for a term of fifty years. The fact that
the Pennsylvania company and Vander-bilt
have for more limn two years past
endeavored to secure control of it, at
various times started the rumor that the
road inul been bought by one or the

buy it outright, but this was refused anil

On Saturday night a number of Hun-garians
were having a drinking bout
witli beer and whisky as a jollification
over pay day ul the Valley coke works,
below Soolldale. There were ten men
and one woman in a large room iii one
of tiie tenement houses, and they were
in the midst of a grand carouse when a
j dark form appeared outside of one of
! the windows and began firing into the
party with a revolver. Five shots were
tired, none of which took effect, and the
frightened foreigners fled like a Hock of

self control they returned to the scene

son and the manner in which his body
was found was explained by the board-ing-
house keeper and his wife. From
Dr. Bigg’s testimony the jury were led Jo
believe that Ellison was an afflicted mor-tal,
the autopsy revealing the fact that
he had lung disease, kidney disease, en-largement
of the heart and a slight con-gestion
of the brain which might have
resulted from a blow and which would
have caused a sudden death. After the
identification of the dead man by his
brother, who said he eamo from Finland,
the Commonwealth closed, having failed
entirely to connect the prisoners with
the death of Ellison.

however, had failed to locate their line
when II. C. Frick heard of Hie applica-tion.

Coal and Iron Policeman Mascn was
summoned from hole by telegram on
Monday to assist Chief Kelley with

made out for two men named
James Boyle and Thomas McLtnuen, biit
they claim to be in entire ignorance of
the occurrence, having been at a dance
in a neighboring mining village at the
time ot (ho shooting. Medonck, tiie
boarding house keeper, has been an in-valid
for the past three or four months,
and tiie motive for the dastardly deed is
hard to imagine, as he lias only been
able to go about very recently.
When Policeman Kelley arrived at
tiie \ alley works Chief Kelley lmd Boyle
ns his prisoner at the company store. It
was determined by the officers to take
Boyle to the wounded man’s house, and
on the way there they succeeded in cap-turing
Mt-Einden. At Medouck’s house
some witnesses were heard concerning
the affray, and thence the party ad-journed
to Magistrate Biley’s office at
Everson. There wore fourteen persons
in the ’squire’s office, and from them the
Hungarian woman who was present dur-ing
the shooting identified Boyle and
Mel.inden as the par..y who did tiie
firing. The prisoners were committed
to jail at; Uniontown to await the result
of the injuries to Medonck, who was
still living Monday night.

AM Event Worthy of Historical IJote-A
Memento Worth Preserrlng.
At the close of the Thursday afternoon
session of the American Baptist Mission-ary
Union at Saratoga last week there
occurred an event worthy of historical
note. Rev. Dr. George Dana Bourdinan,
of Philadelphia, tho president, is tiie
son of the late Rev. Dr. George Dana
Boardmnn, the famous missionary, who
died and was buried in Burinuli, and lie
is also the stepson of the late Adoniram
Judson, prominently known in connec-tion
with missionary work. In a brief
“fid tender address lie presented to the
American Baptist Missionary Union a
gavel made of the sacred wood of Bur-nish,
where his father and stepfather
had labored for so many years. Inlaid
on one side of the gavel was a piece of
stone from the monument of the do-ceased
Boardmnn, and on the other side
was also inlaid a piece of wood from tiie
prison at Oung Perlin, Burmuh, where
deceased Judson was incarcerated by tiie
the Burmese. It was highly polished and
handsomely nnd appropriately inscribed.
The Missionary Union by a rising vote
returned its sincere thanks.

