TolG : Different Story.

Another sensation in connection with
the mysterious murder of Grant Zufall
was created IN court NJ Cumberland Fri
day afternoon. Lewis Peacock and John
james, on whose testimony II. u. john
son, Jr, was indicted for the killing OF
Zafall, were afterwards indicted for per-
jury. it being shown during the trial of
johnson thatPeacock was in Virginia on
the night he swo-e that he saw johnson
strike the killing blow.
Friday afternoon Peacock was placed On
trial and Sheriff Miller swore that Pea
cock, whom he had in charge, demanded
to see him on the 9th of January, and
stated that he wanted To make a con-
fessiOn. The sheriff then read what Pea
cock had stated to him. 1t was in sub
stance as follows:
johnson did not kill Zufall. l came
to Cumberland Saturday before Christ
mas from Virginia and met James in
South Cumberland. He was in company
with negro. We went up street and
met man whom James seemed 10 know.
James asked him If ne had seen the girls,
and told him that they were down the
tow path. James asked the colored man
if he had the money, and he said Yes
We then all walked down the tOw-path.
James and the stranger, who was Zufall,
going first, myself and the colored man
hehind. At the point where Zufall's
body was afterwards found in the ice,
James struck Zufall and rolled him over
the bank. lie said TO me: IF you tel!
anybody I viii kill you
Peacock created another sensation when
he took the stand in his own behalf. He
acknowle ledged making the confession to
Sheriff Miller but stated that he was ly-
ing. and made the confession on the
promise that it would make his sentence
lighter. lie said that he was telling the
truth when he swore that II. II. Johnson
killed Zuflli, and reiterated what he
swore to when Johnson was tried, but il
was clearly shown shat Peacock was ly-
ing. 1t i thoaght by many ihai his mind
is unbalanced, but, nevertheless, he made
a good witness, and counsel for the state
could not shake his testimony.
John James, who is also indicted for
perjury, was placed GA the stand, and
stuck 10 his original story, that he saw
johnson strike Zlfall in Iaste's place
with a club. The mysterious murder of
Zafsll continues to deepen with every
turn il taxes.

Tillman's Attack.

The Senate chamber presented re-
markable spectacle Wednesday afternoon
while Senator Tillman, the South Car
olna Populist, held the floor for two
hours in a speech filled with coarse in
vective and devoted entirely to an assault
upon the financial policy of the United
States, and to malevolent and unrestrain-
ei attacks upon the President, the adj
ministration aud both branches of Con-
gress Mr.. Tillman did not hesitate to
denounce Mr.. Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle as corrupt ami worthy of i'm

ing as ''bootlicks," ''scyophants" and

Coming once more to denunciatiou of
the President, Mr.. Tillnan snapped out
the question TO Republican Senators;
why have you not impeached him ?h
Mr.. Hawley, Rep, of Connecticut, re-
piled that the last Congress was Demo-
cratic.

last Congress, Mr.. Tillman said, and

which the people have now sent here;

CAMERON FOR CUBA.
A concurrent resolution WAS reported
In the United States Senate from the
Committee on Foreign Relations, re-
quoSting the President of the United
States TO use his good offices with the
government of Spain to have belligerent
rights extended to the Cuban revolution
lists. Mr.. Cameron, a member of the
committe, presented a minority report
with concurrent resolution), request
ing the President TO use his good offices
with the government of Spain for the rec
ogaition Of the independence of Cuba.
Mr.. Caneron's report reviews at length
the action of President Grant during a
former period of insurrection in Cuba.
He contends that belligerency is ques-
tion of facts, and should be recognized
whenever il in fact exists. There is no
disputing the facts of existence of a state
OF war in Cuba, and he cited the action of
Great Britain, France and Spain in re-
oognizing the hell igerency of the South
ern Confederacy before single hostile
gun was fired in justification for similar
action i'm the case of Cuba. The resolu-
tions were placed on the calendar, to be
taken up for debate and action whenever
the committee on Foreign Relations may
deem advisable.

How many suicides, think you, reader,

the demon of chronic i'll health? Count

a sort of minor madness produced by
chronic dyspepsia? Again, insomnia, or
sleeplessness, often a result OF the same
cause, eliminates in arrangement of
the reasoning faculties. 1t is, therefore,
of momentous consequence to prevent
the arrival of disease at its chronic phase,
when it daily and nightly scnnrges the
sufferer to a dangerously uncertain goal.

ois.s judges.

on Thursday afternoon Judge Long.
checker was overrulei by his associate,
on the bench in the matter Of imposing
sentence upon prisoner before the bar
cfJusiice. The proceeding was remark
able one and the President Judge plainly
showed his discontinue. So far as our
knowledge goes ii il the first instance of
the Kind in the Judicial history of Som
erset county.
The prisoner at the bar had been con-
victed Of the crime Of adultery. Counsel
! for the Commonwealth requested the
/ Court to impose the severest sentence
| permissible under the law. in order that
justice 10 an aggrieved husband might be
done and that proper example be set
before the youth Of the county of the
penalty that awaits those who violate
their marriage contracts.
Argument between counse, on opposite
sides was heated and personal, and when
it was finally concluded the members of
the bench put their heads together for
ten or fifteen minutes in earnest con-
sultation. Finally Judge LOngenecker
directed the prisoner 10 stand up for
sentence. He said that in his opinion
she had been properly convicted; that the
act of assembly permitted the court To
impose fine of not exceeding 500 and
one year imprisonment, or both, at the
discretion of the court. His honor in
timated that he favored imposing a SEN
tence embracing period in the county
Jail, but said that majority of the Court
had decided that the prisoner be sentenc-
ed to ''pay fine of S20o. the costs of
prosecution and be in custody until the
sentence : complied with
The HERALD has no disposition to
cyiticisc the action of the Court, bul in
this ease it is necessary 10 do 50 in behalf
ofplblic morals. The sentence, inter
preted correctly, is virtually this: That
the prisoner upon payment Of fine is at
liberty to return TO the home of her ac-
complice IN crime and Immediately
resume her former unlawful relations.
= fine example, forsooth, 10 set before
the youth of the intelligent and Christian
people OF this fair county.
The conduct Of Associate Judge Horner
Is especially reprehensibie from the fact
that he occupies the dual position Of
School Director and Associate Judge.
Acting in the former capacity, it is his
duty t0 look after the moral welfare of
the children Of his district. How can he
reconcile his action in this case with that
of guardian of the youth of Somerset
school district?
\ few years ago, when prisoner from
one of the southern townships was called
to the bar for sentence for a similar crime,
he was sent 10 the county jail for a period
Of nine months.
Judge Horuer was. ten days ago, re
nominated for the Office OF school director
in this borough. Many people think he
should resign from tho bench or with
draw from the ticket.
The people of Somerset county believe
in the s;.ncity Of their homes and in =
pure Judiciary.
