VOL. 30, MOUNT PUT}ASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1002 NO. 32. DEMAND DISCHARGE OE POLICEMEN Who Are Alleged to Have Been Intoxicated AT THE UNIONTOWN REUNION WHEN THEY ARRESTED THREE TENTH REGIMENT OFFICERS. Captain Loar, of this Place, One of the Victims, Wrote Burgess Rutter Re-questing- That This he Done, But, Ac-cording to Mayor Frank’s Statement in the Pittsburg Sunday Papers, he Hasn’t Much Intention of Doing Any-thing of the Kind. The arrest of three officers of the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment—Captain Loar and Lieutenant Thompson, of this place, and Sergeant Major Wilson, of Washington, Pa.—at Uniontown last Thursday evening, at the close of the third annual reunion of that famous command, continues to cause no little comment, especially among old gnards- ^ men who are a unit in demanding the discharge of the offending policemen— A. J. Doran. Jesse Shaffer, John Seese and William Hager. Captain Loar sent a personal letter to Burgess Rutter Friday, setting forth the indignities he and his brother officers had been subjected to during their brief imprisonment and demand-ing the dismissal of the policemen, of whose intoxication profit would beforth coming if needed. Judging from a statement in the Pittsburg Sunday papers, made by Burgess Rutter, it does not seem likely that he has any inten-tion of changing the membership of his police force. The Burgess claims that both soldiers and citizens interfered when the police tried to arrest two civilians, a white man and a negro, for fighting in front of the Central Hotel. Then a colored Knight of Pythias had his high silk hat smashed and when he objected was knocked down by Lieutenant Thompson who was arrested because he refused to stop swearing. At this time Captain Loar saw Thomp-son struggling with Officers Seese and Shafer and started toward them yell-ing, “Company E!" The Burgess says the captain grabbed Officer Seese by the back of the neck and arm while the sol-diers, who were attracted by Captain Loar’s yells, took Prisoner Thompson from the police. A few minutes later the police found Captain Loar sitting in the hotel office and arrested him for interfering with an officer, and the real trouble began. When Burgess Rutter reached the lockup along with the mob, he could not get in, and while trying to break A through the mob, Colonel Bierer met him. Bierer said it would not do to keep the officers in there and Rutter agreed with him and as soon as he could force his way in he released them. The Bur-gess’ statement then continues: “One word from Captain Loar would have put everything right. If he had said, ‘Officers, I will go to the lockup with yon and Lieutenant Thompson, and we will adjust this matter,’ there would not have been any exhibition of the worst side at all. The officers were instructed to give the Tenth boys the widest latitude and they had it, but when it comes to knocking people in the head with canes, to continue cursing after being called by an officer, it is time to bring a halt.” Burgess Rutter contradicts the report that the police were intoxicated and asks any one to make an affidavit to that effect and he will report them to Council. On Wednesday last Captain Loar re-ceived a reply to his letter to Burgess Rutter who said: “I have nothing to do with the employing of the police, or the discharging them from duty.” It is likely that at least Sergeant Wilson will bring an action for damages, while the others will be guided by their Union-town attorney in whose hands the mat-ter has been placed. Mountain Campers. James C. Guy, George Miller, Edward Overholt, John Freed, Frank Miller, with Ed. Strawder as cook, are at Con-fluence for a two weeks’ camping. Eu-gene Warden and John Springer, of Uniontown, will join them the latter part of this week. Scottdale’s Troubles. Burgess Owens and the Scottdale Council are on the outs over the recent discharge of Policeman James Caldwell, the retention of Policeman William Mc- Whorton and the appointment of John Shay to fill the vacancy on the force. A sensational investigation is promised. lUUvvty OrucvU-V Mel\M <5TM 1: m* « '••iK ■ 1 ■ Vi i • MOUNT PLEASANT FIRE DEPARTMENT DELEGATES WHO WILL REPRESENT THE TOWN AT THE NINTH ANNUAL CONVENTION AND TOURNAMENT OF THE PENNSYSLVANIA STATE FIREMEN'S ASSOCIATION TO BE HELD AT JEANNETTE NEXT WEEK.

Newly discov-ered evidence and error of the court were grounds for asking for a new trial. In the new evidence it is alleged that Myrtle Stevens, the chief witness for the Commonwealth, told an intimate friend, Carrie Shipley, that if John Cal-lahan did not stop running with another girl she would kill him, and that she had a revolver and never went without it. Similar threats against Callahan before other witnesses are alleged to have been made. Killed by the Care. •J.

PITTSBURG POLICE ARE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE MAN WHO DID THE TERRIBLE DEED. Detective John Roach Ran Allen Down Tuesday at Findlay, Ohio, Where! he was Stopping With His Sister. ;The Prisoner Fainted Dead Away When Told That he was Wanted. Strong Cir-cumstantial Evidence Against Him. The mystery surrounding the murder of Achsah King, the Mount Pleasant girl, who was stabbed to death in a Pittsbnrg saloon two weeks ago, is be-lieved to have been clenred up Tuesday when Detective John Roach arrested Joseph Allen, of Stenbenville, Ohio, at the home of his sister at Findley, that state, the prisoner being bronght back to jail at Pittsbnrg the next day. When the detective laid his hand on his shoul-der Allen fainted dead away. The po-lice are confident they now have the right man. Allen is a sinster-looking, low browed individual, lithe and swarthy, 26 years old, and has been twice married, his present wife having a divorce suit now pending. He declines to talk of the murder or of his arrest, but made no re-sistance to leaving Ohio without requi-sition papers. Detective Roach went to Findlay with a letter to guide him, which Joseph Al-len had sent to his brother, Levi Allen, at Steubenville, and which Roach se-cured Sunday after putting Levi Allen through a cross-examination and get-ting all the facts of the murder, just as Joseph Allen, it is alleged, had told them to his brother. Allen, according to bis brother's story, murdered the woman because of jeal-ousy, after she told him she did not want anything more to do with him and he had asked if she meant it. Allen said to his brother, it is alleged, that he had then left the scene of the murder and, walking down street, passed two police-men, went into another place and into a water closet, and after dropping the knife in the closet washed the blood off his hands. He then went to Steubenville and tried to make up with his wife, who is suing for divorce, but negotiations fail-ed, and it was then that he intimated to his brother that he had killed a woman, saying, “I have just killed one woman and 111 finish Lil (meaning his wife) before I go. ” He then related the details of the murder and left. Allen, after going away, went back and his brother bought him a revolver and gave him some money. The detective used this acces-sory matter in persuading Levi Allen to tell what he knew. Mrs. Allen has not lived with her hus-band for over a year, and has not spoken to him in that time. It is alleged that Allen was mixed up mysteriously with the death of a man named Headley somewhere along the river. Happy Family Reunion. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Moyemont held a reunion Friday last at their East Washington street home for all their children and grand children. The rarty consisted of five children and five grand children. The former are Mrs. N. M. Crusan, of this place; Mrs. L. A. Harrer, Scottdale; Mrs. George McNabb, of Toledo, Ohio, and sons George and Victor, who are still at home. Quite a delightful day was spent and all enjoyed the splendid delicacies. Good Substitute for Beer. A man who keeps a stand at Oakford Park, near Jeannette, has been arreste* * and bound over to court on a charge (i illegal liquor selling for having handled a drink called “Pomora,” This mixture is made in Pittsburg and sold by agents who claim it contains only 2 per cent, alcohol. The Westmoreland liquor traffic people had it analyzed, however, and they say it is almost as strong as beer, like which it both looks and tastes. Death of an Old Minister. Rev. Reuben Honk Bolton died at his Findlay, Ohio, home Monday last of kidney trouble, aged 67 years. He en-tered the Church of God ministry in 1855, preaching at different times in this section. He was a brother-in-law of H. W. Stoner, of this place, at whose for-mer home near Alverton he was mar-ried to Miss Magdalena F. Stoner in 1859. She and four children, two sons and two daughters, survive. pmc MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL. [DAY, AUGUST 8 1902. ® ® ® ® ® ® ® @ © A GUN AND A GUNBOAT • ® © E[Copyright, 1902, by a. L. Kilmer.] ARLY 111 June, 1802, Federal steam rams and gunboats un-der Cfllonel Eilat and Commo-dore Dhvis cleared the Confed-erate fleet from the Mississippi above Vicksburg. Everything afloat that es-caped annihilation took refuge in wa-ters flowing in through Arkansas. Gen-eral T. C. Hindman commanded what remained of Confederate forces in Ar-kansas and, surmising that the enemy’s warships might take the notion to in-spect the interior of Ills bailiwick, or-dered the troops and vessels on White river to make a stand nt the bluffs be-low St. Charles, a point 100 miles from the Mississippi. The expedition for the defense of the bluff consisted of the gunboats Pont-ehartrain and Maurepas, with 100 men, on the ground, and Colonel Allison Nel-son’s Texas regiment on the way from the Lone Star State to re-enforce Hind-man where they could do the most good. Thirty-five rifles were all the weapons that could be scraped up for the 100 men. The unarmed men were set to work to obstruct the channel. Captain Joseph Fry of the Maurepas was the inspiring genius of the defense. He had served in the old A'nited States navy. Fry was a gallant warrior, tall, well proportioned, handsome and in-telligent, modest and brave. Lieuten-ant J. W. Hunnington was commander of the Pontchartrain, and Captain A. C. Williams handled the land troops. Two 32 pounder rifles from the Pont-chartrain were placed in battery on the bluffs to be worked by the crew of the vessel. Down stream from Dunning-ton’s battery Fry placed four guns from his own ship, and still farther down Williams stationed the thirty-five riflemen as sharpshooters. Just above the batteries the Confed-erates began a row of piles, hoping to bring the enemy’s vessels to a stand under the guns of the batteries. The sudden appearance of the enemy put an end to the work, but Fry scuttled and sunk the Maurepas, with two transports, between the piles and the bank on either side. Fry got news of a formidable expedition coming up the river, but every hour brought Nelson's Texans nearer, and he decided to wait and fight. During the night of June 10 the ene-my anchored just below the batteries. The fleet consisted of the ironclads Mound City and St. Louis and the wooden gunboats Conestoga and Tyler. Colonel G. N. Fitch, whose regiment, the Forty-sixth Indiana, was on board, commanded the expedition, and A. H. Kilty of the Mound City was chief of the flotilla. Early on the morning of the 17th Colonel Fitch landed his men below the bluffs and marched along the heights to engage Williams’ sharp-shooters. At the same time the fleet, led by the Mound City, steamed ahead and tossed shell and grape into the woods and bushes along shore. Fry’s guns kept silent until the Mound City came abreast of his lower battery, the naval rifles from the Maurepas. A broadside from these guns drew the fire of all the fleet upon the batteries, and at the same time Williams’ sharp-shooters were hunted out of their lair by the shell and small shot from the gunboats and the bullets of Fitch’s skirmishers. Under cover of the gun-boat firp Fitch pushed his men up to the rear of the lower battery and after looking the ground over signaled to Kilty that he would storm the place unless the sailors preferred to take all the work of silencing them. Kilty quickly responded that the navy would take the contract alone. The land troops could not do good execution while the gunboat fire swept over the crest of the bluff. Captain Kilty brought the Mound City to directly in front of Fry’s four gun battery and pounded it with shot for an hour. Meanwhile Dunnington trained his guns upon the Mound City. At that Kilty signaled the St. Louis and her wooden consorts to steam up close and engage the lower battery while the Mound City took care of the upper one. Dunnington’s guns proved to be a considerable distance apart Captain Kilty passed the first under a good headway without silencing it and his ship was soon between the fire of two heavy guns in point blank range. For an hour and a half the ships fought the batteries. Fitch’s men at the same time crowded the riflemen buck upon the bluffs. Fry took alarm at the unexpected boldness of Fitch’s men and sent word to D.unnington, urging him to send to the rear of the bluffs every man that could be spared from the guns. It was the crisis of the fight, and Nelson’s Texans were not yet on hand. , Dunnington stayed by the gun farthest up stream. Hav-ing an unobstructed range of the dar-ing ironclad, he took careful aim and landed a shell near her bow that for destructiveness stands unrivaled in the history of naval gunnery. The mis-sile crashed through the plating of the Mound City on the port side, killed eight men at the gun nearest its track and then passed through the steam drum fore and aft. Volumes of scald-ing steam poured through the gun chambers, and in an instant the proud ironclad became a ship of anguish and death. The slowly turning wheel kept on revolving until the bow of the ves-sel was close inshore near the Confed-erate guns. Dunnington saw that his shot had torn through the vitals of his antagonist and ceased firing. Colonel A FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY » » June 17. 1862 | ® ® ® ® ® ® ® MR.

