Mr. Win. H. PlaU has a new combination
well box and bucket that is ahead of any
thing ever offered here. The bucket is bal
anced by a weight on the opposite end of
the chain that makes it so eay to work that
any child can draw water. The bucket fills
trom the bottom, and is emptied by an auto
malic valve which saves the trouble of hand
ling it. There is no wooden or iron stock
to impregnate the water. Mr. Piatt placed
one in the well on Ed. B. 6cull's property last
week, where it can U examined by parties
interested. Don't fail to see the "tjueeu ot

Did the young boys, and those of larger
growth, who make, a habit of standing on
the street corners after night and squirting
tobacco juice, often staining the clothing of
passers-by, ever stop to think bow utterly
mean and contemptible they were making
themselves? Complaint has been frequent
ly made to as by ladies who have bad
handsome dresses completely ruined by
having tobacco juice expectorated on them
while passing along the streets. We can
scarcely conceive of any one being so, base
and degraded as to intentionally do a thing
of this kind, but it is almost as bad to do it
through carelessness.

A most horrible accident occurred near
Fritz's church, in Brothersvalley township,
last Tuesday, in which two sons of Mrs.
Mary Yoder met their death. They were
engaged in digging a well on the premises.
The one who went down first recognized the
presence of foul air and shouted to those
above to draw him np. He was lifted as
rapidly as possible, but was overcome before
reaching the anrface, and fell out of the
bucket to the bottom ol the well, breaking
his neck. The other brotherwent to his as
sistance and was overcome by the gas and
killed. The bodies were recovered with
difficulty and were interred at Fritz's church
Wednesday. " '
At the Adjourned Court held on Monday
last, the Court made an order disposing of
the Poor Board Investigation Committees
Report as follows :
"And now 24th August, 1885, upon due
consideration of the foregoing report the
same is ordered to be riled, and entered of
record as no fixed compensation has been
provi.led by law for services o the visitors,
the Court do now in view of the character of
the labor bestowed, fix the compensation at
$-.5) per diem, writh mileage at 3 cents per
mile circular and also decree the payment
of the expenses stated in the bill viz.: lt).;5."
The total number of days served was 116.
which at $2.50 per day would be $20 ; the
number of miles charged is 77, which at
S cents would be 123.28 ; this together with
the $10.25 provided for in the decree makes
the total cost of the Committee $523.53.

saoak. The last of the series of excursions
to the seashore, which have proven of such
value to the people of this section during
the summer, will be run by the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company on Thursday, August
27 tu. All who have not availed themselves
before of this excellent opportunity to take
a flying trip to the shore, should grasp this,
the last chance. This is really the choicest
period of the season, and ten daye passed
now under the reviving influences of sea
baths and ocean air will be of the greatest
benefit to those who have worked through
the heat and burden of the summer. Pleas
are seekers, too, will find everything, they
could desire" in the way of amusement.
There are more people both at Cape May
and Atlantic City than there have been at
any time this season, and the gayety and
life of the coast reaches its highest point in
3
the latter days of August. No one coul
choose a more agreeable time nor a liveli
one for a vacation trip to the seaside. Ex-1
cursion tickets good for ten days, for use
going only oo special train and to return by J
any regular train within the limit will be
sold, as heretofore, from the stations follow
ing at the rates quoted, and the special will
run on the schedule attached : Leave Johns
town at 11:18 A. at., fare $9.2i ; Cumber
land. 8.40 a. fare $8:50 ; Bedford, 10:15
a. x., flue $8.50. Train arrives in Philadel
phia at 7:50 r. at. Excursionists can spend
the night and proceed to the shore by any
regul ar train of the following day. Bear in
mind that this is the last of the low rate
excursions.
(The followiiax fmtu theGonnellsville Cu
rirr will poiot Bnt read with the great
est amount ut sUaure by tose who felt
aggrieved by the strictures the Hckald pass
ed upon the gallant Colonel Cope land oo the
occasion of his lecturing here last winter.
