Et. HrEALn: The correspondent from
here to the Somerset brmocrat, who signs
himself " nip Van Winkle," made quite an
illustration of himself by his violent attack
u;ioii the Republican voters of this township-
He says in this week's issue of that
pajier. -Republiians. here is a lesion lor
you : read, ponder and consider. L'eineir
ber it. Don't forget that this is an aggres
sive Democratic district, ruled and presided
over by Democratic officers. And yet you
attempt by bribery and uihonesty to form
s fusion for the purpose of thrusting some
of your men into the petty township ofiv-e.
But hnw did fm succeed? Last T'lesday
should be a standing witness and a lasting
memorial. Take onr advice, please. To
save yonmlf from further infamy, refrain
fnro calling conventions ; cease from coax
ing the Democrat to co-operate with yon;
for when yon ask a Democrat to aid you
politically, you are asking him to do some
hing cnjnt. wrong, decidedly wrong.
Stay awsv from the poll., and if yon wish,
be versed in modern Republicanism ; spend
your leisnre moments in pernsine Biaine's
Twpnty Tear, in Congress"' and "John
Roach's Memoirs."
This shows the dirty, low. vile, and wick
ed feeling the average Democrat of Addison
entertains for his Republican neighbor. We
are asked to desist from nominating candi
dates for township offices, simply because
the township is slightly Democratic, and
'controlled and presid. d over by Democrat
ic oflicer. Old Top says. To save
yourseif from further ir.fatny, refrain from
calling conventions." Good heavens! Tbe
Democrats of ibis township had their nomi
nation and old l;ii was present and no
Republican objected to his presence, much
less denounced bis action as infamous. The
ruth of the matter seems to be that the Re
publicans placed a better t'eket in the field
than th Demiv-raH. and old '"Rip" knows
it. He says of Republicans who ask Demo
crats to vote for them, "Cease from coaxing
the Democrats to co-oerate with yon ; for
when vou ask a Democrat to aid you polit
ically you are a-cing him to do something
unjust, wrong, decidedly wrong." He not
only refuses to recognize the right of the
Republii ans of Addison township to place
candidates in the field to be voted for by
their neighbors, but says'Stay away from
the polls, etc." "Rip" has either not yet
recovered from his twenty years of unbrok
en slnniber or is a fool.
Addison townhip is slightly Democratic,
but not on account of snuerior intelligence
on the part of the Democrats. The portion
i of this township lyin along the Yo-uhio-
j gheny river and about Petersburg and vicin -
i Itv represents more than one half of the
j weaiiii ot tneeniire townsuip. ami mis por
tion i. handsomely Republican. This town-
.hip extends far into the mountains, and
it
is along those mountain ranges where L'em-

to arrest thc party on Tyr HilL the morn
ins after tlie burglary.
The first ot tbesa eases, called for trial was
that against Slane, on tbe charge of feloni
ous assault. Tbe jury were oat some time,
when they returned with a verdict of guilty
of aggravated assault and battery.. Tbe bur
glary case was called, and a jary secured
Tuesday night. The commonwealth show
ed by its first witness tbat at half-past nine
o'clock on the night ofcthe 25th of January,
Monday, the station house doors were se
curely locked, and everything was snug in
its Dlace. and that at 7 o'clocx tbe following
morning when tbe agent entered the build
ing, be discovered tbat during the night one
of the windows had been broken io, the safe
blown open, its contents scattered about the
floor and that two trunks, one of them be
longing to Thomas A. Shoemaker, had been
bursted and rilled. They followed this by
showing the defendants io the proximity of
the station bouse during tbe day Monday,
and at a late hour Monday evening. They
next found them at Hiram Hoffman's barn,
a short distance west ot Bethel, at an early
hour Tuesday morning. From there they
traced them to Tyre Hill where, when on
the sled of Mr. Daniel Bowman, they were
met by the Johnstown officers and "Shen
andoah Red" was captured. The other
three were then traced to the barn near Geis
town. where they were captured by Mr,
Jack Watkins. The bundles found iu their
possession were brought into conn, and
when opened were found to contain fuze,
dr.lls, powd-r, etc., and a large lot of jewel
ry, handkerchiefs, a suit of clothes, neck
ties, etc, etc The major portion of these
gj'ds were identified by Mr. Shoemaker as
Lis, and as having been stolen from his
trunk on the nigbt of the 25th of January.
