TOL L MI KDER.
Tb awful bulchxry of James Car
penter, the industrious and prosper
ous dealer in batter and eggs and
chickens and so forth in his place of
business in Port Royal on Sun!.ty
evening, December 10th, 1803, with
the finding of thi body in Tuscarora
creek, wher it empties its water in
to the Juniata river, has horrified the
comojunity beyoud anything that has
ever taken place within the limits of
Juniata county.
It vas a butchery th.it could only
find g'rm in the mind and heart of
one of S.ttan's own, to go into the
bu-iDeK place of Carpeuter, on that
quiet Curistiau Sabbath evening, in
a town uottd for its large churches
and lara conurbations and there
strike down a blind man with a club
and then t!irust a knife through his
throat, again and again twisting the
knife around till the wouud wa al
most !art;e enough to adroit of the
entrance of a band into the cavity,
and thea when the deed was done,
patiently wait till near the small
Lour of the night, to take the dead
man away, was the work of a fiend in
huimu form.
The murderer knew that his victim
was saf-3 from the gaze of the out
side world that Sunday evening.
The murdered man was in the con
finement of his own business place
wheie it could lie in safety under lock
and k-y till tho next dat when the
business place should put on its every
week day habits, then the awful
secret of tha place must be given up.
Had a stranger to the plac-j commu
te 1 th-sdoad he would not have locked
the place and then gone back into
the jsrd and dropped the murdered
mill's keys into the watercloset.
What an awful scene that must
have bien after the town had settled
down to the quiet of midnight, for the
fiend who committed the deed, to go
to the Rannels proparty, and there
take a boy's sled, and stealthily glide
back to the 6hop, stand, look, and
libten, and then unlock the door drag
out the body, place it on the boys
sled and start with it for Tuscarora
creek, to drop it into that watery
resting place, believing that the
stream wnuM never giro up its awful
secret. The nervous strain of such
a job would crush any man but a
fimd, and the man who could pass
through the work of handing his
murdend victim through street and
alley of the town almost a quarter of
mile to covor the crime by throw
ing the body into the creek will face
any'accusation that is brought against
him, and the fiend who hauled Car
penter's dead body to the creek that
Sunday night, could stand and look
on unmoved when the grappling
hooks of Shotsberger and Willi
brought the secret of the disappear
ance of Carpenter to the light of day
and showed to the world how he had
been murdered.
Who committed the murder?
The victim of this foul murder
came to Port Royal, some five or six
years ago and began business as a
dealer in eggs, chickens and so forth.
Some of the citizens, said, that
man is blind, he can't support him
self and wifo and son, he'll become
a borough charge and the well to do
people of the place, who do take
care of themselves will have to tax
themselves to keep he and his, and
tnoy brought an action to have him
moved from the borough. Carpenter
made a defense and proved that was
abundantly able to make a bring for
himself and all that he claimed to be
dependent on him. Since then he
has been a citizen in first rate stand
ing and had up to the time of his
murder accumulated the anug sum
of almost two thousand dollars.
Was the murderer after that mon
ey? He and his wife who claims to
have been a Miss Hettie Barton
were married some twenty years ago,
but of that time, it is said, they were
separated thirteen years, drifting
hither and thither, it does not ap
pear just where, and their life work,
previous to coming to Port Royal is
not revealed. Philadelphia, Lancas
ter, Cincinnati, and other places are
mentioned as former homes of theirs
and the young man James, who is
in jail, on the charge of having mur
dered the elder Carpenter, is re
reported to have led a wild and
wandering life a number of years.
Rumor has it, that he is not the
son, of either the murdered man, or
the Mrs. Carpenter who is in jail as
an accessory to the murder now un
der investigation It is reported
that Mrs. Carpanter, previous to her
am st, and before the botly of her
husband had been found in the creek
spoke of people who disippaared,
having been murdered and concealed
in streams of water and in connec
tion with such conversation spoke of
the long lost Charley Ross, and said
Charlie R ss was not drowned, and
that her Jimmii is just the age of
Charlie Ross. From such remarks.
tho rumor has arisen, that perhaps,
the woman and the young man in
jail are not mother and son, but that
the young man, for all thit any other
person but Mrs. Carpenter knows,
may be the long lost and much
searched for Charlie Ross.
Years ago when the Cuirlie Ross
theft was still thought of a woman
with a boy appeared in Patterson
and was about the town a day and
a night and people who then knew of
her presence there talked about the
Charlie Ross mystery, but before
they took action in the matter, she
disKipeid as mysteriously as he had
come. It is hardly probable that,
that woman, and the Mrs. CarpeDter
in jail, are one aud the same woman
who was then looking for a quiet
place to sojourn a J while, and from
that flying visit cams to see'ect Port
Royal as their home.
Mrs. Carpenter kaows, whether
Jiuiniie Ctrpeuter, now in jail on a
charge of having murdered he hus
band, is her own son.
