The Bribery Cases.
. Th r-asp of Representative Smith, of
Philadelphia ; Edward McCune and
Christian Long, of Hhippensburg, were
brought up in the Dauphin court lost
week, but owing to the non appearance
of witnesses and the legislative com
mittee on prosecution, Judge Tearson
ordered a continuance of the case until
the January term. A remark of Mr.
Simonton having been construed to
mean that the legislative committee had
no further desire to continue the prose
cution, Judge Fearsou said : " We are
not in the least inclined to enter nolle
prosequelB in these cases. We do not
feel disposed to pass them over. We
cannot pay any attention to the action
of the committee. The cases must be
tried the same as auy case of misde
meanor. But we cannot compel defend
ants to appear when they Bre sick. We
tried a case (PetrofTs) on its merits and
everything was In readiness for a con
tinuance of the cases, but somehow after
its conclusion the commonwealth's
counsel seemed to be indifferent and the
cases were postponed."
Romberger'8 Revelation.
Henry Romberger, the man who was
arrested for the murder of Daniel Trout
man, an account of which appeared in
last week's Times, has made a confes
sion, in which he implicates one Frank
Romberger of Lykens, and denies that
he (Henry) fired a shot on the night in
question. On this statement Frank
Romberger was arrested and lodged in
jail.' We append the confession in sub
stance as it appeared in Saturday's Pa
triot: "Frank Romberger started with me
at the small bridge, near Savage's build
ing, (b'elow Lykens), near dusk Sunday
evening, November 14th, 18S0. A lady
living near Rev. Lenker's in Lykens,
saw Frank Romberger get in the buggy
with me. We had a gray horse and a
carriage, which I had hired at Tower
City. Jacob Hettinger met us on the
road near John Wallace's farm. Down
below Shadel's hotel we met Harry Sny
der in a carriage. We left the carriage
and horse stand on . the hill, near the
creek, at James Troutman's. William
frerro passed Frank Romberger near
pliraru Bueck's place in Lykens, before
Jwe started. We crossed the foot bridge
at James Troutman's and went up the
creek to Daniel Troutman's. We en
tered the door of the dwelling, and
went into the room in front of the bed.
Frank called, and then the old woman
told Daniel Trout man to get up, some
one called him. Then Frank asked him
for his money. The old man said,
"what J"' Then Frank said: "We
want your money or your life." Then
the old man said he bad no money.
Frank replied : " I know you have
money of other people's." The old man
said he bad a few dollars, and got up,
went toward the door and wanted to go
put. We would not allow it, and then
he (Daniel) went to the window and
hoisted it. When he was done at the
window he walked to the bed and step,
ped on it. He got his guu and I retreat
ed and ran out of the house and turned
to the left. I looked back and saw Dan
iel Troutman behind me with the gun.
I went a few steps toward the fence and
climbed over it. Daniel Troutman shot
and I left myself fall. The shot missed
me. Frank Romberger told me he had
shot at the old man, Daniel Troutman,
and Frank said tbut we must get out of
this; I did not see Frank shoot, but I
heard the shot. Then we started for
home, and Frank got out of the carriage
above the railroad crossing at Lykei's.
We then parted. I went to Tower City;
we were up at Rchooflstall's saloon, Ly.
kens, on Haturdayi and planned the ex
pedition to rob the old man j we . lmd
talked together before about this rob
bery. Satisfied With Their Vote.
The Temperance Party seems to be
satisfied with their vote at the recent
election, as will be seen by the following
communication :
Another battle l over, and before preparing
our army for another conflict, It may help us,
to look over the battlefield and see what we
have gained or lost. To Judge whether Ibis
BtrngKle baa been for us or against as, It , Is
necessary flrt, ta Inquire what was the princi
ple object of thU campaign. It was not for
the immediate and Instant prohibition of the
liquor traffic. No Intelligent Toter for Oen.
