John and James Roddy and Richard
Jackson, who have lx-en confined in the
county jail since early in June awaiting
trial on a charge of robliery, w ill be call
ed upon at Pcoeriilier term of court to an
swer to an indictment for murder, the
aged victim, David Rerkey, of Paint
township, having died Saturday after
noon from the ejects of the barlarous
treatment he received at the bauds of
robbers, alleged to be the lbsldy boys
and "Dick" Jackson, at his home on the
night of June ti l.
Distri.-t-Attorney Colliorn claims that
tlie case lie will lie able to make out
against the three men charged with the
crime is strong enough to secure their
c uiviction, in which event it is altogeth
er likely the Somerset county Jail w ill be
the scene of another double, and sssibly
triple, execution, (the Nicely brothers,
Joseph aud David, having lecn legally
strangled to death lehiud the walls of
that institution iu April, 11.)
The indictments against the defendants
named above were contiuued by Judge
Longeuecker at last w eek's term of crim
inal court, on motion of the District
Attorney. The ground on which a con
tinuance was asked for was the inability
of the vi.-tim, Daid Perkey, to le pies
enl. District Attorney Collioru informed
the Court that the prosecutor was in a
very critical condition, but it is not like
ly that he was aware that death was so
near at hand to the venerable ictim f
the robU-rs' fiendish assault. Saturday
afternoon Mr. Colliorn was notified by
telephone that Mr. Rerkey was dead.
The District Attorney will now draw
a bill of indictment against the three
.risoneis charging them w ith homicide.
in addition to tue other charges on which
they are held in custody, and on which
true bills have leeu returned by the
grand jury.
When Deputy-Sheriff Raker informed
the prisoners Saturday evening that Mr.
Rerkey was dead James Roddy's face
ilushcd crimson, but he refused to ex
press himself further than to say: "We
cau't help it." John Roddy aud Richard
Jackson appeared quite indifferent when
told of the death of the man they are ac
cused of having robbed and tortured un
til his death resulted.
David Rerkey was t7 years old at the
time of his death. He was one of the
most highly respected citizens in
Paint township f.nd was reputed to be
worth a large sum of money, most of
which it was said he kept concealed
alxuit his house.
While he and the other metnliers of his
family were in their leds on Wednes
day morning, June '1 1, the old gentleman
was aroused altout 1 o'clock by soi:i one
iu his chamber. The next moment a
masked robin-r thrust a revolver into his
face and demanded that he tell where his
money was conceal eL Mr. Rerkey
pointed to bis vest, hanging on a post of
the lH-d, in one of the fs-keis of w hich
the roblier found a!oul 100 in paper mon-
ev. Ry tiiis time a secoud masked bur
glar appeared, w hen the old man was
lifted from his lied and strapped fast in a
rocking chair. His aged wife was secur
ed to a IhhI post with ropes, her bauds be-
irg tied a!ove her head and her feel to
the foot of the st. Then the roblers
turned over the bed clothes and found a
small amount of silver concealed in the
bed tick. Not satisfied with the amount,
ot money they had secured, the burglars
tried to extort from him the hiding place
of his supposed large amount of money
by burning the soles of his feet with the
flame of a candle, Mr. Rerkey contin
ued to insist that they ha i e-ured all of
the money he had hidden in the house,
but his protestations seemed to only in
cite th fiends to further devilment.
They lighted pioces of paper and hold
them lietween the old man's toes until
his feet were literally roasted to the bone.
A large hole was burned in the b-ill of
his left foot, and the back part of the heel
up to the ankle joint was roasted until
the flesh craekeL When the victim eri-d
out with pain one of the fiends struck
him on the mouth knocking out several
of bis teeth, and choked him until his
fa.-e turned black. As a last effort to
compel their aged victim to reveal the
supposed hiding place of his money, one
of the foul fiends, with devilish delight,
threw several cups of cold water in the
lace of the now completely exhausted
man. Mrs. Rerkey was an unwilling
witness to the barbarities inflicted upon
her husband, but when the mask fell
from the fa.-e of one of the robbers the
features of his countenance were so in
delibly stamped upon her mind hat she
will carry the impression then made with
her to l lie grave. When she was con
fronted by James Roddy, who had leen
arrested and charged with participation
in the robbery, at her h line, she instantly
identified him as one of the robliers, and
later, when the prisoners were given
baliens corpus hearing before Ju ij
Biesecker and Horner, the venerable la
dy w as altogether positive iu hLr id.jaii
fication of iiirn.
