The Bedford county Republican con
vention met on Tuesday, in Bedford, and
nominated Cessna for Cougress and Elliott
for State Senate. Cessna received .15 votes,
as against 29 votes fur Williams. Williams'
friends, it seems, were not satisfied with
the result, and withdrew from the conven
tion and proceeded to run things on their
own hook. They nominated the aforesaid
Williams for Congress, and gave Lim au
thority to select his own conferees, and the
presumption now is that things are not al
together as lovely in the radical camp as
they would like to have us believe.

rsRIEF SKETCH OF THE) CASE.
Some time last fall, a young man named
Francis Burk, a resident of Gallitzin, was
shot at a number of times m that borough,
but was not hurt. He imagined that one
Mantis Patton, a resident of Tunuel Hill,
or one or more of his associates, were his
assailants, and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Patton, Joseph Murphy, John Big
ler, and John Smith 011 the charge of assault
with intent to kill. All of tbe defendants,
except Bigler and Smith, immediately tied
the country, and on the ICth of February
following, at Argument Court, a process
was ordered to le issued to the Sheriff for
the arrest of the defendants. Constable
Patrick A. Bnrns, of Gallitzin, was depu
ted to serve tbe warrant, J'atton and Mur
phy roturued to Tunnel Hill on or about
June 11th, last, and on the loth day of that
month Jbe constable, assisted by Michael
Fitzharris, burgess of Gallium, undertook
to serve the warrant. They ascended the
Hill, which is in the near neighliorhood of
Gallitzin, some) time that evening, and at
what is known as the Picnic House succeed
ed in arresting Murpliy and Bigler. Patton
was in the near neighborhood at tbe time,
but attempted to eflect hi.- escape by run
ning. Constable Burus gave pursuit, aud
Patton refusing to stop when ordered, the
officer discharg.d thre barrels of his re
volver at the fugitive. One of the shots
took etl'ect in Patton's thigh and another in
his shoulder-blade, and the nature of these
combined wounds was such that be lived
only a very short time.
Smith wms taken into rustndy the same
evening, aud he and Murphy and Bigler were
brought hither that night, and were released
on bail for their appearauce at the current
term of Court.
Constable Burns promptly surrendered
himself into the custody of Hon. B.J. Lloyd,
owe of the Associate Judges, and on the
Wednesday following the oecnrrence of this
event was brought liefore bis honor Judge
Ddan 011 a writ of habeas eorpu aud released
in the sum of $3,0(K bail.

drnyg-ed him down I Uc lane a distance of nbout
40 yards; he never got jd or spoke after I saw
him there: while draairiuir him down the lane
we met two women, wno asked who that was ;
Hums replied that it was Manus Patton. The
distance between li'irns and 1'atton when the
latter started to run was from li to 15 yards ;
when the first shot was fired they were about
10 yards apart; Patton ran about 20 yards be
fore the second shot wiis tired, with liurn S or
10 yards behind him ; Patton was on top of the
fence when the third tihnt was fired, and liurns
was about 4 yards from him at the time; Pat
ton ran slower a tier the first shot than belore
and about the same ufivr tho second shot. This
was in Cambria county, some time in June lust.
Patton was breathing wheu I saw him lying in
the lae; don't know that lie died there, as I
left before he was dead ; believe ho was taken
home. While Ivicir in the lane, lie was exam
ined by Burns and Fitzharris, who rouod a
wound or hole in his shoulder; saw l.toud on
his face and shirt ; liurns and Fitzharris went
to tret a board or sometrnnir to carry hiin home
on ; left nobody to watch uini.
O-'wu-rriimine-l liurns was constable at Oal
litzin at that time; he came on our party from
the "ide next Blnir county; Joseph Murphy
w him first, and said. "There comes your

I crossed the fence Burns was between 1'atton

stout, active man. I was arrested on the same

I held him up, his legs only touching theiriound;
I wa ked alongside; they carried him some 40
yards, and iheu went to get some means lo take
him borne, or possibly to the lock-up. I was
0-J to 65 yards distant rrom Patton at the third
Hre; it was not dark. Could uot positively tell
how much liurns gained 011 Patton: can only
guess at the distance; Patton was on tbe fence
at the time of the first shot; Burns had to cross
the fence to pursue him. Patton probably ran
because he knew that Burns was a co unable
and bad a warrant for his arrest.

Practical Facts. When any organ or
part of the body liecomes diseased it gives
out more than its accustomed share of parti
cles from that part. These seperated parti
cles are carried out of the Isxly through the
medium of the kidneys, and may, bv chemi
cal analvsis and microscopic examination,
be definitely ascribed to the precise locality
whence they are derived.
These are practical fars, not merely of
value in ordinary cases alone, but scientific
men Todd, llennet. tjueckot, and others
have placed on record numerous instances
wherein the correct diagnosis in ohsrtire
rases depended solely upon these kind of in
vestigations. We ourselves, dnring an experience of over
twenty vears practice, have had many indi
vidual cases w herein the examination of the
urinary secretion alone revealed the true na
ture of tbe disease after all the well known
methods of the very best physicians of the

I tell the truth, however, when I sav that a

make M.OO in six minutes, or (1,000 a minute,
in t bo Wcinci business, aud his entire outlay or

