The Hill and Sterner hotels and private
residence occupied by Rev. J. R. Brown,
burnt this morning. The fire originated in
the Hill House, and from present indica

is not much divided. The same building
has beeu fired twice before within a few
months.
Rev. W. II. Conrad, corresponding secre
tary of the Baptist general association of
Pennsylvania, in a paper just issued gives
the following astonishing figures: "The ag
gregate membership of all the evangelical
churches of Pennsylvania does not exceed
500,000. The entire population of the State
is about 4,500,000, from which it appears
that 4,000,000 souls may be perishing at our
doors for want of the bread of life. What
other State or Territory shows more alarm-
wig destitution or presents greater claims
uon the prayers and contributions of Chris
tian people living within our borders? and
how shall the 'regions beyond' be properly
cared for if we fail to supply the destitution
at home?"
The bill introduced into the Legislature
by Representative Colborn, authorizing the
Commissioners of the several counties of
this Commonwealth, UKn an order of the
court of Quarter Sessions, or in vacation of
a law judge thereof, to discharge from pris
on without the delay and expense of any
proceedings under the insolvent laws of
this Common wealth every convict who shall
have served out his or her term of imprison
ment, notwithstanding such convict shall
not have paid the costs of prosecution, etc.,
has passed third reading, and will, in all
probability, at an early day become a law,
as it should. It is the heighth of absurdity
to keep a prisoner confined for the payment
of costs that he cannot pay and at the same
time be increasing the costs daily.
The Hollidaysburg ReglAer writes this
trueisia: "It is easy to be nobody, and we
will tell you how to do it. Go to the drink
ing saloon to spend your leisure time. You
need not drink Riuch now; just a little beer
or some other drink. In the meantime play
dominoes, checkers, or something else to
kill time, so that you will be sure not to
read any useful books. If you read any
thing, let it be the dime novel of the day ;
thus go on, keeping your stomach full and
your head empty, and yourself playing
time killing games, and in a few years you
will be nobody, unless yon should turn out
a drunkard or a professional gambler, either
of which is worse than nobody. There are
any number of young men hanging about
saloons just ready to graduate and be no
liodies. The bill introduced into the House at
Hamsburg to establish the whipping post
for wife beaters has been negatively report
ed. In speaking of the measure the Altoo
na Triliutie voices our views exactly: "Kow
let the Iiegislature show its consistency by
passing a law prohibiting child beating in
home and school. If it is 'inhuman' and
not in accordance with 'the spirit of the
age' to give a cruel scoundrel who has a
habit of beating his wife a dose of his own
medicine, what is it to beat helpless chil
dren for real or fancied offences. It us be
consistent. If we are too humane to lash
the deserving back of the wife beaters let us
be humane enough to abolish the senseless
and unjustifiable practice of beating little
children for every trifling offense as is the
custom in too many homes and school.
Isn't the child as deserving of protection as
the brutal man?"
Mr. J. Calvert Spiller, son of the late Ed
ward M. Spiller, a gentleman prominently
connected with the interests of this city,
died yesterday at his residence, 43 Harlem
avenue, in the thirty-fourth year of his age.
He graduated at the Virginia Military In
stitute at Lexington in July, 1870, when
only twenty-one years of age. He took a
very high stand as an officer and student,
being particularly noted for his skill as a
tactician. Among his friends he developed
all the qualities of mind and heart, which
made a noble comrade. As a profession he
chose the field of a civil engineer, and im
mediately after graduation was prominently
connected with the survey of this city. He
was next engaged in the construction of the
long bridge at Washington, UKin the com
pletion of which he was engaged in the lo
cation of the Southern Maryland Railroad.
His last engagement was with the United
States Geologic Geographical surveys west
of the 100th meridian, under Lieutenant
George M. Wheeler. In this work Mr.
Spiller manifested in a pre-eminent man
ner his fitness for his profession, and re
mained with the expedition (survey) until
it was disbanded, during a period of nearly
five years. ' In the year 18S1 he contracted
for and built nine miles of the Somerset fc
Cambria Railroad, 'a branch'of the Balti
more & Ohio. His funeral will take place
on Wednesday next from the Eutaw Place
Baptist church. Dailimurt American.
A Brilli ant Weiiiko. One of the most
enjoyable occasions many of our people
have had the pleasure of participating in
for many days, was the marrfogs of Vr. E.
G. Crouje and, Miss Gertrude Crouse, at the
house o( tht bribe's brother-n-la w, M r. J. G.
Brown, on Tuesday evening, ilareu ann.
The ceremony was witnessed by a large cir
cle of friends and acquaintances of the hap
py couple. The guests began to assemble at
an earlv hour, and, in a short time the vari
ous apartments of Mr. Brown's residence
were filled with an expectant throng. At
the appointed time, 7 p, m,., thu bride and
groom made their apjiearance, and a breath
less silence' prevailed while the officiating
clergyman, Rev. J. F. Core, performed the
ceremony according to the rites of the
it. E. fhurcli. Tbe fair bji'de, beaut, jful' to
behold at ny lime, was doubly so $n the
rich, befitting garb in which she appeared
and expressions of ad in i rat (on were beard
on all sides. After the customary congratu
lations the happy couple led, the way into
the refreshment room, whefe a rich banquet
bai? been prepared, and Jt was truly a feast
of good, things. The collation was worthy
of the ocnuion, and all manifested their ap
preciation in thtt moat substantial manner.
Tbe bridal presents were numerous, and
most of them of rare value. Among them
were an elegant, sewing machine, a hand
some Bible, solid silver sets, plated spoons,
knives and forks, castor, parlor lamp, nap
kins, bed spreads, pillow shams, toilet seta,
and many other things we do not now re
call. In tbe early train the happy couple
left for the bridegroom's home, accompanied
by the best wishes of their many friends.

