versity, at Morgantown, where he sue
cessfully took two years course in
one, and graduated with honor and
distinction in his class. He returned
to his home and began the practice of
law with marked success.
From an early age he manifested
considerable interest in politics, and in
1884 stumped the entire county for
Blaine and Logan. He was the first
president of the "Sherman Invincibles"
the leading young mems Republican
club of the State at that time. At the
Keyser convention held September 10,
1886, he was unanimously elected
chairman of the Second District Con-
gressional Committee and since that
time has held various important and
responsible positions in the Republi-
can party. AS campaign worker he
has but few superiors. Shortly after
the last campaign he was appointed a
U. S. guager at the Hannis Distillery
in this city, at lucrative salary, and
it is now reported that he will shortly
receive a consulate appointment to
Canada by President Harrison.
Mr.. Pitzer for some time past has
been widely known in literary circles,
having been identified with the De-
troit Free Press, Cincinnati Enquirer,
Wheeling Register, Baltimore San, and
other leading papers. He has many
warm friends in both political parties,
the bar, and the press, and is what
may be properly termed a popular self
made man. His ambition and social

COMMANDER EVANS.
The American Officer Who Defed
the Chilean Minister.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The spirited
reply of Commander Evans, of the York
town, to the notification of the Chilean
minister of foreign affairs that he had
changed his mind in regard to allowing
refugees to leave Chile unmolested has
made many persons curious to know
something about that officer.
Commander Evans is called Fighting
Bob but he is not of the Acres type
He was appointed to the navy from
Utah as an acting midshipman in 1860,
was made ensign in 1868, master in 1860
and attained his present rank in 1878.
He is probably the only officer of the
navy in active service who is perma-
nently disabled. One of his legs is bent
nearly double, the result of wound in
the knee received during an engagement
in the late war.
The story goes that after Commander
Evans was wounded he was informed
by surgeon that it would be necessary
to amputate his leg. Evans swore he
would never submit to the operation,
and, according to the account popular
about the navy department, he placed
revolver to the surgeons head and
threatened to shoot him if any attempts
at amputation were made. The leg was
not amputated, but it was so badly in
jured that it left Commander Evans a
cripple for life. He successfully re-
sisted attempts to place him on the re-
tired list on account of his disability,
and served for many years on shore
duty. Despite his crippled condition
Commander Evans is good sailor and
seems to care more for active service
than for duty on shore. He stands well
up near the head of list of command

The Assault on Ja,ob Studebaker May
End in Murder.

York, Pa, Jan. 21.-Since the United
Press dispatch of yesterday it has turned
out that Jacob Studebaker, of West
minister, Nd, who was found lying
along the railroad track near this city
badly injured, had been brutally beaten
and robbed Studebaker had formed
the acquaintance OF Elisha johnson,
colored man. of York, who started out
with him to get him acquainted with
some females. johnson, it is alleged.
decoyed him to a secluded spot and muir
derously assaulted him, telling him to
the ground with blacksmith's ham
mer, and robbed him.
To hide the crime the unconscious
man was placed on the railroad, in the
hope that a train would finish him.
johnson was identified as the man seen
running away from the place, and he
has been arrested Johnson's wife gave
up purse containing about $15 to the
officers, which she said johnson had
brought home the same night. Stude-
baker identified johnson as his assail-
ant, and he was committed to Jail for
highway robbery and assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. Should Stude
baker die, which is very probable, there
will be three men in York county jail
for murder.

the decision of the judges in this con
test, the editor positively states that
the judges, prior to their decision, did
not officially know the name of a SIN
gle contributor. Every name was
kept concealed at the Office, and not
one was given out by him. After the
contest was decided one of the judges
asked who the contributors were, stat
ing that he did not know the name of
single one. The editor appreciates
the efforts Of all the contributors, con
siders all articles ably and well written,
and trusts that the efforts of the judges
will be satisfactorily appreciated. No
one will, doubtless, dispute the con-
scientious decision they have reached; ;
as their ability in such matters is be-

storm the British schooner Mary Rogers,
Captain w. Rogers, anchored outside
the lower end of the Breakwater. About
daylight she parted her chains and
drifted on the stone pile near the fog
signal station, where the crew landed
and were cared for. One man of the

was badly mangled and SO much ex-
hausted that he died. The Lewes life
boat landed the crew of five men, with
the dead man. The Mary Rogers will
be total loss.
