HORRIBLE CHARGES
AGAINST A FATHER
LEVI DORNSIFB CHARGED BY
HIS DAUGHTER.
ACCUSED PLEADS NOT GUILTY
But tho
Prosecutrix Swears to
Covering a Period of
a Year Committed
Without Bail
Faota
Over
EVI DOKNSIFE, a
resident of South Jar
din etroet and who has
been h residmt of
town for many years,
was before 'Squire
"Williams Saturday
afternoon charged
with most atrocious crimes. Tbo chargos
ft-o made by Dornsifo's daughter, who if
less than sixteen years of age,
If ono half she swears to is true tb
accused is a human monster of the worst
form and no punishment preset ibed by law
is hard enough for him.
The daughter charges rape and inco't
and she is positive in her allegations.
According to the sworn statements of
the girl tbo acts have been committed
frequently for many months. "When asked
why sbu did not expose her father before
sho says sbo did not do so because of
throats of what he would do if sho did
expose him,
Tho charges havo formed an under
curront of public discutsion for many
months and about bIx months ago Dorn
sifo was expelled by the Odd Fellows
because of tbem. "When tho order made
Its investigation it was with difficulty that
tho girl could be made to speak, but from
what was eventually gleaned tho order felt
justified in declaring the expulsion.
Cora Dornsifo, tho prosecutrix, is a girl
of short stature and wnil built for her age.
Sho is comely,' but not attractive. Her
appearance and demeanor givo evidence of
tho inroads of vice. Sho admits that she
has gone astray, but declares firmly that it
was her father who put her on the road
Cora appeared before 'Squire "Williams
accompanied by one of her sitters. Before
giving her testimony tho girl asked that tho
hearing be as private as possiblo and the
room was cleared of all except the officials,
the Herald reporter and those directly
interested in tho case.
Assistant District Attorney Shay was
present to conduct tho examination in
behalf of the Commonwealth and L. D.
Haugbawout, Esq., appeared in behalftrf
the girl, as her special counsel.
Dornsifo was brought into the justlco's
offlco by Constablo Dando. Ho was as
cool as if he was a disinterested spectator of
tho proceedings and eyed bis daughter
indllTerontly as she took the stand to
testify.
Tho reports made of tho case yesterday
in other papers were not correct. They
dragged into tbo case parlioa who aro not
involved by tbo testimony, save one and
that is one of Cora's sisters, who tosttflod to
a conversation sbo overheard between the
father and girl.
In condensed form Cora's testimony wa9
as fallows: "I am 15 years of age and will
not bo 10 until tho 12th of noxt March.
The accused is my fathor. My mother
told mo he was and I have always known
him as such. He has bad carnal knowledge
of mo. The first occurrence was in June
of last year. Ho mado advances to mo
when I was washing dishes and whon I ro
pulsed him be struck me hard with his fist.
He only asked mo to go upstairs with him,
but I judged his purpose because my
mothor had warned me against him. Ho
first had knowledge of me by stealing into
my bedroom In tbo middle of night and
forcing me to submit. Ho warned me
not to make an outcry. Tho first ttmo was
In tho beginning of June, 1801, the second
about the Cth or 7th of July, 1891, and the
occurrences wero frequont up to Hay, 1802.
All the assaults wero mado at a late hour of
night, in my bed room, and were mado by
force. In May last I loft home and went
to Tamaqua. Last Sunday evening I ro
turned and on Monday ho again attempted
to assault me and I brought this suit, I
didn't leavo my father when he first mado
the assaults upon me becaaso my mother
was alive, bhe died last December. I did
not leave him after she died until last May
because I was not strong onough to go any
plaoe to work. I was sUk and under a
doctor's oare."
Dornsife, the acouiad, was given an
opportunity to ask tho witness questions
and be wanted to know if the justice had a
IPi
right to tako tho oath of a common
prostitute.
This caused Cora to burst into toars and
sho retorted that if sho was he had mado
hor so.
In answer to quosttons put by tho fatbor
tho girl said: "I havo not como hereto
toll lies. It is all tho truth. I did not
bring tho Milt for spite. "When I threat
ened to squeal on him he said I had bettor
not if I didn't want to go to the Houio of
Correction."
An older siBtor was called and sho gave
the details of a statement she board the ac
cused make to prosecutrix. Tho testimony
is of such a character that it is unfit for
publication. It tended to show that tho
father bad urged his daughter to follow the
nitructions of a woman wlo had stated
sho would coin money for him. Cora was
to dross and behave as she was told by the
woman.
Upon the conclusion of this testimony
Squire "Williams committed Dornsifo with
out ball on chargos of rape and incest.
"You mutt go with me," said Constable
Dando to tho accused,
'All right, sir," said Dornsife, as he
picked up his hat and meekly followed tho
officer to the lockup.
At tho close of the cao AseislantDistrict
Attorney Shay said the case was the worst
that bad ever como boforo his notice and
that the evidonco adduced at tho hearing
was more than sufficient to convict on tb
churn 03 made.
Dornsifo remained in the lockup until
this morning, when ho was taken to the
Pottsvitlojail. Ho has retained "W. D.
Seltzer, Esq., as his counsol and expected
to gbt out on bail this afternoon.
A reporter visited Dornsifo in tho lock
up and asked him if he wished to make any
statement. He said that ho did net, only
that ho was not guilty.

