After Him.

LEBANON, April Is This community was
thrown into great excitement this morning by
horseman riding into town in quest of the
sheriff to arrest John Gottleib, who lives eight
miles northeast of here, for the crime of rape
upon his daughter, a girl about 16 years old
1t seems that Gottleib has been perpetrating
the fiendish crime at intervals since last Christ
mas, when his wife died, and by threatening
the life Of the girl he kept the matter secret
until yesterday, when a neighbor woman
caught him attempting to repeat his lustful
purpose. She was spared her life upon the
condition that she would not reveal his crime.
Sheriff Ferris, from Gettysburg, was hastily
summoned, reached here at noon and went
out to arrest Gottleib, but he had taken alarm
and made his escape. Heis in this immediate
vicinity and any one that will apprehend the
villain will rid society OF most dangerous
person. Send any information concerning
him to the sheriff at Gettysburg, D. T.
John Gottlieb is Pennsylvania Dutchman,
about five feet six inches tall, dark complex
ion, black hair, curlyi short beard when last
seen, looks to be a rather hard customer, very
laxative, but smooth and pleasant, claims to
be veterinary surgeon from York state, blue
eyes, first finger of left hand partly cut off on
end, weighs about $50 pounds, talks loose and
inclined to brag and lie considerable.

Beer.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Both sides i'm
the great fight that begins to-day at noon
between the brewers in the combine and
their employers are resting quiet this
morning. The men at their headquarters
said they were determined to make the
employers take the iniatiatiye. At the
headquarters of the Brewers association
Secretary Suffert said: There is no news
yet; 10 O clock is the time fixed for the
lockout, and every brewery in the COM
bine, if combine it can be called, will be-
closed, and about 1000 men will be-
thrown out of work, but expect fully
half will return as soon as possible at our
terms. The report that fifteen of our
members had deserted is utterly false.
At this moment we control 25.-
4O0, 600 of the $4,000. 900 barrels of beer
brewed in this country. The men are
wrong in this trouble and it will cost
them dearly" Supt. Murphy has ordered
all reserves to come to the station house.
At noon all the brewers blew noon
whistle and formally locked out their
men and they will be paid off at 1
O. clock.

turning board, ana asked why 1t had been
that every man connected with the returning
board, from the highest to the lowest, had
been rewarded with object There was mo- age
OF administration history that demanded more
explanation than that which no stared him in
the face. He Vest stood there to vouch
that whatever had been done In the state Of
louisiana on that occasion had been done,
not to bring about an unfair election, not to
trample on the ballot Of any human being
but to defend themselves against the out
rageous ard criminal conspiracy against their
property at the hands of men who had gone
there for the single and sole purpose of
plumber
He criticised sarcastically the opposite SEN
timents expressed by Senator Sherman in his
two recent speeches at Nashville, Tenn, and
Springfield, ILL.,, and said in conclusion: "At
the risk even of the senator's contempt un-
dertake to say that the American people never
today, but, like James G. Blaine, they have
already come to the conclusion that 1t is Inn
possible even for the ingenuity of the senator
from Ohio to explain why it was that the vote
of Louisiana, as returned by the returning
board, was good for the purpose Of giving the
electoral vote of Louisiana to Hayes for the
presidency, but was not good for the purpose
of giving it to Packard TOR the governorship
of the state'-
Senator Sherman reiterated his previous
statements and said in reference to Packard
that President Hayes had no power over re-
turns sent to the legislature. After the DEM
ocrats had inaugurated their reign of tyranny
to drive Packard out Il was not In the power
Of the president to recognize him without
usurpation. Senator Sherman defended the
members Of the returning board and declared
again that the colored people in the south
must be protected In their rights.
The bill went over without action and the
senate adjourned.

He also saw four men in the room. The ped
dler drew hisreyolver and was told to make a
noise at the back of the house. The men in
side rushed out and three Of them were killed

Very HOMOGENEOUS.

WAvERLY, April 16.--This morning the
Billings case was again token up, but hur-
ried glance about the room told that the trial
was losing its interesting features and that
Billings, who had been resting over Sunday,
had fully recovered from his four days' Siege
on the witness stand. The worn expression
which had possession Of his features this
morning was probably caused by the fear that
his wife, who was then on the witness stand,
would not corroberate his testimony In many
particulars; ana also that in case she should
stumble she might convince the jury that
there was collision between them to obtnih
possession Of Kingsley's property.
Mrs. Billings testimony covered considers
Bile ground In regard to the essei she said
that the revolver found beside Kingsley was
seen in his possession many times by her, and
cousin were up to his Office with Kingsley
they saw this revolver in the drawer of Kings
ley's desk. She also stated how Kingsley
made improper advances to her, and being
overcome by his fascinating power she yielded
to his proposition and that they had inter-
course several times during the summer.
She also stated that |. L. Hayes, who testi-
fed last Week as having seen two revolyers In
Billings possession; was frequent caller at
their house while he was Iii litigation
with the Deans. She swore most positively
| that her husband never owned revolver ex-
cept the little Smith & Wesson found in his
overeoat when arrested, and that Hayes never
saw him have two fesblsetss She said that
the revolver just spoken of was on the niaitel
| the morning Hayes was at their house, but no
one alluded to it or spoke Of lending it to
Hayes to defend himself with except himself,
| when he stated that If he had o gttn his
| enemy would be liable to leave him alone. At
this point she was questioned If she ever saw
the revolver she ssid she and her cousin found
in Kingsley's office at any other plsee. To
this interrogatory she said she found 1t under
his pillow when she went to make his bed
| while Kingsley was stopping with them.
Mrs. Billings claims that she was with her
husband the day they met Charley Brown
.(who testified fer the state that Billings Of
fered him $50 to swear that the Shane girl
was not virtuous), and that her husband had
| no conversation with him other than about
the big floor Of the rink, and she stated most
positively that her husband said nothing like
| that testified to by Brown. She also said that
the Shane girl came to Russell's, where she,
(Mrs. Billings) and her husband were stop
ping, and called him outside to have a pri-
yate talk with him, which he told her of on
his coming in, to the effect that the Shane
| girl had been seduced and was in the family
| way, and wanted counsel to prosecute her
betrayer, and that her husband said that he
told the Shane girl that he would not act as
| her attorney.

DR.. RIO. Flowers Great work.

have been benefited by the remarkable
skill of DR.. Flow RS will be pleased to
know that the Spectator Publishing Com
pany, of Boston, Mass, have just issued
beautiful new pamphlet containing.
among other interesting matter, record

their nature, having been performed af-
ter the highest authorities and most learn
ed representatives of the old school Of
practice had pronounced'the fiat of doom,
and declared them to be beyond the limit
Of the durable. So marvellous are these
strange stories of lives rescued from
the jaws of the grave, that, were

the sweet fascination of the miraculous
and the mystery of the mystic hanging
O er him.

cent issue of the New Haven Register, on
DR.. Flowers strange power of diagnos-
ing, where. by sympathetic intuition, he
is enabled to describe the exact condition
of the internal organism of any person,
and describe his disease, i.s rise, pro-
gress, and the attending symptoms far
more accurately than the patient him-
self could give them, and this without
asking the patient q question. This
power accounts, to a very great extent,
for the doctors phenomenal success in
treating his thousands of patients, large
per cent. Of whom are treated in their
homes, hundreds and thousands Of miles
from Boston.
