FATAL ACCIDENT AT MoRRIS’S LIME
QuARRY.—Last Friday morning the ru-
mor spread rapidly through our town
that a terribly fatal accident had cccur-
red at the Morris limestone quarry,
which is located on the road to Miles-
burg a short distance north west of the
borough limits. The particulars, when
ascertained, d-veloped the sad fact that
two of the men working at the quarry,
Frank Gallagher and Joseph Mayes, had
been instantly killed by an unexpected
fall of rocks, and another namel John
Newans, had been sericusly injured.
The quarry is a deep incision in the
side of the hill, made by years of ex-
cavation, it having in thecourse of years
furnished thousands of tons of stone.
The face of the rock at the point where
the work was going on is probably a
hundred feet high, and the party was
working at the north west corner of the
excavation, drilling a hole on a ledge
up about two thirds of the distance from
the bottom. That side of the quarry
presents an overhanging face, projecting
some thrity or forty feet over the per-
pendicular. It was under this projec-
-tion, close to the face of the rock, that
the men were working when a quantity
of lose shelly rock, some eight or ten
tons in weight, became detached from
the top and came thundering down in
the direction where the drillers were at
work. Newans was sitting down hold-
ing the drill while Gallagher and Mayes
were plying the drilling sledges. At
the point they were, if they had main-
tained their position, the rocks would
have fallen beyond them, on account of
the projecting character of the face of
the quarry. But upon hearing the noise
of the descending mass, in attempting to
escape Gallagher and Mayes ran right in
the way of it, were caught by it, and
were literally cut to pieces. There was
scarcely a bone in Gallagher's body that
was not broken, he being crushed into
an almost unrecognizable mass, while
Mayes was nearly as badly cut up, his
head being almost severed from his bo-
dy. Newans, who was sitting down,
hadn’t the same chance of running into
the way of the descending rocksas had the
other two, although he was hit and se-
riously hurt by fragments that reached
him. The rock that fell was of a shelly
nature and came from the top of the
quarry where it was probably loosened
by the recent rains. Some of the papers
greatly exaggerated its quantity in stating
that it amounted to a hundred tons, and
one of our local journals perpetrated the
absurd exaggeration of saying that ‘“al-
most every separate particle’ of this al-
leged mass of a hundred tons was “‘spat-
tered with the blood’ of two men. The
fact is that the whole slide did not
amount to more than four or five cart
loads.
Frank Gallagher lived at Howard
and left a dependent family consisting
of a wife and seven children. He was
about 87 years of age. Joseph Mayes,
the other victim, who was about 34
years of age, belonged to Boggs town-
ship, and also left a destitute family of
a wife and four children. These cir-
cumstances make this accident perculi-
arly sad. Theremains of these unfortu-
nate men were buried on Sunday.

——The devil seems to be on the
rampage, leading men to murderous
deeds. One evening last week, at Jer-
sey Shore, a man who goes by the name
of “Kit Carson,’> made his way quietly
into the Gamble House and without a
word of caution threw a half ot a brick
at D. A. Cochran, which struck him on
the left side of the head, stunning him
for a moment or two. The brick glanc-
ed and knocked the glasses from off the
eyes of James A. Davidson. The fel-
low was afterwards arrested and taken
to Williamsport, where he secured bail.
It is a very fortunate thing that the re-
sult was not fatal, or he would now be
held for murder.
—— Mary Stiger, a girl of 14 years of
age, is in the Williamsport jail for steal-
ing a horse and wagon. Martin Myers
is the owner of the stolen property. It
appears that he drove to Cogan station
and tied his horse about a quarter of a
mile from the station. After the arriv-
al of the train he returned to where he
had left the horse and wagon and was
surprised to find them gone. At first he
supposed that the animal had broken
loose and run away, but upon making an
examination of the tracks he became
convinced that they had been stolen.
The trail was followed up, ending in the
overtaking of the girl in possession of
the stolen property, and her arrest.

