rtttlt&I VOL. 20 EDITORIAL MOTES. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND CO., PA., TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1898. \ JUBOE RAYBURN .1 doubtlesB had good legal grounds' for refusing to admit Jacob Kromer tip ball, but Its safe to say that tlie learned) Armstrong county jurist narrowly escap'd a bad attack of rattleB when so sore’ (Brassed by Captain Kee-nan at Thu JBy’a Kittanning hearing in the habercjBrpus case. Now is the time to tell whether the committee Fiat placed the aro street lamps made- mistakes or if Council did not contract for enough lights. There should be nc “robbing of Peter to pay Paul” about the settlement of this ques-tion. If there too few lamps, get more. IT is said that J. Plerpont Morgan, the great New York banker, who sailed last week tor Europe, went as Secretary Car-lisle’s agent negotiate a loan of $50,- 000,000 for the Government. Why, the Treasury must be running low. IF the people of this state really want their country roads improved they must expect to pay for It. It can’t be done, even under the provisions or Senator Brown’s sensible bill, without money and lots of it. SHERIFF GOOD oughtn’t to expect a man like Bill Pritte, an acknowledged moonshiner and an alleged murderer, to be at home when an officer with a war-rant calls. William is growing older, but not foolish. FOR the kind of property there is about Swissvale. on which the Provisional brigade lay during the Homestead trou-ble, the bill tor $3,000 damages, demanded of the state by the owners, seems a trifle high. ______ UNIONTOWN is probably not any wick-eder than her neighboring towns, but in permitting the sin to find her out Is an almost unpardonable offense in the eyes of the world. ITS all the nicer in speaking of the Standard shaft model to be able to add that it was built by a combination ot Mount Pleasant’s brain and brawn. IF the amount of the Smith-Brudewold Glass Company’s liabilities is only $1,200, the people of Hammondvillc have no reason to feel alarmed. A MODEL OF THE MODEL THE STANDARD SHAFT IN MINIUM FOR THE WORLD’S Fill. ROUGH ON HAMMONDVILLE. The Smitii-Brndewald OIRII Company Make* an Assignment. The Smith Brudewald Glass Compa-ny, of Pittsburg, operating a large glass plant at Hammondville, in Bullskin township, Fayette county, made an as-signment for the benefit of creditors Tuesday last and the papers were placed on file in the Register and Recorder’s of-fice at Uniontown the next day. Joseph P. Reed,of Pittsburg, has been made the assignee and liia acceptance is filed with the other papers in the case. The creditors are all Pittsburg parties and no judgments or mortgages have been filed in Fayette county. The company’s property in Fayette consists of a large glass plant and two acres of ground at Hammondville. There is considerable stock on hand and it will be sold at assignee’s sale, C. N. L. Brudewald, the manager, says that certain parties who had claims wanted their money before it could be realized, and to save the firm and the creditors an assignment was made to J. P. Reed, of Pittsburg. The liabilities amount to only $1,200, and the assets are over double the amount. The company will resume as soon as some legal for nudities are gone through with. Thousands of People From Far and Near Gather to See the Beautlfh! Piece of Work Ere It Is Sent as the H. C. Frick Coke Company’s Princi-pal Exhibit at the Columbian Expo-sition. In 1885 Robert Ramsay began the erection of a new shaft for the H. C. Frick Coke Company at its great Stand ard worke, the largest of its kind in the world. He was not only the designer, but every detail of the work was done under his personal supervision. No ex-pense wae spared in either the construc-tion or equipment and when, the follow-ing year, the shaft was placed in opera-tion it at once became the “Model of the Regionand right well has it merited the name, for, it soon won and Btill holds the world’s beet coal hoisting record. Nor is it to be wondered at that even the modest builder felt prouder still when several years ago a party of Eu rope’s leading mining engineers esme here and acknowledged that they had never seen its equal. And it was only natural that the company, destring to exhibit a working model of one of its numerous plants in this region, should choose Standard for that honor. Mr. Ramsay again drew the plans on which work was begun just a year ago. As already stated in THE JOURNAL, the model, which includes the shaft proper, tipple, bins, engine, boiler and power houses, blacksmith and carpenter Bhopa, a block of sixty lour coke ovens, four tenement houses, railroad and tarry tracks, larries and pit wagons, is scaled to one-twenty-fourth the actual size, the whole having been placed on a stand that is sixty-four feet long, fifteen feet wide and three and one-half feet high. It was completed Friday last when the doors of the work shop were thrown open to the public, and the public wasn’t at all backward about showing its apprecia-tion of the builder’s kind permission. Thousands of people, not only from Mount Pleasant and vicinity, but from all over the region gathered to see and admire this work of art. The building was crowded from early morn until late at night. The visitors on Sunday num-bered between two and three thousand. The exhibition will close this after-noon when the model will be taken all apart in sections preparatory to being shipped to the World’s Fair at Chicago where it will be placed in the second story of the Mines and Mining building with a model of the steel Bhaft at Leis-enring No. 3 and a map of the region. There the shaft, which is a fraction less than thirteen feet deep, will be added and as it will show on the first floor will doubtless of itself attract attention to the exhibit. There also asbestos will be pla-ced in the ovens and fired with gas. Behind the glass panels in the sides of the stand the finest samples of coke will be stacked so that if World’s Fair visit-ors don’t learn how coal is turned into that most useful fuel it won’t be the fault of the Frick people. Suspended over the whole exhibit will be a 32 foot sign on either side of which, in letters made of coke and placed on a velvet background, it will read : : H. C. FRICK COKE OO. : . CONNEI.LSVII.LK COKE. : DRIVEN TO SUICIDE. A. Greene County Farmer Hangi Himself on Learning His Wife Loved Another. On Thursday morning last the body of Lindsey Sappington, a respected and well-to do young Greene county farmer, was fonnd hanging to tree near his h “me, four miles Bouth of Waynesburg. He had been married a little over a week to Maggie Johnson, aged 17, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Wade, in Wayne town ship. A few days after their marriage he overheard bis wife telling her mother that she would not have married him if Bbe could have got a certain other young man. This was a heavy blow and he was completely crushed. Last Monday he went to Waynesburg. Before leaving home be gave all the money he had to his wife and also some notes he held. He then bade her good bye. Monday evening about dark his horse was found in the road not far from his home stripped of the saddle and bridle. The young man’s father and party of neighbors finally instituted search with the result stated. The young man had removed the strap from the bridle and, climbing up the tree tied one end to a limb and with the other end formed a noose which he placed over his head and Bwung off. WANTS HER SHAKE. Mrs. Muck Files » #100,000 BUI In Kqul ty Against tile Fuyctic Gas Co. A Dill In equity was filed in the Pitts burg courts last week by Rebecca R Mack against A. W. Mellon and the Fay ette Gas Fuel Company. The plaintiff claims part ownership in land held by the defendants, and wants her share of the profits of natural gas taken from it, asserting there is about $100,000 due her. She states that she owns a one-half in tereet in 28 acres of land In German township, Fayette county. The other half interest is held by the defendants In the last two years, she says, the de-fendants have obtained natural the land to the value She has received^ It is not at all likely that very many of the hundreds of thousands who will see the model at the great fair will be able to appreciate the fact that it cost about $12,000 and represents the work of seven men for a year. The wood work, to which it owes so much of its beauty, was make under the personal supervis ion of David Patterson who had for his able assistants Samuel Bungard, Elmer Billings and George Walters, the last named mechanic having made the bins and pit wagons. Messrs. Patterson and Bungard will leave the latter part of this week for Chicago to set the model in place at the fair. Later on they will be relieved by others who took part in the erection. The miniature of the big automatic rams that stand at the top of the tipple and drive the full wagon off and the empty wagon on the waiting cage is the handiwork of James Wilson, and a more delicately adjusted or neater piece of machinery would indeed be hard to find. Morris Ramsay, a son of the designer and builder of the original shaft, is but a boy in years, being only 19 years old and yet he has inherited in a remarkable degree the mechanical genius of his father. He is the builder of the beauti ful nickie-plated engines that run as smoothly as the works of a watch and make very little more noise. Its a ques tion which takes the more honest pride in the pretty machine, father or son. There is still another Scotch lad whose honest eyes take on a brighter sparkle whenever they rest on the model— Charley Fletcher who, with the assistance of John Shindle, James Cox and Bert Bobbs, did all the painting. When one considers that a full sized brick In a wall shows a surface of but 8x2 inches and that those laid out with the brush are but one-twenty-fourth those dimensions some faint idea of these faithful painters’ work can be gained. Everything about the model, except the electric lights, was made here. All the machinery and fittings, except the piston rods on the engines which are Btee), are made of brass and nickel plat ed. The ovens are of cast iron. The Westinghouse company supplied the lights in keeping with the scale. The bill is not in yet, but that it won’t be trifling sum can be guessed at from the fact that one of the diminutive lamps costs three times as much as those of or-dinary 16-eandle power.

