The Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCULL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY,. .April St. IMS Wolfe's county (Union) lias ec- lected delegates to the Iiepublican j State Convention, and instructed them for General Beaver for Gover- nor. The new Apportionment bill, which lias just become a law in Ohio, civt-s the Republicans fifteen and the Democrats six Congression al districts. MacLeax, the man who attempt ed to shoot Queen Victoria, has been tried and acquitted on the ground of insanity. He had a ppeedy trial and a safe deliverance. The Mormon delegate (Cannon) has been driven out of his seat in Congress and sent howling back to his harem in Utah. There is still hope for morality and Christianity in the country. The Ford brothers who killed Jesse James have been tried, con victed of murder, sentenced to be hung, and pardoned by Governor Crittenden.

A xnv Anti-Chinese bill prohib iting Chinese emigrating to this country for ten years has been pass-; ed by the lower House of Congress. The bill vetoed by the President contained a prohibitory clause of twenty years. Governor Hoyt has appointed Charles II. Stinson, of Xorristown, as Judge of the Montgomery county district, in place of Judge Ross, de ceased. Judge Stinson is a Repub lican, and was formerly a member of the State Senate. . The Twentieth Congressional Dis trict, in which General Beaver lives, is composed of the counties of Cen tre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Mifflin, and Union. Each of these counties lias selected delegates to the State Convention, and every delegate is a Beaver delegate. Notwithstanding the recommen dation of General Grant, President Arthur refuses to take any steps toward relieving Fitz-John Porter from the disabilities imposed on him by the military court that tried and pentenced him. Yet, the email fry politicians of the country still rend thrir linen, and tearfully howl that Grant is running this Adminis tration. The Xational Republican puts it this way: "There is no evidence of 'bitterness between the wings of the Republican party,' as the Cincinnati ..H'ytuVrr supposes. A few conspic uous journalist', who are composed of equal parts of conceit and malig nity, are strutting around in crape, and when called to iccount for throning mud, they reply: 'Hush! I am part of a funeral procession.' Tiiat is all. They are not Republi cans. The Xational Republican Com mittee that is entruitod with the duty of fixing the method of select ing delegate to the next National Convention, has been called to meet at Washington, the third day of January next, and yet there be feather-heads who want candidates for the State Legislature to pledge themselves to attempt to influence or "boss" the committee. Why not ask a pledge to sustain the ten commandments ? The one would be as pertinent as the other. There appeara to be good nros- pect of a reduction in letter postage The House Committee on Postoffices has agreed upon a report recom mending a rate of two cents instead of three od each half ounce. The Department is now self-sustaining and it is thought the Government can well afford the reduction.' Be sides, it is thought that cheap post age will so swell the number of let ters to be carried that the Govern ment will not lose but will gain by the increase in its business. It is a poor rule that does not work both wavs." When President Garfield named Robertson as Collec tor of the Tort of New York, Sena tors Hoar and Dawes, of Massachu setts, sided with the President, and rebuked their colleagues from New York for opposing his choice. Now the tables are turned and the Massa chusetts Senators are opposing Pres ident Arthur's removal of Baird as Collector at Boston. They are learning that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The Philadelphia Press that has been assiduously coquetting with the independents has been the month-piece of the Wolfe gang and terribly afraid that the "bosses" would force the nomination of Gen eral Beaver for Governor, has at last seen a great light, and squarelv tacks round in favor of the gallant General. On the other hand, the whiffets of i. . , ... j lV.

