Gustsvus Pipher and Thomas Miller,
employed at the coal mine near Remove,
got into . difficulty Saturday evening,
during drunken spree, when Pipher shot
Miller, killing him almost instantly. ne
then succeeded in getting on freight
train which was leaving Remove, eastward
bound. As he could not be found it was
thought that he had smuggled himself
aboard the train. The Superintendent
telegraphed the conductor, giving
him description of the murderer and
asking him to search his train.
He did 80, whom Pipher was discovered
concealed In q car. He was invited to 60
into tho caboose, as it was too cold to ride
where he was. Not suspecting that he
was being sought, he gladly accepted the
invitation. when tho chief of police at
Williamsport was tclegraphed to have an
officer on hand to arrest him when the
train arrived. This took took place this
morning. Pipher was very much sur
orised and claimed that he did not know
how the shooting occurred. On being in
formed that Miller was only seriously hurt
he manifested much emotion. He was
lodged in jail to await the arrival OF an
officer from Remove tomorrow morning,
when, after a hearing, he will be commit
ted to tho Clinton county Jail. Pipher.
who is about twenty five years of age. is
a Prussian by birth and has been in this
country about fifteen months. He has

1t has just leaked out that General
BENJAMIN F. Butler came near being
drowned last Friday evening. He came
up the river on the steamer G. L. Mather,
and just at tho upper edge of the rapids,
four miles below Lawrence, Mass, the
steamer ran upon a rock and stuck there.
1t was indispensable that he should be at
Lawrence at an carly hour, and small
boat carried by the steamer was brought
alongside and General Butler, Mayor
Green, Mr.. Caleb Saunders and Captain
IIomans took places in it. The water was
running swiftly, and as soon as the boat
was loaded the current began to suck it
under tho counter of the steamer. In en-
deavoring to push it clear the boat was
partially swamped, and each effort to
right matters only made them worse. The
current was 30 swift that only an ex-
iraocdinarily strong swimmer could es-
cape being drawn into the rapids and
whirled down the river a mile or two
before still water could be reached. Fortu.
uiately tho deck hands, after much effort,
succeeded in hauling each man on board,
tao general escaping with thorough wet
ting.