When the Sknti.skl asd Repiblicah
closed its forms on the morning of
the 13th, the body of the murdered
man was in charge of Coroner, Sq lire
Q W Wilson, and his jury conniat
ing of Jacob Groninger, Charles
McCormick, W. C. Coxey, T. J. Oves,
W. H. McN'itt, and Elliott Groning
en in the office of Squire J S. Stim
mell, in Port Royal. Charles Willi,
Eli Shotzbergsr, Geo. Buyer, and N.
K. Johnson were examined as to the
finding of the body in the creek.
Dr. A. W. Shflly, testified as to an
examination of the body of the mur
dered man.
Hi) stid the throat of Mr. Carpen
ter was cut from ear to ear, the wind
pipe and all the arteries ware cut off,
the ligaments of the spinal column
was partly aeverod. Only a small

moned, but the inquest adjourned to
meet at 8.30, a. m , on Wednesday
morning and committed James Car
penter Jr., to jail in default of $500
to appear as a witness at that hour.

sation took place between 4 and 5
o'clock on Monday evening
bamuel Lapp sworn. After the Dis
trict Attorney informed be wanted
the clothes James had on. Iaccomp
panK'd him up stairs. He got down a
pair of pants, pulled off his coat and
vest, stood up at the stand in the
other room. He said Sheriff Linn
I will just go over in the other room.
He then had his shoes off, ail but his
pants, I went with him, he said I
don't know what I did with those
pants. He then moved around from
the outer room into the room which
he called his own. There, I saw his
pants lying on the stand and I said
Jimmie here are your pants, and I
handed them to him. He took them
in his right hand, he emptied his
pockets in a swaying manner, he took
his trousers in bis left hand, then he
fumbled about the fob pocket, then
he stepped into the other room to
take off the trousers, all the time
working with his trousers, in the lo-
il i , . ....
cauiy oi mo 100 pocKet mere was
a loose piece of oil cloth, he was
lr t i . . .
woraing wun ma leer, at the same
time dropping his trousers. As soon
as he stepped out of his pants I
reached down and got the trousers
with one hand and straightened out
the pocket with the other, to see if
there was anything under it, and I
felt something that appeared to be in
the watch fob of his trousers. I
reached in the fob and pulled out the
watch, with the chain wrapped around
it. I turned about and said, Jimmie
mere is your father s watch, yea said
he, he made me a present of it two
weeks ago, after Jimmie was dressed
wa went down stairs and I said to
Mrs. Carpenter, would you know
Mr. Carpenter'swalch if you would
see it! She said, yes, I then f aid,
producing the watch taken from
Jimmie, is this it? she said let me see
it. Mr. Neely said,is that Mr, Car
penter's watch? she said, indeed, I
really cannot tell, and turned to Jim
mie and said, is that your father s
watch? he said it was, his father's
watch but they had exchanged a week
ago, Rev. J. K. Loyd, D. G. Alter,
and myelf had a conversation with
Jimmie. Mr. Loyd told him the
people were clamoring for his arrest,
that tbey blamed him for murdering
his father, Jimmie said he did not
murder bis father, had nothing to do
with it. I then asked him whether it
was true then he said that if tbey
could find the man who had his fath
er's watch that he was the man who
had murdered him He taid he did
n.t say it. Someone asked him what
kind of a w atcb lie had given his father,
and he said a gold watch, I said, Jim
mie, thty say yon have a silver watch
He then said he pnt that watch in
pawn in Philadelphia and got a gold
one for it. He furthei said be
bought this silver watch and chain
from Mr. Pettit in Port Royal.
When the Coroner's jury closed its
work on Wednesday it had a mass
of testimony upon which it rendered
this verdict:
" That James Carpenter came lo his
death through his son James Carpenter
by means of a blunt instrument. Also
that Sirs. Carpenter wife of the murder
ed man wis implicated."
The accused son was brought to
town by Sheriff Lapp, and deputy A.
IS. .brans, and lodged in jail on ed
nesday evening to ans ver the charge.
1 here is blood on his clothes and on
his new shoes which he says is chicken
and turkey blood, ue denies having
killed his father.
No blunt instrument up to Wed
nesday evening had been found.
On Thursday afternoon a search
warrant was gotten out to search
the Carpenter premises, which re'
suited in finding a club two feet long,
and about one and a half inches
thick, with the bark on, except where
hands grasp it. It is an ugly looking
bludgeon when thought of in con
nection with the murder in which it
was made to play a part, it is almost
as heavy as a club of that size of
lignumvite wood, it was found unde
a maDger in the shop. The end of
the club that had felled the old, in
dustrious, well to do Mr. Carpenter,
and gashed and bruised his head and
broke his face was stained with blood,
and so fierce had been the blows de
livered on the old man's head that
fragments of bark were broken off
and dotted in places the head of the
murdered man. Hair adhered to the
club, and there are feathers here and
there on it that were fastened there
by the drying of the blood when it
lay under the manger. The check
punch that tho murdered blind man
used to punch his bank checks so that
he could indentify them by feeling
the punch holes, and thereby re-jog-nise
the checks to be genuine was
found far under the floor of the shop
awav from crack or hole through
which it could have dropped. Thus
giving its own mute testimony that
it had been thrown under the floor
by the bands that bad first used the
club, and afterwards used the knife
to cut the throat of bis victim. The
peculiarity of tho cutting of the
throat of the unfortunate man, is
that it was done in about the man
ner that the throats of chickens and
calves are cut when tbey are killed
for market, by throating the knife
through without cutting out the
front or back of the neck.
