There has been much discussion lately as to whether the law requires bars to be closed during primary elections or not. Some landlords in the county have been keeping their bars open during the late primaries, others desiring to tie on the pafeside have kept their doors closed. The courts ought to decide the question definitely, so that there should be no in fraction of the laws ignorantly or de signedly.

Ferner, who by the way is a prominent member of tho United Evan gelicals, tells the following story: One day last week a fellow churchman called at our store and after lamenting about the unfortunate church war, concluded by saying that it really appeared as though there was no God, as all one hears now-a-days is about liuhbts Usher or McKinley. Mr. Ferner thought the remark too g'sxl to keep, hence its appearance iu print, Catherine, wife of Henry Sarver, of Allegheny towuship.died on last Wednes day, of dropsy of the heart, aged over fifty years.

On Friday her remains were laid to rest in the family burial ground near her late home. Rev. F. P. Saylor officia ted on tho occasion, and as she was a woman held in high esteetit by her neighbors, the funeral was largely at tended. There has been some complaint lately about the taste of the water coming from the public water supply. The water it self as it comes from the depths of the wells is of the purest and best. So the fault can not l there. A gentleman who visited the reservoir some days ago tells us that in one corner of it there was a deposit of frog spawn. Whether this has been removed or not we can not say, but the Board of Health ought to do a little "smelling"' in that direction, and if any impurities are found in the reservoir they ought to le removed at once, as the health of the town depends largely on the con dition of the v ater supply. The people of the town were much amused one evening last week, by the appearance, in the public square, of a young girl of about fifteen years, who offered for sale a toy consisting of two wooden figures actuated by a rubber string, that danced, fought and cut up all sorts of capers. She seemed to be out for business, and did iL Every boy that had a nickel invested it and she kept up the interest by the repetition of : "Only a nickel, any child of three years can work it; directions with every sale!

Musser, of Somerset township, 217; George W. Baush, of Quemahouing, The Young Democracy On Top "Uncle Aleck" didn't take off his vest Saturday, but he was disrobed altogether by the young Democracy of Somerset county. The nominatiou of Kretehman was an eye-opener for the astute Deino ciatic leader, who ever since the war has been able to say to the members of his party in this county, "thumbs up," with the confidence that the thumbs would be immediately elevated. But when Cleve land was first elected Presideut, "Uncle Aleck" put his thumb iuto the Demo cratic pie, and like "Little Jack Horner," of the nursery book, pulled out a plum. The trouble was, "Uncle Aleck" couldn't pull out plums enough to go round, for if he had,every Democratic mouth in the county would have been munching the luscious fruit a federal appouitmenL The fellows 'who wauted plums and didn't get them blamed no one but "Un cle Aleck," since they thought that all he had to do was to put his thumb in the post office department or internal reve nue bureau and jerk out plums at lib. The disappointed ones have been howl ing mad ever since. This is one ot the reasons why "Uncle Aleck" lost his grip Saturday. Another reason is that it is alleged lhat "Uncle Aleck" promised all of the ten candidates in the field for county com missioner to "keep hands off." How well he kept this promise he himself on ly knows, but at least eight of the can didates are quite certain that if "Uncle Aleck" had kept hands off the result would have been quite differenL Friday he threw olT the mask he had been wear ing for the past three months and declar ed to his friends that "Kretehman must be defeated, and Wagaman is the only man who can do iL" Candidates Grove, Miller and others claimed that they w ere pot being treated fairly by the "General"' and were deaf to all his entreaties to withdraw in favor of hisscandidate from Northampton. , The young Democracy had woven a web for the boss spider aud he walked iuto it as Innocently as any novice in pol itics ever walked into n trap baited by cunning politicians. Saturday morning he became suspicious and ran from oue to the other of the young Democracy and plead with them not to defeat his candi date. His pleadings were of no avail; .the members of the young Democracy had long ago decided to assert their power, and they did it most effectually. "Uncle Aleck" seems to be more suc cessful at influencing members of his party to vote for his favorites at Republi can primaries than at primaries of bis own party. Canght One Sorglar While in the Aetof Sobbing a Store at HooveriTille. A daring attempt at burglary at Hoov ersville early Wednesday morning re sulted in the arrest of John Smith, who claims to live in Marrisburg. The prisoner's capture was effected through the efforts ot an amateur detect ive, a young man named Ed Jones, who fell in with him aud several companions last Friday, and lived with them in au abandoned sugar camp. Smith confided to Jones that he and two other members of the giug had robbed several stores in Bedford county, among tbein one at Maun's Choice, and had planned to rob Geisel's and dough's stores in Hoovers ville. Jones entered into the plan, and Tues day morning visited Hooversville, when he hunted up Constable Noah Washer, and gave the scheme away. It was agreed lhat the constable should have a posse in the Geisel store, and when Jones struck a match it was to be taken as a signal that all of the me.ubar of the gang were in the building, and the officers should make themselves known. Smith removed a pane of glass from the store door and he and Jones passed through. Iu his excitement Jones struck the match before the other mem bers of the gang got inside the building, and Smith was the only one captured. It was at fiist thought that Smith was one of the gang who tortured and robbed farmer Berkey. Flsg Day and Children's Day. Lant jnday was the 'anniversary of tho adoption of the American Flag, and for that reason iu many states the flag was hoisted over all school-houses and public buildings. The fact of the anni versary occurring on Sunday prevented as general a celebration of the day as it would otherwise have received. Sunday was also Children's Day and the church es of Somerset and many other places in the county were filled with the bright, happy faces of those who are shortly to be the men and women of the country. Because of its being Flag Day, flags were largely introduced in the decorations of the churches, and in many cases each child was furnished with one or more small flags to carry. In New York state the celebration of Flag Day was postpon ed until Monday, when at 9 a. x. the symbol of American liberty was run up the flag staff ef every school-bouse and other public building in the state.