BREEZY DIVORCE SUIT OVER WHICH HNIONTOWN’S UPPER-CRUSI DF SOCIETY IS ALL AGOG. Mrs. Jacob A.Strickler Wants to he Separated From Her Husband on Ac-count ofCruelty and Infidelity, While lie Claims Dr. W. II. Hameraley Alter Curing His Wife Physically Won Her Heart. Uniontown society Is said to be con-siderably exercised over proceedings In a divorce suit that have |ust been insti-tuted by Mrs. Mary F. Strlc’ ler, who is a daughter of Amos S. Bowlby, a wealthy real estate dealer and retired merchant of that place. The defendant, Jacob Arthur Strlckler, is a prosperous young business man, the junior member of the well-known shoe firm of Conwell & Strickler. Mrs. Strickler Biles for a sep-aration on the grounds of infidelity and cruelty, and names a well known wom-an ns the co-respondent In the case. In his answer to these charges Strickler also charges Infidelity, and names Dr. W. H. Hamersley as the co-respondent. The causes leading up to this unhappy state of affairs aro said to be these: Mr. Strickier married Miss Bowlby aboutsix years ago. To all appearances they lived happily together in her parents’ home until they separated a short time since. Since the ease has come to light it ap-pears they have been estranged for al-most two years. The trouble began during Mrs. Stickler's illness three years ago. Her family physician had given up hope that she would recovery. Dr. Hamersley was called in. He frank-ly told her family that her’s was almost a hopeless case, and that her only chance for recovery depended upon a dangerous operation. They consented to have it performed. Dr. Uamersly undertook the operation and succeeded. For weeks she lay between life and death, and Dr. Dixon, of ffittsburg, was at last called in consultation. He agreed with Dr. Hamersley in Ills treat-ment. Mrs. Strickler recovered, and from that time she looked upon Dr. Hamersley as her rescuer. Strickler al-leges that from that time his wife’s af-fectiou for him ceased. He frequent ly remonstrated with her about her visits to the doctor’s office. She did not desist. A Bhort time alter the operation Dr. Hamersley went to Philadelphia and, it is alleged, wrote to Airs. Strickler to come to him. When she told he husband of her intention to go to him ngain he advised her to stay at home. Fmding her determined to go, he offer-ed to uccompany her, but she would not listen to her proposition, declaring she would go alone. She went. It is charged by Strickler that Dr. Hamersley secured adjoining rooms for hlinself and Mrs. Strickler at the hotel, and registered her as ills sister. Mr, Strickler learned of tills and again remonstrated with his wife. Gradually the estrangement grew until the breach became too wide to be closed. One day, when Mr. Strickler went home, he found his trunk and other ef-fects set out on the street. He then went to a hotel and has lived there alone since. Dr. Hamersly is a prominent Uniontown physician who came there from Philadelphia four years ago. It is said lie was married some years ago to a Philadelphia lady, from whom he was subsequently divorced. The case will not be tried in court, butwill go before a master this week. It Is said in behalf of Mrs. Strickler and Dr. Hamersley that her visit to him in Philadelphia was merely of a professional nature. SENATOR BROWN’S ROAD BILL. Provision* of tlie Measure That 1* Likely to Become a State Law. The Road bill of Senator Brown, of Westmoreland, was amended on third reading Tuesday last and is now ready for Anal passage. Should it become a law each township will annually, at the February election, elect a road supervi-sor, who shall receive $2 for each day served and give a bond of $3,000. At the next November election a county super-visor is to be elected for each county for a term of three years, who shall be a supervisor or civil engineer, with aprac tical knowledge of making roads. For this office the county surveyor is eligi-ble. The county supervisor’s salary is to be fixed by the towaBbip supervisors. These officials shall meet and set apart certain roads as public highways, and proceed at once to macadamize or pave one-half of each highway, giving tax-payers preference as laborers thereon. The funds necessary are to be procured by an 8-mlll tax on all property taxable for county purposes, a poll tax of $1 upon each male over 21 years old, suplemen-ted by a state appropriation of $3,000,- 000, to be distributed on the basis of tbe number of miles thus improved. It is claimed that this bill will pass both houses and meet the Governor’s ap-val. GRERDY REPUBLICANS. ONLY AN EXPERIMENT BUT IT MAY REVOLUTIONIZE THE MAN-UFACTURE OF COKE. It I» Said They are Reaching Ont After All Cambria C'onnty’fl Office*. Republican leaders in Cambria county, not satisfied with about half the offices, are said to have held a conference at Johnstown Tuesday, when a plan was formulated to make the whole county surely Republican. It was decided that a large number of colored workmen would be imported into the county this summer, and at the fail election they will all be voted for the Republican ticket. Tbe success of tbe plau is assured, and will be carried out by those developing tbe Black Lick coal region. Judge Bar-ker and other leading Republicans con-trol tbe developments there, and it is said 'hey will employ nothing but color-ed labor. The contractor on the new Black Lick road will also be induced to employ colored men. In addition, tbe bosses at tbe Cambria Iron works at Johnstown are to be utilized by the par-ty managers in making this scheme ma-terialize, and they will be asked to die miss foreign laboring men and employ negroes whose votes can be controlled. Superintendent Robert Ramsay, of the Frick Company's Standard Works, Not Discouraged W ith One Failure, Will Again Try to Utilize the Waste From the Ovens For tlie Purpose of Steam Making. When it is remembered that in the manufacture of coke fully one-third of the coal Is burned away, the study prac-tical operators give to the subject of try-ing to utilize that great waste Is easy of explanation. Yet so far the question remains unsolved. Some five or six years ago Robert Ramsay, superintendent of the H. C. Frick Coke Company’s Standard plant, tried placing a boiler immediate over the ovens. The arrangement made plenty of steam, but was abandoned owing to the fact that the great jieat from the ovens melted tbe brick lining about the boiler and would soon have destroyed the boiler itself. Last week two large boilers and a 50- foot stack were sent here to the same gen-tleman to make further experiments of his theory, in speaking of which to a JOURNAL representative Mr. Ramsay said: "I was not at all discouraged with the failure of my first attempt and still believe my idea is practical. If successful will result in a saving to the company at this plant alone ot at least $35 a day; for, we use some forty tons of coal daily for steam purposes. I Intend to place these two boilers at right angles to and Borne llttls distance away from a line of bank ovens, with the stack at the farther end. Between the boilers and ovenff, running parallel to the latter, will be built a long due, some-thing like 2x3 feet in size. From each of probably 30 ovens a smaller chimney passage will lead Into the main flue that will be so connected to rnn the draught all the ovens so joined together through under the boilers to the stack. It successful the number of boilers can easily he increased to meet the require-ments of the entire plant.”. BILL PKITTS STILL AT LARGE. Sheriff Gaud's I.Ittle Tip Gets Him Nath-lug But a Tireiome Trip. Bill Pritts, the smooth old Somerset county moonshiner, is still at large, but is believed to be in his old haunts. A quiet tip was given SheriffGoodtheother day that William, who is wanted for the murder of old man Hoet9ttler, could easily be found at his home in the mountains if an effort was made at the proper time.J Tbe sheriff at once laid planB to cap-ture bind. In company with Officer Gilbert he left Somerset and went to Rockwood. There they were met by Constable Duport and William Deeter. The quartette then hired a team and spring wagon and headed for the moun tain. All were armed with Winchesters. They quietly surrounded the Pritts’ do micile in the darkness and demanded admittance. Mrs. Pritts finally come to the door and, although she was surpris ed at the call, offered no objection to the useless search. Bill wasn’t there. COMERS AND GOERS. Historical Society For Fayette. A number of local historians are mak-ing an effort to organize a Fayette coun-ty historical acutely which will collect relics of Fort Necessity, Braddock’s and Washington’s expeditious, Jumonyllle’s battle and the rare books sud papers of local interest.

