KT7HiESX3 SLIGHTLY Only the pre rn-e of Sheriff Hartzetll at Garrett last TueMisty night prevented th commission of a third murder in that quiet little village. Th brutal killiug of Michael Carney and John Lx-nliart, both reputuable and popular citizens, infuriat ed the people of the entire coin unity.aud a mob nl fcurrnitiuled the building in which the murderer sou u'ut safety, calk-d loudly for his blood. When at last 11 ey ers was overpowered by the SheriiTa posse and led from the houwe, a freDzied man forced hie way the excited crowd, and, leveling a revolver at the bead of the murderer, pulled the trigger.

His aim was bad and the bullet tore only a flesh wound in the iutended victim's nca'p. Meyers dropped to the jrroutid between Constable Wiiliain Gilbert and Austin I'ritchStld, who had him in He was sppareuliy and the report flew through the crowd that he was dead, lie was carried to the Garrett Hotel here be was laidrni the front porch, aud Dr. Pollard wa punit.if ctd to cress Ins wouua. v. tile the phviciau engagetl in hUtchire the gash in Mryers' bend, men carrying and rilb-s begged the otiieers to let them empty Iho contents of their weapons into the murderer's prostrate Isjdy.

tlarir.ell was compelled to use force to drive a few of the angry and excited men back. lr. Pollard discovered that Meyers was shamming uncotl-sciousnt-s-t, and whe: this was oons- ii-xicil to the Shf riff the handcuffs were lei laced on Meyers' wrists tn.l be was conducted to ttie celixr, where be was closolr guarded until ho was wood, and fiom there brought to the county til. A crowd, variously estimated at from five to eight hundred men aud boys, many of them armed ith guns and re volvers, and declaring that they would shoot Meyers on tight, loitered around llio hA'pl until iljvlii'lit ar.it it re- r(fca the Sheriir lhac a ulob wd gathered on the road just outside of fr the avowed purpose of taking the prisoner from the officers of the law and lynching him. hanJy, too Kuerm made arrangements telegraph operator at the 1 station to nave a trcigut trsm step at the end of a siding some distance east of Garrett, and when it arrived he bad the prisoner at the appointed place, and placing him on the engino directed lue er.iiK-or to uiaKo nisi icrouu Garrett, which was done.

It was not known in G.trrctt that the prisoner bad lieeu removed to Sj.nerset until after te was safe in jad at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mtyers did not hive much to say al-out the killing Cai r.ey and Lnhau't, but admitted th.it ha id shot kill. After he was lodged in jail he said "I am sorry for what I have done, but it loo late now remedy it," The murderer is twt.tiiy-Qve years of Ego. lie is about 5 feci 10 inches LxU and is powerfully He wears a shoit sandy mustache. lls eyes are lare and clear.

II is entire fce leat es impression tht he is a man of great detoruiini-tion. He slowly, and since in bns guarded in all of his expressions. He is unmarried. Tee wound his head is and ive in no tr iib'e. the pris ouor was visited ly his bretber and sister, r.fter the interview iio I rohf down aad opt for a lor (r time.

He lawy.s J. Kooser and A Hol'oert to defend him, aud after consulting with bis attorneys on Thursday, be brightened up and has not since shown any signs of despondency. His father. Christian Meyers, visited him on Wednesday, but their interview was brief, and from the old nis.ii's subsequent conversation it is plain that be has not much sympathy for bis unfortunate son. I came to Somerset last Tuesday morning," said the old man, "for the purposcof bringingan action against Pete, who had taken the doors aud wiudow-sas cut of the house ia order to prevent mo from moving into it, but my attorney advised me not to do so, telling me I bad a perfect right to the property and was privileged to enjoy the use of it as long as I live.

The lawyer did not think Pete wt.uld make me any trouble, so I returned to Garrett, walking ths entire distance frcm Somerset. I reached home between three and four o'fhx-k and asked Michael Carney arxl Hudolph Baker if they would not help me to replace the and window sash in the house. They agreed to do so and I secured a pair of bings, and afterwards some nails at the store. We found the d.xirs and wiudows in the stable and carried them to the house. Pete came up alxiut this time and asked hat we were doing.

I told bim that I was fixing up the house; that it was mine as long as I wanted to occupy iL He said, 'we'll tee aliout aud walked away. He returned in about tifteeu minutes carrying a double barreled shotgun. Carney and I were standing at the gate when he came rp and pointed the gun at my b'east. I looked straight into his ryei and said, you wouldn't shoot your gray beaded old father, would you Carney started to walk away, but had only gone a few fest when Pete fired at him, ttie lo striking bim fair in the back. Carney dropped to the ground, and Baker ran away.

