Brilliant Eaeord f ths Liaeola Clob'a Services for the G. 0. P. A silly individual takes exceptions to the Republican meeting advertised to be held in this place to-morrow evening nnder the auspices of the Lincoln Club. In addition to the contempt felt for his political methods by all honest Republi cans, be has now made biinseir tbe object of their ridicule. The Lincoln Club had arranged to hold a meeting here during tbe month of Sep tember, but when it was learned that Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, who had promised to be present, would be unable to apeak at that time on account of sick ness, the meeting was postponed. On October 21st Colonel Barnett, United States Senator Penrose, Attorney General Elkin and Senator McCarreH were in vited to come to Somerset and address a Republican meeting to be held nnder tbe auspices of the Lincoln Club, nd they promptly accepted. It is presumed that tbe fact that the distinguished gentlemen named bad con sented to come here was made known to the Chairman of the Republican State Committee, who inadvertently attached his signature to a communication ad dressed to "My Dear Chairman," and the latter straightway advertised tbe quartette of "spellbinders" to address a meeting at Meyersdale for the same evening. Tbe Lincoln Club disclaims all respon sibility for any communications alleg ing to bave been signed by tbe Chairman of the Republican State Committee ex changed with "My Dear Chairman," but it will cordially welcome every person who attends tbe Republican meeting to be held in Somerset to-irorrow night. A brilliant display of fireworks will be given immediately preceding and at tbe close of the meeting. Three or four ex cellent bands of music will be in attend ance and a good time is assured for all who attend. Three years ago one of the largest dele gations visiting Canton for tbe purpose of aiding the campaign of the Republican candidate for President made tbe pil grimage from this county under the auspices of tbe Lincoln Club. Six months later, when William McKinley was inaugurated President of the United States, tbe Lincoln Club sent a delegation to the National Capital to participate in tbe inaugural ceremonies, and during tbe following summer, upon the occasion of tbe President's visit to this town, tbe Lincoln Club tendered bim one of the most notable serenades and receptions in the aunals of tbe county. Tbe Repub lican meeting to-morrow night will add another chapter to tbe Club's record for true Republicanism and loyalty to the t tndard-bearers of the Republican party. Tbe outlook for an enthusiastic Re publican rally is inoit encouraging, and all wbo can do so should attend. The Club has arranged for pecial ex cursion trains from Salisbury Meyers dale, Berlin and Paint Creek, at one fare for tbe round trip.

Scott, of Pittsburg, appeared before town council Thursday evening and asked that an ordinance be passed giving a company represented by him a franchise to construct an electric street railroad from the Baltimore A Ohio rail road station to the west line of the bor ough. The streets it ia proposed to util ize for street railway purposes are Patriot from the railroad station to the intersec tion of Main Cross, Main Cross to the public square, and thence out Main street to tbe borough line. A motion to defer action was adopted after considerable de bate. Mr. Scott is a director and the principal promoter of the Highland Inn. The ordinance provides that the railway empany shall bave trolley cars running on or before July 1, lfW, and that the roadbed between the tracks and one foot on either side shall be maintained ia good audition by tbe traction company. In advocating tbe adoption of the ordinance Mr. Scott said that it was proposed to have cars pass the public square at inter vals of every seven or eight minutes dur ing eighteen hours of the day during the months of June, July, August, Septem ber and Ojtobsr, and that the line would be operated sixteen hoar daily during the ratn&in'.ng months of tbs year.

