The Oassville Investigation,
Special Correspondence Pittsbura1 Commercial.
IIcktingdox, Pa., Feb. 14, 1S71. .
The ioint Committee of the two llrtuses
of the Legislature, to investigate the Cass
ville scandal, closed its labois liei-e n last
Tuesday night, and returned to llarris
burg I have only time to give you a brief
retuvie of th testimony.
On Monday evening Miss Handcuff was
examined, anil testiiied that Guss drew
her into his office, one evening, when she
was between thirteen and fourteen years
of age, pulled her upon his lap, pressed
her To his bosom, ami offered her other in
dignities. She complained of this to one
of the female employes, and by her assist
ance a letter was sent to her father, who
promptly sent the guardians of the child
U demand her, but she was not yielded
up. A short time afterwards, she was
t iken into a room before a Justice of the
Peace, and frightened into swearing that
her charges was not correct. Again, when
he was approaching sixteen, he lured her
to tho woods, aod, when the coast was
clear, threw her to the ground and endeav
ored to accomplish his vile purpose. Twice,
subsequently, he made similar attempts.
She also stated that one of the girls was
tnciente, and that she was obliged to wear
the witness' clothes, who was a much
larger-sized giil. The boys would twit
this poor creature while reciting iu class,
and charge her with familiarities with
(Juss. She stated that there were con
stant reports of his familiarity with the
girls.
Mrs. Handcuff corroborated her daugh
ter's statement in regard to receiving the
letter, etc.
A lady from Altoona, who had been em
ployed at the establishment, stated that
she frequently saw girls from her room
coming out of Gush's room, late at night,
with their slippers in their hands. She
said that reports of familiarity were con
stantly flying around the establishment.
Mr. Owens, who had formerly been a
teacher, gave similar testimony, and stated
that he had frequently seeu Guss with turns
one of the girls on the cars.
Miss Louisa Pope slated that she had
gone to his room to ask permission to go
to visit her uncle, in company with one of
tho girls. Guss said he was busy writing
a sermon. He called her to him and asked
her if she could keep a secret. She, think
ing it was something in reference to the
school, said she could. He then endeav
ored to seduce her. She said she would
cry ouf, and he opened the spring lock and
allowed her to retire. She complained im
mediately. The matron ami others cor
roborated her statement as near as possi
ble. Mrs. Funk stated that he called her into
his room and asked her if fdie could keep
a secret, and when khe told him that t-he
could, lie endeavored to accomplish his
vile purpose.
Within a few weeks he took a Justice
of the Peace to this witness, and endeav
ored to make her swear that the statements
which she had made "were untrue. He in
sisted on hei not to come to the investiga
tion. She was corroborated by other wit
nesses. Dr. Ifaac Guss, formerly physician to
the Fchool, stated that one of the teachers
told him that theie were half a dozen com
plaints by young girls at one time, and
that the"Professor"was constantly charged
with criminality with a number of girls
named by the witness. He also stated that
Guss was frequently seen riding about ihe
country with his arms around the large
girls ; that there was no effort to cenceal
his lecherous motives.
Judge Clarkson stated that there was
frequent rumors of the criminalty of Guss;
that he (Clarkson ) saw him in the cars with
a whole car full of small girls, and selected
the largest one and put her ou his lap, aud
caresd aud fondled her.
George McEldowuey stated that he saw
Guss in tho ironing room with bis arms
about one of tho girls in the corner ; he
taw Guss and one of tho larger girls com
ing out of the stable about eight o'clock
at night, and also went to his office on one
occasion and found Lirn locked iu with one
of the girls.

A Crazy Bot Climbs a Tjiek. A boy
named AUebaugh, living on Decker's run,
a few miles from Cochranton, suddenly ex
hibited symptoms of derangement on Mon
day morning of lat-t wek, but his family
saw no immediate cau?e for alarm. He
seemed impressed with the idea that some
body wai ted to kill him ; and laboring
under that foarful apprehension he rushed
out of the house about 0 o'clock a. ni. and
made for the woods. His grandfather and
another man followed as scum as thej'
could, but the boy ran like a deer. They
saw him climbing a stout poplar tree but
were too late to stop him. He ascendetl the
tree to the bight ef sonic seventy feet and
there sat in the upper fork. Tho day was
bitterly cold aiul tlie poor youth was thin
ly clad and without a coat. T he two men
climbed the tree, but as they got near him
the boy crawled out on a frail limb and
threateneel to jump to the ground if they
came closor. The two men elescendrd. as
they feareel that the boy would thus des
troy himself. As their last resort to keep
him from freezing, they got his coat and
sent it up the tree and left it as near the
boy as they elared go. The boy came
elown far enough to get his coat ami then
climbed back to his elangerous position.
As a last effort to save him for to re
main as he was much longer was eleah
from freezing or falling they concluded
to cut down the tree, guying it with stout
ropes to prevent its earning down with a
crash. Two gooel axemen went to work
and soon the t.ec began to waver aiul set
tle in the elireetion they wished it to fall.
But in spite of the guys it swung to one
sido and lodged against an eiak. The in
sane boy sprang into the oak with the agil
ity of a squirrel and was soon in its top
most branches.
All entreaMes and promises of protection
wero unavailing to get him elown. The
night was coming on anel the cold increas
ing. It was thought that possibly a play
mate in the neighborhood, of whom he
was very fontl, could coax him down, ami
this boy was brought to the scene with
dishes of fooel. All now left except two
men, who cencealed themselves in the
brush to seize the poor boy if he should
come d.iwn from his peich. The strata
gem succeeded. The boy was secured ad
taken to his family. His feet, hands and
face wero badly frozen during his terrible
exposure of fifteen hours, but it is thought
that no serious consequences will ensue
from that. It was a thrilling day to the
neighborhood and will be long remember
ed among the annals of Docker" run.

criminal population can be removed to a
place by itself, but we doubt the readiness
of Congress to adopt such a plan.

A train on theLehigli anel Susquehanna
Railroad, between one anel two o'clejck
Monday morning, ran into a land slide
near Slate Dam Station. The cugino

piled upon each other, smashing freight
e.f all descriptions, which was strewn along
the road and hurled into thes river. Not
or. of the train hands as far as could be
aseertaineel, escapee! injury. The body of
engineer Daniel Shannon was founel under
the engine considerably Lurneel. Otto
Shannon, fireman, and Frank Ryan, brake
man, weie badly scalded and burned.

A singular anel so far unexplained
cae of sueldeti illness and the eleath of an
entire family in tho North Division of Chi
cago came to light en Satuielay. A neigh
bor, ou going to the house of David Thomp
son, to see Mrs. Thempson. who was leceut
ly confined, founel the eloors fastened, and
suspecting rorr.t thing wrong, procured help
and forced his way intt the house, where
the' founel Mrs. Thompson lying insensi
ble, two of her four children dead, and the
o.her two in an apparent dying condition.
The woman was in a state of insensibility.
A third child elied Sunday, and the nurse.
Mrs. Behrens, who was at first suspected
of having some connection with the affair,
is now very ill with symptoms similar to
those in the other cases. The physicians
are unable to determine the caue of the
eleaths, but there seems to be a genei-al
impression that they were caused by gas
from a coal stove. The nurse, when
found, was apparently partly sturefied,
and is now in a very precarious condition.
