DrA Fan mam Our mutual friend Lonis
Luckhnrdt, jeweler, Main s'reet. has received
a magnificent safe, worth $550. from Mosler

Mr. Keiia haa torn down the old tannery in
Kcrnville, near Stoney Creek, which creates
quite a void in that part of town. Hie reasons
(or doing so are not apparent, only that it wag
an old, deserted building. a.nd it ia said ghorth
were beard and seen there. We do not credit
tbe ghost story, but are inclined to think that
certain emboweled spirit with feline propen
sities were wont to meet there at night and
indulge in caterwauls or something else that
made the queer noises. They worked ou the
"nieht turn."
There a-e burglars about. Mr. JTixdorfJ.
who keeps an otater saloon here, had eight
boxes of cigars atolen from him oi.e night last
week. The next night some ot: tried to break
into Schnnblo's store on Main street. A few
nights previous some persons tried to cut a holt
tbroneb the glass pane in the door of Steven
son's jewelry atoro. They left a circular cut,
made with a diamond, the space being large
eneujh to admit a mto'i arm. Look out for
the racals!

whiirh le could not recover. This stroke was

Mr McClelland wae a highly respected citizen
and bis Iocs is greatly deplored by triends, re

John D. Hay, Esc ol this place, showed ns
a letter a few daya ago from our mutual friend,
Capt. James H. Gageby, of Fort Lyon, Colo
rado. The Captain bad been out with a parly
on a hunting exc irsion, and caught fifty buffi
loes and a skunk so large that five hundred
men could smel! it. They took out with them
when hurting about ten gallons of "snake Li e
cafiolicon. and when that was all spilled out
they couldn't hunt any more. He twys when
the paymaster comes round be will remember
the editor of the Freeman. He also gives jour
bumb's correspondent a '"puff." Long may
his shadow spread a halo ef gloty around about
Fort Lyon atid the "Great West," wheieier
that is.
1 wss agreeab!v surprised the ot'ier day to
meet "Ebiosach" on the Blreets of Johnstown
after an absence el many months. Iu fact I
did not expect to see him se soon, but tbe At
lantic gales were favorable. We were over
javed to sue him again on terra firma. What
d'e think, he brought witb him a livk sham
rock, which he displayed conspicuously from
his bat, on St. Patrick's Jay. Long may the
light of his brilliant mind illuminate, "the land
of the free and the home of the brave."

Last Sundav. the 17th, being tbe anniversary
of Ire'and'a Patron Saint, our Irish iellow cit
izens of this city celebrated the event in a very
respectable and beconiing manner. The mori -ing
looked favorable, but about 10 o'clock it
eooamenced 6uowing and so continned until
about noon. At 1 o'clock it looked as if we
were going to have a "big snew," but hail,
rain or snow could not dampen or cool the hot
blood or the Celt, and at U o'clock St !'
rick'a and St. Peter's Societies filled to reple
tion their large Hall on Raiiroad street. At
2.'i0 the precession formed into line, and head
ed bv the Johnstown Silver Cornet Band pro-
f"W'ii. to Clinton street, where it was
j..,ned by St A-?. ., Th ,
band here struck up " Patrick s l,.,
procession took up the march aud preceeded
down Main street and into Walnut street, from
Walnut over the Lincoln bridge into Millville.
from Millville over to Cambria city, around
Cambria city and across to Minersville. and
from Minersville to Johnstown station, where
there was a halt to await the arrival of the
Rev R C. Christy, who was expected to arrive
by tbe way pasenger train wst. They had
not many minutes to wait when the portly form
of tbe Rev. gentleman emerged from one of
tno cars- When Father Christy took his seat
in the carriage beside the ReT. P. M Osrvey,
tbe music again floated on the air, and the pro
cesiotiists escorted the Iter, gentlemen to St.
Johu'a church, where soon alter vespers were
chanted. After vespers tbe societies marched
to their Hall, and alter some remarks from the
President all elispersed in such an orderly man
ner as would reflect credit on any body of men
This being the first St Patrtck'a Dny parade
we have bad here for a number of years, some
thought it would be a failure, but we say cn
didly that it was a complete sueceis in every
sense of the word: Along the whole route of

no brilliant victory on the bleod stained battle
field, but we believe he gained the greatest vic

