1 MURDER!
Bob " Miller Withdraws His
Plea of Not Guilty, and Sub
stitutes a Plea cf Man
slaughter, WHICH THE PROSECUTION
AGREES TO ACCEPT.
SENTENCE WILL NOT BE IMPOSED
TILL JUNE I5TH.
"General Siege!'' and "Bob Will
Both Spend Some Year
in the Pen.
E..BtT C Mtu-xa.
Nc soon-r was the verdict of " guilty of
murder in the second d:rrte" rendered in
" General SiesleV case, Saturday moruiug,
than the counsel for his sou " Bob" propos
ed to the attorney's for the Commonwealth
that if agreeable to them, the plea of " not
gttiity," entered at the bepiningof the trial,
would be withdrawn and one of " guilty of
voluntary manslaughter" would be entered
in its stead. The proposition was agreed to
with alacrity and the change of pie waa
promptly made. The prisoner was reman
ded to jail to await sentence and the fa
mous moonshine murdei trials were at an
end.
A motion having been made for a new
trial in "General Siegel'a" case sentence was
poeponed in both cases until J.Le motion
shall have been decidi-d. Judge Longcneck
er has set Wednesday l.V.h inst., the time for
hearing the motion argaed and it ia more
than probable that on that day both the
'tienera!" and "Bob" will.be sentenced to the
penitentiary for a long term of years, as the
motion for a new trial was C'.ed merely for
the purpose of delaying the -ntenceand not
that a new trial is desired. The "Genera!''
and "I'.jh'' both g uoffia a buat and well
Ley knew it and well their counsel knew it
It was owing ef,tirt!y to (he adroit and skill
ful manner in which itt.r case was managed
that a verdict of guilty ofu.no r was not
found against both of them an J not Uecauae
they were not guilty or that the evidence
did cot warrant the Gndicg of such a verdict-
sEirjuso a jut to Tar "bf.i" mttia.
At 11 i:a. m.Sa'tirdiy, May L's, Ejbrt C.
Miller wasbrou rht into ojrt by SUari J Good
and the Court at once directed that he be ar
raigned. While District Attorney Colborn
read the indictment charging Lim with the
murder of Jonathan C. Kocbstet'er, tha
prisoner stood erec-t, with his head thrown
back, looking the District Attorney ("qnartly
in the face, and to the question i To this
bill ofindictment hew say yoa. guilty or not
guilty V he it-plied in a firm and distinct
tone of voice. " Not guilty."
The work of securing a jury was then
commenced.
The first juror caiied waa Jacob Judy, a
farmer of Brothersval-ey township. As he
took Lis position at the bar rai.ing Clerk
Sauuersaidi "Juror look upon the prison
er; prisoner look upon the juror; Low say
you, challenged or not challenged?" The
juror waa then sworn and examined on Lis
v. 'ue dire, the result of which was Lis being
stood aside by the Commonwealth.

and Judge Longenerker at once proceeded to
charge the jury. The Judge reviewed the
testimony c f the principal witnesses and
at great length explained the law govemirg

his father were retained by him and

remembered, told the story of the killing of
Hochs teller and voluntarily surrendered
himself to the c facers of the Law. The Dis

monwealth and while Le was detailing to
the jury what the prosecution expected to
prove the prisoner became actaewhat ner

the prisoner. The sun burned, heavy-set,
healthy, ruddy-faced mountain boy who waa
placed in the county jail during the first
days of March, ia now a pale, nervous and
delicate looking lad.
The District Attorney occupied about
twenty minutes. The first witness called on
the stand was Wesley Hochstetler, the aix-teen-year-old
son of the murdered man. He
was a bright, intelligent lad and answered

DcraaraxifT or Prsuc Isrrarcnos, 1

To Sdxvl Virteian :
What was the length of the annual school
term in your district laat year?
Were your schools open seven, eight, nine
or ten months, or ware they closed by the
action of your Board at the end of the mini
mum term of six months?
If your Board made provision for only a
minimum term of six months last year, or
at any time since yoa have been a director,
what was the motive that governed tha ma
jority of the members ia taking such action?
Was the education of the children duly
considered and emphasized as an imperative
duty on the part of the Board and the Dis
trict before deciding to close the schools at
the end of a short term ?
What excuse was oJered for closing the
schools of your district at the end of a short
terra of six or seven months with a lo tax
rate for school purposes ?
Do you favor a policy, on the plea of
economy, that virtually deprives the chil
dren of school privileges half the year and
places a barrier in their way to advancement
and wbicb prevents them from obtaining
such an education as the public schools
afford, or are yoa in favor of a progressive
policy in the administration of the omce of
school director, a policy that will result in
having good schools and longer tchooi term.
and well qualified teachers honestly com
pensated for their services ?
These are pertinent questions for your con
sideration in view of the fact that your voice
and vote will determine the policy to be pur
sued by your Board in the operation of the
schools of your district for the ensuing year.
The Stale Las generously increased the
appropriation for the tnppurt of the puhlk
tehuuli to five million dollars.
If all directors have a proper conception of
the responsible duties which they are called
upon to discharge and a due regard for the
welfare of the children, and the Common
wealth, every boy and gir! of legal school
Sire in Pennsylvsnia will have the privilege
of at tending a good public school a ewariaikiu

