Thecntlre eastern section of thoeounty
Is still excited ever the rather sudden nml
mysterious deatli of Edward Glvler, which
took place Ht hit home In Kurovllle en
1'huriMlay aftornoen about two o'clock.
An Imtkm.iekm(-kk reperter vlsted the
home of the deceased Thursday afternoon,
and found that the death was the prln
clml topic of conversation alotigtliero.nl
from this city te lktreville. Tlie facts an
published In Thursday evening's paper
were substantially correct. The people In
the nclghhni heed scorned te he divided in
their opinions as te the cause of dm
young man's death. There were many
who thought that it was caused
by Harry Geed, the nun with
whom he had a quarrel en the previous
night, whlle ethers belleved It te be the
result of natural cause. The peeple of the
neighborhood seem te be very Berry tliat
tlie affair Iiad occurred, whether it was a
murder or net, and many secmud very re
ticent about talking ever the matter.
Among these were some vv he knew cousid ceusid cousid
erable of the cir:uinstances.
Ftem the most lellabla sources the In
ti:i.i.kii:nci:u representative learned the
following story, and there is no doubt that
It is cerrect: On Wednesday evening qulte
a number of men met at the hardware
stere in tlie village, which is kept bv
William Decker, one or this paity wits
Harry Geed, a young tnnu net mero than
20 years of age, who lives wilh his father
neat y haf jH known as lltilltevvn, a
mile and a-half east of Harcville. He
had wltli him Henry Hewmau, who Is
about 'JTi .years of age, and ene ofGeod'b
neighbors and most intimate friends. Twe
ether members of the party were til.un
.nyeis n young man 01 me uoigiiiiernoou,
and Ldwaid Gil ler, who 1h new dead.
Myers and Geed iiad net been en tlie host of
terms for some time en account of afeimur
iiiarrel, and it was net long until the
old sere was opened and they again had
words. , Tills led te blows titid while they
were puuimcling each ether Glvler, who
was standing near by, called te Meis te
give it te Geed. Tills light was seen ever
and shortly aftei wards Glvler went ever te
the general jnerihainllse More of J. 11.
Ruckw alter, which is en the ether side of
the street, nearly opposite but a litlle
further west. Oilier was standing
en the perch talking te Ileiijaiuin
-oekf wiien Hewmau, who litid oetno ever
from tlie ether stoic, appieaehcd him and
began talking of tlie limit en the ether side.
Givlcr said that neither of the men that
were engaged in It knew what it was about.
Hy this time Heed had Jellied tlie pal ty and
In speaking te Glvler said, "Did veu say
tliat Mvers should give it te me?" Givlcr
lepliedV Yes.ldld." "Well," s:iid Geed,
"1 can give it te you, tee." About tills time
Mr. liuckwaltcr, t he pi epi ieter of the store.
heard what was going en; he came out
upon the perch, and told the men that
he would hae no conduct of tliat
kind around his place of business and if
tliey wanted te light they must leave the
premises. Givlcr walked out te tlie stieet
and started te go tow aids his heuie,w hkii is
four or live hundred jards away along tlie
turnpike in a westerly diiectien. He wt's
walking along witli his haniW in his
pockets. Geed followed him, in company
witli Hewmau, and insisted upon picking a
quarrel with him. Giler told liim a
number of limes that he did net want te
fight mid ask oil him te go away from him,
as he wanted te go home. Geed kept atter
him and linally Givlcr stepped, s.iyiiigthat
he would no longer go away Irem them. He
then walked tewaids Geed, who began
backing whlle ISewuiau kept urging
him te Mrike Givlcr. In a low
moments he lilt Givlcr about the
left eye. The latter made no at
tempt le defend himself as he still had his
hands in hi" pockets nor did he stiike back
alter being hit. He bald, hew e or, that he
would sue both of the men and stalled te
wauls the losldeuco of Squliollarple, which
is in the direction of his home. Kaulliiiau
followed him, but seen returned te the Mere
and mingled with the eiewd that loitered
about. In the meautinie the dilllciilty be
tween Myers and (Jeed had been llxcd and
all were standing en tlie pike. About half
past nine o'clock, a hall hour alter Giv
lcr had been struck, liewman and
Geed wcie seen going down the iiiku
together tewaids their home. Whether they
again saw Givlcr that night is unknown,
nor can anyenu tell exactly where How Hew
lliuii went when he started after Givlcr
just after the light. About that time lie
went into tlie hotel of Harvey Holdcn Heldcn
buch, which is west fiem tlie stoic, soine
distance, and in the diieetieu that Givlcr
had taken. When he entered the hotel he
said : "Was Givlcr hcre7" Ile was told that
he had net been there lately, iteu man
then purchased a glass of beer which he
drank and left. Neither Mr. Keidenbaeh
nor his hostler noticed which way he went,
but the belief is tliat he started back te tlie
stere te Jein ids friends. Ne ene has
yet turned up who saw Givlcr from tlie
time he started for the squire's olliee until
lie was ieuud the next morning en the
tuinpike unconscious.
The place w here Giler was found was
about midway lietw cen his home and the
store, probably a ceuple hundred yards
fieincach. He was found lying along the
fence of Samuel Grelfs let, between the
fence and a small tree. Givlcr was it man
that did net make a practice of leinaiiilug
away from home late at night, and
when he did net return as usual
tin Wednesday night, his wife be be bo
came gicatlv worried. Dually, about
twclve o'clock she started out te leek for
lit lit and went in the direction of the hotel.
Khe walked almost te the set wheie her
husband was afterwards found, but saw
nothing of him and ictiiriicd home. She
was tee much worried te sleep, and early
in tlie morning told her husband's
father, w hi lives with them, of his son's
continued absence. About l o'clock tlie
old gentleman stalled out, and also
went in the direction of tlie stores. He
walked ast the spot vhcie his son was
found, but nolther heard nor saw anything
as he is somewliat hard of hearing and
does net liave tlie bent el sight. Shortly
after this a young man named l'asnaclit,
who lives in the neighborhood, diove past
the snot where Givlcr was then piebahjy
lying. As he kinscs1 lie heard a gieaning
noise which he thought was niade by some
animal. After he Iiad geno a short distance
he looked back and saw seme object lying
clese te the fence. He did net knew w li.it
it was, nor did he go back te leek. .Seme
time atler tills Aaren and Abraham Stoltz Steltz
fuss came along and found Givlcr lving in
the position ns described above. They at
ence netllled tlie family and ether neigh
bors, and a settee was precmed, upon
which tilvler was placed and c.irr.cdlu
his home. He was placed in bed and Dis.
Leslie, of liareville, and Weidler, or Mo Me
chuuicsbuig, were sent fer.Tlicy did eveiy
tlilui; in their power te lestore the man,
but he remained unconscious and died at
half past ene o'clock without speaking.
TIIO doctors e.Miuilliaueii sunn en urn
there were no marks en the man's body at
all, and the only ene en his entire erseii
was at his loll eye. It was slightly decol decel decol
ored underneath anil tlicre was a small cut
of the skin. When found Givlcr was
fietliing t tlie month.
The physicians did net s-cmte beceitaiii
of the r.uisoef the man's death -md did net
appear mixieu te give niiich information
concerning it te the public, probably pre
ferring te await tlie investigation of tlie
coroner. niorbedy seemed te think th it
a pest-mortem should be made, as tliat
would he tlie host way of discetciiug tlie
exact cause et death. About I o'clock
Corener Heuamau was uetille.l te held an
impiest, as tlie man in the neighborhood
who Itad formerly acted as a deputv ;.ald
Unit he no longer held that position. The
coroner held a consultation with Di-trnt
Attorney Weaver, who in-tiu. ted bun in
have a pest-mortem examination made and
get all the facts pesible. Henamun,
with Dr. Uelenlus, drove te tlie home of
tliedrceased last evening. They ciiiimii ciiiimii
