Three or four applications for the position i f AsBociate Judge, made vacant by the death of Judge Pile, are circulating petitions. It is not probable that Governor rattlson w ill name Judge Tile's successor until after the a-ij wru meat of the present term of curt. Among those who are applicants for the appuiiittiieut are Henry HetUey, of Som erset borough, aad Peter S. Hay, of Eik Lick. Since the above was written a dispatch from Harrisburg announces the api'jiut ment of Mr Htffley. Judge Herlley is a native of Berlin, but for the past twenty years or more has been en gaged in business in Somerset. He is a gen tleman of the highest integrity, has an even ly poised mind, and will make an excellent judicial officer. He has always been an un compromising Democrat but has never taken an active part in politics, and his ap pointment will be acceptable to the people of the county utuil they have an opportunity to supplant him on the bench with a Re publican. Although ouly about forty five years of age, Judge Htffiey'a appointment is not a victory for the the "yoanr rvmocracy." A story with a moral Domes from Merers dale. It seems that a traveling optician, named Mahoney, who by the way was in Somerset a lew days ago and sttracted atten tion on the streets by bis fine personal ap pearance, visited that town. He bad gone into the bar attache! to one of Meyersdale's hotels for the purpose of quenching bis thirst with a glass of lager. Three well known railroad men of that vicinity were in the bar room al the time and one of them felt called upon to apply an approbrious ep ithet to the fine appearing stranger. Mr. Mahoney quaffed off bis beer and then qui etly walked up to the spokesman and in quired if be referred to him in the remark be had just made. Getting au affirmative answer he proceeded to plant bis fist against the bridge of the railroader's nose. It is re ported that Mahoney struck with such force that the railroader stuck fast to the wall. Mahoney then turned his attention to the fellow's two companions. One of them was laid out on tbetlxirby a second well direct ed blow from Mahoney s fist. The third es caped before Mahoney could reach him. Mahoney called after the Seeing figure, "if you have any friends send them on !'' Ma honey leisurely retired to his room and washed bis hands, while the faces of the two men who came in contact with his fist are said to he black as their hats. Hereafter they will likely think twice before they sak, at least before they speak to Mr. Ma honey. Criminal Court. The regular .term of criminal court com menced at 10 o'clock Monday morning. An hour or more was devoted to addresses eu logistic of the life and character of the late Judge Tile, after which, in resptct to the memory of tbe departed Judge, court ad journed till 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The afternoon session was occupied in calling over tLejury lists, taking the returns of Con stables and hearing motions by members of tbe bar. At Monday evening's session the petitions for retail liquor license were taken up and the entire ssseion and several hours of Tues day morning's session was occupied in bear ing arguments of counsel for and against tbe g-anting of different license. After hearing the arguments, Judge Longenecker announc ed that the Court would examine the papers in the rariou caes as speedily as possible aad would then give tbeir decision. Of the forty-six cases on the criminal cal endar all but two have been settled or con tinued. It is probable that Court will ad journ for tbe week Wednesday evening. The crowd in attendance Monday was extp tionally large. Normal School of Methods. A Normal School of Methods will be opened at Somerset for teachers about the 17th of July.

