leaped forward and with a lightning mo

Tbe Huntingdon Journal of last week,
publithed the following: Oar friend D. M.
Painter, niil spent, between this city and
Cumberland XM., and who also keeps a ho
tel in Hopewell, Btdlord county, feels con
fident that Joe McMeen, the escaped Jun
iata county wile murderer, spent Thursday
night of laat week at bis house. Mr. Pain
ter ears tbe mau came to bis house riding
a colt and appeared to have no particular
destination, not even knowing m what
place he was and we presume, from Mr.
Painter's account of his doiags, not caring
very much. He appeared to be going some
place, but whose he did not know. At the
time of his pres.-nce there Mr. Painter had
not heard of McMeen's escape and on Fri
day after reading of it, tad remembering
the appearance of tho portrait ot McMeen,
published in the Harrisburg Tckgrain last
April, be came to the conclusion that he
had sheltered and entertained the fugitive.
Was it Joe McMeen 1 We are inclined to
think that it was not.

the poor would be taken. After the baskets
bad been passed Mr. Hugh Hamilton arose

in oor country who caunot take care of
themselves must always be cared for, bnt
in certain parts of Texaa their is not sub
stsncefor man or beast. The drought
of two years has been the cause ot want
snd suffering. The Philadelphia Churcnes
he said are moving in their cause, and Mr.
Stuart of that city has issued an appeal for
the people who are in need or suDsisiance.
Mr. A. H. Weidmsn seconded the motion ;
it passed without dissent. The amount
raised was $10.25 which Mr Weidmui im
mediately forwarded to Mr. Stuart and
received an acknowledgement on Monaay.

"What meaneth all this hasty,
8tealthy going to and fro ?"
About 10 o'clock, on Monday forenoon,
November 22, last, a medium seixad, stoop
shouldered mullatto with hair well turned
to gray, with a hasty and apparent stealthy
stride entered town by way of East Point
Before the clock struck 12 qoon, he was
out of town, by the way be came on the
road to his borne near Smith's Mill in Lost
Creek Valley. People that know him stop
ped to look at him and ask tnemselves
'-what's np now T" This lithe old mulatto
is tbe father of Aaron Carter, who then
was away hiding with Joe McMeeo as es
caped jail prisoners and that was reason
ulticiuut to cause people to turn and fol
low him with their eyes open and tboir ears
cocked lor anything that might indicate a
clue to the whereabouts of the adulterous
Aaron snd the murderous Joe. Not long
atler tbe elder Carter left town, a two
horse, three-seated carriage driven by Har
ry Tyson left town and between Est Pont,
and Reno's School House, took in citizens
Albert Hackenberger, Square J. M. Mc
Donald, George Hackenberger, John Leach,
Henry Deem and Wm. Murray. The citi
sens had passed out ot town so unconcern
edly and with such long duUnce between
them, that if seen no sttention was paid to
their going. Tbe carriage waa aoon follow
ed by Esquires K. D. Parker and A. J. Pat
terson. Skillfully as the movement was
executed under tbe guidance of Mr. Parker,
it did not escape tbe lynx eyed officer Sam
Lapp. If Sheriff Fowlea had not already
become acquainted with Parker's movement
Lapp aoon informed him ot it.
tbe caaaiaai.
With exception of oue or two, the occu
pants of the carriage dil not know whre
they were going further than they were on a
mission to capture Aaron Carter and Joe
McMeen. who had escaped from jail one
week from this day. They were not lo ng
iu driving to the farm ol Henry Moist, in
Walker township about four miles from
town. Mr. Moist, made no objection to
their search of his barn, but he expressed
profound surprise when some of the party
talked of a pile of rakiugs in his barn in a
certain place. He could not undersund
how they camu to know so much about
the consents of tbe mows of his ba rn, nev
er having been in it. While the search was
diligently going on, Harry Tyson, who re
mained outside with the two horsecarriage
announced that he could see a man across
the hills -a piece," and that he believed
him to be McMeen. Squire McDonald
ran out of tbe barn to see lhs fleeing man,
but to bis disappointment tbe man in hi
eyes appeared aa a boy with two dogs ahead
of him running. The squire then engaged
in conversation with Mr. Moist, and lrom
the talk, iucidentaily canght a clue that led
to tbe desired result Uie next day. The
search iu the barn was without result fur
ther toau the discovery of a place on a pile
of rakiugs where two peraoua bad lain.
Tbe carriagea returned with their occu
pants lo town, somewhat puzzled over the
failure to" find McMceu in tbe barn. It
was not understood how be cauie to be ab
sent aud no one bat"McTseen fiiiriself can
tell ahy be waa not there at that time. The
management of the company however, con
cluded that Joe, on Monday night would
put iu an appearance at the barn of A brain
Moist, a bail mile from this town. For
thia reason a walch waa placed upon the
barn. Albert Hackenberger, George Hack
eubcrger,. Harry Dell ami Wiu. Hurry, stood
on guard at the barn all night and in the
inoruing, were reiulorced by John Leach
aud Wiliiam McCoy. Tbe night had bec-u
one of first ciass Uarkuess .and tbe men
thought that perhaps McMeen had passed
by them into the building ; tbe conjecture
in their miuds became a sirong belief after
daylight when Mout appeared on the scene
aud iu a loud voice baid Guards on the
property." and wbeu he decliaed to give
lliem )eruiissiuu to search the barn they
elt aa it tDc- could wait in, aud take Joe
from almost auj comer. Ueorge Hockeu

