Huntingdon, Wednesday; June 23, 1858
: Murder of Professor Baehr
We copy . from the Pittsburgh Daily Union.
of Saturday last, - the piarticulars of the mur
der of Prcifessor Baehr, gentletnan known
to. most of our citizens. He left this place
some five or six weeks ago for Pittsburgh :
This day.week ago, we noticed the fact of
an outrageous assault having 'been committed
'on Prof. Louis Baehr, of Baltimore, on Wed
nesday morning of last week, in the vicinity
of the Scott House. The wounded man ling
bred until yesterday afternoon, when he died
at three o'clock. On Monday evening last,
Mayor WeaVer . and officer Reed took James
McKee, the person suspected of committing
Ithe outrage, before Prof. Baehr, who immedi
ately identified him as the man. Yesterday
'morning, Mayor Weaver took down in wri
ting the dying declaration of Professor Baehr,
in which he most positively asserted that the
Man brought before him by Mayor Weaver,
was the individual who struck him.
Coroner Alexander held an inquest on the
remains, - when the following evidence was
elicited:
Mayor Weaver testified at length, giving the
particulars of the outrage, as detailed to him
by Prof, Baehr. Deceased said he had been
to the depot to meet some friends he was ex
pectingfrom the east; in coming down Liberty
street, he heard music in the Athenaeum
building, and seeing a man standing in the
door he asked if they were singing up stairs;
the man replied, a drunken man up stairs
was making a noise ; the man then told him
he was a police officer, and directed him the
way to reach the Scott House ;
when half
nd.
way between Ha street and the hotel, on
Duquesne Way, he was met by the man who
demanded from him the loan of a quarter ;
he replied he didn't have any change, when
the man struck him with a slung shot, and
felled him ; he managed to reach the hotel
and g o to bed. The Mayor then proceeded
to state the identification of McKey by the
deceased, as the man who struck him ;
as to the dying declaration of deceased,
that McKee was the person who struck him.
Charles C. Balsley, sworn—Beard at Scott
House ; was lying on a sofa on Wednesday
morning, between one and two o'clock ; heard
a noise at the door, and went and left Mr.
Baehr in ; he went up stairs to his room ; did
not know he was injured until about two
o'clock ; he came to the head of the stairs,
and called for a light, and When the porter
came down he said Mr. Baehr was wounded.
I went up to his room afterward, and he
showed use where he was wounded in the
head ; lie requested use not to send fur a doc
tor until daylight; he didn't think he was so
badly hurt ; from what I recollect, he said
lie was passing up Liberty street, near the
Athenaeum, (witness then detailed the same
story as told by Mr. Baehr to Mayor Weav
er.) The porter, Daniel Brown, had washed
his wound before I saw him ; he supposed he
had been hit with a " handy hilly ;' sew Mr.
Baehr a few minutes after McKee had been
before him, and he told me he believed Mc-
Kee was the man who struck him. 1 asked
him if that was the 'man, and he said "Yes,
that is the man."
Dr, Walter, affirmed—Was called to see
Mr. Baehr on Tuesday afternoon last, and
about eleven o'clock last night; on Tuesday,
found him in bed ; he was feverish, but did
not appear to be in much pain ; his pulse
was between 95 and 100; found a wound on
his head, but did not make an examination;
came to see Mr. Baehr at the request of the
brother of McKee ; the friends of McKee
being anxious to get him out of jail on bail;
they wanted my opinion whether Mr. Baehr
was out of danger, in order to bring McKee
out of jail before the Court, in spite of the
Mayor. Called last night at the request of
the friends of deceased ; I gave no positive
opinion on Tuesday . as to his condition.—
Found him in a hopeless condition on Thurs
day night ; he was delirious ; was satisfied
he could not recover ; found the skull frac
tured, and a piece of it driven into the inner
table of the skull itself; found a piece of the
skull penetrating into the membrane of the
brain ; took the piece out previous to his
death, but it was to late to do him any good;
the fracture was, unquestionably, the cause
of Mr. Baehr's death ; made a post mortent
examination and found great difficulty in sep
arating the membranes of the brain from
the skull' itself, on account of its strong ad
hesion resulting from the injury ; found the
membranes of the brain highly congested, or
overcharged with blood; there was a clot of
blood at the side of the fracture, on the
membranes of the brain, and below them on
the brain, itself ; the brain itself was highly
charged with blood, more than a healthy
brain should he ; the membranes appeared to
be the part which suffered most from conges
tion ; the fractured part of the skull was the
right occipital bone, near to its junction with
its mate ; the fracture itself extended about
three inches through both tables of the skull,
from below the tentorium down to near the
foramen magnum ; this fracture extended
throng both plates of the skull, and along its
track the membranes of the brain were more
congested than the rest; the membranes of
the brain were not lacerated by the fractured
portion of the skull. Did not find any other
injury on the head, nor on the body, except
en the right shoulder; it was a severe contu
sion ; might have been occasioned by a fall
when struck down.
