Still More Conrernlnr the Centreville
Murder.
The evidence, in Ihe Centreville
murder ease in which John Johnson,
a Swedo, lofet his life was concluded on
Thursday afternoon of last week, and
is volumiious in extent, so extensive
is it that we do not attempt giving
even a synopsis of the proceedings,
In addition to the men we mentioned
as Lming arrested last week, Robert
McCormick is now In the county jail
In connection with the murder. On
the evening after the first six Were
arrested McCorniicksald said he could
put nis nana on tne man wiio com
mitted the murder, when ho was ar
rested and held as a witness, John
Collins goiug his bail for appearance at
tho September term of court, when he
threatened to decamp and leave Col
lins to pay the bail. Hearing of this
Collins again had him brought before
Esquire Taylor on. the bail piece,
Upon this examination he swore that
lie knew nothing about the murder
at all, when Esquire Taylor committed
McCormick for perjury to await tho
action of the Court in September.
There are now seven men in jail all
connected directly or indirectly with
the unmlerof the Swede, Johnson. A
tremendous amount of testimony, as
we have before said, has been taken,
and yet there seems to be surrounding
the ease an air of mystery which
nothing short of a trial in court will
set right. We have no desire to pre
judice the case of any person arrested
in connection with this crime, but we
sincerely hope that speedy punish
ment will overtake the perpetrators of
the foul and unprovoked deed. For
when an unoffending man can be
struck down in cold blood without
auything being done about it, just then
will our county be.ng in a social con
dition bordering on barbarism.
The law is for the protection of all
and the KUilty narties Concerned in
the death of this poor Swede will find
to their tearful cost that its majesty
cannot be violated with imnunitv.
rVnytliing transpiring between this
time and court week of interest con
nected with the crime we will report.
Antl at the trial we shall lay the evi
dence before our readers in detail.
Death of a Millionaire.
About one o'clock Monday morning
Walter Bryant stepped out of the
second story window of the room at
the Hyde House where he was slecn-
nglanding on his back in a greatly
leiiiorulized condition. His groans
attracted the attention of guests of the
house who on ascertaining the cause
t once went to the assislance of the
wounded man. lie was conscious when
found, and said lie lm.l been dreaming
Hid imagined that he was in a carri
age ami being conveyed to a place to
which he did not wish logo, when lie
succeeded in freeing himself ami as he
supposed stepped from the carriage.
The distance from the window to the
pavement is about fourteen feet, and a
lerribic distance for a man to fa!! when
awake. At half past nine Monday
night theold man was called from la
bor to eternal repose, after suffering
considerable pain, Ills death being the
result of the fall which caused a dis
placement of some one of the vital
orytns, and internal hemorrhage. No
bones were found to have been broken
He was about 73 years of age, and
at the time of his death a citizen of
Philadelphia, nil hough he had for
many years been a resident of Alle
gheny City, where with seven chil
dren who had laid down in dust be
fore him, lie was consigned to Earth's
bosom. Mr. Bryant was well known
in Elk and Jefferson counties, where
he was largely interested in timber
lands. Being, it is said, tho largest
taxpayer in Jefferson county. In this
county in conjunction with Daniel
Euwer he owned 5, ();)! acres of pine
lands in Ridgway and Spring Creek
township from which the firm of
Bryant & Euwer had realized a royalty
of perhaps $300,000 in the past twelve
or fourteen years. Mr. Bryant's busi
ness here at the time of his death was
to arrange for the rebuilding of the
old mill at lower Mill Creek. Dying
he leaves, it is said, a million and a
half of property and money, and
three sons, one daughter, and a widow
to each of whom will be left a com
fortable sum. His will was made,
and his two sons who were summoned
from Kane to their father's deathbed
are authority for saying that their
father's business could be settled in a
very short time, so strict had he been
in his business habits. A close fisted,
penurious old man, who yet in the
fleeting days allotted to him was as in
tent on increasing his gain, us though
the inevitable debt of Nature was
never to be paid. Without attempting
to moralize, it seems that in the death
of a man of this stamp, although
his millions had been accumulated, the
world is no loser, and that the lesson
of thrift whicli his example teaches
is more than lost, by the lack of that
sympathy for suffering humanity,
which such great wealth might
huve made something more than
sympathy, which was a characteristic
of the dead man. Idle is it to crowd
around the tinseled casket of such a
man and drop the tears of pity for his
death on account of his milllions.
Better is it that the tears should be
saved for the poor who in his long
career he has either oppressed or
failed to relieve.

