 A report reached here this morning that a posse had captured Will Hill and had started here with him securely bound. Up to this hour they have not reached here. His dead body may be brought here to- morrow when some one cuts it down from the limb of a tree. It is almost certain that he has been lynched. His brother may meet worse fate than hanging The citizens are determined. A posse of men with boodhounds have been hunting him since yesterday.

journalistic.

The JOURNAL overlooked last week
the retirement of Prof. A. F. Smith
from the editorial staff of the Cleaner,
leaving the control of that department
in the hands of Henry f. Cook. With
no disparagement whatever of the pro-
fessor, it is apparent that Mr.. Cook Is
against any and all sorts of COMPETE
ton from across the hall. Indeed, the
issue of the 9th inst. , gave its competitor
several Jolts IN the Stats which brought
out unbecoming remarks concerning
Pete, the referee, and ugly personal
talk to the effect that somebody's lip
had been overturned. This sort of
thing betrays an imbecility which, if
it came from age might be excused.
However, the JOURNAL wishes the
Gleaner well in its mission of being
fair and truthful in all things" 1t
especially admires the accuracy of the
cleaners judgment in its department
of natural history that the true place
to hit snake is on the head.
G. 7. Goshorn, last predecessor of
David Cronin, was installed as cashier
and office clerk of the Cumberland

Electric Road Movements,

A dispatch from Uniontown, dated
the 9th inst, says
The Uniontown electric railway to-day
passed into the hands of the combine that
controls, or will evidentually control the
electric roads of Connellsvile, Scotdae, Mt.
Pleasant and Greensburg. The options on
all these lines expired to-day, and all the
roads were taken Ly the combine. The
Uniontown road costs the new owners SO, 900,
they taking up all the stock, amounting to
$4,000 and assuming the bonded indebted
ness of the company, amounting to So, 900.
The object of these purchases is to combine
all the electric roads in the coke region and
operate them from central point
Whether the enterprise to construct
a line from Uhiontown to Cumber-
land, reported here by Balous two
weeks ago, is connected with "the
combine" remains to be developed.