Eli .PebkiVi Wat. Eli Perkins does
not produce laughter by telling anecdotes.
He perpetrates his jokes directly upon his
audience. The audience do not go home
and tell how the speaker rehashed Charles
Lamb and Sydney Smith 'a old jokes, nor
how he described Thackeray's or Tom
Hood's humor, bat tkey tell how the jokes
of the speaker adsolutety happened they
and EU both being parties to them how he
surprised them with antithesis, paradox,
anti-cliiuax and extravagant statements,
and kepi them listening and laughing from
the beginning to the end. Now satire with
its hidden meaning, which the listener must
discover then the most absurd situations,
strange combinations of words, and under
neath all a iund of wisdom and sound sense.
The Perkins Family means the public, and
when Eli hammers and satirizes his own re
lations, his satirical darts are meant for the
humbugs and the humbnggery in society,
science and religion. Our people will have

Blst Times at "Suadilakd."
France, Canada, California, Montana, and
many other remote points north, fouth,
east and west have had representatives at
"Shadeland" within the past few days,
showing most conclusively that the world
at large is thoroughly appreciating the great
Live Stock Emporium of the Powell Broth
ers at Springboro, Pa.
To the large collections previously on
hand they have just added a magnificent
importation of over fifty head of choice an
imals, being determined to keep their stables
at all times ahead of all others in both size
and quality of collections in order that they
may always be prepared, as they ae now,
to suit all who may visit them desiring
choice stock.
Within a few days they have made and
are making shipments to Montana, Kansas,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Illin

Canada, etc., etc., and still the good work
goes on.
BrRoEss Colborb'e First Hearihq. Bur
gess Colborn took the oath of office Monday
morning, and Wednesday afternoon he held
his first pojice court. The offenders brought
before him were James Cummins, George
McMann and Henry Eskin. The former is
charged with committing an assault and ma
licious mischief, and the latter two with
committing an assault and canning con
cealed weapons. It appears, from evidence
produced at the hearing, that Eskin and
McMann made their appearance in Somerset
Wednesday morning, and soon attracted at
tention by offering for sale postage stamjis
at a very liberal discount. They also dis
posed of several new revolvers, neck-ties,
etc In the afternoon they fell in with
Cummins, and the three repaired to the
house of Mrs. Hass, a widow woman living
in the southern end of the borough, where
they behaved in a very reprehensible man
ner, one of them 'at one time showing a re
volver and threatening to shoot Mrs. Hass.
After considerable difficulty she succeeded
in getting rid of them, when she repaired
to the Burgess' office and made information
against them. In the meantime the parties
had left town, going towards Rockwood.
Warrants were issued for their arrest and
placed in tbe hands of Sheriff Spangler and
Policeman Gilbert, who took the 7 o'clock
train for Rockwood. On the way down
j they learned that the parties had last been
seen at the house of a woman named Zim
merman, several miles this side of Rock
wood. The conductor kindly stopped the
train near the house named, where the offi
cers found their men in bed, McMann and
Eskin having cocked revolvers in their
hands. They were quickly secured by the
officers and taken to Rockwood, where a
caboose and engine was placed at their dis
posal for the return trip. The officers arrived
here about midnight, and lodged their pris
oners in jail. After the hearing, in default
of five hundred dollars bail each, the Bur
gess committed them to jail to answer the
above named charges at the next term of
Court. At the time of the arrest there was
nothing of a suspicious nature found upon
the person of any of the prisoners, but it is
generally supposed that Eskin and McMann
did not come honestly by the postage stamps
and other articles which they sold, but that
they had been engaged in the robbery of
some of tbe stores in adjoining counties
which have recently taken place.
Respoksibilitt or Boroughs. Judge
White, at the session ef the court at Wash
ington, Pa., laid down the law in a case
showing the duty of city and borough au
thorities, as well as supervisors of road, iu
regard to keeping public thoroughfares in
safe condition for travellers, which is inter
esting throughout the State. The case was
that of Williams against Monongabaly City,
beingasnit for damages, Williams having
been injured by being thrown from his
sleigh, which had come in contact with a
pile of frozen dirt. The plaintiff was award
ed 13,000.
"Boroughs and cities are bound to keep
their streets in a reasonably safe condition
for travelers. They should not permit any
obstruction in the streets, or anything that
is likely to endanger the safety of travelers.
Persons wlio may wantonly place obstruc
tions in the street may also, under some
circumstances, be liable in damages for a
personal injury; but the borough or city is
liable where tbe city officials have actual
knowledge of its existence, or where it has
continued long enough to give tbem infor
mation, although they may not have actual,
knowledge of it. The neglect of a city to
keep its streets in such condition is called
in law negligence. If the dirt pile was some
nine feet from the curb stone in the street,
four feet in diameter at the base, and some
eighteen inches high, and had remained on
the street with the knowledge of the offi
cers of the city having charge of the streets,
from the 8th or 18th or 20th of December
until the l,st of February, I hare no hesi
tancy in saying the city was guilty of neg
ligence. The main question, however, in the case
is: Was the plaintiff guilty of contribury. !
negligence? Because, notwithstanding tv$
city may have been gtUl of negligence,
yet if the plaintilf was also guilty .of neg
ligence whicii contributed to tbe result, he
is not entitled to recover. While travelers
have a right to presume the street is clear
the entire width of it, yet they are bound
to keep their eyes about them, bound to
drve wi;h some degree of cart and, pru
dence, in consequence of these obstructions
that may exist. The degsee of care requir
ed of the traveler is a degree of care that
would be exercised by an ordinary prudent;
tr cautions man under the existing circum
stances. Kew Baltimore, April 9, 1883,

