The Meyersdat Burglars.
Tte three men who were captured at Bed
ford last wetk have been identified as the
men who burglari-ttd Hay's ar.! Lint's stem
at Meyersdale several weeks ao. They are
cow in the county ji.il. They are registered
as J a rues Murphy, John Koberts and Wil
liam roagb.rty.
Murphy, who I- greatly andersire, and tor
that r- ason reaiiiy recognhed, laughed quite
heartiiy vh.n a Hxau reporter Tisi'.ed
Lim in the jail yesterday.
" 1 'h. y; s," said he. " Ja.ige F.aer sent me
up for tun years in l-s,s for doing the Mil
ler Leydig job at Salisbury, but we are in
nocent this time, and can easily prove an al
ibi if we can manage to pet our witnesses
here from Kittaiinlrg. I wish you could
have witnessed the excitement creaud along
the liae ou our way from Bedford to Somer
set. At Hyadman they rood as in a row
in front of the station, while the entire mala
population of the town file! by to take a
look at us. The snow was too deep for the
ladies to join in the pr-crssioa sj we were
para led throngh the stretis in order that
tbiy too m!ght fake a loe at vs.
At Meyersdale we drew a larger crowd
ta:i Barnum's circus would have. Not only
all the people of the town turned out to see
us, bat crowds came in from the country.
It as broad daylight, but thatdila't pre
vent them from turning on the electric
lights. They were bound we shouldn't es
caoe. Several or the witnesses called at the
bearing they gave us declared positively that
we were not the men. It was funny the
way lh y were choked otf from saying any
thing more before the Justice. It would
have made a dog laugh."
" H ow old are yoa, Murj by ?" asked the
Sheri:r.
Forty one," was the reply.
" My register shows that you were forty
one tor years ao," said the Sheriff.
-Is that so?" laughed Murphy. " Weil,
there's a mistake somewhere, and maybe it's
because I'm small for my age."
Kobe rts and Dougherty are innocent look
ing fellows, and claim to be innocent of the
charges against them.
John Roberts and Joseph Wilson, who
was sect to the penitentiary from this coun
ty at the sam-' time as Murphy, are said to
be identical.

Falling in Line
It makes the public exceedingly weary to
read much of the uncalled lor rot in the
newspapers that sta-ts out in this wise:
" Whereas, it has plea -ed God to remove
from our midst," etc., etc. For Heaven's
sake, whea will this "tomfoolery" end 7
l,et it 1 emphatically understood right here
that the 'lnr, like the Somerset Hihip
will positivi ly refuse to bore its readers with
resolutions of respect unless they are paid
for st advertising rates. It is not the miss
ion of the press to bore the public with reso
lutions of re-pect, but if an eJ.t r mut

A Rare Opportunity.
The horse breeders of Somerset aad ad
joining countiia should avail themselves of
the opportunity they now have of securing
first -class imported stallions before it is too
late. The horses now at the Somer et House
stabls will remain only a short time longer,
s purchasers should not deiay as they will
probably never get another chance of s -tiring
such horses at their own door and at
anything near as low priced as this stock is
orfere I. livery auiuja! in this lot ia record
ed ia the authorial stud books of their re
spective breeils, an! are ail right in every
resjct. Many brevders are making a great
mistake in using grade stallions, as the pres
ent low prices for common stock shows,
while g'xi horses always command a ready
sale at paying prices. These horses are of
fered on easy terms to res .nsibie parties,
or a i.beral discount will be given for cash.
There is no better investment than a first
class imported stallion.

Mysterious Murder at Cumberland.
The pee-ple of Cumberland are greatly ex
cited over ti-- mysterious murder of Timothy
Hirgii, a B. O. locomotive engineer, at
that place Mond-.y night of last week. His
dead body was found upon the railroad
tracks Tuesday morning. It lay across the
rail of tbe eastbound track in a perfectly
straight line and was cut in twain at tbe
-waist. But there were a number of wounds
ahouf the head and face, and it is inferred
that he was attacked by a couple of men
who Lit him simultaneously four or Eve
times and plael his body across the track
for a tiain to run over.
The coroner's jury investigated the case
and declared that Hlggins had been mur
dered. He leaves a wife aad one child at
Conr.elisvi'le.