Narrsw Earape from Destruction of One
Texas End of Town.
On Wednesday morning last tlio resi-dents
of Texas were startled by an
alarm of fire. A rapid hurrying on of
clothes followed, aud when tho neighbors
arrived upon the scene a brigk little
oonUagraiion was in progress at Bark-ley’s
nows depot. By the application of
several barrels of rain wator which, vory
fortunately, were at hand tho fire was
quonched, though not before the side
and ond of the building was well
scorched. There bad been no fire ill tiie
store-room the night previous, and the
location of the tire points strongly to an
iuceiuliary origin. As there wqro a
number of families soundly asleep in
tho adjacent houses, there would have
been some ugly work had tho iiauies se-cured
a greater headway before their dis-covery.
Tho lire was first discovered 1 y

the drunken man was lodged in tho

THE whisky men meet with many dif-ficulties
in their efforts to evade the
payment of tax. About 200,000 barrels
of whisky are ready to be shipped to
Bermuda. They will be landed there
and immediately resliipped to tins
country, where they will be stored in
bonded warehouses as imported whisky,
and be subject to the payment of duty at
Die option of the owners. The facilities
for handling the whisky at Bermuda are
not very great, and the owners would
much prefer to send their whisky to
Canada. The regulations of the Domin-ion
Government concerning the size of
Die packages of whisky stood in the
way, and, though the Internal Revenue
Bureau modified its regulations so as to
facilitate Canada shipments, the whisky
men do not find it a convenient haven
for their bonded whisky if they liavo to
[nit it in large casks and unload it over
there. They wished to take the whisky
across the border in cars and return it
without unloading, but this, their sub-terfuge,
was too thin for the Treasury to
accede to. The larger part of the $80,-
000,000 taxes now on the whisky iu bond
will not fall due this year, and the next
Congress will be importuned like the
last to extend the time of paying the
tax, and thus avoid Die necessity of go-ing
through the farce of exporting and
importing the same whisky.
THE COLORLINE.
An influential New York journal taking
notcof tho difference between the Cauca-sian
and colored races, says: It is very
singificant that all attempts to unite
blacks and whites iu churches are more
and more unsuccessful, botli at the North
and tiie Soutli. Their failure, too, isduu
not less to tiie prejudices of the negroes
Dian to those of tiie whites. Iudeedi
colored Christians seem to bo even more
sot upon church separation than while
Christians. This would seem to be only
another illustration of tiie sort of disa-greement
which has so often been obser-ved
between mulattoes and negroes.
A report concerning the relations of
the Episcopal church to tiie colored peo-ple
of tho United States, which was last
week presented to the Virginia Episco-pal
Convention, advised that tiie negroes
be “encouraged to prepare for an orgatii
zation which will bo their own, subject,
of course, to tho General Convention,
but independent and separate.” And
among the committee who unanimously
signed that report were three colored
men.
Tiie separation proposed would not be
a division forced on tiie colored Episco
palians by their white brethren, but one
which is urgently asked for by the ne-groes
themselves. They do not feel at
home in the white churches and the
white ecclesiastical councils and conven-tions,
and do not have tho influence
there they wish to exert. They want an
organization which they can run tiiom-selvcs.
They prefer to have colored min
isters over them, and to worship in
churches which are distinctively for col-ored
Christians. Nor is the Episcopal
church tiie only one wherein negroes
are trying to make the color line broad-er.
It is the same among the Methodists
and tiie Baptists, the denominotions to
which the great mass of the colored peo-ple
belong; and the disposition toward
separation is about as marked here at the
North as it is at the South. Great efforts
have been made to bring tiie two races
together in the churches and schools of
those communions, but the tendency to
separation is now even stronger than it
ever was before.
It seems to be manifest that in all the
religious denominations where tiie ne-groes
are numerous, the necessity for
pretty complete separation ecclesiastical-ly
will soon be acknowledged, and
attempts to fight against it will be given
up. Tiie negroes will not bo easy until
they are by themselves, witli pastors of
their own race, and conventions, confer-ences,
and associations of their own
They want an African Episcopal Church,
an African Methodist Church, and to set

