Eight batteries of regular field artil-1-ry,

It is said that homesick tie.- U the

Thuss .school districts that were
afraid they w ould have to cut the sala

no excuse for doing so for a year. The

SSkxatok Hawi.ev, of Connecticut,
is evidently not carried away w ith the
bi-neiita of the Civil Service law, as
evinced in the column of his paper,
Cue Hartford Couraut: "Whatever the
plea of the (strict advocates of the en
forcement of the Civil Service law, it
remains the commou-sense doctrine of
intelligent and efficient service that
when a man is appoiute l to a responsi
ble office where he has to give heavy
bonds, he ought to be allowed to select
the subordinate for whom he is jer-
sana'.ly and pecuniarily responsible."
Fayette county Republicans gave
the Insurgents another brain-clout Sat
urday when they elected four Stalwart
ll'tpublican delegates to the State Con
vention. The fellows who followed the
leadership of Martin and Fiinn in their
freebootiiig exbcditiou, and turned par
te tiaitors and party wreckers at Ilir
risburg last winter, are hearing f.-om
the p-ople as the days go by. Thud f.tr
the Insurgents havt been unable to
shake ort the grip of the masses, and
the unbroken record of victories for the
frie nds of Sciralor loay is continued.
Theuk is no reason why a man
-errmttj owe as noriest an 'I stra:g'it
f trwird in politics as in any other posi
tion in lif i. The schemer al way poses,
and gains ternp:rary advantages, but
there is founded uo permanent conli
ileiiiv, and that political life is of short
duration. The mvi that thinks he
riles the people is a poor ass whose
Lray is music to none but his own ears,
and tho.se about him shudder. Truth
fulness and fidelity to friends, a faith
ful performance of duty, large or small
as it may be, is the best guide to siil-css,
aud people are quick to soe the correct
Mess and good intentions of the man
adopting this rule. The cowardly
friend, the one who smiles a warm
greeting, and is hound enough to make
remarks after you pass by, resnarks
that he dares not make to your face, It
the lowest kind of an animal.
The Insurgents who ineffectually at
tempted to wreck the Kepublican party
and are now being held to answer for
their 00 ml net by the voters of the party
at their primary elections, are now talk
iug of appealing to the courts in an ef
fort to recoup their Iossjs, and consid
ering the advisability of commencing
proceedings to test the authority and
legality of several of the oflicial acts of
Governor Stone. They propose to test
his authority to defeat forgery by recall
ing a bill that he had approved that he
might correct a wrong. Th y also wish
to discredit the State by qu-istioning
the (iovernor'3 right to lop ofF a part
of the school appropriation, aud fearing
that Seuator Quay will be given a seat
in the Senate, they will attempt to force
the Governor to reconvene the Legisla
ture in extraordinary session, although
there is no reason to believe that such
action would result in the election of a
Seuator. The party wreckers are hard
pressed, but it is scarcely possible that
they are so reckless as to tske their
chances on the Sjpremt Court helping
them out of their difficulties.
The Republican primary election will
be held iu the several voting precincts
of Somerset county on Saturday, June
"4, aud all i-rsons desiring to be can
didates must register their names with
the Chairman of the Couuty Commit
tee, iu accordance with the parly rules,
ou or before Saturday, Juue 3, lsw.
The attempt of a few self-constituted
bosses to arrogantly dictate a ticket for
the voters of the county to support is
meeting with the just condemnation of
all fair-minded citizens, regardlcs of
party or faction. The voters of the
county rightly insist that a free and
fair chauce be given every Republican
who desires to be a candidate at the ap
proachiug primary, aud that they be
allowed to select from those onring for
the various oflices the meu of their
choice, free from dictation at the hands
of a clique or faction who meet secretly
to "compare notes," to organize a "Mc
Kiniey League," or to " 'learn' the peo
ple how to vote intelligently " Every
candidate w ho complies w ith the party
rules and register his name with
Chairman Berkley within the specified
time is entitled to a place on the ticiet
and to fair treatment at the hauds of
hi oppoueuta. Let the fight ba a fair,
open and ho u est one, and may the best
men win.
The Insurgent press has been attack
ing Governor Stone w ith all the venom
at their command because he exercised
bin veto prerogative to maintain the
good name and credit of the C mmon
wealth, says the Brookviile Republi
can. His pruning of the appropriation
bills, made necessary by the neglect of
the Legislature, is arraigned as an as
sault upon the cause of education, aud
an outcry raised because only (0,000,000
a year are to be distributed In aid of th
public schools, as high an amount as
was ever appropriated by any preceding
legislature, the reduction made by the
Governor but representing the sum
named to aid in the purchase of free
supplies. The criticisms of the orL-ans
of the party wreckers are not sincere,
but are made with a view for factional
advantage in the present campaign, or,
if defeated in the attempt to stamiede
the regulars, then to te used in boost
ing the Democracy. The legislature,
by its inefficiency and neglect, made
the Governor's course obligatory, and
the people of the Commonwealth Lave
cause for self congratulation iu the fact
that they had a man Su the executive
chair with the courage to di his duty
although be knew that these assassins
of reputation would camp ou his trail
for so doing. We speak advisedly when
we eay that the whole State does not
possess a more faithful friend of educa
tion than Governor Stone, and that he
knons, as every other intelligent citi
zen does, that his veto will not cut
short for a day the term of or close a
aingle school in the Siute.

