FOREST HIDES A MURDER.
Alystery of the Death of Wealthy
Lumberman John Rohn.
From Philadelphia Record.
LOCK HAVEN, Pa., July 23.— The
mystery surrounding the disap
pearance of John Rohn, Sr., the
wealthy West Keating township lum
berman, does not appear as near solu
tion as a week ago, when the authori
ties discovered that Rohn h«d been
murdered. During the past week
(loiiHtablc TJ. A. Reid, of Renovo, un
earthed sufficient evidence against two
men to justify him in swearing out a
warrant, but at a consultation held
with Judge Mayer and District Attor
ney McCormick, the Judge gave it as |
his opinion that the arrests could not j
bo made until the body of Rohn, or
some portion of it, was found.
SOME STKANGE STORIES AFLOAT.
It is reported that a woman named
Gaines, a cook at a lumber camp near
Block House, six miles north of the
Rohn place,one day last week discover
ed the scalp of a man along a moun
tain by-path. The scalp looked as
though it might have been torn oft' a
corpse by a dog. When the officers
went to Block House to verify the
story, the grewsome find of the
Gaines woman had disappeared,
nobody knew where.
The startling rumor was afloat in the
neighborhood of the Rohn place that
on the night of April 6 —the date of
Rohn's disappearance—a passer-by
saw the fire place under the boilers at
the Rolin saw mill aglow, and it was be
lieved that the murderers of the old man
had burned his body up. This story,
however, is strenuously denied by
Mrs. Rohn, who is an invalid, and was
awake all the night after her husband's
failure to return home. The mill is
not two rods from the house, and Mrs.
Rohn says that nobody could have
built a fire in the mill that night with
out her finding it out.
LEFT NOUCHEK BEHIND HIM.
The voucher which was supposed to |
be in Rohn's pocket when he disap- j
];eared, and was recently presented i
for payment at a Clearfield bank, Mrs.
Rohn explains, was found lying on the j
organ, in the sitting room, where Mr. j
Rohn put it several days before he dis- j
appeared.
There is a presistent story in "Nig
ger Kingdom" (the local name by |
which the community in which the!
Rohn mystery is known) that 1
a young man named Smoke had a i
quarrel about a dead cow which Smoke !
had dragged into Rohn's woods, j
Searchers for Rohn also discovered the
peculiar wobbling tracks made by a
broken wheeled buggy belonging to
Smoke, in the neighborhood of where
Rohn was last seen. Constable
Reid called at the Smoke home to in
terrogate the young man, but the
latter was not to be found.
HAD MONEY WHEN HE STARTED.
The family of missing John Rohn
are strict adherents of the murder
theory. It is known that the old man
had at least $l5O on his person when
he disappeared, and the woods, at the
edge of which he was last seen, extend
in a pathless plateau for nearly fifteen
\ miles across the Alleghenies to the Sin
| nemahoning district. The body of the
old man could bo hidden in this as ef
fectively as though buried in a fifty
foot grave. Searchers have been
watching the crows on this plateau,
thinking that these birds would find
j t he body.
Rohn was one of the wealthiest of
! upriver lumbermen, being the owner
of about 50,000 acres of land which,
( though nearly denuded of timber, is
I richly underlaid with bituminous coal.
Unreliable Statistics.
(Published by Request).
In the Christian Advocate of New
York, in its issue for May 18, Doctor
I H. K. Carroll publishes the statistics of
all of the religious bodies in the United
; States, except the numerous secret
orders, which are as distinctly relig
| ious as any of the churches named in
| his report. The Wesleyan Methodist
Church in the United States is credit
: ed with 600 ministers, 470 churches,
' 16,000 members, and charged with a
decrease of 95 churches, and 2,100
members. In studying these statistics
we should keep in mind the facts.
First, no general statistics have been
gathered in the church since 1895.
Doctor'Carroll's statement of our loss
is said to be for 1898. Hence his fig
gures cannot be reliable, for no human
being can say with absolute certainty
what our members are for 1893. There
are no statistics available to Dr. Car
roll or any other man. Second, since
1895 there have been organized two
new conferences, yne of them with
several hundred members, and the
otlier with an honorable membership.
The best informed men in the Connec
tion can name to us less than a half
dozen churches which have become
extinct during the four years since
statistics were gat hered, and we know
from the published reports of the or
ganization of more than a score of new
churches in that time, hence the state
ment that there has been any decrease
in the number of our churches is not
to be depended upon, and to say that
the decrease has been 95 is simply
ridiculous. Either Doctor Carroll has
trusted to sources not trustworthy for
information, or his figures have gotten
strangely mixed. Whatever may be
the cause of this wholly needless mis
representation of our Church we have
no occasion to be disturbed by it, for
the accurate records are kept by one
who never makes figures tell untruths.
The worthy Doctor could have no rea
son for misrepresenting the Wesleyan
Methodist Church, and this fact joined
to the uniform courtesy and honorable
justice which so prominently distin
guish the Rev. James M. Buckley, D.
I)., the editor of the Christian Advo
cate, to which we would add the pleas
ant evidences of his friendship, lead us
to conclude with special satisfaction
that the error is exclusively one of
figures and not in any sense a viola
tion of the courtesy and rectitude
heretofore so satisfactory, as respects
both the Christian Advocate and
Doctor Carroll. —Wesleyan Methodist.
Spreads Like Wildfire.
You can't keep a good thing down.
News of it travels fast. When things
are "the best" they become "the best
selling." Abraham Hare, a leading
druggist of Belleville, 0., writes:
"Electric Bitters are the best selling j
bitters I have ever handled in my 20
years experience." You know why?
Most diseases begin in disorders of
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels,
blood and nerves. Electric Bitters
tones up the stomach, regulates liver,
kidneys and bowels, purifies the blood,
strengthens the nerves, hence cures a
multitude of maladies. It builds up
the entire system. Puts new life and
vigor into any weak, sickly, run-down
man or woman. Only 50 cents. Sold ,
