There seems to be a kink in the office of !

than it actually took place, tbe question
which remains to be settled is, shall Mr.
Bosnian continue to liold the office until tbe
expiration of the present term, or shall Mr,
M Connell take poa ssion?

in swimming to shore, although the force of

a resident of Johnstown.
Neither blood spilling nor scalp taking
w anticipated in our county court this
week, though If it had not been for tbe post
ponement of a certain case down for trial
there Is abundant reason for believing that
an Indian war on a very small scale would
bare resulted, or, at least, that one Nez
purse would have suffered quite severely.
When the contest does come, however, aa
come it probably will at next term of Court,
onr word for it that the legal fraternity will
seo that the aforesaid Kex purse ia made to
bleed profusely.
We trnst It la not too lata now to do
what we should have done last week, return
thank to I). M . Zimmerman, Esq., Secretary
and Treasurer of the Camden and Atlantic
City Railroad, for the compliment of a free
pans over said road for the year 1879. All
that we sigh for now is the time and the
wherewithal to maintain a Ufa of dignity and
ease at the seaside during tbe coming sum
mer solstice, and we have no doubt what
ever that those who owe ns will see to it
that the latter commodity at least la forth
coming in due time.
Gen. Gallagher, who was Colonel of the
Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserves in the late
war, contemplates issuing a call for a re-
niou of that organization some time during
the coming summer. Company A of that
regiment belonged to Ebensburg, and ar
dently desire that auch a ro-mloti shall be
bad, to tbe end that old battles may he
fought over in Imagination and tbe records
of the organization rut in such shape that '
tbey may not be lost to oos'erity. Ho
would Cresson do as a meetiug placa for tbe
gallant old Eleventh.
The opening of the largo, varied and el

or N. J. Freidhoff, on Hih street, but a yet
we forbear setting forth in detail what he
intends to keep for sale, proposing as we do
to give blm and bis efficient anil conrteous
salesmen, Mr. Will. H. Connell and Master
James Lloyd, ample time to get a good ready
on before we bid our readers rush In and
clean out the establishment by buying what

at tbe lowest cash pricea.
Last week'a Indiana Democrat, nnder
cover of correspondence from Saltnbiirg, j
aamn county, contains this item : "James
W. Rhey, E;q., formerly Superintendent of I
Fairbanks coal mines, near this place, came I
to towu on Thursday afternoon last, to trans- j
act some business, and during the evening, i
while in the Earbart House, was stricken j
down with spasms. He liea in a critical
condition." Mr. Rhev. who we are reioiced ;
to know has fully recovered from the illness !
noted above, is known in this viciuity as
"our own and only Jim Khey.
Our genial and geutlenianly young
friend, James G. Flanagan, Esq., of Altoona,
was on Monday lat admitted to the practice
of his profession in the several Courts of this
county, his houor, Judge Dean, taking oc
casion to vouch for him as a lawyer whose
abilities and integrity do ample credit to his
altn t mattr. This, added to the fact that be
Is about to be made City Solicitor by the
Democratic majority in Altoona Council,
ought to be enough to insure for the jovial
"Jeems" a brilliant hereafter, which we
know he merits and hope be will attain.
While we thank our correspondent "II.
I ." for the endorsement of our course cou-
tained in bis communication in reference to
G. G.. M. C, which might mean Great (loos,
Blemoer Uongreaa. tint only means George
Gnrley, Model Commissioner, we feel that
the subject has been sufficiently ventilated,
and even if it were prutident to publish
what bo writes, which we very much doubt,
we question whether the game would pay
for the ammunition. If any one feels, how- j
ever, that the other aide of the question is !
entitled to a bearing, our columns are at his
service.
Houtzdale, Clearfield county, la happy
just now because a party of alleged capital
ists have recently been prospecting iu that
vicinity for a mammoth tannery site. Eb
ensbtirg had a little.-experience of tbe same