GRKENsnvKa, Pa, May 23 John
Craig, of Allegheny, who was shot by a
companion on Centennial day, died at the
Westmoreland hospital at 8 o'clock this
morning. To Coroner Owens and officer
isomer, who received the ante-mortem
statement last evening. Craig refused to
state that "Hai" Hannan, of Johnstown,
did the shooting. One of the physicians
was told by Craig that the man who shot
him was a tall, slim man, wilh light
clothes and bad a crooked eye.
Coroner O. vetis this afternoon em an
eled a jury and several witnesses to tbe
shooting were examined. They all agreed
that the man who did the shooting was
t ill and slim, and wore a light suit of
clothes. The witnesses stated that the
shooting was done so quickly, and that
the shooter disappeared so suddenly, they
did not have an opportunity to get a good
view of his face.
The county commissioner have not yet
indicated I hey would foot the e vpenae ac
count of an oflieer who would begin thf
chase for the suspected Hannan.
The cause of the shooting, kept a secret
by Craig, came nut to-day. While oper
ating their "game" at Mtoona. Wednes
day, three of the party were arrested.
Hannan and George Glorcbauff, who are
said to have earried the money, left the
prisoners to get out of the trouble as best
they could. Craig charged Hannan and
Glerchauff with "unprofessional con-
duet," as it was term-id, and tha angry
words and the striking of the two com
panions by Craig led directly to the
killing.

on thedeleudauL Witness waa passing
the Meyera house when she overheard
tbe above remarks.
Elias Billnr, an aged dtizn of Gar
rett, said that he had known the Meyers'
father and son for five or six years.
On the day r the murder he saw Peter
going towards tha Meyers house where
Karney and Baker were silting on the
porch. Dsudnt made several move
ments as though about to leave the place
and GnaUy shr.-ok a cudgel at the meu on
tbe porch. Pbioeas ("avanauph, another
aged resident or Garrett, told of a cou-er-sation
he had w ith defendant in regard
to the Meters property told him that
his father was going to move into i,wbeu
defendant replied that the house was his

it w ithout taking the hair off his (de
fendant's) head. Oa the day of the homi
cide witness saw Peter going in the di
rection of the house w ith the gun. Said

few minutes afterwards heard the crack
of a gun.
On cross-examination witness said that

