When, twenty eight years ago, our
Republic called for defenders, the best
and the bravest gave themselves an
anbwer totbat call, so to-day of your
choicest and best weave a garland to
bestow in honor of the grandest pa
triotism earth was ever proud of, and
in memory of the truest patriots that
ever trod this same earth. And when
your children inquire why ye do so
say, It is done in remembrance. And
whilst ye teach their fingers to gather
the flowers and twine the wreath and
the garland, be not silent concerning
Ihe matter that is thus memorialized.
Then will they have pride of their an
cestors and love their country, and if
another such time should arise, will
emulate the deeds if these grand men
who went down to doatb that a nation
might live.
The storm king was abroad Mon
day. And although no damage of
account was done iu town still the
wind blew a pretty stiff breeze for a
few minutes. A pear tree in front of
the M. E Parsonage, a crab-apple
tree in Jos. Grove's front yard, and a
pear tree one that had been grafted
into an ash in Judge Irwiu's yard,
were all blown dowu. Up at Tubbs
Run the storm was more severe. Over
the creek it was also quite severe. Up
ou the hills it was still worse, leveling
fences, blowing down trees, eto. The
oil regions suffered pretty severely in
tbe way of blown-down derricks and
upsetting of rigs generally. Tbe loss
es will foot up many thousand dollars
all told. At Tylersburg tbe storm
created quite a havoc, having moved
some of the houses from their founda
tions, and tearing roofs from buildings,
among which was oue belonging to
Mr. Ralph Ault.

EVERHART AND HORNER.
Both Discharged and Re-arrested.
The bearing of Dan. Everhart and
Jim Horner, for the commission of the
Everhart-Gilfillan murder, came off
before 'Squire McGregor at East
Brady, on Thursday last and resulted
n tbe discbarge of the pris
oners, tbe prosecution having failed
in producing evidence sufficient to
warrant the Justice in binding tbem
over for trial. When the prisoners
had been discharged tbe prosecution
seemed surprised at tbe result, believ
ing they had given sufficient proof to
bold tbem, and averring that, bad
they thought the Justice was not sat
isfied they could have produced abun
dant additional testimony. This may
or may not be the case; at any rate,
the evidence as printed in the Derrick
is hardly enough to satisfy the general
public, and if they had more convinc
ing proof it would not have injured
their case to have shown it up.
Nine witnesses were called, the sub
stance of whose evidence is about as
follows: Mrs. Lena Mahle, a near
neighbor, saw a medium-sized man in
a gray coat, carrying a walking stick,
or stick of some kind, walk briskly
through the Everhart gate and pro
ceed in the direction of tbe house,
about noon tbe day of the murder.
Rob't Anderson testified to a con
versation in a hay field with Dan in
1884, in which be expressed himself
as being dissatisfied with his stepmoth
er, who was opposed to making him a
title for his land. If it were not for
his mother he might haul all the bay
to his own barn instead of only part
of it.
George E. Whitemore, a young
school teacher, was returning from
school about 4 o'clock, when he was
stopped by Mrs. Mahle, who said
there's trouble down there, indicating
Everhart's house; sbe invited the
teacher to go with ber saying she was
afraid to go alone. The witness called
to Dan. Everhart, who came to the
door in his shirt sleeves, and was in
formed there was trouble at his fath
er's. He then put on a gray coat and
accompauied tbe teacher, sometimes
running, and sometimes walking to
the house. At the gate they met Mr.
Owens; they all proceeded to enter
the house by the kitchen door; Owens
first, Dan next and the teacher fetch
iog up the rear. From the kitchen
tbey went to tbe dining room, where
tbey saw the body of Mrs. Gilfillao
lying on the fl ior with her throat cut
When Dan stepped into ihe room he
exclaimed, is it so? Mr. Owens re
plied, it is too true; Dan returned:
"Oh, I looked over tbere," indicating
a direction opposite to where the
body lay.
N. B. Host was called to contradict
the assertion that the defendant, Ilor
ner, rode with him or saw biin ou bis
way to Lickiugville about noon ou the
day of the murder. The defendant,
Horner, rode back with witness from
Lickingville on the return trip. He
saw Dan Everhart chopping wood,
and said "hello" to him, and received
a hello from Dan in reply.
E. II. Sawyer was defective in bear
ing, but his memory was unimpaired.
This witness distinctly recalls seeing
Dan Everhart and Homer walking up
town together, coming from tbe direc
tion of the Everhart haute, between
1 and 2 o'clock, and half an hour be
fore N. B. II' st drove into town.
Witness could not be ioduced to mod
ify bis testimony.
Miss Lena Sandrock testified to at
tending a singing class at the Luther
an Church in Fryburg, at which Hor
ner was present, ou the night of the
tragedy, but Beut Buck was ber escort
and Horner was the escort of her sis
ter. She testified to visiting Deitz's
tavern where tbey drank some wine.
Horner became quite boozy when
ready to start for home. Horner
went to tbe barn after his horse, aud
when be returned be said, cold blood
bad been shed near Lickingville, but
at first refused to say where. He sub
stqueutly admitted that it was at
Everhart's, and that Dan Everhart
had met bini at the barn, cautioned
him to say nothing about it.
Edward Eisenmao, of Fryburg, tes
tified to seeing Dan Everhart in Gra
ham & Facemraeyer s stors betweeu 9
and 10 o'clock ou the night of the
tragedy. Young Seigworth was w ith
Everhart, aod it was then he heard of
tbo murder from Mr. Seigworth. Dan
was standing by his side, but ho re
mained silunt.
After the sumraiog up by the law
yers on both sides the Justico dis
charged tbe prisoners. Immediately
upon the discharge, new warrants were
taken out before 'Squiie Summerville,
of Brady township. Horner was
arrested the next day at East Brady,
and Everhart was arrested at Clarion.
No date has as yet been set for tbe
bearing.