Woods it Co.’s works near Fayette City, and when tbe mines closed down last summer he had dug 510 bushels of coal which were not loaded and hauled out until operations were resumed recently. Theprice for mining in the meantime was reduced from 3 to 21 cents, and the com-pany, claiming that it was the custom to pay the new price for coal that had been mined before a stoppage, a That I* Worrying the East Hnntlngdon Township School Board. The late Lyman R. Fretts was a Dem-ocratic member of the East Huntingdon township school board and following his death last tall the board filled the va-cancy by the election of Milton Stoner, a Republican, to serve out Mr. Fretts’ un-expired term. Believing, that, under State Superintendent Waller's ruling, this was the proper thing to do, the Re-publicans made no nomination for the place at the February election. The Democrats, however, held that Mr. Sto-ner could serve only until the next gen-eral election and nominated A. J. Will-iams, of Ruffedale, for the office and as he bad no opposition they declared him elected. Mr. Williams presented his certificate of election at a late meeting of the board, but that body refused to accept it and as Mr. Stoner refused to get out there was no room for “Andy” who will now resort to legal measures to compel the board to give him his seat. A FIFTY CENT FRAUD. He Collects That Amount From Victims For Their World’s Fair Pictures. A smooth-tongued young man is said to have lately been working the people of the rural districts of this county with a scheme that, however, unreasonable it may seem, has caught manv a victim. The manipulator represents that he is an agent collecting photographs fora Chi-cago concern whose artists make fine crayon pictures of them. All the fellow asked was the small sum of 50 cents to pay postago, etc. One of the crayons—and there were to be two— was to be hung in the art gallery at tbe World’s Fair, ana the other would be returned to the party who furnished the picture and paid the 50 cents. It Is said that the scamp reaped a rich harvest, particularly about Latrobe and Derry Everybody seemed to want his picture in the lair buildings. The victims are sorry now that they invested. They have since heard the fellow was a fraud IRWIN POSTOFFICE ROBBED. Burglars Make a Nice Little Haul by Blowing Opeu tire Safe. The postofllce at Irwin was entered at about 3 o’clock 3uuday morning, the Bafe wrecked by a heavy explosion and $625 worth of postage stamps, ten regis-tered letters sud $160 In money were carried away by burglars. The tremen dous concussion of the big charge with which the cracksmen blew the safe awakened Postmaster Ben Steel who was sleeping in an adjoluing building, but there was no immediate alarm given and the burglars had a clear field In which to operate and get away. The postoffice building was badly wrecked. The win dows were broken and part of the large safe was sent through the side wall. DULL MATRIMONY MARKET.

The habeas corpus hearing, set doVn' by Judge Keyburn for Thursday last at Kittanning, which had been demanded with a view to securing the release on bail of Jacob Kromer, of this place, who ie charged with complicity in the Leech-burg murder and alleged attempted bank robbery case, proved to be no hearing at all since Judge Rayburn held that he himself had been In error when lie, had issued the writ of habeas corpuiqam that afternoon set himself right by refus-ing to hear any of Kromer’s witnesses and practically rescinded his order issu-ed the Monday before that the prisoner should be brought before him. Ills honor held that since the grand jury had found a true bill against Kromer pre-vious to the application for a release on bail, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the court to say whether or not prisoner should be admitted to bail, ■aid the indictment of the grand jul was to be considered as prima-facie evi dence of his guilt, so it remained wit thejurytofind out whether or not th prisoner had been connected with thi murder, and that the court could nol take upon himself a responsibility which rested atone with the jurymen, Continuing Judge Rayburn said: “Tl court unfortunately overlooked the ft that .the grand jury had indicted the defendant, Jacob Kromer, before thi application for a writ of habeas corpui had been filed. We think we were-ii error in issuing the writ.” J. A. Bobbs, J. G. ThompsonrFranels' Andrews and John Berryhill were the Mount Pleasant witnesses taken and their evidence, had they been allowed to testify, must have proved that Kromer was here at the time the crime was com-mitted. Captain Keenan and ex-District Attorney Gregg, of Greensburg, and Aus-tin Clark, Esq., of Kittanning, appeared, for the defendant. Nicholas KromerL father of the prisoner, and young mer’s wife were prominent figurt the court room. The young wile too] her position by the side of her husband when he was brought in from the jail' and remained there throughout the hearing. Captain Keenan at several points in his strong argument had Judge Rayburn, rattled. The talented young Greens-\ burger held that Ryan had been found to be the man that killed Shaffer, and so under the worst conditions known could Kromer be found guilty of no higher crime than murder in thesecond degree, and as that crime was bailable he de-manded a hearing. He said they were now prepared to show by many witness-es that the defendant was not at Leech-burg on the night in question and thaf^ he was being illegally detained in prison. He made the plea that the grand jury had acted upon Kromer’s case while e: citement over the tragedy was at its height and rounded up this point in his argument with the assertion that anyone brought before the grand jury at that time would have been indicted on sight for complicity in the crime. In rebuttal of the stand taken by Judge Keyburn he cited the cases of the Home-stead rioters who were admitted to bail when under indictment for murder, and he also called to the attention of the court the time when tn the absence Judge Doty, of this county, Judge Ray-burn himself had admitted to bail the! deputy sheriffs charged with murderinj the Hungarian rioters at Morewood. Judge Rayburn replied to the poiri) advanced by saying they only strength-ened his stand, as he denied most em-phatically that any of the Homestead rioters had been admitted to bail afte: they had been indicted. He who had been left free were those1 had filed their applications ior a releall on a writ of habeas corpus previous to their cases being passed on by the grand jury. He Baid the Greensburg cases had been similar also and admitted that Ryan might be admitted to hail, becauj his case had been passed on by the while Kromer’s caBe had not. The Captain then went to work on Judge’s sympathies, drawing a touchini word picture of how the foul air of Kit-tanning jail was already injuring his young client’s health and longer confln-ment would in all probability mean death. So impressed was the judge that ho ordered the witnesses called and_Mi order was being ^hastily obeyed whei Messrs. Leason and Patton entered vig-orous protests. In an instant thejui had reached a definite conclusion am said: “We will not go into this case at" all. I will make an order refusing to admit tbe defendant to bail.” The ai torneys for the defense asked an excep-tion, which was granted, and it is under-stood that an appeal to the Supreme, Court will be made. Judge Reyburrk said later that he would write an opin-ion on the case. Then W. J.Byan, convicted of murder, in the second degree for the killing Shaffer, was called up and sent to th! penitentiary for a term of twelve years, tbe sentence which, through a mistake, it was stated laat week bad been pro-nounced. Before being taken to the Riverside prison on Friday, Ryan said : “The sentence of the judge was worse than a blow between the eyes. I had expected about six years, but never thought he would be so severe. I am altogether innocent of this crime am time will prove it.