OF
MANY INTERESTING STORIES
Tho Body of a Relative Located
After a Space of Thirty Years.
Veterans in Line at tho
Encampment.
WISCONSIN Grand
Army man, while
waiting for a train at
the Baltimore and
Ohio depot at Wash
ington last week, in
rep'y to a question of
a comrade as to where
ho was bound for,
stated that he was on
his way to Frederick City, Md., to see tho
gravo of his stei -brother, who had been
buriod 31 years beloro and of whom noth
ing had beon beard by his relatives for that
period, xno speaker tnen narrated now a
clew to the discovery had boen made. Ho
said that while ho was in camp at Washing
ton ono day last week a eoldior from an
other state was talking of a fight at Boliver
Hoights. Tho party who related this story
to the writer asked the speaker if he knew
his stop-brother. "I did," waB tho prompt
reply. "I hold his hand when he died and
his remains lie in a ceniclory at Frederick
City, whoro tho ladies erected a tombstone
in his honor."
The Shonandoah visitors to Washington
got their money's worth. They were woll
accommodated ana vers auordea an
opportunity cf visiting many important
points as woll ts witnessing a great parade,
All speak in tho highest terms of tho
beautiful city. Said on of tbo visitors
upon his roturn: it is Inn only city.
Everything is free and there are enough
attractions for a life time."
One of the party lost his wifo at Mount
Vernon, and it was with difficulty that hu
lound her.
"Pennsylvania wasn't 'in it,' " has boen
assorted by more than one, in referring to
tho great parade, So far as tho uppoarance
of the men in line was concernod Now
York took tho bakery and Massachusetts
the cake. As to numbers, Pennsylvania
took the lead. Thore were over 250 bands
in lino and New York, Massachusetts
Iowa and New Jersey showed up well
Ono band lrom Now York comprised
nearly 200 men. There wbb another of
nearly 100 mombnrs. The Third Brigade
band, tho idol of this county, looked tamo
in comparison to these organizations.
The Grand Army of the states mention
ed take great pride in their organizations
and put on their best bibs when thoy go
away from homo. Thoy leave home to
mako an impression and always succeed.
Col. M. P. Fowler, "sat out" the whole
parado at Washington like an old soldier
and now he can tell, on account of his
excellent memory, almost more than any
personliving. The parade lasted over eight
hours.
Two newspaper men, F. B. Wallace and
"CharleyJ' Garrett, both formerly of this
county, wore greatly in demand in Wash
ington, They havo beon liv.ng at the
Capitol for many yearB and aro employed
in tho government office Their services
were invaluable, as they are well posted on
the city.
Tho appoaranco of Gen. B. F. Butler at
the head of tho Massachusetts department
in tho parade was a signal tor applause all
along the line. He was in a barouche and
was evidently greatly pleased by tho rec
ognition, Another striking Incident of the parado
was the appearance of ex-I'ro.ident Ruthsr
ford B. Hayes on foot at tho hoad of tho
Ohio department, He was modest in ap
pearance, but was easily recognised and
loudly cheered. It was a surprise to see
an ox-Prcaldont of tho United States
marching in the ranks as a private, but
that is characteristic of nearly all our great
men.
Generals Slocum and Slckels, two noted
New Yorkors, and both brave and true
men, wore among those who reeoivod com
plimentary notico along tho line. Both
aro "sour" on Cleveland and do not hesi
tate to show their disgust with the "Stuffed
Prophet." Genoral Sickels told tho truth
when be said few eoldlors in New York
would vote for Cleveland. An Inquiry