just before the shooting. Peter, he said.
had told him "tbat any one who helped
the old man to get the house would have
to take what they'd get;" and when wit
ness admonished him to abide by the
law, defendaut said he didu't care a d n
for tbe law.
Mrs. Cavenaogh. wife of the above wit
ness, saw Peter with the gun. He did
not seem to be excited.
Cyrus Shaulis, of Somerset township.
testified that on the morning preceding
the murder, he took" Mrs. Maria Hart and
a load of furnit ire from Somerset to Gar
rett. Defendant threatened to break up
the furniture in cae he put it in the
house. Brought Mrs. Hart back to Som
ers t the same evening.
Zacbai iah Cbristner, who lives just out
side of Garrett, testified that he has
known Christian Meyers for thirty years
ami that he has always considered hiiuas
being if peculiar and singular disposition.
When pressed for an explanation witness
said that Meyers would talk one way to
day and tho contrary way to-tnorrpw.
Defendant's brother. William, witness
said, was peculiar, as also was defend
ant's sister Linma, now dead. Witness'
wife and Christian Meyers' wife were
sisters,
M. D. Reel, of Shade township, said
that be had known the Meyers family
for a number of years when they resided
iu Shade, Christian Meyers always
impressed him as lieing eccentric. Said
that he would leava home frequently
without notifying the members of bis
family, and that the neighlxirs would ha
called upon to help search for him.
Orange Williamson, a school-teacher in
Shade township, testified that six of the
Meyers children altouded his school. The
old man, he said, w u peculiar, frequent
ly alseuting himself from his family, and
given to repeating his family troubles.
Witues regarded him as boing all right
and all wrong at times. Twoof the Mey
ers children, William and Charles, were
of a very nervous disposition. William,
when under strain in school, would bite
himself in the hand. One of tbe girls,
l-'mma, was similarly afilicted, only iu a
less.'-r degree.
John B. I'mberger, John Borkebile, and
other former neigh bors of the Meyers fam
ily in JShade township, gave similar testi
mony iu regard to the eccentricities of old
inn Meyers aril of tht nervous condi
tion of his chiUiieii. Mr. Borkebile told
of how the old mni had been found sit
ting in a c,i-tl bank one time after be had
disappeared from home. His mental con
dition at that time was very bad, bu he
got all right in a few days. The family,