A sensstional story in connection with
Hieirias' death, and one that may probably
lead to the detection of the murderers is told,
by B. fi O. trainmen. It is said that the
murdered engineer bal a quarrel with a
brakemaa one evening about the holidays,
and in the heat of passion declare.-! that he
would kill the brakeman before their train
reached Connellsviile. Ia less than an hoar
afterwanls the brakemaa fell from the top
of a car near Erojks' tunnel and was killed.
The threat ma ie by the engineer was car
ried to the ears of the dea! man's brothers,
who reside ia Cumberland, and they took
an early opportunity to wait upon him and
demand an explanation. Tbe engineer said
he had no revollce-tion of making the threat
attributed to him, and if he had it was
while he was angry, and was not intended.
His explanation was not received in good
part and he was warned to quit running an
engine into Cumberland, as his life was in
danger.

TRAGEDY ON A LOCOMOTIVE.
Elv.n Fuhrer Shoots and Instantly
Kills Micr.ael Nlland.
CUIUS HE SHOT IX SELF-DEFOSE.
INTERVIEW WITH THE PRISONER
Fathers of the Principals Meet in
the County JaiL
Michael Nibuid. a B. A 0. E. R. fireman,
residing at Con nellsville, was shot and in
stantly killed at Y eder's siding, two miles
west of Meyersdale, at an early hour
Wednesday morning.
The fatal shot was tired by El vin fuhrer,
flagman of the engine. The ball pierced the
victim's heart and lodged in his spine.
Fuhrer was arrested at B xkwood an hour
after the tragedy and is now in the county
jail.
Tbe ertgine. No. 4A"., on which the trag
edy occured was a helper in charge of engi
neer Joeph F. Daugherty. Tbi crew help
ed a loaded train up the mountain to Sand
Patch, after which they started back to Con
neilsville with orders to take the side track
at Yoder and wait until tbe east bound Ex
press pa&scd by. The express was consider
ably oetiind time and it was a lonely wait
for tbe trainmen. Niiand, in order to light
en his labor on the return trip, got down
from Lis teat in the cab, went into tbe tank
and commenced to pull down coal. He ask
ed Fuhrer to shovel the coal forward as he
dug it loose, but the la'ter refused, saying
that he would not shovel coal on a light
engine. Hot words followed and Niiand,
with his fireman's coal pick upraised in his
hands, advanced threateningly on Fuhrer,
when the latter drew a revolver and fired.
At the report of the shot engineer Daneh-e-rty,
the only other occupant of the engine
jumped from his seat in the cab and step
ped into the tank where Niiand had fallen.
He says Niiand exclaim-, "My God, Joe,
Tm shot ! Go for a doctor."'
" You have killed this man," said Pauh
erty to Fubrer as be stooped over the body
of the victim and commenced a search for
the wound.
" I thi-k yon will find he is sh-1 through
the heart," replied Fuhrer, that's where 1
aimed for."
Fuhrerlhen jumped from the engine and
started up the track to where another west
bound train wai side tracked. Daugberty
with the crew tillowed in pursuit. They
did not go far, however, until tbey met
Fuhrer coming back to the scene of bis
crime. He said : " You need not fear. I'm
not goins to run away. I have done it. and
suppose I must sutler for it."
" Give me your revolver," said engineer
Kephart. of engine Na. 5JJ, pulling the
freight train. Yes. I ll give it to you," re
plied Fuhrer ia a tone that caused Kep
hart not to press the question.
The body of the dead fireman was subse
quently carried into the cabooss of Kep
han's train, and Fuhrer mounted the en
gine. Engineer Daugherty pulled out in advance
with the understanding that Le would stop
at Rjckwood and notify the officers to look
out for Fuhrer. When Kephart's engine
arrived at the Rock wood station, Corstauie
F.-ed Dupe -ut appeared upon the seen and
asked for the man who did the shooting.
Fuhrer was pcintel out to him and the
Constable at once placed him under arrest
and disarmed him.
' You needn't put those on me."' remark
ed the prisoner after tbe Constable had pro
duced a pair of band cuifs.
