scheme, too, as it induces boards
of trade and other commercial
bodies of towns having harbors in
need of improvement to stir them
selves in property entertaining the
inspectors and their wives, thus
making sure that the junkeiers will
not have to spend their own
money. 1t is not within the bounds
Of probability that any one of these
junketers will acquire any informa-
ton about the harbors that he
personally inspects-from the deck
of steamboat or the window OF a
hotel-that could not have been
acquired just as well, and from the
same parties, in the committee
room at Washington, but personal
inspection" furnishes the excuse
for the junket.

MARY CATHARINE BEATTY
Writes up Her Side OF the Case.

AMBLERsBURG, w. VA, May ;.
Mr.. EDITOR
Dear Sir: - Please publish the
following: Mrs. Mary Catharine
Beatty forced TO protect herself,
which she is going to do by amuni-
ton prepared BY John Wesley
Beatty, the murderer, in years past,
such as will hereafter be explained.
1t has been published that had
coaxed, plead, begged and would
not give Yves any peace until he
went and killed my brother, David
A. Nine; Also that had signed
the petition to hang Yves. These
reports are all false. Dave paid
Yves his price for the timber. Dave
was an honest, upright, prosperous
man from his own labor and did
not make his living by stealing from
his neighbors as has been reported
by some of the papers. Dave was
an able man and Christian. He
paid his preacher SI1.oo just a day
or two before he was killed so it
does not appear to me that he was
much of a hog. Yves told me that
Dave often wanted to paw him
more for his blacksmithing than
what he charged him. Dave was
the first one to do for Yves in sick
ness and accommodated him at all
times. The reputation of Yves
published is so good and long bear
ing with everybody. This is not
all so either. Yves once before
reached for gun to kill J.. H..
Golf and the party would not give
1t to him then he threw his black
smith hammer striking him in the
back. The night before he killed
brother Dave he was in and out of
bed and did not sleep any and kept
me awake. l knew that he was
very angry about something.
was afraid to speak to him knowing
his awful temper and mean DISPOSE
ton. About sixteen years ago he
got mad at me and hit me two ticks
with his fist and knocked me in the
wood-box. Then / said would
not live with him. He got his gun
down and ! supposed he was going
to kill me so to save my life as /
though ] said would live with him.
lie then laid tho gun Up saying to
me "sec that you do" The second
daughter VERY smalD then put her
arms around me saying "did old
Yves hurt your did old Yves hurt
your"
These are few facts among
many and can be proven. This is
why ! cannot help him any. did
not expect 70 ever tell these facts
but since there is so much false
report against me J must defend my
character a little.
Respectfully
MRS. MARY CATHARINE BEATTY.

liam Allen, Thomas Walker, Walter
Coles, John Franklin, William Lee.
William Fields and John Norris.
All of them except Allen were found
at various shanties in the vicinity
of the works. None of them made
any attempt to elude the officers,
who rounded them up after five or
six miles of walking. Allen was
found at Brownfeld in the home OF
German by the name of Joe Her
man. When the officers went TO
the house they found all the doors
locked. Mrs. Herman readily adj
mitted them. When asked il there
was anybody in the house, she re.
piled that colored man was
asleep up stairs. She went up and
unlocked the door. The officers
entered and found Allen in bed,
recovering from the effects of his
drunken carousal. He made no
attempt at resistance. Beneath his
pillow was found the revolver, a s8
caliber of the Smith & Wesson
make that will furnish damaging
evidence against him. His arrest
completed the roundup, and then
they were put on the train and
brought to the county jail.
Probably no crime that has been
committed within the limits of the
county for many days savors so
strongly of brutality. The actions
of the drunken mob, when the as
sault was first begun, the ravishing
OF young Mrs. McMillen at tbs
point of revolver, death being the
alternative, and the final fatal shoot
ing of her husband, go to make up
a crime that in many localities
would have meant quick punish.
ment of the criminals, not as pro-
vided by law, but by an Infatuated
mob. Allen is said to be a bad
man, and this will not be his first
offense wherein he was charged
with murder. Walker is said to be
wanted in Indiana for some serious
offense.
When it was found that McMil-
len was going to die, the officers
took his statement, which was as
follows:
"My name is III. M. McMillen.
am from Preston county, West
Virginia. | came to Wynne works
last Wednesday with my wife. Fri
day night William Allen, a colored
man, with some other colored men,
came to my house or shanty, and
with a revolver in his hand, forced
my wife out. The other men held
me in the shanty, with a gun. At
ter some time my wife came in, and
Allen came in also. He wanted to
force my wife out again, and as
protested and interfered he pushed
me away from him and shot me. |
make this as my dying statement,
and wish the same to be used against
these men at the time of their trial
II. M. McMILLEN.
(x) his mark.
The remains of the murdered man
were taken to Uniontown. They
were claimed by his brother, Owen
McMillen, who went down there to
see about him.

A SYLVAN SUBJECT.

The trees around here are all leav-
ing now. They have had their
trunks ready for some time, but have
been waiting for their spring attire
before limbering up and branching
out. Some of these wood-be sum-
mer beauties are blooming and bios
soming forth in gaudy colors that
add much to their appearance.
Some of them are regular peaches, I"
while others will make "apple dunn
pings" and some of these "buds"
will undoubtedly make "Roman
Beauties" and others cause "Lady
Bushes" In spite of the late sea
son some will make early Harvest"
and "July Sweet" We hope no
scab is barking at these summer
beauties. Nobody but lockwood
do IT, or some locust. Anyhow, it
is not poplar, but may be a
"chestnut."
Some trees will pine away off on
the mountain side, but their memory
will be evergreen. Others will battle
in the shade of the beech, and no
doubt many pears will be made,
which will add limbs and olive
branches to the family tree. We
hope yew will not think that we
lilac thunder when you read this,
for while we are not an elder, they
call us deacon"
Well, we are about cup a tree"
and must come down in as graceful
and willowy manner as we can,

root of this matter, we are about
stumped and will have to peel off
and leave the subject.

Mr.. Montague White, Boer agent
in the United States, has been in
Washington for some days. While
he does not publicly admit that his
object was to sound the admins
tration to ascertain how it would
receive President Kruger, if he paid
the United States visit, there are
reasons to believe this to have been
his object. Mr.. White said that
Mr.. Kruger had strong desire to
visit America and intimated that
he might do SO next fall. English
influence is too great with the
administration for Mr.. Kruger to
hope for any more official 1ecogni-
ton, if he comes, than was given
to his ENJOYS last year.

Will some one give us the quota
tons on wool this year1 We would
also like the names and addresses

Not specially for publication, but
as guarantee of good faith on the
part of the prosperity shouters, who
have been whooping up the Repub-
lican administration throughout the

fact of the matter is that the most
of the wool buyers who bought wool
last year for IS cents per pound
have their wool on hands yet and
won't need any more this year.
