the cellar
of their house near here. It is thonght
they hud been hanging there since
'Wednesday. Her husband was sent to
the insane asylum about a week ago.
Mn. Peterson lived on a farm just
outside the city with her family, con
sisting of two boys and two girls. Since
her husband was sent to the asylum
little attention was attracted to the fam
ily until Sunday when a neighbor, who
had noticed no appearance of life about
the place for three or four days, de-
termined to investigate. The cellar
was visited. There the bodies of the
woman and her four children were
hanging. Mrs. Pederson and her chil
dren were banging by ropos from one of
the beams of the house. A little girl
aged about 4, hnng with her toes just
touching the ground; near her was her
sister, a 10-year-old child, hanging from
the timber; a boy of 9, with one knee
touching a wash-tab on which he had
stood, was near by, and his brother, a
year older, hung so low that his feet al
most touched the earth. Near him the
mother, half . kneeling, was seen. All
were quite dead. The children and
mother were all neatly dressed, but
none wore shoes. Their feet were cov
ered only with stockings.
Mrs. Pederson left a letter telling of
her financial affairs, speaking of $ 150 in
the bank, held by her, and (13 in silver
in the house. This money is to be used
in burial. Other Krtions of the letter
relate to farm matters, she stating that
the place is paid for and that nothing
can be held against it. Mrs. Pederson
is not known to have had any trouble
other than the confinement of her hus
band in the insane asylum.

At the Richelieu no additional informa
tion can be secured, everybody being In

was told that the duel had been fought,
but he positively declines to state who

on that part of the tale. '

BARDSLEY'S BAWKER3.

Uffie Car Hta Health,
Philadelphia, May 23. The special
committee of councils investigating th
city depositories met Francis W,
Kennedy, president of the suspended
Spring Garden bank, testified that ho
had paid Mr. Bardsley i to 4 per cent
interest on deposit averaging $300,000.
This money was deposited to the credit
of John Bardsley, trustee, but the wit
ness understood that the money belonged
to the state. Mr. Kennedy made the
rrpTjsingjtainent thaj oj the morn
ing of the bank s suspension He snt to
Bardsley 917,000 worth of collateral
which covered the amount deposited in
the bank to Mr, Bardsley's private ac
count There is at present a note of
Bardsley's for $13,000 among the bank's
collateral When the fact was called
to Mr. Kenned y attention that he had
sent 4",000 to a man who was indebted
to the bank for SI5.000 he said he must
have overlooked this fact at the tune.
John W. MofHey, president of the Man.
ufacturers' National hank, testified that
his bank had allowed Bardsley an inter
est of 3 per cent on his individual ac
count which, however, he (MofHey) be
lieved to be state funds. The bank also
discounted Bardsley's paper and now
holds his note for $3,500. A number of
other bank officials testified that
although they had discounted Bards
ley's paper they had given him no more
accommodation than any other depos
itor that had never paid interest. The
finance committee of the councils met
and were presented by the city comp
troller with a list of the due bills held
by Bardsley from the Keystone bank.
There are fourteen of these due bills
and they aggregate on their face
115,000.
