He was a Christian gentleman and respected br all as being an honorable and just man "in all his dealings. He will be very much missed in this community, both in business and in his church, as he was a truly good man."

The officers of Palladium Lodge, I O.O.F., will be elected at the meeting on Monday evening next. THE Temperance Union, of this place, authorized a committee of eight "stalwart" men to publish'the names of the applicants for license to sell liquor, together with the names of those signing the petitions, and the notice appeared in two of onr last weolc. Whether this was done to coerce the court or to cast a stigma upon the signers ot the petitions and injure their business we know- neither do we care. Some of the signers to tho petitions are unduly exercised over the publication. We say unduly because the publication, with the motives apparent will do the committee and Temperance Union more harm than it will the signers.

If such publica'ion would be made in an official form, under direction of the court, no one could complain, but that a society bearing alolt the proud banner of, "With Charity for all and Malice Toward None," should take upon themselves the prerogative of punishing people who do not agiee with their extreme opinions, argues the weakness of their cause. The applicants for license are compelled to complv with the formsof law before their petitions are heard in court, which they have done; and their rights under the law are just as sacred as those of any of the signers of this "bulldozing" publication. The license petitions of such men as the three applicants- Messrs. Gompers, Kiefer and could be conscientiously signed by any one, for the certificate only requires the signer to sav that they are sober, decent, responsible "men, nnd that they have the necessary rooms to accommodate the public. The silly threat, made by ouo or more the signers were to be indicted for perjury, needs no special mention.

So far as we are pers'-nally signed the application of our old friend, Charles pass the publication bv with the contempt it deserves. We prefera wellregulated license sj-stem to the loose manner in wnicu tho business was conducted under the local option regime several years ago, and it needs no argument to prove that in this community, at least, there is loss drunkenness and rowdyism now than then. We believethat our landlords.asa class, are careful in the con'duct of their business, and that none wilfully violate the restrictions placed upon them by the law. The Lord save this conimunity from tho demoralization attending the "ram pasture" and "jug law" period of several years ago, when in almost every office, store and shop in town, the mysterious jngorbottle was hidden away, and when the sale of liquor and beer to parties of young men and boys, who drank the beverages in the alleys, on the commons, in the precincts of the law, at the very threshold of the night hideous," and brought reproacn upon the town. Drug store whiskey, dealt out under prescriptions from accommodating M.

and imported "rot of it not paid for until this by officers of the. law and conservators of the peace, was the bane and the curse of our community at that lime; and for our part, asa temperance man, wo would be consistent in opposing a return to the local option system. Some of the gentlemen win authorized this publication, are not without sin, but wo forbear to mention names. Their assumption that they "are holier than their neighbors" is a very hollow one and could be exploded in a few words. We only utter these words as a warning, not is a threat, for we do not care to place upon their shoulders the entire blame, as they are only acting as a "committee." We" are free to admit a majority of them are entirely honest and consistent in their views, and such will regret that they have allowed themselves to be used as tools.

There are others who should be honest and pay up their old scores before thay assume to dictate to their neighbors. This community, as we honestly believe, will make a mistake if they go back to theold "undergronnd" system practised in local option days. The efforts made and being made by the Temperance Union to reform the inebriates by suasion and kind treatment, meets with our approbation, and we aid in in the past to further their cause, but we do not believe that a return to the "Jujpfaw" wouM produce the best fgsutts.

Tho Allison family iii June -ast, in tho northern part of Washington Indiana county, near "Willet Postof- Jice, and about two miles) north of Five Points, on the Plumville road.

They own a large farm of some three hundred acres. The two brothers, Robert and Alexander Allison, and a married sister and resided on the land. Robert owned ono- lialfof the land, AJexander.fono-fourth, and the married sister, Mrs. Young, owned a fourth interest also. Robert bad trouble with his family years ago, and went to live brother Alexander.

whoso house is about one-fourth of a mile distant from Robert's. The wife nd son of the latter conducted his part of the farm in his absence. Some time last spring, acting, it is understood, by the advice of counsel, Robert Allison attempted to take possession of his residence aud the farm, but was resisted and severely beateu by his eldest son James G.Allison, the prisoner noiv on for murder; and finally ejected from the promises. Tho son was indicted for ap- assault and battery, aud a true bill was found at tho June term of the Indiana county court. The case was, however, settled before coming to trial, with the understanding that the matters in dispute between Robert Allison and his fnmilv should be submitted to arbitrators for final adjustment.

On Friday, the ISth dny of June, 1SSO, tho brother of Robert and Alexander loaded some bark, the ownership of which was one of the matters in dispute, on a wagon, intending to haul it to Indiana and dispose of it. On that evening, a little son of Alexander Young, who is married to a sister of the murdered man, having been on an errand to the house of Robert Allison, then occupied by Mrs. Allison, and James the son, was returning home, and James called him down into a field where had been working, and told the little fellow to tell Robart Allison that Alonzo, another son" of Robert's, wished to see him out at tho road at dark. Robert went down the road at dark, and, hearing some person whistling, called to know whether it was Alonzo. He was answered by James who said "No," coupling that answer with vile and abusive language, aud saying, "I will show you who it is." James then attacked his father, who retreated toward tho house.