nelled a Jury consisting of 1". G. Harjile,
Solemon (iretl, Jehn Heullnger, William
Uravblll, Samuel Mer and Moses Jlert,
and llien adjourned null this morning at
U o'clock. Docter Itelcnlus examined the
Issly, ntnl lids morning told reisirtcr of
Iho l.vrKM.iuKsi'Kii that he did net
think that the blew -which Givlcr re
ceived at the store, had anything
te de w ith his death. There w ere no marks
te Hiew that any ether blows had been
strut k.j et thcre was a very small bnilse en
ene of his hips, which may have been
can soil by the man's turning around en the
ground where he lay se long. The Ijedy
was congested and the doctor thought that
the exposure te which the man was sub
jected te In lying out all night had much te
de with his death.
Although thcre was a belief that Iho man
hal been murdered, nothing was done
looking te the arrest of the men who were
sup'iosed te be the guilty parties. Ecry
body seemed te be afraid te take any
action in the matter. Ne ene knew
why suits had net tiecn brought, and
almost every mall spoken te en the
subject shook their heads and soke as
though they did net care te have anything
te de w Ith the matter.
The dead man was -HI yearn of age, and
lived In Hareville for a number of years.
He occupied a neat little frame liouse
situated in the western part of the village.
and everything about it leeks very com
fortable. llcsidcs a wire he had ene little
daughter, Annle a girl of II years. His
father also nmde his home with them.
Kdward was a shoemaker bv tradc.anddld
qiiilea geed buslnessln the manufacture
and repair of feet wear. He was an Indus Indus
tiieus man, and wasted no time In idleness.
Although he did net mean harm te any
body he was considerable of a talker, and
was well jiested In the gossip of the neigh
borhood. He was well likes.), hovvevcr.and
had many friends. Geed and Kault'man,
Die men who are the guilty ones, if thcre is
any crlme in tlie case, are considered
somewhat fast In Iho county. They have
never done a great deal te glve them the
reputation of living toughs or desperadoes,
liul they am somewhat given le ipiaricliug.
Their conduct In tlie case has been con
demned by everybody In the neighborhood,
as they showed themselves te be cowards
in attacking n man who did net want te
light, hut en the ether hand desired te go
quietly te ills home and avoid an trouble.
Although both of these men knew yester
day that Givlcr had died neither el them
put lu an appcarance at the village,nor was
anything heard of them there.
Alter hearing 1(5 witnesses this morning
the jury adjourned until 1:30 te hear the
evidence el the physicians.
When the coroner's jury met again tills
afternoon the testimony of the physicians
who niade the iost-mertom was taken.
They testified that the brain of tlie de
ceased was greatly congested, but the
heart was normal. The lungs were also
contested. Alter Iho testimenv had been
closed the jury rendered a verdict of death
fiem congestion of the brain, caused by
ever excitement and a blew given by the
hands of Harry Geed.
District Attorney Woaver was present at
the coiencr's impicsl, and he will likely
see th.it suits are brought against Geed,
who was weiklug en the reads near his
home this morning. Hewmau is net
about.
HON. ('. F. 11h.CK INTKltVlKWEII.
He Will Net Docllne the Gubernatorial
Nomination.
Frem tlie l'hllniU'lhla Times.
l'x-l.ieutcnaiit Governer Chatincey l-
lllack, who was the Democratic candidate
ler governor In IbNt, Ih in tlie city giving
his etl'erls le the promotion of the Dcmo Dcme
eiatie societies of which he is Iho head in
Pennsylvania. He leeks remarkably well,
Is jelly and genial as ever and it is obvious
iiein fiis pointed oxiuessieus en the sub
ject tliat he would much rather be the
Democratic governor of l'ennsylv aula than
see ex-Senater Wallace 111) the position.
When asked whether he had noticed the
movements of Wallace as a gubernatorial
candidate, and the general expressions
that he would be Wallace's chief competi
tor, and whether he had anything te bay,
iieansweied:
"Ne, I have net. I knew nothing except
what I sce in tlie papers. I have been mero
intent upon organizing the means of elect
ing Dcmeeiatic tickets than upon their
nomination. If we had had our system of
Dcmeeiatic societies extended through the
patty and in complete working order last
year, Mr. Harrison would net be president
ie-dav , and If w e had had it in this state in
lssij, te cury en the discussion among tlie
voters in overy neighborhood, showing
tliein wheie Republican jeliey and leader
ship en liquor questions, labor questions
ami corporation questions were tending,
General Heaver would net be governor. 1
think we should this year attend te the
biiHiness in hand elect lligicr, If we can,
and picpare our otgaiiiatieu for the great
struggle of next year, when ail these state
issues iinibt be fought ever again, and end,
as we hope, in the triumph of the peeple
ever the ceritipt Republican machine."
" Hut will you boa candidate?"
" Tliat must lie determined by ethers, net
myself. Democratic nominations in this
state are net given te men because they
pen e'udly want llicin, nor are they niade
by deals or combinations Involving in
terests oilier than theiutcicsts of the parly
and the public. Mr. Wallace and I agreed,
in public declarations in lswl, that no one
morally lit for the great olliee of governor
would degrade it by persenallv soliciting
delegates, and you must cither he mistaken
in your recital of Ills proceedings looking
te the eontiel of next ycai's convention,
or else he must lie seeking support for koiiie
one else or protection for seme peculiar In
terest which hedosiieste leek alter in that
campaign. Hut I have no cencealments.
Whenever the Demecratic: thirty wants me 1
am ready for its service. If the cenv cntien
of neAt year sliould'eiicliide tliat my w ell
known imd decidcd'opiiiieus en tlie issues
involved would enable the paily te poll
mero votes for me than for a candidate
less pi eneunced I would accept the nomi
nation, w licthcr theie was a chance of elec
tion or net, but 1 would supert any ether
nominee standing for Democratic principles
just as heartily. Tlicre is, however, a
ill. line, a plain one, getting plainer dally.
Hut we can alien d no mistakes. Our ticket,
as well as our platform, must appeal le the
masses. We have no hope elsew here, and
te seek a fmUveaiid dishonorable support
liein tlie allied moneiolics, or any part of
them, would simply bring u te utter and
ilcsci veil ruin. I have no idea that tlicie w ill
beauv siinendcr erany step backward by
the party in lblW. We w ill go te the stale
en tlie same issues and principles upon
which we steed in lSbU.
I'pen these woceuld after the disastteus
experience of the interval witli the Repub
lican maiiiiue hardly fail te I e supported
by a decisive nlien of the great anti
sumptuary majority, by enlightened
werkliigmcn, justly incensed by tlie course
of both tlie Republican Legislature and
Republican governor, and by tlie glowing
sentiment of the people in favor of the
impartial enforcement of the constitution -which
latter, as you will remember, the
Republicans in IhM premised faithfully te
de by mi adaptation of the inter-state com
merce law. In these paramount issues are
Iho proiniseof that I lemeeialic success next
year which is ahead 'in the air.' Tliey vveie
rcalllrnicd by Iho convention which nomi
nated Higler te reform the treasury, and
they will be ic.itll lined with emphasis next
ear. The candidate ler gevei nor vv ill be
ene who can stand Uhhi them with both
feet and a clear conscience. Hovvillalsebo
ene who represents the onward movement
for tariff reform, and net one who stands
for reaction against I 'lev eland and Cleve
land's principles. Willi such a candidate
and the system of Democratic societies in
active ocratlen from thelakes te the Dela
ware, next year will be Democratic year.
Meanwhile these who want success next
year will gote work for the organisatien
and tlie tit kcts, slate and local, this year."

