At alate hor Sunday evening Bellevue, a suburb of Scranton, was (hows saw # state of the most inter-e excitement, owing tothe ra- wor that wo brothers, named Kerrigan, were -ufhocaring in an old well frty feet deep, charged with ff air. A large crowd of persons con- geegated at the mouth of te well, some peer- ing into its detk, deadly recesses, while the women ran to and fro, wa‘ling aud wringin, their hands, exclaiming that the brothers ha: perished. it seems that Pateick, one of the the brothers, d-seended to clean the well, and was overcome by the noxious gas and fainted awn, + brother, Michael, almost by a ion, bretervatural insight, learned of his condit! and hastened down to his assistance, when foo, tainted from the effects of the foul gas. Some persons who saw him descend, not seeing bim return as soon as expected, looked down the well, but no sound or sign of jifecame up, and immediately the news spread like fire on a parched prairie, until hundreds. from the city docked to the scene, yet no one volunteered to descend. Drs. Fisher and O’Brien, of Scran- ton, happened to pass at the time, and they cut down clothes lines, from which a cable was im- provised strong enongh to draw up two or three men. At.length a young man namen Golding volunteered to go down and itch if ‘ible the perisbing brothers from the jaws of death. His conduct drew forth a hearty cheer. The rope was firmly fixed under bis arms, and he was provided with another to fix around one of the brothers Kerrig: ok he was lowered, while the multitude were mute in breathless suspense. At length he was drawn to the surface accom- panied by Michael Kerrigan, around whom he succeeded in fastentng therope. Kerrigan was evidently lifeless. Golding, much exhansted, was lowered again. He adjusted the rope around Patrick, but in drawing him to the surface the noose slipped trom his shoulders to his neck, ard in this condition he was drawn to the top; w he presente dall the symptoms of strangu- lation eyes were ovicuding, his li por: p Res- le, and the bleod oozed from his mouth. promptly applied and both he, toratives were brothers carried in an apparently lifeless con- diou to their homes, where they still lie in a critical state.

The three found Carter and induced him to go with them to the cree... On the way Anderson and Hooper pro- posed to Hicks,that they make away with Carter.

The then dragged Carter to deep water, and held him under. Hicks says that as soon as he saw they were determined to kill Carter he ran away. He doesn't know how the cuts came on Carter's body, but affirms that while the boys were armed with knives, they had not used ‘them up to the time he ran away. He, moreover, says that the woman Newell told them that it was no more of a sin for them to Fill Carter than it was r soldiers to shoot each other in battle.

Her sufferings were terri- bie and indeseribable, her screams being heard at adistance of :everal suares. She continued sick bout a week, when she died. She changed color and was quite emaciated after death, :o much so that her best acquaintances could not recognize her. ‘The indignation of the citizens a: first ran very high against Hottenstein, and he, together with a woman named Manderbach have since been bound over to answer at court ior the offence, the former in $500, aud the latter in 3200 bail.

HOW HE MANAGES A BOY. Boys! What a world of badness is suggested by the word ** boys.” ‘There are no good boys. Some boys are worse than other boys, but they are all bad. There are mule-wrestlers, horse- bree ‘ers, lion-tamers, snake-charmers, plenty of them. The world is full of such people. But the man or woman who can train a boy, and conquer him with kindness—The only way it can be done—is a first-class pamscony & Some have even believed that a boy cannot be tamed or trained, But thisis a mistake. There is an old policeman called * Bijah,” in Detroit, who is an infallible boy trainer. The old’ man must have a good heart. A late tough case that came into his hands shows that there is a heap of ‘human nature” in him. He is a jan- itor at the station, and a partof his busiress'is to ne and entertain neryous children that are rought in lost, or strayed, or stolen, or other- wise abused by this pretty tough world on chil- ren. They come to him howling with terror or pain, and he has a regular system of pacitica- tion. Candy and peanuts generally do it, but there are many cases that these simple mears will not reach. Then he tries throw: ing them up ard catching them, if they are very small, ding them on his foot if they have arrived at a goud jolting age. Whistling and singing will reach and modify some dispositions, and so on. “Bijah” has never been known ‘to fail. But the other day he got hold of a little chap that taxed all his resources, and was very near proving that ome boys would’nt manage. This Eine way he did it, as described by the Detroit Free Press: He was brought in howling and kicking, and be turned trom the sight of a stick of pepper- mint candy with @ hoop and a yell. Bijab then tried whistling, but the young reprobate spit on him and whooped the louder. Otfersot pop and soda water were responded to by well-aimed kicks, and he wasn’t to be taken in by the di_- play of a big jack knife or a bunch of keys. Vhen all these things tafled, and the boy con- tinued to dance up and downand how! aud spit, Bijab kindly put the hose on the penstock and offered him the pipe. He threw it down and Wasso mad that he got white around the mouth. hen he was offered the city directory, an insur- ance picture ot Washington crossing the Dela- ware, and a one-wheeled cart which had been brouglit in from the alley, but he lay flat on the floor, and hissbrieks set everybody's hair on end, For more than one hour Bijah racked his brain to tind means to make that imp shut up, and by and by be bit upon the thing. Pouring a pail full Of water into the gutter, he madea Eon pond, and then he bent a pin into a hook, ot a stick and piece of string, and seated the Boy on the eurtstone. “The young rat begun to hold in a little ashe saw preparations going for- ward, and when he took the pole and sat down he was as wuiet asa lamb, For two long hours he “bobbed” away in that pond for trout, heav- ing a sigh now and then, but feeling a bite a Jerking up i regularly every ten seconds, ‘and last he tell asleep, lopped over, and was carried in and placed on two chairs, to lie there until called for. jah remarked when the job wasended: ‘He who overcomes a boy is greater than he who kills ten thousand men,”’ CATCHING Fis wiTH NiITRO-GLYCERINE.— One of the means to open the great raft in Ked river, La., bas developed someting of interest tofchermen.
