Scene of Lawleisinrss at Scalp.
A corresjumdent writing from Scalp
Levtd, in the Johnstown Tribune, gives
some interesting lutormatiou m regarl
to the early history of that place, as well
as lamenting the present state of society.
He says: "Scalp Level is an obi town, and
lies part in Somerset and part in Cambria
county. It is siiuated at the lorks ot
Lillie and Big Paint Creek. lis namo
originates from a bloody fight in which a
hand of hunters were killed aud scalped
by the Indians. The Soos.es, Orrises,
ltoses and Easbes w ere among tbe c-arly
settler', and Jacob Hash was the founder
of the town, about ls'D. A good farming
country surrounds the town, and the
Weavers, Hoffmans, Hershliergers, Leh
man and Voders, with others, are as good
farmers as you w ill fiud in Western Penn-
svl vania.
The people of Scalp I mean the old
citizens as a rule are or a quiet and
peaceable nature, and for many years
lived and enjoyed themselves among the
hills surrounding the towu in peace and
quiet. But things have changed, and
changed wonderfully, in tbe last year or
two. The farmers Hold their mineral
rights, first one, then another, u til, with
ihe exception of one or two farms, every
fanner iu Kichland and Paiut Townships
soid his coal, and sold it for a song $10 In
per acre for thovery best coal in Amer
i:a. One year ago there were several
hjudrsl citizjas living here. Today
there are several thousand. People came
and are coming, and they come from every
country under tho sun. Before we lived
in quiet ; now il'ssimply thcopposite.
Iu tho last few days its breu war and
fighting, and our old citizens aro harMiy
safe ou tho streets after night. Monday
a regular pitched battle took place be
tweou Scalp and tho new town of Wind
ber. Stones, revolvers, aud Winchesters
were used. Tuesday a railroad man by
tho name of Husher and a man uamed
Minser bad a quarrel. T'uo railroad man
drew a blackjack, and only for tho deter
mined interference of the landlady of the
liouso and the fact that Minser was not
armed, prevents 1 a blo.vly tight. Last
night war reigned on the streets, shots
were fired, two men were cut, one man
was shot, and several old citizens bad to
run for their lives. The greatest trouble
is tbe people have no law protection. The
township has a Constable, but ha lives
three miles out in the country, and we are
simply at the mercy of tha lawless. We
hope for the better."
The IifCBAi.n is reliably informed that
steps have already been taken by pnrtie
most extensively iuterAstod in the future
welfare of Wiudlier to have that grow
ing town incorporated into a borough,
in order that the peaceable citizens may
secure proper police protection and have
immunity from the outrages complained
of by tho Tribune correspondent.