He was a new volunteer, untrained In war, but what he lacked In training he made up In good sense and courage. Seeing the Mound City moving blindly Inshore and sailors Jumping headlong through the ports and from the decks into the water, with clouds of steam belching from the hatches, he concluded that Kilty and the Ironclad were .put of the fight. First signaling the St. Louis, Conesto-ga and Tyler to cease firing, he rushed his men upon the.bntteries. YVilllams’ riflemen were seen to he firing upon the struggling sailors In the water, and Fitch told his best marksmen to pay attention to them, while the main body dashed for the guns of the four gun battery. Fry had left the guns and hurried to the upper battery to consult with Dunnington and Williams, but on the return met Fitch's men between the two batteries. Rallying what men he could call around him, he made a final stand behind Dunnington’s guns, but was soon shot down and captured. When ordered to stop firing by Fitch, the commander of the St. Louis steam-ed up and hooked on to the Mound City. She had been deserted by all her ablebodied men. Kilty was severe-ly scalded ami lost an arm shot away. Ilis crew of 173 was reduced to twen-ty- three fit for duty. In the ensemate where the shot took effect eighty-three were killed by the enemy’s fire or by scalding steam. In the water twenty-five wounded sailors were picked up and also the bodies of forty-two who had jumped from the ship. Some of these last were struck by the bullets of the Confederate sharpshooters, who had been ordered to fire upon them by ‘ i MS.

The gal-lant attack by his slops upon the bat-teries took the enemy by surprise, and they let slip the opportunity given by Dunnington's clever shot. Colonel Fitch carried the entire bluff within an hour, but Nelson’s Texans were al-ready wltliin sound of the firing, and ser. “I shall muss up nothing, and tlie cook won’t get mad.

In a dim way he remembered that his mother used to put in flavorings, and, hunting through the cupboard,he found vanilla and cinnamon and put them in with a generous hand. As he cooled n spoonful, however, there seemed to lie something lacking, and after a mo-ment's thought he went up stairs and queried of Mrs. Bowser: “Don’t you remember that 1 bought a bottle of wiutergreeu essence some time ago? It's exactly what mother used to use in her candy. Bless me, but how many times In my boyhood I have hunted for the delicious whiter-green berries!” “If there is any, you’ll find It In the right linnd cupboard,” she replied, “but you want to be careful. There are a lot of other bottles there. It smells as i if you had scorched the molasses.” I “Just enough to give it the right I taste. I’ll show you some candy that : is candy in about ten minutes.

When the warships of Butler’s noted expedition against Fort Fisher, N. C., were pour-ing shots into the fort from hundreds of guns, he attempted to run a cargo of powder into the beleaguered fort. Signals were given from the shore to Fry to scuttle his ship and save the crew, but by lighting her he took her into port minus only part of the valua-ble cargo. At the close of the war Fry settled in Albany, N. Y., and finally found a new field of ndventure as captain of the Cuban filibustering steamer Virginius, which attempted to land the expedition of General Washington Ryan on Cu-ban soil in 1873. The ship fell into the hands of the Spaniards, and the brave Fry, with fifty-three of bis men, was dealt with after the summary manner of Spain, although he protested vig-orously that as a United States citizen he should be given a trial.

By John, but I believe you would stand beside the tomb of Washington and haggle with a shoestring man over a cent!” The cat came up from the basement and saw that there was fun ahead and sat down to yait for developments. “I am sorry if I hurt your feelings,” said Mrs. Bowser after a time, “but it never occurred to me to connect senti-ment and molasses candy. There are songs about boyhood and pear trees, cider mills, babbling brooks and all that, and 1 don’t know why they shouldn’t sing of boyhood and molasses candy. The cook has just gone up-stairs, and you can have the kitchen all to yourself.” Mr. Bowser walked to and fro and looked at her. but ns she said no more he finally descended the stairs and be-gan to work. The cat followed him, and as she saw him poking up the fire and pouring the molasses into a kettle she walked around and gurgled to her-self. When the jug had been emptied, the kettle was placed on the stove, and Mr. Bowser sat down with a big spoon in hand to stir the contents and call up old recollections. There were more recollections than stir, and as a con-sequence Mrs. Bowser soon got the ecent of scorched molasses. She didn’t feel it her duty to make any Investiga-tion, however. Even when the kettle suddenly boiled over and a great cloud of smoke swept across the kitchen and upstairs, causing Mr. Bowser to cough and the cat to sneeze, she made no In-terruption. “That’s as it should be,” he mused as he stirred away. “There was al-ways a burny smell in the house when mother was making candy. That smell takes me back to the dear old days. to die, why not stick your bead into the washtub?” “Wo-womnn, I understand! I see through #lie plot! I—I”— “You sit down and think of your boy-hood days,” she interrupted—“of your mother and old fashioned molasses candy and benzine and death! I’m going to bed, and I’ll pitch that dish out of the window to the cats as I go along!” Mr. Bowser tottered to a chair and sat down and thought and thought At midnight Mrs. Bowser came softly down stairs to find him asleep in his chair and the cat sitting on the kitchen table to act as his guardian angel. The feline had a grin on her face, hut »he wasn’t saying a word to disturb the harmony of the occasion. M. QUAD. Ahljnli'* Fourth of July.

