ANOTHER BANK SENSATION.-As Eb-
ensburg of late has had more than the lion s
share of bank sensations, il is not to he won
dered at that our people have become ex-
ceedingly sea Y about such institutions In
regard, however, TO the latest sensation i'll
that line, caused by the disappearance be-
tween two days of the cashier of Collins
Johnston Il Co.'S bank, the uneasiness. pro-
duced we pleased to say was only of a
temporary character, and as that well
founded institution has promptly met all de-
man,ls, il is fair to presume that it stands
upon firm financial basis. To what eX tent
il suffered at the hands of the absconding
cashier we are not prepared to say, the
stockholders are exceedingly reticent on that
subject but that the bank was pinched TO
a considerable extent seems to be conceded
by all who-don't know anything about il,
perhaps. Be that as it may, for the fugitive
cashier there is more of pity than indigna-
ton expressed, the universal regret being
that he has blasted his q xn future prospects
and brought discredit upon an honest and
respected name. In his domestic relations
he seemed to live and no doubt did live hap
PLY and contentedly wish his wife and child,
and that he should thus desert them so nm
expectedly and so discreditably is only
another evidence of the weakness of poor
human nature and the utter folly of seeking
honest and faithful performance of The du
ties incumbent upon all of us, no matter what
our positions or callings in life.

ALLEGED RAPE.-On the I7th of June 1871
a we learn from the Johnstown Tribune of
Tuesday, 1t daughter o: MIR, Michael Shelley, of
Adams township then aged about fourteen
years. was violated in her person, and on tho
18th ii June last she appeared betore Esq. stray
er and made Information against a pcdd!er,
who stopped at her fathers house during the
absence OF both hcr parents, charging him with
tht commission OF tie OUTRAGE: sue uid not
know his name. but the description was ac-
ma ned Philip Daugherty, of b1trobr, the
guilty party, and the arrest of that individual
secured yesterday by Constable Harris.
He was brought up TO this place. and on being
taken before His Hon II Judge Barnes, this
forenoon, was released until the next term of
the District Court, entering bail in the sum
OF $500 Tor his appearance ut that time foanswer
the charge of rape.
Upon the secnud count in the information
that OF fOrnicution and bastardy-he was take
ing ihi, patt ct was continued ultll FRIDAY
next, when thc-compIainant will he present to
give in her testimony Bail in the SUN OF 500
was promptly given for his appearance on that
day.
The sworn information of the young lady
sets forth that on The 18th of June. 1874, ped
dIer called at the house. in tho absence of her
parents. they being in Johnstown at the time,
ana cy brute force he outrdgc1 her person.
She says that their return she did not IN
form them OF what had happened but some
time subsequently,, when the Signs or preEiau-
cy could not be concealed, she made a clean
breast of the whole matter. \ few months
ago she gave birth toa child; aiTd still claiming
that "a rape had been committed, an investiga-
attaching to Mr. Daugherty. and she made the
information charging him with the crime. The
warrant was placed in the ehandS OF Officer Har-
rs, and learning that pedhler answering the
description given hy her waS in LatrObe, he
went down and arrested him.
On the other hand. the accused, who is said
to be in good circumstances and unmarried
claims thar he nev.'r had the least intimacy
with the girl. and feels satisfied that he can
clear himself Of the suspicion which rests upon
him. When the bearing comes off. on Friday
next, the preliminary examination of witnesses
will likely develop what truth there i in the
story told by the Young lady. For the sake of
honor and manhood we hope he may he able
to clear himself of the terrible charge which
has been made against him.