THE TRIBULATIONS OF A CZAR.
About the most unpleasant situation
to fill in this broad world of ours is that
of a Czar of Russia. Tiie salary and per-quisites
of tiie office are good, but there
are certain contingencies continually
arising that make it exceedingly difficult
to decide just liow long tiie occupant will
remain a Czar after lie has been made a
Czar. With tiie turbulent condition of
the population there lias arisen in tiie
ice-bound regions of Russia ft band of
men who are opposed to the Czar line of
business, and they have some very
striking ways of showing their disregard
for the candidate popularly believed to
have been raised to the position by di-vine
right. With their feelers extending
through every phasejof Muscovite society
the band resembles the octopus lying in
wait for its prey, and that it makes tilings
lively for tiie autocrat cannot bo gain-sayed.
Bike the policeman’s life, the
lot of a Czar is not a happy one, and
there are very few free-born American
citizens who would care to exchange
places with him. When lie arises In the
morning his hatli must be exumined to
see that no infernal machine has been
placed in a position to blow him sky-ward
during tiie night. After passing
through his toilet, his food must be tested
to bo certain that his dreaded foe has
mixed no deadly poison with tiie edibles.
When lie goes out for an airing guards
must so surround him as to pre-clude
tho possibility of tho hurling
of a nihilistic bomb at his royal frame.
At every movement, in every action
whether awake or asleop, the greatest
vigilance must be exerted to prevent tiie
expenses attendant upon tiie inaugura-tion
of a new Czar, who will take tiie
place of tiie old one lying cold in death
and in sections by nihilistic influence.
Oil, It isn't a glorious thing
To be il ltussiun King.
Tho crowning of Die new Czar last
week was only accomplished by the most
vigorous efforts. Should lie desire to
promote liis health, bis best way to do
it is to so live and reign that the abuses
which have given rise to tiie nihilistic
party shall disappear and with their dis-appearance
the great power of the king
destroyers will rapidly wane.
A QUESTION OF BERTHS.
A Philadelphia journal says it is tlie
uniform dog-in-the-manger policy of
sleeping car companies to have their
porters lower each upper berth at night,
whether occupied or not, so that Die
person having Die lower berth shall not
enjoy more fresh air and comfort than
lie or she paid for. The object, no doubt,
is to make it necessary for anyone who
must have a whole section to pay nc-a
irdingly, but this he would have to do
anyhow to tr.uke sure of a section if it
were tiie custom to keep the upper
berths down only when sold. The Illi-nois
Legislature has now before it a bill
which lias passed one branch, providing
that any person paying for n double
lower bertli in a sleeping car “shall have
Die right to snv whether the upper berth
shall bo opened or closed until such up-per
berth is actually sold and occupied,”
and that, thereupon, it shall be the duty
of Die conductor or porter "to comply
witli the request of such person or per-sons.”
This is denounced by Die sleep-ing
car people as a measure to force Diem
to furnish a passenger with two berths
for tho price of one. It is, however,
only compelling tiie sleeping-car com-panias
to give each passenger a little
more air when they have it to spare and
can do so without it costing them any-thing.
It is also, we believe, the custom for
porters to insist upon making up the
upper berth when tiie passenger pity8for
the whole section. Since Die recent
burning of a sleeper, and the narrow es-cape
of passengers from deatli by the
flames, a new element of danger has
been developed. Tiie testimony of one
of Dio passengers was to the effect tlmt
the origin of the fire was evidently from
the overturning of a lamp by the porter,
who must have been asleep, and that
they do sleep most profoundly we have
personal and ocular proof. The curtains
should be of less inflammable material,
and the traveling public which pays ex-tra
fur Die accommodation of sleeping
should receive some assurance that they
will not be roasted to deatli through the
negligeuco of employees.

