charming ballads. Miss McKinley bas an
unusually strong and sweet voice for a miss

Cunningham played a piano duet of bigb
merit, and Miss McKinley, Messrs Henry

ber of selections on tbe banjo and guitar.

several humorous selections, and Mrs. A loner
McKinley played a piano solo, the last num
ber on the pro-am. Few musicians are to
be found who play with tbe same rare touch
and lecbuic as Mrs. McKinley and to

It seems that the Pennsylvania people are
a great deal better otT than mauy of tbeir
neighbors in what have been considered tbe
most prosperous slates of tbe country. A
statement just issued by the census bureau
gives a comparison of the mortgage indebt
edness of Pennsylvania witb that of the oth
er states. Il shows that the amount of in
riebtcduess secured by mortgages in Penn
sylvania is much less percapita tban that in
such prosperous manufacturing and produc
ing states as Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ne
braska an j others. When it comes to the
ra'io between the debt and true value of all
real estate, the ahowim; in favor of Pennsyl
vania is still moresirongly marked.
The percapita mortgage debt of Pennsyl
vania is put down to $117 for each individu
al, while in thrifty Massachusetts, whicb is
suppled to be the home of the greatest in
dustries of !be country, tbe per capita is
(Ul. and in Minnesota, that great grain field
of tbe world, the per capita is $152, while
Kansas, an equally great grain-producing
sta'e, shows a per capita of $170.
If this showing does not suit Peensylvani
ans tiiey can with profit and satisfaction
turn to the table showing tbe ratio between
the debt and the estimated true value of all
taxed real estate in the state. Here it is
sbown that tbe ratio of indebtedness in
Pennsylvania is ouly 15 91 per cent., while
in Vermont it is 19.21 per cent. ; in Massa
chusetts 19 4.2 ; in Connecticut 2t 14 ; in
Nebraska 'Jl.ii, and in Kansas -1S.13 per
cent. Thus tbe coudition in Pennsylvania
is still shown to be oce of whicb every citi
zen of tbe state ought to be proud.