THE 0L0 HUNTER’S STORY OF A CRITTER LOOKING FOR BLOOD. t lie Tell* How n CantnnkeronR Mnn Van Suddenly Pnt to FIIKilt After It.-inK lleaten Beyond Kxiieetntloiin ^ by Zeb’H Good "Wife. O[Copyright, 1902, by C. B. Lewis ! NE October day Zeb White, the possum hunter of Ten-nessee, took me along with him when he went the rounds of his woodchuck traps, nnd as we were coming home he told me this sto-ry: “I worked so hard fur three or fo’ y’nrs arter the wall that I got all run down nnd couldn't sknssly git about. Thnr was days when I felt purty well and dnys when I jest sot around nnd hadn’t strength ’nuff to move outdoahs. That same y’nr a critter named Pike moved into the nayburliood. He was Il'H' "KOW, THEN, ZEB WHITE, CUM OUT YEBE 1” from Alabamy, I believe, and he let it be known powerful soon that he was a hefty mnn in a scrimmage. He talk-ed so loud and blowed so high that ev-erybody was skeart of him, and he Jest went around steppin’ high and bossin’ the roost. That critter used to cum down to my cabin and brag and blow and tell how many men he’d licked, nnd one day I gin him plain to understan’ that 1 didn’t believe his sto-ries. That made him mad, and he went away sayin’ as how he’d wallop me fur his next victim. He knowed 1 was in pore health and couldn’t fight n fly, but every two or three days he’d cum down and stand in front of the cabin and yell: “ ‘Now, then, Zeb White, cum out yere and git the awfulest wallopin’ a human critter ever received! I’m no hand to brag, but I kin tie both hands behind me and then chaw yo’ up in two minits. I’ve licked forty-seven different men and never got my nose skinned. Either own up that yo’ dasn’t fight a man or cum out nnd be wal-loped.’ “That’s the way he’d talk to me,” continued Zeb, “and I’d git so mad that I cried like a child. Bimeby I begun to git a leetle better, and one day when he was callin’ on me to cum fo’tli nnd be walloped I told him that if he’d show up a week from that day I'd tackle him. He went away crack-in’ his heels nnd whoopin’ and rejoic-in’, nnd the old woman sez to me, sez she: “ ‘Zeb White, if yo’ was a well man yo’ could wallop that critter befo’ I could make a hoecake, but yo’ve bin down the banks all summer, and yo’ can’t git well in a week. I’m sorry yo’ passed yo’r word, but bein’ it's passed we’ll hev to abide by it. I’ll L git whisky and roots tomorrer and brace yo’ up.’ ” “And did you get better?” I asked. “No; I got wuss. Whisky and roots didn’t do me no good. When the week was up, I was in bed and too feeble to walk across the room. That pesky critter knowed jest how it was with me, nnd ylt he cum and stood in front of the cabin nnd shouted to the ole woman: “ ‘Ar’ this the dwellin’ place of a varmint named Zeb White?' “ ‘She be.’ “ ‘Calls hisself the possum hunter of Tennessee, don’t he?’ “ ‘Yes; he do.’ “ ‘Has wrassled with b’ars and wild-cats and painters and thinks hisself powerful on the fight?’ “ ‘That’s my Zeb.’ “ ‘Then I hain’t made no mistake. Would yo’ do me the everlastln’ kind-ness to tell him to step out yere while I chaw his ears off and stay my hun-ger.’ “ ‘He’s sick abed just now, but if yo’II cum back arter dark he’ll make yo’ eat grass and beller like a calf.’ “ ‘Then yo’ kin be lookin’ fur me, Widder White. I’ll be kinder sorry to see death take him from yo’, but I must hev him fur my forty-eighth vic-tim. Good arternoon, Widder—White; good arternoon.’ “That’s how they talked,” said Zeb as he heaved a rock at a snake sun-ning itself on a rock, “and of co’se 1 heard every word of it. I jest couldn’t help weepin’ with my madness. How f was I to go out and fight him when 1 couldn’t git outer bed? That’s what I asked the ole woman, and she sorter winked and smiled and sez to me, sez she: “ ‘Zeb, doan’ yo’ worry no mo’ ’bout this wallopin’ bizness. but leave it all to me. If that varmint shows up here tonight, he’ll be the wust licked man In all Tennessee befo’ he gits away.’ “ ‘But who’s gwlne to lick him?’ “ ‘Never yo’ mind.’ “She wouldn’t say no mo’,” contin-ued Zeb, “and I was too feeble to Ag-ger it out. I cried myself to sleep, and it was arter dark when I woke up. That thar varmint had cum back, ’cordin’ to promise, and was 1U front of the cabin a-slioutin’: ‘“Zeb White, the time has cum fur yo’ to be pulverized. Mebbe I won't do no mo’ than chaw yo’r ears off and cripple yo’ fur life, but I’ll do that much fur shore. Cum outer yo’r hole nnd stand up to me like a man.’ “Jest about the time lie begun to holler my ole woman begun to git outer her clothes and Inter mine. “ ‘What yo’ gwlne to do?’ sez I. “ ‘Gwlne out to wallop that critter or die,’ sez she. “ ‘But yo' ar’ a woman, and he’s a powerful fighter.’ “ ‘Zeb White, yo’ snuggle down nnd keep quiet. He’s cum fur a fight. He’s bin premised one and has to hev It. As yo’ can’t fight him, I shall, nnd I’m a-feelin’ that the Lord will put a jaw-bone inter my hand to slather him.’ "It wasn’t no use to talk to her. When she got dressed up, she looked like a man, nnd as she stood in the door that varmint cracked his heels together and crowed like n rooster. 1 jest had the strength to git to the win-der, and 1 saw all that took place. When the feller had crowed and crack-ed, he yelled out: “ ‘My forty-eighth victim ar’ now be-fo’ me to be chawed. Speak up, Zeb White, and tell me which ear yo’d rather I'd begin on to git up my appe-tite. Whoop, whoop-ee!' ” “And about the fight?” 1 asked, as Zeb was silent for several minutes. “It was full of surprises,” he an-swered. “That varmint was only a blowhard arter all. The ole woman walked around him two or three times and then sailed In. Ho hollered at the fust jump and tried to git away, but she wouldn’t let him. She scratched, kicked and pulled ha’r, and when she finally let up on him he wouldn’t hev looked wuss if half a dozen b’ars had played with him. I’ve seen a heap of men walloped, but he was the wallop-edest man of the hull lot.” “And he didn’t know it was a wo-man?” I asked. “Never knowed it till he got home and his own wife examined the claw marks and the bites. The story got around, and purty soon he had to jest pull up and move away. He had bln licked by a woman, and it was the wuss lickin’ he ever got.” “And how did Mrs. White come out of it?” “She didn’t git a scratch, but I’ve alius bin sorry about it” “For what reason?” “Waal,” said Zeb as he turned his face away from me, “befo’ that fight she was a mighty humble woman and left all the bossin’ to me. Sence then she’s—she’s”— “She's not so humble?” “Jest so; jest got the idea that she kin wallop me, same as she did him, and thar ar’ days when she’s all ready to make a try at it. Spiles a woman to git such noshuns in her head—of co’se it does.” And an hour after we got home that evening I overheard her saying to him: “Now, Zeb White, yo’ git me up a heap of firewood by the back doah to-morrer or take the consequences, nnd I’m tellin’ yo’ that them same conse-quences will make yo’r back ache fur a hull month to cum.” M.

Utter, a profninent phy-sician, of Panama, Colombia, in a re-cent letter states: “Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age,who had a very bad attack of dys entery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had be-come so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but I thought of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last re-sort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better; inside of three days she was upon her feet and at the end of one week was entirely well.” For sale by C. L. Kuhn. REDUCED RATES TO JEANNETTE.

I took a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to directions. In two days’ time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since) a vigorous healthy girl. I have recommended this remedy frequently and have never known it to fail in any single instance.” ForsaebyC. L. Khhn.

The arrest of Captain Loar, Lieutenant Thompson and Sergeant Major Wilson by Uniontown policemen at the close of the third annual reunion of the Tenth regiment in that place last Thursday evening was a most unfortunate affair, not only for the victims but for the hospitable citizens who doubtless regret it most of all. THE JOURNAE did everything in its power to lay the facts before its readers in last week's issue and, while the time for investigation was short, we have no corrections to make now despite the defense of his officers made in the Pitts-burg Sunday papers by Burgess Rutter who was not an eye witness to either the arrests or the rough treatment given the prisoners at the lockup before his arrival and, therefore, had to depend upon hearsay for his information Naturally, he is prejudiced in favor of the members of his force. There is little room for doubt that the policemen were under the influence of liquor, as many persons who were pres-ent have expressed a desire to be per mitted to testifv that such was their condition and, such having been the case, the request for their discharge, as made in writing to Burgess Rutter by Captain Loar, should be granted. • Rank Injustice.

United States Senator Quay, who was ■down to hear what the sad sea waves at Atlantic City had to say, had a narrow escape from drowning last Sunday. He had gone out in a little smack, called for himself, with his old-time friend Ben Sooy, and was caught in a storm about ten miles from shore, It blew great guns and for a time the Beaver Statesman feared he and Benjamin were booked for Davy Jones' locker But the little boat weathered the tem-pest and the occupants finally landed safely at Brigantine. In speaking of his trying experience the Senator said “We threw over the anchor and tried to grin and bear it. Then the rain caught us and for a time it looked as if a cloudburst was paying its compli ments to Neptune. The sea continued to get rough and I saw in the distance a mighty wave coming towards us. was wondering how we were ever going to ride that wave. “In a moment the M. S. Quay shot up on its crest. We came near going out over the stern of the boat and a second later it seemed we were standing on our heads. How we ever got over that hill of water is a mystery, but we did. It was so dark that land could not be seen and I knew I was up against it as I had never been before. “The sun came out after the rain had fallen for about three hours and we lost no time in getting back to land and friends. We had drifted several miles out to sea and it was a lucky thing that we were not caught by night.” Of course, we are]glad that the voyage ended as it did, but the “Old Man” ought to know better than to go fishing on Sunday. County Sunday School Convention to be Held at Greenshurg. The tenth annual convention of the Westmoreland County Sunday School Association will be held at the Second Reformed church, Greenshurg, August 28-29, 1902. The committee to whom is entrusted the work of preparing for the convention has set forth the highest ideals. The program now in process of crystalization will embody the best talent available. There will be nothing prosy or dull. Only that which will help conventioners to greater efficiency is sought. Believing that Sunday school conven-tions deepen Sunday echool convictions and that to ignore Sunday school con ventions is to be ignorant of the best Sunday school methods, the president has given much time and earnest thought to the work of the coming convention. Only the best is good enough. Such a course persisted in will soon bring our schools up to a high grade of excellence But however good the prepared food will do no good except it he received and used by the workers. It is but a fitting response to President Tuesing’H work that every school send representa-tives (no limit to the number you may send) to the convention, so that the good things of the meeting may get into each school’s life. The Pennsylvania railroad will sell tickets from all points in the county at reduced rates on the card order plan. Orders can be secured upon application to Rev. J. H. Leitch, Jeannette, Pa The good people of Greenshurg promise to entertain all properly accredited delegates free. Send yonr name to Bennett Rksk, Greenshurg, not later than August 26. Arrange to attend this largest of all county S. S. meetings. SECOND ANNUAL REUNION THEiNational Guard soldiers, called out to suppress rioting among the an-thracite coal strikers, have had a quiet time the past week. It seems strange that the operators have not made hay vwhile the sun was shining. Of the Descendants of the Late Rev. James Davidson. The descendants of the late Rev. James Davidson held their second an nual reunion at Bellevernon Wednesday. Among the towns represented were Washington, Mount Pleasant, Scottdale, Circleville, Ruffsdale and Morgantown. The election of officers resulted as follows: Miss Hattie Davidson, Belle-vernon, president; Mrs. Charles Peck, Washington, vice president; C. H. Truxal, Bellevernon, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. W. R. Jones, Morgan-town, historian. The next reunion will be held at the home of J. F. Springer, near Irwin, on the last Wednesday of August, 1903. The Mount Pleasant representatives were Mrs. T. C. Patterson, a daughter, her husband and daughter, Miss Rosie, and Mrs. George Patterson. IF the tenth annual convention of the Westmoreland^Sunday School Associa-tion, to | be held at Jeannette August 28th and 29th, is not a success, it will be no fault of its hard-working president, Rev. W. H. Tussing, of this place.

