Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1886-01-16
THE SPEAKER TRlCKED

The Stars Washington special
says: While Carlisle was engaged
III making up his committee list he
received a very large number OF
letters from the Western and
Southern States, urging the selec-
ton of committee on the financial
subject who would recommend the
suspension of silver coinage. 1t
now turns out that his suspicion
that these letters were maunfac-
tured, were true. A circular was
sent out from New York, probably
by the Chamber Of Commerce,
which was at the bottom of the de-
LUCE Of letters that is said to haye
frightened Eyarts into silence on
the silver question. AS IN the case
Of Evarts, the bankers and others
who received these letters immed-
lately wrote the Speaker as sug
gested. They succeeded for short
time in giving him much concern.
It is safe to say when he found out
the deyice, Of which he was being
made the victim, he was indignant,
but the composition of the commit.
tee which will consider the silver
coinage question shows that his
judicial nature prevailed over his
personal feelings, and he did full
Justice to the interest Of those
whose special representative body
is supposed to haye worked upon
him the rather shabby and dishonor'
able trick.

Give us a little more "Republl-
EN- rascality and thievery." The
Toledo Blade says: The Ohio Peni-
Tertiary during the last year Of Re-
publican administration paid its ex-
penses and had suplus of $50, 900.
The past year shows q deficit Of
$153,874 under Democratic Admin
istration.

w. H. Dickson, United States at
torney for Utuh, returning to the
territory after his resignation be-
cause he heard it said that his re-
tirement had been effected through
the liberal use Of money paid into
his own hand. He thought the
easiest way to refute the charges
was to come back to Utah.-Butte
Record.
Those who knew Dickson would
never believe that he took Mormon
money to leave Utah and in refut-
ing the charge he will prove him
self as more of a thorn on the side
of Polygamy than ever.

American rascals fee 10 Canada
for safety, Canadian rascals find re-
fuge in the United States, which
causes the Toronto News to say:
"The existing extradition arrange

provement. The fact that the
two most advanced nations OF the
earth should have been negotiating
for fifteen years-harboring each

such simple matter as this, with

striking reflection upon the abb

He was driving Mr.. Heath's team to

A Fiendish Outrage.

On Monday evening last, about
half past four o'clock, as some of the
children who attend the Minister
school located on the banks of Tio.
nesta creek opposite Kellettvills this
county, were returning home, and as
they were passing along on an old
road not frequently travelled and had
gotten about mile back on the hill
from the creek they were met by an
unknown man. There were four or
five children, and as he passed them
he put his hand on the heads of one
or two, until he came to Katie Miller,
aged II years, and a daughter of Mr..
Z. d. Miller. To her he said, II am
going to take you down to Tobey's,"
(meaning Mr.. d. B. Tobey's place, on
the creek bank near the school house)
and took hold Of and held the girl.
This frightened the other children,
who ran on to their homes aud gave
the alarm. 1t was perhaps half an
hour before help came, and then, too
late; the iend had accomplished his
hellish design and fed, while his
young victim was making her way
home as best she could, and was met
on the way by her brother and some
other men. She was taken home and
cared for, aud was found to be in q
delicate, though not dangerous condi.
tion.
Search for the william was imme.
diately instituted and has been in
progress ever since, the entire neigh.
borhood being stirred up to a high
pitch. Up to yesterday evening no
clue had been found. The children's
description of the man is that he wore
a pair of dirty pants, old shoes, and
had on mask made of a piece of
cloth that looked like part of an un.
dershirt, with simply two holes cut
for the eyes. The girl says that he
smelled of oil he asked her if she
knew him and she replied that she
didn't Evidently the perpetrator is
acquainted in the neighborhood, and
doubtless had his plans fully laid for
his 6endish act. The parents of the
outraged girl are among the most es.
Unable in our county, and are almost
frantic over the affair. 1t is sincerely
hoped the william may be speedily
brought to justice.

An ExquisiteIy Lovely Thing.

A most bewitching picture is being
brought out, entitled "Little Sweet
hearts," Probably no picture in any
part of the world has ever met with
such an outburst of applause. 1t is
being brought out by Graham & Mil
lar, Art Publishers, 146 Centre Street,
New York. Everybody is sure to
want one. They want good agents.
Here is chance to make lots of mon.
ey. Boys and girls during summer
vacation can make a little pile. It
isn't often we recommend anything,
but "Little Sweetheart" is praised by
the best people in the land.