Old Xoeaakiner Zicapcd, bat Two sf His Confederates Were Captnrtd. BAD AIX OF EETEKTJI OrFICE&S. After being bunted like a wild bcant for eight years old "Bill" PriUs, the lead er of tbe baud of luconMb ners w bo ir ftt tbe Laurel Hill Mountain in tnis and Fayette counties, was Thursday morning surprised by a posse of revenue officers in charge of Deputy -Collector Dixon, and, although old "Bill" is still at liber ty, two member of tbe band were cap tured and areiu the Uniontown jail. Deputy Collector Dixon, Deputy Unlttd States Marshall Frank Campbell, of Uniontown, and police officer Custer, of Rockwood, accompanied by guide, who is said to know every path aud hi ding place in the Lanrel Hill, left Rockwood at a late hour Wednesday night for the haunta of the luooushinera, Reaching a point above Trent they left their rig and followed the guide through the woods to a rude shanty about two hundred yards from tbe Pritts residence. Entering the building tbe revenue officers patiently waited for tbe coming' of tbe dawn and tbe return of the rroonshiners. A smouldering fire under a copper ves sel, in which the native mountain rye is reduced to the fiery liquid so greatly relished by tbe moonshiners, told them that the manufacture of illicit whisky had recently been in progress, while sev eral crude wooden vessels filled with warm mash and a generous supply of rye chop, bespoke an early visit from the crafty old mountaineer. The atmosphere was so heavy with smoke from recent mountain fires that the revenue officers could see only a few rods from tbe moon shine still, but about eight o'clock their vigilance was rewarded when they saw old "Bill" accompanied by his son Henry and a mountaineer, named Vay, wend ing their way up from tbe Pritts home. Just as they reached tbe front door the officers rusbedout and the three moon shiners stood for a moment each looking into the barrel of a revolver. Dickson and Custer took the two young men in charge, neither one resisting, but wily old "BUI" got away In a manner that real ly surprised tbe officers. Campbell made a move to lay hands on him, but "Bill" swiftly jumped to one side and started to run at the top of bis speed. Campbell emptied bis revolver at the retreating figure of tbe aged moonshiner, but ap parently without effect, since he disap peared in the thick undergrowth and was lost to view. Campbell was evidently fearful of tbe outcome of a hand to hand struggle with old "Bill," since he could have easily outstripped him in a race. The officers then destroyed 10 bushels mash, tbe still, a barrel of highwines or mountain dew, and immediately left with the two men for Rockwood. The officers claim that they were fearful that old "Bill would summon the members of the band and release the prisoners before tbey couldf et out of the mountain, unless they moved promptly. Pritts' still was raid! about a year ao, but it seems that be resumed business immediately after the departure of the raiding officers, and has sioce been mak ing moonshine on a larger scale than ever before. Those who know old "Bill" best say that he has a "charmed life," and in con firmation of their statements cite tbe numerous ineffectual attempts that have been made to capture him. After the murder of "Yony" Hochatetler a price was set ou PriUs' head ; one of Hocbslet ler's sons took a crack at him with a rifle, shattering his left arm, and revenue officials have made innumerable unsuc cessful attempts to capture him. A gentleman who recently visited Pritts says that he is a much maligued man. He claims that Pritts may engage iu the manufacture of moonshine at in tervals, but if he does it is only for the purpose of supplying tbe cravings of bim- dlf and a certain class of denizens of the mountains for the contraband liquid, and that the old man has been driven to the necessity of making moonshine entirely on account of his inability to pay the price of taxable whisky. He declares that Pritts looks after his farm as care fully as any man in tbe neighborhood, ia as hospitable to strangers as the average farmer, and is a good citizen in every retpect outside of bis engaging in the manufacture of mountain dew. The gentleman quoted laughs at tbe many stories current in regard to the old man ging armed at all times and aaya he doubts If "Bill" ever shjt a gun off ten times ia bis life. He says, however, that Prills is a stranger to fear, being possess ed of great physical strength, but that he has never been known to go armed. Pritts is about sixty-five year of age. and It Is said that ho has never visited Somerset or Connellsville, tbe two largest towns easily accessible to hi home, more than two or three times in his life.

PS91 FQVDin I Absolutely Pure CHARGED WITH GLESSNER'S MURDER. Alexander Gerhart and Bufo Diveley Ar retted ea Smpioion ef having Had Hand la th Foal Deed. F&IS05XBS CLAIM THXY GAJT FB0TZ AS AilBL Two arrests have been made for the murder of Augustus Glessner, on Satur day night, October 21st, near Berlin. Alexauder Gerhart was taken into cus tody and brought to jail at midnight last Wednesday by Constable Sidle. Rufus Diveley was arrested Siturday by Constable King, at Rockwood, and was brought here and placed In jail the same afternoon. A Pittsburg detective has been work ing up tbe case since Tuesday a week, but be refused to divulge anything that he has learned connecting tbe two sus pected men with the foul murder of Gless ner, and it is probable that he will not show his band nntil called upon to do to by the cour. Tbe detective is working nnder tbe direction of District Attorney Meyers, and bas held a number of pri vate Intel views with that official. It is said that Gerhart, wbo is a miner out of employment, made a number of contradictory