tlemen who then visited ns with that avow

The proposed location of the new penl-
tentiary at Huntingdon having served the
political purpose inlended, it looks very
much now as if the wholo act would be re
pealed rather than face the music tin tbe ad
ditional $600,000 appropriation asked for to
' erect, it. Jiore than this, Harnsburg and
j Williamsport are again putting forward
their claims, aud Iwtween th retirement of
! Senator Fisher from the legislative halls,
! the large amount of money needed and the
competing localities, it looks very much at
present writing as if tbe chance foi an ap-
propriation were exceedingly attenuated.
! We noticetl the arrest last week of Geo,
i W. Baum and Hudson Oaks for the larceny
j of some 600 lbs. of flour from the mill of Mr.
I George Hoover, near Patchin ville, Clearfield
j couuty, and gave officer P. P. Miller, of Barr
, township, credit for their apprehension.
Since then we learn that Constable McNulty,
of Susquehanna township, not only claims
I to have effected the arrest of Oaks, who at a
j bearing before Esquire Nugent, of Patcbin
; vllle, succeeded in establishing bis inno
' cence, and was consequently set at liberty,
j but also took into custody, on Friday even
! ing last, another party named Geo. W. Lloyd,
Jr., who with Baura ia tiow iu the Clearfield
jail awaiting trial on tbe charge preferred.
The Herald hopes "to be aole to announce
ere long that tbe mechanical works in this
place will be put Into operation, the prospect
at present being that the establishment will
be purchased by capitalists from the East,
who, report says, will enlarge its capacity
for the manufacture of a variety of agricul
tural lmpl"ments." A very hopeful paper
Is the Herald, but as a rule Its hopes on bev
half of Ebensburg are, unfortunately, built
nnon sandy foundations, and as a conse
quence quickly topple to their fall. Iu this
instance it is to tie hoped that better luck
will attend Its fanciful creations, and that
the mechanical works will lie in full blast
when the last spike has been driven into the
Herald's proposed extension of -our branch
road to tbe Blacklick.
"A boary-headed wretch" la what the
Altoona Call rakes occasion to call
name-
less oid libertine who attempted to ontrage
a little girl in a store in that city during the
temporary absence he other day of her
father, the proprietor if s'aid sVre, but who
waa fortunately frusteated in hia hellish de
sign by bis Intended victim eluding his grasp
and knocking hitn down with a weight.
Then turning tbe key on the venerable vil
lian, the little girl hastened home to inform
her father, but as she forgot to tell hitn that
tbe man who sought her ruin was locked up
in the store, bis well grounded indignation
had cooled off to such extent when be as
certained tbe fact that through mistaken
eniency he permitted the hoary-neajea
I yr-h to go nnscattered.
Lizzie Owens. a twelve or fifteen yearold
daughter of Mr. Edward Owens, of Cambria
township, was seized with spasms while at
tending services in the Disciples cbnrch on
unday evening last, whereupon she was
iouiuuu io ine resilience ui jirn. liuueos,
next door, where she bas been laboring nn
der almost constant and most fearful con
Tuisions ever since, her cries being not
only heart-rending In the extreme, but
her contortions so nnremitting and ber
atrength ao great that it has required we are
told, the united efforts of foor men to keep
her In subjection and prevent ber from doing
herself bodily barm. For this purpose mem
bers of tbe church, male and female, are in
attendance day and night, and their labor of
love, it ia needless to aay, is far from being
an agreeable task.
"Jimmy" Walla, one of Huntingdon
county'a celebrities, who waa atrnck by a
freight train on Tuesday of last week, and
very badly injured, aa noted at the time in
these columns, died on the following day,
aged about seventy yeara. The deceased
became famoua some years ago through some
legal proceedings. In which be was a party,
and wbich ended in hia being reduced from
affluence la extreme poverty. Soon after
this misfortune it may tie before It he was
deprived of bis reason, and be spent tbe last
few years of bis life In wandering up and
down tbe county, waiting nntil "the next
term of Conri" that he might have j-isttce
done him. Aathe Hollidayabtirg Standard,
from wbich we quote, says, he bas at last
appeared liefor that Court where Impartial