BIG ROLLS OF MONEY. Many Thousand Planked.Down to a Somerset Farmer, There was a lively time in this city thurs dsy," says tbe Johnstown ZTfmlJ, " when Edmund Hobcpple, of Bethel, concluded his deal with Messrs. Thomas and James for3.0 acers of coal lands near BetheL Mr. Holsopple was in the store of John T bora as, where all the parties in interest were gathered, and was just about ready to receive bis first payment ofI5,0:tf when Attorney Uuppel. of Somerset, and Mr. Cunningham entered. They ca'.Ied Mr. Holsopple to one side, when, with at few preliminaries. Mr. Rnppel astounded everybody present by unrolling a package almost as thick as a man's body, aad planking it down on the counter said, "There's your money." As the roll was un folded it was found that it contained nearly $40,000 in cash. Mr. Holsopple, however, refused to touch the money saying that be was under no con tract with them, remarking that if they bad offered it three weeks sooner he would have b en obl ged to take it and would have done sowiilingiy. X jw, be said, he was under no obligation to them and he deliberately wslked over to where the Messrs. Thomas were and took the $15.0t'0 offered Lim a part payment and in fulfillment of his later agreement with them. Both parlies to the deal have their story, bnt the facts seem to be about as follows: Some time ago Mr. Holsopple secured options on about 1.800 acres of land adjoining his own tract ol 1.17 JO acres, all of which be then tried to market. He found a probable purchaser in Mr. Cunningham, of the Berwind White Goal Company, who had agreed to take tbe Lands and pay for them, at least in part, by the third of February. W. H. Rupple, of Somerset, was engig'd as attorney by Mr. Cunningham. The money as not paid at the time men tioned and on Friday, Feb. 17, the Messrs. Thomas and James concluded an agreement to take the lands at a figure somewhat in advance of that offered by r. Cunningham. After Messrs. Ruppel and Cunningham learned that they were likely to lose tbe lands, they notified Mr. Holsopple that they would expect to hold him to bis bargain and went to the trouble at once to put their options on the records. As Mr. Holsopple had confidence that his deal with Messrs. Thomas and James would be consummated according to agreement, he refused to treat with the other party, and yesterday came to this city to receive his first payment Messrs. Cunningham and RappeL learning of his intentions, came down on the afternoon train with tbeir big roll of money, but failed to change tbe in tentioa of Mr. Hwlsopple aa noted. It looks very much now as if legal com plications would giow out of the deal, aa Mr. Ruppe! declares they will make a right. One point upon which they place much stress is that they paid money on tbe options, but Mr. Holsopple say this waa only abont $lo0,andwas ail accounted for, being for eipeusi incurred and gave no right for any extension. Boroutfh Election. Last Tuesday's election in this borough soured a victory for those voters who advo cate municipal ownership of water works. The contest was a vigorous one and party preferences did not enter into the fight. The feeling dispiaytd on the water question ex tended to all candidates on both Republican and Democratic tickets, aud it is safe to say that not exceeding thirty straight tickets were voted out of a total poll of 2o0 votes. The entire ticket nominated by the Repub licans was elected by majorities ranging from I V) to 5. The result of the ballots was awaited by several crowds, (of opposite political faith, both friendly to borough ownership of wa ter works) aud as soon as it was announced ihey paraded the streets of tbe town, bead ed by a prominent Democratic leader, and cheert d themselves hoarse over their victory. The questions which entered into the election were these : Shall the borough of Somerset undertake to construct a system of water works at tbe cost of the municipality, or shall they give a franchise of tbe streets and agree to pay fixed charges for fire pro tection to a private corporation T Borough authorities are confined by Act of Assembly to the expenditure of lim ited amounts (in the .case of Somerset to about $2'5.ooo).with which to accomplish such public improvement as water works. Not one of the engineers brought here for the purpose of making a survey of tbe pro posed source of supply has furnished au es timate within the reach of the borough's re sources. It was maintained on one side that the elevation of Somerset makes it problem atical as to whether or not it is not preclud ed from fire protection such as it is proposed to give it and from enjoying the luxury of a system of water works ; that borough own ership would impose heavy taxes upon those who could least afford to pay them, and the proposed works would not be economically managed. This wa the view taken by a large majority of the property owners of the borough, upon whom the debt must fall and whose property most be bonded as security for its payment. The opposition insisted thatboroogh own ership of water works meant progress; that the proposed works would not only be self sustaining but would prove a source of rev enue to the tax payers in the shape of reduc ed taxes and fire insurance. That interested parlies wished to secure a franchise in or der ,to squeeze shekels out of citizens. (How it was to be done unless they took wa ter was not explained ) This was the view tatten by a limited number of property holders, a msjority of the single men and tenants, and by certain politicians, who thought they saw an opportunity to punish a political or personal enemy at the expense of their convictions on this purely local and business question. The vote for councilmen was as follows: Thomas Jones, 175 ; John G. Sanner, 177 ; E. H. Werner, loo ; Valentine Hay, 122; Jacob I). Swank, 112; H. L. Baer, 129.