THE DAsTARDLY MURDER oF CLARA
Price.—We last week briefly noticed
the horrible murder of Miss Clara Price
which occurred on Wednesday morning
the 27th ult., on the road leading from
Snow Shoe to Karthaus, her body,pierc-
ed by pistol shots, having been found ly-
ing on the road not far from the latter
place. Since then fuller particulars of
the atrocious crime have been obtained
and several arrests have been made of
persons suspected of having committed it.
The victim, Miss Clara Price, was the
daughter of Mr. David Price, of Kart-
haus. She was about 19 years of age
and is represented to have been more
than ordinarily handsome and of excel-
lent character, her family being one of
the most respectable in the neighbor-
hood. She had been employed at Mr.
Eugene Meeker’s, in Burnside township,
this county, and on the morning when
she met her sad fate she had started
from Mr. Meeker’s residence to go to
the store at Karthaus. She carried a
basket containing a roll of butter for her
parents, and a hood to be exchanged at
the store. That was the last that was
seen of her alive,
Shortly after this, during the course
of the morning, James Marsteller, Wil-
liam Oswalt and Jacob Bechdel, of Snow
Shoe, came along the road leading to
Karthaus bridge, on their way to Boak’s
hunting camp, and they were shocked
to see lying in the road the lifeless form
of a young girl. Without giving it a
close examination they alarmed the
neighborhood and soon a number of ex-
cited neighbors collected around the re-
mains which were immediately recog-
nized as those of Miss Price. Esquire
Rankin held an inquest, the jurors being
W. S. Loy, Mitchell Watson, Henry
Rider, John W. Rider, W. B. Potter
and George Emerick. Three bullet
holes were found in the body, one en-
tering the back and going in the direc-
tion of the heart, one through the head
after entering the left ear, and the third
through the breast perforating the
heart. The basket that wus lying by
her side had a bullet through it. There
was evidence in the road of a strugsle
as if there had been a resistance to some
bodily force. Her clothing was found to
be torn. There were indications that she
had turned and run back, and her hat
was found about a rod from where she
had turned to run. There could be but
one conclusion and that was, that her
murderer had first attempted to outrage
her and that upon her resistance he had
murdered her to conceal his first offence.
Sae was shot down by the brute while
she was running to save her chastity
and her life. Five shots had been
heard, all in quick succession, by men
working near where she had been killed,
but as shooting was going on continual-
ly in the woods no account was taken of
it at the time.
The first impulse of the exasperated
neighbors was to take measures for the
discovery and arrest of the fiend who
had done this bloody work. The mo-
mentous question was who did it ? Sam-
uel Emerick had seen an unknown
man pass Mulholland ’s about 9 or 10
o'clock. He is described as having been
about 5 feet 6 or 8 inches high, heavy
set, with a smooth red face and wearing
dark gray clothes and a dark derby hat.
As, further on, he passed Michael Wat-
son’s house, he caught up to Miss Price,
and she, walking very fast, crossed to
the otherside of the road. They contin-
ued to walk one on each side of the road
until they got out of Mrs. Watson's
sight. That was the last seen of her
while living. The theory is that he
| walked on past her and secreted himself
in the woods at a lonely point on the
road, and then , as she came up, pounced
on her like a beast to effect his hellish
purpose. There was a struggle in
which she repulsed him and then turn-
ed to run, and then he fired upon his
retreating victim and continued to do so
until she fell dead in the road.
The miscreant, however, left tracks
which may eventually lead to his identifi-
cation and punishment, His boot tracks
were plainly preceptible leading into
the woods about a rod above where the
murder had been committed.
Prompt action was taken to discover
land apprehend the murderer. A de-
| cription of the man who was seen on
the road with Miss Price, and to whom
suspicion most reasonably attached, was
| printed and scattered broadcast. The
{ people of Karthaus offered a reward of
+ $150 for his apprehension, and the young
| woman’s father also offered a hundred.
| A clue was discovered that pointed to a
| man named Alfred And rews, of Brisbin,
Clearfield county, who answered the de-
| scription of the man seen on the road
| with Miss Price, and who was known to
have been in the neighborhood at the time
| the crime was committed, hunting for
work, as he represented.
|
|
|
| The foot prints that were visible in
| the road together with the foot prints of
I the victim, were made by shoes 10} inches
Lin length. They were plainly marked
| at the place where the struggle appeared
{to have taken place, and followed the
! victim in her short flight, passing the
' body some twenty feet and then turning
off into the woods. In the direction
they took, about two miles from the
| rond, a man who has since turned out to
"be Andrews came suddenly upon a par-
ty of men working in the woods at Moy-
er’s lumber camp, at about 11 o'clock.
He seemed to be surprised at encoun-
tering them, but said that he was look-
ing for a job of work. They told him
that the boss was some distance away
and direct:d him where to find him.
He went away, but it appears that he
did not hunt up the boss for work.
About 120’clock while the same party |
of workmen were taking their lunch, |
the same man came on them again out
of the woods. A heavy fog was prevail.
ing at the time and he made the excuse
that he had lost his way, and inquir-
ed the route to Snow Shoe. He being
told what direction to take, he left again
without inquiring further for work.
These circumstances led to the suspi-
that this man Andrews was the
criminal, and that while he was blun-
dering though the woods he was trying
to escape from the scene of his crime.
Following this clue chief-of-police

ler, of Philipsburg, proceeded to Bris-

victed murderer Hopkins, having made
‘a motion for a new trial, Judge Furst

He made no resistance and admitted
that he had been in the Karthaus neigh-

but had been looking for work and fail-
ing to obtain it there had returned home.
He said that he was an Englishman by |
birth. He was then taken to Philips-
burg and placed in the lockup over
Sunday night. He made a statement
there accounting for his movements im- |
mediately before and after the time of
the murder. His reason for going to
the camp in the woods was that his
work at Houtzdale not being a steady |
job he resolved to go to the woods to
try and get work at cutting props, leav-
ing Houtzdale on Tuesday. He reach-
ed as faras Viaduct where he was permit-

per and slept that night. The next
morning, Wednesday, at eight he left
the house and started for the woods.

By the Court: Mr. Hopkins, you have been
convicted, by a jury of your own countrymen,
of the highest crime of murder, the murder
of a member of your own family. You have
had a fair impartial trial, your counsel was
i zealous il the discharge of every duty to
. protect you, and saw that you had a fair and
just trial. You had a conscientious jury, sworn
to try the issue between you and th: Common-
| wealth, and a true deliverance make. The
! jury, under the evidence, found you guilty of
murder in the first degree. There cannot be
a question, there cannot be a doubt but that
the verdict is the exact truth in your case.
You committed the crime in cold blood, you
| committed it;with malice in your heart, pre-
: meditated it before you resolved to commit it,
; and you lay in wait, in your own house at mid-
"night, watching for that purpose. We have
little else to say to you but this: That you
! need expect no clemency from the Governor
of this Commonwealth or the Board of Par-
| dons. You must make your addresses for
pardon and forgiveness to a Higher Power,
and we commend yon to a prayerful consider-
' ation of your own position. We say to you
| kindly and with the best feelings of our heart,
i to repent of your sins and seek pardon from
God, whose laws you have offended. The penal-
ty of your crime is death. It is the conse-
quence of your own life, it is the consequence
. of your own crime. By your crime you have
forfeited your life, and we say to you, in
conclusion, to make your peace with God.
Seek His pardon and it may be that you may
| be forgiven if you repent in sincerity and
truth.