1t was an unintentional oversight our
part last week, but we trust it is not too late
yet to congratulate the people of Indiana
borough on the acquisition of a worthy and
intelligent citizen in the person of Prof. T.
j. Chapman, who removed with his family
to that pretty and prosperous town only a
few days ago, where the Professor occupies
prominent position in the State Normal
School. We wish him and his the best of
luck, and hope they will find that their lines
have indeed been cast in pleasant places.
If there is an election district in the
county in which the candidates and not the
delegates should be voted for at the primary
election on Saturday of next week, that dis
trict is to be found within the limits of our
own borough. With no less than two as
pirants for each of the three most important
offices residing in the West Ward alone, it
strikes us that an attempt TO elect delegates
to suit all these aspirants would only make
confusion worse confounded,' - and that the
only safe way out of the difficulty is to select
two worthy men for delegates and then let
the Democrats say by their ballots who these
delegates shall support in the convention
This is certainly All honest and fair method
D
aud the candidate who is not willing to
stand on his own merits and abide the re-
suit is not deserving of consideration. For
our own part, we cheerfuily accept and
earnestly urge the adoption of tEis plan in
both wards, and especially in the west ward,
of this borough. What say the other cand:-
dates? and what say the Democrats them
selves?
The fact that we have not got out among
! the people as much we should have done
| will possibly count against us in the contest
I for County Treasurer, as too many in these
days seem prone to pledge their support to
the candidate who is either the first to 'but-
/ ton-hole" them or the most persistent in the
matter of interviewing them after they are
''button-holed." And yet we do not believe
/ that any man situated as we could do
much better. Our business is such as to de-
mand our almost constant supervision and
even the illness of few days disarranges it
more than any one but ourself is aware of
and to the employing of some ore to take
our place well that is easier said than done,
J pecuniarily as well as otherwise. These are
points which we ask our Democratic friends
/ TO consider, and if they think that some other
! applicant is more deserving than we are our
I hope is thai they will not arrive at that con-
{ clusion SIMPLY because we did not call upon
! them personally and solicit their support
| We are willing and anxious te te nominated,
! Improbable as such n thing may seem, but
/ are none the less prepared to accept defeat
! honestly administered, especially it it comes
/ witlroui any reflections TO what might
have been the resulJ If hal been more
persistent in iatI7sding ourself upon public
attention

WHO MAY VoTE.-For the benefit of vo-
ters here give the requisites that must

in refusing every vote that does not come

must have resided in this State also at least one

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.-Another terri
BILE fatality occurred on the railroad west of
this place last evening, the recital of the
details of which is enough TO make the blood
run cold. An aged man and his wife
walking down the north track of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, about half a mile east of
Derry, when freight train going in the
same direction whstled, and they stepped
10 the south track to get out of the way.
just at that instant the JOhnSt0wn Accom-
mediation east came along, aud rs the curve
is very short the engineer did not observe
them until too late. The pilot of the engine
struck them, and both were thrown against
the embankment at the side of the road.
from whence they rolled down into the
ditch. The train was Immediately stopped,
but when some of the Mortified passengers
reached the spot they found the old couple
without a breath of life, and lying within
a short distance of each other.
Their aeath must have been instaneous
as it did not require more than minute or
two to back down 10 the spot where the
tragedy occurred. and their hearts had then
ceased to beat. The bodies were at once
placed on the rear car and taken down to
Derry, when a most narrowing scene oc-
CURED. A son of the dead couple, who is
aged about eighteen years, happened to
catch sight of his mother, aud upon finding
that the lamp of her life had gone out for
ever he gave way TO the most bitter lamen-
tation. When he had calmed down some
what he asked for his father, and when the
terrible dual fate was uufolded to him he
slood paralyZed with grief. Even the spec
! tators were melted to tears at the saddiening
sight: and few could remain to witness his
agony. The victims of this awful accident
were named Serrina, aud they had been up
| the road last evening for the purpose of pro-
curing some corn and hops a small sack
containing these articles being in possession
of the husband when he was killed. In the
twinklng of an eye-without one moment
to think of impending death-tlIey We're
snatched from earth, aud together their
souls went forth from the clayey tenement
/ containing them. They leave nine children
} to- mourn their fate, and it may well he
! believed they are incousolable. 1t was in
/ deed terrible. Tribune 7h.

