Mr. Emanuel Cover, of tfyestown Bor
ough, has been appointed by Charles L.
Webster & Co., the publishers of General
Grant's hook, " The Personal Memoirs oi C.
S. Grant," as sole agent for Somerset. Jenuer,
Quemaboning and Coneraaugh Townships,
and the Boroughs therein. Persons desiring
to purchase Gen. Grant's book should make
note of this, as there are s number of
agents at work in this territory selling a
book with an almost similar title-page,
which is often palmed off as Gen. Grant's
book. His Personal Memoirs will not
be published until some time in Xovem'
' ber or December, and in tbe meantime Mr
Cover expects to call on everybody living in
the territory named, in order to give tbem a
chance to subscribe. Don't be deceived into
buying worthless trasu, but be sure to ge'
tbe "Old Commander's"

The new well in the Court-house yard, in
its present condition, is a dead failure, and
the con tractors should not receive one penny
from the County Commissioners until they
fulfill their contract to the letter. The well
was drilled to a depth of two hundred and
7 feet when a pump was put in,
akn . Il.;. .t n 1m hm irlt)w,ltM
the
whole thing costing in the neighborhood of
four hundred dollars. AS it stands it is
practically of no value, and only defaces and
spoils the appearance of the beautiful
grounds. It requires two men to work the
pump, and then they have to work like a
" demnatiou old cart horse in a demnation
old cart" before they can force a weak,
sickly flow of water from the nozzle. The
water has an nnpleasent taste, which we are
told is due to tbe piping, which it is alleged
was not put in according to contract. To
accept tbe job" from the contractors and pay
for it as it stands, would be an iniquitous
waste uf tbe people's money.
"Grant's Memorial : what shall it be""' is
discussed in the September number of tbe
Xorlh American JJerifar. by Launt Thompson,
Karl Gerbardt, O. L. Warner, and Wilson
McD-mald, sculptors ; W.H Beard, painter;
Calvert Vacx and Henry Van Brunt, archi
tects; and Clarence Cook, art critic. This
symposium is sure to attract wide attention
at this time, when the desire U so general to
erect a monument to Grant th.it shall be
worthy of tbe man, tbe world and American
art. Tbe same nnniber contains a consider
ation of the question, "Shall our National
Banking System be abolished ?" by George
S. Bout well, F. J. Scott, 8. Dana Ilarton,
and Edward H. G. Clark. "Oui da" contrib
utes an essay on "The Tendencies of Eng
lish Fiction,' and Elizabeth Stuart Pl;el
writes on "Tbe Great Psychical Opportuni
ty." But the most readable article in the
number is ex-Sergeant-at-Arms French's
"Reminiscences of Famous Americans,"
which is a series of delightful anecdotes
about the famous war senators. Mr. French
is writine a book ot these rcminiM-ences. If
it equals this forestallment in the Review, it
will be one of the famous works of modern
literature. .

William J. Miller, of Quemaboning Twp.

vices beinc conducted by Rev. Plotz, of

the Church an earnest and faithful member.
He was a great but patient sufferer for tbe

Some young men and boys from the vi
cinity of Jenner X Roads, who attend tbe
meetings at our churches, are in the habit
of conducting themselves in a very unbe
coming manner. They usually come on
horseback, wait until tbe crowds have start
ed away, then mount their steeds and follow
at a full trot or gallop, riding through the
crowds in a most reck let manner. , When
remonstrated with they become very abu
sive, saying the road is for people to travel
on, and walkers must take care of them
selves. The parents of these boys had bet
ter teach them how to conduct themselves,
lest tbey be turned over to the hands of the
Court, and there be taught tbe laws relating
to travel on the public highway.
An Agent from the C. S. Signal Service
office visited Somerset last week for the pur
pose of establishing a signal service station
at this place. If the Borough .Authorities,
or tbe people of the community will furnish
the signal flags the telegrams announcing
the expected changes in temperature will be
sent here free of charge. By this plan
warnings of the approach of a cold wave or
any sudden change in temperature are giv
en to the public from twenty-four to forty
eight hours in advance of their arrival. By
! tbe term "cold wave" is understood a sud
den and decided fall in temperature, as wben
the temperature falls from fifteen to thirty
degrees or more, within a very short time.
During the season of vegetation tbe cold
wave flag will only be hoisted when the
tola perat are is expected to fall to a point in
dicating frost. On many occasions the un
expected arrival of these sadden changes in
temperature has proved very disastrous to
the interests of persons engaged in agricul
ture, stock farming, shippers of perishable
and others, and the purpose of the
Chief Signal office in sending ont these
warnings is hat persons engaged in all in-
dmuriea liable to be affected by cold weather
or sudden changes in temperature may
be enabled to taae the proper precau
tions necessary to protect their - inter -
est by being informed ia ample time of
the coming cold waves, which it is possible
for the service to pre lict with great acCTi
racy. The fines required are seven in nu
ber, not less than six feet sqoara, and the
following colors: White flag with large red

