had been n leading business limn of Hones-

cd, owing between 5.20,000 and $30,000,
neariv all ol which was borrowed money,
Much of tho money had been borrowed on
falso pretenses. Matthews was one or the
bondsmen ol Tax Collector Henry Gray, of
whom ho had borrowed largely of the pub-
lie moneys in tho collector's possession. This
fact was recently mado public. Gray had
been a public officer for many years, and
had not betrayed the confidence o! the pub-
lie. The disopiiearunce of Matthews with
money for which Gray was accountable
preyed on the latter's mind. He was tin-
able to mauo it good, I wo weeks ago he
was obliged to tako to his boil. A few days
ago ho went out of his house whilo suffering
tnun fever. He has not since been seen,

On Sunday evening last,-while on tlin
way to attend dlvlno services at tho Presby
terian church, Mr. Samuel B. Hutchinson,
old and much respected citizen, was
stricken down with apoplexy) was token
omo Insensible, and died tho following
ovening at 0:30 o'clock. Mr. Hutchinson
was born in Lower Mount Bethel, North-
mpton countv, January 17, 1803, nnd was,
therefore, aged 74 years, 7 mouths and 15
ays. At nn early period, while the present
territory of Carbon was a part of Northamp
ton county, ho came lo Mauch Chunk and
allied his labors with the early dcvelopetnent
tho anthracite coal interest. Foranum-
ber or years ho was paymaster for tho Le
high Coal nnd Navigation Co., tho duties of
lieh office ho filled with much ability,
winning a reputation for punctuality and
integrity. Ho resigned tho Jiosition sonio
years ago, on account of lulling mental (ac
uities and a threatening or thodlseaso which
terminated his life. During those yoars ho
reared a family of children, who ate mar
rjed and settled Indifferent sections of the
country, one of whom, Mr. James Belford
resides in Mauch Chunk, with whom, slneo
the death of his wife about five years ago,
ho mado his home. Perhaps no man had
fewer enemies nnd moro friends than Mr.
Hutchinson. An honest friend to nil, his
social geniality mado friends of all. Since
tho war he has had occasion to remain for
time in the State of Virginia,'nd also In
tho West. His sympathies wcro very
armly elicited for tho rrccdmcn, and also
for that fast declining mid much persecuted
race, the American Indian) and ho never
tired of presenting their claim for sympathy
tho attention of his friends. Of late,
much impaired by age, but full or warm
hearted sociability, it Was a dellghuul habit
ith him to mako short afternoon calls
1110112 his friends nnd neighbors, and es
pecially among tlioso who happened to bo
sick or in sorrow; and ho was always a
elcome visitor, bringing with him u halo
of sunshino and hopo. His life was ono
usefulness, and ho lived moro years than
are allotted to man) ho leaves behind what

