Pa. <)ua} I,cutis The Philadelphia Press has been waging a bitter personal warfare against Senator Quay for the past six months and has been trying to deceive its readers by misrepre sentation and falsehood. In a re cent issue it published a leugthy at tack upon his military record, in which it intimated that the Senator's friends had lauded him for his bravery in leading his regiment at Fredericksburg, and then proceeded to prove by the records that Lieu't. Col. O'Brien led it in that disas trous contest. An honorable paper would have stated the truth and would thereby have won respect- The facts are that Col. Quay because of an attack of typhoid fever from which he was slowly recovering was compelled to resign his commission which he did a few days before the battle. He had not left the camp when he learned that an advance would be ordered soon and he ask ed the privilege of leading his regi ment. This was denied him because of his resignation. But he then volunteered upon the staff of Gen. Tyler the brigade commander and served there gallantly during the conflict. This is all that we have ever seen claimed for him by his most ardent supporters and the plain recital of it would do no one an injustice. An honest and honor able purpose would have dictated such a course. We are not sur prised therefore when we find the people resenting such criticism in overwhelming numbers as was proven in the primary elections re cently in Armstrong, Snyder and Union counties. Quay carried all these by large majorities in a direct vote between himself and Dalzell. It is unfortunate for the latter that he should be thus slaughtered be cause of the injudicious and ill tempered zeal of his alleged friends, lie has marked ability and deserves better treatment, and that he may not be completely snowed under, he should call off the Press. It may be possible that the friends of Senator Quay have set up a job by engaging this journal to wage such a bitter and relentless warfare, knowing that it will only have a contrary effect from that intended. ANTI-QUAY MIN WERE NOT IX IT. The Nenalor Wins a Derisive Yietorj- in MIIIIUIMIOUII. SHENANDOAH, April 3. —The re- Rult of the Republican primary elec tion here yesterday Mas a decisive Quay victory. The anti-Quay Re publicans concentrated their entire l'orce in two wards of the borough— the Second and Fourth—and waged a battle that brought out every Re publican voter in these two districts. In the Second ward the fight was centered on John F. Finney, the Quay representative, but he won by a vote of 87 to 47. The County Convention, which is to be held at Pottsville- Tuesday, will indorse the junior Senator and elect Quay delegates to the State Convention. \ COLU BLOODKI) BDTt'HKH*. The Horrible Tragedy 1* itneseed It) u Voung Haii. PHILADELPHIA, April I.—While James Beal, a young man of West moreland county, Pa., was tramping over the Laurel 11 ill mountain yesterday afternoon on his way to visit his sister, who resides three or four miles from the county line in Somerset county, he reached a loop recently cut in the road to avoid a cliuckhole —one of the most lonely and desolate in the mountains. Here he heard the command ''halt" ring out, apparently from the dense wood to his right, lie thought the command was directed to him and he stopped, but glancing around lie could see no one and lie moved cautiously forward, peering through the undergrowth. A few yards from him, standing erect in the middle of an abandoned road, was a sturdy lookiag, gray headed man, with his face turned toward two men, who stood partly hidden in the trees, and holding two rifles pointed at him. "Halt" wa9 the command young Beal heard again. The old man seemed to be willing to surrender and raised his right hand as though to tell the men to hold ofl. With the first movement came the sharp crack of one of the rifles and the old man, without a word, dropped on his knees. Young Beal jumped behind a tree. Again he heard the command "halt," followed by another shot, and the old man lay writhing on the ground. Then one of the men rushed into the road and with his gun beat the victim over the head. Then the two grasped the unconscious old man by the arms, and with kicks and curses began to drag him in the dense undergrowth. Beal thought he was in the presence of highwaymen and took to his heels, starting back towards West moreland county. A mile or so from the scene of the shooting he camo to the house of Jonathan Uockstetter. He told the family of the bloody scene be had witnessed. They directed him to another road by which he could reach his sister's house. When Beal reached the house he told those assembled there of the tragedy. While Beal was reciting his story to a crowd