from paganism to Christianity without shedding
one drop of blood, j
At 7.30 the Rev. Father Christv commenced
his lecture on "St. Patrick and lhelrih people"
before a large and intelligent audience. '1 he
Rev. speaker traced the great saint from the
time he was sold by pirates to Milcho to herd
his sheep on tbe wild hills of Antrim, to hie
escape back to France snd subsequently his re
turn to Ireland aa a Bishop, where he com
menced bis mission before the assembled Prin
ces, Brebons, Bards and Druids in the legisla
tive halls of Tara. He bestowed some well
deserved encomiums on the many seats of
learning for which Ireland was remarkable
during the Middle Ages, when Alfred ihe Oreaf .
King of England, received his education mt
Clenmarnoi-e.on the banks of the upper Shnn'
non. Then he depicted in their true colore the
savage acts of the ruthless Danes and the no
lees barbnroua tyranny of the hated Saxon,
and came along to the time when
"They bribed the flock and bribed the son
To rob the priest and sell the sire
. Their dotra wero tauiflit alike to run

Additional particulars, says the Johnstown
Jrtbune, Jn regard to Michael Moore's life
was learned from bis brother Tom, who is
working in a coal bank near South Fork,
and who. by the waj is a very clever man,"
of abor.t thirty-seven years of nge. Mike
was born near Carlow, Queens Countv Ire
land, about the year 1828. He was next
to the oldest cf seven childre.i; They
lived on a little farm, and the parents were
well to do. When Mike was fifteen or six
teen years of age he received his share of
the property and, realizing on it, started
for America, landing at New fork, and
afterward making bis vay to the Summit,
in this county, where he commenced dig
ging coal. About 1840 Mike had some
body write to his mother to sell out and
come to America, alleging that he was
prospering here. Ilia mother did so (his
father having died shortly before) and lan
ded at the Summit in 1846 with five child
rentwo having been left at home ; the
oldest, n young man. and a girl. The
five arriving here consisted of three boys
and two girU the hoys, Mike and Tom
and a third one, who returned to Ireland
immediately after his arrival. While of
tbe girls, one married John Finnagan, and
is now living at the Viaduct; the other
married John Gallagher, who since died,
leaving a widow in M.nersville.
Mike was murried at South Fork in 1853,
to Anna E. Boyle, the supposed victim of
the tragedy. The following is the certifi
cate, as found on the books of the Church.
: On the fit'li of 6etober"l853. joined in'mat- "
: rimnny Michael Moore and Anna E. Boyle,
: in the presence of Mary M'Kiernan and :
J Francis Conly. T. Mcllin.
She left Eome two years after, without
having had any children. The particulars
of her departure, a3 stated by Tom, ar that
the two lived very unhappily, and that
Mike frequently beat his wife, an! finally,
at tbe lime mentioned, after being fearfully
beaten, she left him and went to a neigh
bor's house, by the name of John Diamond,
at Sttmmerhill, who secreted hemp stairs.
Mike followed her, but was not permitted
to go up stairs. She then, with an old
lady, by the name of Tally went to Wilmore,
ana bought a ticket for Philadelphia Mike
and his friends alleging that she took a'l
Mike's money, consisting ot some $200.
Nothing was heard of her but through two
or three letters written to the priest in this
plce, inquiring in regard to Mike, until
the recent murdercaused a search for fact.-
In 18o6, Mike went West and remained
seveu years. Nothing is known of his ac
tions there. In 1 863 he returned to near
Mineral Point, where, in 1854, he married
the widow of a mn who, a short time be
fore had fallen off a bridge and was drown
ed. The following is the certificate of hid
marriage with the womnn with whom he
was livipg at tbi time of the tragedy :
: OnthcW of February, 1S8,' Michaei';
: Moore, from the Parish of Aries., Queens ;
: County. Ireland, ami Bridget Comiell, :
; from the I'arish of Port Arlington, Kins :
: County, Ireland. Bans published. Wit- :
; nesscs. James Finnagan, Mary C Lynch. :
P. At. Gakvey, ;
Tom says Mike was not particularly
quarrelsome, but was very sulky, seeming
at ail times to be brooding over some ap
parent injury he had received. His first
wife was considered virtuous, and the
neighbors say was a very lively, kind
hearted girl. The mother of the Moores
died some three or four years ago. Mike,
after inducing her to come over, never
having taken the least care of her, nor in
any way administering to her wants.
ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
On last Saturday, Ch ief of Police, John
T. Harris, went to Tyrone and found the
name of M. Moore and wife on a hotel reg
ister, and wis informed by the proprietor
that they had occupied the same room
there on Wednesday night preceding the
murder, and on Sunday District Attorney
Sechler went to Philadelphia, and called
at the houses on Dean street. He found a
family of. very nice people living there.
He entered, and showing one of the child
ren the likeness taken out of he trunk
mentioned last week, the boy s ud that that
wiwa the likeness of Lizzie, and that he had
stolen it. She went by the name of Lizzie
Stevenson, and had been keeping house-for
this family some nine years, until about
six weeks before the murder, when, they
stated, Ehe went out with a strange man
and did not tell where she w.is going.
It appears that Mike, or somebody else,
went for her to Philadelphia, and took her
away to some place along the line of the
railroad, probably with the idea of getting
her out ol the way of Tom, his brother,
who threatened to bring her on here and
convict Mike of bigamy. But the plan was
afterwards changed, far the neighbors say
'"7," -"J"," f"r weeks before the murder
(fter Mike had returnea iruu
trip), that he went up to near where the
murder was committed, and after his visit
parts of staves were found stacked up, as
if to dry, while other pieces were put on
the top of them to cause the rain to run
off, and also that he had, some time previ
ous, bought two bottles of carbon oil at
Lilly's station.
If the btatements made are true, it js
very evident Mike, after taking Anna
from the house in Philadelphia, left ber
some piece on the road, and came home
and made preparations for the murder.

