Murder of Mark*
L.ATE A NX) AUTHENTIC.
Guy C. Hollon, Detective of Brad
ford county, in whose special charge
the murder case has been put, writes
District Attorney Grimm of this
county, dated April 25th, as lollows:
"I have done much work both be
fore and since the Inquest, and Lave
gathered enough evidence in the
case to hang twenty men. Have
got Marks' overcoat, (the coat was
not on body when found) covered
with blood, his borse and sleigh and
other property found in his murder
ers possession. Have found where
and how they shipped (Marks'
goods, but they have a month's
start, and may now he in Russia.
The murderers went to Js'ew York
city, on the 21st of March. We
have men working on the case there;
have worked night and day and have
traveled many hundred miles. We
know our men. I have hopes that
you may yet have the chance to con
vict the perpetrators of this most
dastardly murder, and that I may
yet see them stretch some good old
hemp imported for that purpose.
The search for the fugitives by my
se'f and a competent force under
me, is being pushed with dilligence
and if they are this side of the At
lantic they are ours."
Conductor Knipe of the W. & N.
8., is enjoying a vacation of a couple
of weeks; during which time he will
visit friends in Philadelphia. His
place on the train is filled by James
Dinning, baggage master. Jim
makes a first rate conductor and
his pleasant manner of doing busi
ness will no doubt win for hint
many friends during his short stay
in the important position which he
now holds. We have heard it men
tioned that Jim stands a pretty
good chance of being promoted from
baggage master to conductor on the
Eagles Mere Narrow guage road.
The selection would be good.
The Krickbaum—Herring faction
al fight was transferred to ilarris
burg last week. Each was trying
to defeat the other, and as b*>th suc
ceeded, we presume the hatchet will
now be buried. It is hinted that
the pipe of peace has already been
smoked. How true this is we are
unable to tell, but we are disposed
to question it. If the principals
have made up, it leaves their fol
lowers in a sorry plight. They can
stand without the gate and look on
with anxious gaze while a new deal
is being made.—Bloomsburg Jit

Dr. Hill of Lal'orte, who recently
purchased a lot ol the Lake Mokoma
Land Company, is very much out of
sorts, that the Land Co., are agi
tating an ordinance to permit fishing
in the l ike at a stated price per
hour. He thinks that those de
siring this privitige ought to invest
in a lot the same as he did. Should !
an ordinance come to pass to this j
effect, it will cause several "lot j
holders" to say cuss words. Not
withstanding, however, the heavy
stock holders of the concerne will do
what they think best for the ml -
vauceinent of their property.
Our Du*hore contemporaries have
refused to make mention of the fact
that the 11 kith ham is to be en
larged on May tiih, and the sub
scription price reduced to one dol
lar a year. It would appear that our
Brother editors over there, are not
pleased with the change. Should
they make any advancements in the
future, the REI'I III.ICAN will be pleas
ed to lend them a helping hand.

Colored Vagrant i " on the
ItlucU in i**oiiri - l!ac©
Trouble* 'i'lirealeuetl
FAYETTE, Mo., April 24. —This
town is again on the verge of a race
war because of a sale of vagrant
negroes which took place here yester
day. About a month ago a good
deal of excitement was caused by
the sale of throe vagrant negroes.
Yesterday the feeling wag intensified
by a public sale on a block of three
men and one woman, because they
offer no visible mode of support.
Hy Thompson, William Muller and
and John Wilkins were the men.
All are hearty negroes who were
never before arrested on any charge.
The woman was a good-looking
mulatto, Mary Whiteside. She was
accused of vagrancy. The colored
people were brought into the public
square at 11 o'clock and a great
crowd of both colors gathered. The
whites made fun of the poor victims,
and the blacks freely expressed their
displeasure at the scene which
brought to their minds the days of
actual slavery. The woman was put
up first. She brought &10 for the
sixty days work that the county
fined her. The men sold for $lO,
*l2 aud 813 respectively, being
taken by reliable farmers hereabouts,
The woman will work in a good
family in town. The negroes de
clared that this must stop or that
the whites must be sold with the
negroes. The sale took place on a
block, Sheriff Crieger officiating.

Everybody is interested in good
roads or should be, and it seems as
if a great opportunity to arouse the
public to the importance of an im
provement in the highways will be
lost, if at, the World's Fair there be
no comprehensive road exhibit. The
present condition of country roads
is amazing when we consider the
progress of civilization in other di
rections. Sullivan county, and for
that matter every other county in
the union, is still in the pioneer
period with roads. Uncle Sam
helps to make rivers aud lakes
navigable, he helps to beep back the
waters of the Mississippi from inun
dating the lands along its shores, he
liinlds great structures for cities and
does lots of other things for the
public good, why would it not be a
good plan to ask him to help to
make better roads. We believe a
comprehensive road exhibit at the
great Exposition at Chicago would
be the most powerful factor that
could be used to bring about nation
al and state legislation for the con
structiou and maintenance of good
roads.

A hay famine prevails in many
parts of Sullivan county. Some of
the farmers have turned their stock
out to gnaw the bare ground. Hay
is becoming scarce and is in great
demand at sl4 and J? 1G per ton at
the barn. Some of the dairies will
be in poor condition for making a
butter record this season. Cattle in
many places look like ''the last run
• of shad." Cows cannot be wintered
on half a ton of hay per head in this
climate neither cau a crop be pro
duced without labor and fertilizers.
A few cows well kept are worth
1 more than a large flock in a starving
condition. This is not ouly un
profitable farming but is cruelty to
animal*. "A merciful man is merci
ful to his beast - ' is as true to-day as
| ever.