JCopyrlght, 11)02. by O. L. Kilmer.] »IIEN Stonewall Jackson swooped down from tho Shenandoah valley upon the flank of the Federal ar-my before Richmond the last week of June, 18(12, he simply executed upon a grand scale the kind of movement ho had practiced upon a minor Held with brilliant success. It has been said that Robert 10. I.ee planned and directed those early blows of Jackson In tho val-ley which made him so famous. If so, Leo was fortunate in ills lieutenant. There were no successful Hank swoops after Jackson passed from the stage. Lee was the fighting head of the Con-federate forces defending Richmond at the beginning of the Seven Days’ hat-ties, now to he described, but the fact fwas not known in the camps of his en-emy. What Jackson might he doing gave more concern In Washington and at the headquarters of the army "f the (Potomac, on the banks of the Chlcka-liominy, than did the question of lead-ership Just across the lines. McClel-lan knew that General Joe Johnston Iliad been wounded and disabled In the fight at Fair Oaks May 31. Up to that ttime Lee had acted In the capacity of <cblef of staff to President Davis, with glowers similar to those proposed for jthe head of the United States army un-der tho reorganization hill. He might liavo directed the maneuvers of Stone-iwall In tho Shennndoah during the month of May and the first week of June. He certainly ordered him to bring his troops to attack McClellan’s right flank on tho Chlckahomlny. Counting upon the arrival of McDow-ell’s corps from the Rappahannock to connect with his right Hank and thus shut ’off the possible designs of the en-emy for n Jackson swoop, McClellan pushed forward his line on June 25 end seized a height near Old Tavern for the erection of batteries which could shell Richmond. The next step would be the advance of two corps against the main defenses of Rich-mond. Meanwhile McClellan had rumors that Stonewall was moving down In the very path McDowell was expected to appear, lie telegraphed to Washing-ton for confirmation of the rumor or its denial, for the news came from a sus-picious character who told conflicting etorics and professed to he a Federal «t first, then said he was a Confederate deserter. But the war office at Wash-ington, with the aid of the generals supposed to bo looking after the wily Jackson, was totally in the dark, and it was left to Jackson himself to clear up tho mystery, which he did in due time. McClellan’s plan was to cross the whole of the Army of the Potomac to tho south of the Chlckahomlny for tho attack on Richmond, leaving the ground on tho north bank, his right flank, clear for McDowell to hold against any attempt from the north to PRINCE DK JOINVILLK AND THE GERMANS I AT GAINES MILD. flank bis fighting line. On June 25 the Fifth army corps, led by FItz Jobn Por-ter, occupied that ground. Its position covered the road leading to McClellan’s base of supplies at White House Land-ing, on the Pamunkey. Convinced at last that Stonewall was coming Instead of McDowell, McClellan ordered Porter to hold on as long as he could to give the heavy artillery, transport wagons and other materials time to either cross the Chlckahomlny or take shipping at White House Landing for the new base of his army which he would establish on Janus river, off bis left flank. Porter at once threw his troops Into o lino across the narrow peninsula be-tween the headwaters of the Cblcka-bomlny and the Pamunkey and be-gan to strengthen a line for a final Stand on the Gaines farm, in the vicin Ity of Cold Harbor. On the 20th of (Jane tb8 Confederates rushed forward )to attack Porter's extreme front on ifche Chlckahomlny, five miles from Richmond. Tho Intention of I.eo was to smash Porter and clear the road for Jackson when ho got up with his army to penetrate to McClellan's rear and cut his army from Its base. Many explanations of this campaign liavo been pul forward as history, but the truth Is us here stated nml comes from himself. Ho aimed to cut McClel-lan olT from his bonis nml then de-stroy him while straudod In the pen-insula. Tho fighting along Beaver Dam creek June 2(1 was desperate, nml the Confederates, led by Longstreet, D. It. Hill and A. P. IHII, Inst 2,000 men. The battle ended at night, and Por-ter's troops retired to the new fine of defense he laid prepared on Gaines’ farm, six miles In rear of the battle-field of June 2(1. This line was semi-circular, ami Porter's troops faced those of Longstreet and the Hills, moving down the Chlckahomlny, also a road leading down from north of Richmond to Cold Harbor, olT Porter’s right Hank. Along that road from tho north to Cold Harbor, past Porter’s center In-ward Cold Harbor, Stonewall Jack-son’s army marched after midday on June 27. Meanwhile tlioro had been terrible fighting on the battle front facing up tho Chlckahomlny stream, where Longstreet and A. P. Hill threw their soldiers against tho Federal trenches In order to break tho line. Lee's programme was Unit Longstreet and A. P. Hill should drive the enemy out of his left breastworks into the lines of Jackson ut the other end of tho semicircle. lint Porter und his men proved In-vincible for hours. Their guns tore up tho Confederate lines with horrible slaughter. Sometimes Longstreet’s men pierced the line only to be hurled back with thinned out ranks. In the heat of the fight a South Carolina regiment charged out of tho woods Into the open field and were met by Duryee’s New York zouaves, known In both armies ns the "Hod Legged Devils.” The zou-aves charged across the field, driving the Carolinians buck and carrying their Hag to tho edge of the woods. Retiring to tho main firing line, tho zouaves rested until the Carolinians took breath and started In again. Duryee’s men had lost heavily, and the alignment was destroyed, but the regiment parad-ed under fire, told off nml closed the gaps, then rushed forward, sweeping the field and gaining the woods the sec-ond time. McClellan sent from ncross the Chlckahomlny tho division of General Slocum from the Sixth corps to help Porter hold Ills ground. Slocum reach-ed the field lute In the day, just when Stonewall Jackson was driving hard to break down Porter’s right center and turn his right flank nt Cold Har-bor. Two French princes serving on the staff of McClellan rode Into battle with Slocum. The Due de Chartres, a mere boy, was sent by Porter to recall a New Jersey regiment which was iso-lated far out In front of the center and In danger of capture. The duke went out under lire, but the Jersey colonel asked for more definite orders before he would move, and the gallant Frenchman made the trip across tho bullet swept field to headquarters ami then back again. On returning to Porter’s side the duke found that his uncle, Prince de Joinville, was under fire and begged the general to ardor him away on some safe errand. But the old prince re-fused to go. In the march to the Hold he had met with a battery of Germans led by Captain Ilexamer, an exile from the European revolution of 18-48, In which the prince served ns a fighter for royalty. He had asked Porter to let him fight with the Germans on the free soil of America and refused to leave the guns. Hexamer’s men were fresh, and Porter’s line on tho left had been overwhelmed and broken by the desperate assaults of Longstreet. The Germans, inspired by the gallant prince, fought like heroes to cover the withdrawal of the front line to the hills surrounding the crossing of he Chlckahomlny. At that point the bat tie was fiercest, for Lee and Jackson hurled their soldiers against the can-non in a last hope of cutting off Por-ter from the main army. Stonewall’s own soldiers got to work at Gaines Mill too late to cut off the reserve from White House Landing. He tried to break Porter’s center first, and had the division of D. H. Hill, which supported Jackson that day, tarried the works in tho center Por-ter would have been lost. But the center held fust. Longstreet and A. P. Hill paused in their bloody march. About 4 o’clock there was a lull all over the field. Suddenly a fierce vol-ley of musketry burst out in the woods of Cold Harbor. The cry ran down the Federal line that McDowell’s corps hud come to the support of McClellan and the firing at Cold Harbor was the work of his troops. Then Porter was aved, and the combined armies would ;asb into Richmond. But nearer and nearer the firsts came to the Federal line, and soon upon the hilltops Btrange batteries went into action and began to shell the brigades of the Chlckahomlny. Tho guns were not Mc- Dowell's, but Stonewall Jackson’s. Un-der cover of night Porter crossed his troops to the south bank, and the ar-my of the Potomac stood on the de-fensive, with Lee and Jackson united on the front and rear. GEORGE L. KILMER. MRS.

