day. Soon after the death OF Miss Horan
her sister Nellie was taken seriously III,
and the report was circulated that she
had confessed to having poisoned her
sister and other members OF the fam.
lily, and then attempted ~ destroy herself.
These, however, were proven 10 be with.
out foundation, in fact she was prostrated
by her sisters sudden death, and Is
yet unable TO leave her home. At the In
quest yesterday afternoon the chemist testl.
fed that he had found by an analysis that
the stomach OF tile dead girl contained
forty-slx one-hundredths OF q grain Of
strychnine, which was enough to produce
death. The testimony Of the intimate
friends OF Anna failed to give any indica-
tion that she intended to take her life by
poison, or otherwise. The Jury adjourned
TO the home Of Nellie Horan and took her
evidence while SHE was bolstered up on q
couch. She admitted that Oh Tuesday pre-
vious to her sisters death she purchased
strychnine at ths drug store for the
purpose Of killing mice The druggist
advised her to use rat poison instead
but she insisted on strychnine. This she
placed In drawer where II remained until
Thursday Of the present week, when she
delivered the package 10 the Sheriff as she
had received 1t from the druggist. The
purchase Of the poison was testified to by
the druggist, and other witnesses were ex-
amlned by the jury without adduclng eyi
dcnce Of important bearing to tho case. Al
nine o'clock the jury retired for delibera
tion, which resulted In verdict that Anne
Horan came to her death by being poisoned
by strychnine, and that the jnry considered
the evidence sufficiently strong TO warrant
holding Nellie Horan for examination OF
the charge OF administering the poison.

The Snow Storm.

The past week was certainly one OF
severe weather." as people generally
express it. At the time we then went
to press Tuesday week. we stated the
snow was a foot deep. But in few
hours after it was found to have fallen
to the depth of near two feet. The re-
suit was an almost total blockading of
all manner of travel and business.
Trains and mails upon the railroads
were delayed. Persons caught in this
place by the storm, were held here, and
those waiting to come could not reach
here For more than quarter OF
century no such snow storm had been
recollected by the oldest citizens. The
snow vet lays upon the ground-near-
ly as deep as ever--and creates rather
serious apprehension as to its manner
of going of. If it should do so sudden
ly there may be tremendous floods all
around No particular harm has been
done by the storm in this neighbor
hood, but it was rather amusing to see
people shovel and dig their way by
roads through the snow. The result
is huge banks yet standing along our
streets with all waiting for some sun
shine to melt them away.

A Card.

EDS. CITIZEN A very pleasant al
fair occurred at the Lutheran parson-
age at North Washington on the Sd Of
January, to which we would refer as
an expression of our gratitude to the
kind people of our congregation of here
and others of our friends, who on that
day came in numbers without the least
intimation to us and took possession of
our house, bringing with them every
thing needful in the way of provisions,
grain, &c, so that our larder, and the
boxes and barrels in the stable were all
filed; and also the sum Of FIVE dollars
in money, the gift Of cherished friend.
The whole company, proposing to give
US a good social call, provided a most
bountiful dinner, to which all sat down
and partook literally; after which we
had good time generally.
1t was delightful occasion and will
be ever gratefully remembered.
Some time before, our Springdale
congregation presented us, by tho
hands Of Mr.. s. p Painter, with an
excellent fresh milch COW, gift we all
du most highly appreciate; and our
Rider congregation, through the kind
ly solicitation of Miss Kate Bysrs, pre-
sented us with liberal SUN of money,
which aided US very materially in the
purchase ola horse.
Truly our people are very good to
us and we hope we fully appreciate
their generosity, while, upon them all,
we invoke the divine blessing.

Time of State Convention.

There seems to be some confusion of
opinion as to the time of the Republi-
can State Convention for this year
may be held. This, 1t is claimed,
arises from misprint of the rule adopt
ed by the National Committee at its
late meeting on the subject. By that
rule as published no State Convention
can be held more than sixty days from
the National one, thus making it posi-
BILE that it might be held much nearer.
But it ia now discovered that the words
"not less than thirty" were omitted by
the misprint Of the National rule. If
this be so it makes material. difference,
and settles the question that our COM
ing State Convention cannot be less
than thirty days from the coming
National one Of June g. instead Of not
more than thirty days from it. In
what has appeared in the CITIZEN late
ly on the subject we have been guided
by the Philadelphia Press. In an ar
ticle upon the New Party Rules" the
Press stated this matter as follows:
"Henceforth all delegates to Repub-
lican State Conventions must be chosen
in the manner in which candidates for
the Assembly ere nominated, except in
Senatorial districts composed of more
than one county, in which conferees for
the selection of Senatorial delegates
shall be chosen. The second Wednes-
day of July is fixed as the time for
State Conventions to be held, except in
a Presidential year, when it may be
called earlier, but it must not be more
than thirty days previous to the day
fixed for the National Convention, and
sixty days notice must be given by the
State Committee
Now if the Press be correct In the
above, then the State Convention can
not be more than thirty days from
the National one and therefore can be
anytime within thirty days of same.
But if it cannot be held less than thir.
ty days from the National one, then
there is no getting nearer the National
one than thirty days. The difference
in the two words is serious matter to
the Republicans in the Western corn-
tics. We notice the papers of some of
the adjoining counties are also referring
10 the matter and if in any manner the
State Convention can be held about
the middle of May, at which time all
county Primaries for the nomination of
of county tickets could also be held
this year, it would not only be conven-
ience but secure full vote at the elec-
tion made necessary for sending dele
yates to tho State Convention

THE MUTT TRIAL,
The Prisoner at the Pittsburgh
Jail.