' It looks more like business this way,"
observed the Constable as he snapped the
handcurfson the prisoner's bands and led
him off to the borough lockup, where he
was kept until morning, before being brought
here to aiL
The train carrying Fuhrer into Kock
wood also carried the remains of bis victim.
The body was placed in the ware room at
the depot, where it lay until alterr.oon,
when Dr. I 'avid Gildccr, the local Justice of
the Peace, empanneied the following jury
and proceeded to hold an inquest: J. K.
Bocse, J. J. Sij. I-evi L. Miller, George
Holtihoue-r, John Short, J. C. Critchfiei J.
After reviewing the remains thejury retired
to Dr. Gildner's office, when the testimony
of engineer Daugherty, the only witness, of
the tragedy, was taken after he had been af
firmed. His testimony in substance was as
follows i " I had backed my engine. No. s s
on Yeier siding about ii" to a. m., Michael
F. Niiand was my fireman, and he said to
me " we have coal enough to take us to Con
nei'sviile." He went back fcito the tank
and commenced pulling don coal. I beard
him ask the flagman, Elmer Foredisb. to
help him. Foredish toid him, "No, 1
won't help pull coal down for a light engine."
Niiand retorted that if he didn't help he
couldn't ride on hia side of the engine.
Foredish replied either that be wouldn't ad
vise bim to put him out or that he couldn't.
Niiand called Foredisb names when Foredish
reached tor his gun. Niiand said. " it isn't
neoessiry to pull your gun ; put up your
gun." During all this time Niiand was
ba. k in the tank, but he then walked up to
Foredish with his coal pick upraised.
Don't know what then passed between them,
but Foredish shot; I didn't see him shoot,
but heard the sboL Niiand called, "Joe,
go for a doctor." I stooped over Niiand,
who had fallen, opened bis shirt and turned
to Foredish, saytng, " You've murdered this
man ; you've shot him through the heart."
" That's what I aimed for," said Foredish.
Saw revolver in bands of Foredish.
Dr. G. B. Masters testified that Le bad per
formed a port uiortriH examination upon Ni
iand s body and (ound that tbe buliet bad
penetrated the heart."
Only two witnesses were cVied and tbe
ouronor's jury promptly found that '" Mi' h
ael Nilan J came to his death from a buliet
fired Irani a revolver in the hands of Elmer
Foredish."
The deal fireman's body was corEned at
Bock wood and forwarded to his parents at
Conne-llsville on the evening train. Niiand
is the fireman who was thrown from one
engine into the tender of another ia a col
lision at Y Oder's some three or four week's
ago. and had only been discharge.! from a
Pittsburgh hospital Monday proceeding hia
death. He had been firing an engine on the
B. A . for several years and is said to Lave
been very profane.
ssot.xtEB DAte.HrrrT camctsEn.
Among tbe better elass of railroad men,
engineer Daugherty ia severely criticised for
not hating interfered and put a stop to the
quarrel betweec the fireman and flagman
before it led to bloodshed. Daugherty had
cuarge of the locomotive and in tiie absence
of a conductor, both riremaa and flagman
were subject to his orders while on duty.
He knew what was re-paired of both and it
was hi- duty to see that good order was
maintained 00 his engine. It is a custom
if not a rule of the company on all roads
Uiat the flagman shall occupy the front sat
on tbe fireman's side of tha cab and Daugh
erty should have known this if he does not.
It has long been customary on the B. Jt O.
for Cagmen to assist firemen in their work
when their engine ia pulling or pushing-a
train, but it is not the practice where an en
gine is running light. Daugherty must
have overheard the quarrel between the
men, and he knew that Fuhrer was a new
man and be should not have permitted the
fireman to impose upon him.
A word from the engineer would in all
probability Lave put aa end to their q'larrel
and prevented-the awful tragedy which cost
one roan his life aad may send another to
the gallows.
rrBixa's sroaT or the shootis.
Monday afternoon Sheriff Good permitted
s reporter for the Hirald to interview Bag
man Fuhrer in his cell in the county jail.
The prisoner is a rather handsome youn
fellow and very strongly built. He is about
5 feet 9 inches tall. A heavy crop of black
hair, combed pompadore, surmounts an in
telligent looking and handsome face.