flitting abont, reminding one pf the good
time coming, when shade trees and the
fruits of the season can again be enjoyed.
J. M. Rudiger, chief .of a corps of engi
neers of the prospective Hamsburg and
Western Railroad, has been running a line
during tbe past week along the bottom, or
Ray stow n creek line through Xew Balti
more, following the stream and aiming for
Deeter's Gap. He expects to come back
next week and locate the road permanently.
Xinety feet to the mile is the steepest grade
to the Gap. He seems to make light of the
Ridge route.
Adam George, Fsq., aged eighty-five,
years, has been bedfast for tbe past few
weeks with a stroke of palsy, coupled with
other ailments. It was thought he would
not get well again, but he is now getting
stronger, and is able to be about some. It is
hoped this veteran Stalwart Republican
may live to see and help us elect the next
President, John A. Logan, of Illinois.
This burg is largely Democratic They
whistle lor Jacksouiunism and protection ;
but they, too, are lost, like some of our
weak-kneed Republicans have been of lute,
who got up a side-show to take in the un
wary. Hat the lwniocrats uon t uo Uiat ;
they stick to the party, if it is composed
largely of free traders.
Onr ever genial friend, Mr. Frank Topper,
has rented his fine large farm for a few sea
sons. He proposes to take the world easy
for awhile, and will do considerable travel
ing on business and pleasure.
Mr. Franklin Gillespie, late clerk in J. M.
Topper's store, goes on the road as a com
mercial agent for a Philadelphia grocery
firm.
Plowing for corn and oats was vigorously
pushed for several days last week.

Notice to the Citizers or Somerset Bob
ocuh. You are hereby notified to immedi
ately remove from in front or rear of all
dwellings and business blocks, old de
posits of ashes, dirt, coal, brick, or other
material or matter, and hereafter not to de
posit any of the same on the streets under
penalty of the borough ordinance. All per
sons having pavements that are in need of
repairs are hereby notified to repair the
same at once.
The heaith, beauty and comfort of the
town demand that these matters be attend
ed to at once, and all citizens interested in
having our streets clean and presenting a
neat appearance, besides having good
and comfortable side walks will, without
further notice, attend to this. All owners
of wagons,carts, etc., standing on the streets
are requested to remove tbe same.
By the ordinances of the town all ball
playing or gaming on the streets is prohib
ited, and all are notified that the ordinances
will be strictly enforced. Tbe youths of the
town, by the ordinances, are prohibited
from being on the streets at a later hour
than 8 P. M. without sufficient cause. Pa
rents are requested to see that their children
of tender years are at home, as great com
plaint has been made of the boys making
the nights hideous with their hollooing
and swearing, besides their occupying tbe
pavements so that at times ladies are com
pelled to go in the streets to get past. It
was ordered that the burgess strictly enforce
the ordinances in every particular.

Evert Tuesday.
The public are led to believe by certain
railroads that low rate tickets will be sold
and special trains run to the West aery
Tuetday. This is calculated to deceive par
ties contemplating a trip West, as by the
Pennsylvania Railroad you can go any day
in the week on fast express trains, and at
just as low rate as by any other route on
Tuesday. It is a well known fact that the
Pennsylvania Railroad is the direct route
between the East and the Great West, Par
ties contemplating a trip to Kansas, Color
ado, Nebraska, Xew Mexico, Dakota, or any
of the Western States or Territories, would
consult their own interest by calling on the
nearest agent of this Company lor maps,
time tables, etc., in which they will receive
full information, or by writing to Thomas
E. Watts, Tassenger Agent Western Dis
trict, Xo. 110 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh.

Marl, the best natural fertilizer known.

Young man, go West! But first of all go
to Heffley's, where you will find one bun
dred varieties to select from, and purchase a
trunk or valise.