How THEY WERE CAUGHT.-From the
Bedford Inq'tirer we get the following par
ticulars in relation to a little transaction in
counterfeit money. Some parties residing
ut Friends Cove, that county. who were not
over scrupulous as To how they could make
money, addressed a letter to n New York
shower whose name was known to them.
He sent them, as samples, tive-dollar bill
and some fractional currency, which they
passed readily, and finding the stuff so good,
they raised S400 Ia purchase $4,000 worth of
1.-THE rate at which the New Yorker pro-
posed TO sell. The transfer was to take place
at Cumberland, Md, on "A certain day
Several of the Cove boys were ON hand at
the appointed hour, but u mum sort of
individual handed one of them II note iu
which it was stated that the detectives were
on the watch, and n meeting at Centreville,
Bedford county, at midnight, would be nee
essary in order to make the transfer secure.
Two of the Cove boys appeared at Ceutreville
at the ''witching hour" aud meeting 'ftheir
man." proceeded to ar adjacent wood to
finish the dark transaction.
a stump of fallow candle was lighted and
the S400 passed TO the d, tler, who, in turn,
counted over II package of bills and placed
them in cigar box. Just then the light
went ont but the Cove boys were assured
il was all right, and the parties separated
Not being entirely satisfied at the way in
which the leader had acted, the would-be
purchasers of the spurious concluded to
strike a light aud examine the box. 1t had
been stuffed but not with the queer. -
There was not q singh, note in it-aH having
disappeared through a false bottom, before
the box left the hands of the dealer. The
best of the ''selP' was that the samples sent
ont, by means of which the grecnhorns were
"drawn on" were all genuine and the
money counted ut midnight was probably
genuine. The New Yorker was simply a
sharper. AMI the Cove boys have concln-
acd that Showing the queer" is noJ sLch an
easy way to raise the wind after all.

Mr.. Bishop-Judge Otis, will you give

Judge Otis-1 think the bidder may
have it.
Mr.. B.-Another bid. Judge Otis.
Judge Dwell, try it 81 200 more,
Mr.. B.-Gentlemen, 81 ,O5l, 900 is the
last bid made by Judge Otis.
Mr.. Osterberg by this time had COM
menced on his fourth cigar, and consulted
few moments with Judge Trumbull,
when he raised the last bid of Judge Otis
to 81 1852, 900, and again the contest be-
came interesting, ,and Mr.. Oster berg reach
ed 81, l,l500O0,
The bidding stopped at this figure for
few moments, and it appeared to the inter-
ested spectators that the German stock
holders would get the road at that figure.
| Mr. Osterbergs face wore serene ex-
preston, but Judge Otis came to the res
cue with a raise of s. 900, and was follow
ed by the German with another raise, and
this cross-fre was kept up till at ! 80 o.
clock Mr. Osterberg reached $1,000, 900,
Judge Otis raised this $4,000, and again
the struggle was resumed, and the lockers

ders. Finally,
GERMANY REACHED 81 100000.
and this was the last bid, Mr. Bishop did
his utmost to start the bidders, but pur-
suasion was Of no avail Zone, two, three,
and-gone," and Mr.. Bishop knocked the
road down at 10000 to Mr.. II. Oster-
berg,
Mr.. Osterberg then stepped smilingly to
the front and said to Mr. Bishop, Il rep
resent the German bondholders, will you
take the money now sir?" This closed the
very exciting contest and the purchaser,
with Judge Trumbull, followed Mr.. Bish-
op up stairs where Judge Trumbull paid
the master in chancery 100000 by check
on the United States sub-treasury.
The Times reporter interrOgated Mr..
Osterberg as to what disposition the Ger
man bondhOlders who are now the owners
of the Rockford, Rock Island & ST Louis
railroad proposed to make of it, and was
answered that he did not know. He did
not think any of his friends we're ''ambi
tious of being an American railroad presi
dent He did not think they would take
the iron up, and export it to Germany
Switzerland, or Italy, where the stockhold
ers arc" The purchaser added that he
was not prepared to state what course they
would take.
THIS SALE WAS A SURPRISE
to many, especially as only last week tn,
Northern Pacific railroad, which is les
} than 200 hundred miles in length, sold il
New York for 100000 The sale of tn,
Rockford, Rock Island q St. Louis road
which is only about 10 miles in length
at the figure of yesterday, was therefore I
matter of astOnishment to one and all. =
This stock, in 1868, was taken at perioC
when gold was at premium in New Yorl
at So per cent, and at that figure the Ger
man bondholders have unquestionably pai'
good price for the road.