FLOOD AND FIRE.
Titusville and Oil City
in a Wave of Ruin.
TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
A Cloud Bant on Oil Creek Starts
the Disaster.
For 13 miles along the famous Oil Creek
ia Pennsylvania a tire creuJ flood swept
Sunday from Titusville to Oil City. It ii
known that at least s persons were drown
ed or burned to death. Estimates of the
loss of life are increasing, and the death roll
may swell to from 13") to 21 ", if not more.
A dam seven miles above Titusville gave
way in tbe night. Oil tanks were swept
away, the stream leaped its banks'and, bear
ing on its back a wide-spread layer of oil,
dashed into Titusville a roaring, tumbling
mass of names. There was a stampede.
Scores of persons were swept away in an ef
fort to Cod safety. One-third of the tows
was burned and at It) o'clock Sunday night
4 bodies Lad been recovered. Along the
creek are a dozen villages, whose inhabi
tants number from 100 to 5o). Xuthiug is
known of the fate of these, save '.he fact
that the strip of flood and fire extended a
distance of 40 acres oo each side of the
stream.
In Oil City several thousands of person',
nearly ten hours later, were oat to see the
on-coming rush of the flood. It was oil-laden
and streaming with escaping gas. There
was an explosion, a terrible stampede to the
hills and at least 40 persons are known to
be dead there. In three minutes an entire
ward was In names and the town in an aw
ful panic
The loss in property may reach from fi-
00O.IMJ tO r-l,(A),'AJ.
Oil Cirr, Pa., June C Eighteen miles of
death and desolation is the story in brief of
the awful catastrophe which L.ts decimated
the borders of Oil creek from Titusville to
this point. Oa both sides of the creek ;locd
and fire have left ruin ond woe, and it will
Uke days before the record of death and de
struction can be completed.
This is the most awful disaster which has
ever come to this vicinity, and Las no rival
in the United States except the Johnstown
Hood. A raging torrent, a tank of oil under
mined and toppled into the flood, a coal frutu
a locomotive pasaingover the bridge in the
city, a series cf explosions along the surllice
of the creek, aad houses, men, women and
children were instantly wrapped in tlamts.
These are the causes aad tllects so far us this
place ia concerned. i
The inmate cf the houses bad but to
choose bow to die either d.owa or te
burned to dath. There waa no e--c;ie, ai d
many chose the easier tiea.h and j imped
into the water, but even there the lire found
them, and everybody so far recovered shows
that hre did the work of destruction.. At
6 o'lock this morning the tire Lad burned
itself out and the burning oi!Ladpa&seJ
away. The creek and river, however, ae
rising, and much of this place, will slid
be flooded, but there is little left along Oil
Creek which the dxid ca l damix-e. The
fire has left nothing on which the water ran '
prey. Tbe risii g waters, however, interfer- i
ed with recovering Ihe bodies of the victims
r.-l - !
The fierv Coed destroyed one mile of
pro:rty along the creek on the west side.
Across the creek from th r main portion of
the city, not a house is standing between
the crek and the hill, aad not a vesiigc of
life can be aeen except the many searchers
for the dead. Along the east si Je, from the
month of ()d CTdtk for a distance of three
quarters of a miir, every buildirg except
one along the creek baa beea destroyed.
This strange monument to the death-la-lca
flood is a frame dwelling Louse standing
among the ruina. It waa ia the midst of
tbe tlood and tire, and yet it was parsed by.
The curtains are on the windows, and the
noon meal still stands on the table, but the
former occupants are among the dead.
They atteempted to escape and were caught
in tbe sea of fiamea. Oa the east aide the
great damage is along the street.
The tlevaslaiion which swept through
this valley yesterd y Lad its origin in a
cloud-burst and extraordinary precipitation
of water on the height of land which runs
diagonally across Crawford county from
Spartansburg. at the northeast end of the
line, to Meadviiie at the southeast. Ncrth
wardiv the streams flow in the direction of
Lake line; southwardly they seek the
Allegheny river through the OH Creek
valley.
Ia the meantime heavy rains continued to
fall and the water spread over the streets in
the lower part of the town carrying bouses
and their occupants. On to OJ City the
flood sped, still gathering momentum and
carrying large ijuantilies of burning oil on
its bosom. The river of fire rolled into Oil
City, where it found ftvh food ia the oil
and naptha tanks which line its banks, and
hich did appallingly destructive work in
spreading the flames throughout the thick
ly built up por.ioos of the city.
The search for the deal wai stoppe 1 at
midnight, but was resunxd at daybreak.
At 7 o'clock Saturday forty seven bodies had
been found, of which thirty have been iden
tified. They are lying in the Ccty Hall and
a temporary morg-ie on the South Side.
The scene ia almost too much for endurar.ee
Burned out of all semblance to human bod
ies, in positions showing the terrible agony
before death came, are a few of tbe victims.
From various estimates it ia safe to say
the loss of life in this city alone will reach
two hundred. Many have beea swept away
and will never be found. When the tJoc!
subsides it will reveal scores of bed es. At
one point alone tex are knowa to Lave g r.e
into the burning rlood, bat not cne of them
have been found. Tbsr, with Iwa ctherj.
were standing on the raiin ad bridge when
the hot coal from the passir-g hjcomot i ve ig
nited the oil and caused the eipi jwiou. on

iuto the fljod. There ia little left but the
charred bodi sand tmor.lder'tg t. rubers to