His mustache ia neatly trimmed and his
calm, black eyes look straight into yours
while he is talking. He expresses himself
in very good English and talks in a low bnt
positive tone.
I have refused to say anything about
this aad aiTair up to this time," he said,
" and I do not know that I should make a
statement now. Tbe trie story will come
out when tbe case comes to trial. Bnt there
are one or two things that might as well be
set straight In the first place my correct
came is FJvin Fnhrer, not Foredish. al
though I am known by both. My father
Lad our came changed in the Allecheny
county courts because of annoying compli
cations that were constantly arising through
people mis-spelling Foredish. Father ia a
blacksmith and lives at Wiikensbarg, near
Pittsburg. 1 in 25 years f age. Have
railroadeJ in different parts of the country,
but last Tuesday night was my first trip
over the east end of the B. O. Tbe crew
were all strangers to me. Going cp the
mountain I told a joke on myself concerning
railroading, when Niiand stlempted to
make it appear that I didn't know much
about railroading. He took me for a green
horn and wanted to make sport of me. He
kept " running on me" all night. I shovel
ed coal down from the top of tbe pile into
the tank until we arrived at Sand Patch,
and paid no attention to bis remarks con
cerning me. On the return trip while our
engine was on the side track at Yoder, Ni
iand asked me to help pull coal down. I
told him that I would not help pull down
coal for a light engine. I knew what my
duties were and was not going to be impos
ed upon. Niiand got angry at my refusal
and swore if I did not help I could not ride
on the engine. Considerable jangling fol
lowed between us, when all at once he came
towards me be was in the tack and I was
sitting in tbe cab with the uplifted coal
pick and said, what would yon do you
b s of a b , I'll drive you clear through
tbe cab." I reached for my pistol, fearing
that be would strike me with the pick,
when the engineer seeing my movements
said, " there is no need of a gun." Niiand
continued calling me vile names from his
position in the tank, and when I turned
towards him and told bim to stop that I
would not permit any one to call me such
names he come at me a second time with
the uplifted pick, and again repeating the
vile epithets. I was confident that he meant
to strike me with the sharp end of the pick,
and that it was only a question of whether
he would kill me of I should kill bim. I
shot in self-defense, and I firmly believe if I
had not I would have gotten that coal pick
in ruy breast. What else could I do? What
would you have done? I don't think Niiand
uttered a word after he was shot. I assisted
the engineer to look for the wound. I said
I thought Niiand was shot through tbe
heart. I did not know Niiand and am sor
ry that I shot him. but I bad to defend my
self. I did not know any of the men there
that night, and for that reason I did not
surrender my revolver to them. I meant to
give myself up and I intended to do ao at
the first opportnnitT. I am yery sorry for
what happened, but what else could I do ."'
THE! ft FATHEfcS MEET.
Monday noon's train brought John P.
Fuhrer, father of the prisoner and Michael
Niiand, father of the dead fireman, to Som
erset. They pr-sjented a strange contrast
when they iet 'n the corridor of the jsiL
Mr. Fuhrer ia orersix foet tail and has a
powerful frame. G. A. R. buttons adorn
ebhis vest and bore evidence that he had
seen service in the army of his country. He
was a member of the GJd, Pa., Vol. His
soot-begrimed hands testified that he is an
lionet wo' km an. He was talking with hia
boy when tbe elder Niiand, accompanied by
his son James, also a B. Jt O. fireman, were
shown in. Nilan! senior is short of stature,
is about 70 years of age and speaks with a
pronounced Irish accent The fathers shook
bands cordially when introduced by the
Sheriff.
" I would like to see the prisoner,' said
the eider Niiand.
"This is the man" said the Sheriff", point
ing toyoung Fuhrer.
Mr. Niiand looked into the prisoners face
for a moment and then said, "you made a
good job of it, didn't you?"
There was complete silence for a minute
and then Mr. Niiand continued, " can't yon
speak? raa't you say you are sorry for what
you hare done ?"
" Can't you answer the man's question ?"
inquired the elder Fuhrer of Lis son.
" I do not understand his question," re
plied the prisoneT.
I said you made a good job of it, didn't
you?" repeated Niiand senior.
