In 1875 Thomas J. Brady was special

"In regard to the charges against one
John Walsh, a distiller, have tho honor
to state that have succeeded in obtain
ing very strong evidence, which shows that
he has for years been swindling the gov
ernment, through and by the cOnnivancc
of the internal revenue collector and his
gaugcrs for this district. The means resort
ed to by Walsh to defraud the revenue
clearly demonstrates that the whisky
thief is not confined to our Western county

Walsh's distillery, and would have AZ

Steps will now be taken to secure his re.
turn to Louisiana, where h3 will be prose-
cuted to the full extent of tho law. It is
reported here that he has gone to Wash
ingtOn, d. c., and would be glad if the
services of the chief of tho secret division
of the treasury department could be Sc
cured in the effort to remand him to the
jurisdiction of the Federal Louisiana courts
for punishment. !"
No sooner had Brady been made second
assistant postmaster general than he gave
to this Same Walsh Il mail contract for
SIS, 600, which he very soon expedited :"
up to $137,OOO. The man who was 4
"whisky thief" in 1875. was found quito
honest enough to carry the United States
mails in 1878, even at the excessively "ex-
pcdited rates above. It is only Just to
say that Walsh says he was call broken
up by that mail contract, and lost in the
neighborhood of $35, 900 by it,

Rev. Samuel r. Fisher, D. D., of Phila-

evening after brief illness. His funeral
will take place at Chambersburg on. Tues

deceased was born On the second day
of June, 1910, in Norristown, Pa. In
early life he seemed ambitious to secure 4
good education, with the view Of entering
the Christian ministry. In 1924 he be-
came a member of the family of Rev.
George Wack. in Montgomery county,
and continued under his instruction for
three years, In 1929 he entered the pre-
paratory department of Jefferson college,

credit. He was a genial man, perfectly
transparent in character, and he will be

The fate that overlook poor Daniel

Last Thursday was the blOOdiest day
known in the history of Scott county. At
OsbOrne's Ford four young men differed
with James Baker about some spasturage
amounting to only one dollar and y half.
They rushed upon Baker who ran between
two houses and then escaped to the road
down which the four followed him the
distance of hundred yards when, finding
they were about to Overtake him he wheel
ed upon them, drew his pistol, and killed
the entire quartet as they came. First came
Alex Osborne, a wild reckless sort Of fcl-
low, in the lead. He was shot through the
heart and fell dead. Next came the
two Rider brothers. One was shot
through the heart and fell dead. The
next one was shot through the chest and
died few hours afterward. The name of
the fourth young man is not furnished us,
but he fell mortally wounded. and ut last

THE present week is tho last of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, and it will
adjourn without passing an appor-
tionment bill for legislative and con-
gressional districts. The latter
ter would in any event have to wait on
the apportionment by Congress, which
will not he made until next winter. 1t
will not, however, necessitate an
extra session of the Legislature,
as the Pennsylvania delegation
will not be decreased, and if an
other member is added he can be elect
e1 at large; three were SO chosen in
1872. The present legislative apportion-
ment is not a fair one, of course, but we
can much better afford to live under it
than the proposed infamous Billingsley's
bill.

Peun'S Remains,

The project of removing the bones OF
William Penn to Philadelphia and the
contention whether his sole descendant in
that city or stranger delegated by the
Legislature should accompany the relics
across the Atlantic have been ended by a
letter written to one of the London jOurn-
ais by Mr.. Il. Littleboy, in behalf Of his
fellow. trustees of the Friends burial
ground at Jordan, in Buckinghamshire,
wherein the illnstriOIs founder of Penn
sylvania lies buried. The trustees say
that in no circumstances will they enter
tain an application to disinter or TO re-
move the bones of William Penn, and by
English law their permission is essential to
the transaction.
The Philadelphia Press recalls move
ment to move Pcnn's remains some years
ago which failed and says: The prime
mover five years ago was the late Surgeon
General FOltz, United States navy. He rs
a Philadelphian and a patriot, hc was
deeply interested in the success of the Cen
tennial exposition. It occurred to him
that 4 very attractive feature might he
added by the removal of PENIS remains
to final resting place somewhere in Fair
mount park. lie mentioned this idea
to the railway president alluded
to and found a sympathetic lis
tencr, his ancestor having arrived in
this country OH tile Welcome with Penn.
DR.. FOltz suggested that Colonel J. w.
Forney, who was then in England, would
be eligible to conduct the negotiations.
Tho railway president engaged to defray
all expenses up to 81, 900. Colonel FOrney
was communicated with, and undertook
the mission, but few weeks aftcrward
wrote that permission to remove the body
had been refused. The gentleman whose
money was involved IS unable to rccOllect
whether tho refusal at that time came
from the representatives of Penn or from
the cemetery officials.