It loots now as if Major Brown, of Pittsburgh, will go into the State Convention as a candidate for Su preme Judge with a dtcidedly larg er number of delegates in his favor than will any other of the candi dates. His friends have not yet se cured a clear majority of all the del egates for him, but nothing save a combination of the forces of all his opponents can prevent bis nomina tion, and we do i.ot think that can be effected. The position of the bolters and kickera in this State resembles very much the predicament of a New England pastor who called upon one of his deacons with whom he had quarreled, and with an air of great solemnity, said : "" Brother, it is a shame that this quirrcl of ours i should bring scandal upon the church. I have prayed earnestly for guidance in the matter, and have come to the conclusion that you must give in, for I can not" There is no longer a question as to who will be the nominee of the Republican State Convention for Governor. The overwhelming pre ference of the people has been un mistakably shown for General James A. Beaver. So evident is this fact that nothing but 6heer stupidity or childish perversity could induce any one to deny or attempt to conceal it. The Philadelphia Prcn, that has shilly-shallied for months past, and given currency to all the ill-natured things that could be urged against General Beaver, has at last thrown up the sponge, and not only con cedes his nomination, but manfully, though somewhat r:dsringly,. fulls into line, while it skives its wounds by indulging in a harmless fling at J the "machine." The change of front is not gracefully made, but it will do. From a couple of editorial articles that appeared in its columns last week, we give the following ex tracts : So far as General Beaver is con cerned, the action of the Convention is clearly foreshadowed. It is ap parent to every intelligent and can did observer that he is unmistakably the choice of a large majority of the party. The Press has been in no haste to anticipate the public judg ment, or to treat the nomination fu Governor as settled. It has prefer red that the sentiment of the party should freely express itself, that its honest and independent choice should be made manifest, and that the verdict thus pronounced should be frankly accepted. This sentiment has now been plainly indicated, and there is no mistaking where it points. The in telligent and earnest Republican papers of the State are in the main a fair index of the public feeling, and the poll which the Prcez has made of their choice shows a very emphatic majority for General Bea ver. The same result appears in the election of delegates. Among a hundred and forty delegates already named, he can probably muster a hundred and twenty. The progress of the' canvass has clearly demon strated that he is accepted by the body of the party as the coming candidate, and whatever opposition developes itself .will come outside of the party organization. The liest way to l;al with the nomination of General Beaver for Governor is the frank and fair way. His own attitude lias leen manly and honorable; the canvass has been open and direct; and the facts are easily understood by all who wnit to know the truth. It is not true that General Beaver has been forced upon the party by Senator Cameron or the machine. He is unquestionably Mr. Cameron's friend, and Mr. Cum ron is his friend; and Mr. Cameron is aiding him in this canvass us he aided Mr. Cameron at Chicago. At the same time General Beaver is stronger than the maclrjne, and the machine adopted himTind determined to help him for the very reason that he conld so well help himself. If the machine had felt able to proceed without regard to public sentiment, it is very doubtful whether it would have chosen so good a favorite. General Beaver has for four years been regarded as a coming candi date; he is strong witli the soldiers ; strong with the religious element; strong with the active Republicans, to whom his eloquent voice and more eloquent crutch have appealed in many campaigns : and with his advantages he forced the machine to come to him more than he went to the machine. Then again, so far as there has been a popular expression, it has, in the main, been favorable to General Beaver. True, there has been no such active canvass as there ought to be in the selection f a Governor. The Convention was summoned too early; it was purposely called ahead of the usual time of the county pri maries and conventions; most of the delegates are named by the County Committees, and there has been no adequate opportunity for free popular action. At the same time if there had been any deep an i general antagonism it would h;-te manifested itself in one form or :m other. In some localities, like Ches ter and Lancaster, there is a strong opposition and tn earnest preference for a different candidate; but in most of the counties the prevailing sentiment has been in favor of Gen eral Beaver, and it cannot reasona bly be doubted that he is the honest choice of a majority of the partv.