SrMMKItniLI, Sept. S. 174.
rBEtMA M-ir Sir: I see In a late
Titirty-on-k Thousand Steisway Fr-X,-iS.
The Messrs. Steinway V Sons lire
just turned out their thirty-one thousandth
Piano.
The stupendous success of This firm is ow
ing To their great and patented inventions in
piano fortes rendering them the most per
fect and durable pianos the world ever saw.
One can tell the Steinway from the ordinary
common Trash as far as it can be heard.
Then they outlast any two pianos of other
makers. A nineteee-year old Steinway,
owned by Mrs. Florence Kramer, of This
ciTy, is, to-day, as good as ever. Moreover
the prices are not higher than those of other
makers tbe sole agents Klelier fz Bro., I ic
ing determined to sell at the smallest possi
ble advance. From S1."W to $1,000 will buy
a fine Steinway. No person of sense, rich or
poor, should waste their money on inferior
goods, so long as the Steinway is within
easy reach. Hundreds of persons thus bit
Ten have, after two or three years' use, glad
ly made a sacrifice and exehanped their
shoddy pianos for the Steinways. In addi
tion, the Messrs. Kleler & Bro. sell the pop
nlar Boston Piano of Ilaliet & Cnrrston for
half price. An SHOO piano for 51, a S'iOO
for S:i0. and so forth. The Oreat Bordett
Organ also can lie found at Klebcr's, 122
Woxal street. A sir.g'.e hearing will cause
the listener to reject all other organs and
buy the Burdett in preference. The best
and cheapest instruments can he had only
at H. Kleber & Bros,, on Wood street, Pitta
burgh, Pa. Cltronicle, Aug. 15.

TlDtTOR
issue or your wortny sneci a communication
wincti I presume was inienncu as a reply to
I'ncle Sam's" If tter, und which I am sorry to
say is devoid of everything but misrepresenta
tion and a shameful perversion of fact; but
.as I do not propose to occupy more of your
valuable space than I can pocMhly help, I will
not attempt a reply to all ot his vague and no
doubt very sarcastic assertions, ir it could only
be discovered where the sarcasm comes In.
In reirurd to the church boue In our quiet
and peaee-lo ing village. I desire to eay once
for all that the house was built for The use of
the Lutheran denomination, with the union
proviso thet other sects should have the lil-r-ty
nf worshiping Therein when not occupied by
the Lutherans. With this understand. ngtvery
thing moved on quietly and satislacf only until
In an evil hour a few "rebs" from South Fork
cowed the sexils of discord in our inidt. there
by crostinir some di-t ffnc?ion among a por
tfon of t.ii r rple. With an earnest Uesire to
promote peace and good will among all. our
worthy school directors thereupon based the
school house in this place to tnose who were
dissatisfied with tbe church arrangement. By
this means peace and oruer was once more es
tablished in our mid-t- and nothing occurred
to again mar the prevailing harmony until a
few weeks ago the school board, for several
good and substantial n-asous. declined to rent
the school house any longer for religious pur-
I poses. Ih'nce it was that a few of tne citiaens
or this place nnd vicinity, without regard to
' denominational distinc. Ions, including one or
two of the school directors them selves. Joined
I together and erected another neat little church
l building mf which mention has aJroiv been
I made by your correspondent "1 '. A for the
j use of all wno desired to worship Ood therein.
Permit me to say just here, however, that
during all this time and up to the present, as it i
' will tie in the ruture, tbe Lutheran church do-T j
; was oj.cn to all who came to worship God with- j
I in its walls. It was built as a union church '
and is union st l! ; and had it not been ror a Tew j
rebellious spirits at South lork there would
never have been any cauee for disscasiou on I
this question. j
Deinct.lus" els' boasts very loudly of so- (
cession anu now inucn oener iiiey tare row on
the tax uuesiion. etc-, than they did under the
i old order ot things; but 1 have it frmi some
it the best citizens or South Fork, who would
I gladly return to the union, that th-lr taxes
have been uearly thrlbbled under the new dis-
i pcnsation. These are tacts based on flaure$ i
i Itemetrius" talks very fluenCy about Wash
; Ington having been a secessionist, which ino
i doubt true to a certain extent, but his seces
i sion sentiments were fsr from being of that
j stamp which the South Fot k rebels indulge Id.
' He favored and fought for secession Troin a
j foreign and tyrannical government that bad
j no rirht to demand oteiience when it refused
to grant the right of representation, end the
. grand result of such secession sentiments s he
i entertained Is to be found in tocfact thit this
vast country was thereby made at.d has long
continued to be the home or the bravo and the
, land of the tree. When the ritith Fork s-ees-I
sion ists, some or whose characters, if depleted
i on a blackboard, could be whitewashed with a I
' piece of charcoal when they, I say, acoimnll-h '
I anything that will t-srthe last possible coin- 1
i parison with the grand work which Washing- 1
j ton and bis compatriots accomplished In their
i secession, n win lie tune euougti to bold biin
j up as their great exemplar.
' As I find nothing else in "Demetrins's" long
t drawn out communication worth wnsting ink
! and paper lu r plying to. I will -let up" oo him
' and pay my respectv wry briefly, to roy rebol
i lioiis nephew, B. E- K-," who evidently had
; one of his toes verv badly pinched. If e may
Judge by the way be stamps about and pricks
up his ears as if in mortal pam. I think, how
ever, likeanold mansaHor hi son. that belsa
' verydutiful boy. because bedidn t hit meatter

Mv dear neid ew intimates That I am wrong
about the South Fork Sat.ltath Setoot report, j
I Well all 1 have to say on mm sunjei i is mil
had my Information from one of the most re
liable citisenaoT South Fork, and if he was mis
I taken or misinformed I am in the suite boat.
' In conclusion. I would advise mt rebellious
, nephew, who says nothinr else worthy of a t
' reply. t come back to his dear old uncle, and ,
learn to behave himself in the t-jture and re- l
f rain from medJimg in other people's boat