Somerset county posse, wbo bad been search
ing the mountain for days in pursuit of tbe
fugitive, bad abandoned ad ellorts to capt
ure him aud bad returned to tbeir homes.
Beam and Craver secured the assistance of
two Westmoreland county men who knew
Hamilton, and believing that their ruse
would work ana that " Coll" would return
from his biding place in the mountain to
the home of bis aunts Saturday night, the
lour laid in wait for bim al a point along
the Jennertowp and L:gouier pike, a mile
above the village.
Shortly after nine o'clock "Coll" came
walking down the deserted highway. When
he passed in front of ihe clump of bushes
toetaind which Beam, Craver 'and their two
frieuds were concealed, one of the men ac
quainted with Hamilton recognized him
and hurriedly whimpered to Beam.
- Halt!" commanded Beam, stepping into
the road and presenting a revolver in the
face of the fugitive.
" I guess not," replied Hamilton, and
away tie bounded down tne piae at lull
sped.
'Halt! or I'll shoot you." again com
manded Beam, at the same time firing a shot
from his revolver after the fleeing fi.ure.
Hamilton paid no attention to the com
mands to bait and nine shots were fired af
ter bim by tbe members of tbe posse.
Finally Beam concluded that he was abet
ter runner tban marksman and bidding bis
comrades to cease firing, be started after
Hamilton as fast as bis legs would carry
him. He gained 0:1 the fugitive at every
bound when Hamilton realizing that he
ould be overtaken fell forward on the road.
Bram was on top of bim in a moment and
then a Cerce struggle for supremacy com-
menc-d between the two men. Hamilton is
a perfect athlete in form but be was no
match for the strong muscles of the hardy
young farmer, and before Beam's compan
ions came up be bad agreed to surrender.
The prisoner was band-cutfed to one of
the men aud escorted into Laughlinstown,
where an eflort was made to secure a team
to haul the party over tbe mountain 10 Jen
neriown. Being unable to secure a convey
ance Hamilton was compelled to walk to
Jennertown, still band cuffed to one of bis
captors.
When tbe prisoner was led into tbe pres
ence of Mrs. Beam be looked her straight in
the eyes and asked ber if she bad ever seen
bim before. Mrs. Beam replied that his
f ice looked familiar and that she believed
be was the man who bad ransacked tbe
drawers in her bureau on the night she and
her husband bad been so brutally beaten by
three masked men.
Hamilton was then taken before Justice
of the peace Keller, and waiving the right of
a bearing, was committed to jail to await
the action of tbe grand jury.
HAX1LTOS ISIERVIEWED.
'Coll'' Hamilton beamed a smile of
recognition when the H eeald reporter visit
ed him in the county jail Monday morning.
" No, I am not as heavy as I was when I
was here before charged with the I'mberger
murder," be said, "but I am feeling pretty
good."
" What am I in for this time? Well, my
bad name is responsible for it. Every crime
nearly that is committed over in that section
of the country is laid to me. I' m innocent
of the Beam robbery, but I guess I'll be sent
to the " pen" for it, but all on account of
having a bad name."
' How did I come to bf captured ? I knew
that there were warrants out for me on both
sides of tbe mountain. I assaulted a fellow
over near Ligonier a short time ago and be
bad a wanant issued for me, and then I
knew that I would be blamed for this affair
at Baam's. I bad arranged witb Mrs.
Koontz, where a gang of us had been stop
ping, to keep me posted as to the move
ments of the Somerset connty ollicers. Fri
day I beard that they bid gone home, and
knowing that the offense witb which I was
charged was not a very serious one, I con
cluded that they would not return to look
for me Sunday and that I could go home
Saturday nigbt and clean myself up and get
some fresh clothes before setting out for
Chestnut Ridge. I knew that the other fel
lows had been arrested and I made np my
mind to leave Laurel Hill for a while.
When Beam called to me to halt I thought
that I could run away from bim. I wasn't
afraid of bis bullets, but I bad been smok
ing a strong pipe and was light-beaded, and
soon found that I couldn't run very fast.
I kept on just tbe same, but pt last I tripped
on a stone and felt If it hadn't been for
tbe pipe I'd have given tbe boys the hard
est chase they ever bad.
' Wben tbey took me in to see old Mrs.
Beam she said that my face was familiar.
and wben she learned my name she said " I
know you now ; you have eaten many a
meal in our cellar." She evidently meant
that I bad been stealing stuff from ber cel
lar. I told her that I bad never been in ber
bouse before.
" I am satisfied that we boys will have 00
trouble in establishing our innocence, but
my bad name will operate against me."
Tbe last time I was sent np was for car
rying a gun. I got six months in tbe work
house for that and only gained my liberty
this spring."
Readers of tbe Hesald will remember
"Call"' Hamilton as the "suspect," wbo
was arrested on suspicion shortly after
tbe murder of tbe late Herman I'mberger.
He was kept in tbe county jail charged with
tbe commission of that crime until after it
was established that tbe Nicely brothers
were the guilty parties.
Hamilton is about thirty Cve years of age.
although he would easily past for a man ten
years younger. He is perfectly developed
and his movements are quick sad agile. He
bas been a criminal since boyhood and bas
served numerous terms in the penitentiary
and in the work bouse. The first time be
was imprisoned was after be bad been con
victed of robbing the store of Silas Cover, at
Jenner X Roads.
OTHEB MEMBIBS or THE B tSD CnSEALLED.
Matthtw Koontz, aged IS years, suspected
of being a member of Hamilton's band of
outlaws, was arrested by the same parties
wbo captured Hamilton. He was taken
near bis home iu tbe mountain above
Laughlinstown, Friday afternoon, and
brought here and placed in jail Saturday.
Suspicion was directed to Hamilton and
hia band immediately following the Beam
outrage and tbe people of Jenner township
determined to bring them to justice. Accor
dingly Informations were ratd ajainst Col
lins Hamilton, Joseph Hoffman, William
Koontx, Matthew Koontz and two others,
charging them with the crime? Tuesday
Constable Horner, of Jenner township, ac
companied by a posse of twelve or fifteen
men, crossed the mountain for the purpose
of capturing the members of the band, or as
many ol them as they could iiud. Wednes
day afternoon tbey fjund William Koontz
at work in an oats field near bis home. He
was taken into custody and the posse then
proceeded to the borne of Joseph Hoifmaa.
Hoffman was absent and bis wife said that
be was in the woods gathering berries.
About nine o'clock that night he returned
and was promptly arrested. Tbe
two prisoners were taken btiore Mrs.
Beam the next morning for identification.
She failed to identify Koontz, but said tbat
Hoffman was the mau who bad used the
club so brutually on the bodies of her bus
band aud herself the day of the robbery.
Tne prisoners were then taken before Esquire
Keller and committed to jail to await the
action of the grand jury.
lrENTIFIII EV MS. UEXSON.
Shortly after Koontz aud Hoffman bad
been lodged in jail, old man Benson, wbo
bad been clubbed and knocked down re
peatedly by tbe robbers at the Bcaia home
stead on the nightot the robbery, was admit
ted to the corridor of the jail. Walking up
to the cell in which Uotfiuau was confined,
he said, " You re the man who held the re
volver in my face."' Hoffman muttered
something about there being a mistake,
when Benson commanded him to stand up.
As soon as Hoffman arose to bis feet Ben
son said, " There is no mistake about it ;
you are the fellow who pointed the revolver
at me." He failed to recognize Koontz.
Hoffman bears a hard reputation among
his neighbors, and it is said that be served
at least one term in tbe penitent, ary.
It is claimed that enough evidence has al
ready been secured agaiust three of the pris
oners to cure their conviction ior the Beam
robbery and assault. Several parties, it is
said, will testify to having seeu them in the
vicinity of the Beam homestead on the ev
ening of the robbery.

