Rev. Philip Grains lecture.
. Two.
On the evening of the 9ih inst., Rev. Phil
ip (iraif delivered the second of his series
of lectures in the Court House to a large au
dience. Subject, Florence, Venice, and
the Alps." It was a rare treat to people
who desire to learn of the treasures of art
in the palaces of Florenca and of the habits
of people of an Italian city, in which is found
the lifj of the peasaut and the life of the
titled of the land of song and story. He
desctibod Venice so Tividly, tbat hearers
could almost imagine ones self floating
through its three hundred canals in a grand
gondola and see and hear the fair sex gos
sip from tbe windows of the houses across
the narrow watery highways. The founding
of the city in tbe marshes, its commurcial
importance, ita cathedral, its docks and
quays, and its Jdecay were portrayed with
satis! action to all who desire to laira of the
famous city of Veuice. His trip fr jiu tho
level of the sea and the city of canals up to
the snow tipped peaks of the Alps was giv
en in vivid description that evidenced how
impressive is the transition from a busy city
to a highland and mountain top.
Communlcation.
McAlisteevile, March 12, ISSti.
We were all in a hubbub yesterday over
tbe visit of Governor Pattisoo, and three
iriends. While, we were all glad to see hitn
and honor tho Governor as '-the power that
be" we could have enjoyed tbe visit a
great deal more if we could have felt that
it was in facta hearty visit instead of a pry
ing investigation into tha affairs of the Sol
dier's Orphans' School. What went tbe
Governor out to see 7 a reed shaken by tho
wind, by the wind of John Norris, of the
Philadelphia Record. Norris is no barba
rian, he is a dainty, brainy, nice sort of a
man, who has band box palatial office in
the Record building, from which exquisite
ly finished point, be measures all humani
ty, be is a sort of a kid glove measurer of
the every day affairs of the human family.
What else but a sneer and unfavorable crit
icism could bo expectel from snch a sareet
scented idealistic exquisite coming from the
expensive surroundings of a mildoiiire em
ployer to the batbsric plain surround
ings, and pVn fair, and plain clothing of a
Soldier's Orphans' School. With sucu an
idealistic exquisite as Norris for the pjlar
star, it would tako a level headed Governor
to keep from partaking of the criticisms of
the guide. A Governor who lives in a pal
ace, furnished by the state, on a salary of
$10,000 a ye ir, with costly snrronndmgs,
when taken to the plain surroundiiga of a
Soldier's Orphans' School, where tha boys
and girls ai e of such sn age, tbat they would
rather mske mud pies than look at the pic
tures of the Governors of the state, or run
over the beds in their slecpi'ig departments
than walk on the so It carpets of the Execu
tive chambers, must be more of a
common sense man than an exquisite
to catch the true difference be
tween rich surroundings and the plainness
that exists everywhere i:i the eTery day
walks' ot the people. ThJ fathers of the
orphan children lived amidst such surround
ings, they died amidst plain surroundings,
and to measure tho worth by the richness
or plainness of their houses, furniture,
clothing, food, beds and bath tubs, would
be a farce on common sense and merit.
The gint!ea;en of the press that accompan
ied the party of the Governor, waited till
they reached Uarrisburg, from which to
send their highly colored reports of the vis
it to the daily press. Tbe stereotyped re
marks about falling p'a-!t-;r was part of their
report. It is a wonder that they did not ob
ject to plain wbi'e wash and scold because the
wills were not frescoed and hung with pic
tures, r gardless of the fact thit the aver
age boy, under sixteen yea-s of age, would
any tunc rather make a caricature with mud
paint on a parlor wall than sit down and
in admiration look upon the flaest picture
or look upon the frescoed painting. The ster
eotype balh tub objection was a part ol the
report. It is just probabie tbat John Nor
ris is so far removed from barbarian habits
and is such an utterly exquisite that ba has
not yet Icarnedtiic fact tha'J uore than eighty
per cent, of tbe pjopl-; of the Republic d
not bathe th-ir w hole bjd once in a year.