As we have negotiated for the sale and
received a portion of the money from Mr.
Scott Williams for onr old press and other
material, the 'after ot which we will replace
with new type,, etc.. In course of a week or
two, It may lie accepted as a fixed fact that
Carrolltown will soon rejoice In a paper of
Its own, which we believe ia to be of the In
dependent stripe. There is certainly no
community In the county where better pay
ing subscribers can be obtained than in and
abont Carrolltown, and If Mr. Williams
don't succeed in making a living out of the
enterprise it will not be because the people
there do not pay him, but because tbere are
not enough of them to support a paper which
must of necesaity depend in a great measure
on borne patronage. Mr. Williams certainly
has our best wishes for full realization of
his moetsangnine anticipation.
--Tbe N. Y. Sun ot Monday contalna a
letter addressed to the Coon'.y Clerk of Troy,
N. Y., by the postmaster at Georgia Station,
(George's Station ia of course meant,) in
Westmoreland connty, this State, in which
the writer asks whether It Is true, as report
ed m hla neighborhood, that tbe Connty
Clerk aforesaid has In hla nossesalon a will
made by a man named Karns, a resident of
that city, as the writer alleges. 180 yeara
ago, when that city waa no city at all, bnt a
howling wilderness, and In which the alleged
deTisee waa considerate enongh to leave the
enormous sum or $200,000,000 to tils heirs of
the fifth generation, nearly all of whom, aa
the letter avera, are now living in the vicin
ity of George's Station. An early answer ia
respectfully solicited, not only to tbe main
question at issue, bnt also as to tbe cost of
furnishing acopv of said will, if In existence,
to the parties immediately Interested.
Tbe Cambria Iron Company is said to
be negotiating or trying to negotiate for tbe
purchase of large tracta of coal land for
coking purposes In the vicinity of Lilly's
station, but the discrepancy between the
price offered and asked is said to be so great
that tbe probabilities are that; no sale will
be effected. Should it prove otherwise, bow.
ever, we are told that not less than four !
hnndred men will le put to work at once, I
and as that would be a bigthing and a good
thing for Lilly's, as well as for ihe county
at large, we trust that the Company will
succeed in its efforts, tbonj;h tbe ontlook is
far from promising when we consider that
the tender is from $15 to $20 per acre, ac
cording to location, and tb demand in at
leaHt one instance fully ten times that
amount. Failing in 'hi direction, the Com
pany, if we are correctly Informed, proposes
10 txii'd a narrow guage railroad np Hings-
ton's Run for the purpos of tapping large
deposits of coal owned by It in Jackson
township, this county, and in one or more
of the adjoining townships In Indiana
county.
Our old friend, James Wilk inson, pro- I
prietor of the Loretto Marble Works, drop
ped iu to see ns oc Monday last, and as be ,
does not call very often we deem it proper to !
say something about him and his business.
It is generally admitted that newspaper men '
have the best opportunities for informing
themselves in regard to what is going on in '
tbe great world of industry, and as practice j
makes perfect it is fair to presume that their
experience enables them to see things as
they really are. Hence it is that when we
say that Mr. Wilkinson is a master mechan
ic in his line of business, we expect the
statement to be received as a veritable fact.
Having received an apprenticeship in one of
the best slfnps in Harrisburg and worked at
his trade in various cities throughout the
Union, Mr. W. availed himself of tbe many
opportunities afforded for acquiring a thor
ough knowledge of the commemorative art,
"d as samples of his work in nearly
all
the cemeteries in this county will fully tes
tify be has during an experience of twenty
years attained a proficiency and skill as a
designer of tombstones and in the work of
monumental carving aod lettering seconl to
no man in the business. More than that, be
has recently made a decided reduction in his
prices, aud is determined not only to furnish
the best of marble and tbe finest of work,
but will permit no one to undersell him. All
persons therefore wbodeal with Mr. W. will
find him a gentleman in all bis transactions,
ami may depend upon receiving full value
for their money, as he would
not etoon to I
anytbing unbecoming the principles ot a
man. And hereof we affirm with an un
questioning belief in tbe truth of what we
say.