The Hixald took theCol.'s measure at the
time and sized him up right, as usual :
"Colonel L. F. Copeland, the lecturer.who
has appeared before audiences in this and
snrrcmnding counties, to their delight, as he
b both witty and eloquent, has come to
grief. He was discovered in the room of a
lady at the Logan House, Altoona, who had
registered as "Mrs. Marian Ilowley, Phila
delphia." Mrs. Rowley and the Colonel bad
arrived at Altoona on thesame train. They
bad excited the suspicions of the hotel at
taches by their actions, and so strong did
these suspicions become in the mind of th
night clerk that he made a visit to the Col
onel's room after he had retired, and lound
it empty. Then with the night watchman
he proceeded to the room that had neen as
signed the lady and demanded admittance.
He was admitted after some delay and found
the lady in a state of considerable agitation
and seemingly alone. The quick eye of the
clerk noticed that a wardrobe in the room
had been moved out of position and on
looking behind it discovered the abashed
Colonel. " - i - - '
He explained his presence by saying that
the lady was sick, and that he had been
called to give her some medicine. As this
errand would not necessitate hiding behind
a wardrobe the clerk did not recognize the
Colonel in his capacity as a philanthropic
physician, and invited him to leave the
bouse. He delivered a similar order to the
lady, and the pair betook themselves to the
Central Hotel. The next morning they
took the train for Tyrone. Colonel Cope
land baa a wife living in Harrisburg. The
last time we remember seeing the dashing
Colonel was at the Sunday-school conven
ient here last June, where he discoursed so
eloquently on the methods of teaching
Sunday-school classes the "Word." His
audience on that occasion will probably ap
ply the common proverb to the Colonel's
ease, ' Example ia better than precept," and
yet the Colonel's example wasn t.

By reference to the issue of the HrsALDof
the 12th inst it will be seen that the Crm-
mrrckd errs as nsnal, as in that issue there
was nothing said in regard to the proposed
series of games. Sometime early in July, af
ter the Junior club of this place bad - well
rubbed down " the Meyersdale nine we pub
lished a challenge, at the request of the
Railroad nine. Ko attention was paid to
this challenge until the Junior nine of this
place bad again "well rubbed down" the
Meyersdale nine, this time on their own
grounds. The day that the Meyersdale nine
were " well rubbed down" on their own
grounds, A the close of the g iw, several
gentlemen of Meyevadalar and members of
their last year's club, waited on the local ed
itor of the Hebald and informed him that
though tbey had no organization this year.
they were willing to accept the challenge
published in the Hebald providing a series
of five games would be played, two at Som
erset, and three at Meyersdale. Shortly af
ter this the .Secretary of the Railroad nine
wrote the Secretary of the Meyersdale nine.
challenging them to play about the 15th of
August. To their challenge no reply was
vouchsafed. The challenge was repeated
last week for a game on Friday. A rn em
ber replied that as five of their players were
ont of town he could not say whether they
wonld be able to plav, but should they de
cide to-play.- tfiey wwild telegraph their de
cision Thurttlaf cenintf ;'
The writer also stated that tbey had ao or
ganization this year and that tbey Would
only be able to play one game which would
have to decide the championship. This was
backing down with a vengeance. Late
Thursday evening a telegram was received
by the "Railroaders" from Meyersdale say
ing they would play the following morning.
Of course this absurd proposition conld not
be accepted, as all of tbe "Railroaders" are
engaged In active business, and would have
to make arrangements several day ahead
to get away, besides arranging for a special
train on the Railroad, etc Upon receiving
the telegTam they at once replied that the'
game wouM have to be . deferred. Where-1

i.,..- ,,JW J,tir of the Sn-
- "
preme Court, hes; written a letter to the
Philadelphia Pre in "which he declares the
purchase of the South Pennsylvania hy that
company unconstitutional, and that there is
no possible way in which the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company can 'control' the South
Penn. He cites the constitution and de
cisions of the courts. He says the attempt
is against public interest and fall of danger
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
He premises his article by saying : "1 am a
pretty large stock holler in tbe Pennsyl
ia Railroad Company and have not a cent
of interest in the South Penn, and notwith
standing, J. am decidedly of the opinion that
the so called purchase the it in from what
it may) is a high banded wrong upon the
people." He believed the courts will pro
nounce the sale illegal and ullsz xira. .