NEW DEPARTURE ON LAND GRANTS.
It is comfortable to observe signs of a
new departure from the policy, which
lias prevailed iu the Interior Department
for many years, of handling the public
lands for tiie benefit of Die railway cor-porations.
Tiiero is vast room for im-provement
in this matter. In the light
of past events iu tho department, tiie
recent summons of Secretary Teller to
the Union Pacific Railway to pay up
some of the millions it owes tiie govern-ment,
will sound in the ears of the land
grant capitalists line the most destructive
communism. It is followed by a de-cision
which many of them will regard
as a direct assault upon vested rights,
and as unconstitutional as the proposi-tion
to let the people of Pittsburg vote
on tiie form of their own government.
The modest claim of tho Northern
Pacific road that the lands in the indem-nity
limits shall be closed to tiie public
was the subject of this decision. Con-gress,
after giving up to tiie road halfthe
land for an extent of 40 miles on each
side of its track, afterwards enacted that
if there were any deficiencies in tiie
limit of the grant it might go 10 mites
beyond tiie line, and yet again made a
second indemnity extension of 10 miles
further. Although the Northern Pacific
grant lapsed four years ago, that roail is
now making the cool request that the In-terior
Department keep the public off
from this entire strip of land until it has
leisure to make its indemnity selections!
In his refusal of this request the Sec-retary
commits the startling innovation
■pon tho departmental policy and meth-ods
ot asserting that he “considers it his
duty so to adjudge the statutes as to give
the public as well as tiie corporations all
the rights and privileges granted by the
laws.” lie actually goes further, and
shows that lie lias obtained a compre-hension
of the truo bearing of the pub-lic
land question, by saying: “I cannot
shut my oyes to the fact that vast areas
of lands (public, except for the right of
selection) lying within the indemnity
limits are barred to settlement, and that
the area of arable lands open to settle-ment
is not great when compared with
ih s increasing demand, and is rapidly
diminishing.” He finally gives the rail-roads
a warning not to any longer abute
the withdrawals that have been made,
or they may find them revoked.
RIGHTS OF WAY.
A Further OlnriiNilmi of the GeurRtt null
Injuries Inrlilelit to Hullrofid Grant*.
MT. PLEASANT, May 2!), 1883.
To the Editors of Tun .JOURNAL.
Tho law contemplates placing n party
in tho sumo condition after a tiamagd as
before it, or as nearly as possible.
According to the abovo principle we
should eai'ofully conifaro the damaged
farm with tiie farms immediately sur-rounding
it, previous to the nonstruetio
of tho railroad, ami then compare it with
the same farms after tho railroad was
constructed. By this method we may
correctly estimate tho damage sustained.
It tho damaged farm would sell for as
much before the l-niiroail was constructed
as other farms in the same neighborhood
then it should do thesamo tiling alter the
railroad was constructed, or whatever it
lacked should bo made up by a just com-pensation.
If tlio damaged farm, before
the railroad was constructed, advanced
as rapidly in value as tiie farms adjoin-ing
it, then it should increase in a like
ratio after the construction of tho rail-road,
or whatever it lacked should be
mado up by an adequate compensation.
If tho railroad occupied four or live
aeros of land a full and adequate coin
pensatlon should lie tnnde for this, not
in benefit but iu cash, ns the law recog-nizes
nothing but iogal tender or cash in
tho payment of dobts unless tlioro is an
especial agreement to that effect. If
there were three or four hundred panels
of fonco necessitated hy the construction
of tlio railroad, enough should lie paid
for this to cover tho expense of material,
construction and repair us long as tiie
riiLroml had an existence.
To givo an idoa of the bonefit plan of
computing tlio damage done on a farm
by the construction of a railroad through
it we will iilustruto by supposing A has
lost five acres of land in this way, worth
four hundred dollars per acre, necessita-ting
tho construction of four hundred
panels of fenco at an expense of two
dollars and fifty cents per panel, making
the damage done tiie farm three thousand
dollars; tlio farm was worth nine thou-sand
dollars before tiie railroad was
constructed, but now it is worth twelve
thousand dollars. I! lias a farm adjoin-ing
A’s which has sustained no duinago
and was wortli previous to the construe
tion of the railroad, nine thousand dol
lars, but now it is worth fifteen thousand
dollars. In this caso A pays three thou
sand dollars for the advancement of his
farm in value to that amount, while B,
for the advancement of liis farm in value
to the amount of six thousand dollars,
pays nothing. Now if we can compel A
to pay lor the benefit, why can we not
compel 11 to pay, as lie derived doublo
the benefit A did and less annoyanco
from the railroad.
According to the Constitution of tho
United Statos the power to take private
property has but two limitations; one of
these is that the property must be taken
for public purposes, and tho other
is a full and adequate compensation
must bo made, not iu bouetit, but in
cash. S. >S.