It is Loped that John and the Governor will
not faint when thjy read this troztm fact.
Thi Attorney General Cassidy seems to be
more man of affairs than John. Hs d jss
not measure tha world by ths narrow lim
its of perfumed band bvi surroundings. He
was along by virtue of his office and repre
sented the awful majesty of tha la. The
newspaper men were highly displeased be
cause the management ol th9 school would
not bo sworn and show the bjoks of the con
corn. The common sense of the communi
ty grasped the situation instinctively and de
clare that the management was right in not
showing books and i n refusing to be sworn
in the absence of the proprietor of the
schools. The band serenaded tbe Governor
on the evening before he left for tho rail
road. While the people are pleased that
that the Governor came among them they
are not pleased with the highly colored re
ports of the affairs of the school that were
sent to the daily press by the journalists tbst
accompanied the Governor. We who live
here compare the keeping and surroundings
of the orphans with the keeping and sur
roundings of the average people of the val
lcv and by the comparison the orphans do
not snffer. With Uigbt wo believe that
ninety-tive pur cent'ol the children in tha
schools are better off in the schools than it
they were in tho homes from which they
came, and as a people we are satisfied thst
in no assembly of children or grown peo
ple of the same number is it possible to
keep every one, at ail times, exttnpi iro;a
disease, a certain percentage of sickness
mnst of necessity prevail where ever people
assemble and live in community, and . the
school here has been singularly exempt
from much sickness, which speaks well for
the hygienic management of the school.
FAYETTE.
A Case ofTPoiaoalng.
My Lord ! My God ! Help me I was the
agonizing Cry uttered by Mrs. Nancy Mc
Meen, as she reeled abont in the back yard
of her house, in Port Royal, between seven
and eight o'clock on the morning of the
9th day of March 1886. Mrs. Robert Wal
lace heard the wail of woe, and ran to her
neighbor, Mrs. Oliver, aud told her tbat
something dreadful, must have happened
at McMeen's. Meanwhile the suffering
woman found her way fo the house, and
sent her eight-year-old son for a doctor.
Doctor Shelly, and a number of neighbor
women arriv id at the house about one
time. Mrs. McMeen was then in a state of
rigorons convulsion. There was a relax
ation of convulsion tor a moment, during
which, it seemed as if the unfortunate wom
an desired to speak. If such was her de
sire she failed to utter a word, and in tbe
next convulsion expired. It was a shocking
scene, and created an intense excitement
in tbe little circle of neighbors that bad as
sembled. What could the matter be ? was
asked by every one. After tbo awe of
death had thrown its stillness over tbe as
sembly of startled neighbors, some one no
ticed in an adjoiniug room on a table, a tin
pie-plate with two table-spoons, in each of
w hich, was some jelly and a whitish sub
stance, a tea spoon, and a barlow knife al
so lay in tbe plate, small specks of a white
powder lay scattered in spots on tbe piste.
A suspicion that shocked every one present
instinctively took possession of the mind.
Poison ! poison! wispered the peeple. JMrs.
McMeen has died from the effect of a dose
of poison adminiatered by herself, was the
opinion expressed. But whence came tbe
poison I The suspicion had become an ex
pression, and tho whole town became ex
cited. A paper with some white powder
was found in the room, it was a horse and
cattle powder advertisement paper, with
the card of tbe Patterson drug store print
ed on it. Drs. Shelly and Graham, pro
nounced the white substance in tho spoons,
on the plate, and in the paper la be strych
nine. As the day wore away an investiga
tion was instituted. Squire Joseph Slim,
uiel summoned a jury, consisting of W. T.
McCulioch, R. M. Sterrett, J. P. Johnson,
S. E. Ard, P. M. Kepner, Jacob Uroninger,
an inquest was held, which revealed the
fact, that J. W. McMeen. husband of the
deceased, bad bought strychnino at the
Patterson drug store, the day previous.