James followed him, and on catching up within few yards distant, filed at him with a revolver, tho ball striking his father in the back of tho head. This shot was followed by others until four had been fired, the last three of which took effect iu the one in tho loft side passing upward and lodging iu the left shoulder, another near tho spine passing into the body, and the third in the right side passing obliquely through the body and coming out below the left breast. While the shooting was going on, John, the son of Alexander, cauie upon the scene. He heard the firing, heard his father call out, and saw James standing over tho prostrate form of tho old man, witli a pistol in his hand. James, or at all events the man that John saw, fled on his approach, and John procured assistance and conveyed tho wounded man to the house.

Physicians were called, iho wounds discovered to be dangerous, and the old man's ante mortem statement taken. Ho died on the third day after the shooting. The next day James G. Allison, the prisoner now on trial, was arrested, charged with the shooting. He was at the lime o) the arrest engaged in hoeing corn, where he had also been at work on the day of the tragedy aud had, when taken by the officers, a seven- shooter in the leg of one of his boots.

The warrant for his arrest was issued by- 'Squire Luckhart, of Plumvillo. He was brought to Indiana and taken before William Earl, Esq by whom he committed to prison. When arrested he denied having done the shooting. TjIE MURDERED MAN. Robert the murdered man, was about sixty years of age.

His fnihcr owned and resided for many years upon the farm where the crime was committed, and the property descended to Robert and his brothers and sisters from him, and was undivided. THE rWSOXEK. The prisoner, James G. Allison, is young man apparently about twenty- eight years of age. He has a very rough and uncultivated appearance.

He is rather tail, not very heavy built, and somewhat slovenly iu his dress. He was born and raised on the farm where the tragedy occurred, and so far as can bo learned he was industrious and had no bad habits, and was never in any trouble except this family trouble witli his father. lie is unmarried, and up to the time ol bis arrest lived with his mother and farmed the place. THE jujir. The court met on Monday, but the murder case was not reached until Tuesday.

The District Attorney, M. C. assisted by Gen. Harry White and Joseph M. Thompson, Esq.

on the part of the Commonwealth, and the risouer was represented by Hon. Silas I.Clark, Hon. Hannibal K. Sloan, and J. A.

C. Ruffner, Esq. A motion fora change of venue was made, on account of an alleged undue feeling agniust the prisoner. This was argued on Tuesday forenoon. Tho court did not absolutely refuse to grant the motion, but directed the Lrial to proceed, intimating that if the impanelling of the jury should show auy such feeling as was alleged to exist the motion might bo renewed.

It is now understood that this will not be done, and the case will proceed. At half-past 2 o'clock on Tuesday the impanelling of the jury was begun, and on Wednesday afternoon the jury was completed. Theinames of the jurryraen are as follows: John K. Myers, Center township James A. Blaqk, Saltsburg W.

the application was then overruled. Tho Dis- tijtt thf opened the case on thg partjjf the Commonwealth.

Toe cross examination was very close but developed nothing new. The next witness was Dr.

J. W. Morrow, who described his visits to the wounded man, the nature and character of the wounds, and the statements made to him by Robert Allison, that ho had gone to the bars to sen Alonzo, and that Ja'nes had met him theru and shot him. Lance Heasly corroborated the testimony of Smeltzer. Dr.

Robert Barr, under whoso direction tku post-inorleni examiuation was made, described the wounds and cause of death. Allison, the brother of tho prisoner, detailed his knowledge of the quarrels between his father and James, and corroborated the testimony of Smelizer as to the shooting. R. M. Orr, D.

S. Potts, and II. Trusal, near neighbors, were then sworn as to threats made by James and conversations with Ilnbert Allison after tho shooting occurred. ROBEIIT M. Youso, sworn am going on eleven years old; live with my parents; my mother died last summer; know where Alexander Allison and Robert Allison live; have been at Mr.

McClain On testified as to distances and localities in the neighborhood of tho scene of the murder. He heard the shooting and heard Robert Allison's voice calling to John to come to him, for he was shot, but testified to no other new facts.

Jacob Heasly, John Heasly, Mrs. Sarah Orr and Andrew Ross detailed their knowledge of the shooting, but nothing new was elicited. Miss Lizzie Allison, a sister of the prisoner and daughter of the murdered man, was then placed upon the staud. Her testimony was, in brief, as follows: Was not at home when the trouble of March 30th occurred at the time James was arrested for assault and battery I heard him say that he would not leave that be had kicked his fathor and would do it again didn't remember of hearing auy shooting on the night of Juno 18th; James was on the porch that evening; saw her father that night; heard voices np toward her uncle's; recognized her brother Jim's voice he said, "do to hell, j-ou damned old bugger you heard this and became scared, and supposed the shooting was done when she was coming down stairs, and she didn't bear it; hoard nothing more till she got on the porch, and then heard her father holler "Murder!

