McQUOWN [re-the SHIELDS homicide] List of Witnesses: GEORGE W. McCONAUGHY of Canoe MICHAEL HAY of Bell twp., Jeff co JOHN P. HENNEIGH THOMAS LONG WILLIAM STOOPS JAMES L.

McCONAHEY HUGH BRADY THE TRIAL OF YOUNG McQUOWN. We give up the larger part of the space in our paper to the report of the evidence in the Shields Homidice case. It will be seen that the case against the accused was fully made out, and the verdict rendered is just and consistent with the evidence. The sentence of the Court is that the accused JAMES R. McQUOWN be confined in the Western Penetentiary for a period of five years, pay a fine of $100 to the Commonwealth, and pay the cost of prosecution. ANOTHER HOMICIDE. On Thursday night of lats week, a simple young man named OHEGAN or MAHEGAN, some time since in the employ of MR. DETWILER, in this place, but latterly residing in Greensburg, Pa., was stabbed in the abdomen and fatally wounded by another boy named WM. DRAM. The injured man lived until friday morning when he died. It appears from the statements that OHEGAN was made a "butt" of by a number of young men of the town, who took delight in annoying him until he lost his temper and became violent. Several days before he had been provoked, and threatened vengeance against his tormentors. On Thursday night, meeting some of the young men who had accused him playfully of some offense or other, he said he was going to whip them, and struck at young DRAM and one or two others. DRAM defended himself with a pocket knife, and inflicted a wound upon OHEGAN which proved fatal as stated. The accused alleged that he acted in self-defense and gave himself up to the authorities. A letter written to the Pittsburgh Commercial, under date, Greensburgh, June 26th, speaking of the tragic death of young OHEGAN, says: "He is said to have been a little simple, and some of the "young bloods" of our town have been in the habit of teasing him. It is said the young DRAM--a boy of 28 or 19 years of age--and young MR. COWAN had a little difference with OHEGAM [SIC] last Monday night, and some ill feeling sprang up at that time between young DRAM and OHEGAN. Last night they met in Mitchell's bar room--the old quarrel was resumed and before it ended the stabbing was done. MR. DRAM is a young man of respectable family, has been religiously raised, and would have made a bright and useful man had he not fallen into bad company, and, as a consequence, contracted some destructive habits. The time has come for the people to see that the laws in relation to selling liquor to minors and habitual drunkards are executed. Sober and temperate people must, for the protection of themselves and families, insist upon the enforcement of the laws. Everybody in this community sympathizes with the DRAM family in their affliction. 24 July 1868 [no other issues on film between 1 July and this issue] ARM BROKEN. --On last Thursday evening an infant daughter of MR. JOHN McGAUGHEY, of this place, received a fall by which it sustained a fracture of the arm. MRS. McGAUGHEY had gone with the child, on a visit to her father's, in the country, and while there the child was jostled by a dog, causing it to fall, with the effects stated. COMMITTED. On Monday evening, GEORGE McDERMOTT, son of MARSHALL McDERMOTT, of Rayne township, was committed to jail upon a charge of Rape, perpetrated upon the person of a MISS TRIECE, of Green township. It is alleged that he assaulted the young woman on Thursday evening, last, in the manner stated, our in the fields, where she had gone to bring home the cows. THE AUTOMATIC CLOTHES BOILER AND WASHER. This is at once one the most simple, ingenius [sic] and useful inventions of the age. It does of itself nearly the enture work of washing clothes. Full instructions for operating accompany each Boiler and Washer. Aside from the great saving of labor effected, it also prevents a considerable share of wear and tear of the fabrics. We ahve had it tried, and are satisfied that if rightly used it will perform its work well. This invention can be seen at Sutton and Lloyd's Store, Indiana. SHOT HIS FINGER OFF. MR. GEORGE LEVIS [SIC], an employee in this office, on Monday morning, visited the Messenger office, and, while there, picked up a pistol--the property of a lad named ALEXANDER--which was lying upon the table, for the purpose of examining it. MR. LEVIS informs us that he inquired whehter the weapon was loaded, and was anwered negatively; whereupon he uncautiously took it up, and handled it carelessly; and being a self-cocking firearm, he inadvertantly pulled the trigger--when, to his dismay, the piece was discharged, the ball passing through the third finger of the left hand, near the upper joint, shattering it, and rendering amputation necessary. DRS. BARR and ROW removed the lacerated finger, and the wound is on a fair way to get well. ANOTHER OUTRAGE. On last Saturday evening, MR. JOSEPH BOGGS, of White township, came to town to attend to some business, and was detained until after night. About nine o'clock, he bestrode his horse, and was thus awaiting a neighbor to join him, when two young men--named SMITH and ALEXANDER assaulted him. SMITH first seized the horse by the bridle, and ordered MR. BOGGS to dismount; but instead of doing this, MR. BOGGS struck off his assailant, when the latter relieved himself of a volume of abuse. Several gentlemen, by this time, came up, and young ALEXANDER then evinced his manliness (!) by presenting a pistol and threatening to shoot somebody. But he