CLEAVINGS. "Tee Democrat of Kentucky are all broken up" is the way the New York Sun puts it Captain Henry, their ex-Confederate candidate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, went on a spree at an inauspicious mo ment, and conducted himself in "a disgraceful manner." Some of the Democratic newspaptra demanded his withdrawal from the ticket But the committee declined to de pose the Captain on the ground that getting drunk was of high privilege with a Kentucky Democrat. Hence the break up. South Carolina Bourbons wince and writhe under the proposition of Attorney General Brewster to prosecute all citizens of that State who have violated the election laws. It is not what was expected. Mr. Brewster has proceeded in such a straightforward, legal and Sagacious way that the dullest man in that State, who has been acting the part of a traitor while be imagined he was only showing his smartness as an electioneering Democrat, now sees that he is confronted by a law officer who mean3 business. The Attorney General simply intends to show those who have violated the law that there is the legal force in existence to punish them for this crime. It is a lesson which the peo ple of the South need to learn for their own good. The nomination of General Bea ver for Governor by the Pennsylva nia Republicans being pretty well assured, the New York Tribune is troubled with gloomy forebodings. It is weighted down with the gravi ty of the situation. And why? Be cause "General Beaver, the predeter mined candidate for Governor, i3 first of all a Stalwart He voted thirty-six times for a third term at Chicago, knowing all the time Miat he was misrepresenting the senti ment both of his district and his State. He was picked out for Gov ernor because of this service. His selection was an affront to a vast majority of Pennsylvania Republi cans." The Tribune should hav gone further and said that General Beaver was one of the most earnest and effective workers in the Garfield campaign, and that even toen Re publicans were talking of him as a candidate for Governor. Another reason why the Tribune should op pose him is that he was a good sol dier, and that he left one leg on the battle field. The Tribune sincerely hopes General Beaver will be with drawn. This is pretty cool, coming from a constitutional bolter to the veteran Republicans of Pennsylva nia. Inter- Ocean. PARTY FEALTY. Under this heading the BraJfurd Hqtortir draws a picture and points a lesson that will recognize and ad mit as very timely, every county in the State having more or less of that disgruntled class who make it their business to sow discord in the polit ical party in which they claim mem bership, and as far as in them lies give aid and comfort to the opposi tion, because, n3 the writer has apt ly said, they have wanted some thing that they have not received, or because the party has not tamely submitted to their leadership. These follows are not exclusively a Republican production, but they are found holding on to political organ izations, and are known to all men. Sometimes with a small following of adherent.-', but usually without in fluence or reputation, their whole business seeming to be to find fault, denouncing better parly men with bitter invective on general princi ples, falsehood serving their pur pose much better tha i the truth. The men and their objects arc well known and understood, let the hon est citizen scout their attempts at confusion, and give them to know how insignificant a portion of the community they comprise: "One of the things necessiry for the suwss of any party is the hon orable f.-alty of its members. There may be leaders in a party and they may have followers who wish most earnestly for their success in any of j their ambitious projects ; but above all, and superior to the claim of any leader is the fealty owed to the par ty which represents the principles and policy in which we believe. Rivals and leaders must of necessi ty create feeling and antagonism in a party ; but these are never dan gerous when subordinate, as they always should be, to party fidelity. No honest leader will ever, because of his defeat, attempt to injure his party; and no follower will sustain a leader in an effort to work injury to his organization, if he properly observes his allegiance to paJty. The dissensions which sometimes arise ia parties may always be check ed and robbed of every danger by an honest adherence to" party organ ization. The objection that party lines are drawn too closely, and that it is not manly to submit to the rule of the caucus, is usually either childish, or suggested by a personal ambition which has been unsuccessful in the only tribunal to which party differ encccan be properly referred. Cau cuses are necessary ; organization es scntial, and fidelity to party is man- lv and honorable. 