Murder Trial at Gettysburg.

John Coyle, jr., was put on trial at Gettys-
burg, Pa, last Tuesday, for the murder of
Emily Myers, in May, 1881. Coyle was tried
and convicted at York, but on account tech
nicaities a new trial was awarded, and the
case removed to Adams county.
The prisoner is the stepson of John Coyle,
residing at Coyle's ferry, on the Susquehanna
river, few miles above Wrightsville, is about
30 years of age, and was engaged on his ia
theirs farm as ferryman at the ferry up to the
time of committing the murder. His father
kept tavern at the same place.
His victim, Emily Myers, was an orphan
about is years of age, quite prepossessing in
appearance, and had been engaged as a do
mestc in the Coyle family for about a year.
The prisoner became enamored of her and
made frequent overtures and offers of mar
rage to her. which she rejected. Early on the
morning of May 80, 1881, Emily went to the
stable to milk the cows, where she was follow
ed by young Coyle, who there again asked her
to marry him, which she refused to do, when
he shot her with pistol, the ball entering
at the sternum and penetrating the heart,
killing her instantly. He then attempted in
effectually to take his own life by shooting
himself in the head, inhicting only slight
scalp wound, which caused him but little in
convenience.

IVna. b. Thomas, Esq, Westminster, Nd:
-Dea3. Sir AS the time for the annual
election of Mayor and Common Council for
our little city is coming near at hand, and as
| have been solicited by some Of our citizens
to again allow the use Of my name as can
didate for Mayor, deem it a duty both to
Our citizens and myself to refuse, IN a formal
manner, to again become candidate.
Ny reason for so doing is that my business
is OF such nature that it calls me from home
almost constantly, and consequently could
not perform the duties of Mayor in a satsfac-
tory manner, however trifing they might be;
and now, whilst am about to sever my con-
nection with the corporate affairs of our city,
| am f0rcibly reminded of the issue upon
which Yourself and several other gentlemen,
together with myself were called to the charge
of our corporation matters SIX years SINCE
This issue was the introduction of water into
the CITY. and since that time we have labored
Zealouslv to cOnsummate this end, but. am
sorry to say, our efforts have thus far proved
unsuccessful. The great calamity that has re-
Gently befallen our people should be a warning
not to delay so important matter any longer,
and if there should be another opportunity OF
fered for the introduction of water, either by
private enterprise or public debt, it should be
Viewed as business matter, our people can
not afford to be without the additional pro
lection it affords from destructive fires, and
as a sanitary measure it is almost ndispen-
sable, as our wells are becoming more i'm
pregnated every year with noxious matters
from the surface drainage. Westminster &C.
cupies geographically an enviable position,
being seven hundred or more feet above tide
water, surrounded by a beautiful country OF
great fertility, and having excellent railroad
facilities, is within easy access of the metrop-
oils. Such being the case, there is no reason
why it should not grow and thrive, if our
people could be imbued with a little spirit of
public enterprise. Feeling that | have but
imperfectly performed the public duties in
trusted to my care, and regretting exceedingly
the severance of the pleasant relations that
have existed between the gentlemen compos-
ing the several councils that | have presided
over and myself, and with the hope that West
minister may some day arouse from her Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep and ''live long and pros

nealh of an EstimabIe lady.

Mrs. Mary J. Myer, the wife of Mr.. William
$. Mycr and daughter of Mr.. Daniel j. Foley,
died on Wednesday morning at her father 5
residence, 1870 Park avenue, Baltimore. About
two weeks ago she came to Baltimore from
her home in Westminster on visit, and whilst
here was attacked with pneumonia She was
sick about week. 1t was feared Monday
that the attack would be fatal, an announce
ment that caused deep feeling of sorrow to
all who knew her, and especially to the Cathe-
dral congregation. 1t was only two years ago
that she was married at the Cathedral, and no
young couple ever started out with brighter
prospects of Il long and useful life, or carried
with them stronger wishes from a large con-
course of friends, for their future happiness
and success. Being lady of much more
than ordinary amiabiity, Mrs. Myer was dear
ly beloved by all. After her marriage she
went to Westminster to live, where her hus-
band engaged in business. Her only child
died some time ago. Two well known Balti-
more families have in this bereavement the
sympathy of the whole community. Her flu

Something Remarkable.