Whiie the fiends were engaged in tor
turing their victim. Miss Lucy Rrkey, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Rerkey,
hearing theonfusion down stairs and re
alizing that burglars ware iu tha h-:ise,
attempted to escape by way of a second
story window in order to arouse the.
neighbors. By a misstep she fell tQ the
ground, a distant of 20 foct, sustaining a
broken ankle. With the bone of her leg
protruding through the tlesh and imbed
ded in the ground, she still possessed suf-
I ficieut strength to drag herself int the
garden, whcie she laid on the damp
ground for three hours, when she was
found apd carried to the house by her
cged mother. MUs Ierkcy lie on Jho
loth day of Juue as a result of i)er Injuf
ies.
The rob'.iers were frightened from, the
h -use 1-y the screams of Miss Rerkey
when she fell, evidently thinking that
help was coming. As the ground after
ward indicate.!, horses were in waiting
for them a short disuuca lr.nu the to-use
The same night two horses were stolen
from the barn of Win. J. Homer, a ten
ant .-n tha Rdrkey farm. Mr. Horner
tracked th.;ir. fruiu his barn to Rerkey!
the following morning and later in the
dav re.ioveied them near Scalp Ievel,
w here they had lx-en abandoned
Alter the robbe-rs had rled fpm the
bouse Mr. Berkey managed to release
himself from the rocking chair in which
he had U-eii tied and crawling across the
aii s.r to w here his w ife was secured, cut
the cord thai bound her the led post.
M rs Rerkey then rang the dinner lell in
order to aro;is3 the "neighbors.
A physician was summoned to dress
j.he weiuids or Mr. Berkey aud his
daughter, and, pt withstanding every
remedy know n to njcdi.sil sj.ieuqe was
resorted to in an effort toave their lives.
Miss Rerkey expired as stated above and
her venerable father followed her to the
grave on Saturday.
From the night of the roblery until
the hour of his death Mr. Rerkey suffer
ed unspeakable agimy from his burned
feet, qever bfcing abo ta rot them upon
the floor. Death H'iW wpluonje rejiof to
him.
Suspicion was directed towards Jamta
j and John Roddy and Richard Jackson
the morning following the crime. It is
I alleged that all of the three prisoners
! named were seen in the neighborhood
i immediately preceding the robbery. At
the habeas corpus bearing on August
12ih, it was developed by the testimony
: of a number of witnesses that James and
John Koddy and Richard Jackson were
' seen traveling in the direction of Ui4
IU-rkey Tarm house on the night lrre
the commission of the crime.
The Roddy brothers and Richard Jack
son, their brother-in-law, were arrested
bv Detective John T. Harris, of Johns
town, at their home in Morrellville, a j
suburb of Johnstown. All of the pria- j
oners protested their Innocence when ar- J
rested and were given a hearing tmfore i
Ksquire Sdott Murphy, of Taint town-
ship, who committed them to jail.
Since their confinement in the county
jail the prisoners have been well behav
ed and entirely indifferent to the con
Hoiocneea that w ill 13 visited UHn them
iu case of their conviction.
The Roddy boys and Jackson are saiil
to have been resident of Jcnner town
ship, this county, up until aliout a year
prior to the commission of the crime of
which they now stand accused, when
they went to Johnstown.
M r. Berkey made an ante mortem state
ment, the contents of whioh the District
Attorney refuses to make public, but
which is believed to contain very damag
ing evidence against the accused. It is
also said that the prosecution is in pos
session of much stronger evidence
against the prisoners than was developed
either at the hearing before Justice Mur
phy, or at the habeas corpus hearing.
The theory of the commonwealth is that
only two of the burglars entered the
Rerkey farm house on the night of the
robbery, one of them standing guard on
the outside and watching the horses on
which they made their es-c

500 people attended the funeral. Kelig
gious servii-es were conducted by Rev,

In last week's Hkkalu au item appear
ed iu regard to a surgical operation that
had been performed upon the body of
Marshall Andrews, of Ursiua, when by
the aid of an X ray the surgeons of Mer
cy Hospital had located aud removed an
ounce of rebel lead that had been imbed
ded in that veterans' left hip iu one of the
first battles of the war. The operation
was successfully performed and the pa
tient gave every evidence ot rapid recov

to chronicle tho death of Mr. Andrews,
he having expired in the hospital Sunday
afternoon. The body was shipped to
L'rsina and will be interred from the late
residence of the deceased at 1 o'clock this
afternoon. Mr. Andrews leaves a wife
and three or four children, one of whom
is married to a prominent Scottdale
merchant.