Dr. W. M. Kern, sworn—Was called in to
see Mr. Baehr on Wednesday morning, 9th
inst., about daybreak ; fouhd him sitting up
in his room, and he informed me he had been
struck 'by some one ; found that he was in a
sensible condition; prescribed for his injuries;
made an examination of his wound, and
found that I could'nt get my fingers on his
skull; dilated the wound, and made examina
tion with my fingers and probe ; found a frac
ture on the superior layer of the occipital bone
about two inches from the right ear; went
on and treated the case, and he did not man
ifest any peculiar derangemet of the system ;
his pulse was natural ; visited him in the
evening, and he was sitting up ; the next day
his pulse rose up to 120 ; then bled him, and
ordered leeches to his head ; from the first
kept ice on his head ; before I left him, his
pulse fell to SO, and he was better. On Sat
urday he was very well; had no fever, and
his pulse was natural; he admitted his friends
contrary to my advice ; on Sunday he was
also very well, and sat up reading; that eve
ning his pulse commenced rising; continued
the antiphlogistic treatment; yesterday morn
ing"' requested a consultation, and called in
Drs. McCook and Gross; concluded to prose
cute the antiphlogistic treatment. Had a
conversation with deceased as to who com
mitted the assault on him ; he said that as
God is in Heaven, McKee is the man ; he
said this day after Mayor Weaver had taken
McKee' to see Baehr ; was present when
Baehr made his dying declaration; he still
adhered in his assertions that McKee was
the person who - struck him ; assisted in mak
ing the post mortem examination at request
of the Coroner. [The Doctor then proceeded
to state the condition of the wound, in sub
stance the 'same as Dr. Walter.] Deceased
died from the effects of the blow he received
which produced inflammation of the brain.
Stacy Lloyd, of the Scott House, testified
that the morning after Mayor Weaver took
Mr. Baehr's testimony, the latter sent for
me; he said the Mayor had been to see him,
and . he thought they_ would get the man who
struck him; a day or two afterwards, he
again sent for me, and told me the .Mayor
had got the man ; asked him if he was cer
tain of it, and he said, "Yes, as sure as there
is a God in Heaven ;" he said that was the
man who showed him the way to the Scott
House, wanted to borrow a quarter from
him, and who knocked him down ; he said
his name was McKee.
The examination of witnesses was here
concluded, and the jury rendered a verdict
that deceased, Louis Baehr, came to his
death on the 18th June, from a blow or
blows inflicted on his head by some heavy
substance, on the night of the Bth instant;
and that the jury do find the said blow was
inflicted by some substance in the hands of
James McKee.
Baehr was in the employ of Mr. Gaehle &
Co., piano manufacturers, of Baltimore, one
of whom will be in the city to-day to take
charge of his remains. _He was a married
man, and about thirty-five years of age.
Burning Fluids
Not many years ago the only fluids em
ployed in our country for household light
were animal oils, obtained by perilous adven
ture on the stormy sea with monsters of the
deep. At present, whale oils are in compar
atively limited use for illumination, and are
becoming more limited every 3 - ear. Sperm
oil has no superior among the burning fluids,
but it has become so dear that cheaper sub
stitutes have been sought and obtained. The
most common of these is a compound of alco
hol and turpentine, commonly known by the
name of burning
. fluid, which is very cheap
and cleanly, possessing none of that greasy
property which belongs to oils. This fluid
was first brought into public use in 1830,
when a patent (now expired) was obtained
for it by Isaiah Jennings, of New York city.
It is composed of about nine parts of highly
rectified alchol and one of camphene, and is
capable of burning in common lamps ; were
it not so volatile, no burning fluid could be
more desirable. From its very nature, how
ever, it must be used with great caution and
care, because it is so liable to evaporate and
become explosive by mixing with the atmos
phere. Horrible accidents, causing death in
many instances, have occurred from the ex
plosion of lamps since it came into use—
hence a safer substance is desirable.
From some kinds of bituminous coal a sub
spiritous oil is now manufactured, which is
fast coining into popular favor, owing to the
improvements which have recently been
made in the means of purifying, and - in the
lamps designed for burning it. It is but a
few years since it was first discovered that
oil could be distilled at a low temperature from
rich cannel coal, and now this oil is almost
exclusively employed for lubrication in Great
Britain, while it is extensively used both for
lubrication and illumination among our peo
ple.
