The (Til vey Murdor Trial Etifleoce of tin Defense Ruled Out Dy tie Court. THE FINALE APPROACHING SHAFFER LOOKING BADLY AND NOT SO CONFIDENT. DISTRICT ATTORNEY BROWN ADDRESS ES THE JURY SYNOPSIS OF lIIS REMARKS. From the Lock Haven Daily Democrat. THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. STLT. The court room was pretty well tilled this morning, more so than at the lie ginning of any morning session yet The judges, jury, counsel and every one interested in the case were promptly on htm l. His honor,JudgeMayer,announc ed that as long as there were seats back the spectators could n ff be allowed to crowd forward and stand around the railing ; and after all wore seated, the seating capacity of the room was en tirely tilled. After opening the court, Court Crier Crowley announced that al! jurors, except the ones in the box, were discharged from duty this week as well as next. THE DEFENSE OTENED. Attorney for defense waived a formal opening and called John Brosius as their tirst witness : John Brosius sworn : Am one of the County Commissioners. Remember when I went to the scene of Ithe mur der. I was accompanied by Messrs. Grugau, Ilerr and McNaul. We found nothing at scene of murder. About two or three miles from Culvey's we found tracks from road to creek ; near where Mr. Grugan found the gun. (Witness here explained how Mr, Gmgau found the gun.) Found foot prints in soft ground. I measured some of the tracks in the ground, and Mr. McNaul measured some. We compared them and both measured same length, 101 inches. Mr. Abrams then wanted witness to measure Shaffer's shoe, but counsel for Commonwealth asked at torney for defensa to state whether Shaffer wore the same shoes now that he had worn on that Saturday, Sunday and Monday in August. Tne couit decided that unless they had trie same shoes it would nit be eviden re. The defei.se were then allowed to put their eff-r in writing, but the court did not tl.i k it would be evidence. Shaffer seemed t.> it- very much interested iu the prepare ti. n of this paper by hi? counsel. The court ruled the evidence out filing his reason therefore. The attorney for the defense then stated that as the ruled out evidence was their only line of defense they had nothi g turtiier to offer and wduld rest. THE PLEADING BEGUN. The statement of the attorneys for the defense, showing that the testimony was closed,the lawyers began to prepare for their speeches to the jury. District Attorney Brown oj>ened the case on be half of the prosecution by stating that the case they had been sworn to decide involved a crime the gravest known to the law, and as it seemed useless to further argue the matter, it was tlie Commonwealth's duty to explain the facts to the jury, so that they could bet ter arrive at a decision. Mr. B. re marked tha*, as he had promised at the beginning, lie would show the most brutish and hellish deed ever heard of in the annals of crime. All that sur prised biin was that a man, or a being in the shape of a man, could commit such a heartless and cruel act. T1 e theory that Isiah and Nora Culvey bad been murdered early on Sunday morn ing had been proven, from that time they had shown the trail until the time Shaffer had been arrested. lie then ex plained the manner in which the boJie3 were found by Mrs. John Culvey on Monday, and of the alarm given bv her and Charles Culvey, and the arrival of John Culvey and Abram Stein. Then he said, "You may wonder what was the motive. It does not seem to be necessary toehowa motive; but if more than one, it might have been pi u rider, and if only one, it might have been lu3t." Mr. Brown then explained the manner in which the bodies were found, showing that Isaiah lay just as he fell when shot as he had but one wound and was clutching the grass and had a chew of tobacco in his mouth, while Nora undoubtedly was not found as she fell, as the fact that she lay on the broad of her back, with the clothes torn from her person and placed under her, besides the bundle of grass proves. He then showed how her clothes had been torn down in fiont, manifesting the eagerness, impatience and liurry of her violator. Mr. Brown then said : "These facts show one hellish motive for the deed. Another is. Isaiah farm ed a small piece of ground, not having sufficient amount of land to pasture his stock and till the ground at the same time. They allege that Isaiah went out to cut grass for his stock. (Show ing on map where grass had been cut and thick growth of underwood be tween there and the house.) It was al so plausible that Nora was preparing the morning meal. The potatoes had been pared and sliced and she probably was after a bucket of water, at Cherry