APTER MAKING AX UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT AT 48 SAULT HE SEEXS TO CLOSE HER LIPS IN DEATH. Barclay Peak, not quite 20 years of age, is con- fined in the Mount Holly, N. J., jail, charged with having shot his cousin, Mary Catharine Anderson @ pretty girl of 16, with whom he was in love, and ‘who is now dying at her father’s home, near Smith- ville, afew miles north of Mount Holly. The cir- cumstances of the finding of the girl early on ‘Tucsday morning down an embankment alongside of the public road leading from Mount Holly to Ayerstown, and the subsequent finding of her lover's pistol 300 yards away, as stated in yester- day’s Stak, led to suspicion of foul play. ‘The dying girlis the daughter of Nathan An- derson, and has been employed by Stratton Colkett, a farmer near Newboid’s Corner. Her uncle, jostah Peak, lives about a quarter of a mile from the place, and her cousia, Barclay Peak, was her acknowledzed lover and companion. On Mon- day evening, aiter refusing supper, she left, the house with a shaw! thrown over her head for a walk. This Was the last seen of her until early on Tuesday morning. - Amos Johnson, a neighboring farmer, and bis son Fred, driving to the mill at Ayerstown, discovered her prostrate form. He found that the girl was alive, but stiff with cold and wounded in the head. Young Fred thought ‘se looked like Katie Anderson, and he hastened across to Colkett’s house and found that the girl had not been home all night. Mr. Colkett returned with him and recognized her. She did not talk rationally, and nothing could be learned from her. She was placed in the wagon and taken to her uncle’s residence and Dr. E. Brown, of Mount Holly, summoned. He ‘came about noon and found the girl still delirious and the wound of a serlousnmature. Jt was a gunshot wound on the lett side of the head one inch above the ear. ‘The frontal bone Was plerced and the Dall lodged in the brain. About daylight on Tuesday morn- ing Mrs. Brewer, a neighbor, went to Colkett’s house to do the family washing. As she turned trom the road to the lane leading into Colkett’s she found a pistol, one chamber of which had been discharged, ’ This she took to Mrs. Colkett’s house, and later Showed it to a young man named Witcheraft, and he recognized it_as the pistol he had traded to Barclay Peak about a week ago. Young Peak, when Kate was brought to his home, expresséd much surprise over the affair, and spent hours at the side of the girl endeavor- ing to learn how it all happened, When pressed to tell how the revolver was found in the lane, he ‘stated that on Sunday Katie was at the house, and he and she spent part of the day at target shoot- ing. When ne took her home that night she insisted onhaving the revolver and he gave it to her, He was not with heron Monday night. He intended to have gone to sce her, but changed his mind. Prosecutor of the pleas, Charles &. Hen Cee Naylor and Constable Carr went to the Peak residence, and on the evidence they fathered arrested Peak and at once gave him a earing. ‘The principal witnesses were Andrew Brewer and bis wife. This man lives at the point where the roads leading to Peak’s house and the Colkett’s meet. He testified that he saw young Peak go by his house on Monday about 7 o'clock. He created a sensation when he stated that Miss Anderson, about a week ous, While at his house, when talking about Peak, said that if a girl would re- Tuse him he would take her life, Mrs, Brewster, Who found aa came in just asthe hearing was being concluded’ and was put upon the stand, She corroborated her husband's statement, except that she altered the words and made the sentence, “He would kill the girl that would refuse him.” On cross-examination she said that the statement Was so startling that she asked her a second time and she repeated it. The accused Young man was seen in a cell in the Mount Holly jail Thursday afternoon, and he made ‘Substantially the same statement that he made to Justice Naylor, adding that he believed Katie had attempted suicide on account of her troubles with her family, After the hearing the Peak family Faised so Much commotion because Barclay had ‘been accus2d that the doctor had the girl removed to her father’s house near Smithville. There she lay unconscious, and her death was hourly ex- pected. She did not utter au intelligent word, and it was feared she would die without telling tue story of her fate. Fortunately for the ends of Justice, late Thursday afternoon Miss Anderson re- rained consciousness long enough to say that eak met her, attempted to outrage her, and then shot her to prevent her from exposing him. The lace where the pistol was found, at the end of ‘he lane, bears evidence of a strusgle, and before the girt had spoken the general impression of those in the neighborhood was that Peak attempted to assault her, and because she resisted he shot her. ‘There were no marks of gunpowder on the side of the face, which are generally found when the pis- tol ts placed near the head, ‘The giri’s condition iast night was unchanged, ——__+e0 A Rattlesnake’s Bite.

Stricken with Blindness, 4 YOUNG MAN WHO WAS SCOFFING AT 4 RELIGIOUS MEETING. A telegram from Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feburary 9, says: Harry Edwards, a well-known young man of this city, has met with a great misfortune. He de- cided last Christmas that he would neither smoke nor chew tobacco and would abstain from all in- toxicants and reform generally. He put bis good resolutions into effect by joining the Salvation Army, There was great rejoicing over his con- version and the young convert was held up a8 an example for others to follow. Up to the Ist of February Edwards was an earnest worker in the ranks of the army, but on that date he fell trom grace and returned to his old way of living. All efforts on the part of the captain and Meutenants of the army to reciaim the sinner were unavailing. On Sunday evening last Harry visited the Salva- tion Army barracksand took ‘a front seat. ‘The army prayed for him and the prodigal son rect rocated by scoffing and laughing.
