Next to the Hartje trial, the constant wrangling of some of our county ex- changes over the respective merits and” dirty capers of the various county baseball teams and their rooters, is easily the most disgusting thing the public has been confronted with for some weeks. Baseball, and the wrang- ling that usually goes with it in small towns, has brought reproach upon the sport and brought it to a level so low as to make a common dog fight look respectable when compared to the kind of ball games played in Somerset coun- ty, this season. When baseball clubs and their rooters can’t or won't act more respectable toward each other and the spectators'in general than com- mon thugs and blackguards, decent people should stay away from the games, and decent newspapers should not join in the disgusting wrangles. THE MASK IS OFF. With a renegade Republican at the head of their State ticket; a renegade Republican as their candidate for Con- gress in Bedford county, and a ren- egade Republican as their candidate for State Senate, the Democrats of this district are beginning to wonder where those of “Simon pure” faith are com- ing in. The truth of the matter is that the Democratic party does’nt.come in at all on this deal, and must be content to take the crumbs which the Lincoln Democrats graciously vouchsafe to them. The only consoling thing they can see is that by announcing himself as a candidate at the Democratic pri- maries, Thropp, by that action, has thrown off all pretense of being a Re- publican, and boldly allies himself with the Democrats as a supporter of Bryan. Of course the Democrats would not think of nominating a man for Congress who would not support the leader of their party and their logical candidate for President, and so Thropp was at last compelled to unmask. This rene- gade Republican is now where he be- longed all the time, and the people at last see him as he is. It must be a comforting fact to the Democratic fu- sion press, which has been lustily bray- ing against corporation rule and the Pennsylvania railroad, tohave two of its leading candidates identified with the corporation interests. Joseph E. Thropp is closely allied to the Pennsylvania railroad, and William H. Koontz is a director of the Baltimore & Ohio rail- road. These two men are so closely identified with corporation interests that any attempt to create a different impression is a fraud and a farce. Yet the subsidized fusion press in Bedford county “can heartily give support” to these candidates and at the same time bray against corporation control.— Bedford Inquirer. DON’T DRAG.

Joe Defranceseo Arrested for Crime —Makes Confession and Impli- cates Boarding Boss. A most unprovoked and horrible murder was committed at Coal Run, a mining village near Salisbury, at about 2:30 o'clock, last Saturday morning At about that hour a lot of miners em- ployed at Merchants mine No.2, on night shift, were returning to their re- spective places of abode. Several Ital- ians who boarded at the same house were working at the mines on Friday night, but they did not all return to their boarding house at the same hour next morning, and one of their number, Domenico Anderno, was found in an unconscious condition by a Polish wo- man in search of her cow, Saturday morning. The man was ‘not yet dead when found, but died shortly after the horrible discovery was made, without regaining consciousness. It was plain to see that the dead man had been foully murdered, for his head bore a huge gash made by some sharp instrument that penetrated the brain in the back portion of the skull. He was felled in a path leading from the mine to his boarding house, and it was plain to see that whoever struck the blow had stood behind some bushes growing by the side of the path, as the grass growing behind the bushes show- ed evidence of it. A stream of clotted blood 22 feet long was in the path, and the murdered man was found several rods away from the place where he had been stricken down. Whether he was dragged to the spot away from the path where he was found, or whether his death struggles landed him there, is not known. The woman who found the murdered man, at once made known her discov- ery to the other Italians, and in a short time the news reached Salisbury. Con- stable Frank Wagner and Deputy J. R. Joy at once went to Coal Run to in- vestigate matters, and they soon learn- ed that suspicion pointed strongly to Joe Defrancesco as being¢he murderer. As soon as the officers entered the Italian boarding house, the supposed murderer became very nervous, and great drops of sweat oozed out all over his face. The other inmates showed little or no excitement, answering all questions readily and apparently with- out fear. With Joe Defrancesco, how- ever, it was different, and he was not much inclined to talk. He became especially nervous when the officers searched his overcoat, which was hang- ing on the wall near his bed. In one pocket of the coat the officers found a hundred dollars or more, and in anoth- er pocket a larger sum. The bills were all wadded together,and felt very damp to the touch, as thcugh they had been carried into the mines or some other damp place. Two pay envelopes were also found in Defrancesco’s overcoat, one bearing his own name and the