TIIE I.ECOXEV MI'HDER.
Tlie Leconey Wittnevscs Summoned
to Appear llefore tho Cranil Jury.
The Camden grand jury is going
to make an attempt to unravel the
Leconey murder mystery.
Yesterday County Clerk Burrough
issued subpoenas for a number of
witnesses who testified in Leconey's
behalf. The papers directed that
the recipients appear before that
body to-morrow. Special Officer
Henry served the writs.
Leconey's counsel and others in
terested in his defence, and who
would be most likely to kuow the
purport of the summonses, maintain
ed the greatest secrecy when ques
tioned on the subject. It was in
tended to keep the matter quiet. It
is surmised that the object in call*
ing the Leconey witnesses is an at
tempt to have the negro Lingo in •
dieted for the crime. The following
named are among those who have
been subpoenaed:
William Vance, Leconey's brother
in-law ; his counsel, Messrs, Pan
coast, Grey and Gaskill, his brother
James, and Joseph Haines.
Ex-Judge Pancoast has in his
possession communications that will
probably lead to the arrest of some
one. He ipftised to divulge their
I contentp until he has carefully gone
over them. "Some of the letters,"
he a aid last night, "give some of the
inner workings of the trial. They
read like ft romance. According to
them some ®f the people who have
been hounding Leconey should be
in State Prison."
"Isi the issuing of subpoenaes an
attempt to implicate Lingo ?" he'
was asked.
"That remains to be seen," re
plied the attorney. "I will have to
go over the letters carefully to see
which to give to the newspapers and
which to retain."
Chalklqj' Leconey yesterday con
fessed judgment to Edward Bur
rough, County (Jlerk of Camden, for
$4,002, and entered a bond against
the farm for double the amount. It
is thought that Burrough advanced
the money to defray the expenses
attending Leconey's defense.
The Itline fire lCxtiiiguiMlied.
WILKES-BARRE, March 11. —The
flames in the South Wilkes-Barre
shaft were extinguished this after
noon, and the pumping process has
been stopped. The water will be
allowed to remain in the mine lor a
week, at the end of which time the
strata will be sufficiently cooled to
prevent another outbreak of fire.

P. D. Bricker, supervisor of the
eleventh census for the sixth dis
trict of Pennsylvania, comprising
the counties of Bradford, Cameron,
Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk,
Lycoming, McKean, Potter, Sulli
van and Tioga, whose portrait ap
pears in this issue, was born in West
pennsboro township, near Newville,
Cumberland county, this State, on
March Bth, 1840. [lis father, John
Bricker, died in 1849, aged seventy
two years, while his mother, at the
age of eighty-five year, is still living
in Newville, in the enjoyment ofi
good health. Captain Bricker re
ceived a common school and aeado
mical edticatiou, and began life for
himself at the age of seventeen years
teaching school for two years in;
what was called '"Hedge Kow Sem
inary," in Dickinson township, and.
for two years in the well-known'
Crops Roads school district, at the (
1 same time reading law with A. B.j
Sharpe, Esq., of Carlisle. At the!
outbreak of the civil war both in
structor and student enlisted in the
military service of their country.
Entering the ranks in July, 1862, as !
a private of company F. Thirteenth:
regiment Pennsylvania cavalry, Mr.! l
Bricker gradually rose by step,
through all the grades, from com -
pany clerk to corporal and orderly]
sergeant, until commissioned as l
second lieutenant of his company in
November, 18(52, and was promoted
to first lieutenant and again to cap-;!
tain of his company, being honorab-j'
ly discharged at Philadelphia, July'
28th, 1865. having served a fraction i
over three years. He was breveited
major on March 13th, 1865, "fori
gallant and meritorious services in
the field." During his military,
services, he at times acted as ad ;
jutant of his regiment, and served
on the staff of General John Irvin
Gregg, commanding the second!
brigade second division of cavalry,
Army of Potomac, for a brief period
as provost marshal and as acting as-!
sistant iuspector general, participat
ing in all the engagements of this
old brigade up to September 20th,
1804, when in the battle of Wyatt's
Farm, Va., he was slightly wounded!
and taken prisoner, being confined
in Petersburg, Libby, Saulsbury and
Daovillc prisons, until liberated
February 22d, 1805. He was ex !
changed March 21st. 1865, and re- 1
joined his command at Raleigh, N.|
C., April 14th, 1865, having been'
assigued while on his way to the;
dismounted camp at Goldsboro, N.
C., whero he drew rations and cloth-'
ing for General Kilpatrick's dis-|
mounted men, and marched them on 1
foot to Raleigh, N. C. He was as
signed for duty May Ist, 1865, on
the staff of General Thomas T.
Health, commanding the Third bri
gade, Kilpatrick's cavalry division,
as provost marshal and acting as-!
sistant inspector general, and was
j'.. Nt at the surrender of General
fiohnston to General Sherman,
April 26th, 1885. The State ofi
North Carolina being divided into
districts, police organizations were
effected, where required, in order to
promote peace, protect property and
to encourage the negro to support;
and to provide for himself. All
this was a matter requiring good
tact, untiring labor and stringent
methods. Fourteen counties, 0 in
cluding the city of Raleigh, formed ]
the district over which Captain
Bricker, as provost marshal, had
supervision, and he remained on l
this duty until July 14tli, 1865,
when his regiment and company <
were mustered out of service. Cap-,
tain Bricker was admitted to the
bar at Carlisle in August, 1860,
completing his studies after his dis
charge from the army. He located
in Jersey Shore, Lycoming count},
in 1867, where he has lived and prac
ticed his profession ever since. In r
civil life he has held different local
offices, such as burgess, school di
rector, etc. While on the school
board he worked hard to scure the
present public school building, an
- institution which had been much
needed in this borough. He aided
in organizing the present Grand
J Array post in Jersey Shore, and for
-five years was its commander, and is
, considered by all a true friend to
his comrades. He was active and
instrumental in securing for the
. Jersey Shore flooded district, Com
. prising two boroughs and ten town
ships, the large sum ot money dis
jtributed therein, and served as sec
dietary of tho com .nit. tee in the dis
tribution of the fund.