A lllnlrsvllli- Man Who PropoMU to Hun
Machinery Ily Weights.
Captain Eli Wnngnmon, of Blnirsville
is n man whose future greatness will
cause tlie shades of Fallow, Morse, Edi-son
and others to turn green witli envy.
The captain himself was found teclining
on a couch in tlie office of his workshop
one day last week by an inquisitive cor-respondent
who had heard that the Cap-tain
was the discoverer of a wonderful
plan for propelling machinery, lie is a
man of fine physique, quick, sharp eye,
high, massive forehead and classic fea-tures.
He is rather talkative, lint seemed
to prefer almost any other subject to that
of his new invention. Iiis office is full
of mementoes of tlie late war, lie having
been a captain, by which title lie is fa-miliarly
known. He takes great pride
in showing Ids commission from the old
war Governor, Curtin, and also a com- j
mission as majoi-in-brevct, signed bv
President Johnson and Edwin M. Ktan-ton.
He participated in all the principal
battles fought by the Army of tlie I’oto-mac,
was wounded in the Wilderness
and received Ins promotion to the ma-jorship
for bravery. He has a sword in
Ids possession that lie took from the
rebel general Ramsey, and also a tin cup
lie used while in Libby prison.
l:i understand, captain, that you have
solved tlie great problem of perpetual
motion."
"As to that," replied Hie captain,'! do
not pretend to have discovered the secret
of perpetual motion in tlie general ac-cepted
sense, namely, that a tiling can
move by its own power, but I claim that
I can apply power to machinery on an
entirely new and different principle than
any now used to generate motion, such
as the spring and steam, by using the
most powerful of the physical forces,
namely, the lever. The power is gener-ated
altogether by weight. As engines
aro made large or small, according to the
horsepower required, I apply or take
away weight to regulate tho required
power in mv motor.” How long have
‘Ever
since I was twelve years of age. I got
my first idea from a Harlow knife while

‘nninilily peg.’ I have at. least a carl-load
of models, besides a great number
I destroyed. Though 1”—lie added, by
way of a sly dig at those who go crazy
over the perpetual motion racket—"have
never lost a night's rest nor a single
meal,” Can your new power be practi-cally
applied to all kinds of machinery?
"It can lie applied to everything station-ery
from a sewing machine to a rolling-mill,
but not to railroads or highways,

Perhaps tho most practical, convenient,
and complete publication on gunning
and fishing, and their various auxiliaries
ever printed, is thoono recently issued
by the Passungor Department of the
Philadelphia. Wilmington and Haitimoro
Railroad Coi..pany. Practical in that it
not only informs in concise terms wliero
the sovoral kinds of game ilsli and birds
may be sought to best advantage, lint
how to re tell such places in the choapest
and most expeditions manner, including
not only tho rail, hut, tvhero necossary,
the stage and wagon lines, with cost.
Convenient in being reduced to pocket
sizo, and in the arrangement of tho mat-tor
IImlor different heads, so that tho
reader in search of itdvlco regarding a
certain fish, duck, or Idrd will find it in
a special chapter describing its haunts,
habits and peculiarities.
Complete from tho fact that it takes in
tlie entire peninsula, which contains
Delaware and tho eastern shores of Mary-land
tmd|\r!rgtuia, from the Chesapeake
lo tlie Atlantic coast. Tlie kinds and
cost of bait, proper and legal seasons of
tlie year, cost of wagon or other trans-portation,
location of principal hotels
and boarding lionsos, and a'l informa-tion,
such as tlmso unacquainted with
the country would like to know before
leaving home for such a trip, have been
carefully examined into and noted.
The hook is profusoly illustrated with
cuts of fish and birds, and also contains
a splendid map of this territory. ZZZ