didn't shoot. If matters continue in this way a while, our town will acquire a fine reputation. We submit that the law must take hold of these villanies, and that there shall not be any child's play in the matter. "Let justice be done though the heavens should fall." A ROW ON EMIGRANT TRAIN. On Saturday evening last a row occurred on the Emigrant Train, west. Conductor BENJAMIN NEEOER, which might have oresulted seriously, and that it did not was not the fault of the participants. A party of roughs from Indiana, who had been at Johnstown to a Base Ball match, got upon the train named at the latter place. They were under the influence of liquor, and were, in consequence, quite noisy. At Ninevah Station, one of them stole a hat from a boy's head, and other disgraceful acts were committed. Near the Blairsville Intersection, they got into a difficulty with the conductor, the latter having made an attempt to quiet them. At the Intersection, when the train stopped, the Conductor was struck in the fat with a bat, and when the train was starting the rowdies threw stones at it, breaking windows and endangering passengers. Yesterday two young men from Blairsville, named LYNCH and LEACH, came to town on one of the trains, and were arrested. CONDUCTOR NEEPER was not entirely positive as to their being of the party, and they were allowed to depart. It was thought that LEACH, who was a dapper little fellow, was one who had been throwing stones. LYNCH, who is a large man, was quite talkative, while the other was reserved; the former strenuously denied having had anything to do with the affair, but for the fact that he gave the names of a number, it is presumed he was present.... ARM BROKEN. We are informed that MRS. MARSHALL wife of DR. MARSHALL, of Marion, fell from a cherry tree, yesterday, and fractured one of her arms. BUILDING. MR. G.W. BODENHAMER, of this place, has began [sic] the erection of a large business-house, adjoining MR. W.B. HILDEBRAND'S drug store. --The building is to be of brick and three stories high. AN INDISCREET CALF, AND THE END IT CAME TO. A calf, the property of MR. G.S. CHRISTY, of this place, on Friday last, broke out of the stable, and for a time frisked and played about the lot; but it miscalculated the state of the weather, --and didn't appreciate that the thermometer indicated the mercury at about 115 degrees, in the sun, --and its indiscretion induced, it is thought, a coup de soliel (sun-stroke,) which caused death in a very short time. MARRIED. --On the 2d of July, by F.C. Weaver, Esq., MR. ANDREW HOOVER to MISS MARGARET KELLAR, all of this county. A "greenback" accompanied the above notice. We hereby tender to the happy pair our best wishes for their future prosperity. May their days be many and happy. --In Saltsburg, on the 16th inst., by William McClaran, Esq., MR. JAMES HALL, to MISS ANDERSON, daughter of JOSEPH ANDERSON, both of Saltsburg, Pa. 29 July 1868 A SAD CALAMITY. On last Thursday night, about 12 o'clock, the house of MRS. HUEY, widow of SAMUEL HUEY, deceased, of Montgomery township, this county, was totally destroyed by fire, with all its contents. The most distressing part however, is, that a son of MRS. HUEY, a lad of some ten years, was consumed by the glames. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is supposed that a match which had been used to light a candle a few hours previous, was accidentally thrown among some ignitable material in the house. When the family were [sic] awakened the fire had gained considerable headway, and the efforts of MRS. HUEY and her other children were directed to saving the small children of the family, --but one of the lads familed to get out, and met a sad fate in the flames. --We also learn that another of MRS. HUEY'S sons, in endeavoring to rescue his perishing brother, was so seriously injured both by external burns and by inhaling the heated air, as to endanger his life. --Subscriptions have been taken in money, stores, and building materials, in aid of MRS. HUEY, who aside from her family bereavement and affliction, lost all her household property and clothing, as well as her house. THE "ROW ON AN EMIGRANT TRAIN." --In our last week's issue we referred to a difficulty which had occurred between the Moniter Base Ball club and some Railroad men, on the previous Saturday evening. Since then, CONDUCTOR NEEPER, has brought action against the Indiana party, upon a charge of Assault and Battery. Among the persons arrested are three Lawyers, one editor, a constable, a type, a lumber dealer, besides those of other occupantions. The following are the names of the persons arrested. JOHN WEIR, ROBERT SUTTON, HENDERSON O. HOWARD, WILLIAM McCLAIN, JAMES STEWART, JAMES WEIR, FRANK SMITH, ED. STEWART, A.C. BOYLE, DAVID CARTER, JOHN KIMMEL, J.B. SANSOM, WILLIAM RITCHEY and T. ELDER RALSTON. The arrests were made by OFFICER LONG of Greensburgh, who took the parties before ESQUIRE McCLARAN, when they were bound over for a preliminary hearing, which will take place on Thursday, Augusy 6th, at two o'clock, p.m. The preliminary investigation will develop who, if any, of the accused were implicated in the disturbance solely by efforts to suppress disorder. The trial of the case is under the jurisdiction of the Westmoreland County Court. MR. JOHN NAGLE (DUTCH JOHN) has a half-dozen superior new spring wagons, one and two horse, which he offers to sell at very low prices. Call and see. MARRIED. --On Thursday, July 30th, by Rev. John Caruthers, at his own house, MR.