Vast beds of rich coal from which this oil
can be obtained exist in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Kentucky, affording sources of supply
for thousands of years to come. This oil
passes over in a very crude state, incapable
of being generally employed for burning on
its first distillation ; but by the use of sul
phuric acid, the bichromate of potash, several
washings and distillations, it is purified so as
to afford a most brilliant light in an argand
burner. Coal oils are very peculiar.; a very
clear oil will come over in small quantities ,
at a comparatively low beat during distilla
tion ; then, as the temperature is raised, a
greater quantity comes over, but it is thick
and viscid. All these oils are liable to be
come red in color by exposure to the air, and
they have an offensive odor.
ft is a remarkable fact that, while all the
animal oils may be burned in common lamps,
very few of the vegetable oils can be so used.
The great defect of most vegetable oils for
burning, is their gummy nature, which causes
them to clog up the meshes of the wick, and
give out only a dull, reddish and smoky light.
The two vegetable oils capable of burning in
lamps, are juade from the olive and the seed
of the brassica minis (rape seed.) This oil
is capable of rivalling sperm for giving a
brilliant light. Patents have been taken out
fur• purifying linseed, cotton seed and sun
flower seed oils, to adapt them for artificial
light, but hitherto none of them have come
into general use; the processes pursued to
purify them have either been inefficient or
too expensive.
Rectified turpentine, under the name of
camphene, which is very cheap, has been
tried for illumination, and judgment passed
against it. It requires, like coal oil, an ar
gand burner, and even with the greatest
care, it is liable to smoke, and fill up the
meshes of the lamp-wick with resinous mat
ter. Rosin oil, although very cheap, labors
under the same disadvantages.
Neither the olive nor the rape are cultiva
ted for oil in our country, yet the former may
and should be, for its beautiful oil, in our
States, and the latter for the same objects in
all our States. In Franco "and Germany,
rape seed is extensively and profitably culti
vated. The oil exists ready formed in the
seed, and is extracted by pressure, like other
oils obtained from seeds. The seed is first
ground to meal, then heated to 200 degrees,
placed in bags, and submitted to very severe
pressure. As the oil comes from the press
it contains some mucilage, which must be
removed to fit it for burning. This is accom
plished by stirring about two per cent. of
vitriol among it, washing with water in vats,
and afterwards filtering it. The sulphuric
acid unites with the mucilage of the oil, and
falls down as a heavy precipitate; the oil
floats on the top of the water, after standing
a few days, and is then drawn off by a siphon
or tap. This oil, which can be employed in
common lamps, illumines the light-houses on
the French coast, which are said to be the
best lighted in the world. It is, at least, an
oil to which to direct attention, in order to
induce sonic of our people to introduce a use
ful manufacture.—Scientific American.

The Western Deluge.
The river rose more rapidly yesterday than
at any time for the last three weeks. All
the upper rivers seem to have combined to
send forth their largest bodies of water, and
at sundown last evening, the whole of our
broad levee was covered with water, and the
cellars of the houses on Front street were
filled to the first floor. Horses, wagons and
drays were constantly employed in the water
in conveying freight to the few steamboats
leaving port, and many of the cross streets
leading from the river were filled with produce
of various kinds. - Bloody Island is nearly
deserted by the inhabitants, while the last of
the citizens of Illinoistown were busily em
ployed yesterday in removing themselves and
their effects to this city.
Only a few of the houses in Illinoistown
are out of the water, and some frame houses
were upset by the violence of the current, a
crevasse having been made in the neighbor
hood of Brooklyn. The rear of ,Illinoistown
forms a great lake. The town of Cahokia is
submerged, and many of the inhabitants
were rescued from their houses and brought.
to this city last evening. From the upper
Mississippi, we hear that Alexandria, Ma
rion City, Lagrange, Canton, and other places
on both sides of the river, are completely sur
rounded with water, and great destruction of
property must follow. A lake in the vicinity
of Muscatine was so completely filled with
water by the heavy rains that it burst asun
der the artificial embankments, and the water
went rushing through the streets, filling the
cellars and doing
much damage to the sugar
and other articles contained in them. At
Ste. Genevieve, the "Big Field" is by this
time pretty well covered with water, and the
crop of corn will be destroyed.