How Sisoeh Suffered 8o as by Firk.
James M. Singer, Esq., late Register and
Recorder of Cambria county, on Friday
night of latt week , accompanied by two of
his children, paid a visit on to Jackson
township, about nine miles southwest
of this place, to sec a mother and a sister
who were both on a sick-bed and nigh unto
death. When be next got tidings from
hi wife and two other chiidren left bebiud.
it wa to the effect that his honse, located in !
tbe West ward of Ebensburg, bad been al
most completely destroyed by fire. The
flames, so far as known, originated from a
defective flue in the second story of tbe
building. Mrs. Singer was wakened from a
aonnd eleep by the falling of a heavy body,
aud investigation showed that the garret
and other parta of tbe honse were then in
flames and that the ruins were tumbling
down down over their heads. She aod tbe
children made their escape as speedily as pos
sible and gave the alarm. The fire company
responded to tbe summons, and a delnge of
water ere long quenched the flames. As a
dispatch to the Johnstown 7i6nie of Satur
day says, "the Ebensburg water-works are a
success when it come9 to fighting a fire."
Mr. Singer's loss has not yet been com pn ted,
though it mav lie estimated as away up in
I the hundreds. His house, on wbiMi there is
an insurance of 81,000 in tbe Etna Company,
wan reduced to a shell, while his household
furniture was badly demoralized by Are and
water. Mr. Singer and family have removed,
with the wreck of their household goods, to
what is known as tbe "Lloyd building." in
the near neighborhood, where they will re
main till such time as a supervisory board
shall assess damages, or till April the first,
coming, anyhow. After that date Mr. Sln
; ger talks of either going to Texas or en
: gaging in a line of business in our midst
j which shall hereafter appear.
i Sudden Dfath ot Ex-Shfkifk Lihto.v.
! Hubert P. Linton, the oldest ex-Sheriff of
j this connty, while standing on the pavement
j in front of John M. King's place of business,
j on Main street, in Johnstown, on last Sat nr
' day morning, listening to a conversation be
j tween several olher parties, fell to tbe side-
walk and instantly expired. Dr. Lowroan,
I who was immediately sent for, stated that
i bis death was caused by apoplexy. Sheriff
! Linton was nearlv seventy-five years of age,
i aud came from Franksrown, now in Blair,
then in Huntingdon county, where he was
born, to Johnstown with his parents in 1812.
In 1S31 be was elected Sheriff of thisconnty,
was re-elected in 1837, and in 1858 was cho
sen tbe third time to the same office. Two
years prior to his last election be held the
position under th6 Canal Commissioners of
Supervisor on the old Allegheny Portage
Railroad. Sheriff Linton was a man of very
genial disposition and pleasing manners, and
was therefore a strong man with tbe people
whenever he solicited their support as a can
didate for the office wbich he thrice filled
with entire satisfaction to his constitnents.
Tbere was no man in the county who waa
more generally known, and no man, woman
or cr,il,l who did know him could fail to re
spect him tor his many excellent and gen
erous qualities. His sudden death will
cause a feeling of genuine regret among a
wide circle of friends and acquaintance.

The foregoing was written by Charles P. Shlras,
who died long ngo. Were he living now, this
sum a anthor, instead ot talking of knocking a
man down and kicking him for falling, would

Tbaks. Idle tears, I know not what they'menn.

Coukt Proceeding Second Week
Court met at 11 o'clock, a. m. on Monday
last, with President Judge Dean ami Asso
ciates Flanagan and Thomas on the bench.
The names of attorneys were railed, to
hear motions, petitions, etc., after wbich
came tbe list of traverse jurors. The entire
panel, with the exception of five jurymen,
answered to their names. Constables John -Wherley,
of Ebensburg, and Henry Byrne,
of Cambria township, were appointed custo
dians of juries while in deliberation.
A. V. Barker, Esq., asked leave of the
Court to make a special motion that tbe cane
of the County Commissioners ve. Ex-Treasurer
FreidbcfT, an action brooght to re-open
certain accounts allowed as a credit to Mr.
Freidhoff by the late board of Connty Aud
itors, should he placed first on the list for the
second week of Joneterm next. Allowed.
Mr. Barker also asked, through motion, for
tbe board of Commissioners, tbatthepay per
day for the maintenance of prisoners now
allowed the Sheriff, 50 cents a day for each
inmate of a cell, shonld be reduced to 25
cents. A rule was granted by the Court to
show cause why tbe proposed reduction
should not ba allowed.
Tbe list of causes waa read, and all but a
half dozen or ao were postponed, for good
aud sufficient reasons assigned.
At 12 o'clock, in., a jury In tbe case of
Tierney vs. Wilkinson waa called, and Court
adjourned.
AFTER WOO ?f SESSIOX.
Conrt met at 2 o'clock, when the caae of
Tierney Wilkinson waa reanmed. The
merits of thia action, in brief, are that F. P.
Tierney, Esq., endorsed for James Wilkin
son iu the sum of $165 in the year 1872, and
afterward waa obliped to pay the note at the
banking house of Collins, Johnston & Co.,
Ebensburg. As a guaranty against loss,
some notes and accounts were subsequently
transferred by Mr. Wilkinson to Mr. Tier,
ney, amongst others one against Rev. R. C.
Christy for the sum ef abont $75. The re
verend gentleman is since dead, with no ea-
tate. Claimed, on the part ot me piaoun,
that the account against r arner urin.y wm
re - transferred v the defendant In 1 J, ana
should not therefore stand as a set-off in the
settlement of the note. Tbe re-tranafer waa
denied by defendant, who claimed that the
value ot tbe note was lost to plaintiff through
want of diligence in the collection thereof.
After argument by conr.sel and an. able and
impartial charge by Jndge Dean, 'the jury
returned a verdict for the defendaut.
The rest of the afternoou waa consumed
In listening to an itemized accountof a store
bill. Mr. P. F. Shaffer, of East Conemangh,
made an assignment some time since to Esq.
Strayer. of Johnstown, for the benefit of bis
creditors, and the indebtedness of a McClar
ren family to biro., for bis assignee, was
j proven. Ii amonuted to nearly $400. By
I order of Court, tbe jury recorded a verdict
for plaintiff in the sum asked for, with in
terest.