75.000 to 100.000-Xo Trumrance Gallant Um-'ii-
the Firemen Tbe Altoena Tribune of
w euncsday contains the following : This morn
ing about one o'clock a tire broke out in tbe
socond story of tbe addition recently erected
to the Logan House, extending from the north
ern wing of the hotel proper to Eleventh ave
nue. The interior of the new portion of the
larire and hflnrlQnrMAl.iiil.linfr hoi n tr m vrw i
J'a'PJttable nature. caued by the rubbish left
yriym uj tne mechanics in charge or its com
pletion, the tire soon spread through the uiasa
iv structure, envelouinur evervthiuir in a seeth
ing, scorching hell or name. The alarm was
promptly sounded by tbe night watchmen, to
which the firemen quickly responded, but de
spite their almost superhuman efforts tbe tlames
soon communicated with the hotel proper and
for a time threatened the destruction of the
entire building. It was not until after two
hours' terrible labor by the firemen that hopes
were entertained of saving any portion of the
hotel, when it became apparent that the fire
was gotten under control and that it would be
confined to that portion of the building extend
ing from Tenth to Eleventh avenues.
V
Tbe origination of the fire In an unoccupied
portion of the building gave the guests or the
hotel ample time to gather up their personal
effects and remove to a place of safety. In
deed, we believe that no accidents of even a
trivial character occurred during the progress
of the contlugration. The walls of the northern
wing ef the hotel are left standing, and it is
thought, are uninjured to any great extent,
while a large portion of the wall of the recent
extension made to the building has fallen down.
The loss to the hotel is variously estimated at
from 75.000 to tluO.ono, on which there was no
insurance. We could not learn whether there
was any insurance on the hotel furniture. The
building is the property of the Pennsylvania
Itailrnad Company, and is leased by the Key
sr.oue Hotelt 'ompany, being under the super
intendence of Mr. J. 1. MeCiellan.
All honor to Altoona's noble firemen. They
were prompt to the rescue, au.l notwithstand
ing the bitter cold uiglit, heroically labored in
the "discharge of their arduous duties. They
were to be seen all around and on top of the
burning structure, dripping wet and dragging
hose on which ice had formed in large quanti
ties. Periling their lives byjacalin'hixb lad
ders, they fought the tiery clementTiiuli by ineh,
now ebeered by slight vantage ground and
again disheartened with the thomrht that their
efforts would prove fruitless. But In the end
indomitable pluck and heroic work conquered
the fiery demon, and the hearts of the brave
boys were cheered with the thought thatitheir
labors were not in vain. For over live hours
they rendered service the most efficient, and
succeeded in checking the Humes ere half of
the imposing structure was in ruins. They did
their work well and'deserve the highest praise.
As we write, 10 o'clock a. m., they;are still at
work throwing water on the but uing ruins. The
oriirin of the fire is unknown.
The manager or the hotel, Mr. J.D. McClellnn,
furnished excellent refreshments for the tire-
men, for which hospitality he has their hearty
thanks, and to which the latter doubtless did
tistice, as only a number of men could do who
ad experienced the fearful work of the pre
vious tew Hours. Again would we ascribe all
honor to tbe Fire Department of Altoona.
We regret to learn that Rev. lr. Shadrack,
pastor of the First itaptist Church, of this city,
a guest of the Logan House, and who was ub
sent from tbe city at the time of the fire, lost
his wardrobe and valuable library.
Yk Battle op Hali.idat Russr. A man
he keeps a grocery store on the other side of
the creek, and the way heelings the groceries
out would make Tom Martindule sick.
A woman she lives up Halliday Run, and she
bought some goods on trust; and whenever ye
grocer wanted his pay, sho didn't come down
with the dust.
The grocer he waited se-ver-e-al days, and the
woman she let him wait. Oue night she packed
up her traps to vamoose out of the State.
Ye grocer thought his money was gone to the
haunts of tho leits-oc woodbine, when the wo
man sent her little boy with a "V" for a ball of
twine.
Then up rose the gallant grocery man. and to
the boy spake he: "My festive youth, the money
I'll take and kcrp it." he said, said be.
He salted the child wirh a candy stick, and
sent him, happy, back; that grocer full soon
saw that tierce wom-an a-coming down the
track.
He hied him out to meet the old girl alone
and an orphan whs he alack a day for that
grocery man ! that be ever did business with
ie .'
"Now give mo back, you wicked man, my
good green dollars five; or els prepare for
death, for you'll never go back aiive.
And then she sassed that grocery man, and
she didn't "play tine;" her nennou she closed
with a gentle bint that his mother was some
thing canine.
Ye grocery man be wax-ed wroth, and said,
"If such ut my mother, she wim bad. indeed ;
but. by the holy St. Patrick, I swear that you
are another."
Then up rose that terrible fe-mi-r le, and she
smote full sore his head; short, sharp and deci
sive the battle was, for the grocery-man he
tied.
Fast, fast and far the hosts of war tbe pur
suer and the pursued went d'-n the street,
till the wretched man entrtuciitd in bis grocery
stood.
The people nil, both great and small, did clap
and shout with glee. Tho mail bas got his dol
lars five, but she "took it out" of he.
Now let us sing, long live the King; and the
woman, long live she sho. The next time that
man is clapper clawed may we all be there to
see.
This little episode, though somewbat hvster
Ic, is told very gravely by the Oil City IM-Wick;
and mayhap it is true, for goods sold on trust
are apOjuite of ten tokick up a dust. But true
or false, one thing is plain, with ready cash you
can money gain ; und the same is the reason, as
sure as you live, why M. L. Oatman doth great
bargains give; for he sells only for cash, and
his groceries are prime, and by buying from
him you'll save many a dime.

