The Brady's Bend Murder.

Mrs Beulah Zillifro, aged about Is,
was shot down at the side of her father,
Sylvester Rohrmoser, postmaster OF
Brady's Bend about 9:30 o'clock last
Saturday night, and died about two
hours later.
Mr.. Rohrmoser, who is about 90
wears of age, is an old resident of Brady 8
Bend, where he carried on a blacksmith
shop, and when appointed postmaster
opened a store. His daughter, Mrs.
Zillifro, was with him in the store on
the night of the tragedy until about .
O'Clock when they left for home. The
father was carrying lighted lantern.
They passed through the front gate to
the rear of the house, and when they
were about 12 feet from small summer
kitchen attached to the rear of the house
and forming an IL, there was flash
in the darkness in front of them, and
Mrs. Zillifro, with a cry of mortal
agony, dropped to the walk. The
father saw a man running through the
darkness and gave chase, then rememb-
ering his daughters cry and her fall,
abandoned the pursuit but calling for
help and murder"
The cries brought number Of neigh
bors to the scene, and the men took up
the chase, but were unable to gain anv
trace of the assassin. The injured wo-
man was carried into the house, where
il was found that she had been wound
ed by shotgun, the entire charge OF
No shot apparently entering her alb
domen and stomach. In all there We're
90 perforations. The father received a
few stray pellets in the hand and arm
that were towards his daughter when
the shot was fired.
The search by the volunteer posse was
continued during the entire night and a
more systematic investigation was be
gun next morning 1t was recalled
that there had been trouble between
the Young wife and her husband and
that he had threatened her life The
Young couple are the parents of child
4 months old. The husband was in
tensely jealous at times and while drink
ing threatened his wife with bodily
harm. They made their home with the
father of Mrs Zillifro About two
weeks ago the troubles seemed to come
to climax when Zillifro attacked his
wife and was beating and choking her
when her father drove him from the
house and ordered him to never return.
Then it is alleged that Zillifro threaten
ed to kill his wife.
From Brady's Bend he went to Ford
City, where he secured employment in
a livery barn. On Saturday evening he
secured team at this barn and drove
away. No one has yet been found who
saw him on the road between Brady s
Bend and Ford City, but early Sunday
morning the buggy and team were
found tied at the rear Of the old Episco-
pal Stone church, which is not more
than 200 yards away from the Rohr-
moser residence. That afternoon the
owner of the livery barn arrived from
Ford City and identified the team as the
one hired by him to ZIllifro,
On Monday, Zillifro was found in bed
asleep, at the home of VIM. Templeton,
brother-in-law, whose home is a mile
from Brady's Bend. He acknowledged
his guilt, made no opposition to arrest
and was taken to the Kittanning Jail.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The War Department promoted s
old colonels to be Brigadier Generals,
last week. and then seven Of them were
put on the retired list by the age limit.
There are now on the retired list about
one hundred general officers. mostly
brigadiers, which reminds one Of
Lincoln's sorrow over the capture of a
thousand mules and two brigadiers. He
felt that he could get plenty of the
latter, but the loss Of mules was irrepar-
able. However, there is no tendency to
criticise the government for taking care
of its warriors. Rather there will be
regret that the provision for them was
not enacted so that all could be COM
fortably provided for in their declining
years.
The nomination and confirmation Of
George B. Cortelyou as Secretary Of the
Department of Commerce introduces to
the nation as a Cabinet minister one
who few years ago had no national
standing. Mr.. Cortelyou's record SO faI
has been wholly that of secretary to the
President. The skill which he has dis
played in that Office has commended
him both to the President and Senate al
member OF the Cabinet

March Is there will be 81 carriers in tn,

Rock, as it has been found that the

work to enable them to complete il il
the eight hours allowed them by law
for working day.

HARRISBURG.

To legalize gambling or pool selling
In Pennsylvania is believed to be the
real purpose behindthe bill introduced
by Senator John c. Grady, of Philadel-
phia. in the State Senate on February g.
The bill provides that common carrier
corporations chartered in other states,
shall have in Pennsylvania all the
rights, powers and privileges they exer-
else in the states in which they are in
corporated. except the power of emf
nent domain. 1t repeals also "all laws,
criminal. general or special, so far as
the same shall conflict with the provis-
ions of this act"
Pool selling was made crime in
Pennsylvania by the legislature Of 1895,
when fine not exceeding $500 and inn
prisonment of not more than one year,
or either or both, was fixed by an act
Ito punish pool selling, receiving or
transmitting bets or aiding in pool sell
ing or betting"
II Grady's bill becomes law the tel
egraph and express companies, which
are common carriers and amenable to
this bills provisions, and even certain
kinds Of pool selling companies, will be
authorized to receive and transmit the
bets and take an active part in the pool
business as their charters obtained in
states which do not forbid pool selling,
will allow them to do.

There is bill before the Legislature
that our members should Ego slow" on
that is the bill to expell the Osteopaths
from the state.
Osteopathy is something new and if
there is nothing in it it will soon die of
itself for lack Of support, but it should
be given fair play.