Tanner's Test.
New York August 3. Dr. Tanner has
experienced no nausea since midnight
and his stomach altogether is in an
improved condition. His features are
still pinched and drawn and his eyes
look hectic. His temper is irritable
and the crowd of spectators annoy
him. The usual drive failed to benefit
him and he says he will give up going
out, until the end of his last. During
the morning lie drank at intervals
less thali half a pint of ci'oton and
mineral water. He is now on his
thirty-seventh day. The record of Dr,
Iloeber, who was one of the watchers
last night says: "I don't yet find any
thing alarming in Dr. Tanner's con
dition and believe from the strength
developed when he walks, moves and
speaks, liiat if he abstains from ir
riuiting drinks, like mineral water,
that lie may fast four or five days
more that is up to Sunday." This
strength seems to leave him during
the early luoruing. hours and at this
time tho watchers arc doubly careful
lest signs of a collapse should begin to
show themselves. At one time dur
ing the night lliere was no less than
ten physicians in the gallery. Tanner
seemed to wish for all the air lie could
possioly get and had all the windows
open. A refreshing breeze during the
night was enjoyed very much by
him.

who will vote the first time this fail."
The boy writes from Lithapolis, say
ing: The question has been asked, "Why
don't you vote tho Democratic ticket
f'r a change?" I will give the reasons
why I do not vole the Democratic
ticket. My reasons are : '
1. Democrats starved mj father to
death In a rebel prison.
2. Democrats tried to sever this
Union.
3. Democrats sought -to extend sla
very all over this country.
4. Southern Democrats constitute
the tree, and Northern Democrats are
the "grafts," and "hy the fruit shall
we know the tree."
5. "But," says one, "We are no
rebels." Maybe you are not; but
"birds of a feather llock together."
You all vote for one ticket, and you
are in hearty sympathy with the old

lunger is in the Democratic party.
To my mind, the Republican party
embodies now,asit bus always done.the
great idea of our nationality, and I
spell the word Nation with the biggest
N. All there is in the unity of this
people, all them .js in the fraternity,
of these races that are to inhabit and
cultivate and civilize this continent in
its keeping, the keeping of this nation
in its own integrity and unity and
greatness and power and glory, and in
the idea of its nationality, is carried
out by that political party which has
upheld its banners and defended its
Hag and preserved its constitution. In
that to me lie the hopes of the world
as they are to be developed on this

Republican Campaign Manual.
A "Republican Manual" for the
camps ign of 1880, Is announced as in
print and very soon to be Issued. It
is written by Mr. E. V. Smalley, long
known as a brilliant newspaper cor
respondent, and for many years a lead
ing editorai writer on the New York
Tribune. Leading features of the
book, will of course be biographies of
the candidates. It will be the most
authoritive and most complete sketch
of General Garfield which willuppear.
Mr. Smalley was at one time the
Generals private secretary, and has
been bis intimate friend during the
whole of his public career, and is
therefore qualified by special advan
tages as well as by talent and exper
ience for the task undertaken.
"Garfield as an Orator and as a
Statesman" is a special department,
containing extracts from the General's
most celebrated speeches, upon topics
of tiie greatest interest in the present
impaigu; an I representing the best
li'orts of a brilliant scholur. an orator
of rare power, and a statesman or con
summate ta'et aiid skill, it will be read
Willi great interest. - Another depart
ment, not only of great present inter
est, but of permanent value, is a full
history of the Republican parly, ils
principles, struggles and victories,
with important statistical tables, par
ticularly valuable for reference in po
litical campaigns.
It Is a book which earnest Republi-
ans will delight in, and find the best
of all arsenals from which to draw
ammunition for campaign use; a book
which the independent and conserva
tive voters will study witli interest and
profit; a book which small Democrat! .
tump si leakers will steer clear of
when they can. It is published by
the American Hook Exchange. New
York, whose "Literary Revolution"
lias been the wonder and pleasure of
book buyers for mouths past, and its
price, therefore, is only fifty cents,
it h seven cents extra for postage
here sent by mail. Leading book
sellers, agents of the publishers, will
have it.
Chairman Jewell, while at the
Boston dinner of the Massachusetts
Republican Committee, alluded to the
filing at Waahington, one week after
Hancock's nomination, of the first
claim for pension for a rebel soldier.
I have bad it in my hand,' he said,
and I honestly believe it is only the
advance guard of hundreds of thous
ands of claims of that kind. The
Southern Brigadiers will say at once.
if they get control, 'We have been
pretty liberal with you ut the North;
there Is nothing mean about us; put
our boys on the same ground we do
your' And as an earnest to these
men and officers who fought to des
troy this government, as an earnest
that they shall be reeoguized In some
parts, they openly avow that their
men shall be put on our rolls, and so
the claim is filed in Washington."
Chicago Tribune: "The Hancock
boom' resembles a bumble-bee in one
respect that of being largest when
first hatched. In the first week
after his nomination there was con
siderable ratification fuss and noise.
Gunpowder was burned in large
quantities all over the country, and
the Democratic papers were full of
despatches describing 'enthusiastic
meetings.' Since the end of the first
week the 'boom' has gradually but
steadily declined iu fervor and mag
nitude. The piles of straw have burnt
out and the blaze and heat have
ceased. Reflection has set in. and
men are asking each other in regard
to General Hancock's fitness for a
proper discharge of the great duties of
the Presidential office. Business men
who are Democrats have discovered
that Huucock is no statesman, and
that he has never studied the political
affairs of the the nation and has no
opinions based on information and
reflection on any publio measure or
policy, and that he is now too old to
