Do Not Fear 10 Fire.

The Republican side in this county
that II hurt by Congressman Brosius'
selection of Griest for postmaster, though
Il has two organs, both daily, in our
town, seems to he less fortunate when it
gets down to the metropolis of the state;
where 1t has to fall back upon the non
Republican Times instead of the ortho-
dox Republican organs, the Press and
the Inquirer, which do not seem dis
posed to osympathize with their hostility
to Griest and the congressman. We
suRgest to them that they had bet
ter open a vigorous campaign In
the journals they control at home,
which should suffice to acquaint the
president and the people with the OBJ
jections they have to Griest as post
master and with the iniquity of Brosius
In demanding him.
There Is no use in their being modest
about 1t, or indulging in restraint that
they long TO burst away from. Let them
open out in solid volleys, and
curl the air with the sulphurous
smoke that turks In the ammu-
milton they have in their lockers. Let
Us have as lively an exposition of the de-
merits Of Greist as they can make and
perhaps their fire may reach as far as
the White House. 1t will be a relief of
their pent up feelings anyhow. We
- really afraid that the vio-
lence of the restraint under which
they are putting themselves may
result in terrific exposition later on.
Our two contemporaries do not do JUS
tice to their feelings in the mild declara-
ton Of the NeW Era of the 18th copied by
the Examiner of the l4th, with cordial
agreement and weaker comment. 1t Ia
gratifying to see. the unity which prevails
In these once rival organs Of the domi-
nant party but they need to show that
they represent the unity of the
party, that Congressman Brosius
y quite outside its sentiment and that
his selected postmaster is several de-
grees worse than any Democrat. To do
this work satisfactorily evidently calls
for vigorous words and strong demon
stration. Language is called for, gentle
men, language!

"Black Bart,sv Confession,

Reimund Holzhay, "Black Bart" on
trial at Bessemer, Michigan, for murder
and robbery, on Thursday took the stand
Holzhay told the story of his life from
the day OF his birth in Germany to that of
his arrest at Republic, Mich He admitted
that he robbed the Milwaukee x Northern
train six months ago; that he held up the
Wisconsin Central train at Cadott, Wis, a
month later and that he waylaid the Goge-
bic stage and shot Banker Fleischbein.
Holzhay claimed that several years ago he
was hurt by "a fall from horse, and since
that time had been subject to spells"
during which he did not know what he
was doing. He said he was under this
"spell,' when the various crimes were COM

A VERY QUEER TRIAL.
A Five Minute Courtship, sudden Death
and sacred Chickens.


Mrs. Helen F. Moore and her brother,
Frederick Il. whitcomb, Of wilbraham,
Mass, on trial for the alleged murder Of the
woman husband, John ID. Moore, we're ac-
quilted on Thursday after long and sensa-
tiotal trial. Moore was seventy-two years
old. His wife died q few months ago, aud
looking about for mother life partner he met
Mrs. Loren Bliss, a middle aged widow,
who had buried two husbands. Five
minutes after seeing her Moore proposed
marriage and offered her s400. She refused
at first but finally accepted, and after a
courtship lasting less than week the odd
pair were married. Mrs. Moore agreed
that they lived barmoniously together for
years he would will her $500. Moore was
taken home sick on October 22 and the
next day died In fearful pain.
AsMrs. Moore and her brother, Frederick
Whitcomb, who lived at his sisters house,
were confirmed morphine and opium
caters they were arrested, charged with the
murder. Fifty-soyen bottles, labelled
"Sulpbate Morphine" were found In the
house. Whitcomb at the time exhibited
large roll Of bills. lie seldom had dollar.
Neighbors testified that when Moore was
taken Ill they ordered Whitcomb TO go for
doctor. He was gone all night and re-
I irned without one. He was again ordered
to go for doctor and was not seen until
he was arrested.
Three doctors arrived on the day he died,
but could not aid him. Three doctors, the
medical examiner and the chemist analyzed
part of Moore's stomach. One said death
was due to inflammation Of the stomach
another swore 1t WAS paralysis, still
another thought It was morphine poison
ing. and the other owned up that he had no
idea what caused his death.
Mrs. Moore, Mr.. Whitcomb and two
neighbors testified that Moore had told
them frequently that he had acute pains in
his stomach and had used morphine.

be proper development of the common
school system. The greatest good to the

the aim should he to give good prncti-
cal education of the kind that will make
the greatest number of intelligent and

illustrated last summer by the cutting

Governor Beavers Address.

