Guy 0. Hollon, Detective of Brad
ford county, in whose special charge
Hie murder case has been put, writes
District Attorney Grimm of this
county, dated April 25th, as follows:
"I Lave done much work both be
fore and since the Inquest, and Lave
gathered enough evidence in the
case to hang twentj' men. Have
got Marks' overcoat, (the coat was
not on body when found) covered
with blood, his horse 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 be in Russia.
The murderers went to New York
city, on the 21st of March. We
have men working on the case there;
have worked night and daj' and have
traveled many hundred miles. We
know our men. I have hopes that
you may j'et have the chance to con
vict the perpetrators of this most
dastardly murder, and that 1 may
yet see them stretch some good old
hemp imported for that purpose.
The search for the fugitives b}' 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. <fc 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 him
many friends during his short staj'
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">tli 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
will: anxious gaze while a new deal
is being made.—Bloomsburg Re
publican.
Dr. Ilill of Lal'orte, who recently
purchased a lot of the Lake Mokoma
Land Company, is very much out of
sorts, that the Land Co., are agi
tating an ordinance to permit Ashing
in the 1 ike at a stated price per
hour. He thinks that those de
siring this privilige ought to invest
in a lot the same as he did. Should
an ordinance come to pass to this
etfect, it will cause several "lot
holders" to say cuss words. Not
withstanding, however, the heavy
stock holders of the concerne will do
what they think best for the ad
vancement of their property.
Our Dushore contemporaries have
refused to make mention of the fact
that the KEITH UAN is to be en
larged on May (llh, 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 Kni'i HLH AN will be pleas
ed to lend them a helping hand.

t'ulurnl Vagrant* * on the
Itlueli in M ISNOM ri liaec
Trouble* Threatened
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 was 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 Midler 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 sceue which
brought to their minds the daj's of
actual slavery. The woman was put
up first. She brought $lO for the
sixty days work that the county
fined her. The men sold for #lO,
*l2 and 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.
(■ood ItoadN,
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 and lakes
navigable, he helps to keep back the
waters of the Mississippi from inun
dating the lands along its shores, he
iiuilds 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
struction and maintenance of good
roads.
Hay Famine in Niillivaii County.
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 ut
the barn. Some of the dairies will
bo 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 liaj' 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 llock in a starving
condition. This is not only un
profitable farming but is cruelty to
animals. "A merciful man is merci
ful to his beast" is as true to-day as
I ever.