Remember, I speak of the last emer-gency, when It has become absolutely impossible to hold the place. As for the garrison, the Russians will treat your troops as prisoners of war.” “I do not deny,” she replied, “that If I could put myself at the head of an-other army and continue to fight for my country I should consider It my duty to escape in case Gredskov were taken by assault and resistance here became useless. It would be equally the duty of the humblest soldier in the army. But we cannot lose this fight and yet continue the struggle. So 1 shall remain and share the fate of the troops.” “It is what I expected you to say,” he rejoined. “If you had spoken other-wise, you would not have been the wo-man who danced and sang with me at the students’ ball in Paris. I can only wish that the prince were equally steadfast.” "Kilziar?” queried Vera. “Again you wrong him. my friend. He may not succeed, but he will die fighting. Of thnt 1 am certain. lie may not win his way out of the city, but he will at least make the trial by tlie main gate and not by any secret way. He may be a man ns selfish as you think him, but it is sure that his selfishness now fights upon the side of our cause.” “For what reward?” asked Darrell, with a tremor of cold fear. “Even myself.” she replied. “My hand is promised to the prince if he can lead our army out of this city and cut a way through the ranks of the be-siegers.” “So good a soldier should win any battle for a prize so exalted,” answered Darrell, his voice sounding to him ns If it were an echo In the corners of the room. “We may then surely expect a sortie, and I trust you will permit me to wear a sword when the day comes.” He stepped back toward the door, as if to withdraw. Vera followed him with so steady and searching a glance that he could scarcely endure it. “I shall not be the first woman of princely rank,” she said, “who has torn out her heart as a gift to her country.” “Nor Kilziar the first scoundrel to exact such a pledge!” he cried; then, hastily: “Pardon me! I am not myself. If you have honored him even with a promise thus qualified, my lips should be sealed. Command me always.” Outside the rain still fell relentlessly. At a corner of the street two officers, meeting by chance, had stepped hack to the shelter of a projecting roof. Darrell, passing, recognized one of them as Korua. “This rain Is help from heaven,” cried the colonel. “A few days more of it, and those Russians will be in such a condition that we enn tear through them us if they were wet pa-per.” “You have hope, then?” said Darrell In a cheerful tone. “Plenty of it,” responded Ivorna. “The hills round Gredskov have a fe-ver of their own that the rain nour-ishes as if it were grass. Half their men will die of it, and, as it is particu-larly hard upon all who are past forty, their generals will all be fiat on their backs, with colonels and captains by the dozen to keep them company. We shall carve our way out of this place.” “I begin to believe you,” said his companion, “but what the devil we shall do afterward with the roads In this condition I don’t know.” “I asked Prince Kilziar that,” replied Korna, with a laugh. “He winked straight up into the air, as his habit is, and answered me that it made no dif-ference to him.” “It made no difference to him,” re-peated Darrell. “That is a hard say-ing to interpret, yet there is meaning in it. Good night, gentlemen.” CHAPTER XVIII. THE CZAR’S TERMS. OR five succeeding days there was no glimpse of the sun. The rain was not violent, but enough fell to keep the roads impassable and to drench the be-siegers. Rumors of their straits were rife in the city, and the defenders were in good spirits despite their own discom-fort. Then upon the sixth day the sun appeared in a rift between two storms, as the event proved, and the Russians honored him with a lively cannonade. There seemed no reason to anticipate a serious result from this fire. A cer-tain number of houses would certainly be destroyed and a few lives lost, but the Russian guns were not heavy enougli to affect the defenses. It was the unexpected, however, which hap-pened. Against all probability the en-emy’s shells reached the two largest food depots In the city and set them on fire. The buildings had been supposed to contain too little wood to burn. They were outwardly stone structures, and yet the flames found material within them for stubborn and disastrous con-flagrations. The Joss was almost crit-ical, and the knowledge of it depressed tlie army to an alarming degree. The rain set In again upon the fol-lowing day, but ceased nbout noon, though tlie clouds did not break. In the lull of the storm appeared a white flag advancing from the enemy, and it proved to cover a demand for surren-der. A defiant reply was returned, but to a subsequent suggestion for a con-ference a council of generals returned a favorable answer. “Kilziar advocated it,” said Korna in telling the news to Darrell. “They will offer terms, he said, and We shall learn something of their condition. Tlie suggestion was Hint Motmnn Khan witli an escort of five officers, meet General Panin, commander in chief of their forces, between the lines. It was considered unwise for the princess to He stepped back toward the door. appear ns the khan, and, moreover, she is physically unable to do it. The coun-cil was held today around her bed. We cannot carry her to the conference on a litter. Don’t be too anxious. It is mere exhaustion. However, to resume. Kilziar, of course, is out of tlie ques-tion. The Russians hold him to be a traitor and refuse to treat with him. General Durban will go ns the repre-sentative of the khan, and I am going with him.” “Will you take this message to the princess?” said Darrell. “I believe that my presence with General Durban may be of the greatest value to the Circas-sian army, and I beg of her us the greatest favor she can ever grant me that I may be permitted to form one of the general's escort.” Darrell waited in great anxiety for a reply to this plea, and lie was deeply gratified when Korua returned with word that he could go—in a colonel’s uniform. “Durban was consulted,” said Korna, “and he seemed pleased. The man has taken a great fancy to you.” “Tlmuk heaven I have cultivated his acquaintance during this siege,” re-plied Darrell. The conference was held in a tent pitched on a hillside midway between tlie lines. The rain had recommenced, and a rivulet could be heard running under the rough floor of boards. Upon entering, Darrell had seen first the tall figure of General Lyof Panin, the Rus-sian commander. He must have been n man of line presence at his best, but now his visage was grotesquely red-dened with fever and his eyes had al-most the look of madness. By his side stood Ivan Getcliikoff, the nan whom Darrell had hoped to see. Yet he was greatly surprised to note from the first formalities that Getcliikoff was the ranking officer present aside from Pa-nin. His uniform showed thnt he had been advanced another grade in the short time since Darrell had seen him In Gredskov, probably because he was the son of Ills distinguished father rather than for his own merits. Yet there should have been many who would rank him in so considerable an army. Doubtless the hill fever ac-counted for their absence, and Darrell remembered Ivorna’s saying that the disease prostrated men past forty. The conference opened with a plain statement from General Panin. He showed a good knowledge of the con-dition of the besieged, especially in the matter of food supply, and he pointed out with an old soldier’s precision the ultimate fall of the garrison. “Your battle is lost,” he said. “It is wise for you to make terms. I speak with the full authority of my gov-ernment when I say that peace is the principal aim sought. The mildness of the former czar in dealing with the revolt that was quelled In ’GO should be known to you all. The same policy will be pursued today if hostilities are at once suspended. There is no crav-ing for revenge if a full submission is made. We demand the delivery of the following prisoners, who have been leaders in this insane undertaking.” Here he read a list beginning with Prince Kilzlnr and ending with “the person styling himself Motman Khan.” The others were officers directly asso-ciated with the prince, and Durban himself was not one of them, to his own great surprise. Judging from the list, the purpose of Russia was to se-cure men who had held military coin-missions in her service at the time of tlie uprising, as Durban lmd not. The net was spread for traitorous soldiers. Upon the surrender of these persons, Panin continued, with the arms and armament of tlie force, a generul pa-role would be granted, and tlie troops would be permitted to return to their homes, supplies and means of protec-tion during the journey being guar-anteed. The terms were surprisingly liberal, but they were absolutely impossible under the circumstances. The immu-nity granted Durban was in itself a sufficient reason why he could give no favorable response. He replied In a calm tone, saying thnt the nature of tlie proposal was unexpected to him, that In order to secure consideration there must be a guarantee that the khan, Prince Kilziar and the others named would he treated as prisoners of war, but even so he could give no hope thnt n surrender would be made. He was proceeding toward certain sug-gestions of his own when suddenly, to the surprise of everybody, General I’nnln Interrupted him and burst Into a violent harangue, denouncing Kilziar and his associates in unmeasured terms and with epithets that seemed quite foreign to his nature, ns his previous speech had disclosed it. His own officers stared at him in amazement, and Darrell, standing in the darkest shadow to avoid recogni-tion by Getehikoff, knew not what to expect. Then suddenly in the midst of his speech the old general flung up both hands to his forehead and fell across The old general Jiang up both hands to his forehead. the table behind which he had been standing. When they raised him up, he was seen to be beyond the control of reason, raving and muttering in the de-lirium of fever. Help was summoned, and he was borne away. “He will surely die,” whispered Dur-ban to Darrell. “It is a pity; a fine old mnn.” “As the ranking officer of the Rus-sian forces before Gredskov,” said Ivan Getcliikoff, “I can only repeat what was said by my superior, now, unfor-tunately, Incapacitated for the further conduct of these negotiations. You have until tomorrow at noon to consid-er our proposals.” Durban and his suit bowed gravely and withdrew. As they returned to Gredskov the sun burst through the clouds, announcing the end of the storm. CHAPTER XIX. DESERTION. RINCESS VERA re-ceived General Dur-ban’s report with a cnlmness that would have done credit to a veteran of a dozen wars. She was lying on a couch that had been brought down to her military workshop, and she look-ed pitiably ill. Behind her stood the tall amazon whom Darrell had seen on the veranda in Vladikaukas, and the face of the stern and formidable old woman was deeply lined with anxiety. “This Is mere weariness,” said Vera. “It is possible that I may have over-taxed my strength. I am resting to prepnre me for the work that must come tomorrow. There is plainly but one course for us. Your report makes that certainty doubly sure. We could not surrender our comrades In arms even If our case were ten times more desperate than it is. We must break through their lines.” "We have no alternative,” replied Durban. “Heaven prosper us!” "Our plans are already made,” said Prince Kilziar, who was present with several of his most trusted officers. “I wish, however, that we could delay their attack for twenty-four hours.” “There is no possible chance of it,” answered General Durbnn. “We may as well dismiss the thought.” "Your pardon, general,” said Darrell; “I have reason to believe that I can ac-complish so much at least. I am in a position to exert personal influence up-on General Getehikoff.” Kilziar regarded Darrell with a scowl. Since the opening of the siege they had been on terms of armed neu-trality. “What is the nature of that influ-ence?” asked the prince. “If I disclose It to any one,” answer-ed Darrell, “It ceases to be valid. You must take my word in the dark that it exists." “This does not greatly encourage me,” rejoined Kilziar. “Nevertheless." said Yera, “Mr. Dar-rell’s plan should be tried. If he can prolong the negotiations for a day, we shall have better roads for our mnrch westward, and the enemy will gain nothin!.'.” “1 require no more than permission to speak with General Getehikoff alone,” said Darrell. "You will not get It from him." growled Kilziar. “1 think we waste time.” Darrell merely bowed. He had caught the eye of General Durbnn and was satisfied by a glance that he would have no obstacle put in his way when tlie conferees should meet again on tlie morrow. Vera lmd seen this by-play. and she also remained silent. Durban presently withdrew and Dnr- \ PONY CART OlITTir TRIE.

They walked together in silence toward a point of the fortifi-cations which commanded what must be the field of their endeavor if they should make the attempt to cut the Russian lines. There seemed to be n considerable movement of tlie Russian troops. “They are closing in a hit,” said Dur-ban after a long look through Ids field-glasses. “Upon my word, they are not ell dead of fever!” "General,” said Darrell, “you are an old soldier ami a good one. Have we a chance?” “None whatever,” replied the gen-eral, with impressive calm. “The formation of the country enables the enemy to plant guns beyond our range, yet sweeping every road by which we can move out. There is no way far us to get our own guns into effective action, for they would shoot us off the face of the earth while we were lim-bering up. Only tlie merest rags of our army would ever get through, and they could never got together again Into an effective military body. A picked force might surround the prin-cess and carry her to safety, but the chances would be against it.” “Do yoq think thnt is what Prince Kilziar means to do?” “I know not.” answered Durbnn, “but this 1 know—whatever he intends, it is not what lie says.” Further than that the general de-clined to speak, and the two men fell to praising a gorgeously beautiful sun-set which might well be the last that they would ever see. “By the way.” said Durban as they were nbout to separate, “you shall have your chance with Getehikoff tomorrow. What do you hope to accomplish—a day’s delay?" “I fear I can do little,” answered Darrell. “The situation essentially in-volves defeat, whether in battle or ne-gotiation. Kilziar and his friends are the rock on which my hopes are wreck-ed.” “There might be a way to get them out of the camp,” said Durban, staring gloomily at the black precipices behind the town. “It would do no good,” answered Darrell. “Unless they are delivered up tlie Russians will take the city. Sooner or later they will surely take it, and that means massacre. It means the death of the princess, whom you and i would give our lives to save, for rest assured she will not be made prisoner.” “And our softie tomorrow,” said Dur-ban, “is only the same thing under an-other name.” “Tlie best we can hope for is a mere postponement.” continued Darrell. “1 may secure delay from Getehikoff, but no influence can force him to do the im-possible. He has uo authority to make any terms or even to show mercy, while Kilziar, whom the czar holds to be a traitor utterly beyond pardon, remains a leader of our forces or sheltered with-in our lines. So there’s the situation. What can we make of it?” “Tomorrow will show,” answered Durban, returning Darrell’s gesture of farewell. Darrell spent a part of the evening in searching for Kevskl and the balance in hard smoking and harder thinking. Somewhat after midnight he betook himself to bed and by the exercise of great determination went to sleep. He was awakened shortly after day-break by a hasty summons from the princess. She was dressed in her mili-tary uniform, even to sword and dag-ger, but when she attempted to rise from a chair upon Darrell’s entrance she fell back again, lacking the strength to stand. Behind her stood the ama-zon, hollow eyed, ghastly pale, the pic-ture of despair that is too proud to be afraid. Vera looked at Darrell steadily for some seconds and then said with dire brevity: “Prince Kilziar has left Gredskov.” Darrell was stunned. “In the night?” he cried. “Yes; in the night.” “He has deserted you!” exclaimed Darrell. “It is more than I would have accused him of.” [TO BE CONTINUED.] A Spreading Chestnnt. “It doesn’t take much to make some people conceited.” “What now?” “Why. since the village blacksmith learned how to mend automobiles he calls himself a blacksmythe.”—Chica-go News. • Not Able to Share It.