.The Oulide HcraU says: All work was
topped on Friday evening at tbe west end
of Kittatinny, second tunnel, anderbut
ro-id. Mr. Sayre, chief engineer of the South
Pennsylvania, lasted along the line on rri-
day afternoon, and, while he did not order
contractors Evans s, Ackerman to suspend
work entirely, he advised a reduction of
force until the negotiations concerning the
sale of the road to the Pennsylvania rail
road are settled. Acting on this, the con
tractors decided to quit work at the west
end. Mr. Siyre said that the chances were
nine to one in favor of the abandonment ol
the entire work in a very short time. By
the suspension of work at this tnd of Kit-
tatmnv 1-50 men are thrown out of employ
ment. They were paid oft in full on Satur
day. Thecw York aiued-ict was the ha
ven for which all started. This end has
been driven 1070 feet and the other end of
of the sarpe tunnel more than 2I0.I feet ;
scarcely 800 feet yet remain between the
heading. Work is still going on at the east
end and also at both sides of Bine Moun
tains, but it is being pushed with reduced
forces and in a half-hearted way.
Should work on the South Pennsylvania
Road be abandoned, the waste in time and
money would be appalling. The construc
tion of the road has already occupied a num
ber ot years and has necessitated the expen
ditureof$5,500,C00. The road ia in a fair
way to speedy completion, if tbe work on it
continues. The work is now progressing on
themiddle part of the route on the moun
tain ranges, where most of the time and
money have been spent. Across in Fulton
county there is a series of seven magnificent
tunnels being constructed. Tbey are great
engineering feata. Four of them are com
pleted and three are building rapidly.
About 4ft) men are at work on the tunnels
and the cuts. ' , '
Contracts almost for $3,0u0,0t more of
work are out. which will raise the cost of
the road to more than .'.000,0'JO. with
onlvhalfofit built. To wholly complete
it, a further expenditure of $7,O00OM will
be needed, raising the cost to $15,000 00.
But one extensive bridge Is necessary, and
that is over the Susquehanna river. The
piers and abutments for it have been built

died at his residence in Johnstown on
Thursday morning. August :Wth, at 8
o'clock. His- health failed about one year
ago, from the effects of overwork. As the
Cambria Iron-works grew, Mr. Morrell made
a practice of holding a mastery of the de
tails of the bnsiness as complete as when
the establishment was In its infancy. The
strain became too great and he gave way
physically, and it is said, mentally. For a
year past he has been unable to attend to
any business of the company, and was con
fined closely to his residence. His death
was quiet, life passing away without a
struggle.
The Hon. Daniel Johnson Morrell was
born in Berwick Township, York County,
Maine, August 21, Ut!l. In 1SJ7. when in
bis lSlh year, Mr. Morrell came to I'hiladel-
tthiaand entered the employ of the whole
sale dry goods firm of w hich his brother Da
vid was a member. He remained as a clerk
with Trotter, Morrell dc Co.until 182, when
be and his brother succeeded to the busi
ness. In 1S44 the store was removed to
New York, but Daniel i. returned the next
year to enter the dry goods home of Oliver
Martin, with whom he eventually became
associated as a partner. '
In 1S45 he married Suan L., daughter of
Powell Stack bouse, of the Society of Friends.
In 1854, the Cambria Iron Company having
failed, at the meeting of the creditors he was
appointed chairman of tbe committee to
visit tlie works, after whose report an effort
was made to reorganize. ; Upon the failure
of this attempt a company was formed'
which leased the works for five years and
Mr. Morrell was chosen resident manager.