MARCH 28 THE RYAN TRIAL. /of W. J. Ryan, or Rhine, who k convicted in tlie Armstrong Burt at Kittanning of murder in the second degree, for the murder ol William Shafler, followlngjnn alleged at-tempt to rob the Leeahburg bank on the evening of February 21 last, presented Beveral features that must strike the ob serving mind of any person interested in the case as very old, to sny the least, In the first place, It was two weens af-ter the arrest of Wyckoff, Sprague and Rn that President Heale and Director Rmgensmith, two of the bank officials, lame here with Constable Coller and nr Rested Kromer who, according to Mr Seale's statement at the time, was the nurderer. Yet when perfectly reliable vltnesses came ferward to testify that Cromer was here at the time the crime las committed, the whole strength of |e prosecution seemed to be centered ^against Ryan. Even in Leechburg there are not a few good citizens who believe that Shaffer yas not murdered at all, but was accl |lenta\v shot by Coller in lhe excitement rof the moment and while that officer was drawing his self cocking revolver from his side coat pocket. The position of the principal actors and the course the fatal bullet took really do put a plausible face on this theory. The charge made by one of the law-yers for the defense in his address to the ^ury, that the bank officials had the re-er, found under a neighboring board ITeTplaced there for that purpose, had In ugly look about it, but lost its force Ihrough lack of any evidence to substan ftiate it. That Ryan’s story, told when he took the stand, was a lie there is no doubt. He ^■cald he had been at Dr. Wyckoft’s office lplaying cards on the evening of February $20, went to Pittsburg on a freight train the ptme night, returned the next even /liig and was only on the hunt of thecard players when run down and captured by the crowd that gathered about the bank immediately following the shooting. It such had been the truth there would have been no trouble getting the train-men to prove it. Of course there was a strong feeling ^tmong Armstrong county people against Tie defendant and yet there was plenty of evidence, too, that would have justi-fied the jury in bringing in a first degree verdict. At all events, the congratula tions of his counsel following the an-nouncement of tne verdict in the second degree leave little room for doubt that Ryan was deserving of Buch greetings on having escaped hanging. ^DEATH-BLOW TO RAILROAD STRIKES. ►Nothing lias occurred within recent |ears which has so greatly stirred up the ndignatlon of labor organizations jjroughout the country as the decision Judge Ricks, of the United States "blstrict Court in Toledo, by which Chief ^Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomo-tive Engineers, aud other officers of that Organization and the Firemen’s Brother- »ere enjoined, under penalty of and punishment for contempt in inducing employes of other roads to boycott the freight and cars of the | Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan railroads on which a strike is In progress, fn addition to this, J udge Ricks has ed Chief Arthur to withdraw his recently issued requiring brother-rengineers to refuse to handle cars ^non-union or boycotted roads and lias held five engineers and their firemen under $200 bonds because they quit work in compliance witli this order. The decision is everywhere denounced j the labor leaders as an outr-ge, for if f is "upheld no organization will have jie right to strike, but the men will be pletely at the mercy of their employ-es, who can pay them what wages they boose, and there will be no means of Sdross. They say It strikes at the very lot labor organizations, and the prin-ce laid down is nothing short of revo-lt tionary. 'While at the first glance it does seem itUat this decision would prevent the la-boring man from using his only weapon [ defense—a strike; yet, in this case a ►liar issue is raised—the refusal of Rployes of one railway to receive freight from another road. The Inter-state Commerce Law requires railroads |o receive freight from each others’ lines. Fho law imposes a certain duty on the i rtllroad, and the boycott presents itself ftto the court as a combination to prevent oompllauco with the law. Hence ne jlnd good legal ground for Judge Ricks lislon. M. Ashley, vice president of the Arbor road, makes some sensible gns looking to the settlement of ti*ve_en-promotlons fixed by rules and the boy-cott and .the blacklist prohibited and made a felony, with proper punish-ment. If these suggestions were made the basis of national legislation railway strikes would soon become of the un-pleasant and unprofitable things that were. RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN. A decision of interest to the public generally and to married women, and those who have business with them In particular, was rendered a few days ago by Judge Arnold, of Philadelphia. A married woman was sued upon a note given by her, and also upon a book ac-count. The defence set up was that the note was given for a husband’s debt, and that the book account was in reality charged on the defendant’s books against the husband. Judge Arnold discussed the whole question of a married woman’s liabllitly at some length. The whole trend of leg-islation since 1848 anti latterly of judicial decisions in this country, as well as in England, which, In tills respect, was fol-lowing in our footsteps, had been, he said, in favor of placing married women on an equal plane of liability with their husbands. Further than that It bad been in tlie direction of protecting those who dealt with married women from tlie abuse by the latter of their privileges and against permitting the latter to do bust ness ns a class of licensed female pirates preying upon tlio-o of the community who had transactions witli them. fudge Arnold therefore held that, while a married woman could not by law become an indorser or guarantor for tier husband, yet she had the privilege of paying ids debts ii site felt so dlsposed-that giving a note for a debt was pay ment of tlie debt and not a mere guaran ty of it. He also said that as the burden of proof was now upon the woman to prove her lack of liability, her mere affidavit that tlie book account was char ged upon the plaintiffs books against her husband was not sufficient. She should have asked for tlie production of the books themselves, and, having failed to do so, the Court was bound to give judg ment against her. Judge Arnold’s reasoning, as lhe Pitts burg Times says in commenting on tlie subject, ceems to be sound, and while it mny result in a hardship to the defend-ant in this particular case, it will be of advantage to the public generally in the future. There is no good reason why married women who undertake to do business should not first inform them-selves as to their responsibility, and then be held to as strict an aceountabill tv as a man would be. The privileges they have a right to enjoy would then be safe from further attack, while they would not be under the temptation of abusing them, to the Injury of those who deal with them in good faith. n LIVING ON HORSE MEAT. n Nut Bad Kitting Wltni One Is Very Hungry. EXCHANGE ETCHINGS. THIS YEAR’S RAILROAD BUILDING. In speaking of Hie prospect for railway building this year the Jtiiilicay Age. says that, after excluding old enterprises of former years which have not yet materi-alized, and leaving out of consideration all corporations from which definite in-formation has not been obtained, the list shows424 lines, aggregating nearly 28.000 miles, on which construction is under way or proposed. The more important question Is, how much of this projected mileage will be built this year? It is not an easy task to give a satisfactory an-swer, but a reasonable approximation has been arrived at by a careful examination of the collected data. There are 104 unfinished lines on which work was done last year nr is now in progress, and It is estimated that on these lines very considerable progress will be made during 1893. The projected mileage is 4,804 miles, but it will not all be built this year. Some ofit certainly will not be. But there are other enter-prises which will be undertaken during the ensutng nine months, and if the fi-nancial sky continues fair it Is reasonable to expect a mileage equal to that of 1802 —something over 4,000 miles, Of the estimated new mileage ahnnt one lia'f will he in the South, Texas lending off with .800 miles. Arksnsaa. Florida, Georgia and West Virginia each exceed 200 miles. Alabama will con-struct about 100 miles, Missouri 127, Tennessee 129 and Virginia 90. Of tlie northern states South Dakota leads with 378 miles, followed bv North Dakota with 284, Pennsylvania with 274, Ohio with 208, Maine with 107, and so on down to seven miles in little Rhode Island. Pennsylvania shows no less than thir-ty- two new lines, which Is far in excess of any other state. Texas coming next witli twenty five new projects. There are twenty unfinished lines In Pennsyl-vania and thirteen In West Virginia, which may Ire accounted for by the large number of branches being extended Into new mining and lumbering districts in these two states. While these indications are not so Hal-tering as might be wished ibey areon the whole very encouraging, since thousands of manufacturing concerns and tens ol thousands ol supply dealers, engineers, contractors and others will be more or less benefitted by tlie demands which will be made upon them as the work progresses. IF it is true, as reported, that Seereta - ries Harrlty and Heusel will control tlie the federal patronage in tills state, its dollars to doughnuts ex-Sheriff Guffey won’t get the appointment of Collector of the Port at Pittsburg. But it should not be forgotten that theGuileys are fighters from away back. I How We Even Up, “You never ate horseflesh, I suppose,” Pittsburg Press said Lieutenant Russell of the Seventh United States cavalry. “I have seen lhe time when I ate it with genuine relish, and that, too, without any salt. It was in 1877, during General Miles’s Nez Per ces campaign. We had followed the ren-egades up the Missouri to its confluence witli the Yellowstone, and tlie chase was so fast and exciting that we didn’t real ize how our larder was getting until It was drained and we were getting too fat away from tlie base of supplies to re-plenish It. “The game had all been driven out ol the country ahead of us by the fleeing Indians, and when we finally caught up witli Hie redskins and forced them lo fight we had almost nothing to <at for several days. We captured about 700 ponies from the Indians, Borne ol them so round and sleek and fat as to appear to us tlie finest meat In tlie world. Our butchers killed the youngest and fattest of the ponies that night afier Hie battle, and as soon as they were skinned and dressed we had a feast that would have made Lu-eullus turn green with envy. “We lived on this pony meat for sev eral days. It was cooked without salt and roasted over a spit, like barbecued beef. Tlie meat had a peculiar sweet taste, not at all palatable, when I think nt it now, and It was so fibrous that we could pull it apart In great strings. But It kept us from starving, and I therefore can hear-tily recommend pony meat lo people in dire straits.” CONCRETE FOR BUILDINGS. It la Used Extensively In France In Pluce of Stone. Frenchmen often wonder why tlie ar-chitects ot America do not make more liberal use of concrete. There as but two concrete houses in St. Louis, but such are the faculties of concrete as a building material that tlie wonder is houses by tlie hundred are not built of it. In France It is used everywhere for building pur-poses; housed, arches, all sorts of struct-ures, including monuments and tomb-stones, are made of it, and If properly prepared It is as lasting as tlie best stone. One of the great aqueduclB which supply Pails with water is built almost exclu-sively of concrete, there being in tlie for-est of Fontainebleau over three miles of arches which support Hie aqueduct, most of them exceeding 50 feet ill height, and all ot concrete. A country village near 1’ariB lias a church spire 130 feet high, a concrete monolith having been molded Into shape during the process of erection, and exhibiting evidence of durability. Even the best concrete when used for building material, whether in blocks or In solid wall, is not dearer than stone, and the advantages are so great that Ameri-can architects neglect thelropportunltka In not employing it. IT WAS NEAR ENOUGH The Sailor* Shonted Beef, Lemons and Cheese Most Heartily. An American naval ofiicer sayB that once when a great function took place in the harbor of Cherbourg several vessels of our Atlantic squadron were present and was drawn up in line to Biilute the empress’s yatch as it passed, says an ar-ticle on the navy. The French sailors manned the yards of their ships and shouted: ■ Vive I’lm-peratrice!” Knowing that he could not school his men to repeat those words in tlie brief time left to him, the American admiral ordered his crew to cry: "Beet, lemons and cheese.” I lie imperial yacht came sweeping on, and as it reached the fleet a mighty roar went up of “Beef, lemons and cheese” that entirely drowned the voices of the k renchinen. And the empress said she had never been so complimented. Turn about is fair play. England lias been taking our gold, and now we are taking the Canadian by tlie big bagfuls. ■ O ■ ...

