The bolt in the upper binge bad also been sawed in two pieces, bat it bad not been removed, iu order that the be ivy grated door would swing open and shut w ithout creating any sus picion. This discovery has firmly convinced the jail o.Tirslbat Sheets and Walker were prepared to break jail weeks before they did, but delayed action until the friend of the former on the outoide were fully prepared to render thein every possible assistance to get out of the county and otH of the State. Once away from Somerset county neither of them wonld be recognized, unless by some former ac quaintance. Neither Sheets nor Walker has ever traveled any considerable dis tance away from home. In fact it is claim ed that (Sheets bad never been further away from Betiu than Ureensburg, where be worked lor a short tine in bis brother's cigar factory. If their plans had not been fuUy ma- i tured aud if they bad not been resisted by friends immediately follow lug their escape.it is not believed possible that they could have covered up their tracks as successfully as they appear to have done. Sheriff Saylor and his deputies bare run down every rumor tbey have beard in regard to the alleged wharea bouts of the two men, searching barns and coal mines in various parts of the county after night, but they have not been able to learn the slightest trace of either of them. j The opinion prevails that Sheets and Walker are thousands of miles away by this time, and many people who are op posed to capital punishment, and others who have been shocked ftt the morbid curiosity manifested by thousands upon the occasions of the execution of the Nicely boys, the Roddy boys and Mey ers, express the hope that tbey will never j be captu red. i Up to this time the Commissioners have not offered a reward for the capture of Sheets.

The death of Dr. Carothers is a distinct loss to the medical profession, es pecially of this county, where his pro found knowledge, scientific skill and rare judgment were recognized and ap preciated not only by bis fellow prac titioners, but by the general public as welL' He was a graduate of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, having both classical and scientific rducatiou. Upon concluding his studies at tbe University Medical Department be devoted two years to hospital work in Philadelphia in order to acquire practical knowledge of all phases of disease. He practiced his profession in Perry county for a few years and after the death of the late Dr Henry Bru baker, eleven years sgo, was prevailed upon to remove to Somerset, where be soon acquired a large practice and was frequently called upon as con sulting physician by bis fellow prac titioners throughout the county. About five years ago Dr. CaroUiers was attacked by locomotor ataxia, an insidious and. somewhat rare disease, but he was able to continue the practice of his profession up until about ten weeks ago, when be suffered from a severe bilious attack. As soon as he was able to leave bis bed he drove to Sbauksrille in response to an urgent call for his professional services. As a result of the long drive through the crisp winter air. he contracted pneumo nia, which was the immediate cause of his death. Aside from his professional qualifications. Dr. Carothers was a highly educated and genial gentleman, whose society and conversation were sought by a large circle of friends. Dr. Carothers was married to Miss Eleanor Furst, a member of an old and prominent Clinton county family. His ftther. a well known and prominent minister nf the Uuited Evangelical Church, died several years sgo. One of his sisters is the wife nf Bishop Dubbs, of the United Evangelical Church.

