A NEW HOTEL AND AS' OLD LANDLOBE.—
Evebrbody who, has had occasion.to stop at
a hotel in Welleboro during the past year or
two has heard of Sol Bunnel. And every
body who is acquainted with Bunnel is
aware that he knows how to keep a hotel as
Weil as thereat man and a great deal better
than most men.. It is because we are our
selves Well assured of his proficiency in that
line, by many months, continuous experi
ence, that- we feel peculiar satisfaction in
chronicling the fact that he has at last be
comethe lteeper of the -hotel known up ;to
this tiriie tis the Cone Hous'e, but hereafter
to Lbe called the Bunnel House. That
house should have been always a credit to
the place, but from the manner in which it
has been kept •it has not been, and we are
glad that it has at last fallen into efficient
hands which can and will make it what it
should be—a first-class, hotel. i
Mr. Bunnel takes possession.of the house
under such a faverable arrangement that he
is enabled at once to make many needed re
pairs sand improvements in it; and for t e
past week the workmen have been busy g t
ting things to tights. When they get throw h
the house Will be completely finished, in
thorough repair, and a model of neatn s
And attractiveness. As for the table, every.
body. knows that Bunnel is an eXcellent ca
terer and a generous provider. He has en
tered Lthe new hotel to stay for years, and
i t w ill be for his interest, as we know it will
be his pleasure, to make it the best hotel ever
kept in Tioga 'county. We hope he may
find indeased reputation and profit there,
and, we .heftrtly • commend the Bunnel
House to the favor of the traveling public.
EXT)SNSIVE FIRE AT BLossatTan.—A fire
broke out in Blossburg last Thursday morning
which resulted in the destruction of nearly
the whole blisine . ss part of the village. It is
believed to have been the - work of an incen
diary. A report in the Elmira Gazette says:
"The best verified statement that can be
gained is that at about half-past two in the
morning, Mr. Linus Jennings and John
Wilcox, living with their families in the
upper part of the stores occupied by May
Silverman and the building adjoining, no
ticed a strong smell of smoke in their lipart
. ments, coming apparently from the store of
N. &S. Their rooms began to fill with
smoke, and they ran down stairs and gave
the alarm. In the meantime they were
joined by.-:ls'sac Smith, S. Gaylord, James
and Mr . . Armstrong. 'The store ayes
fastened tiny no response from within was
beard to calls from the outside. Gaylord
kicked the door in, and says the clerk was up,
dresed and walking about.. Gaylord and
the others then gained an entrance to the,
cellar' from the outside through a hatchway
which was open, and discovered a lire among
sonic barrels, which could have been put out
with a pail of water.
"While engaged bi - -putting this fire out
Farr and others called out from the outside,
- For God's sake come out;, the building is all
on fire.' When be 'came out the fire .was
ereaking thiough the roof, hut had no con
nection whatever smith the fire to the cellar.
v , e' The weather waa intensely cold, the
thermometer being 21 degrees below zero,
mi l d the engine froze, up as soon as the water
was ler. into it. The fire by this time, was
raging with terrible fury, licking up build
, ing,after building. The engine was taken to
• the railroad shops and thawed out, and then
took water from the - cistern connected there
with.. For three hours the firemen and citi
! .zens worked faithfully at the breaks when
Ta t e lvreger-. gave- : out, the engine was again.
'frozen up and was disabled; pails were the
only articles left with which to tight this
!enemy.
'At seven o'clock, Williamsoic.,2 reet,
from Hannibal to Carpenter, was in ashes
on both sides. It in a- block 57t3-feet long,
and but two buildings remain./
"Isaac Smith's boot - and'-shoe 'store and
Odd Nellows Bldek, the,Zaptist church and

Miliertown, Pa., March 6, 1873.
THE SCANDAL AT KNOXVILLE.—We have
received the following communication, and
in pursuance of the request of the writer
proceed to lay it before our readers:
Mr. `Editor.—Last evening at the tea table,
a copy of the Addison Advertiser of Febu
ary 26 was handed me, and my attention
called to an article credited t the AGITA
TOR, detailing what were stated to be the cir
cumstances of a most brutal outrage commit
ted against the persons of two young girls,
aged about twelve and thirteen years respect
ively; and that the guilty parties were per
mitted 'to go peacefully about their. business
unmoiested, through THE CRIMINAL NEGLECT
OF Mn. J. M. Gissow, as well as that of the
uncle and guardian of the girls.