In advising the broadening of the
foundations of the schools and reducing
OF the cornices and cupola, our poetical
governor made the strong point of his
address to the teachers. There are many
braaches taught that have no place
in common school education and
" would plainly he far better
70 introduce in place of them
manual training, sewing and cooking.

Sickness at Vest Point.

IT is stated that half the corps of cadets
at West Point upwards of I50) had reported
at the hospital i'll from poisoning. II turns
out that the illness occurred few DAYS
ago; that it was not poisoning, but a
trouble Of the bowels, and the attack was
general with all connected with the mess
hall, drivers, gardeners, walters, etc., far
ing as badly AS the cadets. Even those
who had not tasted food at the mess were
as badly afflicted as the others. The sur
geon had his hands full of business for a
while, but all recovered. Superintendent
Wilson has appointed a commission TO in

papers. The story is that Irishmen from
all over the Eastern states who believe in
freeing Ireland by dynamite, have been
holding secret meetings in Now York, and

ton to resume the dynamite business.
According to ODynamite Rossa resolutions
we're adopted which fill the first page of his

with gore. One paragraph ends as follows:
"There are thousands of Irishmen In Ire
land and England standing face to face with
the foe with the element of destruction in

Irishmen, mt home aud abroad, whose
blood would jump with JOY at seeing the

GRADUATES of tho Phil adelpha Normal
school will probably be the first women
admitted to the University of Pennsylva-
| MIA, under the recent decision to establish
| co-cducation in that institution. The way
| oft Is this. The city gave the University
some lots adjoining the campus, and in
exchange large number of free scholar
ships in medical, dental and law depart
ments were opened to high school grad
yates. The city had gained long before
and in similar way free scholarships in
the undergraduate departments. All
these scholarships are now opened to girls
IN well as boys, and If they are offered to
scholars having the highest average, 1t is
believed that tho Normal school girls will
| take most of them.

In the month Of october this nation sent
to other lands nearly hve million dollars
worth of coal oil, over ten million dollars
worth of beef, hog and dairy products, and
cotton to the value of Si5,3is,5f0. In the
first we about equalled the exports OF
October 1887 in the second we exceeded
them by three and a-half millions. We
also ex ported cattle valued at over two and
a-half millions, but IL Is discouragipg to
note that the travelling days Of the great
American pig appear to be ended. We
only exported in the month trihing
twenty eight thousand dollars worth of
hogs. Our exports of hog products show
increase in bacon and lard, nearly double
the exports Of year ago.
THE time Of trip around the world Is
soon likely to be further shortened by the
establishment of Great Britain and japan
passenger line. Contracts have been
placed in England by the Canadian Pacific
railway for three arst-class steamers to
run from Vancouver to japan, and three
more are to be built for the Atlantic ser.
vice. Tho latter are to be two thousand
ton ships of q maximum speed of twenty
knots an hour. at Is intended that the
VOYAGE to Halifax In the winter and to
Quebec in the summer from the south of
England shall be accomplished inside OF
FIVE and a half days. Special facilities will
be afforded through passengers by fast
trains running direct to Vancouver, and 1t
is expected that the passage from tho south