The Storm in Clarion County.
A Tylersburg dispatch says that
Monday's storm was the most severe
one that has ever visited that section
of Clarion county. Although no lives
are reported lost many narrow escapes
were made. Tbe destruction to pine
and hemlock timber is immense, while
from tbe meagre reports already at
hand, the destruction of live stock is
great. Trees from three to four feet
in diameter were blown down and
roads were generally blocked.
Trrffic on the uarrow guage road
was totally suspended fur nearly two
days. Farmers sustained heavy losses
by their fences being blown down and
iu a number of instances the destruct
ion of whole orchards is reported.
McDonald's saw mill near Vowinckel
was blown iu completely, the smoke
stack mashtd to smitbeieens, aud the
mill machinery was piled up in a con
fused way. When the catastrophe
occurred there was 90 pounds of steam
in the boiler, and fur a time it was
thought that tho explosion of the
boiler would add horror to the scene.
The mill was being operated by Mr.
Dailey, and just what it will cost him
to get it in running operation again
is not known. A falling tree struck
the residence of Heck Smith, about
one mile north from Tylersburg, con
sisting of four in the house, but as the
tree struck the gable end they all
escaped without being injured.
A train on the narrow gauge con
taining over 30 passengers was blown
from tbe track, and while every pas
senger was injured some, none, it is
thought, are dangerously hurt. Soy
dersburg fared woree than most of the
little towns in this section. Mrs.
Snyder's hotel was completely unroofed
aod the whole top caved in. Joseph
Newland's store was also unroofed and
the goods were moved to Lucioda.
Scotch Hill, six miles southeast oi
Tylersburg also received its share of
devastation. The large skating rink
was bodily picked up, carried six or
eight feet, turned over and smashed to
atoms. At Strobleton, two miles
northeast of Fryburg, a fence rail was
blown through the large show window
of Moran's store. Mrs. Leight, who
was standing near the door, was strnck
in the face and badly injured. Pat
rick Haiue's barn, two and one-half
miles northeast from Fryburg, was
lifted from its foundation, carried quite
a distauce and smashed to pieces. The
agiiculiural machinery was also badly
damaged.
Lickingville was also visited by the
destructive elements, and John Ever
hart's barn was completely wrecked ;
had ooe cow killed aod other stock
hurt, while his tract of piue limber
land is said to be ruined. S. 8.
Barne's barn, three miles north of
Tylersburg, was visited by the storm
entirely destroying it. What appears
to be tbe most miraculous heard of yet
in that section was that a horse was in
the barn and not the least injured.

Rov. R. J. Graetz left last Monday
for Youngstown, O., where be will

store in a neighboring town the other day
and sat dowu for half an hour or so, when
a clerk asked if there was anything she
could do for him. He said not he didn't
want anything. She went away, and ho
sat there half an hour longer, when the
proprietor went to him and asked If he
wantod to he shown anything. "No,"
said the nervous man, "I Just wantod to
ait around. My physician has recom
mended perfect quiot for mo, and says,
above all things, I must avoid being in
crowds. Noticing that you did not adver
tise in Ihe newspapers, I thought that this
would bo as quiet a place as I could llnd,
so I Just dropped in for a few hours for

up a bolt of paper cambric to brain him.
but the man went out. lie said all he
wanted was a quiet life.
A few years ago several gangs of sur
veyors from Now York made their head
quarters in East Brady and surveyed the
wholo country, apparently. It was said
that they wero surveying for an air line
railroad to connect New York with Chi
cago and shorten tho distance 150 miles
over that of any other railroad line.
Having accomplished their work, they
left and nothing deliulte was ever heard
of the project. It now appears that the
buildiug of the road is an assured fact.
Tha name of the road is to be the New
York, Mahoning A Western railroad. It
will run almost in a direct line from Red-
bank, this county to Fort Wayne, Iud. It
shortens the distance between New York
and Chicago 1:18 miles. The railroad com
pany has let the contract for grading,
tracklaying and ballasting the entire line
to Geo. D. Silsby, of Findlay, O., and the
work will be commenced at onco. The
contract for 817 miles of steel rails has just
been let to the North Chicago rolling mills,
and construction contracts have also been
made. East Brady Review.

