Preachers Named The Central Pennsylvania Methodist conference closed its session at Williamsport with the reading of the appointments for the coming year: The conference Tuesday placed the Rev. C. V. Hartsell who holds a political appointment at Harrisburg on the supernumerary list. He fought his case hard, but the movement went through and he is now out of active ministry. The appointments in part follows: Altoona District: District Superintendent: Simpson B. Evans, Altoona Bakerton: William C. Bobbins Barnesboro: Joseph K. Knisley Blandburg: Walter H. Miller (supply) Glen Campbell: Steward H. Engler Glen Hope: Benjamin F. Hilbish Hastings: William C. Wallace Houtzdale: Jacob H. Diebel Patton: David D. Kauffman S. D. Livengood, Johnstown A pathetic echo of the sensational failure of the Farmers' bank at Meyersdale a few years ago is heard in the application of S. D. Livengood for admission to the Somerset county almshouse. In his 78th year, the former banker, having tasted fame, fortune and all the delirium of speculation's ups and downs and spurned by his relatives, who had lost their all in his bank, is compelled to ask to be allowed to spend his last days within the shelter of the poor house. The assignee of the Farmers' bank has paid creditors so far 17 percent on their claims, but Livengood has nothing. Identifies Brother's Assailant Nick Judich, on entering a barber shop in Franklin Monday, pointed to Nicholas Miller, who was in the place and shouted: "That's the fellow who shot my brother." Miller made a run for it, but was arrested and is being held in Central police station in Johnstown to await the outcome of the wound inflicted on John Judich in a brawl at Vintondale Sunday night. John Judich is in a serious condition at Memorial Hospital. Find No Trace of Lilly Murderer Lilly, March 25 Although a diligent search has been kept up since the shooting of Dominick Colona by Dominick Cammesa here Saturday evening, the officers have been able to secure no clue to his whereabouts. Cammesa carried his revolver at the time he made his escape and no doubt will put up a hard fight if brought to bay. He is described as weighing from 145 to 150 pounds, 5 feet, 7 inches in height, black hair, smooth face, complexion very dark and wore a blue cap, blue coat and light trousers. A number of Lilly people went to Altoona this afternoon and testified at the inquest, held there because the death of the victim occurred in Blair county. The jury returned a verdict charging Cammesa with the crime of murder. Colona's wife of less than a year is prostrated as a result of the murder and her illness may have a serious ending.
