The Ichneekevllle Harder. iJ
Some time on Friday afternoon, of
last week, says tbe AHentown Morning
Herald, Mrs. Maria Scbncck, aged 03
years, tbe wire of Mr. Joseph Scbneck,
was murdered at tbe residence ot the
lamlly, situated about two miles from
Scbnccksvllle, near Hollenbach's mill,
Lovthlll township. The circumstances
of tbe murder are briefly these : Mr.
Schneck, who had been away from
home slnee noon on Friday, returned
soon after five o'clock on that evening,
ana snortiy snerwarus entered tne
house ot tils nearest neighbor, Mr.
Peter Scbmlck, and, in a state of great
excitement, Ir.formed lilru tbat some
thing was wrong at his house. He
stid that when he reached home he ex
pected to find bis wife engaged In.tbe
preparation or supper, out wap surpris
ed to find everythlnij dark and' no sign
of life about bis home. lie approach
ed the house and called his wife, bnt
there was no response. At tbis he be
gan .to.be alarmed and suspecting some
thing wrong, be 'went to the barn and
bid tils' pocket book, and then going to
the house be opened the door cautious
ly, and went lu, carefully, feeling his
way In the darkness. In the kitchen
be stumbled over- something on tbe
floor, and reaching down became aware
that a dead body was there. He touch
ed the cold band and thrilled with hor
ror, In bis 'excitement and fear he rush
ed from the house, terrified and amaz
ed, to alarm bis neighbors and get oth
ers to search, bis borne with htm, and
uncover the horror which the datkness
veiled. Such was the story with which
Joseph Schneck, palo and terrified,
burst In upon the family of Mr. Scbmlck
on Friday evening. At once a com
pany oi neignoors was garnered, lights
were procured, and In a body they pro- -
ceeded to what proved to be tbe scene
of a tragedy. And wheu theT reach
ed Joseph Schneck's home they discov
ered this : Close to tbe churn at which
she evidently bad been at work.stretch-
ed on the floor lay the body ot Mrs.
Scbneck In a pool ot blood, while ar
ound tbe floor, the walls, tbe churn, a
chair, were spatted. and splashed with'
the dark red stains. She bad evident
ly been struck a number 'of times with
some sharp, bevay Instrument,- and the
lace was battered ana cmasned beyond
recognition, Tbe, arm and shoulder
were braised, the Jaw and' nose broken
and with a terrible blow on the cheek
bone, these were evidences of the Send
Ish brutality with which tbe lady bad
been beatan to death. Searching the
bouse, a desk In an adjoining room was
found broken open, the drawers pulled
out and the contents thrown about tbo
floor. Mr. Scbneck was unable to say
whether anything ot value bad been
carried away, so tbat It Is uncertain
wnetner tne murderer secured tne oooiy
he sDDeared bv tho condition of tbe
desk to have been after. No weapon
could be found at tbat time which etero
od to be the Instrument used fr-r the
preparation, of tbe murder, but on Sat.
urday morning tbere was found under
a porch an axe, lhn blade of which bad
been carefully washed, but the handle
stained with blood, bore evidence 'of
the terrible use to which It bad been
put. Mr. Scbneck had left his house,
he stated, at eleven o'clock on- Frldky
morning, and bad been engaged all
the afternoon at the sale ot property ot
bis late brother, John Scbneck, which
took place at, Schneckstllle None of
the neighbors bad seen anyone around
the house during the afternoon, and
tnongn there were, vague stories or
tramps afloat, no .one could be found
wbo had seen strangers in that Immedi
ate neighborhood that afternoon. Tbe
hired man Acker was away, and for a
time suspicion rested upon him, but he
has been able to clearly prove an alibi,
and the bloody deed so far must be cat
alogued as a "mysterious crime." ut.
W. P, Kistler made a very careful ex
amination of the wounds on tbe body.
and on tbe arrival otSqnlre Peter Gross
an Inquest was held at the bouse ot
Mr. Daniel Sesame). The Jury sat
until tbe early aaerslng of Saturday
and then adjourned to meet again at

verdict that the deceased came' to her
death at tbe bands ot some person or

" Lehigh " Speaks Next. '
To the Editor of tub Cabbob Advocate t
Having occasion to vl.lt the English M. E.
church ot this place, on Sunday' evening last,
we tonnd the services very Interesting, an
Ul the rev. gentleman, who occupied the pnlplt.
took np for the subject of bis discourse the
Sda" Carnal Ulndednesa." We eawatotice
object In view was Intended tor Lehigh II-
A It Co.. and no doubt, In the rev. gentleman's
estimation, their ball, held In tbe pnbllo school
hall, on the previous Friday evening, waa a
aplendid subject to draw an Illustration from.