other the name of the murdered man. When the supposed murderer was asked whose money it was, he stated that it was his own money; but only a few minutes before, when the clothing he had on were searched, he declared that five or six dollars was all the money he had, and that was about all that was found on his person. The murdered man was known to carry be- tween $400 and $500 with him to the mines, having the money sewed up on the inside of one of his trouser legs, which was found to have been ripped open and the money stolen when his body was found. The amount of money found in Defrancesco’s overcoat was $490. The apparently guilty man was promptly put in irons and brought to the Salisbury lockup, where a guard was placed over him until Sunday morning, when he was taken to the Somerset jail. Joe Cascio, another in- mate of the Italian boarding house, was also placed under arrest with Defran- cesco, but was liberated the same day, as the officers were satisfied that he was not implicated in the murder. On Monday morning the dead man was given a Christian burial in the Catholic cemetery in West Salisbury, and in the afternoon the County Cor- oner arrived here and held an inquest, the following named persons serving on the jury: Robt. H. Johnston, Har- vey Hay, H. H. Reitz, Dennis Wagner, E. H. Miller and Henry Smearman. The verdict given by the Coroner’s jury was that Domenico Anderno came to his death by a blow struck with a sharp instrument in the hands of a person unknown, and the jury recom- mended, owing to strong circumstantial evidence produced, that Joe Defrances- co be held for the Grand Jury. A bloody ax was found in an out- building near the Italian boarding house, and judging from the cut in the murdered man’s head and mining cap, which exactly fitted the blade of the ax, it is almost a certainty that that was the instrument used to strike the death blow. The axis the property of Dieta Francesco, the keeper of the boarding house, and since Joe Defrancesco has been lodged in jail, he made a confes- sion to District Attorney Meyers, im- plicating the boarding house keeper, whom he declares struck the blow that killed Anderno. The keeper of the boarding house is also in jail now, as the result of the confession made by the first man ar- rested. However, it is not generally believed that the boarding boss is guilty, but rather the victim of De- francesco’s wrath, owing to damaging evidence he gave against the principal suspeet &t the Coroner’s inquest. Much strong evidence points to Joe Defran- cesco’s guilt that will not be made known until he has his trial. The murdered man has a wife and child in Italy, and the supposed mur- derer also has a wife and child in the same country. Anderno was killed only 231 feet from the mine opening, and about 150 feet from his boarding house. MEANS MUCH.

It now may be reasonably assumed that the Prohibitionists have taken the measure of Mr. Emery with sufficient accuracy to know what manner of man he is. That Emery should have sought, or even thought of accepting, the Pro- hibition nomination while he placed the breweries, the churches and the schools in one class, with equal claims to sup- port, ought to be enough to stagger Prohibitionists throughout the State, and it is, therefore, not surprising that Editor Likins of The People’s Tribune, the Prohibition organ of Fayette coun- ty, says, “We are unalterably opposed to his nomination.” The Tribune thus turns Mr. Emery down after a thorough review of his attitude while seeking the Prohibition nomination for Governor, and then gives this reason for its judg- ment: “Whatever the Prohibitionists do they must keep clean. They may be impolitic, but they must not dip their garments in the mud for a mere expediency.” If Mr. Emeryshould put that in his pipe and smoke it he cer- tainly would wake up in the morning with a bad taste in his mouth. Mr. Emery succeeded, with the Wan- amaker help, in securing the nomina- tion of the so-called Lincoln party, and through some peculiar mesmeric influ- ence he further succeeded in inducing the Democratic party to make a show of itself by abandoning its principles and endorsing him, but his Reform dis- guise was easily penetrated by the leaders of the Prohibition party, and between Swallow and Likins he has been pretty thoroughly uncovered. After giving its estimate of the man, The Tribune gives this opinion of his chances: “We believe, as matters stand now, that Mr. Emery will be de- feated by an overwhelming majority. The church cannot support him; the Anti-Saloon League ought not support him, and thousands of people who were friendly inclined toward him before this discussion commenced (before he was uncovered), are now alienated, and declare that it is not their intention to vote for him.” When the reform pretenders who have been planning and scheming te take advantage of the reform sentiment of the State have finished their efforts, the true reformers probably will come to the conclusion that their hope can be best entrusted to the regular nomi- nees of the Republican party, who are men worthy of any trust that may be reposed in them. Candidates who un- dertake to carry water on both shoul- ders must necessarily be under a heavy load of suspicion.—Somerset Standard.