The report ef tbe department of agricul
ture, embracing statistics received np to
August 1, is made public, and tbe substance
of the report is herewith given.
Cora. This crop has made improvement
since tbe last report. The average stands
four points lower than the standard of full
condition, and indicates a yield with season
able moisture and Ctvoring temperature
hereafter, of twenty-six to twenty-seven
bushels per acre. The average for August
ot 1SS, was the same, but fell three points
during the sixty days following, wben the
yield was twenty-six bushels. In 1979 the
average for August was 99, and the ultimate
yield as reported by the census was twenty
eight bushels. The increase has been two
points in Kew Yore; three m Virginia;
North Carolina, one; Georgia, two; Ala
bama, one; Michigan, Eye; Illinois, four;
Missouri, two ; Kansas, seven : Nebraska,
three, and Iowa, nine. There has been a
slight decline in Pennsylvania, Maryland,
South Carolina,TenneaM3e, Texas, Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana, In the seven corn ear
plus States, tlie averages are : Ohio, 9S ; In
diana. S3 ; Illinois, !M ; Iowa, 101 : Kebras
ga, 100 ; Missouri, S9 ; Kansas, 80. Corres
pondents report drought in some places, ex
cess of rain in others, bat well drained and
deeply cultivated hind has suffered little
from drought or supersatu ration. Meteor
ological conditions have been generally fa
vorable. The prosq-ect has not leen exceed
ed since 1).
Wlunl.-TUe moit and hot weather fol
lowing the loth of July has caused much
uaiuage to spring wheat iu tha northwest,
mainly in Wisconsin and Minnesota. While
generally noticed, its effects are variously
reported, prominent counties returning from
100 down to 85, and in a few cases down to
GO, and to 48 in the case of Tierce county.
Wisconsin. Most of the great wheat coun
ties in Minnesota report averages srom 75 to
00 though Dodge returns only 50. Some ot
less importance make an average of 100.
The reduction in prospective yield is great
est in Minnesota, amounting to nine points.
The decline is five in Wisconsin, four in
Iowa and one in Dakota. There is an in
crease in the other Territories and in New
England. The average decline ie lour
points, and indicates a rrduetion of 6,ou0.
Ouu bushels from the expectation on the 1st
of July. No reports concerning theresult of
threshing of winter wheat are received ex
cel in tbe south. In Texas the outcome is
greater than was expected, and higher rates
of yield are reported.
OWirr Crow. The averfifre for oats has de
clined from 97 to iX, which is four )ioints
higher than in August of last year. Rye
averages 94, showing continued improve?
tuent since the 1st of July. Barley stands,
as in the last report, at t'2, which indicates
about an average crop for any series oi five
or ten years. There is au increase in the
area of buckwheat, and coudition average
IS. A medium crop of bay is assured by
tbe average of Oi. Tolmcco makes a general
average of 31. Tlie average for potatoes is
95. against 'J7 l:t-t month.

Tlie sinking of a test well for oil, etc., on

When a Republican President left Wash
ington during tbe heated and sickly season,
it used to be called "official junketing" and
"shameful neglect of tlie pnblic business.'"
Cleveland has reformed it all, and what a
year ago was denounced as a "National
disgrace" has auddenly become honorahle.
It U these 'iltle Democratic editors that did
it with their little pens. They seem to think
that drover ai:er live months of hard labor
deserves a "vacation'' fur "junketing" and
"much needed rtst" for "shameful neglect
of the public buainess" is Democratic reform
pure and simple. That fi rover is overwork
ed may be true, but it is his own party that
did it. Tbe work done by Cleveland is
nothing in comparison with that performed
by some of his predecessors. Outside of tbe
unusual herd of office seekers, he has had
but comparatively little to do. ' His diligent
search to find Republican rascals, and only
finding offensive iartians may have neces
sitated a vacation.
The report of the committee appointed by
the Court to investigate the accounts, etc, of
of the Poor House, is being read with some
interest That the report is a little too much
after the order of special pleading in behalf
of the petition can clearly ne seen, yet there
are some things that need an explanation
very badiy, and it is to be hoped that it will
be promptly made by those interested, es
pecially for the Jyear 1SS3. That directors
cannot, under the law, become contractors
with themselves to furnish supplies or erect
buildings, etc, is generally understood, but
that they are not allowed to receive more
than t-"J per annum, the amount of their
salary, is not so apparent It would not be
right to have them traveling over the coun