thought that his jiivvbone Is broken. He
Is aged about 38 or 4(1 years and had a
dark moustache. He was net recognized
by any crseii In Ml. Jey or this city. Tlie
supiositien Is that he fell from a freight
train, An ordinary spring wagon was
used te convey the man te Iho hospital.
Here Is another case in which an ambu
lance would have been of great service.
A reporter of the Ixiki.mcikxcuii visited
the county hospital this afternoon. The
injured man had net regained conscious
ness uji te S o'clock.
Dr. Ijindls made an examination of the
injuries, nml Is of opinion that he is hint

Justice lu Kentucky.
The case of Clyde Cellins, charged with
vagrancy in the Louisville ki11ce eon it,
Wednesday morning, was called. Judge
Thompson leaned back in Ills chair waiting
for the criminal te ceme from the deck and
appear bcfoie him. He waited for two
minutes and saw nobody. He grew Im
patient. He likes promptitude lu his court.
"Why don't you bring out the prlsenei?"
he said stoutly te the marshal.
"1 have, your honor," returned the mar
shal submissively.
"Yeu have? Then where is he?"
"Standing befere your desk, your
honor."
The Judge leek and saw nobody. He
adjusted his glasses, leaned ever the edge
of the desk and took n second leek. This
time he saw Iho accused. A little boy .1 or
ti years of age steed befere him.
"What en earth has tills baby been
brought hore for?" asked the judge.
"It is true that he is very young, your
honor," said the prosecuting atterney,
"lint he is n continued vagabond and petty
thief, and the police Iiad te arrest Iiiku."
Tlie youngster's iiame was Clyde Cellins
and his age six years. The charge of va
grancy had been preferred against him by
the agent of tlie Charity Organization so
ciety. Although he had a father and
mother he uevcr lived at home, and spent
all ills time In the street begging and steal
ing. He had tieeii doing se for two
years. Whlle waiting among the ether
piiseucrs in the deck he created a sensa
tion among them by asking ene of them
for a chew of tobacco, and when a twist
was handed him, biting oil" u piece big
enough for a man. On trial he was as cool
and collected as if he had been a criminal
of forty years' standing. He addressed
the judge as "old boy," and recounted his
exploits witli considerable delight. He