Windber was the storm colIt of ?it urdy's great political tight for dectbt politics and the right of majority rule-. Sril to Somerset township and borough, ihe birthplace and borne of Mewrs. Koonlz aud Kier, the insurgeiiU pour ed their hotu st shell and resources' in to tbe great coal two. The Stulwart forces, nude r the leudwsbip of the bril liant -superintendent of tbe Ber wind White Coal Company Mr. J. S. Cun ningbaiu and his able corps of field marshals, won a signal victory, liftiug tbe scalp of "Bullyjohn Kop" and many larger and braver insargecta. The Windber Staiwarta fought an open, man ly fight for Republicanism and party rule, and judging from the following cir culars, which were freely i.istributed throughout the town, u is quite evident that tbey are unalterably opposed to boiling and every form of hypocrisy. Tbe Stalwarts of the county doff their bats to their brethren in Windber: TO THE RKPCBL1CAW VOTERS OP WISD BER AND PAINT TOWNSHIP. , "Gentlemen : Many of yon have come here lately from other counties and for your information we would state the con ditions existing in Somerset county, so that you can vote intelligently at the primary election to be held Saturday, April 1. "The Republican party in Somerset county is divided into two factions. First, The straight or regular Republicans, beaded by Mr. George RSSculL Second, The insurgents, headed by Gen. W. H. Koontc and Mr. Frank J. Kooser. "The battle is always fought out at the primaries and both sides support the nominees at the following November election. This is ss it should be under a Rspublican form of government the will of the majority rules but Gen. Koootz and Mr. Kendall refuse to be bound by the will of tbe majority of tbe Republican members of the Pennsylvania legislature when It comes to electing a senator to represent this great commonwealth. That is why they are called Insurgents. "This state of affairs, if continued, w ill eventually disrupt tbe party. A vote for Gen. Koontx and Mr. Kendall is then a vote to disrupt the Republican party. "In county affairs we should all do what we cam u further the Interests of Windber and Paini township. Nobody w ill aid us unless we first help ourselves. "Unfortunately we have some kickers amongst us, who only think of tbeir own welfare and not of what may be best for Windber they are friends of Gen. Koontx. Who is fighting tbe Incorpora tion of ". indber into a borough? Tbe friends of Gen. Koontz and Gen. W. H. Koontz has given bis valuable services towards injuring the best interests of Windber. That it why be should not receive your support. "You must aid us fight the battle for Windber until our friends of both fac tions at Somerset realize that we cannot be imposed upon. In regard to Mr. Kooser be has car- rld Somerset county twice for congress and each time given it to Mr. Thropp, our present congressman. e -defy auy- body to discover a single instance where Mr. Thropp ever did anything for the northern end of Somerset county. "It is alleged that Mr. Kooser is again running In Mr. toropps Interest Mr. Thropp having lost his own county but we can tell better af.er the congressional conference, should Mr. Kooser carry Somerset county. "We only ask what is right and Just aud this will be best obtained at this time by voting the straight Republican ticket Row is Sanner and Berkley. "J. S. Ccnsisoham, "iIi;rrick Tuomas "S. S.

Mr. Cunningham Is energetic and hearty in anything be undertakes, and his appearance in the fight was undoubt edly a powerful factor. Realizing this, tbe anti-Scull men raised the cry of cor poration influence being ranged on tbe side of the Scull oligarchy. The follow ing circular issued by the antis indicates tbe stand they took : "ATTKSTIOJf, EKPfBLKANS! "Don't be deceived by a deceptive cir cular. "Many of yoa have come in possession of a deceptive circular signed by five in' dividuals, tbe first named on the list not being a resident of Windber or Somerset county. Let ns ask "First. Does George R. Scull or bis contingent control tbe Kepublicau vote of Somer. H county ? If so, why did be not succeea in electing his bosom friend, Harvey M. Berkley, chairman of the county committee over J. A. Berkey, Esq., our present model county chairman, one year agot "Seoond. Why should any honest Re publican vote for a man for the office of United States senator when five criminal indictment are hanging over his head ? Koontz and Kendall could not, neither could you. If tbe state of affairs exists as has been under Qusy regime it will not only disrupt the party, but would teud to disrupt our most powerful nation. "Third. Gen. W. 11. Koontz has al ways done all in his power for the incor poration of Windber and Paint (Scalp Level ). W bo opposed tbe incorporation of these two boroughs? Was it Gen. Koontz or the officials of tbe Borwind- White Coal M ining company ? "Fourth. One of tbe most prominent officials of the Berwind-White Coal Min 1 g company in a conversation made public statement that should Windber ever be incorporated none of said com pany's works would be included therein Is this consistent? "Fifth. Why did J. S. Cunningham publicly and privately oppose the incor poration of Eureka No. 30 in tbe new borough of Paint? 'Sixth. Why should J. S. Cunningham tv4 in favor of incorporating Windber, as it will greatly increase taxation of the B-rwind-Wbit Coal Mining company's prjperty, fully .1 per cent? il J. S. C. turned out to bo a philanthropist? Citi zens of Windber, ask yourselves this question and vote accordingly. "Seventh. Who is Frad R ws ? He is a coal operator in the Meyersdale region, running one of tbe most ircuclad pluck- me stores on earth. I-) be a fit subject to represent you in the legislature? "Eighth. Of Koontz and Kendall, we will respectfully refer you to the Legis lative Record, which shows that they stood right on bonest taxation snd pare politics, v "Ninth.

Sell that tbey could offer no reward for the ar rest and conviction of tbe Italian despera does who massacred five men last Sun day, until after the lectiot.