TKS HYATT-XrrCHELL JOSTCHE.
A Different View of the Cue.
Editor Hkk ald :
An article from tho Coimellsville Con
ner in last week's II kiialr iclative totb
allegeil fortune of Thomas Hyatt contains
many Inaccuracies. Lewis Mitchell, one
of the sons of James Mitchell, came to
the Turkpyf:it country shortly after the
Kevolulionary War in company with his
three brothers. Jamex, Thomas and John
the two former of whom served in the
war. and two sisters, Margaret and Eliz-
alielh.
Lewis married an A brains, a daughter
of one of the first settlers, and lived the
remainder of bis life on the farm which
he owned -now ow ned by A. N. Tissu
aud died there at an advanced age; he
was buried at what is called the Cross
Koads graveyard, not far from tne little
village of H&mcdsvillo.
Ixjwis Mitchell's children wcro: Asa
Eli, (not Elijah), William, Otho, Huldah,
Rheavsy, Jleila, Eliza aud Sarah. Asa,
Eii aud William emigrated to Texas at an
early day, and tbe fortune, if there ia one,
comes through one or more of them. As
has lieen stated, Lewis Mitchell died iu
Turkeyfoot, and bad never been in Texas.
He is said to have been a man of fine pres
ence and a wonderful intellect, and the
three sons mentioned ere likewise fine-
looking men, intelligent and learned
These brothers bad heirs of their own in
Texas, and it is hardly possible that their
d.-si-eixlants have all died or disappeared
from that country.
OtbovMitchell, the only son remaining
in this country, had the number of daugh
tors mentioned in the article, but be had
also one sou, a veteran of the late war,
now living at Markleysburg, Fayette Co.
Pa., who has no heirs. The Miss Van-
sickle mentioned is married and lives in
the same town, Markleysburg, instead of
Markleton.
The daughters of Lewis Mitchell all
married and have many descendants.
KheavsTand Eliza marries! two brothers
names! James and iHtvid Patterson, and
they have heirs galore, who are all very
much alive.
Huldah married Henry Ilartzell, who
is the father of the two ladie mentioned.
Mrs. Burnwevrth and Mrs. Jennings, both
of w hom have beyn ilead a Bsd while.
They have elejiccndants to the third and
fourth generations in plenty in West Vir
ginia, Illinois, as well as Pennsylvania
and other stales. Mrs. Critchlieid, wife
of Senator Critchfiold. is a daughter o?
the Mrs. Burnwortli spoken of and great
granddaughter ef Lewis Mitchell. Mrs.
Jennings had a numerous family, and
their prtigeuy is, of course, correspond
ingly large. Hiia married John H, Burn-
worth, whose only heir was Patterson
Burnwortli, and his heir is A. P. Burn
worth, of Confluence. Sarah irairied a
Mr. Letts, but she left no heirs.
It will I o soen that, if there is any
money coming, there will bo plenty of
claimants beside Hyatt and his immedi
ate family, or bis d.veasevj wifj's, rather
Iu any event, under the law, he could
only have the use of it during bis life.
Outsido f the heirs named Mitchell,
w ho certainly live somewhere in Texas,
tbeie aro Hartzells, Jennings, Burn-
worths and Pattersons, in vast uumbers.
Asa Mitchell was married, surely, and
one of his sons visited this county forty
years and more ago, and there were eth
ers. So that, iu view- of what has been
said, if all the heirs turn up and have an
equal share in the division eif tbe prop
erty, Mr. Hyatt's share will bo consider
ably lessened.
Unfortunately, perhaw, the writer of
this 1-elongs to tbe wrong branch of the
family, like tho Conlhiouca man. It
niinht not be out of place to state that E.
L. Mitchell, altorney-at law, Oakland.
Md., investigated the fortune, as alleged.
in Texas, and be could discover no tan
gible basis for its existence.

Argument C-ourt convened at 1 o'cl.K-k
yesterday afternoon. After the roll ef
attorneys had been called and motions
tiled Judge Longeuecker asked for an ex
pression from the inaiubcrs of the liar in
regard to changing the time for holding
the regular epiarterly terms of court, ad
jouruod courts and argument courts. No
definite changes wcro agreed upon aud
the changes, if any, will not bo announc
ed until after bis Honor has consul tcM
the members of the Bedford county bar.
Argument for a now trial in bebalfof
lenry W. Shafer, convicted two weeks
agoof incest, was then taken up. Couu
selfortho defendant argued that the'r
client Is Insane and that the jury should
have so found. The Court declined to
take this view of tho case and refused a
new trial. Shafer was dirorted to stand
up for se-iitence and w hen asked if he bad
anything to say entered upon a long
harangue, in which be declartsl Lis
nnocence and claimed that he waa
subject to spells of dementia. Before im
posing sentence Judge Longenecker
said: "There is a slight possibility
that you may not be morally re
sponsible for the crime of which you
stand convicted ; if the Court were con-
v! ne:ed that you are we would seud you to
5 pl.ivO whenj you oould not cotatnit a
similar offense for a long term of years;
uuder tho circumstances tho sentence of
ho law is that you pay a fine of Jtii, the
costs of proseeutiem, and undergo separate
aud solitary confinement in the Western
cnitentiary for a perioel of four years.'.'
The crimeof which Shafer stand, fony jr
cd wtjs 03Q of tbo abominable ever
erpetiated in the county, the prosecutor
1 eiing his Id-year old daughter. The tes
timony adduced at the trial was of the
most revolting character.