1 he reasons m v- 'en for a refusal to support tartv n-jminees are usually such as are re- ferable to thwarted ambition' and are not honest objections to the par ty or its practices. If a man joins a party because he believes its princi ples are better than those of his oo ponents ; and if he is thoroughly convinced of its superior integrity, wisdom or patriotism, he will not refuse to support it because the par ty machinery does not always grind out his personal choice as a nom inee. Men who join a party for snoils. usually crumble when thev see pecuniary reward distributed to others and when their claims are re. fused. Such men have no party, and fidelity to organization cannot be expected from them. They do not work for any party except "they see prospect o. monev ahead : andthev deserve nothing from a paity except forge tfulness. Such men who are unworthvof the confidence or rpen"- 'nilion of thse who love principte and bare b. most often fc i upon honest imrtrhnj. nor incst canvicUoiis are, leading attacks! foanil candidates whom the i 1 party has nominated. They usual-' ly have ft following, and frequently do great harm to the party to which thev nominally belong, by taking from it honest men who are caught by cheap talk about independence and rings. People are misled by cries of fraud and are carried to an enemy's camp by h siren song about bossism. leadership or wire pulling, ! that ha" not three grains of sense in it A r Miious banner with noble sentim m ujon it will deceive many v ..o carelessly neglect to ex amine the logic and argument upon which the rebellion is founded. All that is necessary in that voters should think for" themselves, and carefully txamine the principles cf candidates and fee upon what plat form they stand and what honest reason there is for their candidacy ; and if they do this there will be few who will renounce, even temporari ly, their fealty to party. If a party deserves anything from its members, it deserves an honora ble submission to the will of a ma jority. If it is worthy of any sup port it is worthy of manly, honest work in aid of the party unity and we suggest to every citizen the pro priety of careful, conscientious thought upon the question : " What do I owe the party ; and what is my duty in sustaining it?" A Divorce Sought fur Daughter. a Covenor's Hagerstowx, Md., April 20.-Gov-enor Hamilton, of this State, whose residence is in this town, has just in stituted a suit for the divorce of his youngest daughter. Clare, aged sev enteen, from John L. Stanhope. The romantic marriage of the young girl to Stanhope, who is still under age, at Pen Mar Park on the Blue Ridge, two thousand feet above the sea, last August, is still fresh in the minds of newspaper readers. The Governor had forbidden the match when he learned of the attachment existing between the couple, and so they stole away eluring a picnic at Pen Mar, at which the Governorand his family were present, and were married by a clergyman from West minster, Carroll county. The mar riage was concealed until September, when it was discovered through the recording of the license. The bride was at once sent back to boarding school at Nyack, New York, where she had been the previous year, and her whereabouts concealed from Stanhope. The application for di vorce is made on the ground of the girl's youth. Governor Hamilton has enzaged General Bradley T. John son and John P. Pope as his coun sel. Young Stanhope will contest the application, which he claims is made without consent of his wife, and when the taking of testimony is begun some interesting develop ments are looked for. A Sheriff in Trouble. IIarbisbl'kg, April 20. Argu. ment was had before the Deputy Attorney General to day on an ap plication for a writ of quo warrantc, having for its object the ousting of Sheriff Altnian, of York county. An affidavit was filed by a former deputy of the Sheriff, named Ilein del, setting forth that in considera tion of his support of Altman for nomination and election he should receive the position of Deputy Sher iff, ileindel, who was recently dis charged from the Sheriffs employ, also presented an agreement, pur porting to have been signed by Ilein del and Anan, embodying the main declar.i lions made in the for mer's affidavit. Senator Ro.-s' name appears on the paper, indicating that he was a witness to the transac tion, but he denied that he nflixed his signature. A man named Smith also stated that Altman had prom iseel him a position as Deputy Sher iff if he supported him. Sheriff Alt man stateel that the allegations made against him were false and at the request of his lawyers the hearing was continued to allow counter affi davits to those presented to bp filed in the Attorney General's office.

