A lleinarkuble Rescue Erik, Pa., Feb. 5.— Pennsylvania Mills, on the Ohio and Pennsylvania State line, *ii the scene of a terrible murder last night. Tne murderer is Charles Boshall, and the victim his baby stepchild. The scene of the tragedy is in a lumber camp owned by Hon. Alfred Short, of North East. Boaball reported yesterday morning that one of the children bad died of cronp by choking to death tnddenly. Boshall had been known to treat the children of his wife in the mostbrntal manner and his report of the child's death was received with suspicion. When the child was being dressed for burial evidence of fonl play were so marked that Justice Wells was culled in, and when he came he brought a pos»e of determined men, for Bot-bitll was the terror of the place. At the inqnext Bnxliall changed his acco unt of the child'* death and said it had smothered during the night, which was very cold. When his wife was asked to take the stand she was terrorized and positively declined until Boshall was taken from the room. The demon glared at the woman savagely and had to be forced from the room. The poor woman then slated that her husband had killed the child. It had fretted during the early part of the evening and vexed her husband so much that he seized it by the feet and beat it against the head of the bed and then seizing it by the throat held a pillow over its face till it was dead. He then seized his wife and placing a dirk-knife over her heart made her swear the most terrible of oaths that she would never reveal his crime. Boshall married his wife, whose former name was Ferguson, in New York State shortly after coming out of State's piisnn for the murder of a man in the lumber regions of that Comonwealth. Ho alleges that nis wife came from the Pnor-houso. The poor woman is insane with grief and from ihe etfeets of the terrible scene. The murderer is in irons in his cell to-night and will go before the gramljury to-mrorow. Before March 1, '86. "The railroads have not adopted the rnle requiring limited tickets to be nsed only for continuous train rides, without excellent reasons. Tlie roads have no desire to prevent passengers from stopping over at places along their lines. On the contrary, they have heretofore made it as convenient as possible for people to do this very thing. But bow has the traveling public shown its appreciation of the courtesy! Simply by trying, in every possible way, to swindle the railroads when ever they saw a chance. A man wants to go to Buffalo—what does he dof Buys a tickets to Chicago, and when he gets to Buffalo sells the unused portion of hit. ticket to a scalper. The railroad is doub ly cheated. First, it carries the original swindle to Buffalo for less than it takes a passenger who is too honest to indulge in tlie luxury of cheating the railroad; and second, it carries another man lrnn Buffalo to Chicago at less than tbe regular rate. The posted traveler, who cannot arrange to buy mere tickets than lie intends to use never thinks of fining to the railroad office for the tickets he wants. He patronizes tbe scalper, and helps that one to skin the railroad. So it goes, the railroads by au extension of courtesy have been victimised and robbed by the traveling public. The everyday traveler at all times has bis eyes open to the chance to beat the public. And so widely lias the influence spread that even staid, honestgoing people who travel only occasionally, have come to think it. quite the thing to deal entirely with scalpers, and assist in whatever'.swindle may bo necessary to effect a saving for themselves of a few dollars. We are glad that the railroads have decided at last, to protect themselves from the dishonesty of people who claim to bo more than respectable."

Terrified to madness, the crew iorced their way on deck, lowered a boat and rowed away. The ship was consumed. The crew wandered at sea for a week before they were picked up.

El Palo, Tex., Feb. 5.—The feeling in Arizona and New Mexico in favor of the summary execution of Geronimo, the Apache Chief, and the surviving members of his blood-thirsty band is rapidly growing into a demand. Reports received here from various portions of the two Territories depredated by the savages plainly indie.tate that the people are deeply roused and will oppose the usual course putiuaded by the military authorities in allowing renegads to return to their reservations unpunished. They will demand that the same punishment be meted out to Geroimo and his followers as Riol and his leading malcontents received at the hands of the Canadian Government. Petitions will be sent to Washington insisting that Geronimo and his followers be tried for murder under the local laws of the Territories wherein his crimes were committed. The dreaded Apache Chief evidently expects the same privileges extended to him as were granted his predecessors. He has faith in the humanity of the Gen. Cook and other leading 011106111 of the army. He has already been provided with clothing, is well fed and cared for, and has expressed a desire to bo returned to the San Carlos Reservation as soon as possible. Careful estimates place the number of settlers who were butchered by these incarn - ate fiends during their last raids at 170. Many of the killed were women, having highly respectable connections in the Kast. Mrs. Reathor, who was tortured and then butchered near Deming, was once a leading society lady in Sedilia, Mo. If the penpie of New Mexico aud Arizona arc permitted to have their way, Geronimo and his followers will hang. It is estimated that the jowels that are to be sold will produce $10,000,000. Some that are of historic interest will go to the Louvre collection. The gems of artistic and educational interest, valued at 13,000,000 Iruucs, will be handed to the Museum an I School of Miues.