CHARLES McCOMBS, aged 83 years. --On the 28th inst., of Typhoid Fever, MALISSA in her 17th year; on the 30th, same fever, IDA, in the 13th year of her age--daughters, and the only grown children of JOHN AND MARY ALCORN, of Bell township, Westmoreland County. Deeply stricken Parents mourn their sudden demise. Verily the ways of an All-wise Providence are sometimes dark and mysterious. --On the 1st inst., in Conemaugh township, this County, of Consumption, LIZZIE, wife of THOMAS GARRIS. She leaves five children. --On the 2d inst., in Satlsburg, after a very protracted illness, of disease of the Lungs, MRS.

ELDER, ESQ., of Clarksburg, in the 58th year of his age. He was a member of the Presbyterian Chruch; also at the time of his death, Superintendent of the Sabbath School at Clarksburg. Mr. E. had gone the Monday previous to MR. McNIEL's to harvest--started home the 18th, riding a young horse, (not vicious) had to get off 80 rods from the house to open a gate in a lane, and in getting on again, the horse took fright from a carpet-ssack attached to the off side of the saddle. The horse squatted, which threw MR. E. back-- his left foot fastened in the stirup [sic]; the horse dragging him slowly a short a [sic] distance. MR. E. said he was not hurt and walked back to his daughter's. About 10 a.m. got sick, fell into heavy sleep, slepy on till next evening 7 o'clock and expired of Apoplexy and Paralysis combined. --On the 23d inst., at her residence in Conemaugh township, Indiana county, of fever, MRS.

SARAH BELL, in the 72d year of her age. 12 August 1868 THE OLD COURT HOUSE. The work of tearing down the old Indiana Court House began on Tuesday. On Saturday last, MR. TIFFANY, photographer, took a picture of the old building, in order to preserve some momento of the doomed edifice. By an Act of Assembly, approved the 16th day of March, 1806, the Commissioners of Indiana County were authorized to erect or "cause to be erected as soon as they deem expedient, a court house, prison and other public buildings," etc. They were also empowered to procure a "courthouse, in, or as near the town of Indiana as convenience will admit," for the building of the Courts, etc. The first Court was held in December 1806, in a log house on the lot now occupied by MESSRS. SUTTON, WILSON and Company's store. HON. JOHN YOUNG, of Greensburg, was the President, and HON. JAMES SMITH and HON. CHARLES CAMPBELL, of Indiana county were the ASsociate Judges. The present Court House was erected in 1808 and finished in 1809. JOHN McANULTY made the brick--JOHN MATHEWS did the stone and brick work--JOHN HUEY and JOHN ROSS were the carpenters--CONRAD RICE, who still resides here, hauled lime and sand for the use of the masons, Public offices, adjoining the Court House, were erected in 1809-1810, by JOHN C. WILLIAMS. In 1852 these offices were pulled down, and the present ones put up in their stead, by DAVID SIMMONS. For want of a more convenient and commodious building, the Commissioners, during several years after the organization of the county, kept their office in the second story of RICE's spring house, about half a mile south of town. From the review of facts, it will be seen that the Court House has stook just sixty years. There is no record, we believe, of the cost of the building--the funds for its erection having accrued from the sale of lots granted to the county by GEORGE CLYMER. At the time the building was erected, there were only some 875 taxables in this county--now we have upwards of eight thousand. MRS. JANE SUTTON, of this place, while getting off the car at Blairsville, on Thursday last, was severely injured by a fall. She returned home the same day. On Friday last, T.D. DAVIS of Blarisville, killed a rattlesnake, which measured nearly four feet in length, and had nine rattles. The house of MR. SAMUEL BRACKEN, of White township, was entered a few evenings since, during a brief absence of the family, and a small amount of money stolen therefrom. PARDONED. JAMES R. McQUOWN, convicted at June Term of Indiana county court and sentenced five years to the Penitentiary for the murder of GEORGE SHIELDS, has been pardoned by Gov. Heary. He arrived here on Wednesday last, and left for his home on Thursday morning. MARRIED. --On July 30th, at the "Continental