statements In regard to his whereabouts on the night of tbe tragedy, claiming, when first questioned, that he was at bis boarding-house from &30 o'clock Saturday evening until a late hour Sunday morning. To other parties he is alleged to have stated that be went to his boarding-place about 8 o'clock on the night of the murder, but returned to one of the hotels between nine and 10 o'clock, where he remained for only a short time, when he returned to his board ing house. It is claimed that Gerhart's actions on the night of the murder were of such a suspicious character as to justify his arrest. He la said to have watched Gleesner closely while tbe latter was drinking and showing hi money at a ho tel bar, and that he made damaging ad missions after it was discovered that Glexsner had been murdered. Gerhart took his arrest very coolly, and declares-that he will have no trouble to prove a complete alibi. Mr. and Mrs. J. Robert Pbilson, with whom he boarded, it is understood, will both testify that he was at home and in bed at the hour the murder is alleged j have been com mitted. Gerhart is a fine-looking young man, about thirty-two years of age. He work ed in tbe mines near Berlin up until a boot two months ago, since when be bas been without visible means of support. He says that his father is a prominent farmer living near Uoutzdale, Clearfield county. He wrote to his father immediately after be was brought to jail. Suuday morning two young men, strangers, who said they were hi brothers, called at the jail to soe him. Gerhart has employed an attorniy to look after bis case, and when the detective undertook to "pump" him, Sunday evening, be flatly refuxed to talk about tbe Glessner mur der, saying that he had placed his case in tbe hands of his lawyer. He also declin ed to make any statement concerning bis arrest for publication, further than to state that bia Innocence would be estab lihhed at the proper time. After lodging Gerhart in Jail Wednes day night. Constable Sidel and a young man named Ream, who accompanied him from Berlin to Somerset, left for Greens- burg, driving across tbe mountain. They had a warrant for the arrest of Rufus Diveley, and expected to capture bim near that place. Diveley left Berlin Tues day, giving out that be was going to Westmoreland county. It seeing that he stopped off Rockwood, where he drank repeatedly at tbe different hotel bars, treating bis acquaintances agaia and again. It la claimed that he showed at least nineteen dollars to Rockwood par ties, w bereas bis wife la said to have stated that she bad to give him money enough to pay bis way from Garrott to Rockwood on the train. When he was arrested and searched, a half-hour after he was placed in the Rockwood lock-up, a bloody pock et handkerchief was found in one of his pockets. Dively claims that his n.iee had been bleeding, and that the handkerchief became stained in that way. He denies that he had more than four dollars when he reached Rockwood, and say that be did not present bills of either five or ten dol lar denominations to be changed, as la charged. An unconfirmed rumor i to tbe effect that the murdered man received a f 10 gold certificate from a party owing him on the day preceding the murder. Gless ner had never before seen currency of that description and la reported to have said that be believed it to bs a counter feit note, whereupon the party tendering tbe money made a memorandum of the number of the certificate in order that be could identify it in ease Glessner return ed it. The detective ia trying to trace tbe $10 gold certificate to Dively, as he is said to bave had a bill of that denomi nation at Rockwood. Another report in circulation ia to the effect that a conversatioa between Dive ley and Gerhart, when the former ao eased tbe latter with hiving "lead him into tbe trouble," was overheard by par ties living ln Berlin. Diveley is a son of the late Charles Diveley, of Berlin, and is well-connected. Ha is about twenty -three year of age. aid a Ugar-roller by occupation. He is married. His wife, it ia understood, will testify that he was at home on tbe night of the murder. Dively has never been 0 larged with a criminal offense before. The atmosphere over about Berlin has been alive with rumors ever since Glessner was murdered, and the tongue of gossip has connected the names of a good many people with tbe c.-itne. Tbe officers in charge of tbe case have ran down a number of supposed clews during the week without result. One rumor bad it that the paitiea who had removed the paling from the Bru ba ker fence bad been aeen and recognised ; and another was to thi effect thit the de tective bad picked np the half of a brok en button on tbe road where G tenners body was found, which corresponded with a half-button on the coat worn by a suspected party. Both these rumors are without fou ndation ; the button fow nd was torn from tbe clothing of the murdered man. Tbe paling which, it was first believ ed, would figure conspicuously in solv ing tbe mystery of Glass ners mur der, was not the instrument that caused the unfortunate victim's death. It ia claimed that the deadly blow was struck with a sand-bag or black jack, and that the skin on the victim's bead was not broken, as it would have been had he been struck with a paling. A braise on the dead man's left wrist and a gash cut over his right eye may, however, have been the result of strokes from a paling. It is earnestly hoped that tbe guilty parties will be apprehended and brought to Justice. Glemner s murderers are believed to be members of an organised band of highwaymen, who have held up and robbed a number of parties near tbe scene of his death, but who have always managed to successfully cover op the J" tracks.