ancy of tho dawn I In the city parks in
summer, bow velvet are lawns and swards,
clOftc-clTpped, and losting the eye with
their verdure 1 And tho dear little city
gardens, so tenderly loved and cared for,
how burdened they are with tlio fuchsias

of the beautiful alone, should we do with

Rev. Feitt's Momorial Sermon.
On last Sabbath morning, Rev. B. F
Feitt preached the usual momorial sormon
fnr tho O. A. R. and the pcoplo at the
Presbyterian Church In this place. There
was a goodly gathering of the veterans
and citizens ; bonio from the surrounding
country. We note a few of the points in
this excellent and masterly sermon t
The text was from St. John, "Greater
love hath no man than tills that a man
lay down his life for bis friends."
History is not lacking in instances of
this supreme proof of love this supreme
self-sacrilice for tho good of others.
Enumerato if possible tiiose of our com
rades who full hi battlo lighting for liberty ;
Suuimoa them from their bloody graves;
what a host 1 Marshal them into compa
nies, in battalions, in regiments, in divis
ions, in armies; behold what masses;
what endless columns, what a dense array I
Yet to all, life was precious. They gave
their lives for tho common good, to ran
som men from bondage, from degradation,
Have they not imitated, so far as their na
ture would allow, the example Christ
made of himself on Calvary. One senti
ment animated every soul and that senti
ment was the highest type of patriotism I
a willingness to die, that their country
and. government might not perish from
the earth. As the fruits of their efforts
we have liberty for which centuries have
sighed, conscience is free and education to
bo hal without money or price. I am
speaking to an American audience and in
a suite where patriotism Is hereditary,
whose high honor it is to have shed some
of the first blood to perpotuate the gov
ernment of our country. The speaker
then eloquently referred to tha Spring of
1H01 and tho blood that tho (Ith Massacfcu
solts and tlio Philadelphia brigade, under
Gon. Small, poured out on the streets of
Baltimore, and the gallant stand they
made.
,W hut is money without a government,
knowledge without a country T What are
lands, home, wifo and children, without
liberty ! These considerations impelled
the noble band of patriots to hasten to the
defenso of their native land. In an hour
the Nation awoke from its trance of in
difference and saw, as one sees at midnight,
a mountain illuminated by lightning, the
relation of Government to liberty, wealth,
and whatevor is most precious to the race.
To bo permanent a government mint be
honored. The true basis of authority is
not physical force. It must bo strong and
honored enough to command tho respect
of its subjects. It must Lo able to defend
itself from all insults and hostiloiutrusion.
This principle also applies to the Divine
Government. Deeper than reason; deeper
than education, in the human heart is the
principle and acknowledgment of Justice.
Hence all attempts to emasculate a peo
ple's Idea of God have failed. Thus con
stituted and thus alono does any govern
ment, civil or divine have tho elements of
endurance. But if a government lack
this ability to command the respect of its
subjects tills ability to vindicate its
honor when insulted, who can predict sta
bility to itf What is more pitiable under
heaven than a weak, nerveless, cowardly
government, hailing in its performance,
supplicatory in its posture? We had just
such a weak, nerveless, cowardly govern
ment in our day in this country. Tho
three last month's ol President Bin-han-an's
administration were as weak and
shameful as patriots ever blushed for. Is
there any wonder that all Europe, iu
view of what they saw going ou at Wash
ington iu the winter of lstil, proclaimed
that the great Republic was breaking to
pieces? Europe had seeu these symptoms
of uissolutiou before, and knew w hat they
meant. They were right ; the great Re
public was bieaking up; half the stones
n the majestio structure were sliding
from their places.
The speaker then referred to the 300,000
strong who yielded up their Uvea fighting
under the starry folds of our glorious flag
and their survivors are tho gray haired,
battle-scarred, broken down members of
the G. A. R.
Comrades of tho O. A. R, ! Our ranks
are growing thinner as time marches on.
Our comrades are dropping around us
liko the leaves of autumn ; our ranks are
already sadly thinned. Let us, therefore,
with loving, earnest faith accept Jesns
Christ as our Saviour and friend. And
while we stand on tho shores of the "si
lent river," let us hand down to our sons
and daughters the torch of liberty which
wo.recoived, bright and flaming, that like
a pillar of lire went before us on our
wenry marches, and like a star of hope
shone above us during the storm of battle ;
so that when we shall come to be gathered
t tho dust where our fathors and com
rades are laid, we may say to them, "we
have not squandered your inheritance of
glory."