From Pittsburgh papers of Jan. IA.
The interest in the Mutt murder
trial increases hourly as the time for
the opening the case this morning
grows near. Saturday morning James
Mutt was brought from the Uniontown
jail by Sheriff Sterling and placed in
the jail in this city. To balk the curl
osity seekers, when the train reached
Connellsville the prisoner was removed
to the mail department of the baggage
car. Crowds gathered at various
stations to view the prisoner, but were
disappointed The party reached the
Jail through back streets and thus
avoided crowd at the Baltimore aud
Ohio depot
Major Brown, Nutt's counsel, in an
interview Saturday evening, stated
that there would be no obstacles thrown
in the way of the prosecution by the
defense. He stated that they would
make a strong, but straight forward
plea for the young man, and
the case would be tried on its merits
Warden Smith, of the county Jail,
said last night to a reporter of this pa
per, while in conversation about the re-
moval of James Mutt to this city from
Uniontown II never saw so much
change in man in so short time in all
my experience with prisoners, as has
been in yonng Mutt since his incarcera-
ton here Saturday morning. He ap-
peared very cheerful, and is evidently,
as he says, very much pleased with his
change of quarters. He has one Of
the best cells in the Jail not through
any favoritism,.. but simply because
that cell was vacant. He has eaten
hearty meals since he come, and evi,
IDENTIFY appreciates his fare, which
while not out of the ordinary run of
prison fare, is nevertheless very palita-
BILE He is very gentlemanly prisoner,
and has courteous demeanor that is
calculated to make friends. AS | said
before, he appears to be very much
pleased with his quarters: and ! may
also say we are very much pleased
with the appearance and actions Of
the unfortunate young man.
1t is expected that there will be
great rush to the court room this morn
ing. The general desire to see the
young man and those 80 nearly related
to him who have figured in the famous
case will attract hundreds TO the vicin.

opening of the trial to-day.
Mrs. Mutt and her daughter Lizzy,
together with a host of witnesses
friends and sympathisers, will arrive in
the city this morning from Uniontown.
A large influx Of visitors from other
points on the Baltimore and Ohio and
Southwest Railroads are expected to
arrive during the day.

To Memo.

The rule among all journalists is
that no notice should be taken OF
anonymous articles in q paper. And
this rule is from the fact that any man
who writes under an assumed name is
afraid to give the public his real one,
and is therefore coward, to whom no
attention should be paid, We departed
from this rule in noticing Mr. Nobody
more properly Mr.. Nincompoop-in
his cowardly attacks in the Eagle upon
US, and challenged him to come out in
his true colors. He has been careful
not to do so, and therefore must stand
published as q coward, one who seeks
to do wrong to another in the dark and
secretly. The CITIZEN appears to be
q thorn in his side. and his object is to
injure US and it politically. But his
falsehoods are so absurd that he but
further established his known bad
character for truth. AS several can
testify, the man who has nothing more
than the word of this Mr.. Nemo-Nin-
compoop-Buffoon, for anything, has
but little indeed. His proper place, in
stead of representing intelligent people
in a legislative or any capacity, would
be one where he could amuse others by
low, vulgar jokes. AS mimic, harle-
quin, a mnuntebank or clown, he is
success. To conduct the performances
of circus as clown would perhaps be
his most natural and appropriate voca-
ton, the one nature has most fitted him
for. And in conclusion we have only
to add that we have always regarded
it as the duty of this paper to expose
humbugs and deceivers. Its good rep
utation gained in that respect will be
maintained. 1t is duty it owes to
and will continue to give to the people
of this county-all the nemos, nincom-
poops, buffoons or frauds to the contra

Court House Matter.

We understand there has been no
final settlement as yet between the
County Commissioners and the insur-
ancc companies relative to the loss by
the Court House fire. The question of
repairing or rebuilding the old house
we believe is also undetermined. This
question in all probability cannot be
fully decided for time yet. from the
circumstances surrounding the case.
The first matter necessary is a settle.
ment with the insurance companies
In the mean time the walls of the old
building are undoubtedly being affected
by this winter weather, which may
have bearing on the question and
cost of repairing or rebuilding.

The Philadelphia Times, 1884.

The TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever before
in its history-more widely read and quoted,
more heartily commended, and more fercely
criticized, with a more complete organization,
and an abler stall of contributors-aud with
the same independence and fearlessness that
has made it successful and powerful in the
past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no can.
dldate to advance, but will meet every ISSUE as
it has ever done, with consistant devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
tiou as the leading journal Of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance to
all that can add value to newpaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape and
with it large variety of entertaining and in
structive reading. The best writers at home
and abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and make il journal adapted both to the busy
and to the leisure of the home circle, q
welcome visitor to intelligent and honest citi-
zens Of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the types
of every passing week whatever has lasting in.
terest TO people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper aud print as
would have astonished US all twenty years ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents week, fifty cents q
month, Sc year, two cents copy.
SUNDAY-FouE cents a copy, 81 year.
WEEKLY-One copy, 50 year; five copies.
So year; ten copies, Sl5 year; twenty copies,
S25 year, with one copy free to the getter-up
of every club.

since the killing of his father, but upon
other members of the Mutt family.
Besides these, it is stated that insanity
runs, through and has existed in the
Mutt family, both uncles and aunts of
young Mutt having been insane per-
sons. From this, hereditary insanity
will likely be established, and added
to the unbalanced mind of the young
man, overthrown by grief and outrage,
there can be but little doubt of his en-
tire acquittal.
The case may probable occupy the
whole of this week and more.