liun, returning from whence she may have been attacked, and dropped her bucket, running towards lier husband, and crossing Cherry Run. (Which ex cept for this she would not have had oc casion to do.) She was probably over taken and shot. Then it is probable that her husband, coming towards the buildings with his basket of grass, and seeing her lying on the ground dropped the basket and ran towards her body, and in doing this he may have been shot by a person concealed in the thick et, very close to which the bodies were when found. The other motive was plunder, as the facts of the case snow that the house of the victims was found ransacked and in the greatest confu sion. The watch is the clincher in the chain of evidence against the prisoner, as it was there ou Saturday evening as late as six o'clock, hanging on the wall in the Culvty house. The speaker then explained how a person could come to Lock Haven, even if the deed was done as late as nine o'clock on Sunday morn ing, as early as Shaffer got to the pass enger defxit here in this city. We have certainly proved to you that Luther Shaffer <vas there at the time of the murder and that he received some of the plunder, and it is for the defense to show where lie received it, if they car. Mr. Brown then explained the fact of the revolver and shells being of the same calibre and the fact that the re revolver is a live chamlier one ; and the finding of the four empty shells in the house proves that the man that did the deed did not care to lie found on the public road or by-way* with only one cartridge iu his revolver. Then lie went over the fact of his having been seen by Had Allison producing levolver; then by Kolert Billet-and Susan Reese, who saw him on itiOU itain on old coal road. Here Mr. Ilolohan objected to drag ging in outside umttMS. The court de cided that there had been nothing brought in exc pt what was in evidence. Mr. Brown st: ;>•! that he proposed to argue the case manner; in fact it needed no argumeut, and it was not necessary to drag in outside matters as there was too much in the case against the prisoner already. Then stating how Shaffer produced the revolver and how Robby and Miss Reese ran away from him in their I'iiglit, and next showed where he had been seen on Sugar Valley Narrows road on Saturday, at different times, as late as 9.80 p. m. Next he was seen on Sunday going to Kioto's Hotel, getting his dinner. After din ner he is seen in lumber yard showing watches, among them the watch of .John Culvey, which was seen at Isaiah Cokey's house as late as six o'clock Saturday evening, and it was shown bv Shaffer on Sunday evening in lumber yard, be having arrived in Lock Haven four hours earlier. How in the name of God could he have gotten it from any other place but from the house of Isaiah Culvey ? Then the speaker went over the route Shaffer took up the river, and where he sold the Culvey watch, and also where he told a fellow-woikingman that he was not going to "ham mer hemlock knots'' any longer, also telling him or the murder, being the first to tell liiiu of it, and to the re mark that the man ttiat did it should be burned at the stake, lie said, "no, that the man that had sand enough iu the back of his neck to do such a thing should be let go.'' Then he came ba k to Lock Ilaven.but did not stay long,s he found the suspicion was on Luther Shaffer. He then starts back to North Bend, and goes up creek towards Yoik State, stopping at Edgar's and getting his bundle, in which were the two pair of pints—one of which had the stains and the otuer corresponding with the goods in Isaiah Culvey's vest. Then stating on his road to the men at the camp, that he was going to leave the couutry, and finally, when he was arrested he was only forty miles froui the York State line. After lie was ar rested, he said to Mr. Westbrook, "If I bad not got lost in the woods last night, you would not haye me here now." Then he went over the analysis of spots on chemise and pantaloons, and toid the jury the test would be more fully explained to them. He also stated that he had no fear of the result as lie tnougnt lbt-y had shown a chain of cir cumstantial evidence that bound the defendant tighter than any positive ev idence that could bo produced. At the conclusion of Mr. Brown's speech, of which the above is only a hurried synopsis, court adjourned until two o'clock p. ui. When Bby m sick, we pave her Canorta, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, sho clung to Castoria, When she had Children, she gaTc them Castoria, Thou Shalt Not Steal. The people of the United States orig inally sell a certain portion of the land, that all own in common,to