their own expenses, free of charge to the
county. The salary of $o0 per annum is
doubtiess intended to pay them for services
at their regular meetings. It is to be hop-d
when all the facts are made known, that the
shortage of $1 1)1.43 will be greatly dimin
ished. An early reply from the parties iu- j
tereated is desired. j
Mr. Dennis Meyers has been here hicating !
lots, etc., and it is said that, hereafter, lots
will be sold at reasonable rates. This is
good news for our pecplc, who have been
wishing for such an event toVranspire for a
long time, as lots have been held at too high
a figure in the past It is said that some
valuable lots have recently been sold, and
that the parties buying them are going to
build upon them at once. This is unques
tionably the natural outlet for a very large
scope of country, extending into the Slates
of Maryland and Wt Virginia, and Con
fluence is destined to make the largest town
in this end of tbe county. It is now the
largest shipping station between Cumber
land and Connellsville, on the Salto. and
Ohio Railroad. The I'pper Yongh Valiey,
which abounds in minerals, etc . must pour
its products through this natural channel,
and receive its supplies through the same.
Tbe surrounding towns away from the rail
road, receive their supplies from this sia-
tion. A roller flouring mill is now lit con
templation. Tbe Balto. and Ohio Land Im
provement Company have secured about
20,010 acres of land lying in Garrett county.
Md.. and Preston county, W. Va., which
they intend to develop, knowing that it will
furnish an immense traffic for their road, all
of which will come down the Yough Valley,

Tnt Sot th Fuss. A
tcleeram receireJ
from Harrisburg Satuiday, says ; "It is con
fidently asserted in semi-official circles that
tbe Attorney -General of tbe Commonwealth
wiil interpose to prevent the consummation
of the bargain between Mr. Vanderbilt and
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by
which the South Pennsylvania and Beach
Creek RailroaiU come under tbe control of
tbe Pennsylvania Railroad. Section 4 of
Article XVII of tbe Constitution specifically
prohibits the consolidation or merger of

