Letter from Elkins.
r. THAYER, P. M.

The excitement occasioned by the
murder near this place has about SUBJ
sided, and many are the pungent
shots fired at intervals at few of the
brave men who volunteered to arrest
the murderer on the night the deed
was committed. Your correspondent
has been accused of not having suffi-
Gent nerve, as he failed to respond to
the call for volunteers but from what
he could learn, stumps of trees were
in abundance about and around the
Negroes shanty and many of the
braves whose nerves were more than
ordinarily developed when leaving
here. diminished entirely by the time
they arrived on the battle ground,
and instead of employing their won
derful nerve at the proper time and
place they figured conspicuously be-
hlad the. above mentioned stumps.
Among the latter was one very
prominent recruit from w. Va.
A certain suspicious looking char.
acter in the shape of a man, has been
creating quite a sensation in and
about this place for the past few days
he acts in a very strange manner, and
it matters not to whom he talks he is
not at all prudent in his speech, but
the topic of his conversation seems to
be money, money, and whether there
are any men of money about here.
BY his curious actions he frightened

that they moved from their former
residence about one mile from here,

costed cross tie maker in the woods
in such an unnatural manner that he
became alarmed for his safety and
left his work for that day; many are
the rumors and imaginations rife con.
corning the man, Some think he is
a detective. while others think that
he came to organize gang to lioerate
John Smith. Again, there are Others
who actually believe that he will
commit robbery or murder, or some
thing terrible before he leaves the

The Sunday School Convention.

The Sunday School Convention OF
Garrettcounty, as already announced,
will be held at Deer Park, commence
ing Friday, June 18th, at q p. NJ,
and closing Sunday evening June
Nth. The convention will be COM
posed of Pastors and Superintendent
of all the Sunday Schools in the coun-
ty, and one delegate elected from
each school. Proper blanks for re-
ports will be sent to the Superintend-
ents which they will please fill up
and send Immediately to DR.. j. w.
Laughlin, Chairman ofthe Executive
Committee, Deer Park, Md. The
Schools proposing to send delegates
should elect them at once, as the time
is short.
Our good friends at Deer Park are
making arrangements to entertain
delegates, and will do all they can.
We must remember that the town is
small, and but few families live very
near, therefore persons who attend
should take as few horses as possible,
and not crowd in persons who are
not delegates to be entertained. Those
who live within a few miles can at
tend and return home. Our Oakland
friends can easily attend the day ses-
sions and return by the evening train.
Programme will be ready very
soon, and published, we trust, in
time.

The Harden Murder Case.

The requisition for John Smith, the
murderer of Josiah Harden was re-
ceived by Col. Veitch Sunday even
ing, but Sheriff JamisOn did not start
after Smith until Thursday evening,
because, as there is but one compart-
ment in our Jail, it was thought to be
unwise to allow the murderer and
State witnesses to have free and UNI
reserved communication, as must
necessarily be the case if they are all
confined in our one-rOOm Jail. In
order to obviate this state of things
States Attorney Veitch made ar
engagements with the sheriff of Allie
gany county to take the three most inn
portant State witnesses, namely, Mrs.
Harden, Robert Harden and Mitchell
Russell. This arrangement will not
cost the county any more than ifthey
were kept here. The Sheriff of Allie
gany county is allowed but forty
cents a day for boarding prisoners,
while our sheriff is allowed fifty cents
a day. Thus our county will save
ten cents a day on each prisoner.
which will more than pay their trans
portation to and from Cumberland.
Sheriff JamisCn as before stated,
accompanied by Mr.. Alex. Mason,
started Thursday after the murderer.
AS it will be necessary to 60 to Rich
mond they will not likely return be-
fore Sunday or Monday. They took
the above mentioned State witnesses
with them and turned them over ID

A friend has just given the particu-
lars of sad accident near Altamont
last Sunday. Mrs. Ellen Beckman,
wife of well-to-do farmer living
near Altamont, was drawing water
from well near the house, when the
windlass gave way, throwing her in
to the we'll, distance of about thirty
feet, and striking her on the head
inflicting very serious and painful,
though not necessarily fatal injuries.
No one being about to assist her, she
climbed to the top, ny great effort,
being very weak from loss of blood.
1t is not definitely known how she
came to fall, but as she has been sub
ject to attacks of dizziness, ii is sup
posed that in STOPPING over to pour
out the water, she became giddy, and
caught hold Of the win dlass, which
gave way, thus causing the accident.

next month, and all expect it to prove
very pleasant occasion.