ArPAiusoBEATii.-On Friday mornjng last,
says the Iewistown Democrat, a lad named Njl
lard Youtzy, aged about IS yeurs, sou of John
Youtzy ef Brat ton township, waa kilted under
the following distressing circumstances. . He
was employed at a saw-mill, in the mountains,
and was riding a mule, witb a bag of corn and
a tin bucket upon its back. The rattling of the
kettle frightened the mule, Hnd it setloff on a
run. Some men In tho road attempted to Stop
it, when it broke into the wood, running down
the mountain pell-mell over rocks, timber, and
one fence. Tho boy fell soon after tho mule
took to the wood, but his foot stuck fast in the
girth, and he was dragged all the distance, head
downward. II is bead was fearfully battered,
and be wastf course dead wheu the mule
stopped. .....
The March winds blow and the clouds look

their crowds of customers rolls upon rolls of
beautiful gilt Paper Hangingsat such low rates
as to astonish even the natives. Housekeeper
preparing for the first of April will save money5

They keep also a splendid variety of beautiful
ly bound boobs, plain and gilt frames and fancy

sleep calmly. Mayer's made-up clothing for
men Hnd boys is also a good cure for colds, asth
ma, catarrh, and consumption, if bought and
worn immediately. Try these great remedies.
' The Or.n Boy. It is said that the 'divil him
self has been swn at several places along tbe
Pa. H. K.. and wo believe it, for ain't they kept
devilish busy mil the time selling dry goods,
dress goods, fancy goods, carpets, table linens,
gloves, hosiery, laces, ribbous, etc.. t the Man
sion House corner, known as Cheap John's
Murphy's corner. Main and Franklin street,
Johnstown. John J- is a "broth of a boy" at
selling cbo ip and durable sroods. He's the "old
boy" that knows bow to please everybody.
The Aijoine for April. The feature of this
issue is an exquisite design by Vlcto? Nehlig,
entitled "Morning Dew." Tbw delicacy of the
artist's imagination is JHtingly offset by the
sympathetic treatment of the engraver and
printer. By any known process it would be ex
tremely difficult to rival the effect-and we have
no doubt that there are many who would not
grudge the year'j subscription for this einale
plate. This is tbe frttntinpieee promised every
quurter. Then we find two other full-page
Plates an interior, hv F.mtlie. nnirrnml in u
masterly manner by Linton, and a view on tho
'Hudson at Hyde Park," by Geo. Smilie. Of
the smaller cut "The Little Mother," by John ;
S. Davis, is conspicuous as one of the very test
specimens of figure drawing that we have vet
seen from an American pencil. Mr. Davis is
conscientious in every detail, and lovers of
true art will look to h s future with great ex
pectations. Pictorially, this number justifies
the highest commendations, and indicates a fix
ity of purpose, on the part or the publishers,
that augurs well for American Art. The liter
ary department is very well sustained, and we
tbiuk, for excellence and variety, this is tbe
best number yet issued. Mr. Stoddard wif
nave to exert bmself to make another number
as good ns tbe present one. The statement ef
the publishers that the edition is already within
a fraction of 50.000 copies per month will be
hailed as a vindication of American taste and
appreciation. Such an unparalled success, in
a publication utterly non-sensational, is u re
cognition nr.d endorsement of which theyouth
rul publishers (the senior member or the firm
has just turned thirty) may well feel proud.
e are glad that our neighborhood is repre