VOL. 30, MOUNT PUT}ASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1002 NO. 32.
DEMAND
DISCHARGE
OE POLICEMEN
Who Are Alleged to Have Been
Intoxicated
AT THE UNIONTOWN REUNION
WHEN THEY ARRESTED THREE
TENTH REGIMENT OFFICERS.
Captain Loar, of this Place, One of the
Victims, Wrote Burgess Rutter Re-questing-
That This he Done, But, Ac-cording
to Mayor Frank’s Statement
in the Pittsburg Sunday Papers, he
Hasn’t Much Intention of Doing Any-thing
of the Kind.
The arrest of three officers of the
Tenth Pennsylvania regiment—Captain
Loar and Lieutenant Thompson, of this
place, and Sergeant Major Wilson, of
Washington, Pa.—at Uniontown last
Thursday evening, at the close of the
third annual reunion of that famous
command, continues to cause no little
comment, especially among old gnards-
^ men who are a unit in demanding the
discharge of the offending policemen—
A. J. Doran. Jesse Shaffer, John Seese
and William Hager.
Captain Loar sent a personal letter to
Burgess Rutter Friday, setting forth
the indignities he and his brother
officers had been subjected to during
their brief imprisonment and demand-ing
the dismissal of the policemen, of
whose intoxication profit would beforth
coming if needed. Judging from a
statement in the Pittsburg Sunday
papers, made by Burgess Rutter, it does
not seem likely that he has any inten-tion
of changing the membership of his
police force.
The Burgess claims that both soldiers
and citizens interfered when the police
tried to arrest two civilians, a white
man and a negro, for fighting in front
of the Central Hotel. Then a colored
Knight of Pythias had his high silk hat
smashed and when he objected was
knocked down by Lieutenant Thompson
who was arrested because he refused to
stop swearing.
At this time Captain Loar saw Thomp-son
struggling with Officers Seese and
Shafer and started toward them yell-ing,
“Company E!" The Burgess says
the captain grabbed Officer Seese by the
back of the neck and arm while the sol-diers,
who were attracted by Captain
Loar’s yells, took Prisoner Thompson
from the police.
A few minutes later the police found
Captain Loar sitting in the hotel office
and arrested him for interfering with an
officer, and the real trouble began.
When Burgess Rutter reached the
lockup along with the mob, he could
not get in, and while trying to break
A through the mob, Colonel Bierer met
him. Bierer said it would not do to keep
the officers in there and Rutter agreed
with him and as soon as he could force
his way in he released them. The Bur-gess’
statement then continues:
“One word from Captain Loar would
have put everything right. If he had
said, ‘Officers, I will go to the lockup
with yon and Lieutenant Thompson,
and we will adjust this matter,’ there
would not have been any exhibition of
the worst side at all. The officers were
instructed to give the Tenth boys the
widest latitude and they had it, but
when it comes to knocking people in the
head with canes, to continue cursing
after being called by an officer, it is
time to bring a halt.”
Burgess Rutter contradicts the report
that the police were intoxicated and
asks any one to make an affidavit to that
effect and he will report them to Council.
On Wednesday last Captain Loar re-ceived
a reply to his letter to Burgess
Rutter who said: “I have nothing to
do with the employing of the police, or
the discharging them from duty.” It is
likely that at least Sergeant Wilson will
bring an action for damages, while the
others will be guided by their Union-town
attorney in whose hands the mat-ter
has been placed.
Mountain Campers.
James C. Guy, George Miller, Edward
Overholt, John Freed, Frank Miller,
with Ed. Strawder as cook, are at Con-fluence
for a two weeks’ camping. Eu-gene
Warden and John Springer, of
Uniontown, will join them the latter
part of this week.
Scottdale’s Troubles.
Burgess Owens and the Scottdale
Council are on the outs over the recent
discharge of Policeman James Caldwell,
the retention of Policeman William Mc-
Whorton and the appointment of John
Shay to fill the vacancy on the force. A
sensational investigation is promised.

A NEW TRIAL
Granted James Washington, the Con-victed
Dunbar Murderer.
A new trial was granted James Wash-ington
at Uniontown Friday. He is the
colored man who was convicted in the
first degree for the murder of John Cal-lahan,
in the company of Myrtle Ste-vens,
at Dunbar, the girl accusing
Washington of assaulting her after he
had shot her companion. Newly discov-ered
evidence and error of the court
were grounds for asking for a new trial.
In the new evidence it is alleged that
Myrtle Stevens, the chief witness for
the Commonwealth, told an intimate
friend, Carrie Shipley, that if John Cal-lahan
did not stop running with another
girl she would kill him, and that she
had a revolver and never went without
it. Similar threats against Callahan

have been made.

ACHSAH KING’S
MURDERER
ARRESTED
In the Person of Joseph Allen,
of Steubenville, 0.
PITTSBURG POLICE ARE SURE
THAT THEY HAVE THE MAN WHO
DID THE TERRIBLE DEED.
Detective John Roach Ran Allen Down
Tuesday at Findlay, Ohio, Where! he
was Stopping With His Sister. ;The
Prisoner Fainted Dead Away When
Told That he was Wanted. Strong Cir-cumstantial
Evidence Against Him.
The mystery surrounding the murder
of Achsah King, the Mount Pleasant
girl, who was stabbed to death in a
Pittsbnrg saloon two weeks ago, is be-lieved
to have been clenred up Tuesday
when Detective John Roach arrested
Joseph Allen, of Stenbenville, Ohio, at
the home of his sister at Findley, that
state, the prisoner being bronght back
to jail at Pittsbnrg the next day. When
the detective laid his hand on his shoul-der
Allen fainted dead away. The po-lice
are confident they now have the
right man.
Allen is a sinster-looking, low browed
individual, lithe and swarthy, 26 years
old, and has been twice married, his
present wife having a divorce suit now
pending. He declines to talk of the
murder or of his arrest, but made no re-sistance
to leaving Ohio without requi-sition
papers.
Detective Roach went to Findlay with
a letter to guide him, which Joseph Al-len
had sent to his brother, Levi Allen,
at Steubenville, and which Roach se-cured
Sunday after putting Levi Allen
through a cross-examination and get-ting
all the facts of the murder, just as
Joseph Allen, it is alleged, had told
them to his brother.
Allen, according to bis brother's story,
murdered the woman because of jeal-ousy,
after she told him she did not want
anything more to do with him and he
had asked if she meant it. Allen said
to his brother, it is alleged, that he had
then left the scene of the murder and,
walking down street, passed two police-men,
went into another place and into a
water closet, and after dropping the
knife in the closet washed the blood off
his hands.
He then went to Steubenville and
tried to make up with his wife, who is
suing for divorce, but negotiations fail-ed,
and it was then that he intimated
to his brother that he had killed a
woman, saying, “I have just killed one
woman and 111 finish Lil (meaning his
wife) before I go. ”
He then related the details of the
murder and left. Allen, after going
away, went back and his brother bought
him a revolver and gave him some
money. The detective used this acces-sory
matter in persuading Levi Allen to
tell what he knew.
Mrs. Allen has not lived with her hus-band
for over a year, and has not spoken
to him in that time. It is alleged that
Allen was mixed up mysteriously with
the death of a man named Headley
somewhere along the river.
Happy Family Reunion.
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Moyemont held
a reunion Friday last at their East
Washington street home for all their
children and grand children. The rarty
consisted of five children and five grand
children. The former are Mrs. N. M.
Crusan, of this place; Mrs. L. A. Harrer,
Scottdale; Mrs. George McNabb, of
Toledo, Ohio, and sons George and
Victor, who are still at home. Quite a
delightful day was spent and all enjoyed
the splendid delicacies.
Good Substitute for Beer.
A man who keeps a stand at Oakford
Park, near Jeannette, has been arreste* *
and bound over to court on a charge (i
illegal liquor selling for having handled
a drink called “Pomora,” This mixture
is made in Pittsburg and sold by agents
who claim it contains only 2 per cent,
alcohol. The Westmoreland liquor
traffic people had it analyzed, however,
and they say it is almost as strong as
beer, like which it both looks and tastes.
Death of an Old Minister.
Rev. Reuben Honk Bolton died at his
Findlay, Ohio, home Monday last of
kidney trouble, aged 67 years. He en-tered
the Church of God ministry in
1855, preaching at different times in this
section. He was a brother-in-law of H.
W. Stoner, of this place, at whose for-mer
home near Alverton he was mar-ried
to Miss Magdalena F. Stoner in
1859. She and four children, two sons
and two daughters, survive.

A GUN AND A
GUNBOAT •
® ©
E[Copyright, 1902, by a. L. Kilmer.] ARLY 111 June, 1802, Federal
steam rams and gunboats un-der
Cfllonel Eilat and Commo-dore
Dhvis cleared the Confed-erate
fleet from the Mississippi above
Vicksburg. Everything afloat that es-caped
annihilation took refuge in wa-ters
flowing in through Arkansas. Gen-eral
T. C. Hindman commanded what
remained of Confederate forces in Ar-kansas
and, surmising that the enemy’s
warships might take the notion to in-spect
the interior of Ills bailiwick, or-dered
the troops and vessels on White
river to make a stand nt the bluffs be-low
St. Charles, a point 100 miles from
the Mississippi.
The expedition for the defense of the
bluff consisted of the gunboats Pont-ehartrain
and Maurepas, with 100 men,
on the ground, and Colonel Allison Nel-son’s
Texas regiment on the way from
the Lone Star State to re-enforce Hind-man
where they could do the most good.
Thirty-five rifles were all the weapons
that could be scraped up for the 100
men. The unarmed men were set to
work to obstruct the channel.
Captain Joseph Fry of the Maurepas
was the inspiring genius of the defense.
He had served in the old A'nited States
navy. Fry was a gallant warrior, tall,
well proportioned, handsome and in-telligent,
modest and brave. Lieuten-ant
J. W. Hunnington was commander
of the Pontchartrain, and Captain A.
C. Williams handled the land troops.
Two 32 pounder rifles from the Pont-chartrain
were placed in battery on the
bluffs to be worked by the crew of the
vessel. Down stream from Dunning-ton’s
battery Fry placed four guns
from his own ship, and still farther
down Williams stationed the thirty-five
riflemen as sharpshooters.
Just above the batteries the Confed-erates
began a row of piles, hoping to
bring the enemy’s vessels to a stand
under the guns of the batteries. The
sudden appearance of the enemy put
an end to the work, but Fry scuttled
and sunk the Maurepas, with two
transports, between the piles and the
bank on either side. Fry got news of
a formidable expedition coming up the
river, but every hour brought Nelson's
Texans nearer, and he decided to wait
and fight.
During the night of June 10 the ene-my
anchored just below the batteries.
The fleet consisted of the ironclads
Mound City and St. Louis and the
wooden gunboats Conestoga and Tyler.
Colonel G. N. Fitch, whose regiment,
the Forty-sixth Indiana, was on board,
commanded the expedition, and A. H.
Kilty of the Mound City was chief of
the flotilla. Early on the morning of
the 17th Colonel Fitch landed his men
below the bluffs and marched along
the heights to engage Williams’ sharp-shooters.
At the same time the fleet,
led by the Mound City, steamed ahead
and tossed shell and grape into the
woods and bushes along shore.
Fry’s guns kept silent until the Mound
City came abreast of his lower battery,
the naval rifles from the Maurepas. A
broadside from these guns drew the
fire of all the fleet upon the batteries,
and at the same time Williams’ sharp-shooters
were hunted out of their lair
by the shell and small shot from the
gunboats and the bullets of Fitch’s
skirmishers. Under cover of the gun-boat
firp Fitch pushed his men up to
the rear of the lower battery and after
looking the ground over signaled to
Kilty that he would storm the place
unless the sailors preferred to take all
the work of silencing them. Kilty
quickly responded that the navy would
take the contract alone. The land
troops could not do good execution
while the gunboat fire swept over the
crest of the bluff.
Captain Kilty brought the Mound
City to directly in front of Fry’s four
gun battery and pounded it with shot
for an hour. Meanwhile Dunnington
trained his guns upon the Mound City.
At that Kilty signaled the St. Louis
and her wooden consorts to steam up
close and engage the lower battery
while the Mound City took care of the
upper one. Dunnington’s guns proved
to be a considerable distance apart
Captain Kilty passed the first under a
good headway without silencing it
and his ship was soon between the
fire of two heavy guns in point blank
range.
For an hour and a half the ships
fought the batteries. Fitch’s men at
the same time crowded the riflemen
buck upon the bluffs. Fry took alarm
at the unexpected boldness of Fitch’s
men and sent word to D.unnington,
urging him to send to the rear of the
bluffs every man that could be spared
from the guns. It was the crisis of
the fight, and Nelson’s Texans were
not yet on hand. , Dunnington stayed
by the gun farthest up stream. Hav-ing
an unobstructed range of the dar-ing
ironclad, he took careful aim and
landed a shell near her bow that for
destructiveness stands unrivaled in the
history of naval gunnery. The mis-sile
crashed through the plating of the
Mound City on the port side, killed
eight men at the gun nearest its track
and then passed through the steam
drum fore and aft. Volumes of scald-ing
steam poured through the gun
chambers, and in an instant the proud
ironclad became a ship of anguish and
death. The slowly turning wheel kept
on revolving until the bow of the ves-sel
was close inshore near the Confed-erate
guns. Dunnington saw that his
shot had torn through the vitals of his
antagonist and ceased firing. Colonel