Tbe bundles also contained parcel of jew
elry, etc thai was not identified, and that
was prooably a portion of the plunder of a
former raid. This jewelry was taken charge j
of by oiucer Harris, of Johnstown.
Tbe defendants had no witnesses in their
behalf, but went on the stand and told a
well concocted story. It will be remember
ed tbat " Dutcuy " was taken to Sew York
state on a charge of,in Eider shortly after bis
arret- Pue defense was that the prisoners
on triul, on the nigbt of thei'th of January,
were slumbering peacefully in the barn of
one 11 1 rani Hoffman, in Conemaugh town
ship, Somerset county. Pa. ; that at an early
hour tbe following morning their quiet
slumbers were rudely broken by a son of the
said Hiram Moffiuan. while in the act of
getting hy from the mow to feed ca'tie.
agging a pitchfork into the head of one of
the defendants, known as ' Laughing Char
ley " ; that upou their arising it was discov
ered that during the darkness of the previ
ous night their number had been incrpused
by one Edward Button, -liia "llotehy."
joining them ; tbat on starting out on their
travels it was found tbat ibesaid Datchy
was encumbered with three bandies resem
bling in appearance those now on the t un
sel tali'e, and that he, tha said " Duuhy,"
was foot-sore and weary ; filled with eom
passiou and a desire to assist fellow-mortal
in distress the defendants took charge of the
bundles, thus accounting lor having them in
their possession wben met by the officers on
Tyre Hill. The defendants all told the same
story, a rather long and interesting one. and
tbe most rigid and careful cross-examination
failed to elicit the slightest contradic
tion. The trial was a long and tedious one.
The counsel for the defense made a vigorous
a-id able effort to acquit theirclients bat tlie
jury only took a few moments to consider,
when they came into court with a verdict ef
" guilty in manner and form as tbe defend
ants stand indicted."
On the charge of fellonious aswult there
was no evidence against Gallagher and he
was ac-juitted, while Burns was convicted
of a simple assault. "Siiffer"and "Red"
both plead guiitp to carrying concealed
weapons, and there not being suVcient evi
dence to convict " Laughing Charley " of
having earned concealed weapons "within
the jurisdiction of this court," be was ac
quitted on this charge, although be bad a
revolver in his pocket when arrested.
Tbe prisoners were brought into conrt to
receive sentence Thursday niht. Messrs.
CotTroth and Hay made earnest and eloquent
appeals to tLeCcnrt for mercy, especially in
tbe case of Burns, whose mother and broth
er were present with the strongest sort of
testimonials from leading citizens of hen-
andoah, certifying that the prisoner bad
heretofore bora an irreproachable charac
ter. After listening patiently to tbe re
marks of counsel, the court iaipossd the
following sentences :
John Slane, for participation in the bur.
giary, three years io tha penitentiary; for
1
aggravated assault ana cattery, tcree years
and for carrying concealed weapons one
year, making in all seven years in the peni
tentiary. Charles Gallagher, for participating in the
bur lary, was sentenced to four years in the
penitentiary.
Timothy Burns, for participating In the
1 burglary, tnree years in the penitentiary ;
' for carrying concealed weapons one year"
and fur assault one year, making in ail five
years iu tlie penitentiary.
The sentence of Burns for assault was the
full limit of the law, and was probably the
most severe sentence ever imposed for a like
offence in this Court. Daring the three days
mat were consumed in tbe trial or these
. cases the court room was crowded, benches,
aisles and galiery, bv carious men and bovs
who never seemed to grow weary or lose in-

respectfully represents :
First, That the court house and jail are
