PRINCIPLES
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNISDAY, DECEMBER 11,
The AesthetioB of Murder.
Tho only writer who has troated of
murder in an appreciative ' modorn
spirit, by which wo rucun the spirit
now manifest in American juries, was
calturod essayist born eighty-six
years ago who regnrded it as a fine
art. some people thought bim ucart-
o.ss and villainous, and tbo best of
pcoplo thought him ironical, but had
ho writton bis celebrated cassny on
"Murder as a Fino Art" in 1872 he
would have boon considered a philoso
pher. Murder is no longer debatable
as a matter of fact, but as a matter of
form. Tho cumulative verdicts of
American juries compel us to criticise
murder, If we criticise a statue, or a.
olclore.- an oratorlo-or n pm. - We
may speak ol the "design, r tho "group
ing," the "light and shade," the "po
etry and sentiment," but we may no
longer donounce the act as hideous or
heinous perse. Tbo days whon the
husbands of Dacian . wives and the
sons of Tbracian mothers were butch
orod to make a Roman holiday are
passed, but modern civilisation has
only enlarged tho amphitheater fur
murder, and thrown ovor it the pro
tection and eanction or law, as exhib
ited ill the sacred right of trial by jury.
Modorn butchery has reached a state
of such colossal Miblimity and rcsthet-
ical excollcnce, nndur tho tender train
ing of modern juries, that it deserves
to bo treated, us tha British essayist
treated it, as one of tho line arts.
Not long ago, a young man in Vir
ginia was murdered for peeping into a
parlor window ana reporting what lie
saw lo the father of the girl, whose
amours with a rival the too curious
lovor could not tolerato. Tho mur
derer was, of courno, acquitted. Men
tion has been mudo In our columns of
tho fact that a man may not kits bis
wife in publio, or bear truthful wit
ness figninst his nolghbor, or ttike
measures to resloro his gum shoes to
thoir wonted place in the borne of bis
mistress, nor a woman roluFe to marry
a barber and be spared, and still later
it appears that a man may not domol-
ish furniture and live. J o show bow
popular murder is bocoming it is only
necossary to stale that nearly thirty
practitioners in tho murder profession
uro in tho JNow aork "lombs await
ing the formalities that attend an ac.
quiltul by an American jury. Ros
enzweig, who killod a girl and packed
her in a trunk and attempted to ship
bcr West, having grown weary ot in
carceration at Sing Sing, is about to
have a new trial and go free. The
same hour that brings us the news of
the murder of tho breaker of furniture
in Circlovilld conveys tho intulligonuo
that a jury in Sidney, in twenty min
utes, returns a verdict of "Not guilty",
iu the caac ol a mnn popuiariyToudV:
cd to bo guilty of a murder as improp.
cr and unartistio as any known since'
tho invention of tbo art by Cain socio
years ago.
Since it is hopeless to appeal lo
juries for the suppression of murder,
which is oertainly wrong ana ougni
to bo suppressed, an appeal should be
made to the lu6to ol those woo prnc-
lico murder that some limitation at
least may be thrown around it. A dis
tinguished critio in murder has re
stricted its subject to throe classes.
The person to be murdered should be
a "good man," be should "not bo a
publio character, and bo should be
"in (rood health." Into the philoso
phy of Hub classilicuion ana limita
tion we can not enter, but it would
gratify many peoplo who have con
sidoruble unfinished earthly business
lo know that there is a lino of do.
markalion somowhero beyond which
the murderers may be persuaded not
to pass. The authority to which we
have appealed maintains by way of
corollary and illustration that no tni
lor above twenty-five, who la then sure
to bo dyspeptic, ahoulu bo Included in
tho lint ol victims which good taste
would sanction, and that tho subject
ought to have a family of young chil
dreta wholly dependent on his exer
tions for support, by way of deepen.
ing the pathos. If these restrictions
could bo enforced the majority of our
countrymen would oxporiunco a sense
of socurity to which they have long
beon a stranger.
A very important question next
arises as to what persons are entitled
to practice muraor. i nai iui r worn
and rich mon aro, ipso facto, abund
antly authorised to engage lu the pro
fession of murder, has beon settled in
our Courts ovor and ovor again. Wo
have named several othor classes ol
peoplo equally ontitlod to undertako
una caning, uui somo limit muni oo
fixed. The good of the community
would seem to demand that minor be

' Tho two lived happily together for
some time, or oppurcntly so. The
life of tho wife, however, was soon
rendorcd wretched by the discovery
that another bad supplanted her. in
her husband's affections. This how-