Here Is one answer: When all cattle west of the Alleghenies were driven on foot to eastern markets across the mountains the Kentucky cattle became famous for their quality, and tlie drover, to disting-uish them, marked them O. K. meaning Old Kentucky. The brand caused com-ment and soon came to mean, In drovers’ parlance, a superior grade.

He is your main reliance and the druggist is his first assistant. The drug store is the arsenal from which the weapons for the conflict against disease are obtained. Without these weapons, the struggle would be hopeless from the outset. But the value of drugs depends entirely upon their purity and freshness. Unless these are up to the proper standard in both particu-lars, the patient’s chances of recovery are slim, and one might as well be without drugs altogether as be dosed with prescriptions compounded of ingredients which are abso-lutely useless. It isn’t necessary for any one in the clutches of disease to put himself in any such a condition of helpless-ness. Our prescriptions are always and in every instance precisely what is asked for and, in this case, the physician’s assistant will never be found wanting. We also have a very attractive line of Perfumeries and Toilet Articles. A com-plete stock of reputable Patent Medicines. MT. PLEASANT PHARMACY, 616 Main Street Mt. Pleasant. . BEWARE OF FRAUD. .

Read: "Three years ago, as a result of catarrh, 1 entirely lost my hearing and was deaf for more than a year. I tried various tilings to cure it, and had several physicians attempt It, but no Improvement was apparent. 1 could di*tin-guinh no Mound. 1 was intending putting myself under the care of a specialist when some one suggested that possibly Hood’s Sar-saparilla would do me some good. I began taxing It without the expectation of any lasting help. To my ourprinc and great joy I found when I had taken three bottles that my hear-ing wan returning. 1 kept on till 1 had taken three more. It Is now over a year and I can hear perfectly well. I am troubled but very little with the catarrh. 1 consider this a ii iiini habit- rime, and cordially recommend Hood’s Sarsaparilla to all who have catarrh.” HERMAN HICKS, 30 Carter Street, Rochester, N.

Man’s Businems lit Life. Men’s proper business in this world Ralls mainly into three divisions: First, to know themselves, and the existing state of the things they have to do with. Second, to be happy In themselves, and in the existing state of things. Thirdly, to mend themselves, and the ■ existing state of things, as far as either •are marred and mendable. .These, I say, are the three plain divis-ions of proper human business on this earth. For these three, the following are usually substituted and adopted by hu-man creatures: First, to be totally ignorant of them selves, and the existing state of things. Secondly, to be miserable In them-selves, and In the existing stateot things, Thirdly, to let themselves, and the ex istlng state of things, alone. RlicnmnttMm Quickly Cured.

It is stated that he has been authorized to negotiate a loan of $’>0,000,000 in gold. THURSDAY.

A bill was introduced into the Minne-sota Legislature prohibiting Chinamen hereafter “from wearing their shirts out-side their pants,” and requiring them to “dress the same as other citizens.” A violation ot the act is to be punished by a fine of from $1 to $1(1, and by forfeiture of the pig tail.

MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND CO., PA., TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1898.

doubtlesB had good
legal grounds' for refusing to admit
Jacob Kromer tip ball, but Its safe to say
that tlie learned) Armstrong county jurist
narrowly escap'd a bad attack of rattleB
when so sore’ (Brassed by Captain Kee-nan
at Thu JBy’a Kittanning hearing
in the habercjBrpus case.
Now is the time to tell whether the
committee Fiat placed the aro street
lamps made- mistakes or if Council did
not contract for enough lights. There
should be nc “robbing of Peter to pay
Paul” about the settlement of this ques-tion.
If there too few lamps, get more.
IT is said that J. Plerpont Morgan, the
great New York banker, who sailed last
week tor Europe, went as Secretary Car-lisle’s
agent negotiate a loan of $50,-
000,000 for the Government. Why, the
Treasury must be running low.
IF the people of this state really want
their country roads improved they must
expect to pay for It. It can’t be done,
even under the provisions or Senator
Brown’s sensible bill, without money
and lots of it.
SHERIFF GOOD oughtn’t to expect a
man like Bill Pritte, an acknowledged
moonshiner and an alleged murderer, to
be at home when an officer with a war-rant
calls. William is growing older,
but not foolish.
FOR the kind of property there is
about Swissvale. on which the Provisional
brigade lay during the Homestead trou-ble,
the bill tor $3,000 damages, demanded
of the state by the owners, seems a trifle
high. ______
UNIONTOWN is probably not any wick-eder
than her neighboring towns, but in
permitting the sin to find her out Is an
almost unpardonable offense in the eyes
of the world.
ITS all the nicer in speaking of the
Standard shaft model to be able to add
that it was built by a combination ot
Mount Pleasant’s brain and brawn.
IF the amount of the Smith-Brudewold
Glass Company’s liabilities is only $1,200,
the people of Hammondvillc have no
reason to feel alarmed.
A MODEL OF THE MODEL
THE STANDARD SHAFT IN MINIUM FOR
THE WORLD’S Fill.
ROUGH ON HAMMONDVILLE.
The Smitii-Brndewald OIRII Company
Make* an Assignment.
The Smith Brudewald Glass Compa-ny,
of Pittsburg, operating a large glass
plant at Hammondville, in Bullskin
township, Fayette county, made an as-signment
for the benefit of creditors
Tuesday last and the papers were placed
on file in the Register and Recorder’s of-fice
at Uniontown the next day.
Joseph P. Reed,of Pittsburg, has been
made the assignee and liia acceptance is
filed with the other papers in the case.
The creditors are all Pittsburg parties
and no judgments or mortgages have
been filed in Fayette county.
The company’s property in Fayette
consists of a large glass plant and two
acres of ground at Hammondville. There
is considerable stock on hand and it will
be sold at assignee’s sale,
C. N. L. Brudewald, the manager, says
that certain parties who had claims
wanted their money before it could be
realized, and to save the firm and the
creditors an assignment was made to J.
P. Reed, of Pittsburg. The liabilities
amount to only $1,200, and the assets are
over double the amount. The company
will resume as soon as some legal for
nudities are gone through with.
Thousands of People From Far and
Near Gather to See the Beautlfh!
Piece of Work Ere It Is Sent as the
H. C. Frick Coke Company’s Princi-pal
Exhibit at the Columbian Expo-sition.
In 1885 Robert Ramsay began the
erection of a new shaft for the H. C.
Frick Coke Company at its great Stand
ard worke, the largest of its kind in the
world. He was not only the designer,
but every detail of the work was done
under his personal supervision. No ex-pense
wae spared in either the construc-tion
or equipment and when, the follow-ing
year, the shaft was placed in opera-tion
it at once became the “Model of the
Regionand right well has it merited
the name, for, it soon won and Btill
holds the world’s beet coal hoisting
record. Nor is it to be wondered at that
even the modest builder felt prouder still
when several years ago a party of Eu
rope’s leading mining engineers esme
here and acknowledged that they had
never seen its equal. And it was only
natural that the company, destring to
exhibit a working model of one of its
numerous plants in this region, should
choose Standard for that honor.
Mr. Ramsay again drew the plans on
which work was begun just a year ago.
As already stated in THE JOURNAL, the
model, which includes the shaft proper,
tipple, bins, engine, boiler and power
houses, blacksmith and carpenter Bhopa,
a block of sixty lour coke ovens, four
tenement houses, railroad and tarry
tracks, larries and pit wagons, is scaled
to one-twenty-fourth the actual size, the
whole having been placed on a stand
that is sixty-four feet long, fifteen feet
wide and three and one-half feet high.
It was completed Friday last when the
doors of the work shop were thrown open
to the public, and the public wasn’t at
all backward about showing its apprecia-tion
of the builder’s kind permission.
Thousands of people, not only from
Mount Pleasant and vicinity, but from
all over the region gathered to see and
admire this work of art. The building
was crowded from early morn until late
at night. The visitors on Sunday num-bered
between two and three thousand.
The exhibition will close this after-noon
when the model will be taken all
apart in sections preparatory to being
shipped to the World’s Fair at Chicago
where it will be placed in the second
story of the Mines and Mining building
with a model of the steel Bhaft at Leis-enring
No. 3 and a map of the region.
There the shaft, which is a fraction less
than thirteen feet deep, will be added
and as it will show on the first floor will
doubtless of itself attract attention to the
exhibit. There also asbestos will be pla-ced
in the ovens and fired with gas.
Behind the glass panels in the sides of
the stand the finest samples of coke will
be stacked so that if World’s Fair visit-ors
don’t learn how coal is turned into
that most useful fuel it won’t be the fault
of the Frick people. Suspended over the
whole exhibit will be a 32 foot sign on
either side of which, in letters made of
coke and placed on a velvet background,
it will read :
: H. C. FRICK COKE OO. :
. CONNEI.LSVII.LK COKE. :
DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
A. Greene County Farmer Hangi Himself
on Learning His Wife Loved Another.
On Thursday morning last the body of
Lindsey Sappington, a respected and
well-to do young Greene county farmer,
was fonnd hanging to tree near his h “me,
four miles Bouth of Waynesburg. He
had been married a little over a week to
Maggie Johnson, aged 17, at the home of
her mother, Mrs. Wade, in Wayne town
ship. A few days after their marriage
he overheard bis wife telling her mother
that she would not have married him if
Bbe could have got a certain other young
man. This was a heavy blow and he
was completely crushed.
Last Monday he went to Waynesburg.
Before leaving home be gave all the
money he had to his wife and also some
notes he held. He then bade her good
bye. Monday evening about dark his
horse was found in the road not far from
his home stripped of the saddle and
bridle. The young man’s father and
party of neighbors finally instituted
search with the result stated. The
young man had removed the strap from
the bridle and, climbing up the tree
tied one end to a limb and with the
other end formed a noose which he
placed over his head and Bwung off.
WANTS HER SHAKE.
Mrs. Muck Files » #100,000 BUI In Kqul
ty Against tile Fuyctic Gas Co.
A Dill In equity was filed in the Pitts
burg courts last week by Rebecca R
Mack against A. W. Mellon and the Fay
ette Gas Fuel Company. The plaintiff
claims part ownership in land held by
the defendants, and wants her share of
the profits of natural gas taken from it,
asserting there is about $100,000 due
her.
She states that she owns a one-half in
tereet in 28 acres of land In German
township, Fayette county. The other
half interest is held by the defendants
In the last two years, she says, the de-fendants
have obtained natural
the land to the value
She has received^
It is not at all likely that very many
of the hundreds of thousands who will
see the model at the great fair will be
able to appreciate the fact that it cost
about $12,000 and represents the work of
seven men for a year. The wood work,
to which it owes so much of its beauty,
was make under the personal supervis
ion of David Patterson who had for his
able assistants Samuel Bungard, Elmer
Billings and George Walters, the last
named mechanic having made the bins
and pit wagons. Messrs. Patterson and
Bungard will leave the latter part of this
week for Chicago to set the model in
place at the fair. Later on they will be
relieved by others who took part in the
erection.
The miniature of the big automatic
rams that stand at the top of the tipple
and drive the full wagon off and the
empty wagon on the waiting cage is the
handiwork of James Wilson, and a more
delicately adjusted or neater piece of
machinery would indeed be hard to find.
Morris Ramsay, a son of the designer
and builder of the original shaft, is but a
boy in years, being only 19 years old
and yet he has inherited in a remarkable
degree the mechanical genius of his
father. He is the builder of the beauti
ful nickie-plated engines that run as
smoothly as the works of a watch and
make very little more noise. Its a ques
tion which takes the more honest pride
in the pretty machine, father or son.
There is still another Scotch lad whose
honest eyes take on a brighter sparkle
whenever they rest on the model—
Charley Fletcher who, with the assistance
of John Shindle, James Cox and Bert
Bobbs, did all the painting. When one
considers that a full sized brick In a wall
shows a surface of but 8x2 inches and
that those laid out with the brush are
but one-twenty-fourth those dimensions
some faint idea of these faithful painters’
work can be gained.
Everything about the model, except
the electric lights, was made here. All
the machinery and fittings, except the
piston rods on the engines which are
Btee), are made of brass and nickel plat
ed. The ovens are of cast iron. The
Westinghouse company supplied the
lights in keeping with the scale. The
bill is not in yet, but that it won’t be
trifling sum can be guessed at from the
fact that one of the diminutive lamps
costs three times as much as those of or-dinary
16-eandle power.