" Yon are an old man," replied the pris
oner, "and I don't want to insult yon," then
turning to the Sheriff be said, ""Sheriff I wish
you would take this man away, I don't
want to be taunted by bim."
" And yon are not sorry for what you
have done?" again asked the father of tbe
dead fireman.
" I shot your boy," said the prisoner, "and
I am very sorry for it. but I had to defi ed
myself," and then turning to the Sherl a
second time be said, " Sheriff, I wish you
would take him away, I don't want to be
taunted by him."
" Well," continued the venerable Niiand ,
as be turned to leave the corridor, " you
have done me all the harm you can ; yoa
have killed my son and you come from a
country where yon killed many other men,
but 1 will put no harm in your way." He
left tbe jail accompanied by his son. but sub
sequently returned to the SberiiTs o.'Mce
and Lad a long conversation with the pris
oner's father. The elder Fuhrer was greatly
moved by this interview, and when he ap
peared at the door of the jail his great body
shock convulsively, while scalding tears
trickled down hia bronzed cheeks.
Mr. Fuhrer retained ex-Jadge Baer to de
fend bis son. an! it is not improbable that
Thos. M. Marsha!, of Pittsbar. h may be
on tbe side of tne defense wben the case is
called to trial.
Gen. Koohlx has been retained to assist
tbe district attorney in prosecuting the case.

Wednesday morning motions were made
for a re-hearing in the applications for li
cense of Edtfar Kyie, Somerset; C. T. Hay,
Salisbury ; J. O. Zimmerman, Berlin ; Isaac
Jenkins, I'raina. License had been refused
to tbe above named the previous week.
Messrs. Kyie and Hay each presented addi
tional petitions and ia the case cf Kyle a
number of persona wbo had signed a re
n ions trance aaimtf the granting of a license
to him, wben it was re fused, made aa ab
rupt and remarkable cuange of front and
petitioned the court to reconsider the matter
and grant the license. Among these were
one or two parties who had made affidavit
to the remonstrance. Just what had brought
about this sudden change of heat on the
part of the anti-license people, was not made
clear to the court Whether their conversion
to the license cause was genuine and
sincere seemed to be greatly doubted and
by refusing to 'grant a rebearing the couit
put them on probation, as it were, for a
year. A reneanng was refused in all cases,
and if there was any doubt as to the presi
dent judge being possessed of that one es
sential requisite to a good judge, a "stiff
backbone," it was set at rest by the manner
in which nc refused to reopen the license
question. In refusing a rehearing in ex
Sheriff Kyle's spplication Judge Longeaeck
er said that he thought the temperance peo
ple of Somerset owed something to the
court; it was at least entitled to fair treat
ment ; that they could not come in one
week and pile up remonstrances an! evi
dence on which a lu-ense would be refused,
and then the week following have the court
reverse itself by reason of their change of
front And to this the people said amen.

A Preacher's Strategy.
Rev. John Herr, a Meyers town. Lancas
ter county Dunkard preacher, heard a noise
in the direction of his smokehouse at night,
and, proceeding to investigate, discovered
two men carrying away his flitch and hams.
One man was inside handing out the cured
meat, while the' other was outside with a
wheelbarrow. After the latter bad secured
a load and was wheeling it away. Rev. Herr
took his place, and was readily mistaken by
the thief inside the smokeho'ise for his pal.
The thief asked " Shall I lake it ail ?" and
the preacher replied, " Yoa might as well."
The owner then received his own gcods.
wbich were handed out to hl:u. When thief
No. 2 returned, the preacher re-vealed his
identity. The thieves, who prove-el to be
near neighbors, fell upon their knees aud
be-gged for mercy. Ri. Hrr allowed the-ni
to de'-art, after giving each a good supply of
provisions.

A Rain " of Worms.
During a fall of snew last Monday night
accompanied by s violent wind storm, great
quantities of worms fell, being probably
brought here from some distant point by
the wind. Some of the worms are the ordi
nary cut worm, hut there is a specimen un
known here, a long, many footed insect,
with a horned bead.
A strange feature it the fact that the
worms should, at this season of the year,
exhibit so much life as do these remarkable
visitors. The snow ia some places was full
of the worms, and ignorant people are not a
