A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

AN EFFORT TO DISPEL THE MYSTERY.
THE YosT MURDER-THE TRAGEDY IN THE
YOUNGSTOWN BANK-PREPARING FOR THE
TRIAL-JMPoRTANT EVIDENCE JUST DIS
COVERED.
The New York Sun of Wednesday says
The deep and absorbing interest which at
tached to the murder of Edward Yost, at
Johnstowr, nearly one year ago, has been
revived in view of tie approaching trial of
his alleged murderer, the preliminaries
of which commence in that village to.
morr ow. AS then, the details
of the crime are again the chief topic OF
conversation, and The speculations indulged
in as to the guilt or innocence OF Charles
Frederick Smith, now under arrest as the
perpetrator of the crime, are many and vari-
Gus. The murdered man, Edward Yost, was
brother-in-law of David Hays. member OF
the banking firm of Hays & Wells, whose
banking house stood on the main street of
the village, while Immediately adjoining
was the meat market kept by Yost, who was
a butcher. Yost was bachelor, man
about thfrty-five years OF age, and at night
slept In the bank, in small room imme-
diately in the rear of the bank, which had
but one way OF ingress or egress, through a
door opening from the banking room.
YosT HAD a LARGE. DOG
who stayed in the bank with him at night.
On the evening of Friday, March 5, 1875,
Yost was last seen alive by his brother,
John ]. Yost, and David Aiken, OF Sara
togs. That evening, in their company, he
had visited theatrical performance, stopped
In several places afterwsTd, finally bringing
up at the Sir William Johnson House. ANer
short time spent in conversation, Edward
Yost, at five minutes to IL O'Clock, took his
leave, his brother and Aiken remaining at
the hotel that night. Abous o'clock the
fnext morning q man passing along the
main street noticed smoke issuing from the
| banking house, and as such sign was un-
usual he made closer examination, and
became convinced that
FIRE WAS IN PROGRESS
IN the interior. The alarm was given and {
large crowd was speedily attracted to the
scene. As the door was found locked AND
everything seemed secure, David Hays
senior member of the bank, was sent fo
and soon arrived on the spot. A window
was then opened to allow the smoke Il
escape, and Mr.. Hays, not having any ke,
to the Yale lock on the door, entered by tn
window and then opened the door. The mr.
was found to be located in the little sleepin
room off the bank, che door of which wa
! drawn to. On Opening 1t an odor OF burnin
, flesh and clothing was emitted so powerful
as to sicken those who were making tn
, investigation. Burning clothing was scat
tered about, and the floor was burne
: through in one or two places. The anxiou

TRADITION OF CONQUEST.

His Grace of Marlborough, legends say
Though DattIe-ligh things proved his worth,
Was scathed like others in his day,
BY fercer fires at his own hearth.
The patient chief thus sadly tried
Madam the Duchess was 50 fair
In Blenheims ho3ors felt less pride
Than in the lady's lovely hair.
Once (shorn, she had coiled 1t there to wound
Her lord when he should pass, tbs said)
Shining across his path he found
The glory of the woman's head.
No sudden word, no sullen look,
In all his after days, confessed
He missed the charm whose absence look
A scars pale shape within his breast
think she longed to have him blame,
And soothe him with imperious tsars-
AS If her beauty were the same,
He praised her through her courteous years.
But when the soldiers arm was dust,
Among the dead mans treasures, where
He laid ii as FROM moth and rust,
They found his Maynard wife's sweet hair

inquiry of the crowd while the search pro-
gressed was "Where's Ed?" who was well
known and general favorite throughout
the village. The inquiry was soon answered,
for on cropping about on the floor MIR. Hays
seized human limb, and drawing it forth
he exclaimed,
''MY GOD, THIS Is EDw
1t was indeed Yost, but so horribly scared
and disfgured by the fire as to be almost
unrecognizable- a singular fact in eonnec-
ton with the discovery of the IRE is, that
Hays on going home.to change his clothing
after distinguishing the fire. on returning
found the key OF the Yale lock In his
pocket. Ft is supposed that 1t was slipped
in there by the perpstrator of the crime or
a confederate, but whoever the one was he
reEasins undiscovered to this day. Coroner
Cameron proceeded to hold an inq9est on
the remains few hours after the discovery,
and one week later eight of the jury rem
dered verdict that Edward Yost came to
his death at the hands of c. Fred. Smith
and others unknown," while the remainder
signed verdict TO the effect that desth was
caused by some person or persons unknown
to the Jury.
CONNECTED WITH THE YosT
MURDER.
JoHNsTowN, Feb. S.-There is greas ex-
here over the finding of the watch
belonging to the late murdered Edward
Yost in a large tank in the gas house this
afternoon, together with the pistol used, no.
doubt, by the murderer. Two chambers of
the pistol were discharged, and the remain
ing balls correspond in size to those found
In Yost's head. How the pisto, got there,
and the reasons for searching the tank, will
no doubt be explained on the trial, which
commences Tomorrow morning. The dia-
niond pin has also been found.

One May day, between ninety and one
hundred years ago, John. tenth earl of
Westmoreland, while dining with Mr..
Child, the banker, said: solve me your
opinion in this case. Suppose you were in
love with girl, and had no hope of getting
her fathers consent to your marrying her,
what would you dor" To which the unsus-
pecting banker replied, ''Do! why, run
away with her, to be sure" A night or two
afterward Lord Westmoreland eloped with
Miss Sarah Anne Child in a post cbaise and
four. The post-chaise took Miss Sarah Anne
on board somewhere near Berkeley Square
House. An alarm was given by the watch
man, who found the hall door open. Mr..
Child at once posted in pursuit, on the
North Road, and managed to gain on the
ruDaways. 1t was not, however, until
Northumberland was reached and entered
that the second post-chsise came within
sight OF the first, and then Lord Westmore-
land, standing up in his carriage, shot one
OF the leading horses of Mr.. Child's vehicle,
which was cspsized in consequence. This
bold proceeding gave the lovers time to
cross the border and get married by the
Gretna Green blacksmith. During the short
interval between this match and the death
of Robert Child, he never forgave Lord and
Lady Westmoreland,

TAKE COMMAND OF BLOCKADE RUNNER
a sea captain who knows the Hesters well
states that when Joseph Hester ran the
blockade in this schooner (of course she was
betrayed and captured), he took with him a
younger brother who has never been heard
ofsince. There are those who do not scruple
to say that he was not accidentally lost.
Hester's blockade running speculati0ns de-
serve a chapter by themselves. We
have only space to say that he swindled a
large number of bis own countrymen by OBJ
tanning orders for goods, medicines, salt, etc,
and taking out cargoes of cotton, which
somehow fell into the hands of the federals
with refreshing regularity. Many were i'm
PEELED to believe that at this time he had re-
lations with both sides. It was at this Pc
riod (1S63 65) that Hester became acquainted
with the villain Thomassen, who was like
wise specializing upon the necessities of q
miserable people. After the war Hes
ter turned up in Raleigh, N. @.
j aud soon became noted for his violent
democracy, and ultra-Southern denuncia-
tions of Yankees, carpet-baggers and mig
gers" But not long after we find the