BREEZY DIVORCE SUIT
OVER WHICH HNIONTOWN’S UPPER-CRUSI
DF SOCIETY IS ALL AGOG.
Mrs. Jacob A.Strickler Wants to he
Separated From Her Husband on Ac-count
ofCruelty and Infidelity, While
lie Claims Dr. W. II. Hameraley
Alter Curing His Wife Physically
Won Her Heart.
Uniontown society Is said to be con-siderably
exercised over proceedings In
a divorce suit that have |ust been insti-tuted
by Mrs. Mary F. Strlc’ ler, who is
a daughter of Amos S. Bowlby, a wealthy
real estate dealer and retired merchant
of that place. The defendant, Jacob
Arthur Strlckler, is a prosperous young
business man, the junior member of the
well-known shoe firm of Conwell &
Strickler. Mrs. Strickler Biles for a sep-aration
on the grounds of infidelity and
cruelty, and names a well known wom-an
ns the co-respondent In the case. In
his answer to these charges Strickler
also charges Infidelity, and names Dr.
W. H. Hamersley as the co-respondent.
The causes leading up to this unhappy
state of affairs aro said to be these: Mr.
Strickier married Miss Bowlby aboutsix
years ago. To all appearances they lived
happily together in her parents’ home
until they separated a short time since.
Since the ease has come to light it ap-pears
they have been estranged for al-most
two years. The trouble began
during Mrs. Stickler's illness three
years ago. Her family physician had
given up hope that she would recovery.
Dr. Hamersley was called in. He frank-ly
told her family that her’s was almost
a hopeless case, and that her only chance
for recovery depended upon a dangerous
operation. They consented to have it
performed. Dr. Uamersly undertook
the operation and succeeded.
For weeks she lay between life and
death, and Dr. Dixon, of ffittsburg, was
at last called in consultation. He
agreed with Dr. Hamersley in Ills treat-ment.
Mrs. Strickler recovered, and
from that time she looked upon Dr.
Hamersley as her rescuer. Strickler al-leges
that from that time his wife’s af-fectiou
for him ceased. He frequent ly
remonstrated with her about her visits
to the doctor’s office. She did not desist.
A Bhort time alter the operation Dr.
Hamersley went to Philadelphia and, it
is alleged, wrote to Airs. Strickler to
come to him. When she told he husband
of her intention to go to him ngain he
advised her to stay at home.
Fmding her determined to go, he offer-ed
to uccompany her, but she would not
listen to her proposition, declaring she
would go alone. She went. It is charged
by Strickler that Dr. Hamersley secured
adjoining rooms for hlinself and Mrs.
Strickler at the hotel, and registered her
as ills sister. Mr, Strickler learned of
tills and again remonstrated with his
wife. Gradually the estrangement grew
until the breach became too wide to be
closed.
One day, when Mr. Strickler went
home, he found his trunk and other ef-fects
set out on the street. He then
went to a hotel and has lived there alone
since. Dr. Hamersly is a prominent
Uniontown physician who came there
from Philadelphia four years ago. It is
said lie was married some years ago to a
Philadelphia lady, from whom he was
subsequently divorced. The case will
not be tried in court, butwill go before a
master this week. It Is said in behalf of
Mrs. Strickler and Dr. Hamersley that
her visit to him in Philadelphia was
merely of a professional nature.