In such cases, and i n all cases, the simple
unvarnished truth is what every sensible
person wishes=-the truth and nothing but
the truth. There is, in all conscience, out
rage ehough in this wicked world of ours,
without painting its atrocities in higher col
ors than their own native hue.
et us, t.en, attend to the facts in this
case, • as - they actually occurred. On the
evening,of..February lid, last, there - called at
the Knoxville Hotel, a man from Potter
county, with .his wife, his young 50T1, and
his two orphaned nieces whom he had
brought up in his family. On the same even
ing, two young men from the village of Ad
dison, Steuben county, N. Y. also called for
the night; and also, a Mr. Bronson ii - nd son
from Cuba, Allegany county, N. Y.
This hotel, kept by Mr. Gibson, above re
ferred to, has 'most of its sleeping-rooms on
the second floor. On the south thee of this
second floor is a veranda opening above the
street some twelve feet from the ground.
Along the side of this veranda are four sleep
ing-rooms, with windows opening out on to
the veranda from them, and from one of them
a door. All these rooms connect with a cen
tral hall running parallelwith the veranda;
but no two of them connect•directly with each
other. In the - eastern room of this suite were
placed, for the night. the uncle of the girls,
with his wife and son ; next to them; the two
girls; next to them,,these two young men
from Addison; • and, in the western room,
Mr. Bronson and his son. The two young
men were in the room from which the door
opens on to the veranlii. This is usually oc
cupied:by Mr. Gibson himself; but he gave
it to these two young men, because one of,
them is a rich man's son; and Mr. Gibson
gave him as good as ho . had, while he, him
self, took a room on the opposite side of the
central ball. He did net retire until about
12 o'clock. At a quarter before one, these
girls came out of their room, passed by his ,
door and went to the door of the room oc
cupied by their uncle and aunt. and called
to be let in. Mr. Gibson immediately sprang
ont of bed, threw on his clothes, stepped into
the hull, and inquired whet was the matter.
By this time, the uncle hafl opened his door,
and admitted the girls. Mr. Gibson followed.
They said two men had come into their'
room, through the window from the veranda,
and had attempted to violate their persons.
Mr. Gibson proceeded it y to the
door, of the room eccupk young
men. They attested to be > that he
could not arouse them. m went
through the window onto the veranda, and
tried the outside doerof their room; and
after thumping and,threshing, they answered
his call, at first declining to open their door.
Ho 'replied, tlitit if it was net opened, he
it open. They thereupon
stated the case to them. They
everything of the kind. He
ress themselves and -go with
Nom where thegirls and , their
t; were.. ', The•eld - ek of the two
dhe could' identify her mati;
ger hesitated. 'The men both
fur:6u * sly denied every allegation made. by
the girls.
Now, let us attend to what had been done.
In the bed where the girls had been, were
some stains of blood, where the elder girl had
lain. It was pronounced catamenial
by very competent' authority. The uncle
had heard the window in the trootn occupied
by the girls, rise, and had himself half risen
to ascertain its cause; hut, hearing nothing
more, he had lain down again. No noise
further was heard, until the girls came into
the hall. So far, then t the evidence against
the raseals was too slender, Se stood the
case in the morning; still, -however, Mr.
Gibson proposed to the uncle of the girls, to
immediately apprehend the viieins. He, on
the contrary, was very anxious to prosecute
his Journey, and so did,—Mr. Gibson thought
tbttestitnony of the girls needed some col
: support, 814 bided his time: These

Now, MT.. AGITATOR, I' hope that, willing

GILES ROBERTS, J. P.