of men llarvey Uock stetter came up and anxiously asked if any one had seen bis father Jonathan. The old man had been at the Trent postoffice during the afternoon, but had left for his home three miles distant. Beal gave a description and young llockstetter exclaimed "My God, that was father." The villiagers immediately formed a posse to search for the body. Under Deal's guidance the posse, well armed, repaired to the scene of the occurrence, but no trace of the body could be found. A large quantity of blood had formed a pool where the deed was committed, but this was the only evidence to sustain Beal's story. Terrible ex citement prevails and close search ing is being made for the murderers. The tragedy is believed to be the work of moonshiners, who swore to have Hockstetter's life l'or his testi mony against four of their com panions at the present session of the United States district court at Scranton. Where his body now lies nobody knows, but his friends and several officers are scouring the Laurel llill mountain, following the snow tracks of the men who killed him and concealed or carried away his corpse. Mernice, Pa., April 2, 1892. A Republican Club was organized on Saturday April 2.id, with a membership of 31, (very good for the first night). The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That this Club shall be known as Sullivan Republican Club, No. 1, of Bcrnice, and shall have for its object the furtherance of Re publican principles, and especially the Republican campaign of 1892. The following officers were unani mously elected: A. N. W'ilmot, Presi lent; Thos. Shell and C. P, Wat-on, Vice Presidents; J Saxon, Secri try; P. W. Brockway, Corres ponding Secretary ; Lewis Thurston. Treasurer. Wc expect to double the number, before the campaing waxes very hot. Seckexahy. A Colored landlord. At the recent license Court a colored man applied before Judge Metzger, of Lycoming county, for a hotel license tn Williamsport. Ou Tuesday the Judge granted the application and delivered the following opinion : "A large number of the citizens of the Fourth ward of the city of Williamsport have signed the pe tition of the applicant, and have certified to the necessity of this hotel in said ward. A number of the citizens of the same ward have signed a remonstrance agaist the granting of the license, and the num ber for-and against the petitioner is so rearly equal, that it is very hard to determine the necessity ol the house from the papers alone. There seems to he a wide difference in the sentiment of the citizens upon this subject, but after inquiry, we find that many of those who signed the remonstrance admit the necessity of this hotel in the city, but are of opinion that the location of the house is not the proper one for such a hotel. The very same ob jection was made last year, when the application for license was made for a house in the centre of the city, and it was then Urged that if one was granted, it should he in a lo cality where a large portion of the colored population resided. The application as amended, is now for a house located in a ward and on a street in the vicinity of which a large number of colored people re side. It seems to me that if a license for a hotel to be kept by a colored citizen is necessaiy in this city, it would be almost impossible to select a more appropriate lo cation. To refuse the license, under the circumstances, is virtually to say that no colored man need ap ply- There is a population of more than 1,500 coloied persons in this city, a large portion of them who reside in the Fourth ward. There are two Masonic Lodges, two lodges of Odd Fellows, one lodge of Good Samaritans and one Grand Army Post, all composed of colored mem bers. Colored visitors to this city and colored travelers who have oc casion to stop off here, frequently have difficulty in getting hotel ac comodations, and are obliged to seek entertainment from private colored citizens. That they have the same right to hotel accommoda tions that a white citizen has, can not be questioned ; that it is better that such entertainments should be furnished by one of their own num ber, is equally true ; that a colored citizen is entitled to a license equally with the white citizens, upon the same terms and conditions, is also true. It follows, therefore, that if the colored applicant is a fit person, and the house is necessary for the accommodation of the public, the license should be granted. We have for these reasons con cluded to grant this license. If he shows himself worthy, keeps a proper house, and conducts his business in a lawful manner, we shall not regret this action. If ->n the other hand, he violates the law, or conducts his business in an im proper manner we shall feel com pelled to revoke his license. We have confidence in the ability and character of the applicant to con duct a good and orderly public house, and we sincerely trust that time will prove that our confidence was not misplaced.