who shall receive $2 for each day
served and give a bond of $3,000. At the

GRERDY REPUBLICANS.
ONLY AN EXPERIMENT
BUT IT MAY REVOLUTIONIZE THE MAN-UFACTURE
OF COKE.
It I» Said They are Reaching Ont After
All Cambria C'onnty’fl Office*.
Republican leaders in Cambria county,
not satisfied with about half the offices,
are said to have held a conference at
Johnstown Tuesday, when a plan was
formulated to make the whole county
surely Republican. It was decided that
a large number of colored workmen
would be imported into the county this
summer, and at the fail election they
will all be voted for the Republican
ticket.
Tbe success of tbe plau is assured, and
will be carried out by those developing
tbe Black Lick coal region. Judge Bar-ker
and other leading Republicans con-trol
tbe developments there, and it is
said 'hey will employ nothing but color-ed
labor. The contractor on the new
Black Lick road will also be induced to
employ colored men. In addition, tbe
bosses at tbe Cambria Iron works at
Johnstown are to be utilized by the par-ty
managers in making this scheme ma-terialize,
and they will be asked to die
miss foreign laboring men and employ
negroes whose votes can be controlled.
Superintendent Robert Ramsay, of the
Frick Company's Standard Works,
Not Discouraged W ith One Failure,
Will Again Try to Utilize the Waste
From the Ovens For tlie Purpose
of Steam Making.
When it is remembered that in the
manufacture of coke fully one-third of
the coal Is burned away, the study prac-tical
operators give to the subject of try-ing
to utilize that great waste Is easy of
explanation. Yet so far the question
remains unsolved.
Some five or six years ago Robert
Ramsay, superintendent of the H. C.
Frick Coke Company’s Standard plant,
tried placing a boiler immediate over the
ovens. The arrangement made plenty
of steam, but was abandoned owing to
the fact that the great jieat from the
ovens melted tbe brick lining about the
boiler and would soon have destroyed the
boiler itself.
Last week two large boilers and a 50-
foot stack were sent here to the same gen-tleman
to make further experiments of
his theory, in speaking of which to a
JOURNAL representative Mr. Ramsay
said: "I was not at all discouraged with
the failure of my first attempt and still
believe my idea is practical. If successful
will result in a saving to the company
at this plant alone ot at least $35 a day;
for, we use some forty tons of coal daily
for steam purposes.
I Intend to place these two boilers at
right angles to and Borne llttls distance
away from a line of bank ovens, with the
stack at the farther end. Between the
boilers and ovenff, running parallel to
the latter, will be built a long due, some-thing
like 2x3 feet in size. From each
of probably 30 ovens a smaller chimney
passage will lead Into the main flue that
will be so connected to rnn the draught
all the ovens so joined together
through under the boilers to the stack.
It successful the number of boilers can
easily he increased to meet the require-ments
of the entire plant.”.
BILL PKITTS STILL AT LARGE.
Sheriff Gaud's I.Ittle Tip Gets Him Nath-lug
But a Tireiome Trip.
Bill Pritts, the smooth old Somerset
county moonshiner, is still at large, but
is believed to be in his old haunts. A

Tbe sheriff at once laid planB to cap-ture

Gilbert he left Somerset and went to

They quietly surrounded the Pritts’ do

That I* Worrying the East Hnntlngdon
Township School Board.
The late Lyman R. Fretts was a Dem-ocratic
member of the East Huntingdon
township school board and following his
death last tall the board filled the va-cancy
by the election of Milton Stoner, a
Republican, to serve out Mr. Fretts’ un-expired
term. Believing, that, under
State Superintendent Waller's ruling,
this was the proper thing to do, the Re-publicans
made no nomination for the
place at the February election. The
Democrats, however, held that Mr. Sto-ner
could serve only until the next gen-eral
election and nominated A. J. Will-iams,
of Ruffedale, for the office and as
he bad no opposition they declared him
elected.
Mr. Williams presented his certificate
of election at a late meeting of the board,
but that body refused to accept it and as
Mr. Stoner refused to get out there was
no room for “Andy” who will now resort
to legal measures to compel the board to
give him his seat.

of 50 cents to pay postago, etc. One of
the crayons—and there were to be two—
was to be hung in the art gallery at tbe
World’s Fair, ana the other would be
returned to the party who furnished the
picture and paid the 50 cents. It Is said
that the scamp reaped a rich harvest,

For Murder Makes the Case Unballi
ble, Ryan’s Sentence Sends Him
the Penitentiary for Twelve Years.
The habeas corpus hearing, set doVn'
by Judge Keyburn for Thursday last at
Kittanning, which had been demanded
with a view to securing the release on
bail of Jacob Kromer, of this place, who
ie charged with complicity in the Leech-burg
murder and alleged attempted bank
robbery case, proved to be no hearing at
all since Judge Rayburn held that he
himself had been In error when lie, had
issued the writ of habeas corpuiqam
that afternoon set himself right by refus-ing
to hear any of Kromer’s witnesses
and practically rescinded his order issu-ed
the Monday before that the prisoner
should be brought before him. Ills
honor held that since the grand jury had
found a true bill against Kromer pre-vious
to the application for a release on
bail, it was beyond the jurisdiction of
the court to say whether or not
prisoner should be admitted to bail,
■aid the indictment of the grand jul
was to be considered as prima-facie evi
dence of his guilt, so it remained wit
thejurytofind out whether or not th
prisoner had been connected with thi
murder, and that the court could nol
take upon himself a responsibility
which rested atone with the jurymen,
Continuing Judge Rayburn said: “Tl
court unfortunately overlooked the ft
that .the grand jury had indicted the
defendant, Jacob Kromer, before thi
application for a writ of habeas corpui
had been filed. We think we were-ii
error in issuing the writ.”
J. A. Bobbs, J. G. ThompsonrFranels'
Andrews and John Berryhill were the
Mount Pleasant witnesses taken and
their evidence, had they been allowed to
testify, must have proved that Kromer
was here at the time the crime was com-mitted.
Captain Keenan and ex-District
Attorney Gregg, of Greensburg, and Aus-tin
Clark, Esq., of Kittanning, appeared,
for the defendant. Nicholas KromerL
father of the prisoner, and young
mer’s wife were prominent figurt
the court room. The young wile too]
her position by the side of her husband
when he was brought in from the jail'
and remained there throughout the
hearing.
Captain Keenan at several points in
his strong argument had Judge Rayburn,
rattled. The talented young Greens-\
burger held that Ryan had been found
to be the man that killed Shaffer, and so
under the worst conditions known could
Kromer be found guilty of no higher
crime than murder in thesecond degree,
and as that crime was bailable he de-manded
a hearing. He said they were
now prepared to show by many witness-es
that the defendant was not at Leech-burg
on the night in question and thaf^
he was being illegally detained in prison.
He made the plea that the grand jury
had acted upon Kromer’s case while e:
citement over the tragedy was at its
height and rounded up this point in his
argument with the assertion that anyone
brought before the grand jury at that
time would have been indicted on sight
for complicity in the crime.
In rebuttal of the stand taken by Judge
Keyburn he cited the cases of the Home-stead
rioters who were admitted to bail
when under indictment for murder, and
he also called to the attention of the
court the time when tn the absence
Judge Doty, of this county, Judge Ray-burn
himself had admitted to bail the!
deputy sheriffs charged with murderinj
the Hungarian rioters at Morewood.
Judge Rayburn replied to the poiri)
advanced by saying they only strength-ened
his stand, as he denied most em-phatically
that any of the Homestead
rioters had been admitted to bail afte:
they had been indicted. He
who had been left free were those1
had filed their applications ior a releall
on a writ of habeas corpus previous to
their cases being passed on by the grand
jury. He Baid the Greensburg cases
had been similar also and admitted that
Ryan might be admitted to hail, becauj
his case had been passed on by the
while Kromer’s caBe had not.
The Captain then went to work on
Judge’s sympathies, drawing a touchini
word picture of how the foul air of Kit-tanning
jail was already injuring his
young client’s health and longer confln-ment
would in all probability mean
death. So impressed was the judge that
ho ordered the witnesses called and_Mi
order was being ^hastily obeyed whei
Messrs. Leason and Patton entered vig-orous
protests. In an instant thejui
had reached a definite conclusion am
said: “We will not go into this case at"
all. I will make an order refusing to
admit tbe defendant to bail.” The ai
torneys for the defense asked an excep-tion,
which was granted, and it is under-stood
that an appeal to the Supreme,
Court will be made. Judge Reyburrk
said later that he would write an opin-ion
on the case.
Then W. J.Byan, convicted of murder,
in the second degree for the killing
Shaffer, was called up and sent to th!
penitentiary for a term of twelve years,
tbe sentence which, through a mistake,
it was stated laat week bad been pro-nounced.
Before being taken to the
Riverside prison on Friday, Ryan said :
“The sentence of the judge was worse
than a blow between the eyes. I had
expected about six years, but never
thought he would be so severe. I am
altogether innocent of this crime am
time will prove it. Those Leechburg1'
people would swear anything agaii
me. 1 had witnesses there who coi
prove me innocent, but the;