JUDGMENT FOR $71,000.
Sheriff Good Levies Upon the Prop
erty of the Cambria Lumber Co.
In the Pr.ilhonotary's oilice one day last
week attorneys Coif roth and Ruppel eniereu
a jugment for $71,ols w against the fim
bria Lumber Company, doing business in
Faint township, this county. . Saturday a
writ was issued on the judgment and Mon
day Sherili Good visited tbe company's works
and levied upon the following proptrtyt
p. m ,. mm) feet of sawed lumber, -'n.'v
feet of logs, 1.5o ions of bark, and a lot ol
other material and tools of the defendant
Company. The principal creditors are
banking establishments in Clearfield, Greens
burg and Latrobe, the Cambria irom Com
pany, Mrs. R. E. Kiernan, and Jamts "al.
lery and Co., of Pittsburgh, the Messrs. Sax
man and Baker, of Latrobe, and others hold
ing smaller interests. Tbe cause of the
Company's embarrassment is not known
here, but it is said to have been brought
about by some of the parlies interested in
the Company who became dissatistird.
tsome time ago the Johnstown Lumber Com
pany was merged into the Cambria Lumber
Company and at that time a deed was record
ed from tbe former to tbe latter Company for
tracts of land aggregating between I ill and
S.ihs) acres in the northern part of this coun
ty. The capital stock of the Company is
-aid to be S-Mi.Vu.
About three years ago the treasurer of the
Johnstown Lumber Company suddenly
disappeared and it was after ar. Is rtporttd
that be was a defaulter to the amount of
iotj.Cnn). To save the company from ruin,
toy reason of this defalcation, a reorganiza
tion was effected and the new company,
called the Cambria Lumber Company, was
formed. The new company continued to
operate the m'lls and was supposed to be
quite prosperous. Some time ago ihey con
structed a branch narrow guage railroad
from a point near Foust w ell, on the S. C. R.
IL, to tbeir mills nine miles up Shade creek,
and the impression bas since prevailed tbat
the company was then in better shaie than
ever before and that tbey would realize a
large sum of money out of the dense forests
their road penetrated.
Inquiry has failed to show that any Som
erset county parties are affected by the fail
ure, further than tbat workmen employed
at the mills bold labor claims sggrtgaling
several thousand dollars.

ABSGUUTELY PURE
A Standing Menace..
The Democra ie party in power is a stand
ing menace to the business of the country.
Never in its history was all its business and
industries in a more prosperous condition
than they were a year ago. with bright
prospects for the future, The only ap
prehension that shadowed it was a fear that
tbe silver legislation of Congress might end
in reducing our money circulation to a
silver basis, while nearly ail the natious
with which we have commercial dealings
are on a gold basis. Thar apprehension was
greatly increased when in the election last
fall the Iesnocratic party instead of adhering
to its own organization ami its platform f
principles at. adopted in ils national con
vention, disbanded in a number of states
and merged itself with any factoa of Voters,
no matter what vagaries of socialistic or
even anarchical ideas they might profess in
order to defeat the Republican party in the
election of President. al electors.
In this way a majority in Congress was
secured, opposed to tbe ideas and legislative
policy of the Republican party. Two-thirds,
at least, of that majority believe lhat value
iu money can be made by legislation. And,
therefore, all that is necessary tc insure pros
perous times is to create by law an abund
ance of w hat is called money.
I -aw can fix for trade the unit of value in
money, but it never bas and never can tl x
tbe value of the unit. That is done by those
who deal in the products of labor and is
regulated toy the supply and demand of such
products. Law fixes Ihe debt paying value
of mouey within its jurisdiction, but cannot
fix its value for business and trade. Iu
business and irsde the only real use of
money is for the payment of balances. In
times of confidence that is co.'tidence that
obligations Will be prompt!ymet as agr-ed
upon what is called money plays a very
insignificant part. In such limes of all the
transactions 01 Ousine amounting to bl.lioaa
of dollars, only about S per cegt,of the gross
amount is done with actual money. All the
rest is done with checks, draf's, hiiis of ex
change, etc.
In times of panic, as they are called, no
matter what tbe amount of money iu cir
culation may be, there will be a starcity iu
the money market. In such times trade
slackens, and as the demand for the products
of labor decreases its eilect goes back through,
all the exchanges of such products until it
reaches the laborer hl.u-e'.f in the reduction
of the time of his employ merit or his wagi s,
aud erbaps of both, creating with eveiy
Cody a distrust in the ability to meet obliga
tions as made. Then h-gius the hoarding
of w hat is esteemed tbe safest portion of the
'in uiatlr.g tutdiucn, called money.
The business condition of tne country to
day is nor, therefore, caused soic'y by the
money legislation oi Congress. That legis
lation and tbe appn.heii.-ion of what nilglit
be done, simply Sirgravat-s the still greater
spprehei.-'ori of what the ne!y elected
.mg-ess may do on ti.e lariil". The grave
question wbi'-.li conlronis the bu-iriess in
terests of tbe country is whether the home
market shall be supplied, so far a. climate,
soil snd natural fat. lilies will admit of it
being d :ne to advantage by home labor or
whether it shall be s.iip!id by the poorest
paid labor of foreign countries. Any legis
'ation by Congress winch would lead to a
greater imortation of the products of foreign
labor would lo just lhat extent dimini.-h tbe
employment cf home labor. So long as ibis
uncertainty hangs over the country
there wili be stagnation ia business, reduc
tion in production, and coistquently idtene-s
for labor.
Whoever sows the wind must reap tbe
whirlwind. A majority cf the voters last
fall, not satisfied with let ing "well enough''
alone, sowed the wind, and the business of
the country is now waiting to see what the
harvest will be.