Tho Centre Square and New Mahoning
Sunday schools held a union pic nic iu Mr,
Longacro's woods on Saturday last. The
people of tho immediate community wero
out ch masse; largo delegations wero pros.
cut from Lchighton and Summit Hill) and
Mnhonoy, Tamaqua and other places had
their lcpresentutions present also.
Both of lUtsi Sunday schools the one at
Centre Square, under tho efficient euperiu
endenco of Mr. Charles H. Seidle, and tho
Mahoning' school, ably conducted by Mr.
Thomas Musslemon have, during tho pres
ent year, been making comrrl&Hdablo pro
gress. A few months ago they introduced
e international series of lessons; and
rough these they havo succeeded in awak
ening new interest in tho study of tho word
f God, on tho part or both teachers and
scholars;
Saturdry last was set oji.trt as a holiday
fur tho schools. The grovo chosen as tho
place for holding tho pic nic was a most ad,
nu ruble eno well shaded, largo and sufil
liently retlied. A largo stage, bcnutlfully
decorated With evergreens nnd flowers, vas
erected immediately in front or several rows
f comfortable seats. Hero tho two schools
met at about ten o'clock. The morning cx,
rciscs wcro somewhat different from what
s usually met with on occasions of this
kind, nnd a littlo moro extended nccount of
tliem,than wo should otherwise givo may
ntcrcst the readers of tho Advocatei
The exercises were opened by singing
after wnich Mr. F. W. Smith was announced
to sneak on "The Relation or the Sunday
School to tho Chuich." The well-chosen
thoughts of tho speaker entertained the
children as well oS tho older folk. He has
devoted some attention to tho art of .public
sjicaklng, and his clear voico and distinct
pronunciation rendered this cll'ort agreeable,
He speaks in German, and his wcrds roll
forth with real German accent. Miss Kate
Arncr, who is possesscd'of a rcmorkably
sweet, though not very strong voice, fol
lowed the speaker with a solo, the accom,
pinlmcnt to which was performed by Mr,
E. S. Hoppes. MrA. S. Wcbcrwas iutro-
luccd, and offcted a few brief reflections on
what was suggested by tho immediate sui
roundings. He was followed by Mr. T C
Young who to the delight ofa great many,
spoke in Mahoning's favorite, vernacular,
and confined his reularks principally to the
necessity, on the part of young and old, ol
leading God-fearing, pious lives, or relying
not upon themselves, but upon our blessed
Redeemer. Mr. Young is known to bo
honest and sincero in what ho says; as a
zealous and faithful worker in tho Sunday
school aud church; ond therefore his words
camo home to the heaits bf his hearers with
it grcatdeal of fiirce. TliBinfautcIassof lb
Centre Square school followed with a hymn
and then Mr. Jonas Kistler was asked to
speak about "ine Gentlemen of our
Schools." He said, in his Introductory re
marks, that ho regretteal that tho subjeci
had not been a'signfd to some of tho opiiO'
site sex, inasmuch as he felt confident that
they could handle it with a much mora
masterly hand. In what followed, however,
he showed that be was fully competent to
deal with the topic assigned him. II ist
words were pointed and interesting, and
the close attention wlilch he elicited from
Ins hearers, was conclusive proof that his
elfurt was highly appreciated. Miss Ivate
Eberts then sang a solo and chorus in an
artistic manner. Tho sweetnsssof her voice
as well as her personal attractions wero re
marked h'y not a few of tho young men
who enjoyed tho admirable renditiou of this
piece or music.
Mr. T. M. Balliet, who haj not a little or
the orator about him, was then introduced,
and in his usual deliberate manner enter
tained the audience by some excellent re
marks on "Our Ladles." Whoever got up
the programme must havo known that Mr.
Balliet was a friend of the ladies,andno hap
pier a selection douid Lave been made for the
position which he filled. He sjioke in the
highest terms of tho ladies of the schools)
the important part they bare in the man
agement and instruction of the children,
tho great influence they exert upon tin
youthful mind. He thinks they will give
the first impdlseofull that is good ami use
ful to the next generation, and by p'rorly
directed efforts they may do much good to
the present. He believes In reoogniiing
woman as the equal of man, and subscribes
to tlie rqiininn of Luther, that

The next plaeoin order had been assigned
to Mr. O. K. Muselenun who, to the regret
of many, was unavoidably absent, He was
to have spoken on the "Oajeet of Suuday

to the guilt of tho men accused of murdering
Joseph Raber existed iu the mind or auy
ono that doubt has been expelled to-day by
tho lull confession or tho crimo by tho oldest
or lho prisoners, Charles Drews. Tho con

Sinco tho conviction of tho murderers they
havo been very uneasy in jail. Befoio their
sentence of death thoy wcro restless, but I eti
cent. When Zccliman was granted a new
trial, and Weis mado hss confession it fell
liko a bombshell among them. When all
wero sentenced except jSechman nnd Weis.
tlio remaining four murderers stood up and
heard tbeirueatn warrants wun iooks oi des

Drews said ho was not guilty, Stcchler that
justice had not been douo him, Brandt that
ho would tell all he knew at the right time,
and Hummel had notuing lo say.
Old man Drews listened to tho words ol
Brandt to the Judge in which ho declared
his intontion to tell the whole story when
tho proper t mo came. Ihcreat Drews re,

Hummel also tnoko about it. Weis cauio
and asked whether I was to kill Raber. I
tnld him I was not certain. He urged me
to go ahead, and said they would shoot me
If I didn't. I promised, but I never intend
ed to do it. They afterward of eu urged me
to tlo It, as the insumnce naanu ueeu oiieri-
ed. Brandt afterward said they hiul tho
plan ready, and if 1 did not kill nun liiey
would shoot me, and to save my life I prom
ised. I knew not what to do, as my life was
In danger. A week or two afterward Weis
aid I should not do it, so far as he was con
cerned, as he eaiil he did not like the job
I think it was the seme day he said I bail to
kill Raber as testified. I then asked Frauk
Stickler to do it because I could not. Stioh
lersaid that be did not care he could kill
any one, but be bargained that I should go
ahulg, which I promised, but deelured I
would not touch Raber, Then Rsber came
tn my house and we went otf together with