A vast amount of property will be lost by
this flood. That in the American Bottom,
and the lowlands along the river will be very
great ; but, unless the rain ceases now, and
an opportunity is afforded for corn planting,
the crops everywhere will be cut short. The
wheat is already suffering, and unless fair
weather comes soon, and the grain is allowed
to mature, this crop, instead of being a pro
lific one, will be exceedingly indifferent both
in quality and quantity. The meadow fields
are overrun with the army wprm, in some
neighborhoods, and are likely to sustain
great injury. Altogether the prospect is
very dismal and discouraging.
Last evening the water was scarcely eight
feet below the extreme height which it at
tained in 1844.—5 t. Louis Republican, 12th
inst.
A Young Devil
The Baltimore Republican gives the follow
ing as a few of the exploits of the son of a
very respectable citizen of that city. The
young villian is only fifteen years of age :
Not long ago, a young Newfoundland dog,
the favorite of his father, was securely tied
by this younr , Nero, who saturated the body
of the unfortunate animal with camphene or
etherial oil, and set fire to the inflammable
fluid, which had the effect of roasting poor
Towser until life became extinct, after the
endurance of the most intense, agonizing
sufferings which the human mind can con
ceive.
The young demon being well pleased at the
result of this grand experiment in cruelty,
next endeavored also to roast alive hiS little
sister, a bright, intelligent child, about six
years of age. Having playfully boluad her
legs and arms with a clothes-line, he placed
her upon the cooking stove in the kitchen,
heated to an intense degree, in order to pre
pare dinner for the family. The shrieks and
yells of the agonized little victim were for
tunately heard by the mother, who rushed
down and removed the poor child before she
was fatally injured. Toleration of the young
villain's crimes had now ceased to be a. vir
tue, and the father was engaged in prepar
ing to effect his removal to the House of Re
fuge, when the hopeful youth suddenly dis
appeared at night from his dwelling, and no
tidings have been heard of him since.

GLOSSY HAIR, COMPLETELY PRESERVED TO
Tilt, GREATEST AGE.—And who that is gray would
not have it restored to former color; or bald, but would
have the growth restored, or troubled with dandruff and
itching but would have it removed, or troubled with scrof
ula, scald head, or other eruptions, but would be cured,
or with sick headache, (neuralgia) but would be cured.—
It will also remove all pimples from the face and skim--
Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative will do all this, see circular
and the following:
ANN ARBOR. November 6, 1856.
PaoF. 0. T. Woon—Dear r have heard much said
of the wonderful effects of yom•.llair Restorative, but hav
ing been so often cheated by quackery and quack nos
trums, hair dyes. &c., was disposed to place your Resto
rative in the same category With the thousand and one
loudly trumpeted quacic remedies, until I met you in
Lawrence county some months since. when you gave sue
such assurance as induced the trial of your Restorative in
my fiunily—first by my good wife, whose hair had become
very thin and entirely white, and before exhausting one
of your large bottles, her hair was restored nearly to its
original brown color, and had thickened and become beau
tiful and glossy upon, and entirely over the head ; she
continues to use it, not simply because of its beautifying
effects upon the hair, but because of its healthful influence
upon the head and mind. Others of my family and friends
are using your Restorative, with the happiest effects;
therefore, my scepticism and doubts in reference to its
character and value are entirely removed; and I can and
do most cordially and confidently recommend its use by
all who would have their hair restored from white or gray
(by reason of sickness or age,) to original color and beauty.
and by all young persons who would have their hair
beantiful and glossy.
Very truly and gratefully yours,
SOLOMON MANN.
FRIEND Woon : It was a long time after I saw you at
Illissfield before I got the bottle of Restorative for which
you gave me an order upon your agent in Detroit : and
when I got it we concluded to try it on Mrs. Mann's hair,
as the surest test of its power. It has done all that you
assured me it would do; and others of my family and
friends, having witnessed its effects, are now using and
recommending its use to others as entitled to the highest
consideration you claim for it.
Again, very respectfully and truly, yours,
SOLOMON MANN.
I have used Prof. 0. J. Wood's Hair Restorative. and
have admired its wonderful effects. My hair was becom•
ing, as I thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his
Restorative it has resumed its original color, and I have
no doubt, permanently so.

Huntingdon. Jatkson's Hotel. Sunday, June M.
Dr. Hardman is compelled to make his June ap
pointment on Sunday, or disappoint the sick.
Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Broncliitis, Aethman
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and httita, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the l3romton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the kings;
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of rat
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in . -
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, mat yet,
they were so administered that they shotild only act corn
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unotlending stomach, whilst the foul ulcerd
within the lungs were unmolested. Ininilatitin taings
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, wittouf
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application fa
so simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not deran ' the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomaah
and bowels, Sc.
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epileps?,
and all forms of nervous disease.