Numerous witnesses certified as to the peaceble character of the defendant, James G. Allison. The closed on Saturday evening, and the Court adjourned until Monday morning. On Monday the case was taken up, and Silas M. Clark.

made an eloquent, able and impressive speech for the defendant, consuming the time until noon. The effort was tc convince the jury that James Allison conic not have been there to do the shooting, or other words to move an alibi. The Commonwealth was ably represented, and Joseph M. Thompson, addressed jury very briefly but to the point. Judge Blair then laid down in a very clean concise and forcible manner the priciples of the law governing the case, and the jury retired.

THE VEKDICT. The jury went out at four o'clock on Monday evening, and during the night much inxiety was manifested to know what the verdict would be. But no word was received from the jury. Early on Tuesday morning, court called, it was noised about that he jury had agreed, and when the court called at 9 o'clock, the court room was packed by an eager and excited audience. Sherirl appeared with the prisoner and immediately after the Jury entered the box The prisoner did not appear at all disturbed had his usual unconcerned appearance.

Even when the terrible words, "guilty ol murder in the first degree," were uttered b) the foreman of the jury, he did not wince and seemed utterly callous as to the result When on the way from the Court House to he jail he looked about him, with as mucli apparent unconcern as the most uninterestcc spectator. The sentence has not yet been pronounced Allison's counsel may make an effort to iiavc the case reviewed by the Supreme Court, but there is no hope that the doomee man will escape the dread penalty whicl Ills crime deserves.

This good news to his numerous patients in this countv, as well as to.the army of afflicted and crippled sufferers who could not well visit him in Pittsburg.

Dr. Uartman's permanent office is at 307 Penn avenue, which will be left in charge of one of bis able assistant surgeons during his brief absence, and sojourn with us. In order to remind onr numerous readers of the doings of Dr. Hartuian, we will reproduce the following from the Pittsburg papers: "His operation for Strabismus (cross eyes) can be counted by the hundreds, and every one successful, and so wilh other operations. Few surgeons have aa many in a lifetime.

It is this wholesale surgery and practice that makes him so pre-eminently successful. The certificates and testimonials that be has the privilege of publishing of patients treated here would our paper for a whole week, but hundreds of them are the same as those already published in these columns. To convince the reader of Dr. Hartraan's claim upou us when sick, we need only recall the names of a few cases well known to us whom he rescued from the brink of of the grave. Mrs.

Jlllo fngram, daughter of Capt. Hugh McKelvey ot tli Is city, had been treated six years tor cancer by the most eminent physicians and surgeons, not only ot this city, Out ot New York and other cities. She had spent over one thousand dollars with great medical experts, and was told that she must die. Her body was literally covered with running sores and half detached masses ol flesh; nearly blind and deaf and barely living. Dr.

Uartoian was consulted, and declared la was no cancer, but scrofula, and proved it by curing her without the knife and without any painful external applications. Every sore is healed; she sees and hears perfectly, and is now ia every particular the very model ot good health, ahe now resides at 430 Rebecca street Allegheny City. Go and see her. Willie Curtis, 17 years of age, now working in H. P.

Porter Locomotive Works, in this city, had been afflicted with Chronic Rheumatism for one year.uuable to work.his joints much enlarged painfull and stiff. The bones of one side ol the face were enormously enlarged, giving him a most hideous appearance, Ills heart was diseased, with a ISO beats per minute, he was emanciated, pale and almost dying. Two eminent Pittsburg physicians assured his mother that his end was near. Dr. Hartman was consulted, aud immediately placed under his treatment, and in six weeks he was well and ever since he has been at work.

Go and see him, call on his mother, on his employer and on his pastor, and you will say the half has not beea told. ASOTKEB. The Pittsburgh Sunday Leader ol Octobers, tells ot a boy, the son of Mr. G. W.

Logue, of Redbank, who had been attacked, about a year ago, with vertical curvature of the spine, and In spite of the efforts of several physicians grew rapidly worse, and was soon powerless, and unable to walk from paralysis of the legs. He continued so eight months, and was considered by all physicians within their reach a most hopeless case. IJr. Hartman was consulted, who applied an apparatus to his back, rapidly straightening him and in exactly eight days he- commenced to walk. It is two months since Dr.

Hartmau took hold ef the case, and in that time the improvement in the little patient's condition has so great that from a deformed helpless being he Is becoming a bright active child, with a shape perfectly natural, and an equal chance of happiness and usefulness In after life with other children. The happy restoration of their child to health 13 the cause of mnch joy to the parents, who are deeply grateful to Dr. Hartman for his service, We think these references to cases, within the reach of every one to visit, are sufficient to convince all persons afflicted that Dr. Hartman stands at the head of his profession.