The sled on which tho victim was
hauled from the shop to the creek on
that quiet Sabbath evening, belong
ing to Oscar Rannels and was taken
from the Rannels property near the
railroad, and after its bloody mission
was left standing, smeared with blood
and human hair, near the Presbyter
ian church.
While the search was going on, on
the premises the funeral took place.
The services were conducted by Rtv.
Mr. Campbell of the Presbyterian
chnreh, of Purt Roval.
The body was placed ic its last
earthly resting placa in Church Hill
cemetrey, and while many shuddered
at the awful end that had overtaken
Mr. Carpenter, they reflected that
his end wad a thousand times pre
ferable, to a life stained and eternally
darned with his murder.
John Leidy, constable, with Wm.
Bender, and John Glace were placed
in the house of the murdered man to
guard Mrs. Carpenter on Thursday
night.
On Friday at 10 a. m. Mrs. Car
penter was brought to this town and
loped in the jail, to answer in accord
ance with the verdict of the Corner's
jury. When she was put in ber cell
she knelt and prayed. Meanwhile
search on the property was resumed.
The house was searched twice before,
and this the third time a pocket book
was found in a trunk that had been
searched previously. It was the dead
man's pocket book and how it got
into the trunk between the first and
third search has not been explained.
The watercloset between the dwelling-
house and shop was searched and gave
up its important testimony in the form
of keys to the shop tbatthe murdered
man carried on bis person. Some
blood stained rags were gotten out
of the same place.
On Saturday the search was again
caried into the ahop and resulted in
the finding of the murdered man s
cane under straw, under the manger
where the club had been found.
Rebecca Wilkinson, of Browns
valley, Ind., says: "I have been in a
distressed condition for three years
from Nervousness, Weakness of the
Stomoche, Dyspepsia, and Indiges
tion until my health was gone. I
had been doctoring constantly with
no relief. I bought one bottle of
South American Nervine which done
me more good than any $50 worth of
doctoring I ever did in my life. I
would advise every weakly person to
use this valuable and lovely remedy;
A few bottles of it has cured me
completely. I consider it the grand

Winter Teuri Tla PcsiBsy lra-
nla Railroad-
The final arrangements are now
made by the Tourist Bureau of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
the running of its personally conduc
ted tours for the coming season.
First and foremost in point of mag
nitude and attractiveness come those
to California and Florida, The dates
for the former are January 31st and
February 22nd. The first date has
been selected so that en route to the
glorious westernmost State of the
Union the Mardi Gras festivities at
Ne x Orleans may be enjoyed by the
tourists. California will command
usual attention this winter by reason
of the Mid winter Exposition to be
held at SanFrancisco. This exhi
bition promises almost to rival the
late World s Fair in completeness.
Many Eastern people have already
decided to attend.
Florida, always a popular haven
still justly asserts its claim as the
most delightful part of our country
in which to pass the inclement
months of the year. Five tours will
be run there, January 30th, Febru
ary 13, February 27th, March 13th,
and March 27th, have been chosen
as the starting dates. $59 from New
York, $18 from Philadelphia, and an
equally low rate from other points
will cover all expenses en route.
Old Point Comfort appeals strong
ly to those not caring to journey
further from home, and on Decem
bem 26th this historic spot will be
visited by a special tour. Last come
the tours to Washington, D. C, on
December 14th and 28th, January
18th, February 8tb, March 1st and
22d, April 12th, and May 3d and
24th.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's guarantee that thorough and
satisfactory methods will be pur
sued in conducting these trips needs
no additional testimonial.
Lewistown papers on Sunday
morning December 10th. The peo
of Allenville, Mifflin county, were
starllod by hearing a heavy blast,
that sounded very much like thunder,
but it was the thunder of two burgr
l?rs bureting open William Huey's
safe. They knocked the handle Vff
and poured in the powder a very
heavy charge which blew the door
of the safe clear across the room,
damaging whatever it tonched. One
piece struek the oiling and other
fragments flew in every direction.
They only Becured about one dollar
in silver, a few papers, three checks
and a box of sil't hnndkerchidfs. The
alarm wai soon raised and a nurab.-r
of people gathered at the place. The
thieves escaped. , On the

unconscious condition. His wife
was seized with vomiting and soon
fainted away. Between spells of
faiuting and vomiting neither one
could call for assistance or leave the
room until 9 a. m. A very narrow
eecapo. Some party or
parties unknown entered the yard of
Charles Brinor, at the Junction
Hotel, the other night and cut off the
heads of seventeen chickens and left
the same there as relics of their dar
tardly work. It's a pity such con
temptible scoundrels cannot be
placed where they belong.
Harriet E. Hall of Waynetown,
Ind., says: "I owe iny life to the
great South American Nervine. I
had been in bed for five months from
the effects of an exhausted Stomach,
Indigestion, Nervous prostration and
a general shattered condition of my
whole system. Had given up ail