McMeen was not at home when the ca
lamity overtook his house- The day pre
vious, Monday, March 8, ha bad come to
this place Mi.'llintown abont noon, called
on Mr. Murray, of the National Hotel, and
askel bim to take him to Daniel Sieber",
sale, in Fermanagh township, where ha ex
pected to meet a man who owed bim Mc
Meen a no$ of $10, on which Murray was
bail. They went to the sale, McMeen saw
the man who o ved the note, received six
dollars on tbe paper and released Murray
as bail. They came to this place and Mc
Meen took the 0 13 traiu P, M , east, and
went to Harrisburg, whi-re he was
informed of the death of bis wile
on the 9'h. Ho came to Port Royal
on the evening of that day, and when a
post mortem examination of his wife was
spoken of, he discouraged it, he expressed
the belief that his wife ,h id taken poison,
from what h i.l been told him ot the sur
roundings. He said hs had bought s'rych
nine in the Patterson drug store on the
previous Wednesday, he had brought it
home, himself, had put it in a box where
there were other medicines : quinine, salt
peter, assaficfida, he had told bis wife to
be careful about tbe medicine. On tLe 10;h
a post mortem examination was hold by
doctors, Shelly, Graham, B :uks and Craw
ford. On Thursday, ihe 11th, the funeral
of Mrs. McMeen took place. The remains
were liken to the Seceder grave-yard, ad
joining the Michael Sieber f irm, in Walker
township. On the return of McMeen to
Port Royal, he waa arrested by Constable
Heid, on information given before Justice
Joseph Stmimel, by A. J. and George C
Funk, brothers of the deceased wile. He
was charged with being an accessory to
tbe death of his wife by a d ose of strych
nine, g'ncn to Ler in some unknown way.
Heid delivered the prisoner to Sheriff
Fowles and Constable Rollman, w ho brought
hiu to this place before Justice McDonald,
who sent him to jail. Mrs. McMeen was a
widow of Tyson Moist, doccascd, whi was
kiib'd on the raiiroid, s.mo years ago, by
being knocked off a Ireiht car while in tha
discharge of bis duty as brakeman. Slits
had one child by her first husbsud, the bov
ho ran for the doctnr in the hour of the
distress of hjs unther. She had a child
about seven months old to McMoen. Mrs.
Funk, tho mother of tho deceased, was in
Patterson, at the time of thrj death o!" her
daughter. Mr. Johnson, of Port Poysl,
broughther to her daughter's house, but
did not tell her of Der death, and so great
was the shock to the ol 1 lady, wlion she
learned tho niitirunly end of the life of
Mrs. McMjen, that she fell sick anil her life
has hung by a slender thread ever since.
Nothing has taken place in Juniata Co.,
within the period of the life of the present
generation, that has so wrought upon the
mind of the people and brought out such
an universal condemn itio:i of Ihi prisoner.
Tho expression, "He should he hung!" is
beard on every side, and some m:n bivc
gone so far os to declare in lavor of lynch
ing him. Instead of acting nndcr tho dec
laration of tho la, that a man is prtnmtd
to be naoctnt till he ha been jiroeiu guilty,"
three persons in every four that on? meets
givo utterance to such expressions, that
the prisoner is guilty unless he can prove
himself innocent. Without proof, be is
charged by tbe public with having poisoned
two female relative previous to the poison
ing of his wife, be is charged with secret
amours and then to temovd tha evidence
of indulgence in forbidden pleasures, pro
posed the taking of powders that are said
to have been poison. Tbe wildest kind of
talk against him. is indulged in, aud if a
very minute part of it is true he should suf
fer the penalty, for society in justico to
sell must protect itself against the depraved
man. But people must not be" condemned
on hearsay, no man, 00 woman is sa'e in
the possession ot either life or property, if
hearsay or street or highway talk, is to be
urged against them, and all good citizens
owe it to themselves to not condemn a man
to death or infamy npon hearsay evidence,
or street talk. The brothers of McMeen's
wife have brought the charge against him