thpy sunk across its entram-e. II is
fsitwibie for the Spaninrds to get nut, and
it is equally iiiiswsible for any vessel to
get into the harbor. Thereforo, the Span
ish first-class ariuored cruisers Marie
Teressa, Cristobal Colon, Vlzcayaand Al
inirante Opjeiido, with the two torpedo
boat destroyers Furor and Pluton, are no
longer of any use to Spain.
This result waa accomplished through
a daring exploit in w hich all the men in
terested expected to lose tholr lives. They
piauned, after sinking the Merrimac with
torpedoes, if they were not blown out of
the water by Spanish mine or torpedoes,
to escape from the Merrimac iu a small
boat aud reach tbe steam launch of the
cruiser New York, whUvb had followed
theui. Iu this they failed. They auc
ciHhled in gelling away from the Merri
mac before the torpedoes which they had
"set" exploded and sunk the collier, but
they wero unable to find the steam
launch, which had become lost from
them. There was nothing to do but sur
render to the Spaniards, who had aent
out a boat from Admiral Cervcra's flag
ship and picked thorn up. The name f

their bravery sent word to the Amerie-au

was willing to exchange the prisoners.

have been sent to them and the nesressary

STOKY OK THE MKKRIVAf.
A Pittsburg Dispatch special cablo tells
tbe following remarkable story of the
sinking of the Merrimac t
Late Thursday afternoon aud during
tho night the greater part of the coal re
maining in tbe Merrimac was placed on
board the warships. Commander J. M.
Millorand the crew of left the oollior
and Lieutenant Hobnon and seven went
ou board. His orders were simple. He
was to run into the channel to a certain
point, if tbe Merrimac was not funk in
the meantime, then blow up the ship and
take their chances of esenpo.
When Lieutenant Hobson and the sev
en Uiile their comrade goexliiy those
who stayed behind and those w ho went
never expoe-ted to see each other .""gain.
And yet the 4,0i)0 envied the eight, who
joked about their good fortune.
Tbe start was made at 3 o'clock Friday
morning, the Merrimac lumbered along
under her own steam. The big American
warships drew nearer to protect the cedl-
er from the Spanish lloet as best they
could.
Every light was hidden and the collier
moved along. She slipped by the scouts
guarding tbe entrance to the harlxir. It
was 4 a. m. when she entered the chan
nel.
Then the guns of Fort Morrodise-ovored
he Merrimac, plowing ahead, bent on
roceeding an far as possiblo before she
ssnk, fearful of running aground before
an advantageous place was reached. The
guns from Socapa fort and from the bat
teries along shore eiper.e j fire.
SPOTS FALL LIKE RAIX.
The gunners had the range to a foot.
It was fair for them to suppose that the
Merrimac was a big warship; that she
was leading the way for the others, and
that the whole fleet was trying to force an
entrance to the harbor. If they sauk her
no other ship could pass. The shots fell
upon the collier like rain in a tropical
storm. She bad a path bill feet wido. She
must keep in it.
On either side, before and behind, the
great guns boomed and roared. As the
collier moves! along tbe Heiua Mercedes,
the Spanish flagship, gunboats and tor
pedo boats opened fire upon her.
The Merrimac was no warship with
pruteeted sides, with great guns no fight-
ng ship. She was but a merchantman
that bad len condemned, whose thin
hell could no more stop the great pro-
joL'ti!e thau so much paper. And the
men aboard coub not fight ba,ek. They
had no arms. 'i'Uey cquld not know the
exhilaration and excitoment of combat.
They amid only withstand tbe rain of
bhot as let they could, marveling each
socond that they were still alive.
Upon the bridge, stood Jen tenant Hob-
son. .ow and then bis brother oflleers
oould catch a glimpse of his figure by
means of their powerful glasses. Tbcy
knew he was measuring his chances as
quietly and coolly as he made his caten
ations over his drawing-table in a navy-
yard.
Down In the waist of the ship were the
stokers aud the engineers. They could
hear the rvar of tbe guns that revorbera-
o ! lietween the cliffs. They could work.
but they knew that if any thing happened
to the ship no power on earth could save
them. There was lofty, sublime courage
the stokehole of the Merrimac t',-;
mornincr.
SAII.IXQ OVER DKATU.
The ship was approaching the first liue
f torpedoes, those submarine mines filled
with the most powerful of explosives,
each one of which cou'; U'.ov iae Morrl
mic to aU.iua. Tkia-e war no inspiration
of prouable victory to exhilarate these
men, such as Farragut felt at Mobile. If
they were blown up, their dcn'U would
lehow the exact petition and power of tbe
minus, and tbe hulk would block the
hannol.
But tho Merrimac passed over the first
bed of ipines. The ship did not rise up
nder them. The Mernutac. mov ed fur
ther iu toward the city.
The tire of tho Spaniards grew hotter
and hotter. There could not have been
lietler target. The Merr jinac is 330 feet
oi(g and Ue stood high up out of the
water, becauso sho was nearly empty.
w as riddled like a sieve, Tho whole
Spanish fire waa concentrate! upon her.
Still she sslledon. There were American
sailors alxi.ird that ship. The water hiss
ed and boiled with the lashing of shot.
The vessel was a mass of splinters. The
man at tbe w hl Va injured. Another
siirar.g to Uke bis place.
Thicker and faster came shell and shot,
The roar of guns, tbe shrieking and hiss
of shell grew more dreadful. The Mer
rimac was near tho eud of lcr VmL voy