On the side of the public road between this
place and Harris Chapel, Tuckahoe Neck,
stands large sized poplar tree, perhaps three
feet in diameter at the ground, and on the
bark some ten feet from the base is the mark
of human hand, which it has borne for about
twenty years past 1t was produced in the
following manner: In 1868, James Wilson,
a bright mulatto, about % years of age, living
in the neighborhood of Bridgetown, in the
second election district, committed a rape
upon the person of a little daughter of Mr.
Edgar Plummer, aged about II years, and
after numbering her concealed the body in the
thick underbrush. He was hunted down,
owned the crime and was lodged in our Jail.
A few nights afterward he was forcibly taken
from the Jail and hung and shot in the rear of
that building by the infatuated populace of the
neighborhood in which the crime was perpe-
trated. After he was dead his body was cut
in pieces and burned on the outskirts of the
town. But one of the hands cut off at the
wrist was taken in charge by some one, and
with good sized nail was spiked to this pop
lar tree. 1t remained there until it decayed,
and now the hand print, full size, may be
seen on the bark of the tree the nail which
held it in position still fast in the tree. 1t is
somewhat remarkable that this hand print
should remain visible after a lapse of twenty
years. We visited the spot last week, and
can vouch for the correctness of the above
statement.-Denton, Nd, Union.

A Fathers Love for his Dead Child.
Hartford Times, AprH I3fh:

Hartford Times, AprH I9h:
East Hartford people have been for months
nursing a secret, Or at least have not given
publicity to an occurrence which seems to be
almost without parallel. Some time before
last Christmas Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Brewer
lost a beloved daughter, who was IL years of
age So attached was the father to his
daughter that he would not permit her re-
mains to be INFERRED and for all these months
the body has remained in their parlor. a
Hartford undertaken goes over to the house
of death daily, and brings his skill to bear i'll
preserving the remains. Perhaps the strangest
remains to be told. Every night, after the
midnight hour has been proclaimed by the
clock, Mr.. Brewer gets up, dresses himself,
and sits up with the corpse the rest OF the
night. He addresses the iHanimate form with
words of endearing affection, and speaks as
tenderly to it as though his girl heard his
words When daylight creeps into the room
the poor man goes out, and once again seeks
his bed and finishes his sleep.
These nightly vigils have been kept up UNI
ceasingly since the death of the girl. The
neighbors have tried i'll vain to induce him to
consent to a burial. His wife has suffered
greatly by her husbands strange conduct, but
nothing that she could say would induce hin
to part with the body. But he has now at
last consented that a vault be built in his door
yard, which by his express orders is to be
made easily accessible, so that he can still
hold nightly communion with the object OF
his affection. 1t appears that when the girl
was on her dying bed she expressed dread
of being put into the ground, and the father
told her that she should not be. When the
vault is built the remains can be removed. and
the dying girls wish respected and the father 5
promise kept. The affection of parents for
their children is never known to its fullest eX-
tent till death separates them, and only those
parents who have laid their children in the
silent grave can fully sympathize with Mr.
Brewer, who clings so tondly to the poor,
fading earthly remains of his daughter.

Mrs. Caroline Ebaugh widow of Joseph
Ebaugh, while on an errand to the attic of
Mr. G. W. Buckingham made misstep,
causing her to fall and fracture one of her
ribs. Dr. NJ. S. Bot was called in and rem
dercd the necessary surgical aid in both cases.
Mrs Cordelia Beaver, living on small
farm near this city, met with a painful acct
dent about noon on Wednesday. Her son
was telling tree, and the mother, who feared
that it would drop upon fence, caught hold
of limb to change the direction of the fall.
The tree fell more rapidly than she anticipa-
ted. and in falling one of the limbs struck her
on the head and inflicted a serious wound,
tearing away the scalp from the skull from
the forehead to the back of the head. Drs.
j. Howell Bllingslea and W. X. Fringer, of
this city. who were summoned, found that in
addition to the wound in the head, Mrs. Bea-
ver's left ankle was dislocated and her left
collar bone broken, and that she had also
sustained internal injuries. Her wounds, al
though dangerous. are not considered to be
necessarily fatal.