Twenty-eight Balldiag Demolished A Number of FcnoM Killed and About One Hnedred Iajored. Chicago, April 1!' -T'er advices concerning the cy. ; which visi ted Brownsville," M., t.venty-two miles northwest ofSeda!i., yester day, and which was mentioned in the Associated Press dispatches last night, say: The storm struck the town at 4 p. m. and two minutes af terward a fearful scene of death and destruction was visible on every side. Large two-story brick business hous es were lifted from their foundations and the ruins scattered in chaotic confusion in all directions. Frame dwellings were overturned and crush ed into spliuters, wnile trees were uprooted and carried long distances by the force of the storm. Hogs and other animals were picked up into the air, carried various distances and dropped lifeless along the track of the storm. The first intimation the people had of the fearful disas ter impending was the appearance of a low hanging, bluish, funnel shaped cloud rising in the south west, which 6eemed to be whirling and rolling in all directions, assum ing every conceivable form, and trav eling at "a most fearful rate of speed directly toward the town. The peo ple became intensely excited and many sought safety in cellars, but the storm came with "such velocity that uo time was given the large majority to see k places of refuge. J ust before the funnel shaped cloud struck the town, a loud, roaring sound was heard, which was followed by sever al loud electrical explosions at the southwestern limits of the town. The lutuiel seemed to strike the ground and rebound a few feet into tho air, but kept in close proximity to the earth during its entire pas sage through town. It seemed to move in a rapid, rotary maner, and everything it came in contact with was "drawn up intoita mouth only to be dropped a few seconds later twisted and crushed out of all shape. Fifteen brick and two frame houses, between fifteen and twenty dwell ings and the Missouri Pacific depot and telegraph office, were entirely destroyed and numerous other build ings badly damaged. THE TRACK OF THE CYCLONE was about one huudred and fifty yards wide and extended from the southwestern to the northeastern limits of the town. Two large busi ness blocks of t vo-story brick build ings in the northern part of the town were torn completely to atoms and the debris scattered in every direc tion. Frame dwellings were drawn into the vortex and crushed like egg shells and the heavy timbers carried hundreds of yards. Among the stores destroy ed are C. M. Kelly's drug store; W D. Humbert, hard ware; B. W. Robinson, dry goods; C. Wahlers, confectioner; Central Hotel ; railroad depot and telegraph office and most all of the best busi ness buildings in town. The Mis souri Pacific Railroad sent a special relief train from Sedalia late last night and several doctors wei.t to ! render aid to the sufferers. Browns ville is the oldest town in Saline county, and is situated on the Mis souri Railroad, twenty-two miles from Sedalia, and not far from Sweet Springs. The hotel at the latter place has not been harmed. " THE KILLED AXD IXJCRED. Seven jH-rsons were killed, whose names areas follows: P. Scruggs, a prominent farmer. C. Mayers, aleading dry gooels mer chant E. T. Arthurs, of Pittsburgh, on a visit for the benefit of his health. Williams, a traveling man, resi dence unknown. I. P. R ivne. a Baptist minister. James Miller, a well known young man. City Marshall White. Perry and John Wilson, father and son, were fatally injured. James Jackson, back broken and will die-. C. M. Kelly, leg broken. Dick Hickman, leg broken. W. II. Sterrs, severely injured, Scholin Chapman, severely injur ed. All the dead, except Marshall White, were killed by the falling of buildings. Whitewasuponthestreet and was the most mutilated and dis figured of any. It is supposed that he was drawn into the funnel among the flying timbers, which occasioned the mutilation. The ground over which the storm passed was mown smooth, and everything the cvclone came in contact with was charred and blackend and covered with a bluish, sticky mud. Large depos its of gravel and sand were also no ticed scattered all along the path. A deafening roar accompanied the storm, which could le heard for some time after it had passed. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Twenty-eight business buildings in Brownsville were completely wrecked. The se-ction house, which was about one hundred yards from the depot, was blown across the track and riddled to atoms. Mrs. John Alpin and six children were occu pants of the structure at the time and they were carried with it and suffered injury more or less. A num ber of farm houses in the vicinity of Brownsville are reported to have been blown down. The total num ber of persons wounded and injured foots up one hundred and fifty. The City Hotel block is a complete wreck, nothing beins left but a pile of bricks, mortar and debris. The body of a farmer named Matt Williams" was taken from the ruins. His body was mashed to a pulp. Specials from Jefferson City say people from Saline county just in sav the destruction at Brownsville will sum up over$150,000. The de struction of country property is not great, but is extensive. At Montrose. Henrie county, Tues day night, the storm entirely demol ished the Baptist and Christian churches and did more or less dam age to twenty other buildings. The Farmers' In6titnte, a school build ing' was strnck by the cyclone. There were about thirty-five children in the building and the wind car ried the structure entirely away, strewing the debris over the prairie for miles. The children in some in. stances were carried a long distance and a number of them seriously hurt. The damage will be nearly $20,000. At Calhoun, Henrie county, the pot tery building was blown in and a large amount of stock damaged: AliRuet One Hundred Dead. Stit'TU Bethlehem. Pa..