I dragged Carney into the road and some people came and helped carry him to the house. I remained in Garrett for some time after this, but later in the evening left town at the advice of friends, who were afraid Pete would shoot ir.e. Pete is twenty-die years old. He was always a rough bxy and has beaten me many limes. He didn't waut ine to bave the house, and declared that he would burn it down fore I should mote into iL He bad no quartet Carnty.

His name is Pet. although be wrote it S. P. Meyers." After sbooting Crney Meyer went to the residence of George July, a distance of so.ne three or four hundred yards, where he bad boarded since the death of bis mother. There is an unoccupied slab dwelling house on the Judy lot, end into this the murderer went, for the pur-ose, be says, of getting Jiis mining clothes which he kept in the building, preparatory to going work that night in the mines.

He was tip-stairs when Constable Xelson Lenbart and bis brother John entered to place him nnd arrest. The two men started up te ctairs, John in (he lead, aud bad gotten about balf-way lo the top when Meyers appeared, gun in band, and tired. Tie charge of thot struck John Lechart full in tb face below the right eye. He fell back-wards into the arms of bis brother, ho tied from the presence of the murderous madman, letting the dead body lie at the loot of the stairs in a pool of Mood. The new of the horrible double tragedy Hew like wildfire, and a crowd of angry citizens soon surrounded the building in which Meyers bail disappeared.

Most of those surrounding the bouse carried tuns and revolvers aud were prepared to sb4 the moment the murderer exposed bis body t't mate an effort to escape. Xone would venture to enter the building, and urgent n. (usages were ent to SheritT Hartr.ell to hurry to the scene and exert the nu-jesty of the law. SherifT accompanied by Ibrea or Hiur determined men, left at six o'clock, and aflera forced drive reached Garrett fcbortly after eight o'clock. Meanwhile darkness had set in and the crowd surrounding the Judy house, now increased to a mob of six or seven Litrdtetf frenzied men, bed ataited huge in order to cut off th escape of the murderer.

Miner' lamps were lighted and placed iu rows aJong the fences in the vicinity of the building and the streeLi about the nouse were as bright as midday. The first mote on the part of the Sheriff was to rt-oover the body of John Lenhart, which was done about o'clock. It was found where he bad fallen at the foot of the stairs. The body as removtd to Kennel's hotel aud prepared for burial. Leabarl face was almost unrecognizable.

HU lower jaw was torn and splmtere.1, and his eyebrows and lashes bad beeu burned away by powder. SheriffIIarlz.il called pon ey ers to surreuder, promising lo protect him from the vengeance of th mob, but Meyers was deaf to his appeals and promises, and it is perhaps well that he was, for the sight of bis face would bave been tbe signal for a volley of bullols that would bave ma. la a siete of bis body. Some one in the crowd suggested blowing up the house with dynamite, and sticks of that powerful explosive were secured. Oil was also brought to thesceue in response to a suggestion that the building be burned over the murderer's head.

A woman declared that she had seen Meyers creep from the building, in which Lenharl's dea I body lay, across the alky and into the cellar of the Judy home. Mr. Judy and her children bad ran from tiie building at the timet of tha shooting of aud demands were nude upon Judy that he go into the house and bring lha prisoner out. Threats were mads agaiust his life unless he complied. Judy went into the houso and called upon Meyers to surreuder without avail.

Sheriir Hart then decided to storm the buildiug, and selecting Frel Import, of Company Austin Critchfjeld, Wil liam Gilbert aud sevcfal other parties to go wiih him, entered ilia house. A careful search of all the rooms and the garret as made, and then the poss'i forco.1 its way into the cedar. I'-jpout h.t-1 fired bis revolver at intervals while the search was goiug on for the purpose of intimi dating the murderer, and when he git sight Of bim, lying upon bis stomach aud oucealed behind some barrels in a cor ner of the cellar, he fired again, and at the same tiaie sprang forward and grouped the barrel of the gun which Mevers was trying lo gat into position to shoot, Ii! pout wrenched the gun from his hands aud ordered bim to stand up, when Hartz ill placed haudculls on his wrists. News of the capture llew from mouth to mouth aud tbe excited mob on the outside of the bouse pressed forward calling for vengeance. Cries of "Shoot bim," 'Lynch the murderer," and "Burn bim," filled the air.

The Sheriff com manded the crowd to retire and declared that be would shoot the first man attempting to interfere with the otticersof the Jawitha crowd hooted bis declarations. Finally the Sheriff addressed the crowd, stating that two murders bad already taken place, that the murderer was under arrest and that be would be safely guard-ded until ihe law bad disposed of him that it was the Sheriff's duty to preserve tha peace, and that he meant to do so. Then a cordon ot ollicers surrounded the prisoner and beaded by the Sheriir started for the hotel. The prison-': ftce was blanched with fear and his body ed with apprehension as a passage way was forced through the crowd that was crying aloud for his Mood. He begged piWously to be saved from the frenzied mob.