House," in this place, by Rev. J.B. Uber, SAMUEL R. LUCAS, of this county, to MISS SADIE M. HARRIS, of Westmoreland county. DIED. --On July 31, of Spinal disease, EDEN ELMER, son of J.H. AND MARY JAMISON, of Smicksburg, aged 7 years. --On July 29, of Scrofula, at the residence of her father, in South Mahoning township, ELIZABETH D., daughter of JONATHAN AND MARY J. NEFF, aged 27 years 6 months, and 9 days. The deceased was, at the time of her death, a member of the Mahoning Baptist Church. We mourn not as those having no hope, believing our loss to be her infinite gain. -J.N. 19 August 1868 ACCIDENT. MR. HENRY GOLDEN, of Cherryhill township, was seriously injured, a few days since while in the act of drawing a hay fork from the mow, it fell upon him, prostrating him on the barn floor, and inflicting serious injury. TURNIPS. We are indebted to MR. JOHN ISENBERG, of White township, for some large and excellent turnips, which he left at our office a day or two ago. --They were raised on GENERAL WHITE'S farm, adjoining this place. UNDER BONDS. JAMES FORD, JOHN WHISSEL, FRANK SIMMONS, and CHRISTOPHER HARWICK, on oath of PETER DAVIS (colored,) were, a few days since, put under bonds to the sum of $100 each, for their appearance before the ensuing Court of Quarter Sessions, to answer a charge of "assault and battery on the said deponent, by striking him on the head with their fists and a club or 'hardy-billy,' and otherwise abusing him." A CASE OF CHOLERA. On Friday evening last, one of our citizens was attacked by Cholera, a disease which heretofore has seldom made its appearance inland. This is the more remarkable from the fact that as yet there has been nothing like an extended epidemic of the disease anywhere within the limits of the United States during the present year. The case mentioned, under the care of DR. H. ROW, has entered upon a flattering convalescence. It may be well enough to state that Cholera is not a contageous but an infectious disease, propogated by a subtile [sic] atmospheric poison, of the exact nature of which, as yet, but little is known. THE OLD COURT HOUSE MR. WILLIAM CAMPBELL writes us, from Marion, some additional facts respecting the old Court House. He says that the lumber and carpenter work cost about #3,700. When the house was finished, HUEY and ROSS called two men from Pittsburgh, who measured the work, and found the cost, by the current bill of prices, to be as stated. At that time, Brick were [sic] sold at from $4 to $5 per thousand; Boards cost $5 per 1000feet; Timber was pruchased at 25 cents a tree, on the ground; Joint shingles were bought at $1,50 to $2 per one thousands, and the best workmen labored for $13 per month. MR. CAMPBELL was working with MR. ROSS at the time, as a Carpenter's apprentice; and he is, probably, the only survivor of those who did t ehwood-working of the building. --He is now about 72 years old. MARRIED. --August 15th, 1868, at the residence of the bride's parents, by Rev. J.B. Uber, MR. ALPHEUS B. CLARK, of Cherrytree, to MISS M. LeRUE THOMPSON, daughter of J.G. THOMPSON, ESQ., of Indiana, Pa. --By the Rev. J.H. Kirkpatrick, MR. DAVID DICK, of Cherryhill township, to MISS AMANDA GRUMBLING, of Brushvalley. DIED. --Augusy 13th, of Inflammation of the Brain, a son of W. AND J. HADDEN, of Cherryhill, aged about 11 years. 26 August 1868. BADLY INJURED. DAVID RALSTON, son of ROBERT RALSTON, of White township, this county, was seriouslyinjured, by a fall, on Friday last. He had gone upon the mow over the barn floor, to throw down some oak sheaves, for threshing. He missed his footing, and fell to the floor, about twelve feet, where he alighted upon his head and shoulders, doing him serious hurt. We are indebted to MR. AMOS THOMAS, of White township, for half a bushel of fine Apples, from which we return thanks. MARRIED. --On the 16th inst., by Rev. C.L. Streamer, MR. WILLIAM T. MIKESELL to MISS HANNAH BRICKER, both of South Mahoning township. 