committed in this State for years. The
name of the unfortunate victim is un-
known, or at least the remains have not
been identified. The body that of female,
was first seen on Friday morning by John
Shriver a resident of Johnstown. lying on
the side Of mountain, OIL the lands of the
Cambria Iron Company. He, it appears
in the evidence had been out fox hunting,
when one OF the dogs he had with him got
upon the track of a man in the snow. The
dog followed it and Mr.. Shrver continuing
in the course pursued by the dog came to
the dead body of woman, evidently about
forty-five years of age. 1t was some dis
tance from the place to the nearest house,
and Mr.. Shriver at once proceed to alarm
the people. During his absence from the
body, some person, yet unknown, covered
it with brushwood and leaves and set them
on fire. When Mr.. Shriver and some
persons to whom he had communicated his
discovery, returned to the spot the fire was
still smouldering. After removing the
body from the fire the party separated and
searched the mountain gorges in the vi
cinity in hopes of discovering the murderer,
but their efforts were not rewarded with
success.
Mr.. J. A. Harold, the coroner of Cam.
bria county, was notified of the finding of
the body, and empanneled jury for the
purpose of holding an inquest. The body
was viewed at the place it was found, after
which it was placed in a coffin aud taken
to Blocks undertaking shop in Johnstown.
Near where the remains were found there
was picked up tult of bloody hair, II pair
of spectacles, two combs, white hand
kerchief, and a full set of artificial teeth.
! These articles are now in the possession of
! the coroner.
Mr.. Martin proprietor of the Merchants $
hotel, in Johnstown, is of opinion that the
body is that of woman who had stopped
at the hotel some weeks ago. She had come
to Johnstown for the purpose of engag-
ing in the millinery business. She remain
ed ut the hotel for a few days and then
took board at n private house. Her name
was Amberline, and she said she was from
Ohio. This woman has not been seen for
several days, although she was in the habit
of calling regularly at the postoffice for
town yesterday, Justice Strayer's police,
we were informed, were endeavoling to
find out where Mrs. Amberline had been
boarding since leaving the hotel.
Some of those who viewed the remains
of the unfortunate victim on Saturday are
of the opinion that she had been outraged
and then strangled to death. The coroner
cut from the victims neck piece of cord
which was sunk into the flesh, which seems
to strengthen the suspicion as to the man
ner in which the woman was killed.
LATER.-From information obtained at the
inquest, it appears that the murdered wo-
man was Mrs. Moore, and her husband, Mi
chael Moore, is now in custody, on the
charge Of committing the murder
tB-The Dubuque Telegraph has the fol-
lowing item:
Death makes strange movements some
times, and while suffering one to luger long
in afTliction, he strikes down another without
warning. This is exemplified by the event
which has taken place in Whitewater town
ship.
On Saturday last Mr.. Cowa came to Du-
buQue and, in view of the evidently ap-
preaching death of beloved daughter, he
and his wife thought best to prepare some
what for the funeral. He accordingly pur-
chased shroud as part of the habiliments
incident to the last sad rites.
On returning home at evening his wife
was taken sick, and after an illness of only
two days, she died on Monday night. The
daughter still living, the shroud was used
for dressing the mother for the grave. She
was buried to-day in the cemetery of the
Sisters at st. Joseph. The daughter is still
living, but with great uncertainty as to her
recovery.
Thus it is not only the people of the city
who are suddenly afflicted, but everywhere,
this winter; throughout the country, more
so than usual, death has stalked abroad,
through legislative halls, in the mansions OF
the rich, and cottages of the poor But
the prevailing diseases are abating, and the
funeral PROFESSIONS are less frequent.
