proclamation fixing two days to be
observed as Arbor Days by the peo-
pie of this state. In it he says:
The beneficient effects consequent
upon the due observance of "Arbor
Day" have been witnessed with in
terest and pleasure by the citizens
of Pennsylvania. The planting and
cultivating Of trees and flowers can
not be too highly commended, nor
its great Importance too early i'm
pressed upon the youthful mind.
Considered from a sanitary, in
tellectual, aesthetic and financial
point of view, it should be encour-
aged by every citizen who has an
abiding interest in the future well
fare of the Commonwealth.
Now, therefore, |. Robert b. Pat
tison, Governor of said Common
wealth, in accordance with custom,
which has received the official sane

by the Governor is requested to ap-
point annually day to be designat-
ed as Arbor day in Pennsylvania,
and to recommend, by proclamation
to people, on the days named, the

the public school grounds, and
along the public highways through
out the state, do hereby designate
and proclaim Thursday the 18th day
of April, A. d. 1892, and Friday the
sixth day of May, A. d. 1892, to be
observed as Arbor Days in Pennsyl.

A COLD BLOODED BUTCHERY
The Horrible Tragedy Witnessed
BY "a Young Man.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-While
James Beal, a young man Of West
moreland county, Pa, was tramping
over the Laurel Hill mountain
yesterday afternoon on his way to
visit his sister, who resides three or
four miles from the county line in
Somerset county, he reached a loop
recently cut in the road to avoid a
chuckhole-on of the most lonely
and desolate in the mountains.
Here he heard the command ''halt"
ring out, apparently from the dense
wood to his right. He thought the
command was directed to him and
he stopped, but glancing around he
could see no one and he moved
cautiously forward, peering through
the underground. A few yards
from him, standing erect in the
middle of an abandoned road, was q
sturdy looking, gray headed man,
with his face turned toward two
men, who stood partly hidden in
the trees, and holding two rifles
pointed at him.
Halt" was the command young
Beal heard again. The old man
seemed to be willing to surrender
and raised his right hand as though
to tell the men to hold of. With
the first movement came the sharp
crack of one of the rifles and the
old man, without word, dropped
on his knees. Young Beal jumped
behind tree. Again he heard the
command "halt," followed by another
shot, and the old man lay writhirg
on the ground. Then one of the
men rushed into the road and with
his gun beat the victim over the
head. Then the two grasped the
unconscious old man by the arms,
and with kicks and curses began to
drag him in the dense underground.
Beal thought he was in The presence
of highwaymen and took to his
heels, starting hack towards West.
moreland county. A mile or so
from the scene of the shooting he
came to the house of Jonathan
Hockstetter. He told the family of
the bloody scene he had witnessed.
They directed him to another road
by which he could reach his sisters
house. When Beal reached the
house he told those assembled there
of the tragedy.
While Beal was reciting his story
to crowd of men Harvey Hook
stetter came up and anxiously asked
if anv one had seen his father
Jonathan. The old man had been
at the Trent postoffice during the
afternoon, but had left for his home
three miles distant. Beal gave a
description and young Hockstetter
exclaimed "My God, that was
father"
The VILLAGERS Immediately formed
a posse to search for the body.
Under Beal's guidance the posse,
well armed, repaired to the scene of
the occurrence, but no trace of the
body could be found. A large
quantity of blood had formed a
pool where the deed was committed,
but this was the only evidence to
sustain Beal's story. Terrible ex-
element prevails and close search
ing is being made for the murderers.
The tragedy is believed to be the
| work of moonshiners, who swore to
have Hockstetter's life for his testi-
mony against four OF their CON-
panions at the present session of the
| United States district court at
Scranton. Where his body now
lies nobody knows, but his friends
and several officers are securing the
Laurel Hill mountain, following the
snow tracks of the men who killed
him and concealed or carried away