The Conrad Boys-
When While Caps attacked the home of
the Conrad ooys out in Indiana the other
night and draped their mother ai.il sister
out and put roes arjund their necks, the
C-urad boys very properly lireil uion them
and killed live, besides wounding several
others. Now the friends of these White Caps
swear they will either kill them or drive
them out of the State. To thii the Conrad
boys make answer : "We were born here,
and we won't leave. TuU ii our home, mid
by we're going to live here.1'
This is strong languid. It may pain and
shock some pe p!e. ilnf, somehow, it bas
a sort of tendency to moke the cwieral pub
lic respect the Conra I boys. K ports to to
show that they are tough cltiz-ns. Possi
bly Ihey are, but certain' they are not
mucb, if any. toucher than their assailant.
However flagrantly liny may have violate!
the law before, tbey were decideily wilbiu
its pale when they defended tbeir home,
their mother, sister and themselves spainst
those who, in Ibe name of law and order,
were violating both. And they Lave spunk,
and lots of it. Tbey d on't propose to leave
their home at tbe men bidding of moon
light raiders. If tbe law is to be taken into
the people's hands, they are going to have a
band io it, too. In some ways the Conrad
boys deserve encouragement. Tbey rosy be
bad medicine, but they have true American
grit, and have aisj tbeir uses. It is likely
lhat they have done more to discturage
White Cap expeditions in Indiana, and
perhaps wherever they are common, than
all tbe Grand Jury presentments that were
ever tnade. Give the Conrad boys a chance !

Jacob Staup d.ej at his boms at Ohiopyle
last Thursday. He had been very ill for the
past four months. About a week prior to
bis death he began to dacliae very rapidiy.
His appetite failed, and it was noticed he 110
longer enjoyed bis pipe. It was expected
that be would make a confession concerning
his guilt in the Glover murder, but he main
tained to the last that be was innoretit.
Jacob Statip's death retails one of the
most famous criminal cases on the archive
of Fayette county ir. which for 1 years
Staup was the leading charat ter. In 17
A'plieus 1. lover an 1 Sta'ip met in the rw. l
and began toqnarrei over the damage St sup's
hogs bad done to Glover's crops. C lover
was accompanied by his little daughter Al
verdi, and two of Statip's sons were with
him. The men engaged in a light iu whicb
Glover was shot. Staup was arrested and
at the December court was convicted of mur
der in the tl rst di-gree. He was granted a
new triai and at the March session he was
again convicted of murder iu tbe first de
gree. Both convictions were brought about
by the testimony of :ittl Alverdi Glover,
w ho swore that she saw Staup shoot Ler la
ther. Judge G llmore overruled the motion
for a new trial, and ou March Ulst e utenctd
Staup to be hanged.
A writ of error was taken to the Suprtme
Court, and on January , ls?t. the lower
court was reversed and a new trial ordered,
but before the next session of court Staup
was at liberty among his family and friends,
having broken jail. F'or H long years he
wandered abont among tbe mountains cf
Maryland and We.H V lrginia, occasionally
returning home to visit his lamily. In l-ol
Staup was agaia arrested and brought lo
trial at the June session. Alverdi Giovrr,
now grown to womanhood, again went on
t he stand and told the story of the murder
riling the crime on Jacob Staup. The de
fense held that Henry Staup killed Giovtr
and produced. Henry's dying statement to