MARCH 28
THE RYAN TRIAL.
/of W. J. Ryan, or Rhine, who
k convicted in tlie Armstrong
Burt at Kittanning of murder in
the second degree, for the murder ol
William Shafler, followlngjnn alleged at-tempt
to rob the Leeahburg bank on the
evening of February 21 last, presented
Beveral features that must strike the ob
serving mind of any person interested in
the case as very old, to sny the least,
In the first place, It was two weens af-ter
the arrest of Wyckoff, Sprague and
Rn that President Heale and Director
Rmgensmith, two of the bank officials,
lame here with Constable Coller and nr
Rested Kromer who, according to Mr
Seale's statement at the time, was the
nurderer. Yet when perfectly reliable
vltnesses came ferward to testify that
Cromer was here at the time the crime
las committed, the whole strength of
|e prosecution seemed to be centered
^against Ryan.
Even in Leechburg there are not a few
good citizens who believe that Shaffer
yas not murdered at all, but was accl
|lenta\v shot by Coller in lhe excitement
rof the moment and while that officer was
drawing his self cocking revolver from
his side coat pocket. The position of the
principal actors and the course the fatal
bullet took really do put a plausible face
on this theory.
The charge made by one of the law-yers
for the defense in his address to the
^ury, that the bank officials had the re-er,
found under a neighboring board
ITeTplaced there for that purpose, had
In ugly look about it, but lost its force
Ihrough lack of any evidence to substan
ftiate it.
That Ryan’s story, told when he took
the stand, was a lie there is no doubt. He
^■cald he had been at Dr. Wyckoft’s office
lplaying cards on the evening of February
$20, went to Pittsburg on a freight train
the ptme night, returned the next even
/liig and was only on the hunt of thecard
players when run down and captured by
the crowd that gathered about the bank
immediately following the shooting. It
such had been the truth there would
have been no trouble getting the train-men
to prove it.
Of course there was a strong feeling
^tmong Armstrong county people against
Tie defendant and yet there was plenty
of evidence, too, that would have justi-fied
the jury in bringing in a first degree
verdict. At all events, the congratula
tions of his counsel following the an-nouncement
of tne verdict in the second
degree leave little room for doubt that
Ryan was deserving of Buch greetings on
having escaped hanging.
^DEATH-BLOW TO RAILROAD STRIKES.
►Nothing lias occurred within recent
|ears which has so greatly stirred up the
ndignatlon of labor organizations
jjroughout the country as the decision
Judge Ricks, of the United States
"blstrict Court in Toledo, by which Chief
^Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomo-tive
Engineers, aud other officers of that
Organization and the Firemen’s Brother-
»ere enjoined, under penalty of
and punishment for contempt
in inducing employes of other roads
to boycott the freight and cars of the
| Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan
railroads on which a strike is In progress,
fn addition to this, J udge Ricks has
ed Chief Arthur to withdraw his
recently issued requiring brother-rengineers
to refuse to handle cars
^non-union or boycotted roads and lias
held five engineers and their firemen
under $200 bonds because they quit
work in compliance witli this order.
The decision is everywhere denounced
j the labor leaders as an outr-ge, for if
f is "upheld no organization will have
jie right to strike, but the men will be
pletely at the mercy of their employ-es,
who can pay them what wages they
boose, and there will be no means of
Sdross. They say It strikes at the very

laid down is nothing short of revo-lt
tionary.
'While at the first glance it does seem
itUat this decision would prevent the la-boring
man from using his only weapon
[ defense—a strike; yet, in this case a
►liar issue is raised—the refusal of
Rployes of one railway to receive
freight from another road. The Inter-state
Commerce Law requires railroads
|o receive freight from each others’ lines.
Fho law imposes a certain duty on the
i rtllroad, and the boycott presents itself
ftto the court as a combination to prevent
oompllauco with the law. Hence ne
jlnd good legal ground for Judge Ricks
lislon.
M. Ashley, vice president of the
Arbor road, makes some sensible
gns looking to the settlement of
ti*ve_en-promotlons
fixed by rules and the boy-cott
and .the blacklist prohibited and
made a felony, with proper punish-ment.
If these suggestions were made
the basis of national legislation railway
strikes would soon become of the un-pleasant
and unprofitable things that
were.
RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN.
A decision of interest to the public
generally and to married women, and
those who have business with them In
particular, was rendered a few days ago
by Judge Arnold, of Philadelphia. A
married woman was sued upon a note
given by her, and also upon a book ac-count.
The defence set up was that the
note was given for a husband’s debt, and
that the book account was in reality
charged on the defendant’s books against
the husband.
Judge Arnold discussed the whole
question of a married woman’s liabllitly
at some length. The whole trend of leg-islation
since 1848 anti latterly of judicial
decisions in this country, as well as in
England, which, In tills respect, was fol-lowing
in our footsteps, had been, he
said, in favor of placing married women
on an equal plane of liability with their
husbands. Further than that It bad been
in tlie direction of protecting those who
dealt with married women from tlie
abuse by the latter of their privileges and
against permitting the latter to do bust
ness ns a class of licensed female pirates
preying upon tlio-o of the community
who had transactions witli them.
fudge Arnold therefore held that,
while a married woman could not by
law become an indorser or guarantor for
tier husband, yet she had the privilege of
paying ids debts ii site felt so dlsposed-that
giving a note for a debt was pay
ment of tlie debt and not a mere guaran
ty of it. He also said that as the burden
of proof was now upon the woman to
prove her lack of liability, her mere
affidavit that tlie book account was char
ged upon the plaintiffs books against her
husband was not sufficient. She should
have asked for tlie production of the
books themselves, and, having failed to
do so, the Court was bound to give judg
ment against her.
Judge Arnold’s reasoning, as lhe Pitts
burg Times says in commenting on tlie
subject, ceems to be sound, and while it
mny result in a hardship to the defend-ant
in this particular case, it will be of
advantage to the public generally in the
future. There is no good reason why
married women who undertake to do
business should not first inform them-selves
as to their responsibility, and
then be held to as strict an aceountabill
tv as a man would be. The privileges
they have a right to enjoy would then be
safe from further attack, while they
would not be under the temptation of
abusing them, to the Injury of those who
deal with them in good faith.

THIS YEAR’S RAILROAD BUILDING.
In speaking of Hie prospect for railway
building this year the Jtiiilicay Age. says
that, after excluding old enterprises of
former years which have not yet materi-alized,
and leaving out of consideration
all corporations from which definite in-formation
has not been obtained, the list
shows424 lines, aggregating nearly 28.000
miles, on which construction is under
way or proposed. The more important
question Is, how much of this projected
mileage will be built this year? It is not
an easy task to give a satisfactory an-swer,
but a reasonable approximation has
been arrived at by a careful examination
of the collected data.
There are 104 unfinished lines on
which work was done last year nr is now
in progress, and It is estimated that on
these lines very considerable progress
will be made during 1893. The projected
mileage is 4,804 miles, but it will not all
be built this year. Some ofit certainly
will not be. But there are other enter-prises
which will be undertaken during
the ensutng nine months, and if the fi-nancial
sky continues fair it Is reasonable
to expect a mileage equal to that of 1802
—something over 4,000 miles,
Of the estimated new mileage ahnnt
one lia'f will he in the South, Texas
lending off with .800 miles. Arksnsaa.
Florida, Georgia and West Virginia each
exceed 200 miles. Alabama will con-struct
about 100 miles, Missouri 127,
Tennessee 129 and Virginia 90. Of tlie
northern states South Dakota leads with
378 miles, followed bv North Dakota with
284, Pennsylvania with 274, Ohio with
208, Maine with 107, and so on down to
seven miles in little Rhode Island.
Pennsylvania shows no less than thir-ty-
two new lines, which Is far in excess
of any other state. Texas coming next
witli twenty five new projects. There
are twenty unfinished lines In Pennsyl-vania
and thirteen In West Virginia,
which may Ire accounted for by the large
number of branches being extended Into
new mining and lumbering districts in
these two states.
While these indications are not so Hal-tering
as might be wished ibey areon the
whole very encouraging, since thousands
of manufacturing concerns and tens ol
thousands ol supply dealers, engineers,
contractors and others will be more or
less benefitted by tlie demands which
will be made upon them as the work
progresses.
IF it is true, as reported, that Seereta -
ries Harrlty and Heusel will control tlie
the federal patronage in tills state, its
dollars to doughnuts ex-Sheriff Guffey
won’t get the appointment of Collector of
the Port at Pittsburg. But it should not
be forgotten that theGuileys are fighters
from away back.
I How We Even Up,
“You never ate horseflesh, I suppose,” Pittsburg Press
said Lieutenant Russell of the Seventh
United States cavalry. “I have seen lhe
time when I ate it with genuine relish,
and that, too, without any salt. It was
in 1877, during General Miles’s Nez Per
ces campaign. We had followed the ren-egades
up the Missouri to its confluence
witli the Yellowstone, and tlie chase was
so fast and exciting that we didn’t real
ize how our larder was getting until It
was drained and we were getting too fat
away from tlie base of supplies to re-plenish
It.
“The game had all been driven out ol
the country ahead of us by the fleeing
Indians, and when we finally caught up
witli Hie redskins and forced them lo fight
we had almost nothing to |