legislation was necessary to make the pro

that have elapsed since the adoption of the

refused to adopt the appropriate legislation

dey Ceoeaal U1 adopt will reach the jtiea-!
tion, not withstanding tlie failare of the Ig-j
islatare l adit (he '
appropriate U-gisla-
tion.
The South Pennsylvania and Beach Creek
roads were chartered by the State since th
consequently became amenable to its pro
hibitory clauses without additional legisla
tion. Those shareholders in the two corpo
rations to be absorbed will apply to tbe At
torney General for a mandamus to prohibit
the uisjirrity of the sbareowners from dU
poking of (be fiancbhea granted to the roatU
iu that way. and the AUuruey General will
rule in their favor ud ak tbe Governor to
revoke the charters.
The best lawyers express the belief that
this course will defeat Mr. Vanderbill's
scheme, and compel him to proceed with tbe
work of building the road or forfeit his in
terest amounling to something like five
million dollars."
The rilbiburgh Vkrontrie of Sat urday pub
lishes an interview with Dr. Hostetter, in
which be states Franklin B. Gowen has ca
bled his protest to tbe Vanderbilt sale oi the
Sooth Peunsylvaut Road. It further states
that uvwen will take charge of and fight
against the sale, and that the report that An
drew Carnegie has given his proxy, to Van
derbilt is nntroe. ' " T'.J
Tbe CkrmicU also publishes ;be follow
ing : Eyen though the Sooth Pennsylvania
Railroad may have been sold by Mr. Van
dernUt and the goods delivered as far as his
ability to deliver went, the deal may yet be
npset very day new hope is gained by
those who are opposing the sale, and acces
sions to their forces have been freqnent and
important It has been said that Franklin
B. Gowen would unite his fortunes and his
$100,000 subscription with Vanderbilt's,
This is without foundation. Mr. Gowen
cabled to Mr. Twombley that he wished to
enter his formal protest against tbe sale;
and that no sale could be made until every
Slock holder was satisfied and agreed to the
terms. He demanded that formal notice of
his protest should be sent to each of the ex
ecutive committee, composed of Mesors.
Twombley, W. K. Vanderbilt, Dimmick,
Hosteller and one other.
Dr. Hostetter received Lb formal notice of
Gowen's protest, and said : " Mr. Gowen is
tbe best posted railroad lawyer in the coun
try. . His protest will have great weight
With such a man to assist us we can expect
to make a fight which wiil win. Mr.
Gowen's protest is very emphatic and clear,
and there is no mistake.
"Has Mr. Camegie really joined his forces
with VanderbUtr'
"They claim that he has, but I do not be
lieve it I hare been unable to obtain any
definite information as to what Mr. Car-1
negie will do. I doubt very much whether,
he w ill act with Mr. Vanderbilt, and if he
does not it will give us a combined interest :
which will amount almost to a control. It
will be difficult to refuse the claims of so
large a minority." Mr. A. A. Barker and
others interested in tbe riglit-ot-way grant
have been in consultation with you. Will
they combine their interests with yours?"
"Yes, I think they will. Our interests
are all tbe same and we want tha road built.
We have not settled uxn tbe plan of oar
suits, nor exactly what form tbey take.
There is a great deal to be considered and
arranged before suits are brought"
Fowza of the State. It is pretended by
tbe advocates of monopoly that there is no
power in the people of Pennsylvania to en
force the provisions of their organic law for
bidding such conspiracies as that which is
now in process Of consummation between
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and Win. II.
Vanderbilt If this were tree, then the Con
stitution of Pennsylvania, aJupted in
173, was adopted to little purpose, andthe
peogde of this great State are indeed in a
helpless condition. But those who make
the assumption concerning the feebleness of
the people in the presence of corporate ag
gression nave not considered tl:e latent
powers which reside in the organic law of
Pennsylvania. The Coii.-litution declares:
"Tbe exercise of the right ot eminent do
main shall never be abridged or so construed
as to prevent tbe General Assembly from
taking the property and franchises of incor
porated companies and subjecting them to
public use, tbe same as the property of in
dividuals ; and the exercise of the public
power of the State shall never be abridged
or so construed as to permit corporations to
conduct their butoness in such mauuer as to
infrige the equal rights of individuals or the
general well-beiug of tbe Slate."
These are tbe great powers which lie be
hind the provisions of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania in restraint of encroachments
of railroad corporations. Subject to these
powers the charter uf the South Pennsyl
vania Railroad was granted. I'nder the
charter, and in the exercise of the privilege
of eminent domain conferred by the State,
tlx company entered upon tbe lands of tbe
people along the route of the railroad and
appropriated them to its use. That charter,
which was granted by the Legislature in the
good faith of the Commonwealth for tne
purpose of constructing a line ot railroad,
is in process of perversion trom the original
design, and has become justly subject to for
feilure under the above power, which is in
herent in the people. When an individual
attempts with his property to defeat some
necessary public enterprise tbe State appro
priates it in the exercise of the power of em
inent domain. How much greater the ne
cessity for the enforcement of this power
when a corporation acting in bad faith to
vard the people seeks to defeat the purpos
es of its grant!
This great power has been lying dormant
because no great occasion bas arisen for its
exercise. For the first time since the adop
tion of the new Constitution is agigantic at
tempt made to convert the franchises of a
railroad corporation to purposes hostile to
the conditions of tbe grant. For tbe first
time is it necessa7 to invoke the police
power of the Commonwealth so that a cor
poration which the legislature has called
j into being shall not infringe "the equal
I rights of individnals or the well-being of the
j State " The Pennsylvania Railroad Man-
agers may tcnclmle this'bargain.with Van
I drrlilt, but they should be warned in time
that tiiey are getting poesesnion of a charter
which is forfeited under tbe Constitution of
the Commonwealth from the moment it
falls into their hands. Vanderbilt and bis
family may carry eff their share of tbe plun-
uer 01 iuis conspiracy, um 11 win Decome j
the duty of the next legislature of Penn- j
sylvania to declare the forfeiture of the ;
charter of tbe South Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and to take possession of tbe prop
erty and franchises of the corporation. In
declaring this forfeiture it will be necessary
to legislate so as to annul all tbe pretended
privileges acquired ia the conspiracy with
Vanderbilt, as well as to protect the rights
of the stockholders who are acting in good
faith toward the conimsn wealth anl are de
sirous of accomplishing tbe objects of tbe
charter. It will be tbe fault of tbe parties to
this conspiracy if the latent bnt tremendous
power of the Constitution of Pennsylvania
is summoned into exercise,' and they
should not complain when brought intocon
tact with its sharpest spikes. Tbey have
ample warning of the danger wpon which
they are rnnning nilnUfyhUi Hoard.