2 September 1868 DIED. On the 15th inst., at the residence of his father, ALEX. M'CONNELL, ESQ., MR. THOMAS W. M'CONNELL, in the 35th year of his age. The subject of this notice had resided in Washington City, 'till the Spring of 67, when he and his companion having both fallen victims to pulmonary consumption, removed to Penn'a, with the hope of being benefitted by a change of climate. In this, however, they were disappointed. His wife sank rapidly under the power of the disease, and passed away soon after their arrival; while he lingered on slowly yielding till the time mentioned above. During the protracted period of affliction, he was much concerned about his soul's affairs, and devoted his thoughts chiefly, to religion. He was at length enabled to anchor his hopes upon Christ; calmly reposing on the bosom of his Savious, and trusting in his merits he awaited, --with joyful anticipations of sweet rest in heaven--the coming of the messenger of death, and hailed his approach, feeling that he had lost his sting, and the grave its victory. An only daughter remains to mourn the early loss of both her parents. May she learn to say, with one of old, "When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." --On the 31st inst., of inflammation of the lungs, an infant son of JAMES KELLY, of Washington township, Indiana county. 16 September 1868 [this is the next issue on the film] [now the header reads "Indiana Register and American"] DIED. --On the 3d inst., MRS. MATILDA, wife of A.D. FERGUSON, of Blacklick township, aged about 40 years. --On the 1st inst., at Ebenezer, Pa., JAMES HENRY DONALDSON, child of J.M. AND ANNA M.

A young man named McCREARY, had one of his fingers cut off, a few days ago, while working at a circular saw in Suter and Leech's Plaining [sic] Mill, at this place. BITTEN BY A SNAKE. MRS. WOOLWEAVER, of White township, was bitten on the ankle last Saturday morning, by a large Copperhead Snake. The reptile inflicted several before the lady could get out of reach. She is now under the medical care of Dr. H. Row, and is recovering. ONLY A HALF SHEET. Owing to the failure in receiving our supply of paper in due time, we are compelled to issue only a half sheet this week. But by omitting nearly all our advertisements, we are enabled to give very nearly our usual amount of reading material, so that our readers will lose but little by the failure. MARRIED. --On the 11th inst., by Rev. C.L. Streamer, MR. A.P. PATTERSON, to MISS ANNIE M. STEAR, both of Smicksburg. 23 September 1868 BONE BROKEN. MR. WILLIAM WOOLWEAVER, on Saturday last, had his right collar bone broken, by his horse falling and throwing him violently among some stones. He was on his way home from town at the time, and was but barely able to get there after the receipt of the injury. DR. H. ROW reduced the fracture, and he is now doing well. MARRIED. --On the 9th inst., in Pittsburg, by the Rev. Hollard, MR. H.K. SLOAN, of this place, and MISS RETTIE F. CONNER, of Blairsville, Pa. Accompanying the above notice was a memorial to the printer, for which we tender the brave Captain our sincere thanks, hoping he may live a long life to enjoy the comforets and blessings of this world, in the company of his bride. --On August 26th, by Rev. W. Fulton, S.A. ALLISOF [SIC], to MRS. JENNIE WYNKOOP, daughter of A.L. M'CLUSKEY, ESQ., all of West Indiana, Pa. --On the 17th inst., at Minta, Indiana county, Pa., by Rev. F. Logan Sample, MR.

SAMUEL REED, of Derry township, Westmoreland, to MISS M.A. McLANE of White township, Indiana county, Pa. --On the 21st inst., at the residence of the bride's father, by the Rev. D.M. McClellan, MR. WILLIAM STANLEY, of Grant, to MISS RACHEL HAMILL, of Homer, Pa. DIED. --On September 22d, at his residence in Indiaan, MR. HENRY KINTER, aged 79 years and 7 months. The friends of the deceased are invited to attend his funeral to-morrow, Thursday, at 2 o'clock, p.m. He will be interred in Oakland Cemetery. MR. KINTER was one of our oldest citizens. He was the fifth sheriff of this county, and during his life time took considerable interest in public affairs. He has for a number of years suffered from a cancerous affection [sic], which was the immediate cause of his death. Thus, one by one, our old citizens are passing away from life, having fought a good fight, and finished their course upon the earth. 30 September 1868 NEW STORE. MR. THOMAS LOWMAN has opened a new store in West Indiana, adjoining the Baptist Church. MR. LOWMAN'S stock is entirely new, has been purchased on favorable terms, and will sell at reasonable prices. --The new establishment deserves a share of public patronage.