At 7 o'clock, tbe case of Cree vs. Cree was
reached. John A. Cree was plaintiff, and

to which owed the otherarose, and Ibis cause
comes as an appeal from Esquire Fiske'a
docket. White township, toCourt. The sum
claimed by plaintiff was about $35. Prior
to the taking of testimony, aud after a jury
in tbe case bad been sworn, counsel for de
fendant made a tender to plaintiff of $18
tbe amount in full owing by defendant to
tbe plaintiff, as claimed by the latter. Re
fused, for the reasoti that tbe question as to
who should pay tbe costs of the snit, the
plaintiff, or the defendant, would yet re
maiu open. A lare volnme of testimony
on either band was elicited, the tenor of
which went to show that it would be a good
thing for the general public if brothers could
so arrange it that they lived in no other con
dition than in a condition of harmony, and j
Court, at 9.30 o'clock, adjournwd.

out tue claim as againsc ljavm jv., ana some
costs must tie patu anu me lamiiy uo Happi
ness will doubtless continue.
Th6 case of Stewart vs. Dunmyer was ta

the amouut involved being S250. The de
fendant in tbe case lives in Kansas, but was
formerly a resident of Cambria county. His
name, in full, is Simon P. Dunmyer. Tbe
trouble was altout some lumber, to the claim
ed value as before given. The jury patient

Shocking Mcider at Brahdotk's.
A lad named Hunter, driver of a cinder cart
at tbe pteel works in Braddock, near Pitts
burgh, was brntally mnrdered on Wednes
day evening of last week. Tbe particulars
of the terrible tragedy, as briefly staled as
possible, are about as follows :
Shortly sfter 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening
of last week a boy named Samuel Hunter was
Been to enter tbe stable of the Edgar Thomson
steel works at Uraddock's. Allegheny county,
and a half hour later his lifeless remains were
found in the Monongahela river, a quarter of a
mile distant. Theodore Goss (colored), hostler,
Samuel (ieieel aod Samuel Mcl-ain, (white), sta
ble bosses, who were the last to leave the sta
ble tbnt night, were subsequently arrested on
suspicion of being the murderers. On Sunday
Goss confessed thst he aw McLain, while in a
passion, strike the boy Hunter on the head
with a shovel; the blow was followed tip by
others till life was extmct. MeLair. and Geisel
then threw the body into a bag and carried it
to the river. Young Dowden was approaching
from the other shore in a skiff, and the villains
bad only time to drop the victim Into the water
and run. McLain says tbe negro is telling only
what he heard, and Ueisel refuses to talk at ail.
FKCSH ADD DIADLT XVIDENCR.
The Greensburg rmocraf of Wednesday says:
Chief Pender mude the biggest bit yesterduy
that bus been made in tbe whole Investigation,
with the exception of the statement of Goss.
He heard that the overcoat worn by McLain on
the night of tbe murder had not been worn by
him for a day or two, and he resolved to look
it up. He discoverd it. and on examination the
e t Fhou'der was found to he soaked wii h blood.
Ihe blood has dried into the cloth, leaving
leige and unmistakable stains as big as tbe
palm of a man's band. This is a most fearful
corroboration of IGoss! as far as McLain Is con
cerned. It la singular that not a particle of evi
dence has as yet teen brought out against Gei
sel except that of Goss.
Fiirsvir silent.