Agent, Philadelphia.
IIOIT to Clean Wall Paper.
As tlie Indies are now very busy clean-ing
liouso, a few words in relation to clean-ing
tlie paper on walls may not bo out of
order. To clean wall paper lake off Hie
dust witli a soft cloth. Willi a little
(lour and water make a lump of stiff
dough, and rub tho wall gently down-ward,
taking the length of the arm each
stroke, and in tliis way go round tlie
whole room. As the dough becomes
dirty, cut the soiled parts off. In the
second round commence tlie stroke a
little above where the last one ended,
and be very careful not to cross tho pa-per
or to go up again. Ordinary papers
cleaned in this way will look fresli and
bright, and almost as good as new. Some
papers, however, and those most expen-sive
ones, will not clean nicely, and in
order to ascertain whether a paper can
lie cleaned nicely it is best to try it in
some obscure corner, where it will not
bo noticed if the result is unsatisfactory.
If there be any broken places in tlie
wall, lill them up witli a mixture of
equal parts of plaster of paris and silver-sand,
made into a paste witli water; then
cover tlie place with a piece of paper
like tlie rest, if it can bo had.

way.” When do you intend to apply for
a patent ? ‘Just as soon as I ran get it
completed.” But I understood, captain,
that you had it completed. “Well, as to
that, I have everything finished except
one minor part, and that is a way to
stop it. 1 do not want to employ any
device that is now in use to stop ma-chinery,
but want to use something new
so that my motor will not savor of any-thing
ancient. However, if an idea I
have at present does not work I shall
employ the brakes.”
Have yon tested the power and tem-poral
motion of tho new invention?
“I did as far as my last completed
model would allow. It kept in motion
for four days tlie first time it was started,
and the second time, being attached to a
grindstone, it ran for six days, when it
stopped on account of one of Hie fine
pivots wearing out. As to the power, I
could not stop it by catching witli both
hands on to the main shaft and holding
with all iny strength. Tliis power was
generated by six pound weights.” Your
correspondent was here shown a number
of parts of the machine, one of which
wa3 tlie most unique piece of mechanism
lie ever saw, Tliis was intended for the
taking up of all lost motion and for
overcoming that action in machinery
called by engineers “a dead centre.” It
also enabled the machine to start at any
joint.
What is the probable cost of tho con-struction
of your machine ?
"Not more than fifty' dollars, at least.
One to run a threshing machine will not
cost any more than that amount, and
mere than that tlie construction is so
simple that any ordinary mechanic can
build one. The captain here arose from
his couch and entered a small ante-chamber,
beckoned the correspondent
to follow, which lie did, with his curios-ity
excited to about twenty-nine degrees
in the shade, and his expectations on
tiptoe that he was going to see something
new under the sun. Temporarily men-ding
tlie broken pivot, the captain laid
several pound weights on the extreme
end of a lever and away the machine
started; there at last was tlie veritable
perpetual motion, a tiling moving itself
by itself, or, if you will, a man standing
in a tub and lifting himsjlf up by tlie
handles. It was indeed a very simply
constructed machine but at tlie same
time a veritable “What is it,1
be seen to be understood. “Stop it,”
said tlie captain, with a smile of satisfac-tion.
The scribe here plied both hands
vigorously to the main shaft, but bail
not power enough to do so. The weights
were then removed and Hie mill stopped.
Tell me one tiling more, captain, and I
have done. What is it that makes tlie
thing go? “Ha! Im ! ha!” laughed the
captain, “that’s the secret that I have yet
told no man, but in a few mouths you
shall sue what y .o shall see.”
If It Could Be Applied to Oven*.
Among the recent applicants for pat-ents
is olio for the abatement of tho smoke
nuisance. It is a device which is at once
simple, inexpensive and easily introdu-ced,
and lias boon on trial for over two
weeks. Tho oxhaust stoam-pipe of the
engine is connected with a perforated
metallic frame closely fitted to the inte-rior
of the chimney or smoke-stack, thus
forcing the steam and smoke through
the same opening. The smoke passing
through a volume of steam is clarified
and all heavy substances aro precipita-ted
imo tiic furnace or crucible, only tho
colorless gasses escaping. It is claimed
that by tho introduction of this apparatus
to any engine using steam power tlie
draught of tho chimney may bo consid-erably
increased and a saving of fuel
amounting to at least 25 percent obtained.
Piles are frequently preceded by
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of tho abdomen, causing tho
patient to suppose lie has some attention
of tlie kidneys or noighooring organs.
At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present, as ilatueney, uneasiness of tlie
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspir-ation,
producing a very disagreeable
itching, particularly at night alter get-ting
warm in bod, is a very common at-tendant.
Internal, Mxternal and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Hosanko’s Pile Itemody, which acts
directly upon tlie parts atfectod, absorb-ing
tlie Tumors, allaying tlie intense
itching, and elici ting a permanent euro