It is a general assignment, without reservation, for tbe equal benefit of bis creditors without reser vation. His liabilities In connection with the Walker failure foot np to $113,000. Gov. McKinley determined upon this course for tbe reason, among others, that be ieels cer tain that these trustees, who are gentlemen of experience and ability in business affairs, can realize more from his estate for his creditors than be himself possibly could, pressed as be is with public matters. Mrs. McKinley bas strenuously iosistei from tbe beginning upon tie voting ber prop erty, which came from her father and moth er, to tbe payment of the Governor's debts., This her friends and tbe friends of the g ov- ernor were determined she should not do. as tbe sacrilije of ber private estate U, in their judgment, not demanded by any con sideration. In order, however, to satisfy Mrs. McKin ley 's peniistent wish, a deed wn executed by her, conveying her property to trustees for the benefit of ber busbsnJ's creditors. This deed was placed in tbe hands of Hon. M. A. Hanna, of Columbus, to be dealt with ia bis discretion.

No matter whether the performance be good. bad or indifferent, the audience is always delighted and givis vent to its feelings by long and continued applause. . The entertainment given for the benefit of the Childrens' Aid Society, by a number cf th best known young ladies and gentlemen of Somerset, Wednesday evening, waa in striking contrast with the average exhibi tion by exclusively borne talent. Tbe per formance of each individual participant wat highly creditable and merited the liberal sp- piause accorded it. Every seat in the Opera House was occu pied long before tbe curtain was lifted, re vealing the sewing class a body of little girls being instructed in the art of needle work by members of the Society each member of the class wore a pretty pinafore made by ber own fingers. The children were grouped in the centre of the stage and presented a very pleasing picture. They made an effort to bow in unison and then beean piping a ditty about "stitching." After the sewing class had retired Miss Em ma Walter, one of Somerset's most gifted vocalists, rendered a " catchy" ballad. " On ly the Stars Could TelL" Miss Walter was in excellent voice on this occasion and sang with unusual brilliancy aad expression. She replied gracefully to an encore and re tired amidst the hearty applause of her delighted audience. A " broom drill," led by Miss Edna Baer and Miss 'Nellie Cunningham, and partici pated in by Misses Grace Pile, Susie Schrock, Darl Roberts, Nannie Sanner, Ella Vogel, Mame Patton, Nellie Troup, Bertha Crom well and Maud Cook, was the feature of the evening. Tbe young ladies were all gotten up in "fetching" gowns of pink and bine, and the grace of movement they exhibited in marching and executing the manual of arms was fair to look upon and called fourth the most flattering compUments. Miss Mame Chi followed with a song, "The Spanish Gipsy," rendered in ber usual artistic style. Miss I'bl's selection was a happy one, since it exhibited the compass of her remarkable voice and revealed much of its beauty and sweetness. This concluded tbe first half of tbe pro gram and tbe audience was given au oppor tunity to prepare for the amusement to fol low. The " Dark tow a Minstrels'' appeared upon the program for tbe second part of the entertainment, aad as many indefinite ru mors bad been set afloat in regard to tbe col lossal amusement they would create the la dies in the audience released their corset strings and tbe gentlemen unbuttoned their vests, in anticipation of the side-splitting mirth that was about to be let loose by tbe performers on the stage. Tbe hilarity was uncorked by several youths on the gallery who caught a glimpse of the blackened face of one of tbe performers before tbe curtain went up. When the curtain finally ascend ed to the music of a plantation chorus, tbe scene upon the stage rivaled an old-lime " down in