Detectives Investigating It--A colored
Arraatah

OcloCtiNes infehtiEhtinE it-A COlnrpu Man
Arrested.
Centreville, Md, March 12. States
Attorney Harper has secured the SER
vices OF Detectives Humphrey and Sci
bold to investigate the murder of
Samuel Rash. They spent yesterday
with Deputy Sheriff Roberts in making
thorough examination of the sur
rouudings. The following facts have
been elected: Last night they caused
the arrost Of colored man, Henry
Gibbs, and he was committed until
Saturday on the charge of carrying
weapons concealed. He had lived
formerly with Thomas Brown and re-
Gently was much sought after by him.
The statements of Gibbs were contra
dictory and it was deemed advisable to
take him in charge in the hope that
further evidence from him would be of
value, either in favor Of or against
Brown, as he is known to have been
frequently in company with the latter.
On the first visit of the detectives to
the home of Brown pistol was found
in bureau drawer in his room, but
later examination showed that it had
been removed. Gibbs denied any
knowledge of it, but on searching him
a revolver was found in his pocket. 1t
is now thought that the tracks Of tho
two vehicles in the peach orchard in
the rear OF Rash's home have most
important bearing on the case, and if
this is true more than one person was
directly or indirectly concerned in the
commission of the crime. Messrs,
Pumphrey and Soibold state that they
arc securing points that will result in
90 furo stu Aha 80,
party or parties, but do not yet justify
any definite conclusion. The deed was
evidently done by some one thoroughly
familiar with the Environments of the
home of MIR. Rash.
AN AUTOPSY HELD.
CentreviIle, Nd, March IL. AS a
matter of precaution State's Attorney
Harper to-day made an examination Of
tho body of Samuel NJ. Rash, who was
murdered last week. Drs. Roberts and
Finley performed the autopsy and found
that the shot had penetrated the loft
lung and tho bowels and that one had
penetrated one sido of the heart. In
view of these facts, il is peculiar that
death was not virtually instantaneous,
No additional evidence has been OBJ
tained. A second examination of tho
tracks OF the teams and men in the
peach orchard revealed the fact that
efforts had been made to obliterate all
traces. The weather has interfered
with tho investigation, but Messrs.
Seibold and Pumphrey arc confident
that the clues of their possession will
soon lead TO something definite. The
hearing OF Henry Gibbs, the colored
man arrested on suspicion, has been
postponed.

Morrill, Celebrates the Great Victory

Saturday evening, Nov. 14th, the Repub-
leans and some of the silverites of Morrill,
met at the village and celebrated the cleo
ton of Mckinley and Hobart by one of the
grandest Examinations, bontires and parade,
ever held in town. L am not able to say
who started the thing, but think it must
have been some of our young Republicans,
who felt that such glorious victory as we
had Nov. Sd should not go unnoticed. Your
correspondent got a tip of it, and at once
started for Belfast for supplies, and after
visiting many places found a few flags, Jap
anese lanterns, candles, and a few old
thrown-away torches, and transparencies,
and supplies furnished by an old friend, A.
l. Brown, and returned home with the de-
termination to do what we could. 1t was
not long before the boys, led by j. 0. Blake,
and Dick Merriam, had their teams at work
hauling old stumps and other combustibles,
landing them on tie historical hill above the
church, the place where Uncle Tom cele-
braUed the first election of Mr.. Cleveland.
Then they repaired to the shop of Oscar
Thompson and fitted up the torches and
Trans pharmacies, IN The meantime the peO-
pie of the village prepared to illuminate
their houses, and finer display of flags
Japanese anterns, bunting, transrarances,
etc, in nearly every house was never before
seen in Morrill,. Here the parade started
led by A. B. Hatch, our young merchant,
mounted, as marshal, with band of music,
fife and drum, and made round of the vii
lage, cheering at every house Illuminated
AT the home of Mrs. n. l.. Simmons, the
lady gave them a fine speech, which was
duly cheered: and unexpectedly at the home
of the writer cheers were given for McKin-
ley and Hobart, and speech was called for.
Taken by surprise as | was, and thinking
that talking was unnecessary, l could say
but few words, and got in return three
hearty cheers. Thanks for the same After
the parade the boys returned to the hill,
and to the fire. A large pile of stave edgings,
given by John Vickery, son-in-law of Uncle
Tom was added, and then there was grand
illumination of the whole village, even upon
windows of the Silvertes. This with
SPLENDID show of fireworks, red fire,
etc, concluded the exercises. A large crowd
of pc ople were present and all pronounced
it rand time. No disturbance or drunk
enne So of any kind was seen or heard. The
people went home satisfied, and the scene
closed at 10 o'clock. P NJ NJ.