than twenty-three days" 1t is believed

ehces. Three Of the visiting athletes are
still in this country, and one Of them, j. j.
Cullen, has become a member of the Gaelic
Society in New York. Not the least reason
for his stay here is the desire of the society
to introduce hurling as a prominent and
regular feature of American sports, and Mr..
Cullen is acting as a general instructor.
He is honored in Ireland as the champion
individual hurler. Under his guidance at
least one game is played every pleasant
Sunday in Weehawken, and by reason Of
the open winter the sport has taken a good
start.
As hurling is 50 little understood in
America, diagram of the field is printed
herewith, as well as picture of the tools of
the game and some sketches of the play. 1t
will be seen that the field is very similar to
that used for football The dimensions are
marked in the diagram, and the general po-
sitions Of the men in full team are indi-
Gated. A similar arrangement of men in the
lower hall of the diagram would represent
the positions of the opposing team. None
of these positions are strictly maintained
during play, for, as in football, the men
must be where the ball is, and the imme-
diate scene of action is constantly changing
1t is possible to play good game OF hurting
with IA men on side, but in that case the
grounds should be smaller. The Irish rules
allow of field ds small as 140 yards BY "a
yards, and there is no objection to field
larger than that indicated in the diagram.
-Four goal posts are set up at each end of
the field. They are q ieet apart, and across
the two in the middlei is bar ten and half
feet from the ground. The general object of

last, at Montreal, in 1850, when an exchange
of prisoners took place, and be made all
possible haste back to Pennsylvania. He
served later as Lieutenant and Captain OF
Cumberland country troops under ARM
strong and Bouquet, until the Indians were
conquered.
But even after the conclusion Of peace in
1865 the inhabitants OF the border settle
merits were still uneasy and distrustful Of
the savages, and not without good cause.
At the first opportunity Indianptraders be-
gan to renew their traffic with the red men,
supplying them with spirits, arms, ammuni-
tion and anything else they wanted. The
men in the border. settlements became
alarmed, and those living in the vicinity Of
Forts Loudon and Littleton organized them
selves into a body known as the "Black
Boys" their object being to prevent the
traders from carrying supplies to the
Indians. Smith was the leader Of these
selfappointed regulators" In May, 1865,
a train of pack-horses, on their
way to Fort Pitt with goods, were
fired upon by the Black Boys and the
traders compelled to surrender their stores,
which were collected together and burned.
These and many similar escapades, in all Of
which Smith and his father (the latter
justice OF the peace in Cumberland county,
bore prominent part, created profound
sensation and led to voluminous corre-
spondence between the British military
commander and the provincial authorities.
But all efforts to capture and punish the
rebel, Smith, and his band were futile,
though the Black boys continued for years
to harass Indian traders and British sol
diers.
CAPTURE OF FORT.
It was in 1863 that Smith and his band
performed their most daring achievement,
it being nothing less than the capture OF the
British fort at Bedford and the release Of
the persons who were held there as prisoners,
charged with offenses similar to those per-
petrated by the Black boys. This bold and
lawless act was performed by IS men, who
made an attack at an early hour in the
morning when the guards were perhaps
trihe less vigilant than usual. Smith took
possession of the arms in the fort, and after
forcing the blacksmiths to cut the irons
from the prisoners, the Black Boys took a
hasty departure. This deed also appears to
have been unpunished.
The same year that he took the fort Smith
was tried for the murder of a man named
johnson, but acquitted. In 1772 he was
after his removal to Westmoreland county
he served in the same capacity. In 1774 he
was captain O. militia company fighting
against the Indians. In 1776, at the head
OF a company of rangers in New Jersey,
with 36 men, he defeated detachment Of 230
Hessians and took several of them prisoners.
Then came his election as member of the
Convention and in the State
Assembly, to which he was several times re-
elected; his appointment as colonel of
regiment in service against the Western
Indians; his removal to Bourbon county,
in 1888 and his continual service
as a legislator until 1899. He died about
the beginning OF the present century.
The whole history of the pioneers Of
Western Pennsylvania contains no record
of more remarkable character than James
Smith. BARNEY.