Dixie" minstrel show. The per formers were seated in a semi circle, R. M. Linton and W. M. Robinson, bones and taiuborine, respectively, and A. L. G. Hay interlocutor. The faces of the troop pre sented an interesting study as they appeared smeared with burnt cork and enveloped in standing collars of prodigious height. Few persons in the audience were able to recog n.ze them, so great was the transformation. E. O. Kooser's classic countenance might readily have been mistaken for that of an African potentate, while C W. Walker's voice, gestures and expression- might have created the impression that be was Peter Jackson in disguise. R. E. Meyers needed only an obese bhieootum umbrella to have placed him as a " down south" camp-meeting expounder. Cravat, glasses and express ion were in prujer form. Willis Puel was one of "them ouffee-colored stuck up coons,'' and dressed his part admirably. Charley I'hl and Ed Love looked as though they en vied white folks tbeir complexion, and showed the whites of tbeir eyes after the manner of tbe music loving dwellers of the " cane-brakes." Frank Forney appeared to be so convulsed with laughter at tbe im pression tbe performers were making upon the audience that he was compelled to cov er bis blushes, (as though they would show under a coat of cork). C. E. Pile looked like a young "coon" at a barbecue, while R. M. Linton aud W. M. Robinson appeared as much at borne as if tbey had been following the " barn-storming" business all their I ves. A. L. G. Hsy's costume would have brought a bluch to the cheek of a sable Joseph. Hay was readily recognized. Ho has a voice given him for keejis by his parents, aad all efforts at disguising it were unavail ing. The display of brilliants on' the stage was blinding ; each artist reveled in an "arc light" on his shirt bosom. Tbe special features of part second were the duet of Robinson and Pile, topical songs by Linton, Walker, Hay and Pisel, musical selections by Love, Forney, l"bl and Meyer, aud clog dances by sjooser and Love. It is questionable whether the people of Somerset vr before enjoyed so excellent an entertainment at the hands of amutures. The receipts net ed over $!00. At the conclusion of the enter.ainm?nt all who had taken part and contributed tow ard its success were entertained at the home of Mrs. H. L. Baer. Slain by Bank Robbers. Three bank robbers are locked up in the jail at Kittanning charged with tbe murder of William Shaffer, at Leechborg, Armstrong county. About sevea o'clock Tuesday evening Shaffer waa along the street in front of the Leechburg bank. He noticed a suspicious looking man standing in front of it. He called a friend and they e'Mle around to the rear of the bank building. Here tbey saw two men endeavoring to force an entrance into the bank through a, window. The mac in front saw Shaffer and bis friend at this time and gave the alarm. Sharer and his companion raised an outcry. As they did so one of them, n jumped in front t-f Sbaffr-r, p'wed a revolver at his bead and Crtd. Shaffer fell to the ground dead. The rob bers started to escape. Oieof them was overtaken and itre-iuired the greatest bravery on tbe part of tbe officer wbo bad him in custody to keep the people wbo had collected by tbis time from lynching him. Tbe other two robbers were captured he following day. One of tliem, Dr. Wycoff, was a practicing physician io L?echburg, and it Is believed that be planned tbe robbery of tbe bank and was the man who stood guard ia front of tbe bank. It has since developed that Wycoff had entertained tbe other two robbers, if urt.hy and Spragne, at his home the night before the robbery playing peter. Tbe last named gectlemen are well known to the Pittsburgh police as professional gamblers. Musical College. The Spring Term opens May 1st , In vocal and instrumental Music. For catalcgues address Henry B. Moyer, Freeburg, Pa. Harvey Wakeley, on trial for murder, at Nashville, Tenn , was asked Friday afternoon if he bad killed tbe victim.