We find the foregoing announcement In an ex
change, and hardly understand it. If the man ll
dead, of course he is col l. the season of the year
being taken into consideration, snd as to whether
be is stiff or not makes no difference. But If
this chap were only alive, and had ears to hear,
be would be an exception to the general rule
were he to fail to rejoice when informed that his
feet would rot grow cold snd stiff tf encased in a
pair of the Biuroentbal's superior winter boots.

Communication.
Council Bt,rrr3. Ia., March 10, 1879.
Editor Frff.man While perming the col
umns of your paper yesterday, as ia my usual
Sunday custom, my eye caught tbe notice of
the return to Ebensburg, of Evan Griffith, In
which you say that while In Council Bluffs Mr.
Griffith was a witness to a dradly assault in a
hotel. Now. although these deadly assaults are
of too frequent occurrence in the west, and es
pecially in this great railway centre, the par
ticular one ot which you speak occurred about
five miles south of this citv, at a "half-way" and '
out of the way house. Mr. Griffith, who was
on his way to Hed Oak at the time, was compell
ed to stop there over night, and was thereby a
forced witness to the affray. You say also that
tbe "altercation which accidentally arose, ns
it will out West," etc. Now, Mac, that is an
unpnrdonable slur on tbo West, and unless you
Take it back you can continue to send my
Frechas. When wo remember the fact that
last year there were more criminals hung in
Pennsylvania than in all the rest of the Slates
combined, does it not look a trifle "transpar
ent" for a Cambria county paper to be talking
of murderous assaults which are liable to occur
"out west"? I cannot find fault with tbe law
of the Old Keystone which soys "a life for a
life,' and think a more iron-clad one in fowa
would be a good tnlng. In our neighboring
State of Nebraska, whose eastern border for
many miles can be seen from almost any point
in Council Bluffs, there are at present just ive
men under sentence or death, and seven or
eight who stand a good chance for ascending
the gibbet at no distant day. This looks large
to Iowa people, but can scarcely etrlte the aver
age Pennsy Ivanian in the sanit light. Among
those who will soon be put on trial for their
lives in Nebraska are Olive, the inhuman "man
burner," and his followers, the details of whose
outrage are doubtless familiar to your readers.
The West, taken altogether, is not such an
uncivilized and uncertain place to live as the
Inexperienced and rather narrow-minded
"down easier" might be led to suppose. Iowa
is not only a law-abiding State, but is also one
of the grandest and most successful in the
I'nion to-day. True many whocoine here with
"Great Expectations" are. sometimes, like Pip
ot Dickens' creation, subject to many misfor
tunes, discomforts and surprises, and return to
the Ksst as soon as possible. But tbere are
many men when once settled in the West, who
would live nownere else.
At the present time we are enjoying weather
of a decidedly June nature. The sun to-dsy
Is shining warm end brignt. The majority of
the farmers in this vicinity have already plant
ed their wneat. and sre preparing tor t beir gen
eral spring work. Corn is bringing 24 cents at
present and wheat SO. and the- farmer rejoicetb,
because that is a tug once for this country.
The Western fever is striking In on us quite
early this year. Hundreds of Western land
seekers pass through Council Bluffs daily tor
points in Nebraska and ot her regions. Thous
ands, too, are going co Leadville, the new El
dorado ot Colorado, but the majority of the
latter are doomed to sad disappointment. The
Knnfnrril, of this city. Is daily in receipt of
communications from reliable persons there
to the effect that Leadville Is already crowded
to its utmost capacity, and that therearo many
there already who ate unable to gel employ
ment of any kind. So, if there are any of the
Khcimah readers contemplating a trip ia that
direction, advise them by all means to wait.
They bad better remain where they are, especi
ally if employed, than rush to tlisthey know
