THE sWINDLED FARMER.
Recovery of the M Oney from the Circus Gan:
"A ShoriH Badly Treated.

Recovery of the money from the Circus Gan:
"A Shorif Badly Treated.
The sequel Of tho performance by which
Farmer Jacob LivergoOd was swindled out
of 81, 900 by sharpcrs connected with Hill.
iard's circus at Meycrsdale, Somerset
county, on Thursday last, was enacted in
Fayette county on Monday. After the
pseudo Judge Wilson, who had stated
that he was from Lancaster county, had
tleeccd Livergood out of the above-given
sum, he separated himself from the circus
to avoid arrest, intending to join 1t again
when it struck Fayette county. Accord
ingly he went to Confluence, gave orders
to the hotel. keeper to send his team over
to UniontOwn and leave it here till he
came for it himself, and he came by way
Of the railroad. Meanwhile ex-Sheritf
Dickey came to Confluence with report
of the swindle, and the large reward Of
fercd for the arrest Of tho sharpors and
the recovery Of the money.
The man was suspected to be tho swim
dler, and the hotel proprietor Fraser con-
clujed to drive the team over himself and
sec if he couldn't rake in the reward. He
therefore drove across the mountain and
reached Uniontown yesterday evening.
He left the team at the Clinton house
with orders to have it locked up, and to-
gcther with Dickey and his assistant,
who had also come over, awaited the ap-
pearance of the atfable "judge." Mon
day morning on the early train the
"judge" arrived, expecting to get his
team and join the circus at Smithfield,
ten miles south Of Uniontowp, where it
exhibited, but when tho overland party
reached there the preceding evening they
consulted an attorney and the sheriff and
soon had everything in readiness to ar
rest the "judge" on his arrival. When
arrested he at once confessed and offered
to escort his captOrs to Smitht1eld, where
ho would point out to them his confeder-
ates, and secure the recovery Of the So, 900.
provided they would then releas him. The
for Smithfeld, ali under the escort of
noon, they made known their business,
proceeded to refund the money. He was
compelled to pay over the SO, 600 taken
from Livergood and S400 additional to pay
the expenses of the party in recovering
it. This the manager did with scarcely
= protest, showing that he was in
league with the Judge" who was now
no longer "Judge'' Wilson, but 'Judge"
Walker. The swindlers wcrc then allow
ed to depart, the officers fearing they had
not evidence enough to hold thom for
trial. OF the $4OO extra which they got,
about $500 was given to the Uniontown
lawyers and others who assisted in
recovering the money. but the one to
whom more than to all others, was duo
the credit of working tho thing so fine at
Smithfield, Sheriff Hoover, did not get a
cent. The Somerset county crowd offered
him the pittance of ten dollars for his
days trouble, time and expense. He even
had to pay for his own dinner. There is
strong talk that the Somerset county Off
cials will be prosecuted for compromising
the case. The receipts given them by the
swiudlers at Smithfield are held.

as the executive officer of the state, which
his Republican councillors had en5eavored

Beaver Us an Executive officer.

The official figures, showing the re.
sources and expenditures of the Agricul-
tural college of Pennsylvania, published
in another column of to-day's INTELLI-
GENCER, are we'll calculated to exhibit
not only the general worthlessness of
that institution as means of imparting
useful agricultural knowledge to the
youth of the commonwealth, but more
especially the utter want of executive
ability on the part of Gen. Beaver who,
for the past ten years, has had con-
trolling power in Its management. After
having received a valuable tract of land
as free gift after having it improved
with buildings and equipments at a cost
of $4,000 after having an endowment
fund of $4,000, 900, the interest of which,
$4,000 per annum, the state pays regu-
larly, the college under Gen. Beav-
er's management has graduated only
four or five students annually, though
the college catalogues shown the average
number of students per year to have
been II. There is not perhaps in the
United States another institution of
learning possessing such vast resources
that produces such meagre results. For
years the college has been a standing re-
proach to the state. 1t has furnished
fat berths for Gen. Beaver and few of
his satellites, by whom its revenues have
been uselessly, if not corruptly, squan-
dered. And now, Gen. Beaver having
proved his utter incapacity for manag-
ing the college, it is proposed
by the Cameron bosses to make
him governor and to place in his
keeping the vast resources of this
great commonwealth. For we'll they
know that if Gen. Beaver could not see
or would not stop the comparatively
small abuses at the college, he will not
see and cannot stop, should he become
governor, the great abuses that have SO
long marked Republican rule ut Harris
burg, and made our commonwealth a
by-word and reproach among the states.
Let every honest voter read the statis-
tics of the college management, and con-
trast Gen. Beavers executive ability, as
shown by them, with the executive
ability of Robert Z. Pattison, the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, as shown
by his management OF the financial af-
fairs of Philadelphia.

an assault and battery on Jacob c. Adams
had q hearing before Alderman McConomy
last evening. Mr.. Adams, owing to the
injuries he had received at the hands of
his assailants, could not attend tho hearing,

to show that Mr.. McComsey had assaulted
Adams, and he was discharged. Charles
and Eichler were held in $500 bail each to

Try Something Else.

Scranton Republican.
Those who endeavor to make capital
against Pattison, tho Democratic candi-
date for governor, because he happened to
be born in Maryland, should try some-
thing else. The Republican party has no
sympathy with such small.souled exhibi-
tions of bigoted balderdash. Pattison's
birthplace has nothing to do with it.

and character songs. The ventrilOqual
and sleisht Of hand = tricks Of Mr..
Bingham were extSSmely clever,
while Mile. Zoe MeIekS's performing
canary birds were :. real uOvelty. The

not alone the little people in tho house but
the children of larger growth as well. 1t

will only be the continuance of this same
policy of rule or ruin by the leaders of
the New York state Democracy that will
bring us to grief there.
And it will he equal lack of wisdom and
prevalence of unworthy influence that
will keep the New York convention
from adopting platform and selecting
candidates who will command the SUP
port of the Anti Monopoly party. This
support belongs Of right to the Democ.
racy, for the doctrine is Democratic doc.