the ship drew to it. Lieutenant Holison
was waiting. The men strained their
ears for the order. It came at last the
order that iuarke t) pud pf (he enter
prji? to let go the anchor.
As the rou slipped into the sea caiue an
order to lower the ltoat. Tbe eight bad
nil li! led their part to their country. It
waa their duty now to try to save them
selves. A torpodo had been carefully placed in
tho Merrimac, au infernal machinj of
great power, so avnined as to blow a
great hole iu her bottom. Lieutenant
Llob.n undo a lis.' examination of t.
Then be set the elts-lric machine to work
ing. Hurrying on deck again he followed
his luen into the boat. They pulled away
from the Merrimac, bile thestorm from
tbe Spanish guns rained aliout them.
When they were clear of tbe ship tbe
torpedo exploded. The Merrimac was
raised high out of the water, and then she
sank, her spars show leg above tbe water
when she reached the bottom. It was
splendid daring and magnificent courage
upou the part of Lieutenant Hobsou and
his seven men to bring tho Merrimac
through tbe channel. It would have leen
foolhardinexs for them to try to row lmck
in an open I .out,
SV'RRKSDKBKB TO THE SPANIARDS.
They made directly for the Spsnish
flagship, the Infanta Maria Teresa, and
the Spanish erased firing. How they
welcomed the gallant men, lim bravery
commanded their admiration !
Aud it was this recognition of the enemy
which led to Admiral Sampson' learn
ing of the fate of bis olliccr and men.
For Admiral Cervera sent a lb'g of truce
to the American commander, telling him
that the Merrimac was sunk iu the chan
nel, and that Lieutenant Holrson and bia
men had escaped from her and were on
board the flagship, held as prisoners of
war. Two are slightly wounded.
Admiral Cervera said be sent the flag
of truce in recognition of the bravery of
Lieutenant Hobson and tbe seven, aud
while they are held as prisoners they will
be treated with consideration.
There was then grut rejoicing on th
American ships, and wonder over the al
most miraculous escape of Lieuteiian
Holison and his seven.