An incident of the visit of tlie royal

of Lome, recently made to Boston, is
quite striking. At tlie Brunswick lun-cheon
given by bis Royal Highness, the
gallant Mayor liliaiiced to be chatting
quite briskly witli the royal lady as tlie

absent-mindedly dropped sugar and
cream into the cup placed by the waiter
for the Mayor. “This is your Highness’s
coffee,” said tlie distressed waiter, point-ing
to tlie cup placed for her. Her High-ness
asked his Honor’s pardon and beg-ged
that a fresh cup might be brought.
Mayor Palmer seized quickly his oppor-tunity
and gallantly said; "I beg you

On Inst Saturday night about D o'clock
Mr. Philip Walker, a wealthy resident | evening
of Somerset township, Somerset county,
heard some parlies trying to forcean ei -
trance into his house through the rear
door. Grouping a revolver ho descended
! tho stairs and took his station just inside
the door about three' or four atop# above
tho landing. The parties, after trying to
f.»rc(* the holt off the door by a steady
push, and finding that unavailing, un-dertook
logsiii an entrance through a
window. Being balked here they hi Id
a whispered eonsiiltuti. il, and thou
cuslied violently against tho door, which
was fastened on the inside by an iron
bar about a foot in length and a wooden
pin. The bar was jarred out on the
second or third attempt and one of tho
men jumped into tin' hall, when Walker
fired three shots in rapid succ'eMsiou.
Tlio parties turned and rm in opposite
directions, and Walker, being fearful
that if ne emptied all the chambers of
bis revolver they might return, refrained
from further shooting. There was no
one in the house at tin* time but Walker
ami bis sick wife, bis son Austin, a young
man twenty-two years of agn, and the
balance of the family being at < Lurch in
I lie village of Lnvansville, about two
miles away. When tho son returned
Walker demanded to know who was
then* before admitting him. Tho hoy
was told what had happened and was
sent to the house of a neighbor named
Queen for assistance. The Queens had
not returned from church and later the
hoy was sent back, but they were still
absent.
On Sunday morning at daylight tbe
Walkers discovered tho dead body of
W. II. II. AIFler lying face downward
alongside of a sugar camp about twenty
Catholic comrades of the Grand Army of
