Murder and Suicide.
On Tueaday of this week, Dec. sth. 1503,
Bntler county was the scene of the worst
tracedv that has occured within its limits
since the killing of the Wigton family by
the Indian Mohawk, fifty year- ago.
Ilarper Whitmire, a son of Frank Whit
mire, dec'd., killed his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Christina Xordheim (or Hasslcr) whose
place is near St. Joe Station, on the line
between Oakland and Donegal twp?; her
daughter Mrs. Mart in,lately married and yet
living at home; acd then himself.
The events immediately preceding the
murders and suicide are aoout as follows:
Ilarper Whitmire, whose wife, a daughter
of Mrs. Xordheim. died about two years
ago, placed his children in a charitable in
stitntion and left the county. He return
ed a few da>s ago and went to the homo ol
bis mother-in-law, Mrs. Xordheim, whose
farm was and is an oil farm.
He was needing money, no doubt, was
begging her for more money, though his
wile had received, during her life time,
what was considered her full share of the
estate.
On the morning of the sth he, Mrs.
Xordheim and Mrs. Martin where the only
persons in the house, —Louis Xordheim
the son, being at the oil well on the farm
some distance from the house. Harper
seems to have determined to help himself
to the money he believed to be locked up
in the trunk in Mrs. Xordheim's room
Mrs. Xordheim arose early and went ont
to feed the stock. Harper got up, and
whether because the young woman was
awake and discovered his purpose or from
premeditation; he went to her bed and
beat her over the head with a double bar.
relied shotgun as she lay in bed, and then
nearly severed her head from her body
with a sharp razor. The gun was broken
in two by his assault upon her.
Then he went down stairs, and meeting
the old lady as she came in he picked up
a poker and beat her over the head until
she fell upon the floor ot the kitchen, and
he continued tbe assault until her head
was beaten almost to a jelly.
Then he got a hatchet, went up stairs
and broke open the trunk, and took what
money was in it, and left tbe scene ot his
horrible work.
He first went to Linas C. Martin's about
4 miles distant and there secured (about 7
o'clock) a horso which he rode to bis broth
er Samuel's, from whom he tried to bor
row a pistol with which to kill himself,
saying that he bad killed two parties and
wished.to kill himself. But his brother would
not give him the pistol, Linas rode over
to Samuel's with bim and he there engaged
Linas to meet him at noon at Samuel's
ffitb a rig. Then he started over the bill
toward John Calvin Whitmire's, and Sam
uel went to Boydstown and consulted Peter
Whitmire and Graham Campbell as to
what should be done in the matter. Lcuis,
Daniel and bamueJ, brothers of Harper,
with Peter, then followed Harper over the
bill and up the run, in which he had wad
ed, and back the John Calvin's, where
they found him sitting by the fire, they
induced bim to go with them to Samuel's
tor dinner; and Peter went away to get a
warrant. At noon two rigs were seen
coming toward tbe bouse, and Harper
feared arrest and said he would not be
taken alive, so be ran out to the barn, gave
his son Sid, who lives at Samuel's, some
money, went back to Calviu's. secured a
razor he had left there, walked out and
around a hill to a small grass plot, and sat
down and cut bis throat—hacked it six
times with the same razor he used on Mrs.
Martin and tbe edge ol which had been
badly twisted aud nicked. When bis
brothers came up to bim he was dying,
and they got bim a wagon and hauled him
back to Samuels,from where he was buried
in tbe Whitmire private burying ground
next day.
Word of the murder had been sent to
Butler early that morning, and officer* bad
gone oat to arrest Harper, but they found
him dead.
Louis Nordheim, the son, was the first
to discover the murders. When he came
in from his work on the wellf about 8
o'clock, he lound bis mother lying dying,
upon the kitchen floor, and his sister dead
in bed. Harper was gone and Loais real
ized that he was the culprit, and notified
his neighbors of the affair.
Mrs. Nordheim was a daughter oP Dr.
Uasler. dec'd, who at one time lived at or
near Hannabstown. She married
Nordheim and lived with bim nntil be
made a murderous assault upon bBT father,
for which he was sent to the penitentiary,
she then secured a divorce and resumed
her maiden name of Hauler. Her farm
produced a great deal of oil and she was
considered wealthy. She was the mother
of three girls, one ol whom was married
to Whitmire, one to Henry Leidecker of
Butler and the yonngest one to James
Martin. Her only son, Louis, lived at
home with her and attended to the stock
and well yet producing.
Harper Wbitniire and the eldest daugh
ter w«re married some 15 yearn ago. He
bought the Dick McCandless farm in Cen
tre iwp. borrowing part of the money from
bis mother in-law and giving her a mort
gage. Then he induced her to cancel the
mortgage and give bim money.and among
them they put the farm in the name of bis
* ife, as ber full share of the estate. This
deed was not recorded until the end of the
six months and in the meantime Harper
borrowed money from several persons, by
representing himself as the owner of the
farm, and when the deed to his wife was
recorded, and trouble came to him, he aud
bis wife came to Mutlerand borrowed mon
ey to get bim oat of trouble. This was
three or four years ago and was about the
tune that the young man who went by the
name of Howard Whitmire was sent to the
workhouse for forgery, where be died
Two jears ago, Harper's wife died under
suspicious circumstances. Hut little was
said about it, yet he was supposed 10 have
caused her death by bearing her. He took
bis childreu to Nordheim's and went away,
came back and put them in charitable
schools and went away again. Ho was at
Erie until a few days ago, when be again
came to Nordheim's, and this terrible trag
edy has followed.
Mrs Nordheim's nkull was so badly in
jured that the doctors could do nothing for
her aud «he died Wednesday scorning.
She and her daughter will be buried
Saturday.