old man in the house, and he afterwards
escapeiL
Mrs. Annie Keller, of Stonyereek town
ship, testified that she was the defend
ant's sister. Her father, she said, got
"out of fix" easily, and would get very
angry. On one occasion he threatened to
kill all the family and cut his own throat
with a butcher-knife, and was only pre
vented from doing so by the children and
their mother overpowering hi:n and tak
ing tbe kuifd from him. They locked the
old man in a room, from which be after
wards escaped, and was captured in a coal
bank. Her mother was always complain
ing, and was subject to spasms. Her
brother William had St, Vitus' dance
from childhood, and for a long time was
unable to walk. Her sister Emma was
never well, and could not talk for one
whole winter. Peter had spasms when
he was a boy, and would fall over any
place. KIward and Oliver, both younger
brothers, have also had spasms. "About
six years ago," the witness continued,
"Peter cams to my house- He was sick
and went to bed. He showed ma a mark
on his head where hs said filher had
struck him with a poker. His conversa
tion was irrational. One winter father
would not go to bed, aud threatened to get
a revolver and kill us all. Many a night
I sat up rn bed, trembling w ith fear of
him. Our bouse iu Shade was burned
about three months before Peter was
born."
William Meyers, brother of defendant,
said that he did not know bis age. Said
that he had had St. Vitus' dance, but was
unable tc remember bow long ago. Could
not recall family troubles when they lived
in Shade. Wituess is employed as a yard
man at Salisbury Junction.
Albert Gohn, of Paint township, who
worked for Christian M eyers 20 y ears ago,
said that the old man was very passion
ale, but that he thought most of the troub
len in the Meyers family were caused by
the wife. Witness said that Peter had
worked for him, and that he regarded
him as being all right mentally.
Mrs, John II auger, of Garrett, said tbat
she overheard Karuey say, "I am not
afiaid of him," as she passed tha Meyers
house a few minutes before the shooting.
Keyser Klmmel, tbe Garrett botelkecp
er, said that old man Meyers waa always
"cranky," and that- his children had
"funny ways." This, he said, was espe
cially so iu regard to the defendant.
Mrs. Castoel testified that old man Mey
ers was of a quarrelsome disposition with
his family.
Irviu Waller, of Somerset township,
said that the defendant and bis brother
William bud worked uuder him aa a sec
tion fireman on the B. A O. and that he
regarded William as being decidedly
"off," and defendant as being "peculiar."
The defendant was recalled and testifi
ed that bis father struck him on tbe head
wilh a poKer one night six or seven years
ago, and that he has since sutl'ared from
pains in his head. "Kight months after
be hit me, ' the defendant continued, "I
went to my sister's, in Shade township.
and told her a boot it. I have beeu
plagued ever since. I have bad "fits"
frequently." When pressed by Attorney
Ruppel to explain what he meant by
"fits" witness said be would get "sleepy,"
aud that was all be would know nntil ha
got well.
Dr. William H. Meyers, who has prac
ticed his profession for S7 years, tesli tied
tbat he has kuown Christian C. Meyers
for a period of 40 years. "Christian C.
Meyers," he said, "Is a very impulsive
man, with a low ordur of intellect, and
grossly immoral. His wife was an illiter
ate and sickly woman. Two of the boya
bad SL Vitus' dance, a diseaseof the mus
cles anil nerves, and a celebrated French
writer classes it as idiocy of tbe muscles."
Witness expressed the opinion that tbe
defendaut was a degenerate, and said that
it was possible I hat It e blow on tbe bead I
when his father struck him with a poker
might uot have troubled the victim for
eight or ten years, when it could develop
the most violent form of insanity. Tbe
Dictorsaid that, judging fiom the defend
ant's statements and his appearance in
court, there was something radically
roug with bis brain.
Doctor McKiuley.wbo has practiced his
profession since 13, vaid that head Inju-..
tie ars alwsys dangerous, but thoaght It
improbable that the symptoms described
by the defendant could arise at this late
day from the blow ho had received on bis
bead.
Ioelor Doerner, B. A . relief pbyM
cian, testified tbat he knew tbe defendant,
and had given him uot less than ti vephys
ical examinations when he waa looking
for employment on tho railroad, and that
he considered him Ix-th physically and
mentally sount'.
Nelson Lenhart, Peter T. Miller, L. A.
Maust, and nt less than twenty other
witnesses testified that they have known
the defeiidiiit for a period of years ex
tending from his childhood don to tbe
present time, and tbat they had never
considered tiro of uuiouud nuud.
Johu Ream and F. B. Collins, of Per
lin, were called and examined for the
purpose of coutradieting statements made
011 the stand by defendant in regard to
the proceedings at Garrett on tbe night of
the tragedy having been a blank in his
mind until the next day when he found
himself in jail. Both testified that the de
fendant was shamming unconsciousness,
he having reoognizod each of them. Dr.
Pollard also testified that tbe defendant
was shamming tbat night.
At six o'clock Friday evening all of the
evidence was in and tbe case closed.
The Lenhart flurder.
The case agsiust Meyers for the murder
of John Lenhart, was taken up Monday
morning. Tho testimony was practically
the same as in the Karney case. Tuo
notable difference being the evidence of
Nelson Leuhart, brothorof tbe murdared
man, who nude an unsuccessful effort to
place Meyers under arrest for the
murder of Karney, and whojwas an eye
witness of the shooting of his brother.
He testified tbat he was the Constable of
Summit township, and that be waa ap
prised of the murder of Karney about
thirty minutes after tbe shooting.
He started immediately for the
Meyers property, bet on the way was
told that Meyers had g me to his bvird
ing house Geo: g Judy's. (At this point
Captain W. M. Scbrocb was called ami
explained a map, showing the loeuiou of
the Meyers property, the resideuce of
George Judy aud an unoccupied dwelling
house immediately adjoining the Judy
residence.) Continuing, Constable Lu
hartsaid tbat be deputized his brother
John, Porter Weiiner, E. A. Bittner and
Frank Frazier to go with him and assist in
the capture of Meyers. They first search
ed the Judy resilience and not finding
Meyers there, entered the unoccupied
building adjoining. "I went into one
room," he said, "Bittner went into
another and brother John started up the
stairs. I followed close behind. When
Johu was half-way up he was shot. I
saw Meyers wilh a guu in his bauds aud
saw hiiu shoot. John fell back against
me. 1 left the house but returned in a
few minutes and found my brother dead ;
he was lying on the stairs with bis head
towards the foot. I then placed guards
around the house and telephoned for tbe
Sheriff, after which I weut before a
Justice of the Peace and lodged an infor
mation against Meyers for murder. The
Sheriff captured Meyers in the cellar of
Judy's house. (Wituess identified tho
gun taken from Meyers.)
On cross-examination Constable Len
hart testified : We had no weapons. My
brother was on his way home fio-i, work
and had his mining clothes on. His face
and hands were black wilh cial dust.
We bad nothing in our hands, lb fore
we eulered the house I called repeatedly
upon Meyers to suirender. He knew
that I was the Countable. The muzzle of
the gun was close to John's head when it
was discharged.
E Lvard Bittner confirm,! Constable
Leuhart's statements.
Dr. Pollard testified that John Len
hart had died from the result of a gunshot
wound.
Mrs. Maggie Lenhart, ths comely
young widow of tho murdered man, tes
tified tbat aba was 2S years old, and was
married in lso-l. Her husband went fi
work at 0 o'clock on the morning of Sep
tember 20, IS', and was brought home
dead next moruiug at 10 o'clock. Mrs.
Lenhart told her sad story while tears
streamed from her eyes.
Sheriff HartT.ell testified hi giing to
Garrett on September 20, lstw, and placing
Meyers under arrest. When ho reached
Garrett the Judy bouse was guarded by a
crowd of several hundred men and bon
fires had beeu started in order that the
murderer could not escape in the dark
uess. The Sheriff called upon the de
fendant repeatedly to surrender, prom
ising him the protection of the law. No
response coming from the house tbe
Sheriff and posse entered and afier a
thorough search found Meyers in tho
cellar concealed behind a lot of barrels.
He held a loaded shot gun in his hand.
When tbe Sheriff and his prisoner left
the house th ay were surrounded by au
angry crowd and in the excitement the
prisoner was struck on the head by either
a club or a pistol ball. Finally reaching j
the hotel a guard was placed over the
prisoner and at an early hour in the
morning ho was disguised aud placed on
an engine and taken to Rick wood and
from there brought to jail.
The Common wealth rested at 4 o'clock
wheu the defendant waa placed upon the i
stand. He retold the atory of his early
youth and sickness. Coming down to
the shooting of Lenhart be said th it afler
the Karney affair he went to his board
ing house, which waa soon surrounded
by a mob, who cried "shoot him." "bang J
him," "tar and feather htm." Iu about
20 minutes the door wi broken op9u
and a man came in. His face was black, j
and ho had a gun and w as ripping and I
swearing. I thought he was going to j
kill uie audi fired. His feet were even i
with the fljor. He fell. I have never
seen him since and never know who it
was. Have been told it was John Len
hart. We were friends. I bad nothing
against biui. Can't say who arrested
me. When I woke up I wssat the hotel.
Tho defense closed at 4 o'clock yester
day afternoon. Judge LongeneekT w ill