A Former Joaaor Township Xaa Held for Uo Brutal Crime. Fred Nagle, a resident, of Morrellville, a suburb of Johnstown, and Jainos Rod dy, who has resided in the same place evei since he left Jenner township about a year ago, were arrested at an early hour Wednesday morning, charged with the Berkey robbery and torture, in Paint township, Tuesday night of last week. Detective John T. Harris, of Johns town, received somo Information which directed suspicion towards the two men and became convinced from a statement that Nagle made that Roddy at least was oue of the guilty parties. A warrant lor the arrest of the suspected men was issued on information of Jacob Berkey, a son of the old gentleman who was robbed and tortured and their arrest followed. Thursday morning the prisoners were taken to the Berkey form, where a hear ing was held before Justice Scott Mur phy. Mr. Berkey's injuries are worse than at first reported and be was unable to leave his bed. He was tho first witness called against the two men, but he was able to give but little information and could identify neither of the parties, although he said that the smaller of the two who commit ted the outrage was about the sajne size as Roddy. M rs. Berkey was more posi tive in her evidence and she swore that Roddy was the smaller man who was in their house that niguL She said that the two meu had handkerchiefs over their faces and that, while she was tied to her husband's bed there being two lieds iu the room the mask of the smaller man fell off and the face of Roddy was reveal ed. She was more positive because she claims that she was in a poaition to get a good view of Roddy's face and that she looked at him while the meu were tor turiug her husband. M iss Lucy Berkey, who fractured her left leg while endeavoring to escape from the house, says that she also saw Roddy in the room and that there was, no chance that she might be mistaken in the iden tification. A young man named Wir wick also swore that he saw Roddy in that neigborhood the day before and that Roddy was inquiring who was the rich est farmer in that vicinity. This was in direct contradiction to the statement that Roddy made in which he said that he had never becu in that locality; and it was regarded as sufficient evidence for the justice to hold Roddy for court with out bail. Nagle was released, as there was no evidence to hold him. Detective Harris brought Roddy to Somerset on the morning train Friday when he was lodged in jail. Detective Harris says there is no doubt in. the world but that Roddy is the right man; the identification of him by the members of the Berkey family was complete. ANOTHER HVSPECT ARRKSTKD. ' Richard Jackson, who formerly lived in Jenner township, and who is a broth er in-law of Roddy, was arrested by De tective Harris Friday morning at his home in Morrellville. Jackson answers the description of the taller man who is alleged to have assisted in the Berkey outrage. Tho prisoner denies the charge and claims lhat he will have no trouble in establishing his innocence. The Johnstown Tribune of Saturday says: Dick Jackson, who was arrested at twelve o'clock on Thursday night as one of the parties who tortured Mr. Berkey, was taken from the Central Police Sta tion at 7 o'clock this morning and was accompanied to the the Berkey home stead by Ed Levergood. They arrived at Mr. Berkey's home about K:i5 o'clock, aud were In the house when Miss Berkey died. The ouly person sworn against Jackson was Mr. lterkey, who said that the de fendant looks like one of the robbers, and he was held to answer the charge at court. Mrs. Berkey could not be sworn on account of the death of her daughter. Jackson was returned to the city at noon, and remained at police headquar ters until '30 o'click this afternoon, when Ed. Levergood took him to the Somerset Jail. Min Lucy Berkey dead. Miss Lucy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Berkey, died at the home of her parents in Paint township, Somerset couuty, at 9:35 o'clock this morning. It will be remembered that on the morning of the 3d insL, when Mr. Ber key was tortured by two robbers. Miss Berkey climbed out of oue of the second story windows in her night clothes to es cape, and fell from the roof of the porch, breaking one of her legs near the ankle. She fell about twelve feet, and the bones protruded through tho flesh and sank a short distance into the ground. She then crawled into a building near by, but, thinking that the robbers might find her, she went into the garden and remained there aliout three hours. When she was discovered by her rela tives about 4 o'clock in-the morning she was carried into the house, and had been since attended by Dr. Frank Livingston, of Salix. Miss Berkey appeared to be getting along very well until about 9 o'clock this morning, when her condition suddenly changed. The cause of her death was gangreue and internal injnries.