About 4 o'clock yesterday evening a cyclone of the most destructive character passed over the northern end of Fayette County. Its course was northeast and it cut a path about two hundred varda wide and several miles in length. Housef.barns orchaids lira- j ber uees and fenccswere leveled to the j ground. The destruction was clone so quick that eye-witnesses re una- i ble to give anything like an accurate ! account of it The details as far as ! received are that the cvclone firstl struck and demolished the Menr.onite Church in Bullskin Township. A. J. Arratt, who was riding along the road on horseback, was swept from his horse and carried some distance. Ad instant after the horse was struck by a flying piece of timber and killed. J. Sherrick's large stone barn unroofed and other serious damage done to his property. When the storm struck the village of Penns ville it totally demolished the Disci ples' Church and the houses and barns of Miller Lyons, M. Detwiler, Atkinson and Frebe, and a number of others. John BandorfTs barn was turned upside down, and fatal injury in flicted upon Bandorff. Joseph Glass barn's dwellings were scattered in fragments to the four winds of Heav en and his wife and five children were badly hurt by flying debris. Probably the greatest sufferer was John Winegrove. The cyclone not only strippd him if his property but of his wife He found her lying dead borne distance from the site of his house. Her babe, living and unhurt, was clasped to her bosom with the grip of death. He returned from her to find his children in flames, and fightiug both fire and storm for their lives. They say that the flames came from the black funnel shaped cloud which swept across the country. Mrs. Winegrove was buried to-day Jerry Stafford and his two daughters were also seriously hurt The ex tent of the damage cannot yet be determined, but in the end it will foot tip three or four lives and per haps $1,000,000. among the injured area number who cannot recover. The storm was accompanied by hailstones as large as a tea cup. The large bonded warehouse of Over halt fc Co., at Brodford, in Fayette County, collapsed this morning un der the pressure of 4,200 barrels of whiskey. It is estimated that 1,000 barrels of the liquid were destroyed. It poured in a stream into the Yonghiogheny River. People car ried it away in cups buckets and tubs, and those who had no vessels got down on their knees ahd elrank it. Ait Awful Crime. Boston, April 20. A brutal and fiendish murder occurred at Somer ville, near this city, this forenoon, the victim being an old lady, aged 79, and the murderer her son in-law 6J years old both parties occupy ing good positions in society, the old lady being worth, it is reported, one or two hundred thousand dollars. Her name was A r9. Philomena S. Russell ; her murderer's name is Edwin S. Prescott. and he is a retir ed dry goods merchant It appears that Prescott, who i.- in bad health, and has done no buiir&- for over a year, has led an unple:.s mt life at home. His mother-ii. law, who lived with him, has taunted him for recent business reverses, and has given him to understand that, in her opinion, her daughter might have made a much better match than by marrying him. Thp treatment he has received has preyed upon and affected his mind. This morning, about 11 o'clock, his wife having gone to Boston shopping, Prescott went into the kitchen of his resi dence. There the old lady met him, and they became engaged in a quarrel. W.ird and then blow were exehangwl, and the couple fell j on tho floor. Prescott reached out ) for a brick, which happened to be! near, and hit her on th head, I i knocking her insensible. Then h j went after a coal shovel and smashed ! in the top of her head, and finished off by cutting the old lady's throat with a case knife from ear to ear. When his wife came home, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he told her that he had killed her mother. She went for the police, and iio was arresteel at the house. Mrs. Russell's body was found lying on the floor of the kitchen, with the face and head one mass of cuts and bruises, and lying in a pool of blood. The body was taken care of, and Prescott was fciken to the lockup. He coolly acknowledged his crime, and said he had committed it be cause "the old lady was too sarcas tic." He will be arraigned in cout to-morrow. The affair has occasion ed a great sensation. Whiskey Running Into a Itiver. Eversox, Pa., April 20. The Inrge bonded warehouse at the Eroadford distillery, in Fayette county, pave way about 2 o'clock this morning unde.' the f;reat pressure exerted by the 4,200 barrels of whiekey stored away in it. Hundreds ol the barrels collapsed and the liquor ran down into the Yough river. Men and boys ran with buckets and jugs to get a part of the flowing juice. Others got down on their knees and sipped the fluid to their hearts' content. The loss of the whiskey cannot be estim ated exactly b8 yet, but will proba bly amount to several hundred bar rels.