Ills l,rcsentnthmOr"Tlu Mountebank"
Delights ii laiiiie Audience.
If any doubt has exlsteil in the minds of
Tjincastcr ceple as te the popularity of
Fredeilck Warde, the well-known actor,
in this city, that doubt must have been re
moved hi"t night. It is seldom that a
larger and mere fashionable audience, than
the ene of last night gathers In Iho opera
house. Uvery seat In the building was
taken and many were compelled te stand
lit the aisles.
The play of "The Mountebank" Is some
thing new ler Mr. Warde, but lu il he
gives the same satisfaction te his admirers
as lit ethers. The plot of the play Is sim
ple. Jlclphcger, w he Is a joer street
performer, marries a woman far nbevn
liim, who leaves a luxurious home mid
warm friends te be'vv ith the man she love.
Kvery ellbrl by her friends te bring her
hack Is fruitless, as she clings te the man
who is despised by her family. Finally
they becoine very iioer and ene child Is in
dclicate health. Tlie agents of her family
try te scihirnte her from her husband
by the eiler of money te him, it geed
home and everything te make com
fortabte his wife and child. The
Mountebank spurns the money and turns
the man offering It from the house. The
child continues te grew win se, and the
loving mother is at a less te knew what te
de. She is without means le procure med
icine, and whlle in that condition the agent
of her father came te her again and entreats
her te leave. She linally consents, t save
her baby's life, and leaving her husband's
liouse gees te her old home. When tlie