Mr. Pioneer, who pays his savings for the privilege of individuality, and thus becomes the owner of that set apart section of the soil. Not caring to improve all that he paid for, he builds a bouse over a por tion of it and lets the other portion re main vacant so that on his own green grass his wife can spread her washing and his child!en can play. Along comes a thoughtless theorist full of love for humanitv, and declares, as does Henry George, that the vacant lot does not belong to its owner. That any man has the right to erect a house, barn, or pig-pen or tent thereon,and oc cupy it during life, simply because the owner is not using it for house purposes. That a man has no right to any more than he needs for the hour to sustain life. Let it go so, because Ilenry George says it. We now find in Henry George's pockets and in a bank that lie has se lected, several thousands of dollars that be c'aims are bis because he gave homelluug for them. But these are more than he needs to subside himself during the rest of his naturnl life. Be ing entitled to more than he can well use, any one, according to his theory, has a right to help himself to Henry's holdings. There stands a barn full of hay and grain. More than the owner of the barn requires for Ins cattle. If the theoiyof Henry George is correct, lie can go into that barn and make his home there, while the owner of the baru sleeps in his own house, and he cJn help himself to all in that barn over and above the amount required to sup port the farmer's cattle for an hour or a day. There is a store. It is filled with the product of labor from a thousand estab lishments, where skilled labor lias in creased the wealth productions of the country. There is more in that vast store-room than its owner can use in a dozen lifetimes. According to the twaddling theory of Henry George, any one can gc in and help himself to all the store-owner is not actually using. What a grand idea is that presented by Henry George. It is a tiitie better than anarchy, as it throws itself, in stead of bombs of dynamite.— Pome roy's Advance Ttwuqht. A California lleaeli. To Kate the beach was a never fail ing attraction. She and (Joodnow now had many a horse race from Castle Rock to the wharf, a good half-mile. . . A mile beyond the wharf the beach la bordered • y a set leg of low sand.heaps, over which one looks far up the valley to the Mission. Beyond these aie high bluffs, which rise abruptly from the watei's edge to a height of lifty feet. Their face ia scarred and yellow, but their tops are carpeted with giass, and in spring with patches of yellow mus tard and wild flowers. The deep color ing of the bay, the dull yellow of the beach and bluffs,the green tufts of grass and the wild flowers creeping over their edges, the distant hazy islands, the long stretch of curved coast,nniunt ainguarded, were always noticed and admired. As they cantered over the shining sands the waves softly br ke iu snowy masses of form, and the waters often battled the horses' feet. It is pos sit le to ride all the way to CarpeHteria byway of the beach at low tide, a dist ance of eleven miles. There is a con stant succession of cows and crescents, (tad at the western edge of Cnpenteria b< gins a line of sandduues, low and rol ling, and fringed with low-growing reeds and bushes. There was still another beach ride that all liked. It began at the w barf ex tended west-ward along the beach, pst steep bluffs, to a foot-path that turned inland through a narrow opening among the coast hills, ilalf a mile beyond the wharf a rocky headland, knowu as Castle Rock, projects across Hie beach, and over this the road led. Kate always rested her horse ou reach ing the top, and look a good log look at the prospect It commanded The view neross the valley to the mountains and along shore to Carpenteria, Ruicon.and Vaniura points, was unobstructed. This headland is thlityiuiles from Santa Bar bara, and forms a neck of land that at tirst is only a few feet above the watei's edge, but which soon meiges into a mountain. .. It was tne middle of January now; but the air was warm,the sky was a cloudless blue, and among the grasses growing al >og the edge of the cliffs were brightly cob red wild flowers. Tiring of the sea, she I ad only to turn btr head to see the valley, or c uld look on both at the same time. 0!d Juan come with her one day, and told what he knew of the neighborhood. Toe Point, he said, used to be called La Punta del.Castillo, and when the Spaniards were the only people living in Saul.t Barbara there was a strong sort on the level ground back of the rock— H fort of eaitb mounted with four brass cannons When n ship sailed into