Thb L t. or O V. Pas nxj-oixTioss. or RcafEiT. Hon. George W. Tile, an honored resident of Somerset, a member of the Court of Som erset county, and one of the bnt known and most popular citizens of the county. died at six o'clock Thrcrsday morning, after an illness of only thirty six hours. Dath resulted from heart failure. Ju ?ge Pile bad been lubject to attacks cf heart disease for a number of years, and while bis family and friends had always anticipated that the dis ease would terminate fatally, they were en lirely unprepared for tbe dread message when it came with such nnforseen swiftness. Tbe announcement of Judge Pile's death was a shock to.the.community at large and occasioned the.'greate-taorrow .among his fellow-townsmen. The interment took place at two o'clock. Saturday afternoon, when tbe body was followed to the grave by Judges Longenecker sod Biesecker, tbe mem bers of tbe bar in a body, a large, delegation from Somerset Order of Odd Fellows, who bad charge of the funeral arrangements. and hundreds of the deceased's friends from all sections of the county. Judge Pile was born in this place sixty years ago and bad continuously made his borne here. His ancestors were among the earliest settlers of Somerset county and the family bas always been prominent in busi ness, social and church affair, Mr. Pile was an earnest and consistent member of tbe Lutheran church since early manhood. Shortly after reaching his majority he was married to Miss Belle Engle, of Berlin, who, with five grown children, one daughter and four sons, survive. Mr. Pile was frequently honored by bis neighbors by election to local offices and was honored by the people of the county by an election to the orfice of Sheriff and sub sequently to that of Associate Judge. He was appointed Associate Judge by Governor Beaver to fill the unexpired term of the late Hon. Samuel Walker, dee'd. As a citizen and neighbor Judge Pile had no sop?riors. He enjoyed the esteem and respect of all wbo knew him, and was a man of such sterling integrity and force of character that be attracted legions of friends. His friendships were of the pattern Poloni us speaks of when he says, " grapple them to you with books of steel." Always cour teous, fair and generous to those who differ ed with him, Judge Pile retained the re spect of ail with whom he came in contact. Take bim all in all, he was the anob'est work of God an honest man. His borne life was sweet and pure, such as ouly a de voted husband aud father can make. To his family be bequeathed tbe most sacred her itage a good name. A meeting of the members of tbe Somerset Bar was held at the law o fticse of Ccffroth & Rnppel Thursdy afternoon to lake action rel ative to the death of Associate Judge Pile. A. H. Cc ffroth, E.4 , presided and E. O. Kooser and J. A. Berkey, Esqs , acted as Sec retaries. On motion the Chair appointed L. C. Colborn, Geo. R. Scull, U. M. Berkley, J. A. Berkey and Jas. L. Ptigh, Evjs., a com mittee to draft appropriate resolutions to be submitted at a meeting to be held at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. It was farther decided that the members cf the Bar should altead the funeral in a body. At the meeting Saturday afternoon the committee reported a set of resolutions which were unanimously adopted and ex Judge Baer was appointed to present them to the Court at its meeting Monday morning. Shortly after Court convened Monday morn ing Judge Baer arose aad said : Host. W. J. Bxa: If the Court please, it becomes my duty to present to this hon orable Court certain resolutions that were passed Lithe Bar on the death of your and our late brother, Judge Q. W. Pile, who died on Thursday of lust week and was bur ried on Saturday. Hi illness was of short duration, and the funeral, though on a very severe and stormy day, was largely attended, showing the high esteem in which he was held by ail tbe citi.