Mr, Lincoln i.< described as "a worthy
succc-s >r of Artemus Ward, equal if not
superior to that funniest of funny men in
many respects, and he kept his hearers
convulsed with laughter from the opening
ol the performance. His mimicry is simply
wonderfal. . . St, Louis never listened
to a more refined humorist than Frank

Prof. DaMotta is said to bo the most en
tertaining scientific lecturer on the Ameri

valuable information comes along with the

Oil Notes.
The Philadelphia Co. of Pittsburg struck
a giuher in Ohio twp., Allegheny county,
about two miles norm of Sewickly last
week. It is on the Grubbs farm, and it
started of at 50 bbls. an hour. Drilling
was stopped and the well declined next
day, but Monday it was agitated and did
80 bbls. an hour. The Wilson farm of 70
acres adjoining the Grubbs was leased to
the Galley Bros, who paid a bonus of
$3,000.
The Gazette says: "The Grubbs well
ha* been wor>e than a Chinese puzzle tor
the most experienced operator. Two
wneks ago at a depth of 1.945 feet the aaud
was struck, wben the well began to gas
and oil, snowing a rock pressure of
800 pounds. It was co neo.ed np and
continued to spray for two days aud then
quit, and on a test showed the gas pressure
had almost entirely disappeared. It was
theu decided to drill it in, anu on last
Wednesday afternoon the t«ols were run
for a few minutes, when it began to flow
at the rate of 50 barrells an hour, and in the
next five hours averaged 40 barrels aud
then subsided and did nothing more than
spray lightly. It was drilled a little on
Friday, aud while the tools were in motion
flowed freely, but would stop almost as
soon as drilling was suspended Satnrd y
forenoon it was drilled for a short time and
in the following tbiee hours, ending at 1
o'clock, had produced 75 barrels. It was
then drilled again and a second pay was
encountered, aud for the hour that follow*
ed produced 50 barrels, and was holding
up at that speed at 4 o'clock, wben last
heard from. There is a diflereuco of
opinion as to what sand formation is pro
ducing the oil Some operators claim it is
the Brush creek sand, which is the boulder
formation overlying the third sand. Others,
equally well informed, insist it is the third
sand proper, or the regular Wild wood
formation, designated south of tho Ohio
river as the Gordon sand.

