The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1882-11-03


the happy Young couple In hoping that their
brightest anticipatiOus NAV be fully and for
ever realized, and knowing as we DO that our
worthy young friend Dave will vote the
whole Democratic ticket, we advise every
BODY else who has vote to go and do ike
wise politically, and il he hasn't wife the
example furnished is well worthy OF imita-
ton.
VIM. Earl, Sr., justice of the peace of
Indiana borough, and father of Mr.. o. G.
Earl, OF Homer City, the gentleman to whom
seven children were born in loss than three
and a half years, as recently noticed in these
columns, and who for several weeks of late
bad charge of Mr.. Huntley's tin shop, in this
pTace, fell dead in an alley not far from his
residence on Saturday, Oct. 21st. The old
gentleman took sick at the railroad station,
whittier he had gone with the intention of
visiting his SOD, two OF whose youngest trip
lets were seriously i'll, one of them dying on
the following day, and was on his way home
when death so suddenly and unexpectedly
overlook him.
The business men of Johnstown, or a
. GoOdly number of them, are to be treated 70
free excursion to and from Baltimore over
the Somerset & Cambria and B. & o. Rail
roads, on Monday. Nov. goth, and should an
invitation to join them reach this office In
good time we might be induced. for the sake
or the b. IN. aforesaid, to accompany the
party. John Cox, Esq, the Democratic can
didate for Coroner, is member of the com
mittee appointed to make the preliminary
Arrangements Tor t9e PROPOSED eNcuTSioUs
and when he goes on the excursion we hope
he will bear with hIm the consciousness that
every man on the Democratic ticket has
been triumphantly elected.
The man VINO scratches the name OF ID.
a. Luther the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff, from the ticket not only does dis
credit to himself, but injustice to man
whose personal and political character Is un-
impeachable and whose fitness for the otf1ce
is unQuestiOned by either friend or Zoe.
More than this, he aids to continue in power
a paTte that has no right to ask or expect
supremacy in Cambria county and could
never have attained it were it not for the
votes of men, claiming to be Democrats,
whom the Republican bosses, as 1t is but
natural they should, entertain much less re-
specJ for than tkey do for those who honestly
and earnestly work and vote against them.
The JOhnstown Tribune saws that Mrs.
James j. Murphy, of that place. attended the
bi-centennal, at Philadelphia, last week, and
took her little daughter Lily along. While
in the city they made their headquarters at
the home OF a friend, and one day the little
girl, who is between ard 3 years of age,
wandered away from the house and was lost.
She was missed soon after her departure, and
an active search was at once begun, but the
hours went bv and still the little wandeIer
was not found. Several police stations were
visited, ib the expectation that she might
have been picked up by IN officer, ana in one
Of them the child was finally found just be-
fore dark. The mother was by this time
her Joy when the child was restored to her
may be imagined.
"A young girl named Katie McVey, en-
ployed as a servant at the Callan House,
CreSsOn, was arrested and taken to Lillv's on
Friday last to answer the charge Of THEFT
preferred against Ger by a Jew pedler whose
name we did not learn. 1t appears that her
Rccuser took dinner OF supper at che Callan
House the day previous, and after partaking
of the meal pulled out his wallet and began
counting his money, and his allegation is that
while so engaged the servant girl, whom it is
said he summoned from the kitchen without
any apparent need for her services, frOZe fast
to ten dollar gold piece belonging to her
accuser. Hence her arrest and arraignment
before Justice at Lilly's, but whether she
was held for trial or DISCHARGED we failed to
learn. Neither have we seen any one who
believes that she committed the offense
charged against her.
We don't know any reason why every
Democrat in the county should not be
friend OF the Democratic press Of the county,
and yet there have been at former elections,
and possibly will be at the coming one, men
claiming to be Democrats who have done
and may do what they can to cripple their
party papers by voting for certain Republ-
can candidates for county Offices or refusing
to vote for their Democratic competitors
For instance, the Democrat who on Tuesday
next votes for Harry Kinkead, or who de-
cliues to vote for ID. A. Luther, does all that
IN him lies to deprive the FREEMAN and
other Democratic papers in this county Of
the advertising, job work, etc, Of the Sher-
IFS office, which justly and honestly belong
to them. Think of this, Democrats. and
don't do injury to innocent parties for the
sake Of boosting men into office who certain
~ don't love you the more for the assistance
you render them in such an emergency.
Adam Leiden, a well-known citizen OF
st. Lawrence, Chest township was discover
ed in the steam saw-mill Of Messrs. Perry &
Son, at Chest Springs, on last Wednesday
morning, with every arrangement made for
ending his earthly career bY hanging himself
to one of the joists or some other convent
ent projection. II Is said that Adam has
contemplated suicide for some time past and
the dav previous to the occurrence OF the
little episode above narrated he wrote note
to his wife informing her of his intention to
pass in his chips " without further deIay
1t may be that he is only shammino, but If
he has any friends who consider his life
worth preserving, perhaps it would be as we'll
for them to keep an eye on his movements
Z. S.--We learn this Thursday forenoon
that Leiden made another and this time sue
cesstul attempt at.self- destruction by hang
tug himself last night but whether the deed
was committed in MessTs. Perry's saw mill
or not we are unable to state
Among the victims of the light fingered
fraternity during the bi-centennial celebra-
tion in Philadelphia last week, and whose
misfortune, sofar as we have noticed has not
heretofore appeared in print, was our mer-
chant friend John O'NelI, of Altoona. who
had his pocket relieved of a gold watch and
chain valued at $500. 1t seems that Mr. o.
Neill first discovered his loss after aliebtinp
from a crowded street car in which he had
been forced to stand while going from one
part Of the city to another, and was in the
act Of buttOning up his coat to save his val
uables from being scooped in by some one of
the numerous pick pockets then and there
plying their nefarious vocation, when he
found to his cost and chagrin that he had
been already victimized, as above stated
Our friend joan, we have reason to believe,
will vote the Democratic ticket all the same
and neither he nor any other Democrat
should need watch to tell them when il is
time to perform that duty. p. S.-Since the
above was in type the Altoona papers made
a note of the robbery, putting Mr.. O'NeiIPs
loss at $500, which may possibly be correct.
A RAILROAD HORROR NEAR LILLY's.-
Mr.. George Sechler, a brakeman on a freight
train on the Penna. Railroad, met with
sudden and terrible death about a mile east
Of Liliy's station, on Wednesday last be-
tween one and two O'Clock in the afternoon
IL seems that he attempted to walk over the
top of his train, and by some misadveuture
fell between two of the cars, and was liter
ally cut TO pieces by the wheels passing over
him. The unfortunate young man was a
brother OF District Attorney, William II.
Seeker Esq, and had been in the employ Of
the Railroad about two years. as we do not
know it we cannot state his age, but he was
comparatively young man. He resided in
Altoona and leaves a widow and one child to
mourn his shocking and untimey fate He
had most excellent reputatiOn-was tenn
perate and industrious and highly respected
and esteemed by all who knew him.