Having no desire to do injustice to any
man, oven involuntar i lly, we have thus giv
en Mr. Sayles .all the space requested in
which to vindi/ate the action of the land
.l
lord, Mr. GibsT, beir - ---
communication as 9'

ers can judge o for tb
willing to leave the
merely remarking t •
leading citizens of K
conversant with the
Et S a pretty hard one
It seems to us, however, that a few wordi
of diminent e t re called for upon one point
which has been raised by this discussion, and
we proceed to make them i o
Mr. Sayles takes 9 sharply to task for
publishing the fact that such an 'outrage had
.been committed, and says "if a common
sense silence had been observed" in regard to it
"those two young scaPe-graces would .have
been apprehended long ago." Now, let us
apply4e. little "common-sense" to -the con
sideration .of the facts M
and see how uch
the publicity we gave d o the affair can have
interfered , with the ceurse of justice. Ac
cording to Mr. Sayles t..he offense evils com
mitted, on the night or February 3d. Ten
days afterward the uncle returned and the
depositions of the gir s were taken. Feb
ruary 18th—Ave days fter the depositions
were taken and fifteen days after the crime
wfts e - bminitted—we published the-first no
tice df the affair. Was' not two weeks time
enough to enable the landlOrd to vindicate
the honor of his house by procuring the
arrest of the villains who bad stained it be
cause ''they thought the girls belonged to
the house?" It would! seem to the eye of
"common-sense" ample time to set the
wheels of justice in motion, even if - one of
the dirty offenders was l'a rich man's' son.",
as
But even if it w not, what' possible etn : i
barrasssnent could' be iauaed in the matter
by the fact that the story was made public?
Did not these "two young men from Addis,
s eess know that-they wire elsarged with the •
offense? Were they not aware that their
names,were known to Mr. Gibson, and should
be known, on the morning of February 4th,
to the public authorities? We regret ex
ceedingly that their narnes aro not to this
day known to us, so that we can give them
to the public; and our rFaders mustbave re
marked, as a singular circumstance in the'
case, that our correspondent is careful not to
mention the names of the offenders: WNeth
er the ()mission is accidental or intentional we
don't know; it is certaily significant.
The "two young men, from Addison" had
been already brought before the girls and
charged with the crime.l . They had already
told of the affair four miles from Knoxville
and confessed that "the did it," according
to Mr. Sayles. It is certain
ain that the state
ment in the AGITATOR ' conveyed no infer
matien to them. How, then, is it pretend:
ed that the publication Of the fact aided their
escape? i:)id it inclini the people where
they- mig tbe to aid 'their flight? We can
not insult the citizens of any portion of Ti
oga county, or of Steuben, by such a suppo
sition;nndlwe think Mr.; Bayles will not. Is
it possible that these two, young men counted
too much.npon the good nature of Mr. Gib
-son, because-they thought the girls belonged
to the house, and felt secure from arrest un
til the landlnrd might be impelled by public
opinion to prosecute them? 'We hope not;
but we confess we cant understand what
Mr. Sayles means by im lying that the pub
lication of the fact two weeks after its oc
currence prevented the apprehension of the
"two young `cape-graces," as he calls them.
As to Mr. Sayles's pleasant remarks about
"the brains of fools," the indiscretion of the
press, "pruriency," &c., we let them pass
for all they are worth, merely remarking
that we fully recognize he duty of the press
• not to aid the escape 9f criminals by pre
mature disclosures of crimes. We also rec
ognize as a further duty the task—always a'
disagreeable one—of hoTding up to merited
public reprobation those who violate the
criminal law of the land and, still snore,
those who attempt to palliate such violation s ;
or wink' at the escape of the guilty. On a
c a reful l review of thsi facts of this case, we
are satisfied that we h.ve not overstepped
the line of duty in either direction. ,
[One other point and ss',. e have done : "Cit
izen," in his communication published by
us two weeks ago, says that our first article
reflects severely on the, honor of the Boro of
KnOxville. This is,-v. mistake. Wo - were
careful to state that the perpetrators of the
outrage did not' live in Knoxville, but were
from the State of New York. The. fact that
such an affair happened lis certainly no dis
credit-6 any village or;any house where it
t9iiik place. The vicious passions of-the de
praved may manifest thein selves anywhere.
It is only when those *hose 'duty it is to see
that the law is put in motion to punish such
is
,put
fail to do so that dishonor attaches
to any, but the guilty' parties. We have
never attributed to the good l people of Knox
ville, who, we know,
,condemn the crimes as
warmly as we do, any fault in the premises.
But whenever there is an apparent attempt
anywhere to hush such 'a matter up we be
lieve it is Ole business of the press to give
utterance to the indignant protest of every
honest heart, even if the 'offenders are `;rich
men's sons.'.'A failure to do that would be,
