Brutal Treatment

GREESsBURG, Pa, January lS.-One of the
most horrible and cruel cases that has been
reported here for long time came to light
to-dsy, A farmer living IN the backwoOds
of this county has had colored man in his
employ some time. He is said to be good
worker and worthy Of the meager wages he
received. He was compelled to sleep in
the barn. He managed to do this for part
of the winter without sustaining any great
injury. The poor fellow asked his employ
er to furnish him With bed in the house,
but the old fellow would not yield, to-day
the poor authorities were called upon and
took him to the County Home. His limbs
were badly frozen and his recovery is very
uncertain. The names Of the parties are
unknown at preseDt.

half north of this city was broken into and
a clock taken. Yesterday morning Sheriff
Pierce went to arrest a man for the crime
near there, when he attempted to escape,
shooting at the sheriff twice while running.
When the sheriff caught up with him
the man turned around and
placed the revolver in his face
and attempted TO shoot it, but it failed to

down and brought him 10 this place and
lodged him in Jail. In an interview with
him the man stated that his name was
James McKelyey, was nineteen years of
age, and that his home was in Youngstown.
He will probably be brought before the
grand jury of the County Court as it is
now in session.

Special DtSpdtcn 70 he hegtStT'
CLARKsBURG, w. Va, January 1s.-The
Boggess murder trial was resumed to-day.
The usual interest shown by the public
was not less than on the first and second
days of the trial. The prosecution closed
this morning, and the defense at once pro-
ceeded to prove Boggess insane, but the
evidence is not calculated to give
the prisoner much chance tor es-
cape on the insanity dodge. Bog
CESS claims he did not kill his wife and
child, but he says he is accused OF the
crime. His strange appearance in court is
evidently assumed for effect. His daughter
is prepossessing young girl OF seventeen
with full round face and quite feshy. She
comes into court every day and listens to
the evidence, which she desires may re-
suit in a sentence for life to her father, who
committed the fearful deed.

GEBHARDT'S GALL,

ST. Louis, January lS.-Fred. Gebhardt

Iotunda Of the Southern Hotel last night

threatening to chastise him, to which Gun.

in this mornings Globe Democrat, which
placed both him and the Lily in the most
ridiculous light. The questions in this in.
teryiew were as follows:
What is your object in following Mrs.
Langtry around the country
''Do you intend to make the grand cir
cult with her? and do you really love Mrs.
Langtry?'
Both Mrs. Lsngtry and Freddie indig-
nantly deny that such an interview ever
occurred, and it seems that Gebhardt, un-
able 10 longer bear the newspaper ridicule
to which he has been subjected, will open
fight upon the first reporter that makes

The STAR ROUTE FARCE.

The Government Has NO Desire 10 COn-
yict Brady and Dorsey.
WASHINGTON, January Is The Post edi-
torially takes the position that the govern
ment has no desire to convict the Star
Route barons. 1t says: THE fact is, these
lnuch yaunted Star Route trials are q COM
bination Of equal parts of farce, fraud and
oppression. There has been but little hope
snd hardly any expectation on the part OF
the prosecution that q clear verdict could
be got for the government in any Of them.
Ii Brady has been guilty of the conspiracy
he is charged with he has also been guilty
" bribery or the acceptance of bribe, and
such an indictment could have been tried
in week. That, however, would have
made short work of this case, and seriously
abridged the term Of Mr.. Bliss employ,
ment. III Mr.. Dorsey, while Senator, had
been interested in the contracts for which
he HaS called to make appropriations he
could have been indicted and tried therefor
separate and apart from Mr.. Brady or any
| of the other defendants. That, too, would
| have been quick work, and would have
| shortened Mr.. Bliss 800 per day employ
ment. 1t was determined instead to at
| tempt the difficult task OF
Establishing Conspiracy,
| and this for over year, the government
| represented by Messrs. Bliss and ker, has
| been pretending to do. In the meantime,
| Mr. Bliss has received for his services, oc-
| Cupying not more than one-fourth or one
/ half of his time, the enormous sum OF
nearly 5000 Outside of this enormous
| haul the expense Of the futile Star Route
| trials has so far been quite Sl5O,OOO more.
Does anybody suppose that Mr.. Bliss will
| shorten the term of the trial by even so
/ much as an hour, when at the setting OF
each days sun he has transferred from the
/ United States Treasury to his own hun
| dred do lar bill? We do not urge that
| Messrs. Dorsey and Brady are not guilty,
nor that any reasonable sum is too much
/ TO expend to bring them 10 a reckoning,
f but il certainly must be apparent TO the
stupidest reader that, so long as the goose
f Of Justice yields so much down, so long
will she continue to be pluCked; so long
will Dorsey and Brady go uncOnyicted and
unaCquitted"