-ns of this cotnrnunty. He was my near neighbor and aa such I knew bim well aad knew him to be a chris tian gentleman in every sense of the word, a man who was strictly honest ia all bis dealings, and who goes down to his rest and posterity as an honest man, which is one of the highest tributes that can be paid to any man, because I believe " An honest man U the noblest work of God." I knew him best during the time be eat on the bench with me and Judge Shaver. Pri or to that I knew him only as one of my neighbors and a worthy citizen, having the confidence of ail who knew him. t)a tLe bench I ir.bW him to be an impartial judge and a just judge, and when that is said I do not know what more can be added that would increase the high regard of snyoody. The measure of a judge is that of imparti ality and justice. He came up to that stand ard very fully. During the few years that we were on thJbench together, in connec tion with JuJ-ie Shaver, in the course of business we bad occasion often to see how righteously indignant he wouid become, when, through uixre trickery, witnesses and parties would se-k to gain a cause, prolabiy withia the strict letter of the law, but ia Hat conflict with the higher law. He was one of those men who did not be ieve that everything was strictly right simply because it was within the letter of the law ; in other words, he believed that one could keep witbiu the letter if human law and yet would not be w ithin the pale of that Higher Court. He wa?, what may be called in common parlance, a broad-gauge man in business and social hie. He was a member of thecburch, a strict Lutheran, yet he bad many charac teristics that go beyond the Christianity of mere church members. He was not bigot ted. His Christianity and religion were aa broad as tbe brotherhood of man. Acd when you come to that, you come back to the original religion which is so essential in these days. There are others who will follow me, wbo know more of bis family relations than I, and who will speak to you of bis high qual ities in this respect. These resolutions that I have in my band cover the ground so. thoroughly that J will not adl anything further by way of encomium, but simply read theni. W'UEKXAg, Hon. George W. Pile, Associate Judge of I hi several Courts of Some.-stt County, died on tbe iJ.d day cf February, A. D. lsOtJ, and, Wuerias, It is fitting and proper for the members of Uie Somerset Bar to express their sorrow at the sad intelligence and show their appreciation of the character of tbe de ceased as a man, a citizen and an official, therefore be it IUtultfd, 1st. That the members of the Somerset Bar received with profound sor row and regret Ibe announcement of the death of Hon. George W. Pile late Associate Judge of Somerset County. 2nd. That in the death of Hon George W. Pile the Commonwealth has lost a val uable citizen, the County a pure and just Judge, his family an aff-vtiouate and gen tle husband and a kind and thoughtful fath er. When, in the Providence of God, such a man is ceiled away the voice of complain ing is hushed by tbe thought that the change Is his gain and tbe good name be left behind bim will long be treasured in grateful remembrance by those with wbom be traveled the way of life. 3rd. That duriog the time in which he sat in our court in his official capacity aa well as in bis private life be ever manifest ed toward tbe members of the Bar the dig nity aud kindness of a true gentleman, and his actions on the bench were governed by an Inflexible conviction cf and adherence Io duty. 4tb. That Id the life of the derartsd Judge there Is much to admire. The kind eras of his heart and the benignity cf his disposition were ever manifested in the in terest he displayed for the welfare and suc cess of ail with wbom he was brought into personal relation. 5th. That the chair on the Bench made vacant by the death of Judge Pile be draped in appropriate mourning for a period of thir ty days. till. That a copy cf these reauluticus be published in the newspapers of tbe County a ropy be filed among the archives of the County ; and a copy be transmitted to the bereaved family of the deceased. AH of which is respectfully submitted. L. C. CoLBots, Gao. R. Swll, H. M. BticLsr, J. A. Baax it, J. L. Fvoh, Committee. I wish to supplement these resolutions by moving that, after such further, remarks as may be made by the gentlemen of the Bar, the court then adjourn, in honor of the de ceased .Judge, until 2 o'clock in the after noon. Host. A. H. CoFraoT : If your Honor please, as president of tbe Bar Association, I rise for the purpose of seconding the reso lutions read and the motion made by Judge Baer. I hare known George W. Pile, late judge of the court, from his earliest child hood. He and I .went to school together. We were born in tbe. same town and we have spent every hour of our lives, except when temporarily absent, in this town of Somerset. I was intimate with him from his earliest childhood. Wheu.be was a can didate for nomination for any otfios, I not only gave him my sympathy, but exerted bat little influence I had in his party to secure that nomination. In my opinion he was a very honest man; a very conscientious man ; it mattered not whom be offended or whom be