— Ex. An Eventful Life. Daniel Shafler, an old time en gineer, died at Homellsville Wednes day night. He was seventy-six years of age and had led an event ful life. When a young man he was a piano maker. When the first telegraph line in tlie United States was constructed lie assisted in the work. About 1850 he became a locomotive fireman 0:1 the Balti more and Ohio, and a lew years later became an engineer 011 the Erie. During the civil war he was employed by the government as an engineer in Tennessee. He next went to the island of Cuba and was one of the contractors who built a railroad on that island, lie return ed to New York on the steamer '•Star of the West" which took aid to Major Andersi n at ForlSumpter. lie resigned his position on tue Erie only a lew months ago.— Ex. Arbor Day. Governor Pattison has issued his proclamation fixing two days to be observed as Arbor Days by the peo ple of this state. In it he says : The bencficient effects consequent upon the due observance of '• Arbor Day"have been witnessed with in terest and pleasure by the citizens of Pennsylvania. The planting and cultivating of trees and flowers can not be too highly commended, nor its great importance too early im pressed upon the youthful mind. Considered frcm a sanitary, in tellectual, aesthetic and financial point of view, it should be encour aged by every citizen who has an abiding interest in the future wel fare of the Commonwealth. Now, therefore, I, Robert E. Pat tisou, Governor of said Common wealth, in accordance with custom, which has received the official sane lion of our General Assembly, there by the Governor is requested to ap point annually a day to be designat ed as Arbor day in Pennsylvania, and to recommend, by proclamation to people, on the days named, the planting of trees e.nd shrubbery on the public school grounds, and along the public highways through out the state, do hereby designate and proclaim Thursday the 14th day of April, A. D. 1892, and Friday the sixth day of May, A. D. 1892, to be observed as Arbor Days in Peunsy]■ vania. The selection of cither of the above designated days is left to the discretion of the people in the vari ous sections of the Commonwealth, each section observing that day which is deemed to be the most favorable ou accouut of climatic con ditions. I call upon the people to lay side, for a season, the habitual ac tivities of the day, and devote suffi cient time thereof to plant a forest, fruit or ornamental tree along the public highways and streams, in private and public parks, about the public school houses, and on the college grounds, in gardens and on the farms—thus promoting the pleasure, profit and prosperity of the people of the State, providing pro tection against floods and storms, securing health and comfort, in creasing that which is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, comforting to pliysicial life, and elevating to the mind and heart. A tornado of fearful distrnciion swept over the Western States on Thursday evening, March 31st. The town of Towanda, Kansas, was en tirely distroyed. Seven story build ings in the city of Chicago, were blown down and many persons killed by falling brick. The Williamsport Republican was on Monday of last week purchased by John P. Dwyer who has been connected with the paper for sever al years, and E. J. Larking, formerly Cashier of Cochran, & Payne Me- Cormiek's bank. The paper will be independent in politics. Mr. Dwyer will occup3 - his old position as editor in chief and Mr. Larkins will be business manager of the paper. SONES TOWN ITEMS. Things are moving along quietly in our town. Samuel Eddy is improviug steadi ly- Geo. W. Simmons has his hands full now. We saw the smiling countenance of John Paulhamus in town, Mon~ day. Riley Steinback and wife of Lopez, were visiting friends in this place, over Sunday. The Lyon Lumber (V, are driving logs now at a lively rate, which makes work for some of the labor ers of our town. Lots of people here speak well of the proposed enlargement of the REPUBLICAN, and wo predict in creased circulation thereof. 'The Eagles Mere R. R.. is now in process of construction. Work has commenced on the grading and sev eral persons of our town are at work on it. It is rumored that the road will be built by American workmen, if they can be had. The main fault with our American laborers, is, the}- lack slick to-ittivenes*, which is very essential to railroad building or anything of that sort. ADMINI.VriIATOK'S NOTICE.