sented among the patrons of The Ahtine, and
would urge thenecessityof according the widest
circulation to its elevating and refining influences-
The subscription price, including a
pretty oil-chromo premium, is 15, or it and one
copy of our paper one year for 5.50 and tbe
publishers' address is James Suttou & Co., 23

Av Evextftl Life. In the lower shops of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in this
city, is employed an individual, a painter by
trade, who has experienced as many changes in
this strange life as generally Tall to the lot or
man, and which we condense for publication.
He graduated with high honor at Jefferson tl
lege, and subsequently assisted in tbe building
or the first railroads in Illinois end Upper Can
ada. Six moiithsof his life were spent withthe
Huron Indians on the Monto Islands, in the
Georgian Bay. He bsi been the editor and pro
prietor or two weeklf papers and the editor oT
three others "two of them dailv." He was a
captain under Geueral Wm. Walker in his last
fatal expedition to Nicaraugn, on which occa
sion he was captured with his commander and
was tried and condemned to be shot, but sub
sequently made his escape, and after wcn.leiing
for three months in tno forests, finally succeed
ed in returning safely to this country.
At the breaking out of the late civil war he
was commissioned a Lieutenant Colonel by Sec
retary of War Cameron nnd assigned to the
staff of Major General McCollum. or the Con
struction C-orps. By this latter officer he was
assigned to (Jen. Sherman's department, where
he gave entire satisfaction both to Gen. Sher
man and the Secretary of War, Stanton. At
the close of the rebellion, in settling his ac
counts with the government for property pass
ing through his hands, he was adjudged a de
faulter to the amount of over six hundred
tl.ousand dollars, although he steadfastly main
tains that he has never wronged the overn
ment out of a solitary copper. Altoona Trib.

Legendary . It is thought that the legend
in the last Tribune was written by Butler & A
dendircr, successors to Leopold Mayer, No. 212
Main street, Johnstown, the renowned dealers
in dry goods and like commodities. If this be
true, or even if it ain't true, they deserve lo
receive all the custom from the territory drain
ed by the Stoney Creek, and from several other
places, for it is a good legend. They should
write another and locate it in Wheatfieid town
ship, Indiana county ; but in the meantime let
them keep on selling cheap and fashionable dry
goods, aud everybody will patronize them.
Anotfi er Murder! S.J. Hess & Bro. mur

this side of Paris or London." His Jurisdiction
was not contested, being less than ten miles
from high prices. Call at Hess Si Brothers and
buy a wedding suit, or any other suit or part or
a suit. -They can suit you or "any other man."

The dear little fellow was ono of Mount Gal

grandmother when stricken down and called
home to assume in reality the character (thst
or au angoi) which he personated so pleasinglv
in tableaux presented in this place on the eve
of Epiphany. We saw him on Monday night,
full of buoyant life arid childish erlee, and can
scarcely realize the fact th:it he ia now with the
angelio hosts thst constantly surround the
bright throne or the Most High. He was one
of the most endearing or children, and we can
well conceive that his sudden death, away from
home and without the loving presence of his
dear parents, has created a deeply distressing
void in tbe family circle. We believe his dis
ease was croup.