Fitch anxiously watched the progress
of the gunboat fight from his position
on the bluff. He was a new volunteer,
untrained In war, but what he lacked
In training he made up In good sense
and courage. Seeing the Mound City
moving blindly Inshore and sailors
Jumping headlong through the ports
and from the decks into the water,
with clouds of steam belching from
the hatches, he concluded that Kilty
and the Ironclad were .put of the fight.
First signaling the St. Louis, Conesto-ga
and Tyler to cease firing, he rushed
his men upon the.bntteries. YVilllams’
riflemen were seen to he firing upon
the struggling sailors In the water, and
Fitch told his best marksmen to pay
attention to them, while the main body
dashed for the guns of the four gun
battery. Fry had left the guns and
hurried to the upper battery to consult
with Dunnington and Williams, but on
the return met Fitch's men between
the two batteries. Rallying what men
he could call around him, he made a
final stand behind Dunnington’s guns,
but was soon shot down and captured.
When ordered to stop firing by Fitch,
the commander of the St. Louis steam-ed
up and hooked on to the Mound
City. She had been deserted by all
her ablebodied men. Kilty was severe-ly
scalded ami lost an arm shot away.
Ilis crew of 173 was reduced to twen-ty-
three fit for duty. In the ensemate
where the shot took effect eighty-three
were killed by the enemy’s fire or by
scalding steam. In the water twenty-five
wounded sailors were picked up
and also the bodies of forty-two who
had jumped from the ship. Some of
these last were struck by the bullets
of the Confederate sharpshooters, who

and I feel as if I could eat the whole

In ten minutes more he saw them
rising to the surface and poured the
contents of the kettle into a pan to cool.
In a dim way he remembered that his
mother used to put in flavorings, and,
hunting through the cupboard,he found
vanilla and cinnamon and put them in
with a generous hand. As he cooled n
spoonful, however, there seemed to lie
something lacking, and after a mo-ment's
thought he went up stairs and
queried of Mrs. Bowser:
“Don’t you remember that 1 bought
a bottle of wiutergreeu essence some
time ago? It's exactly what mother
used to use in her candy. Bless me,
but how many times In my boyhood
I have hunted for the delicious whiter-green
berries!”
“If there is any, you’ll find It In the
right linnd cupboard,” she replied, “but
you want to be careful. There are a
lot of other bottles there. It smells as
i if you had scorched the molasses.”
I “Just enough to give it the right
I taste. I’ll show you some candy that
: is candy in about ten minutes. If this
smell gets out on the street, everybody
will be wanting a taste.”
There were a score of bottles In the
cupboard, and Air. Bowser ran his eye
over them and selected one and sniffed
its contents and poured them Into the
dish and stirred vigorously. This was
the finishing touch. He waited to
! grease his hands with butter and then
bore the dish up stairs in triumph and
set It down under Mrs. Bowser’s nose
and said:
I “If you don’t sny that this bents any-thing
you ever tasted. I'll buy you the
nicest bat in town. Pitch right in.”
I “It lias a queer smell,” she replied as
she sniffed at it.
| “Your nose must he off. The smell is
, simply delicious, and as for the taste—
ah—urn!”
I There was only one “ah—um!” He
began to choke ns he chewed, but recol-lecting
that Mrs. Bowser had opposed
him lie bravely hung on until she sud-denly
rose up and said:
j “Are you sure yon got the right bottle
out of the cupboard?"
“Of course I'm sure. What's the mut-ter
with you?"
“it smells ns If you had flavored it
with benzine. I know the cook had a
bottle of it to clean a collar.”
I “But do you think I’m such a fool
that I can't tell benzine from wlnter-j

pale and lost Ills taste for old fashion-i
ed molasses candy in an instant.
“We will see.”

j than a house, but he had doped his

asked as lie turned red and white and
a look of fear came into his eyes.

in reply,

took command of the famous blockade
runner Eugenie, which boldly cruised
under the Confederate flag. When the
warships of Butler’s noted expedition
against Fort Fisher, N. C., were pour-ing
shots into the fort from hundreds
of guns, he attempted to run a cargo
of powder into the beleaguered fort.
Signals were given from the shore to
Fry to scuttle his ship and save the
crew, but by lighting her he took her
into port minus only part of the valua-ble
cargo.
At the close of the war Fry settled in
Albany, N. Y., and finally found a new
field of ndventure as captain of the
Cuban filibustering steamer Virginius,
which attempted to land the expedition
of General Washington Ryan on Cu-ban
soil in 1873. The ship fell into the
hands of the Spaniards, and the brave
Fry, with fifty-three of bis men, was
dealt with after the summary manner
of Spain, although he protested vig-orously
that as a United States citizen
he should be given a trial.
During the war and at the time of
the Virginius episode it was said that
Fry ordered the sharpshooters to fire on
Kilty’s men In the water at St. Charles.
The firing was done from near Dun-aington’s
battery, and at the time of it
Fry was not in the vicinity.

The cat came up from the basement
and saw that there was fun ahead and
sat down to yait for developments.
“I am sorry if I hurt your feelings,”
said Mrs. Bowser after a time, “but it
never occurred to me to connect senti-ment
and molasses candy. There are
songs about boyhood and pear trees,
cider mills, babbling brooks and all
that, and 1 don’t know why they
shouldn’t sing of boyhood and molasses
candy. The cook has just gone up-stairs,
and you can have the kitchen
all to yourself.”
Mr. Bowser walked to and fro and
looked at her. but ns she said no more
he finally descended the stairs and be-gan
to work. The cat followed him,
and as she saw him poking up the fire
and pouring the molasses into a kettle
she walked around and gurgled to her-self.
When the jug had been emptied,
the kettle was placed on the stove, and
Mr. Bowser sat down with a big spoon
in hand to stir the contents and call up
old recollections. There were more
recollections than stir, and as a con-sequence
Mrs. Bowser soon got the
ecent of scorched molasses. She didn’t
feel it her duty to make any Investiga-tion,
however. Even when the kettle
suddenly boiled over and a great cloud
of smoke swept across the kitchen and
upstairs, causing Mr. Bowser to cough
and the cat to sneeze, she made no In-terruption.

as he stirred away. “There was al-ways

Mr. Bowser tottered to a chair and
sat down and thought and thought At

THE 0L0 HUNTER’S STORY OF A
CRITTER LOOKING FOR BLOOD.