The announcement of Mr. Andrews
death was a severe shock to his host of
friends in L'rsina and elsewhere, all of
whom held him in the highest esteem.

James O'Connor, Esq., of Jeuner town
ship, died at 8 o'clock Monday morning
from the effect of injuries sustained the
preceding night wheu he tripped and fell
down a flight of stairs iu his residence at
Forwardstown. Nearly all the members
of his family were at his bedside wheu
he died.
Mr. O'Conuor was born in Jenner town
ship on Nov. 120, and resided iu that
district until !., when he went to Colo
rado. The western climate not agreeing
with him he returned to Somerset coun
ty and u thereafter was married to
Miss Elizabeth Croyle, of Couetnaugh
township, the newly married couple 1-
cating iu Somerset. Here Mr. O'Connor
read law in the office of Hon. Ewi Scull
and was admitted to the practice. Soon
after bis admission to the bar he became
interested in real estate in Jcnner town
ship and removed to Forwardstown,
where he had lived ever since.
The deceased formed a law partnership
w ith the late Samuel Gaitber and later
w ith Gen. A. II. Coffroth, and finally dis
continued the practice altogether, de
voting his time aud attention to dealing
iu real eatate and live stock. He is sur
vived by tho following named children,
viz: John, a merchant at Conner, Pa.;
James R. and Francis J., practicing at
torneys at Johnstown; Peter J., prine-i-pal
of a Pittsburg school and Phillip .,
of Hartford, Conn.
James O. Connor was a good citizen and
possessed marked ability. He enjoyed the
respect and esteem of all his neighliors
and his unfortunate death will le sincere
ly UHMimed by his large circle of friends
throughout the couuty.

Editor IIfuai.:
Having bad occasion recently to exam
ine one of the ancient deed records of this
county, the writer's attention "wtjs at
1 1 acted w a plat t herein recorded; and on
timber examination it was found to be
the "plau of the town of Jacksonville, sit
uated ou the turnpike road aliout two
and one-half miles eastward of the town
of Somerset, Pennsylvania, and founded
at the instance of Jacob "agner, July,
ISit, Itouglas Raker, surveyor.''
Seventy-five lots with a number of out-
lots are marked on the plaa.
The turnpike ' seems to have been
Main street 'w ith a full sized Ijiamond,
and other streets were North street.
South street. Market and Locust streets,,
and it looked, to be quite a town on p;
per. Put it must nave teen one oi ine
towns that die "a bornin'," for no town
is now in existence in that vicinity.
Inquiry from one of our oldest citizens
brought out the information that many
years ago there was a tavern stand on the.
pike where Commissioner s.hobers farm
pow is, and that the locality w as some
times called Jacksonville, and, that there
ere a couple of other houses tlpjre which.
have long singe disappeared- The at
tempt to soil the lots proved a failure and
they have long ainoe been thrown back
into the larin.

The Congressional Conference
ENDS AS IT BEGAST, IN A FARCE-
Eieki and Eooier Both Claim to be the Hom
ines of the Party. Kicke and Thropp
File Nomination Fapert.
The question as to whether the Repub
licans of this, the Twentieth Congress
ional District, shall have the name of a
regularly nominated candidate on their
ticket to lie voted at the Novernlier elec
tion will be decided by Judge Mcpher
son, of the Dauphin County Court. Thurs
day. Tuesday of last week was the last
day on which certificates of nomination
could bo legally tiled in the office of tho
Secretary of the Commonwealth. Short
ly before midnight of that day Josiah D.
Hicks, of Altoona, and F. J. Kooser, of
Somerset, each filed with the Secretary of
the Commonwealth a certificate setting
forth that he had !eon regularly nomina
ted as the Republican candidate for Con
gress from this district. Mr. Hicks
promptly filed objections to Mr. Kooser's
certificate, and Mr. Kooser, with an equal
degree of promptness, filed objections to
Mt. Hicks' certificate. The Dauphin
County Court fixed Thursday of this
week as the timo for hearing the objec
tions in both cases.
Tuesday of this week was the last day
on which nomination papers could lie le
gally filod with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth.
While claiming to lethe legal nominee
and confident that the Court will so de
cide, but, in order to make assurance
doubly sure, Mr. Hicks quietly "dropped
an anchor to windward," and Tuesday
morning filed nomination papers. Mr.