tus movehkkts or the aHEBirr.
Tireless as ttie search ot tbe Sheriff bad
been lor Mcuieen and Carter, bis eagerness
was intensified when be learued of the visit
of tbe father of ;the octoroon, and of tbe
organization of the Parker company, and
wben tbe carriage came in from the Henry
Moist barn he requested 3qum McDonald
to accompany him with olticer Lapp to the
home of Aaron Carter's lather. The night
was one ol" Stygian darkness but tbe drive
to Carter's home waa successfully made.
Tbey spproacbed the house quietly. The
Squire knocked.
"Hark ! Hark ! one knocks,
By and by bis bosom shall partake
The Secrets of my heart."
The elder Carter opened the door, held it
sjr about a foot. The officer, pressed io.
Tbey told him that Henry Moisl's barn had
been searched, and that neither Aaron nor
Joe bad been found, aud that they had
come to look for tbem. He told them that
he had not heard from Aaron since the pre
vious Saturday, bis voice was down to al
most a w bisper, which aroused the suspicion
of the officers. Tbey quietly pressed him,
His definite declaration which he frequent
ly .epoated was, "Tou'li find McMeen over
there, or somewhere there, meaning Moist s
h. or that neighborhood. To a proposal
to search the bouse, he ssid, We we-
Ha ted them np stairs, wuren
in one room. Aaron was found in one of
the three bed.. He smiled wben the om
cer. looked at him and ordered him to go
with them. The Octoroon waa lodged in
jail before daylight on Tuesdsy morning
wiLuaa KsrrraAS s nans.
It w.s afternoon on Tuesday, November
23rd., before the Sheriff was again ready
for the search for McMeen. Squire McDon
ald while at tbe Henry Moist barn the day
before bad learned that William
i-lnnonas a friend of acaieen.
Imparting the information to.Fowls, tho
Sheriff with officer upp, o
snd David Beashore, of Port Royal, drove
to tbe barn ol William K.nffman in Walker
township. Beashorwss without arms Ob

