court show that Jacobs wn u ever convicted
of an v higher crime than assault and battery.
In 175 he was aaiullted ou a charge of riot.
Although he was nover oenvWod of stealing
he has been suspected. Several yeara age, ll

aud reculved u santence of nlue yeara en
these charges. Tha prlncljsil witness for the
ouinmea wealth was Mary Goodendorf, a
woman et this city, lu whose heuse souieof
the stolen goods were found. She swore
that iluzzard gave her the goods. Abe has
always denied being guilty of Ibis crime
During his trial he said (net ou the witness

Nwore falsely against Abe lliuird because
she was Jealous el hlui at the time and watted

Jacobs aud Iluzard had been ou intlmnte

Jacobs has net been a drinking man

With the aslstance of Ktmen L.
Brandt, one el the most liberal-
minded director of that school beard,
a new department In artlstle excellence In
school room architecture has bsen attained.
The room Is handsomely papered throughout,
and the windows draped with curtains In keep

filled with healthy plauts In front of each
window give the room acheerlul appearance.

Alter music by the male quartette, thateld
veteran et a hundred educational battles,
Hen. J. P. Wlckersham, treated the audience
te a half hour' talk en the old and new
education. That he felt at home In old Done Dene
gal, was evident from the fact that forty
three years age he entered the little
river town of Marietta, at the age of twenty,
te take charge of the Marietta academy.
This may be said te have been the beginning
of his educational career. Twe yeara later
we Und him visiting the schools of Lancaster
county as county superintendent, which
position he held for n term of nine year j we
next Und him In charge of the Mllleravllle
academy, laying the foundation of what was
seen destined te be the tlrst Nermal school
In the state, an unpretentious two-story
brick building in 1S5-I, and scarcely known
beyond the limit of the village of Mil Mil
lersvllle, It grew within a comparatively
few year under tbe Dr.'s prlnclpalshlp te be
the leading Nermal school In the state. Later
en wn see him directing the educational ship
of state as superintendent of public Instruc
tion. A dozen years later we Und him oc

of Copenhagen, and last, though net least, a
school director in tbe city of hi adoption.
The exercises were further continued by a
most admlrable recitation by Mis A. Kate
Wltmer, of the statu Nermal school of MUlers MUlers
ville. Uer ability as an elocutionist waa
evidently previously well known te the com
mittee. W. V. WILSON'S ADDrthSS.
The exercises concluded with an address
by W. A. Wilsen, cq., the man who always
get oil a geed thing and yet ha never been
known te have a subject. It is said that up
te the moment he steps te the front he hasn't
the remetest conception of what he la going
te say. A peculiar twist of Iho head, how hew how
ever, has never been known te fall te fur
nish the key te the combination lock te hi
well furnished stere heuse of knowledge,
nnd It seldom If ever close uutll he ha done

that during rertalu political pilgrimage

whlle It has alwavs been known te open
the moment friend Vilsen mount the plat

dlOlculty in getting It te close at the proper

the present occasion. Whether it wa due te
the handsome bouquet In the hand of tbe
beautiful young lady, who sit ready te hand
It te our eloquent orator at the close of hi

vet It mmt net be Inferred that friend Wil

According le the Pittsburg lit, the report
et the beard of arbitrator In the suit Involv
ing $1,000,000, In which Dr. David Heatetter
I the dofendant, I likely te be filed In court
this week,
Tbe II rm el llostettor.V-Hmlth, manufac
turer el Hosteller's bittern, was perhsp the
most widely known In America. Thore In
net a point In the country te Which the
bltters have net beeu sent. Tbe reolpe for
the mauufaclure of theoe bitter wa
obtained by Geergo W. Smith from a
German physician In Lancaster. After
obtaining the roclpe Mr. Smith entered
Inte a partnership with David Uostettor
and hi father for the manufacture
et the medicine, each having a third Interest
In the business, the Hestetters lurnlihlng the
meney and Dr. Huilth putting Initie formula
as his third of the capital. The business from
the Urst proved exceedingly protltable, and
large amounts of money wero accumulated.
Dr. llestetter, as every ene knows, branched
out Inte ether enterprises, making bold, but
always successful financial venture. Mr.
Smith waa a generous man and permitted Dr.
Uostetter te have the use of meney without
charging Interest upon lb He kept large
sums et ready money en deposit In the banks
earning nothing, simply le accommodate Dr.
Hosteller whenever he warded temakeadeal
of any kind.
Somethlng evor a year age Geerge W.
Smith died. HI body bad scarcely been laid
away In the grave when Dr. llestetter erased
the name of Smith from the firm and aubstl aubstl
tuted therefer Dr. D. llestetter ,t Ce., It be
ing well understood that Dr. Uostetter him
self constituted the " Company." The
family of Mr. Smith endeavored te get an
account of the partnership buslness from Dr.
llestetter, but he refused or noglected te glve
1L He also neglected or rermed te account
te the family for Mr. Smith' Interest lu the
llrm. The profit of the business last year
alone were upward el 1200,000.
Upen the refusal of Dr. Uostetter te settle
with the heirs, and hi neglect te furnish an
account, the family began proceeding in
court te arrive at the value of Mr. Smith's In
terest lu the trade mark of llestetter fc HirntH
a well as of the formula for manufacturing
the bitters. The matter wa interred te a
beard et arbitrator consisting of J. B. Scott,
for the Smith family ; D. Leet Wilsen, cash
ier of the Fert Pitt bank, for Dr. Heatetter
and O. P. Hcalfe, of W. B. Scalfe ifc Hen, a
umpire. Nine lawyers altogether were
employed, they being D. T. Watsen,
Knox As Reed, and A. II. Clark rep
resenting Dr. Heatetter; Jehn Dalzell, A,
M. Brown, F. M. Magee, and two ethers,
representing the Smith family. The hear
ing were held In Ft. Pitt bank, and were in
progress about a year. On Saturday last the
iinal hearing took place and the arguments
of ceunsel were made. Theso arguments
lasted from 10 o'clock in tbe forenoon until 6
o'clock m the ovenlng. The arbitrators then
took tbe case, and as ha already been men
tioned, have held several meeting since te
decide as te what report they shall make.
The claim advanced by tbe heir el Mr.
Smith Is that tlie value et tbe trade mark
and formula Is 1,000,000, as the profit
growing out of the business represent the
interest ou that sum annually. Tbey there thero thore
fore Insist that their third Interest is worth
upward of 300,000. This Is the main ques
tion which must be decided by the arbitra
tor. Dr. Uostettor ha been engaged in a great
deal of litigation during the pest two or three
years, and while fortunate In all ether re
spects, ha been very unfortunate lu the
courts. In the suits brought against him
by the city he he lest nearly 1500,000 when
the costs are added te the amount of meney
he has been cempelled le pay, or ha
yet te pay, Inte the city treasury.
In the present case, It 1 believed by
theso lu a position te knew, he will leso
again, and tbe Smith family will obtain a
judgment for the amount they ealm. Tbe
decision of the arbitrators, by agreement and
direction of the court, w ill be Unal aud with
out appeal, and 1 net like the report et a
master, subject te the exceptions nnd revi revi
slen or non-acccrtance of a w hole.