served, he followed bis conscientious duties. On the bench he was kind to the members of the Bar, in social lite he was generous. He aided or encouraged those who required aid and encouragement. There was probably no young man that was more honored in his youCftd days than he or when he ar rived at the age of manhood that was more respected, and no man within my knowl edge in this town whose death caused more profound sorrow. I had seen him the day before his death upon the street and down at the office. Little did I then think that before morning the summons would come and call him to leave for the shore touched by that mysterious sea which has never yet borne a homeward sail. When I came down to my breakfast in tbe morning I was sur prised and shocked at thenews which came into the dining room that Judge Pile was dead. Tbe community at large was shock ed. Men talked aoout it on the street corn er and in the offices. It was a sudden death, it ia true, which often causes tnrprise, but bis death, who was so kind to every body, so generous, so conscientious in his duties, caused more than the nsua! re ma k a to be male by iut oa the subject. He bad a kind heart about him for true men. and many passed by his dead body that shed a tear because they loved him for the kind cess of bis heart. Furtbcreul.-gistic' remarks, (which Isck of space prevents our pul.lisuidg.J were made by Attorneys A. C. Holbert, W. H. Ruppel, F. J. Kooser, H. L. Baer, A. J. Col born and J. H. I'hl. At the close of Mr. Uhl remarks. His Honor, Judge Loo enecker, spoke aa followt: Hos. J. H. Losoise xe : Our brother. George W. Pile, was stricken down at the coon-day of a most honorable and useful career. Only a few day ago he wa'ked these streets, a picture of robust, perfect healtlu To his hosts of friends the news of his sud deu death was as startling as it was sad. He alone, was not surprised when the final summons came. He heard tbe footfalls ol the dread messenger that called bim hence and anticipated his coming. To a member of this Bar he disclosed his apprehensions, and then be stood in his place, like tbe brave maq be was, to await with christian fortitude and resignation, the falling blow. Though I have known him personally but a short while, I bad known him most favor ably by reputation years before. As a friend, a neighbor aad citizen, his praise worthy life ia well-kaowa to yoa all. When I came to this bench, little more than a year ago, he occupied a place opon it, and my appreciation of his meritorious character has grown from asx:iation with every suco-ed-ng day. How oftea have I turned to this cha'r, now vacant and draped in the sombre color so expressive of our sor row, for a hasty word of counsel and how amply eaa I always rewarded for my icqai ries. No man could be more loyal to his friends, but here his conscience and uner ring judgment were his only monitors. His life was imbued with the spirit of justice aad fair play. No one more eagerly sought to do the nj'iL No unworthy motive ham pered him foraa instant io the discharge of official duty. A man of positive convic lions, he bad the resolution and moral cour age to stand by them without faltering, l-t come what would. And yet he had a large, generous heart which often melted into sympa hy and pity at the misfortunes of these who had violated the law. I am sure that I but ftbly express th sea U men ts of my brother. Judge Biesecker, as well as your own, arho 1 say he was " a man of a tho'isacd." His ser rices on the b.'nch redacts unmix ed credit on tbeconstituency which placed him here, and will always be a pleasing memory to the people of Somerset County. Precious words of common latioa fall from the lips of ail who ut-er his name in this community. And so, with a public rec ord which will be mentioned Only in praise, aud a private life lu&jinous with noble dteds, his work was well done and we are all bet ter for having known bim. If he had been longer spared bis years would still have been fi.ied with useful, willing labor; but so far as preparation is concerned, his Iifc was ripe and g lilen for the unseen reaper. When, tbe other day, amidst the storm and tumult of the elements, we laid bim away at rest, as I looked opon his calm, un troubled face, I could not but recall the of; repeated line from Campbell : "To live In tae hearts we iev behind, la not to 'Juu ' Tbe fiagraace of his good name and stain less rep itatioa will linger ia our midst long after his well remembered foraa shall bavs mingled with the Ju-;t. lUJivnw) cr aisrtr? aoor-riD sv thb ODD riLLXWS.