Thropp also tiled nomination papers
Tuesday. Should the Court decide either
Mr. Hicks or Mr. Kooser to be legally
nominated the nomination papers of both
Mr. Hicks and Mr. Thropp w ill le w ith-
d raw n. Should the Court decide that
neither Mr. Hicks nor Mr. Kooser was
regularly nominated, the names of both
Mr. Hicks and Mr. Thropp will beplacod
on the ticket under the head of Ry
Nomination Papers," unless one of the
two should withdraw their nomination
papers prior to the date fixed by law for
the Secretary of the Commonwealth to
certify names of candidates to the Sheriff
and County Commissioners, in order that
the latter may have the tickets printed.
This, iu brief, is the beautifully mixed
situation as it exists to-day. Who is re
sponsible for it and what brought it
about?
The conference opened in a farce at
Redford some six weeks ago, w hen Mr.
Kooser appeared with three conferees
from Somerset, Mr. Evans with the same
number from Cambria, Mr. Thropp with
the same numlier from Redford and M r.
Hicks with the same number from Blair
and three additional ones from Redford.
claiming that he was the duly nominated
candidate of the latter county. From
Redford an adjournment was had to Ty
rone, at which place a number of days
were fruitlessly spent in trying to organ
ize the conference. Evans and Thropp
were willing to organize providing the
rhropp conferees were admitted to the
conference. Kooser aud 1 licks would
only agree to an organization which
would admit the Hicks conferees from
Redford county.
From Tyrone the Evans -Thropp con
ferees adjourned to Altoona, w here they
went into conference. The Hicks-Kooser
o'iferees throa for Hicks from Red
ford and Ulaireach organized at Tyrone,
where they evolved that wonderful rule
iu mathematics that iu a conference of
nine conferees it takes acven to make a
majority. Kooser'a three conferees voted
for Kooser; Hicks six voted for Hicks,
for days ; strange to relate no nomination
was made.
At length, growing weary of this sort
of diverting amusement, the four candi
dates mutually agreed to submit to Slate
Chairman Elkin's decision the question
as to who was rightfully entitled to the
conferees from Redford county. Argu
ment was uiade before the Slate Chair
man at Huntingdon, who, with a keen
ness of vision and fairness of mind that
would have put Solomon of old to the
blush, gravely decided that the six Re-d-ford
county conferees should be admitted
t the deli Iterations of the conference
with one half a vote each IJ votes for
Hicks and lj votes for Thropp.
The conference thus composed of fifteen
members, six of whom had but one-half
a vote each, met in Johnstown on. Sept.
21st, and held three or more ses' Ions dai
ly np until and including Tuesday of
last week, the last day on which a certi
ficate of nomination could ho legally
filed. The last train that could be taken
at Johnstow;n in order to reach Harris
burg before midnight leaves that station
at 4:11 p. m. Shortly after the Tuesday
afternoon session of the conference w as
called to order, Mr. Haderman, ouo of
th Hicks conferees from Redfont county.
introduced a resolution to tho effect that
either State Treasurer Haywood or Au
ditor General Myliu be added to the, con
ferenceasa conferee, with authority to
cast four votes, one for each county, and
that the conferen.te adjourn to meet at
Harrisburg at 11 o'clock p. in. Chairman
Knepper ruled the resolution or motion
out of order. An appeal w as taken from
bis decision. He declined to put the mo
tion on the appeal. Ou the refusal of the
chairman to put the motion, Mr. Earl
Ogle, one of Mr. Evans' conferees aud
one of the Secretaries of the conference
put it the roll was called and the appeal,
was sustained by a majority of the con
ference, the Hicks and Evan, couferees
yoting in the affirmative. The resolution
was then adopted a"d the Hicks, and
Evans conferees, started for the train, i
being but a few minutes till it was due.
Tho Kooser and Thropp conferees ret
m allied in the rooin and took one ballot,
resulting, kooser 3 votes, Thropp 1
votes. Chairman Knepper declared
Kooser nominated and gave him a certi
ficate to that effect, which he filed with
the State Department before twelve
o'clock that night. The Hicks and
Evans conferees, with 7J votes, proceed
ed to Harrisburg, where, as per their res
olution, they went into conference with
Sjtate Treasurer Haywood as a, conferee.
The first ballot resulted in the nomina
tion of Hicks, lie receiving Zi votes. The
Evans conferees voted make the uouv
(nation, unanimous.