Th ShirifTs poms ha I only proceeded a few yards from the house when tho attempt mentioned above was made on the prisoner's life. The bullet -at struck Meyers grazed tbe Sheriff's d. It was the signal for a fusilade of jiiets, all of which went wild. Not withstanding the generally credited re port that Meyers had been killed, and the foul murder of Carney and Len- hatl had been avenged, the cowd linger ed about the hotel until after daylight. While the scenes of bloodshed and dis order above described were being enacted on the streets of Garrett, the widow of Michael Carney sat in her humble dwell ing, watching tbe spark of lite still iu her husband's body grow fainter and fainter.

and finally pass entirely away. Then she gathered her three fatherless children about her and fpent the dreary hours of the long night praying for the forgiveness of the red-handed murderer who bad so cruully robbed her and her babes of their bread-winner. Tha Catholic priest, from Meyersdale, was at Caruey's bedstde and a lininistered extreme unction before he died, and afterwards sought to assuage the grief of the widow. In another bumble cottage was the gr it f-stricken widow of John Lenhart, holding her to year old child in her arms and weeping lor ner nusnano, whose dead and bleeding tiody had been carried to the hotel and was being prepared for burial before she was permitted to look upon the distorted features. She had the evening meal prepared for her husband and was waiting to greet him, when a messenger arrived to break the news of bis terrible death.

An lnque-st was held on the bodies of Campy aud Lenhart, Wednesday after noon, by Esquire It. H. Heflley, of Ber- in, and a jary composed of J. H. Judy, leorge Kennell, Samuel G.

Rector, Geo. W. li-jctor, L. A. Brant and A.

J. Lowry. A number of witnesses recited the story of the double homicide, and Dr. Pollard tated that death in cases was caused by gunshot wounds. The j.iry returned a verdict iu accordance the farts.

A largo body of poople assenibed in Garrett on Thursday morning to attend be funeral of Michael Carney. Tha Sir- vices at the bouse and grave were cm- ducted by the Catholic priest from Mey-ersdale, and intern. cut was made ia the Catholic cem tery at that place. Carney was thirtv-seven years of agrt, and fol- owed the occupation of uiiuing. He was hard working, intelligent man, a- was popular throughout the Meyersdale re gion.

John Leuhart's body was consigned to the grave at two o'clock on Thursday the funera. services being con ducted by U-vs. Young and Collins of Meyersdale. A large crowd followed the funeral cortege to the Garrett cem6tery where interment was mado.

He stoped down a id rais ed the head of his dead comrade in order to be sure of his identity and while iu a stooping position he was hit in the left leg bout four inches below the hip by a bullet.

He did not mind the pain and raised his gun for another shot when he was struck by two bullets. One lodged in the left forearm and the other cut a gash between the shoulder and elbow. With three wounds in hU l'mbs he was retirod from the action aud removed to the hos pital, where the surgeons cut the bullet out of his arm. but were unable to remove the one that lodged in his leg.

His regiment was among the first ordered to Tampa and from there to Cuba.

E. Blancet, charged with burglary and horse stealing, was disposed of in a very few minutes. It appeared that the defendant had purchased the horse from Peter Croyle, but had not paid for him at the time agreed upon. An amusing feat ere of the case occurred Monday morning when Blancet gave himself up to Sheriff Hartzell and asked to be confined until his case was disposed of. Blancet had given bail for his appearance and was under the impression that it expired when court convened.

The first case taker op at Tuesday morning's session was Commonwealth vs. Dr. l.r. S. Mussor, charged with burglary.

The evidence went to show that the doctor had taken a lot of mor phine, paregoric and other drugs from the office of Dr. H. C. McKinley at Meyers dale. Counsel for the defendant made a strong plea for acquittal on the ground that Musser is addicted to the nse of narcotic stimulants and when under their influence is irresponsible.

Tbe jury returned a verdict of "not guilty." The next case taken up was that of the Commonwealth vs Dr. J. A. Louther, of Scalp Level, charged with violation ot the liquor laws. A majority of the witnesses called swore that the defendant had never given them liquor except on prescription, while the one witness who testified that he hid secured liquor was flatly contradicted by other witnesses for the commonwealth.

Tbe President pressed the button an-I directed the steward to prepare a bath for his nephew, and to then inquire of his companions if they did not also desire to avail themselves of tbe opportunity to use a bath tub, somi thing they had not been privileged lo enjoy siuco they volunteered in tbe army. An hour later when tbe young soldiers appeared at tbe dinner table they looked very much refreshed. Drgggist Eeffley Engaged. Mr.