We.Uhere certainly was no harm In moralizing
or In pointing ont any evil effect, or Influences
that he might suppose was connected with aal d
uaii. or - ugu. luaotv" oa un termou ic out
when he took the liberty to charge the whole
company ot ladles and gentlemen tbere assem
bled with being carnal minded, he made an as
sertion which III became his position as an ex
pounder ot the Qospel of Christ. Does not oar
Saviour himself aar "Jndge not, tbat ye be not
Juilaed." and ran be show ns a passage In the
ScMptnrea that actually condems such amuse
ments ss danclngt On tha contrary, we read
that ' tbere ta a time to dance and a time to
pray." Now, in the first plsce,whyoondemn na
because, our views are not hla views, or that we
found f(m to dance one night ont ot the whole
year 1 Hut It appears tbe rev. gentleman bad
no Idea ot etopplng at that, but whon he went
on to say that a certain " Dollar Store," lately
In foil blast In this boronghof rlghieeusrieeslt),
waa smother exampte ot. carnal tntndodneaa.
placing ua In tbe eaiue category and on the
same invel with that shebang, ha added an In
sult which will not readiy be traced from oar
memory! we look npon It ss au ontrage and
wholly unoa'lod for at his bsuus. In getting
up tbat ball wo were doing what others should
tnke example bv trying to raise means to pay
off onr debts. In order to have some moans to
Sroteot the town In rase ot Are. There la no
ont.t that not a few of his members who Joined
In offering a pra er for our benefit on Friday
evening, were only too glad to have our ser
vices nut long ago, at what threatened to be a
disastrous fire, aud wonid have been but for tbe
courage and energy ot thore veiy "ettnal
minded men " wbo .o nobly fought the flames,
ana flinched not tiU they had oonquored. Ihey
bsd no need of prarera or prrachiug then, nor
did oar leverend friend ask bis congregation
for a aubscrtptlon. or offer aid hloiself.to pay off
the debt Incurred .in procuring apparatus to
protect their property tnalead, m-ay closed
their pocketbouks titbler when we saed for a
Utile help, and then when we take the only aval
able means at band to raise thai money, the-rev.
gentleman gets np a prayer for ua, and takea
6a. 1 an hour In pointing out to bli good people
bow- totally depraved and carnal minded we are -Well,
prayers-are i heap and easily made, so I
snppoae-that accounts ler their being given so
gushingly. ',
Mow. allow ns to ask. Is It anymore sinful to
allnw and aannllon a Hundav school going Into
a grove, in summer time, for recreation, and
engage in wnai je caueu uopruoagea, luau ius
a paity of young folk-.l.dlea and gentlemen
to go to a pnbllo hall and "trip the light Janus,
tie toe I" tvhleh la the m, .re likelv to lead to
carnal irtuaeanessl la theie any difference 1
a muds. not.
There GATtalnlna harm In dancing. Ilka averr
thing else when csmeil to exoesa. But these
extremes are moat likelv to be seen In tbe low
.aires and danoe bouaea that Infest our great
piuea out tnose woo visit room aie uub iv ue
spogeu or in tne same oreJin wna tnoev inuies
and gentlemen who attended onr ball. Dauo
lnc naa been In vogoe alnee the world began.
and la likely to continue for some time yet,
despite the nol-y demonstration of our rev,
friend. We would i lso have him to understand
tbat, that aehool ball la Intended for pnbllo use,
aud not alone tor educational purposes, and so
long as sucn la tne oaae we ooa a bd now aar
Sobool Board can Justly refuse it to even the It
II. & L. Co wta. appear to be ibe ODly party
that make any considerable use of It, aa long
as thevcan nirfnr nrh use. Tint wn woi lj
advise the rev. gentleman, when be undertakes
to mora Use on dancing agalu and he can have
an opportunity for so doing Just aa soon as we
can make arrangements for tnasquerde ball
to go about la a tar different spirit, as po'tUcal
aiump speaxug Baa aireor insult is a yery poor
wav to aave sonla. desoite the glorious ni ft Ques
ts Uoot and meeaeges dally received. The as
sertion that we had a "lager beer ahon" In con.
neot on with onr ball, is unfounded Is every
respect. Poaslblr the brother who thought so
is Dot in lot osoit DI latinar aujtuuJK um ut
hlmeelf. and la therefore not aware that there
are other and milder beverages salted te such
occasions. In conelualon. we Would Bay. that
so tar as the revival meeting held down on the
lower floor waa concerned, we did not, to our
knowledge. Interfere In anv wav wltb its pro-
ceedlnga, nor did we try to Induce any person
to star rrom it tiey naa inoir caoico ot eiuier