p*.rt, laden with goods from Spain, and bringing many alovertohissweethean, li e soldiers (1 red the cannon and the ship returned the salute. On hearing the noLeJthe people ran down to tlie beach, and waded into the surf to pull the b ats ashore. Among those who one day went down o meet the Ship was old Tom iso. He exacted a certain senorita from Spain to he his bride. *ll llw h hnrrmr, rmiT stie did not appear, they told him the truth. She wh mi he sought had died on the voyage, and was buried at sea. Poor Totuaso! He fell on the sands,and was as one dead. Fiom that time his mind was gone, fter a long illness lie came evety day to the b"ich, watching for his beloved one. For many years be waited, running down to help haul iu every boat and looking long into each face, but never saying a word. He died watching, too: for one day they foui d him dead on the beach, his face turned toward the sea and his eyes wide open. —Rhcards Roberts, in Harper's Maga zine. . SWALLOWED HIS FALSE TEETH. At Least a Western New Yorker Thought He Had the Symptoms. Mr.; Walter Pettis, a prominent citi zen of Sinclairsville, is the victim of an odd incident that has created a great deal of amusement in his section. In attempting to eat an apple the other dtyhe discovered that his false teeth were missing. lie at once concluded he had swallowed them. He said to his wife that he could feel them in his stomach and Dr. Stevens was sum moned in much haste. The doctor made a careful diagnosis and was at a loss to know how a large plate could pass into the stomach and Mr. Pettis not be aware of it. Dr. •Stevens said some soothing words to his patient and withdrew. Mr. Pettis did not believe this treatment heroic enough for such an extraordinary case and he and his wife boarded a train for Buffalo. Dr. Stevens in the meantime telegraphed to Buffalo to be sure the teeth were in the men before cutting him open. Two or three Buffalo doc tors examined Mr. Pettis and were un able to locate the hard substance which he assured them was slowly killing him. Mr. Pettis was of the opinion that he should be cut open without delay, as he knew it would come to this sooner or later. At this juncture a telegram was received from Dr. Stevens that the plate with all the teeth intact had been found between Mr. Pettis' house and barn. In reply to a crowd of grinning neighbors who met Mr. Pettis at the depot on his return, lie said : "I sup pose you fellows are awfully tickled, but you are not tickled half so much as I am." A MAN in passing through the woods tramped on a large blacksnake. It sought safety in a crevice of the rocks, but before it got entirely in the man got a good grip on its tail. Ihe coil of the snake within the rock made It im possible to pull it out. After a careful consideration of the situation, the man bent down a neighboring sapling and tied it to the tail of the snake. He then took his seat on a stump near by and patiently awaited the result. In about two hours lie bad bis reward, when the steady pull of the hickory sapling brought out the snake and sent it whizzing into the air. If You Wish to tie! There.

A near weighing . r >oo pounds was killed on Flint River, near Albany,Ga.. by the citizens, who never saw a bear : in that neighborhood before. A man was going over the Rocky Mountains for pine logs, diiving A wa gon. On the top ot a latge rock by the side of the road was a young bear, ttie | mother baying started up the mountain iou the approach of the team. The cub not moving, tiie mother cam • bounding back to it, and giving it a nudge with her nose, started up the mountain again, expecting the cub to follow. Hut the little one made no move. Tl e old bear then came back a second time, ami taking the cub in her paws gayt him several cuffs. The cub then obey ed ordeis and followed the old bear in a gallop up the side of the mountain. A passenger train on a Florida rail road stopped some fifteen miles from Cedar Key to prevent a collision with i auuio U, wlum n-Wiwir-tmrr tniiic trotting leisurely o.:t of tlie woods climbed upon the platform of a car and entered the express room, where he found three strings ol iish and some bacon, allot which went quickly into ins maw. When the train started on the swaying of the car shut the door. I The bear soon became tired of iiis ride, and looked about for means of egress, i Nothing appeared so vulnerable to him as the windows in the rear of the car, which were protected by iron rods a hout a half inch in diameter. lie se lected one of these, caught two or three ol tlie iron rods with his paws, and, giving them a ling, broke and twisted tliern off clean. His txwly was then j drawn through the aperture and