MB. G. W. MILLER, Butler, Pa.
DEAR SIR: W e have yours of Noyember
30th and note your order for another car of
Star salt, which will have our prompt at
tention. In Star salt you have something
which in point of purity is not excelled by
any Common Fine salt in the market and
the constant comparison of same with iu
ferior grades of salt must surely convince
your trade of the superiority of our salt
Aside from its purity, it has such a fine
grain that it can be used as a general salt
for all purposes. Yours respectfully.
THE UNITKIJ SALT COMPAHV.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES
! The great tri-state I'enns) lvania, Ohio
! and West Virginia cock tight in Ross twp.
Allegheny county, on Wednesday night of
last week, was brought to an unexpected
close by the appearance of several officers
of the Anti-cruelty Society accompanied
by several local constables. Three hundred
men were arrested and forty roosters cap
tured. One spectator shot another, in the
dark, in mistake for an officer.
There was plenty of water in the rivers
last week, and on Wednesday ten of the
twenty-three million bushels of coal lying
in the Monongahela started down the Ohio.
I Fourteen model barges loaded with steel
rails were also started.
At the State College, a few days ago, a
member ot the junior class, was taken from
his room in the main dormitory
by a crowd of ma»ked students. They
took bim to a neighboring wood and beat
him until he was insensible. He lay where
he was left by bis assailants until ho was
f >und by workmen about 6 o'clock. His
condition is serious. The cause for the
as>ault is said to be the reporting ot two
oidets to the commandant for disorderly
conduct in their room.
The Allegheny Valley ticket office at
Red Bank "was robbed at 4 o'clock last Fri
dav morning by three marked men. They
secure I only ab< ut sl2. Agent Slagle, tue
night trackman, and a boy were at the
station While the third man stood guard
over the trackman and boy, the two enter
ed tUu station and demanded the company's
money; patting revolvers to Slagles face.
He refused to deliver the keys. They
then brought the boy iu and compelled
him to open the money drawer. The rob
bers noticed Slagle 's diamond ring and
gold watch, but 6aid they wanted noth
ing but the money belonging to the rail
road.
Detectives Brown and Marshall, of Law
rence county, arrested Harrison Pisor, who
lives near KDOU, fur beimr implicated in
the Williamson robbery. Pisor is a
brother-in-law of Harry Millison and it
was learned that Millison and Rutter had
been at his house on the Thursday evening
preceding the robbery. It was also learn
ed that Pisor had workod for Mrs. William
son and knew all about the arrangement of
the house, the members of the family and
the possible chance of securing money.
This information it is claimed, was im
parted to Millison and Kutter, and makes
Pisor an accessory to the crime. After
making the arrest the prisoner was taken
before 'Squire Sbanor and given a hearing.
Mrs. W illiamson said that Pisor had work
ed for her and while doing duty in that
capacity had a good opportunity to be
come acquainted with the surroundings.
In taking up the floor of an old dilapi
dated bouse on the farm ol Dr. IJailey, of
Gap, Lancaster county, a few days ago,
workmen uncovered an old fashioned iron
pot containing $2,G00 in gold and silver
coin and three sets of silver spoons with
the initial "C " upon them. The money is
supposed to have been put there over a
century ago by a family named Chamber
lain, who lived on the property.
Mrs. Helen Warne, of Zanesville, 0. a
lady of about fifty years of age visited
Bearer Falls one day last week in search
of her two runaway daughters. The girls
had been employed in a restarant, in Zanas
yille and about two weeks ago ran away in
company with two colored barbers named
Simpson, who had been running a barb er
shop in the same building in which the
restaurant was located. It seems the girls
had been promised a position in Beaver Falls
by their friends ot color at much better
wages than they had been getting at the
restaurant. Be that as it may they cam* to
Beaver Falls. As soon as the mother
learned of their departure, Hhe immediately
gave chase and on her arrival procured the
services of an officer and proceeded to the
home of the Simpson barbers where she
found one of her daughters, the other hav
ing procured a situation in Xsw Brighton.

Grieb & Lamb display in their
window an A. B. Chase Piano, one
of the makes wbicb gained the VE&Y
HIGHEST AWARD obtainable given at
the World's Fair. To obtain sncb
an honor a piano mnst surely be per
fection, since none otherß but those
of the very best make, such as the
celebrated Chickering of Boston, the
rtehr Bros, of New York, &c , were
accorded the same honors. Orieb &
Lamb have for years sold and con,
stantly kept in stock three makes of
pianos, also two of organs, which re
ceived the highest awards, something
that even no Pittsburg dealer can
boast of. Their object is not to get
a large profit, but to gain the confi
dence of their customers and furnish
such goods that will always give sat
isfaction. The above facts demon
strate the earnestness of purpose. We
are in position to furnish most any
make of instruments at the very low
est cash prices, as we are not sub
agents, but "general agents" for all
goods we handle, controling many
counties, thereby saving you the mid

RUPTURE
Cannot always be cured, but ;
properly fitting Truss will d<
more toward curing you than any
thing else. A small rupture is
more dangerous than a la ge on<
but is more readily held in place
Quite a number of persons whe
have been fitted by us have beer
entirely cured, but this is not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit us after finding
they are ruptured the more hope
of a complete cure. We make a
specialty of Trusses for both
ladies and gentlemen, and give di
rections for private measurement
for the former. Al! cases consid
ered strictly private. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person
who says he can cure you is on a
paralell with the number of cures
there are for consumption. If you
have had trouble in being fitted
elesewhere let us try what we can
do for you.
