Fifteen Tears Old, Lured Little Percy Lockyar to the Wood. Vi here He-'Brutally ' Killed " Htm aud Threw His Body Into a Creek, Philadelphia, Jan. 17. The body of 5- year-old Percy Lockyar, who is believed to have been murdered on Friday night by 15-year-old Samuel Henderson, was yesterday found in the bottom of "Red- dies", creek, Sixtieth- and Catharine streets,! WestPhHadelphia,. and there seems little doubt in the. minds of the police that yi-ung Henderson is gui,lty of the crime.-- He is now locked up in a cell at police headquarters. v The bpdy of - the ichild, when found, was weighted? bv two heavy, stones, one about his necit and ..the other around his ankles; "His skull was .crushed in and there was a knife thrust Just above the' heart and similar wounds on his breast, side and forehead, while on one s!de of the face is a long cut, extending from below the eye to' the chin. - From what the police have been able to learn thej crime seems. to have been one of the most horrible character, and if all its details are . true . It stamps young Henderson as a degenerate of the worst type.! . He does not seem to realize the enormitv of his crime. On Saturday, after his arrest,' he- told this story of the' killing: . . ' "1 found Percy Lockyar at "play with -several companions In front of the West End sehoolhouse, and induced him to walk across the fields to the woods In search of,, 'piggies' to ; play hocky wiflvv After" coaxing him for some time he agreed'to go, and we went together. - ". 'f ' . ."1 was standing at Ihe foot of a hill oh the side;of which, half way up, Percy was at play.'- I was whittling a stick. The creek: was Just behind me. All of a sudden I got tired of whittling ajnd stopped, holding, my knife against yiy hip, blade outward. Just then 1 saw Percy, running down the hill at full speed. I had been bending ' over, and just as I straightened up Percy struck me and "ran squarely upon the knife, It pierced his heart. He fell over back ward, and didn't speak again. His legs 'twitched once or twice.- I. was scared i'because I thought 1 had killed him, and picked the body up and carried it to the creek, .where I tumhled it into the water and went home." " Yesterday,-however, when shown the mutilated body of the child he admit ted thajt he was responsible for those cuts as well, but he still persisted that it was "an accident: " C The police, however, believe it . was a planiedniirder, In whch the guilty -one also purposfeu ending tne are 01 an other small boy, Willie Addison, aged 7 years. Henderson, it is plaimed, has been. reading trashy novels of the wild western . stamp, and has shown a , de sire, to emulate the "hero" of . those tales. :The police assert that Hender son accompanied Lockyar and Addison 'to the woods, as he told on Saturday, but instead of any accident happening to either Henderson tied, both children to a tree. Wddison broke away and ran home. It was then, it Is said, that young Lockyar's death was accomplish ed. Dr. Morton;, the coroner's physi cian, who examined the thrust 'above the heart, said that it caused the 'death of the little fellow. The police searched for the body during all of- Saturday night, and it was not until after day light yesterday morning that It was found. . A fact that has come out in connec tion with; Henderson's alleged crime is" that his father, John D. Henderson was on trial . berore .. Judge Keed, in Octjotxer. 1892, charged with . killing man named Christopher Nelson. ' The killing was tfce outcome of a quarrel, Henderson, when arraigned, pleaded guilty', to manslaughter. He was r manded for sentence, but sometime later it was shown thatthe-death was largely accldeatjai. and there was no murderous intent He was admitted to bail, and Is now a free man . The murder of young Lockyar recalls Wne crime, earl v in the 7l7s. of Jesse Pomeroy; now serving : a' life sentence in " .the; Massachusetts state prison Pomeroy, then 15 years old, lured a 4 year-old . boy to the meadows back of South Boston, and there stabbed the little one to death with" a jackkntfe. The , child's - body- was ;, covered with wounds, and his. little hands were cruelly . hacked, showing that he .had held' them before him in an effort to ward off the .- cruel stabs. ; ' .

Every bit of roll ing stock that can be put to that pur pose is beipg used for hauling freight. A llttleover a year ago the people of. West Virginia were poor. They were in debj all around.

A SnppOfcd Inspired Article In Which It Is Asserted That tne Coexlfttence of the Vatican and the Italian Mon archy Is Impossible. , " tendon, Jan. 15. The- Rome corre spondent of Tne Dally Chronicle, in a startling statement this morning, quotes largely from an article In Civilta Catto lica, which, he declares, is directly in spired' by the Vatican and the pope, ad-, vocating as the solution of .tbe eternal questUn between the Vatican and th quirinal the establishment of an Italian republic. The article, which is based on the pope's Christmas allocution, dey clares that the thing which stands op posed to papal independence is "not Italian unity, but "the special and con crete form wherein that unity Is at present maintained, with results much more disastrous to the state .than to the Holy. See." It proceeds to assert that the coexistence of the Vatican and thtalian monarchy is impossible, and "that one or the other must go. It then suggests the constitutions and citfes jof Switzerland and America as examples of "admirable and glorious constitu tions, true unities of nation and state. though differing from that of Italy, which has produced nothing but weak ness, misery and starvation." The article coricludes: .."Without the aid of foreign bayonets the true Italy will find for itself its own way and will rise again, let" us hope, from the ignominy in which it now lies prostrate to true greatness." The Daily Chronicle's correspondent asserts, that this is an intentional revelation to the outer world of the policy actuating the inner mind of Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary of state. . Probably there would be no trvlth In the supposition that . either Cardinal Rampolla or the pope has any idea 6f even a temporary alliance with the republican party, but yet they be-, lieve that, "while peace with the king is impossible, it might be possible with a republic. The reason for the appear ance of this astounding pronouncement ;at the' present moment is the belief that not only the ministry, but the dynasty itself is menaced more sefiously than usual." THE WORK OF CONGRESS. Civil Service Jn the House and Hawaii In the Senate.' In senate executive, session Tuesd4y t last week Senator Davis, of Minnesota, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, made a strong speech in ad- vCeacy of" the annexation of Hawaii. In the open session of the senate the pensions qommittee reported adversely a bill to grant a pension of $100 a month each to the two daughters of the late General George Goraon Meade. The civil service debate .which was begun in the lower hous of congress; on Tuesday, of last week was continued until Tuesday of this week, and then the debate was suspended by a tie vote. it requiring the vote of Speaker Reed to determine the matter. There is no doubt; that an effort to amend the law will be made in the near future, though the Democrats will support nothing short of absolute repeal of the measure. On Wednesday Senator Davispon- cluded his speech in the senater-stroiigly urging Hawaiian annexation as of para mount imDortancelh the event of. a conflict jieiween Oriental powers or with this country.