The reputation of tbe well-known specialists Drs. Sadler and Sigmann, 81M Penn Pittsburg, is too well established to need much comment. The thousands of deaf and blind people who bave been restored to bearing and sight by these mott eminent surgeons are by far the be recommendation of their merits.

To the long list of marvelous operations which have been performed in tbdr offices, a new one is added through the case of Mr. Massey, 107 Third Street, S. Pittsburg Pa. His right eye-bail was piercod by a piece of Steel in February last. Tbe wound healed after a protracted and painful period of recovery, but tbe vision was totally gone, which was partially due to a cataract which developed in the injured eye; partially also to inflammation of the tender inside structures covering the pupil with an impenetrable membrane.

Dr. Sigmann, to whom Mr. Massey entrusted bis cans performed a so-called Iridectomy (making an artificial pupil removed tbe cataract, and now, eight eeks after the operation, Mr. Massey is a happy man. He sees (with glasses) even small objects at a long distance and can read coarse print.

Indeed, a triumph of modern surgery. Want to See the Soldier Boys Parade. There is a widespread desire upon the part of the general pnblic to see the boys of Company I drill before they are mustered out of the service on October ISih. In the absence of the Captain of the Company, Second Lieutenant Hoblitzell has been consulted and he readily consented to bave the members of tbe Company go through tbe military movements ihey learned at Camp Thomas on that day providing nothing occurs to interfere with their doing so. It has been suggested that the funds in the hands ofthe commiUee appointed to receive the members of Company I upon their return home be expended in entertaining them before they are mustered out, and this will likely be done.

A Somerset Biy With Sampson's Fleet ft Santiago Was on Basra the Iowa. Tbe Herald has waited patiently ever fcince Admiral Sampson destroyed C'er era's fleet iu front of Santiago for tho name of the Somerset county '-jackie" who particlpaVed in that historic engage menL We kuw that he was there, because a Somerset lad has turned rjp at ev ery fight since war was declarod against Spaiu. Our pttleuee and runridonco woro rewarded on when William Mctzler, a petty ollicor on board the lows arrived in town and began to search for the friends of his boyhood. Mr. Mttz ler is a son cf Crus Metzler, who was killed in the battle of Gettysburg.

He waa born in Somerset in IsTri, and remov ed from here to ConnelUvllle with his mother, who has re-married. "I never wan as happy in my life," said Metzler, "as I was on Sunday morning. July 3.1, when I saw the smoke of the Spanish fleet as the ships came steaming out of Santiago harbor. You would naturally think that tbe jackies on our ships would have felt some fear about tackling tbe formidable Spaulards but not a bit of it; it was the opportunity we had been waiting for for weeks ftn we went into tbe fight with as much pleasure as we usually go on shore-leave. My duties kept me confined uelow decks as I have charge of the firemen and coal-haudlers but I occasionally got a peep above, and from the noise tbe guns made knew that everything was goiug right.

The excitement below decks is as great as elsewhere on board ship when an enrgement is go iug on. Well, you know Captain "Bob" Evans nd I wouldn't like to serve under a finer officer, had bis heart set on blow ing up tho Yizcaya, and we paid particular attention to her, as all the world now knows Executive Otlicer Rogers said to the Captain after we had been plugging away at her for some time, 'Captain, she's hauling down her colors. 'Are you sure of asked Captain Bob. Lieutenant Rodgers hesitated, when Captain Bob you know he is a rough talker coui- tnanded, his words fairly hissing between his clonched teeth, 'Let go both 12 inch forward They didn't do a thing but let them both go at once, and I thought the old Iowa was torn in two. Well, sir, both shots struck the Vizcaya'a bow and tore a hole in her side that caus ed Captain Eulate to strike his colors im mediately.

Those two shots killed sixty- two men, exploded a shell in one of the Vizeaya's guns nnd made ber run for the beach. When tbe crow of the Vizcaya were brought on board the Io a as pris oners 'o clothed and fod them. They were starviug, poor devils I fed one Spanish sailor with a spoon, and saw him before be bad taken half a dozen mouths-full of food. There is nothing truer in the world than Captain "Bob's remark about our jackies 'fighting like American seamen and be ing as tender as American women after the fighting is I have been in the navy for six years. I went to the Iowa in June, lStC, and was detached on September at New York.

After enjoying a short vaca tion I'm going to re-enlist."

Reports are that tho squirrels hereabouts this yeir and in Wet Virginia near the state line are very scarce.

This is accounted for by a scarcity of nuts. The beech crop is light as is also the hickory nuL Farther down in West Virginia there are said to be a great number of squirrels this season.