In spite eftlw exclusion act, the impor

large number considering the fact Unit
none Is supposed te land. This number
Joes net include, however, the meiubcts
oftlie Chlnese embassy, these mero aristo

Iho Chlnese lu the sleerage, 13 were

twenty-four women unit four children.
These latter will all he lauded lu the near

The t mllle lu slave women has lucreasisl
le such nn extent as te alarm Callectcr of
Pert Phelps, nnd he intends te breik up
the practice If possible. The prellt del I ml
from the sale of these woman Is something
enormous. A woman ran he pute'iased

that she wilt secure n husband lu this
country, mid no opsisitleii Is made
te her departure. Alter passing through
Iho Imbeas corpus mill ou her arrival
in San Francisce, she is sold at as high as
$l,fXl, and is placed by her owner In the
disreputable places located en the upper
Hours of Chlnese buildings, whero she
lives n llfe of shame with her associate-.
Through the kinks and turns of the courts
it Is net dllllciilt for the women te obtain
admission. They usually are taught te
swear tliey are the wives of merchants or
else Ameilcaii born, and ence out of the
ohieers' hands ene might as well leek for
a ncoille in a haystack us te catch the
perjurers lii.Clilnalewn.
Just lie le re the exclusion act went Inte
ellect an attempt was madote till the broth

purchased In China and lnieitcd for tliat
purHHe. Prompt action ou the part of the
custom liouse exposed the fact that a large
majority, If net all the women claiming
lauding under the prier residence pica, had
been iniHirted ler immoral tin r poses.
The United Slates grand jury took cog
nizance of the matter mid lud let incuts were
feuid. Oue iniMirter, reputed te be worth
f.VXi,(KH), was sentenced te San Queutlii.
Others narrowly escuied a similar late, and
a large number of women, who confessed
le having been pin chased in China and im im im
Jiorted tlicie, were sent back.