Neal Dow, expected or dreamed that there was
the faintest hope of bis election. What then
was the object of this Prohibition vote t It
was to Increase the prohibition sentiment In
the public mind, and by continuous and per
sistent effort, eventually to have a majority In
favor of positive prohibition, like that now In
JKansas. Have we accomplished this direct
object, towards an ultimate purpose t If we
lave cast a smaller vote than four years ago,
when Smith was our standard-bearer, then we
may have lost this battle and It would be
wine In us to Inquire into the cause, and if
possible, to avoid such a mistake or blunder
In the future. It may be safely said that never
before was there so great an effort made by
both, Republican end Democratic parties, to
bring out all their vote, and keep their lines
unbroken. Never was money spent by them
more lavishly and never bad either party so
large a vote. It was therefore reasonable,
that lu the old Keystone many of those who
bad formerly, once or twice voted tbe Prohi
bition ticket should, In this unprecedented
whirlpool, be swallowed up by one or the other
of the great parties, that tbere should be many
like Btebblna and Passmore, who should,
through tbe glasses given them, see only Oar
field and like Bmltherman and others, see
only Ilancock. When 1 saw such old veterans
In our cause swallowed up by the whirlpool,
I fell that we might expect many newer con
verts to follow them. It was with some anxi
ety that I watched the returns, and bow
rejoiced was I, when the noise and smoke of
the battle cleared away, to find that our valiant
army numbered not less, but three hundred
and twenty-one more, than four years ago !
Thus we see we have, gained a good victory.
A victory made grand by the intensity aud
unexampled vigor of the great contending
parties. Well may we feel encouraged by
nuch a victory. Our votes were not thrown
away. They counted us an lucrense. Thus
we were rewarded.
Newton Peibcb.
A Woman Cremated at Washington, Pa.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 25. There
was a quiet cremation at Dr. LeMoyne's
furnace, the subject being Mrs. Lucia
Noyes, the wife of C. II. Noyes, a law-,
yerof Warren, Pa. The lady died on
the 21st of November, in her twenty
eight year. The body arrived here this
morning accompanied by Mr. Noyes,
who with his wife had pledged them
selves to cremate the one who died first.
There were religious servlces,after which
the body was placed in the retort. As
goon as the door was closed all took
their departure. A dense smoke was
then seen to issue from the chimney.
The ashes will be removed to-morrow.
A Relieved Man.
There was considerable circumstantial
evidence that John Shufelt murdered
his wife at North Egremont, Mass. She
disappeared very mysteriously, after
living very unhappily with him. A
track was found that looked as though
it had been made by dragging a body
from the house to a lake near by ; an old
boat was discovered concealed in some
bushes ; and it was believed that Shufelt
had sunk the remains in the water.
The lake was persistently dragged, but
the woman was not produced, and the
husband was necessarily discharged
from custody. Suspicion clung to him
however, only to be dispelled by the
positive proof that Mrs. Shufelt eloped,
and is still alive.
Counterfeit Butter.
Chicago, Nov. 17. The fact was de
veloped yesterday that large quantities
of a material which is called " butter,"
and sold as such on the market, is really
made of lard by a peculiar process,
known only to a few. One establish
ment in this city has been doing a pros
perous business for more than a year,
and has a trade so extensive that ship
ments are made to England. No effort
whatever is made at concealment. The
manufacturer is frank about it, and says
the compound is no more injurious than
pork. A large number of restaurants
are said to be using it as butter, and the
report is that other manufactories are to
be opened shortly.
A Trade In Carpet Bags.
A man darted Into a store at Nichols
ville, Ohio, bought the first traveling
bag he could get his hands on, and hur
ried toward the railroad station. On
the way he caught up several bricks
from a pile and put them into' the bag.
His object was understood when a fellow
passenger discovered that his own
satchel, containing $3,000, had been
L taken from tbe seat by his side, and the
one with bricks put in its place.
Terrible Poisoning Accident.
Knoxvillk, Tenn., November 23.
At a reception tendered Joel Hembree
and wife, at the residence of the bride's
father, Colonel Dail, near Kingston,
Boone county, amnio was used in mis
take for soda, and five persons have
died from the effects. About thirty
others are dangerously ill. Four more
will probably die.

beoome man and wife. Tbe idea met with
favor all around, and the wedding will
take place accordingly, each of tbe four
taking a different mate.
