Murderer Executed.

MIDDLEBURG, Pa, March 7.-Uriah
Meyer was hanged here In the iail-yard at
eight minutes past ii O'Clock this morning
for the murder OF Gretchen KintZler on
December s, 1877.
John Kintzler and Gretchen, his wife.
were an aged couple, residing in an unfre-
quented place about ten miles from Mid
dlehurg. 1t was generally understood
among the neighbors that KintZler was in
possession OF q considerable amount of
money, the hoardings Of years. After kill
ing the old couple the murderers set fire
TO the dwelling, and consumed it and the
bodies OF their victims. Owing TO GER
tain declarations made by some neigh
bors OF the Kintzlers, suspicion at
once attached TO Mover, his brother
Jonathan, Emanuel Ettinger, Israel Erb.
and several others, and they were all ar
rested. Ettinger was convicted Of murder
in the first degree, and Erb and Jonathan
Mover were also convicted. The case OF
Erb has been held under advisement by the
Board Of Pardons up to the present time
Meyer died in Jail in October, 1881, and
Jonathan Meyer was executed March
"a, 1882. According TO the confession Of
the accused, the murder was commit
ted by Uriah Meyer and Ettinger on Fri
dav evening, December 7th, and neither
Jonathan Meyer nor Erb was present, ant
the burning was done on the evening o.
the Sth by the two Meyers and Ettinger
All the prisoners united in the assertion
that Erb was not present on either occa
sion. There is a general impression here
that Jonathan Meyer died innocent. The
two Meyers are the only persons evel
hanged in this county.
Mover passed very quiet night, sleep
| ing WELL When he was led out OF his eel
to the scalTold he stepped up firmly and eX
hibited great nerve. The prisoner gazed
ealmly on the crowd OF two hundred anC
fifty people, and stated that the murdel
was committed on Friday evening by
him and Emanuel Ettinger; that he ant
his brother Jonathan and Ettinger robbed
and burned the body and the premises or
Saturday evening. A prayer was then Of
fered by Rev. l.. o. Edmunds, 10 which
the condemned man made responses. Aftei
this the sheriff pinioned his arms ant
ankles and the rope was adjusted, the white
cap was placed over bis head, and the droI
fell. He died without struggle in abou
seven minutes.

FAMOUS EXPLORERS NAME CARVED on TIL
ROCK IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.

ROCk IN YELLOW SIONE PAkh.
A San Francisco exchange says: On the
south bank of the Yellowstone river, be-
tween Miles City and Billings, stands de-
tached body of yellow sandstone, which
rises abruptly on three sides to the height
of about 400 feet. Its base occupies about
one acre OF ground. The fourth side is ir-
regular and broken, and affords a way by
which ascent may be made. The rock Is
known as Pompey's Pillar, having been so
called by the explorer, William Clarke.
The most noticeable thing about it is the
explorers name, carved deeply on the face
of the rock, about half way up on the north
side. At this place. which may be easily
reached by clamDering up over the heavy
blocks OF sandstone. broken down from the
body OF the cliff the face Of the rock is pro-
tected by some overhanging portions from
the sun and storm, and the inscription
civilian Clarke, July %, 1906, ;" is traceable
throughout. 1t is in old-fashioned script
and is undoubtedly genuine. a modern
vandal, who evidently had never heard OF
the explorer, has registered his own worth
less name i'm uncouth characters over a
part OF the original inscription. But Gen.
eral Anderson, chief engineer OF the
Northern Pacific railroad, has given orders
to have the pumpkins name removed and
frame covered with glass placed over the
name Of William Clarke to preserve 1t. 1t
was on his return from the mouth OF the
Columbia river that Clarke passed this place.
The exploring party had divided short
time before, Clarke having taken this route
while Lewis pursued another. Lewis upon
his return to the East was made Governor
of Louisiana Territory, and died by his own
hand near Nashville in October. 1909.
Clarke was made Governor OF Missouri Ter
ritory and lived till September, 1888.

Fatal Fire I'm New York.

New YORK, March IA fire broke out
this morning in the Cambridge flats, large
building i'm east Sixty-fourth street. Mrs.
Wakeman, aged ffty-siX. and her daugh-
ter Rose, who occupied the fourth floor,
were sufiocated by the dense smoke. The
building was damaged TO the extent OF &c.,
600; furniture, $4,000.
Mrs. Wakeman was the wife OF Abram
Wakeman, who was surveyor OF the port
during Lincoln's administration. She was
an invalid, one side Of her body being
paralyzed. Her daughter was also suffer-
ing from illness. Both mother and daugh-
ter were found on the stairway OF the third
floor, to which they had descended, and
where they had evidently been overcome
by smoke.
Many more lives would have been lost
had it not been for fire-esrape in rear OF
the building. The fire broke ont in the
basement, and was probably caused by the
heater. When the firemen reached the
scene the flames were bursting from tie
windows on the upper floors and from the
basement. The firemen's efforts to enter
the building from below were hindered by
the flames, and they got on the roof and
entered by the scuttle. There they rescued
stout colored woman, who was bewi
dered and partly overcome by smoke. II
is believed that no lives were lost but those
Of Mrs. Wakeman and daughter.