MUM. HAMILTON MKNTKNCKI).
She Will Spend Twe Yearn In l'liseu.
The .liidue's Cltntfce.
Mrs. Rebert Kay Hamilton, who was
found guilty or atrocious assault en Nurse
Dennelly, was sentenced te two years' Im
prisonment. Judge Uoed lu charging the Jury speke
but a short time. He explained tlie law of
self-defcnse Isilh as applies te the use of
ninnies weapons ami ihe use or Ueiullv
vv eaiHins. " H Is essential, he said, "that
you should understand hew the law views
the defense of soir-tlefense. l.oek Umiii it
ns the state views It, as a bteach of the
peace, which might have resulted lu less
of life and trial for murder. Self-dofense
with deadly weapons d I Iters materially
rrem self-defense with the list or with n
stick. The use of deadly weapons can only
be lawful when a life Is in Imminent danger.
The iiuestlen, he said, was whether Mrs.
Hamilton acted the tvirt of n prudent er er
seu in using the kill re. According te the
story of the nurse she did net say a word
whlle in Iho room en that occasion. The
defense must prove that the blew was ten
dered necessary le mve the Hie, or less of
limb, or maiming or Iho defendant. The
court reviewed (Kirtlens of the testimony
bearing upon Iho credulity ofthew itnesses
and the scenes lu the bedroom during Iho
morning. The charge appeared te lie fit fit
venthln te Iho prosecution.
The jury retired at'J o'clock and returned
shortly alter 3 o'clock, with the verdict of
guilty. When the Jury entered the room
Mrs. Hamilton was sehi for ami came te
the court liouse. She took ,1110 verdict
calmly, but was somewhat nervous. Hut
a few minutes elapsed when Judge lleisl
ordered her te stand tip for sentence. He
(old her that the full )ieually of the law for
Iho crime vv hlch she was cenv leted vv as ten
years, but the court had taken into consid
eration the circumstances surrounding the
case, and was disiescd te deal leniently
with her, Ile thou sentenced her te Im
pt iseumeut el two years in the state pt Iseti.
When Mrs. Hamilton hilly icallzcd the
meaning of what had eccuricd, she began te
tremble mid startisl te weep, sheriff John John Jehn
eon then took her te his heuse le lice her
lu her utile prison. When she reaclibd her
room lu the sheriffs house, she gave way
te her feelings and horcryliigceuld readily
he heard frnnitheyard below. Theverdlct
scorned te he a surprise le most of Iho
peeple who attended the trial. It was ex
pected by many that the verdlct would he
ene of acquittal. lOveii members of the
jury said that the charge of thu court was
strongly in favor et I lie prosecution, and,
It was Intimated, had even mero effect
upon seme of Hie Jury than Prosecutor
Thompson's argument. Counseller Ferry,
wliii conducted Mls. Hamilton's rase, was
solely disapixilntcd at the result.
After the sentence had been pronounced
Mrs. Hamilton was seen and said that Mr.
Hamilton was tehlame fertlie wholeiitl'alr,
She charged her husband with belngcrlnil
uiilly iutlmaie with Nil i se Dennelly, and
this accounted for the fact Unit she had net
been discharged from Mrs. Hamilton's em
ploy before. Mrs. Hamilton also denied
her guilt or the conspiracy in New Yerk.
She was willing ami app.nently anxious te
talk, hut was taken away by Sheriff John Jehn John
seu as seen as he saw a new spa per leperlcr
approach the unfortunate woman. Mr.
Jehnsen is vety particular about the safety
of Mrs. Hamilton and has repealed ly salil
that he would never permit a newspaper
lepeiter te speak te her.
