people anxious to hearsentenee passed
upon the .Molly Mttguires convicted in
this county. Jack Kehoe'n sentence
was postponed for two weeks to allow
counsel time to prepare his case for

out of work. 'When he went home on

Wc notice that u compulsory educa
tion bill has passed the Ohio legisla
ture, but its compulsion is. not exces
sive. It requires children of a certain
ago to attend tho public schools for a
certain time each year, and prohibits
the child's business employment for
the same time.' The exceptions are:
1. When the child is physically in
capacitated for study. 2. When it
has already acquired "the branches ot
learning ordinarily taught in common
schools." 8. When it is under
private instructions. 4. When it re
lies on Its own efforts for support. 6.
When its labor is necessary to the sup
port of its parents and relatives. The

In refering our readers to Mr. 1'. B.
Wachtel's card in another column,
we can do no better than reprint what
the St. Mary Onzvtlr. of last week
said regarding this agency.
Jn ell'eetlng our lnsurauee we can scarcely
avoid speaking of the comparatively new
ugency established about three years ago by
Mr. P. B. Wuchtel, und, from what we can seo
aud irarn, hus done a moct prosperous busi
ness. The combined cupitftl of the companies
which ho represent a mounts to a total of
many millions of dollars. In looking over
his advertisement Iu another column, we
notice tho Aetna, of, Hartford, tho "buss"
American company, organized In lxffl, has 11
capital of $3,000,000, and ussets of over J7,000,0O0
Tills company paid quite an amount to one
of onrcitizens, whose residence was consumed
by fire neiftly a year ago. We refer to Mr.
Andrew Kaul. Ills policy was for j 1,800, und
wus paid within 80 days after loss. The
North British and Mercantile, of London,
England, established In 1809, has gold assets
of 15,0U0,0(J0. The Fire Association of Phila
delphia, hits assets of 7,000,000. The stock of
tills company stands high in the market, be
Ingouoted. If wo remember rightly, at about
280. In addition to these, he has eight or ten
other large companies, among them tho
Travelers' Life and Accident. The solvency
ot all Is beyond qucsliou. Mr. Wuchtel has
tho principal business of Elk aud McKeau
counties, (excepting the oil regions of Brad
ford.) Through his o'n persistent work he
is rewarded with the possession of the lending
agency of F.Ik county, and no one will be able
to successfully dispute this runk.

THAOKDY AS DKTAII.FU IX THE
C'OCKT JttiOM.
From the Pittsburgh Telegraph.
Clearfield, la., March :W Although
a legal holiday, the Criminal Court
continues i's session. This Court,
Judge Orvis presiding, has been en
gaged for nearly two weeks in an ex
tremely interesting murder trial.
The facts of the case in brief tire as fol
lows: Mrs. Maria Waple. it resident
of Wallaceton, this county, disap
peared on Friday, November 15, 1S70.
At eleven o'clock that day she arrived
at her home from i'hillipshurg. She
was met at the train by the defendant,
who also conversed with her at her
gate. About noon she passed out of
the house and by it neighbor's whom
she told she was going to her brother's
about one mile distant. From that
time she was not seen alive. Not re
turning, a general search wasinstitu
ted, all the neighbors joining, except
defendant, find the search was kept up
till the Wednesday following, when
her body was found in the thick brush
about one hundred yards from the
road, the body lying in the precise
spot wlu-rc the murder was done
There was a shot with ii bull through
the heart and body, and another with
buckshot entering the top of the head
and passing down the body, the last
shot evidently tired a Iter the fall of
tlic body, and showing a deliberate
murder. Only two persons were sus
pected. Thomas Wnple, a divorced
husband of diseased, and Martin
Turner, the defendant, who had n.
fused to join in the search, and refused
to see the body when found.
THK SKKIUfS fAl'SKS OK SfSI'H'loX
The defendant hit been for years i
section boss on the railroad, ami about
five years since Thomas Waple, the
then I nit-band of the deceased, was one
of his hands. Mrs. Waple was a hand
some and attractive woman, and de
feiidant established a guilty intimacy
Willi Her. a limit lour years ngo
Thomas Waple was arrested for put
ting obstructions on the railway track,
and the principal witness against him
was the defendant. He was convicted
and sent to the lVnitentiaav for seven
years. After his imprisonment Mrs,
Waple procured a divorce. A short
time before the murder Tlios. Waple
was pardoned at the instance of the
prison authorities, who considcrci
him innocent returned to his home
and lived a short time with his sup
posed wife, until he found out they
had been divorced, when he left her
and went to live at Woodland, where
he resided at the time of the murder
THU KVIDE.MK AXI IMPLICATION'S.
From declarations of deceased not
evidence it seems that she and de
fendant had put the obstructions on
the railroad, in order to get her
husband out of the way ; that defend
ant had promised her $1,000, and $100
a year ; that the yearly allowance had
been paid but not the $1,000, on ac
count of which a quarrel arose be
tween them. She threatened to
"blab" und he violence. After the
body was found, the perpetrator was
tracked through tho woods to the
other end of the village and beyond.
The tracks correspond with defend
ant's boots. He was seen on that day
with a double-barrel gun ; said he had
been hunting squirrels, his gun was
empty. He gate contradictory ac
counts of where he had been and what
he had been doing.
The principal defence set up by
counsel for the accused Is the proving
of an alilil for Turner, and they hope
to show the whereabouts of the
prisoner during those two particular
hours, from 1 till 3 o'clock I'.'M-, on
the afternoon of the 3d of last Novern
er. The trial Is fctill progressing.
Among the witnesses are eighty-two
women and a like proportion of men.
The boilies of eighteen dead infants
have been found Iu the past two weeks
within the city limits of Philadelphia.