THE FOURTH.

The third of July, 1886, seems q
matter of so long ago that it is hardly
worth talking about now. But it is
only fair to state that goodly crowd
of people we're in town and seemed to
enjoy themselves quite extensively.
The program was carried out as ar
ranged, the fantastic parade being first
in order. There was = good turnout
and considerable fun was afforded the
spectators. Mr.. Tats's speech was
well received and heartily applauded.
The races commenced at one o'clock
and were quite exciting. The winners
are given below in the order in which
they came in:
Boys race, 6 years old and under
A. Ruth, L. Blum, B. Fitzgerald.
Boys from to 10 years-Davey
Blum, j. Thomas, w. Fitzgerald.
Boys from II to 10 years-Burt
Thomson, John Warner, M. Rhodes.
Free for all race. COsgrove, By.
ron COburn, jim Thomson. Hurdle
rAce-Jim Thomson, E. Mealy, Burt
Stevens. WheelbarroW race-Byron
COburn, Jim ThomoOn, Geo. Hood.
Sack race-Chas. Nellis, Sim Hood,
E. Mealy. The tub race wac won by
Will Morrow. The creased pig was
let loose and taken on the first jump
by Elmer Mealy, and the ease with
which he held it would indicate that
it had been CREASED" with rosin and
pitch. The horse race ended in a dis.
pute which has not as yet been set.
tied. But perhaps the most interest.
ing event of the day was the laying
out of the young fellows by the mar.
ried men in a game Of base ball, the
score standing II to 13 in favor of
the latter.
And thus ended the Fourth--or
third, rather--of July in Tionesta
this year.

The Everhart Murder Again.


The Clarion JacksOnian gives the
following account of the arrest of two
men for completely in the Everhart
murder:
On Saturday last a man giving his
name as E. D. Ward, and presenting
credentials as a member of Pinker.
tons detective agency, arrived in
Clarion and solicited the aid of Sheriff
Wheelock to arrest two men whom
the detective claimed were the parties
who murdered Mrs. j. S. Everhart
and her mother, in Washington town.
ship, last April. On Saturday eve.
ming Ward and Sheriff Wheelock left
town and the same night returned
with a man named w. D. Norton,
whom they had arrested near Licking
vile, having rudely snatched him
from the bed of straw widow who
resides in that vicinity, and with whom
Norton has been making his home for
some time past. On Sunday the Sher-
iff and detective went out on another
expedition, and on Monday returned
with another man named w. w. Will.
son, whom they had arrested in the
vicinity of Cochranton, Crawford
county. Both men demanded q hear.
ing and this was granted them. Thurs.
day, July 10Th, being fixed as the date.
Norton has been circulating between
Lickingville and the Kane oil field
for some time past. The reputation
given him by the people in the vicini-
ty of Lickingville is none of the best.
1t is said that he was in that vicinity
prior and up to the date Of the mur.
der, and was then missing for two
weeks. He claims to be a detective,
and laughs at the idea of being ar.
rested for the murder. OF Wilson
we know nothing, but be appears to
be equally Indifferent to his arrest.
Many stories are ahoat, but little
can be known until the hearing, when
something may be developed. Ward
appears to be positive that he has the
right parties, while the prisoners seem
to be just as positive that they will be
acquitted. There is nothing in their
conduct to indicate that they have the
least concern as to the result. The
theory Of the murder is that Norton,
who was in the neighborbood, knew
that Everhart held the poor funds of
the township; that he secured the
help of Wilson, whom he knew, and
that the two planned a robbery, and
waited for 3 convenient time when
Everhart would be away from home !;
that the attempt was made and Nor.
ton was recognized, and the result was
the murder of both the women to seal
their lips. This is the theory. What
the real facts may be, or what can be
proven remains to be discovered, and
until that time We refrain from max
ing any comments as to the guilt or
innocence of the prisoners.

These fires were all started in broad

Monday the alarm had become SO
general that the Postmaster did not
dare to have mails brought from the

so late that an armed guard was de-
tailed to escort the mail and it came