struck | the ground like a rubber ball. He turn i ed two or three somersaults and bob bled off into the woods—if the local newspaper told the truth. An Indiana Man's Big Feet. There is no greater curiosity in hu man form in Indiana than Riley Smith, who for years lias wandered about Bloomington, most of the time depend ent upon the township for a livelihood, says the Chicago Tribune. lie is re markable as being the tallest man, tlie smallest about the waist, and having the largest feet of any person in the whole county. He is six feet seven and one half incites in height, measures twelve inches about the waist, and wears a number 17 shoe, that by actual measurement holds one and one-fourth pecks of corn. He weighs 145 pounds. No shoe is made by the trade large enough by tour numbers, and when a pair is demanded, Smith's order is sent to a Louisville (Ky.) firm, where the shoes are made according to a measure ment kept by tliern. Once each year a pair of plough shoes are ordered. They weigli almost ten pounds, and are made of heavy leather, and have broad heels. The shoes are 16 inchts long, the heel measure is 13 \-2 inches, the instep 101 inches, and the ball 10 inches. Smith is a native of North Carolina, is 40 years old, and emigrated to Indiana in I*6o. He is married and lias two chil dren. Has Sullivan Kept Ills Promise. WASHINGTON,I)ec.B. —Patrick Dug- Kan, the crank, who internpted the pro ceedings of congress by singing the "doxology" on the first day of the ses sion, is a noted enthusiast and has many stran. e experiences. Soonaftrr John L. Sullivan opened his paloon in Boston Duggan, under the direction of the Lord, as he told a reporter, went into the restaurant, walked up to the pugilist and said: "I wish you would give your heart to the Lord." "Why?" asked Sullivan after he hnd recovered from his surprise. "Because," answer ed Duggau, "you would gain eternal salvation. Then think, Mr. Sulliyan," he went on, finding that he was not likely to be hurt, "what an effect your conversion would have on the world and how many would follow your ex ample." "You are right.my boy," said the fighter, "and I promise to tbiukthe matter over." Whiskered Women. The Bt. Louis (Unite Democrat says "It is the remaik of n prominent physi cian, who has givcw much time to the aubject, that 7<> per cent of the women of tlie Wast are burdened with growths of hair upon their faces. Neaily every brunette is affected to some extent in this manner, and it would only require a little cate and pi act ice on her part to bring forth a visible crop of what the callow male of 18 anxiously waits and watches for on his face, liloudes aie not so badly affected, as the growth of hair upon their faces is too light and too tine to bo observed, except upon very close inspection. "However,"con tinued the physician aforesaid, "alien the blonde does have a growth it is of a greasy, shiny nature, that is far moie harrowing to her feelings than the black d III that appears upon the brunette's tace. No doubt the cause that affects the color of the skin also affects the growth of the hair, for the darker the complexion the greater the growth will be. It may be takeu us a general rule that any lady who wishes to rid herself of a moustache or a beaid will only in crease its thickness after she bruins to pay attention to it, for shaving, oint ments, burning and plucking will not do otherwise than invigorate the roots aud follicles. It is only by killing these fol licles. that the hair will cease to grow and electricity Is the only means yet dis covered to accomplish this end.

A Mother's Wisdom. 'Fish again,'petulantly exclaimed a young lady at the table. 'I declare, mother, you are determined to give us girls a Vurfeii of it.' 'Those are my sentiments exactly,' remarked the eldest sister. 'Mother entertains an idea that our brains need cultivating, and as fish is said to be good for the brain,she is anxious to promote its healthy growth.' 'lt is not for that purpose,' replied the old lady. 'lt is not given you as a brain food—not!at all.' 'Then why do you give us fish diet three times a day V nsked the third sister. 'ls it a matter of economy ?' 'No, my children, not exactly, in the strict sense of the word.' 'Then why do you insist upon hav ing it served three times a day ?' asked another one. 'You must be a ware that it is exceedingly distasteful to us.' 1 'Fish is really beneficial, my daugh ters, and high medical authority as serts that fish is rich iu phosphorus, and as you have all reached that jieri od iu life when it is lime to seek a matrimonial ulliunce I have dieted you on fish,as phosphorous is the principal rngrtdlfiil Tu making mulches.'