among tho vetorans at Washington proved
this. Ono old "vet" whon he prodicted
that Comrade Harrison's maority would
bo 200,000 In New York, caused quite a
smile among bis comrados. He really be
lieved It, but such an event is an im
possibility. Another old soldier said there
wero twenty-five Irish Domocrats In bis
Pott who never voted other than tho
Democratic! ticket, but who would volo for
Harrison this year. This Is but a straw,
but it shows the direction in which tho
wind is blowing.
Our townsman John Watson, who is
cripplod by the results of an Injury tut
t&ined in the mines, marched In tbo parade
in good shape. Post 1 18 was pretty well
up In front anl mado as good appearance
as many other organizations. It must have
mde Comrade Watson fuel good when ho
saw the remnant of the old 79th (N. Y.)
regimont, known as the Highlanders, and
every ono being a Scot, hoadod by two
bagpipers. The "Ulh earned an enviable
record.
Captain "Jack" Crawford, tho pot
cout, our only "Jack," was conspicuous
In the parado, mounted on a spirited horse.
His appearance was good. Ho was dressed
in the costume of a scout, and his long,
wavy hair under tho broad-brimmed bat
made him easily recognizable. He was
cheered h' artily.
Martin Pastorfiold, eon of a former pastor
of tho Methodist Episcopal church of town,
is ono of tho clerks in tho National Hotol
at Washington and was called on by many
of the Shenandoah boys. Martin is a fino
specimen of manhood and is woll liked by
his employers. Ho will be glad to havo
Shenandoah people stop at his hotel when
n Washington and will treat them right.
Martin was onco an apprentice in the
Hjckaxd offico, but did not serve his time.
It is doubtful if the railroad companies
running into Washington ever had a de
mand upon thoir resources equal to that of
last week. Tho Philadelphia and Rending
and Baltimore and Ohio railroads utilized
every available car in tho service o! the
Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central, Delaware,
Lackawanna and Hudson, and their own
roads. It Eoemod that tbo two companies
bit offmoro than they could chew, as their
trains were several hours late in getting to
thoir destination. Much of the delay was
due to the necessity for ferrying the trains
at Baltimore, but it is pleasing to note that
there wero no accidents.
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad much can
bo said to the credit of tho management.
No great army i better commanded than
tho employos under the Pennsylvania.
Discipline marks everything. The system
is most perfect and the resources are
unbounded. The immense traffic was
handled admirably and no delay lastod
more than an hour.

An attractive programme for the con
cert to be held in Ferguson'fl theatre
to-morrow evening, under the ampices

mentalpieces and is very ploasing. The

Haskoy and Master Edward Jones will
take part in the concort. Tho price of

but 25 cents.
An Interesting Suit.
Saturday afternoon 'Squire Walker'g
office was the tceno of a lively law suit.
John Hilbert, of Chottnut street, charged
Mrs. William Seltzer, bIso of town, with
fraud, conspiracy and forgery, in taking
out a policy on his life without his knowl
edge or consent. Mr. Hilbert employed
M. M. Butke, Esq., to prosecute his case
and Attorney Ooyle lookod af.er Mrs.
Seltzer's interests.' Tho hearing was con
tinued to Friday, next, in order to have
important papers produced. After the
hearing Mr. Hilbert, on advice of his
counsel, swore out a warrant for the arrest
of George C. Ueckman, tho Prudential
Company ug nt, who prepared the papers.
The caBo promises to be an interesting one.