Oil will No. 3 is not panning out a
hundred barrels a day as predicted by
Joe In tho Inst Advocate, neither is
the swarm of capitalists visible to the
naked eye, yet the well is producing
some oil with a fair prospect of its be
ing a pnying investment.
A euro way to kill skunks, ns de
monstrated by actual experiment in
this place a few days ago. First, catch
the skunk, gctbim into a barrel; place
the barrel in a conspicuous place near
the centre of the village ; have it sur
rounded by a guard of ten men ana!
sixteen boys, let the captain of the
guard, pistol in hand, march boldly
up and tire four shots Into the barrel
and it will kill the skunk in just five
ml miles and nearly suffocate every
body in town. PETE.

Mn. EniToit. 1 take this opportu
nity to thank the people of Ridgway for
their kind hospitality and their etl'orts
to make it pleasant for strangers dur
ing the Musical Convention. Further,
so far as organization, management,
ami object aimed nt was concerned it
was a cottiplcte success. Rut, ns to
number of members, and class, en
gaged, it left an impression on the
mind of strangers that the Kidgwuy
people are not. very wide awake on the
subject of iiiusic. Tin; first impression
on the mind of a stranger was, is this
nil Kidmvav can tlo at a Musical Con
vention V Why, there ought to have
been at least three times as many in
attendance. Rut, when he came to
rind that very few professional men
and not one the educators of the place
were interested, judge of his surprise.
Music is only another branch of educa
tion and has a refining influence and
comes natuially within the scope of
every IjoiIv's interest ana uircciiy
unto the line of the educator's work.
To finish, let the Ridgway people
mark this ; (bat all who missed that
Convention, lost a grand opportunity
for Improvement in more ways than
one. Yours respectfully,

AN INDIAN IIUIIT.
A PARTY OF MUNTKKS Bt'BPRISilD BY
THE REDSKINS FIFTEEN OF THE
WHITES REPORTED KILLED.
Si. Louis, Mo., April 1. Advices
from Leavenworth to-night bring in
telligence of a light out on the Buffalo
range between a party of hunters and
a band of Indians, said to be Sioux,
during which fifteen of the hunters
were killed, the Indian loss not being
ascertained.
After a day's hard work the huntcra
encamped at night, not suspecting the
presence of the reds in the vicinity,
neglected to put out sentinels, as U
customary. About three o'clock in
the morning, before daylight, the
camp was surprised by a large body of
Indians, and as the hunters rushed
out to meet their foes they were shot
down like sheep. After tho first sur
prise was over the hunters made a
def-perate charge right into the midst
of the ranks of the howling devils,
scattering them and forcing them to
retire.
It Is definitely understood that
several Indians were killed, but as
they stopped long enough to take
away their dead mid wounded with
them the exact number cannot bo. as
certained. The loss sustained by the hunting
party was principally by the first tiro
of.the Indlaus, as the former rushed
from their tcutft lo repel the attack.
The name of but one hunter is known,
he being William Royd, of Hodgmen
county, Kan.