the barn, tbe Sheriff, Mcuona.a, ..." yv
drew tbeir ristola and began tbe search. In
wslking over . .- mow the Sheriff touch
ed an object wtth his foot. He stepped
back, and exclaimed, 'Hon ! there he is!"
And the next m.tt McDonald covered the
T .....
spot with bis pistol. Lapp did the same.
Joe brought bimseir to a sitting posture.
Tbe Sheriff took from a breast pocket in
hi. overcoat a revolver and a razor. He
was lying on his back when found with his
boots off. He peaceably went down and
waa placed in the carriage with McDonald,
Lapp and Beashore, and brought to town
and lodged in tbe same room from wbicb
be escaped., week and a day previous. The
Sheriff came to town with William Kauff
man. WBII TBBT ttCAFID.
On the morning of the I5th nit., after
escaping from tbe jail, they say they
ran down tbe alley, back of the Luth
eran parsanage, thence to the ravine south
of town, and np the ravine to the bouse of
Abrara Moist, where Joe was helped tc a
pair of gum boots and such other article
that tbey stood in need of, thence to Mich
ael Beshor's, thence across the Lost Creek
and Slim Valley ridge, to the Richard's
ssw niiil battlefield, and there in a vacant
bouse filled with hay they remained till
Monday afternoon, wben they called a
Teager's, of which mention was made in
these columns last week. They claim to
know nothing of tbe chickens that were
stolen at Gross', or the bresd that was sto
len st Bell's. On Monday, tbe 15th, they
slept at the Richard bouse. On Tuesday,
and Wednesday nights, tbe 16th, and 17tb
of November, they lodged in tbe barn of
Mr. Margritz, in- Fayette township. On
Thursday and Friday nights tbe 18th
and 19tb, ultimo, they passed at the home
of Aaron's sister, Mrs. George Jones, who
lives nesr Center, Wslker township. On
Saturday night, the 20th, they slept in Hen
ry Moist'a barn. On Sunday night, the
2 1 st, Carter slept at his lather's bonse in
Fayette township, aud Joe slept in Moist',
barn, but left It before daylight on Monday
morning, the 22nd, and went to Adams'
ridge, where he remained all day, and that
i. how the Parker company missed him , he
had left tbe barn ten hours before they
reached it. On Monday nia-ht the octoroon
was captured. That night Joe slept in Wil
liam Kaufi'man's barn, where he was captur
ed on Tuesday afternoon of the 28rd ult.
Wben he waa seen at Teager's h

SESTHEL iffl HLMJCAS,
One dollar a year in advance.
One dollar and fifty cents if not
paid within three weeks after
time of subscription.
Alter the children have learn
ed to read, the greatest educa
tor is the newspaper. Every
man should do justice to his
family by subscribing for a pub
lic journal.
Never in the history of news
papers has the subscrip'ion
price been so low. Subscribe
for the Sexuxel axd Kepcbu
can, it cives nearly twice as
much reading as any one of the
other papers in Juniatat Its re
ports of all important home
news and enterprises is full and
within the period of a year its
variety of reading matter com
prehends within its scope al
most every topic.
You should not be .without a
county paper if it cost you six
or seven dollars a year.
In this day and generation it
amounts almost to a wrong
to one's self and family to deny
themselves the advantage of
a good home paper. There are
more than a thousand and one
things during the passage of a
year that interest and some
times directly benefit us, that
appear in the home paper but
like the rain, sunshine and air,
thr.t we are so familiar with,
we do not appreciate as they
merit.
There are people who do not
take a home paper, but they
are not representative people.
To be sure this is a free coun
try and people can do as they
please so long as they do not
trespass on the rights of their
neighbors, but the man who
does not take his county paper
is like the man who has a place
that he calls home when his de
sires are outside of its doors, his
home is a misnomer.
"It is all right'' if you de
sire a citv parcr to subscribe
for one. or if vou desire to have
one from a half dozen cities, it
is no one's business but vour
own if you pay for them, but
first of all, subscribe for jour
county paper and then look
abroad.
After having subscribed for
the Sentinel and Republican
you are certain in your secure
ment of the county paper that
! gives you a larger quantity and
greater variety of reading mat
ter than is presented by other
journals published in Juniata
county.
As a medium for advertising
the Sentinel and Republican is
number one.
Its job department is not as
complete as the job offices m
Philadelphia or New lork no
more than its newspaper depart
ment is like the department of
a Philadelphia or New York
daily, but the job department is
ample and prices are down to
city prices. V e 11 print you a
nice quarter sheet bill for one
dollar, a half sheet bill lor one
dollar and a half, and a whole
sheet bill for three dollars.
Mention it to your " neighbor
that they may do well to sub
scribe for the Sentinel and Re-
pcbucan, and send one dollar
in advance to pay for one year's
subscription, and- when you
have job printing to do, or de
sire to advertise, or desire to
have sale bills printed send in
the order and it will be executed..