to fill some cases that Mr. Wright in
tended exploding in wells that day.
Tho facts of tho explosion, or by
what mlfclinnco it occurred, can never
be known till tho great day when all
thirgs shall bo revealed. Tho last
scon of tho men thoy wore in perfect
health and spirits, and entoring tne
sleigh they drovo gaily on their way
to meet a sudden and awiui uonin.
As they had taken a hatchet with
them it may have beon possible that
the explosion resulted from a careless
attempt lo open one ol tne cans.
The magazine, as has boen staled
above, was situated ubnut one-half
mile up the rivor from Scruhgrass,
and ten yards from tho railroad track.
The place was unfroquenlod, and lo
cated with a view lo tbo safety of Iho
neighborhood should an explosion oc
cur. At the time of Ihe accident it
contained eight tbirly-ftvo pound cans
of the explosive agent, an amount sul.
ficiont to sweep Oil City out of exis
tence should it explode in one of the
business streets.
The shock was liko that of an earth
quake accompanied by a sharp peal of
thunder, ihe Oil City accommoda
tion, due at Scruhgrass at 9.20, pulled
out at 0.30, and had advanced about
one hundred yards on its way when
the terrific explosion occurred, snak
ing the solid ground on sll sides. The
concussion seemed to strike the wheels
of the looomotive and cars, and for a
moment to check its headway. The
glass in tho windows wasshallorcd to
fragments and the frightened passen
gers were impressed wilh the belief
that the boiler ot the locomotive nau
blown up. It seemed as if old earth
had concluded to go on a spree for a
brief period, and chaos would rcsunio
its sway. Tho concussion seemed to
go diagonally across the river, and
evidently followed tho oourae of the
same fur somo distance.. The inmates
of a houso nearly opposite were badly
shaken up. Ihe bonne rocked as
knnn-k In ft) yee.n nfa ffHirfnl hnrri
cane, the clock wus thrown Irom tn
stand, the crockery from the shelves.
and the inmates rushed out In great
terror to find the cause of the iinwont
ed phenomenon, it was distinctly
felt at Parker's Landing, and by a
gentleman on horse back at the Alar
tin farm six miles Irom that point.
An Oil City gentleman, who was at
the sands wells at tho limo, hoard the
explosion distinctly. He states that it
was so loud that the workmen thought
a boiler had explodod neai1 al hand.
A little boy standing near called out
that it was thunder. This point is
fully twenty miles from tho scene of
disaster, and how terrilio tho oxplosion
can readily be imagined.
The ground whero Ihe magazine
had stood was lorn up us by some
oonvulsion of nature. Tho troos and
bushes around wero shattered and
divested of thoir limbs, and the tops
of largs old troos wero twisted otf us
they had boon mere twigs. Iho
sight looked as if a whirlwind had cn-
vclopod it and cxaustcd lis power lor
harm.
As soon as tho explosion occurred
mon from Scruhgrass and the neigh
borhood rushed for tho magazine. A
terrible scene met their view, but with-
out wailing to oxamino Iho silo, thoy
proceeded to search lor the bodies ol
Wright and Noble. They were liter
ally blown to fragment, und only oc
casionally could a bit of flesh, bono or
clothing be found. Up to 1 o clock In
tho afternoon the only romuins found
would scarcely fill a cigar box. Jlits

of tho commiltoo asked what right he
had to lock ap lhat amount of money.
Then ho got angry nnd told the in
that it was none of thoir d d busi
ness; that tho monoy was his own
and bo could do with it as ho liked ;
and it was about this time that the
committee found that they had made
a mistake. Smith collected about
fifty dollnrs witness fees, and rolnrncd
lo Now York, and that was tbo last
of tho silly investigation. A gentle
man who was also a witness beloro
tho commiltoe said, subsequently, that
Smith actually carried the 85,000,000

pockets, and into tlieso the money
was stowed.

hoard a pnrly now resident horo re

at ono timo resided in Clinton county
(then Centre) at Beech Creek, about

wifo of our informant was one of his
pupils. "Duck" Cltifl in, us he was fa
miliarly culled, was considered a rigid

Adner as clever fellows: nhrowd. vet

and Buck was ono of tho best rifle shot

him about the manner in which bo
got his spouse that indicates, if true,
a cunning disposition. His dulcincn's
old dad wa a respectable old squire.
but a little "close. llo was opposed
lo tho match, and Buck, was deter
minedly iu favor of it. The old iiiiiu'h
objection wcro mainly lo the poverty
of his would-be son-in law. Wilh n
fatherly care, he wanted to start Ins
daughter out fairly provided for.
Buck's part was to ovcrcomo thoso
objections, and as ha hadn't the hard
cash, ho bad to adopt a ruse to sur
mount the dilliculty. it seems he bud
on hand sjino counterfoil noies, tech
nically culled "tho qurer." Just what
Buck" was doing with this kind of
money or where ho got it truditioli
doth not sny. To bo churitahlo wo
should suppose he borrowed it for thu
occason. lo that as it may, the story
runs that he filled a pocket with thi
stuff nnd managed to hare himself fall
into the river. Rescued from a wit
cry grave, ho sonkedly presonled him
self ut the house und alter telling ot'
his narrow escape in n manner that
would heighten tho drnttialio effect of
his plan, ho proceeded lo empty his
pockets of the soiled bank bills. Tho
tamo worked like a charm ! Tho old
dad's eye sparkled, n pntornnl stnilo
lit up his usually stern features, and
everything grew lovely for Buck. A
man who carried no much money
about him as this accident had shown
Buck to have, was limply able to tako
core of a wife, und paterfamilias gra
ciously gavo his consent. And so
Buck Claflin is said lo hnvo won hi

OiuciiN or Foolscap Paper. Tho
term foolscap, to designate a certain
kind of pnpor, nn doubt has puzzled
many an inquirer. The origin Is not
only amusing but historical. Charles

nopo'ics'for the support of the gov

manufacture of paper. Tho wntor
mark ol tho finest sort was tho royal
arms ot p.ngiuna. i no consumption
of this nrticlo was great, and large
fortunes were rondo by ihoso who
had purchased tho exclusive right to
vend it. This, among othor monopo
lies, was sol asido by tho pnrlinmont
thnt brought Charles 1. In Iho scaf
fold ; and, by tho way of showing
contempt for the King, they ordored
the royal arms from tho paper, and a