Van Suddenly Pnt to FIIKilt After
It.-inK lleaten Beyond Kxiieetntloiin
^ by Zeb’H Good "Wife.
O[Copyright, 1902, by C. B. Lewis ! NE October day Zeb White,
the possum hunter of Ten-nessee,
took me along with
him when he went the rounds
of his woodchuck traps, nnd as we
were coming home he told me this sto-ry:
“I worked so hard fur three or fo’
y’nrs arter the wall that I got all run
down nnd couldn't sknssly git about.
Thnr was days when I felt purty well
and dnys when I jest sot around nnd
hadn’t strength ’nuff to move outdoahs.
That same y’nr a critter named Pike
moved into the nayburliood. He was
Il'H'
"KOW, THEN, ZEB WHITE, CUM OUT YEBE 1”
from Alabamy, I believe, and he let it
be known powerful soon that he was
a hefty mnn in a scrimmage. He talk-ed
so loud and blowed so high that ev-erybody
was skeart of him, and he
Jest went around steppin’ high and
bossin’ the roost. That critter used to
cum down to my cabin and brag and
blow and tell how many men he’d
licked, nnd one day I gin him plain to
understan’ that 1 didn’t believe his sto-ries.
That made him mad, and he
went away sayin’ as how he’d wallop
me fur his next victim. He knowed 1
was in pore health and couldn’t fight n
fly, but every two or three days he’d
cum down and stand in front of the
cabin and yell:
“ ‘Now, then, Zeb White, cum out
yere and git the awfulest wallopin’ a
human critter ever received! I’m no
hand to brag, but I kin tie both hands
behind me and then chaw yo’ up in
two minits. I’ve licked forty-seven
different men and never got my nose
skinned. Either own up that yo’ dasn’t
fight a man or cum out nnd be wal-loped.’
“That’s the way he’d talk to me,”
continued Zeb, “and I’d git so mad
that I cried like a child. Bimeby I
begun to git a leetle better, and one
day when he was callin’ on me to cum
fo’tli nnd be walloped I told him that
if he’d show up a week from that day
I'd tackle him. He went away crack-in’
his heels nnd whoopin’ and rejoic-in’,
nnd the old woman sez to me, sez
she:
“ ‘Zeb White, if yo’ was a well man
yo’ could wallop that critter befo’ I
could make a hoecake, but yo’ve bin
down the banks all summer, and yo’
can’t git well in a week. I’m sorry
yo’ passed yo’r word, but bein’ it's
passed we’ll hev to abide by it. I’ll
L git whisky and roots tomorrer and
brace yo’ up.’ ”
“And did you get better?” I asked.
“No; I got wuss. Whisky and roots
didn’t do me no good. When the week
was up, I was in bed and too feeble
to walk across the room. That pesky
critter knowed jest how it was with
me, nnd ylt he cum and stood in front
of the cabin nnd shouted to the ole
woman:
“ ‘Ar’ this the dwellin’ place of a
varmint named Zeb White?'
“ ‘She be.’
“ ‘Calls hisself the possum hunter of
Tennessee, don’t he?’
“ ‘Yes; he do.’
“ ‘Has wrassled with b’ars and wild-cats
and painters and thinks hisself
powerful on the fight?’
“ ‘That’s my Zeb.’
“ ‘Then I hain’t made no mistake.
Would yo’ do me the everlastln’ kind-ness
to tell him to step out yere while
I chaw his ears off and stay my hun-ger.’
“ ‘He’s sick abed just now, but if
yo’II cum back arter dark he’ll make
yo’ eat grass and beller like a calf.’
“ ‘Then yo’ kin be lookin’ fur me,
Widder White. I’ll be kinder sorry to
see death take him from yo’, but I
must hev him fur my forty-eighth vic-tim.
Good arternoon, Widder—White;
good arternoon.’
“That’s how they talked,” said Zeb
as he heaved a rock at a snake sun-ning
itself on a rock, “and of co’se 1
heard every word of it. I jest couldn’t
help weepin’ with my madness. How
f was I to go out and fight him when 1
couldn’t git outer bed? That’s what
I asked the ole woman, and she sorter
winked and smiled and sez to me, sez
she:
“ ‘Zeb, doan’ yo’ worry no mo’ ’bout
this wallopin’ bizness. but leave it all
to me. If that varmint shows up here
tonight, he’ll be the wust licked man
In all Tennessee befo’ he gits away.’
“ ‘But who’s gwlne to lick him?’
“ ‘Never yo’ mind.’
“She wouldn’t say no mo’,” contin-ued
Zeb, “and I was too feeble to Ag-ger
it out. I cried myself to sleep, and
it was arter dark when I woke up.
That thar varmint had cum back,
’cordin’ to promise, and was 1U front
of the cabin a-slioutin’:
‘“Zeb White, the time has cum fur
yo’ to be pulverized. Mebbe I won't
do no mo’ than chaw yo’r ears off and
cripple yo’ fur life, but I’ll do that
much fur shore. Cum outer yo’r hole
nnd stand up to me like a man.’
“Jest about the time lie begun to
holler my ole woman begun to git outer
her clothes and Inter mine.
“ ‘What yo’ gwlne to do?’ sez I.
“ ‘Gwlne out to wallop that critter
or die,’ sez she.
“ ‘But yo' ar’ a woman, and he’s a
powerful fighter.’
“ ‘Zeb White, yo’ snuggle down nnd
keep quiet. He’s cum fur a fight. He’s
bin premised one and has to hev It.
As yo’ can’t fight him, I shall, nnd I’m
a-feelin’ that the Lord will put a jaw-bone
inter my hand to slather him.’
"It wasn’t no use to talk to her.
When she got dressed up, she looked
like a man, nnd as she stood in the
door that varmint cracked his heels
together and crowed like n rooster. 1
jest had the strength to git to the win-der,
and 1 saw all that took place.
When the feller had crowed and crack-ed,
he yelled out:
“ ‘My forty-eighth victim ar’ now be-fo’
me to be chawed. Speak up, Zeb
White, and tell me which ear yo’d
rather I'd begin on to git up my appe-tite.
Whoop, whoop-ee!' ”
“And about the fight?” 1 asked, as
Zeb was silent for several minutes.
“It was full of surprises,” he an-swered.
“That varmint was only a
blowhard arter all. The ole woman
walked around him two or three times
and then sailed In. Ho hollered at the
fust jump and tried to git away, but
she wouldn’t let him. She scratched,
kicked and pulled ha’r, and when she
finally let up on him he wouldn’t hev
looked wuss if half a dozen b’ars had
played with him. I’ve seen a heap of
men walloped, but he was the wallop-edest
man of the hull lot.”
“And he didn’t know it was a wo-man?”
I asked.
“Never knowed it till he got home
and his own wife examined the claw
marks and the bites. The story got
around, and purty soon he had to jest
pull up and move away. He had bln
licked by a woman, and it was the
wuss lickin’ he ever got.”
“And how did Mrs. White come out
of it?”
“She didn’t git a scratch, but I’ve
alius bin sorry about it”
“For what reason?”
“Waal,” said Zeb as he turned his
face away from me, “befo’ that fight
she was a mighty humble woman and
left all the bossin’ to me. Sence then
she’s—she’s”—
“She's not so humble?”
“Jest so; jest got the idea that she
kin wallop me, same as she did him,
and thar ar’ days when she’s all ready
to make a try at it. Spiles a woman to
git such noshuns in her head—of co’se
it does.”
And an hour after we got home that
evening I overheard her saying to him:
“Now, Zeb White, yo’ git me up a
heap of firewood by the back doah to-morrer
or take the consequences, nnd
I’m tellin’ yo’ that them same conse-quences
will make yo’r back ache fur a
hull month to cum.” M. QUAD.

A YOUNG LADY’S LIFE SAVED.
At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a profninent phy-sician,
of Panama, Colombia, in a re-cent
letter states: “Last March I had as
a patient a young lady sixteen years of
age,who had a very bad attack of dys
entery. Everything I prescribed for
her proved ineffectual and she was
growing worse every hour. Her parents
were sure she would die. She had be-come
so weak that she could not turn
over in bed. What to do at this critical
moment was a study for me, but I
thought of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last re-sort
prescribed it. The most wonderful
result was effected. Within eight hours
she was feeling much better; inside of
three days she was upon her feet and at
the end of one week was entirely well.”

UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
The arrest of Captain Loar, Lieutenant
Thompson and Sergeant Major Wilson
by Uniontown policemen at the close of
the third annual reunion of the Tenth
regiment in that place last Thursday
evening was a most unfortunate affair,
not only for the victims but for the
hospitable citizens who doubtless regret
it most of all.
THE JOURNAE did everything in its
power to lay the facts before its readers
in last week's issue and, while the time
for investigation was short, we have no
corrections to make now despite the
defense of his officers made in the Pitts-burg
Sunday papers by Burgess Rutter
who was not an eye witness to either
the arrests or the rough treatment given
the prisoners at the lockup before his
arrival and, therefore, had to depend
upon hearsay for his information
Naturally, he is prejudiced in favor of
the members of his force.
There is little room for doubt that the
policemen were under the influence of
liquor, as many persons who were pres-ent
have expressed a desire to be per
mitted to testifv that such was their
condition and, such having been the
case, the request for their discharge, as
made in writing to Burgess Rutter by
Captain Loar, should be granted. •

TENTH ANNUAL
A FISHERMAN’S LUCK.
United States Senator Quay, who was
■down to hear what the sad sea waves at
Atlantic City had to say, had a narrow
escape from drowning last Sunday. He
had gone out in a little smack, called
for himself, with his old-time friend
Ben Sooy, and was caught in a storm
about ten miles from shore, It blew
great guns and for a time the Beaver
Statesman feared he and Benjamin
were booked for Davy Jones' locker
But the little boat weathered the tem-pest
and the occupants finally landed
safely at Brigantine. In speaking of
his trying experience the Senator said
“We threw over the anchor and tried
to grin and bear it. Then the rain
caught us and for a time it looked as if
a cloudburst was paying its compli
ments to Neptune. The sea continued
to get rough and I saw in the distance
a mighty wave coming towards us.
was wondering how we were ever going
to ride that wave.
“In a moment the M. S. Quay shot up
on its crest. We came near going out
over the stern of the boat and a second
later it seemed we were standing on our
heads. How we ever got over that hill
of water is a mystery, but we did. It
was so dark that land could not be seen
and I knew I was up against it as I had
never been before.
“The sun came out after the rain had
fallen for about three hours and we lost
no time in getting back to land and
friends. We had drifted several miles
out to sea and it was a lucky thing that
we were not caught by night.”
Of course, we are]glad that the voyage
ended as it did, but the “Old Man”
ought to know better than to go fishing
on Sunday.
County Sunday School Convention to be
Held at Greenshurg.
The tenth annual convention of the
Westmoreland County Sunday School
Association will be held at the Second
Reformed church, Greenshurg, August
28-29, 1902. The committee to whom
is entrusted the work of preparing for
the convention has set forth the highest
ideals. The program now in process of
crystalization will embody the best
talent available. There will be nothing
prosy or dull. Only that which will
help conventioners to greater efficiency
is sought.
Believing that Sunday school conven-tions
deepen Sunday echool convictions
and that to ignore Sunday school con
ventions is to be ignorant of the best
Sunday school methods, the president has
given much time and earnest thought
to the work of the coming convention.
Only the best is good enough. Such a
course persisted in will soon bring our
schools up to a high grade of excellence
But however good the prepared food
will do no good except it he received
and used by the workers. It is but a
fitting response to President Tuesing’H
work that every school send representa-tives
(no limit to the number you may
send) to the convention, so that the
good things of the meeting may get
into each school’s life.
The Pennsylvania railroad will sell
tickets from all points in the county at
reduced rates on the card order plan.
Orders can be secured upon application
to Rev. J. H. Leitch, Jeannette, Pa

delegates free. Send yonr name to
Bennett Rksk, Greenshurg, not later
than August 26. Arrange to attend
this largest of all county S. S. meetings.
SECOND ANNUAL REUNION
THEiNational Guard soldiers, called
out to suppress rioting among the an-thracite
coal strikers, have had a quiet
time the past week. It seems strange
that the operators have not made hay
vwhile the sun was shining.
Of the Descendants of the Late Rev.
James Davidson.
The descendants of the late Rev.
James Davidson held their second an
nual reunion at Bellevernon Wednesday.
Among the towns represented were
Washington, Mount Pleasant, Scottdale,
Circleville, Ruffsdale and Morgantown.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: Miss Hattie Davidson, Belle-vernon,
president; Mrs. Charles Peck,
Washington, vice president; C. H.
Truxal, Bellevernon, secretary and
treasurer; Mrs. W. R. Jones, Morgan-town,
historian. The next reunion will
be held at the home of J. F. Springer,
near Irwin, on the last Wednesday of
August, 1903.
The Mount Pleasant representatives
were Mrs. T. C. Patterson, a daughter,
her husband and daughter, Miss Rosie,
and Mrs. George Patterson.
IF the tenth annual convention of the
Westmoreland^Sunday School Associa-tion,
to | be held at Jeannette August
28th and 29th, is not a success, it will be
no fault of its hard-working president,
Rev. W. H. Tussing, of this place.