Cubans Slow After Cah.
Havana, May Tlure were seven
applicants yesterday aud 111 to-day for
shares in the f 1,000,000 which the United
Slates offered as a gratuity to the Cuban
troops. Thirty were given f7oeach. The
others were not on the rolls, although
they had guns that they were ready to
turn in, and certificates of service. The
United States military authorities con
sider that a large proportion of tbe names
on the army rolls are fictitious, and tbat
the rolls omi a majority of the names of
those rightly entitled to share in the gra
tuity. The object of this is to discredit
the entire proceedings, and to show tbe
Cuban public that a largo uumler of the
troops refused to take A merican money.
Of those paid to-day 25 turned in arms
Mausers, Remingtons and carbines. The
other five showed receipts from the alcalde,
vouching for the delivery of their arms.
Tbe payment will continue nntil noon to
morrow in Havana city. The first pay
ment outside of Havana will be made on
Tuesday at Santiago de Las Vegas.

The cars were built hers and will be

Manila, May 2S. p. ni. The approach
of the wet season finds the insurrection
seemiugly taking a new lease of life.
All along the Amertcau lines tbe rebels
are showing more aggressive acti vity, in
their gurila i-tyle, than at uny time
before since tho fall of Malolos. They
keep the Uuited S:afes troop's in. the
trencher, sleeping iu their clothing nnd
constantly on the alert against dashes
11 pou our outposts, and they make lire
warm for the Amaricin gtrr isons in the
towns.
Opposite our lines on tho south, pro
tecting Manila all the way around to
San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos have
three rows of trenches nnst of the dis
tance. Reports from prisoners indicate
that, the insurgents cocstrue the peace
negotiations to meau that the Americans
have had enough fighting. The Filipim
are also encouraged by tbe belief that the
Americans are preparing for au interval
of inactivity during the wet season.
Tt:is period is sure to be followed by
much suffering. Thousands of acres
that were uuder cultivation last year
have uot been ploughed this year and the
government will probably be obliged to
feed thousands just as it fed the Cubans.