Just what the ultimate ou,ioiu.a uS tbia
most farciou of all furtjftU political con
fereuoc, iu which all arithmetical and
parliamentary rules were set at defiance,
no one can at present tell. The prolKibil-
ities are that Mr. Hicks will be declared
the legal nomiuee and that his name will
be placed regularly upon the Republican
ticket, but this is not at all certain and.
the Court may decide tha no legal com.
ination has been npide, in w hich, event
there w ill le tw o candidates 1'7 nomina
tion papers U ick nd Thropp. Of
course it Is powsible, but not probable.
(hat Koter will be declared tho legal
nominee, he at no time having received
a majority of the votes of the conference
and on the ballot on which he was de
clared nominated he re-eived only the
votes of his own three oon'erees.
ECHOES FROM THE COt'PEREXCE.
I Tne Jonustown lriouae ot luesuay
last say :
The Republican Congressional Confer
ence convened in the Capital Hotel at 8
o'clock last evening for what waa
Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
thouglit to lie a short, decisive session,
but it proved an all night struggle, the
conferees not adjourning until 4 o'clock
this morning, and then w ithout making
a nomination.
The session was broken by several shor
re -esses, during which all sorts of schem
ing was resorted to by the candidates and
their frien.ls, but all the wirepulling was
barren of results, so far as a nomination
was concerned.
General Koontz, Captain Harrison and
Judge Horner came down from Somerset
last evening as rooters for Kooser.
Thropp, Hicks and Evans were also sur
rounded with friends nearly all night,
with Thropp'a room, apparently, the cen
tre of interest.
We violate no contidenco in staling that
the rooting done by the Somerset root
ers was not advantageous to the Con
gressional Candidate for whom they
were ostensibly rooting. The first no
ticeable result of their rooting was to in
crease Candidate Hicks' vote by one
on the first ballot taken after the arrival
of the rooters on the scene of action.
.
It's a nice kettle of fish to have the
party put in such a position by a lot of
people who have disgraced themselves
and their constituents by moonshine jsil-iti.-s.
The sooner the present system of nom
inating Congressional candidates is
abandoned and tho nomination left to a
direct vote of the mcmlcrs of the party,
the better. Johnstown Tribune.
.
In view of the remarkable fiasco in the
last judicial conference and tho grotesque
proceedings in the recent Congressional
conference, isn't it aliout time that some
other means than the conference system
be devised for nominating candidates for
district offices.
.
Says the Altoona Tribune: "Three
terms is not too much for an active, ener
getic, industrious congressman, such as
Mr. Hicks has been. His predecessors,
for some years past, were awarded a sim
ilar honor, and there is no earthly reason
why he should have been treated differ
ently. Neither Somerset nor Cambria
should have thouglit of contesting for the
nomination. As for the Ibnlford man, if
he wisely turns in and gives the nomi
nee a loyal and earnest support bo will
certaiuly improve his chances two years
hence. As for Mr. Kooser, ho will prob
ably come to the conclusion to remain iu
the Republican party and to support its
regularly nominated candi.lates,
Editor Y. R. Hicks, of the Altoona
Sunday News, son of Congressman J. D.
Hicks, was iu towu for several hours
Monday morning. His visit to Somerset
was for the purpose of serving notice on
Francis J. Kooser, Esq., that his claim to
be the regularly nominated Republican
candidate for Congress in this district
would be contested in the courts of Dau
phin county on Thursday. Mr. Kooser
was not at home aud Mr. Hicks was un
able to Iearu his whereabouts until he
received a dispatch from his father noti
fying him that the object of his search
was in Altoona. A notice of tho lime
fixed for the hearing was left at Mr.
Kooser's residence.
.
According to Altoona exchanges one
thousand or more of Congressmau Hicks'
enthusiastic admirers met him at the sta
tion on his arrival home from Harris
burg, and, with a brass band at their
bead, escorted him to the Republican
league headquarters whero they tendered
him a reception. Congratulatory speech
es were made by prominent local leaders
to which Mr. Hicks resMiided. Among
other things he said :
"This has iKH-n a bitter aud somew hat
acrimonious light, but I say it in sight of
the future that I have fought and won au
honest fight. I would not dare to appear
before you with a dollar mark on my
forehead. I would not disgrace my wife
and mv children bv ac-epting a brie.
What I did in the light which is now'
over, I did for my country and my city.'