Through his efforts the institution was suc
cessful, the lease being extended two years
to 13)10, and a new company organized in
1802. Mr, Morrell continued in charge un
til his death. '
In I860 he was elected to Congress, and re
elected in 18CS." During his first term be
was chairman of the standing Committee on
Manufactures, which chairmanship lie re
tained until his retirement, four years later.
He was also a member of the Committee on
Freedmen and the Pacific Railroad and the
Select Committee on' tbe Decline of Ameri
can Commerce. In 1870 be again ran for
Congress, bnt was defeated by a snialf ma
jority through the defections in Hunting
don county. " " '
Mr. Morrell introduced tbe bill to provide
for the 100th aniversary of American inde
pendence. " The bill' became a law princi-
pally through his persistent advocacy. His
efforts were recognixed by Got. Geary, who
appointed him commissioner for Pennsyl-
van ia, and by bis colleagues, who offered
him tbe presidency ef the body. This, how
ever, he declined, bnt accepted the chair
manship ofTuf Executive Committee, a tx
eitioo of more arduous duties, and in which
he contribnted largelr to tie taceem of tbe j
Exposition. He also attended tbe Fans i
Exposition in 1878, as a commissioner from
the Tnited States.
Mr. Morrell was an earnest Protectionist,
and for many years President of the Iron
and Steel Association, which hia failinf;
health compelled him to reaiim last De
cember. ' :.-'...'.".'...
Admsok, Pa, Aw. 21. 13.
Editor Kfumenk Hbau : The question
of a new jail, tbe repair of tbe old one, or
neither, seems now to be agitatinf tbe minds
of many iiersons, and among those is one
who fills a certain position not at Sotuer
set wh., were the iwwarinii of brains an
otfense at criminal law would be declared
innocent by any jury on earth ; even a
Fayette county jury would fail to convict.
What is a jail ? Webster says, " A prison ; j
a building or place for the confinement of j
persona arreted for debt or for crime, and
held in custody.' The presumption of law I
is that every person accused of crime is In
nocent until he is proven to be guilty
Tben, if a person be presumed innocent,
why inflict on him needless tortures whilst
he it awaiting trial T Persona confined in
jail belong to two classes those awaiting
trial, and those under sentence for minor
Crimea or misdesaeaiior. They may still
further be classified as those who are charg
ed with the eoavcuiMion of bailable offenses,
bat who have tailed to obtain bail, or se
curity ; aad those charged with offenses so
grave ia their character as to exclude the
possibility of bail tor one so charged. But
let it be borne in mind that the unbailable
character of tha offense has nothing what
ever to do wfth the guilt or innocence of the
prisoner ; in other words, the presumption
of Innocence lies for alt crimes whatever,
from the lowest to the grayest, in the calen
dar, until Kuilt is proven. Another classifi
cation may be male and female, or old and
young prisoners." .
What kind of a jail has Somerset county?
I presume this jail is the worst in the state.
It is a brick building the " pen " for pris
oners and tbe home of the sheriff are all
n ti, ..ma flnnr. Whatever naapea in the
pen can ordinarily he heard in the sheriff's
"V. na
There is no tcewrity.
because escaties are numerous. Une man is
in confinement in the jail to-day, unless he j
has been released very recently, who bases- ,
raped three times; had he not loved hisj
wife, he would have been a free man long
ago. I only mention this to show that there
can be no security in such a jail as that at
Somerset. Some persons think, at least they
say and try to convince the people of the
county, that the building of a new jail will
be a great thing for Somerset borough, and
that the people of that borough want the
new jail. Certainly they want it, and they
want it because they know the defects of the
present apology for a prison better than any
one else in the county. The commissioners
of Somerset county should be indicted for
maintaining a nuisance if they do not take
steps to change the prison management, and
that soon.
I recently visited this so-called jail, on one
of my periodical visits to Somerset, and here
it what I saw : The pen for the confinement
of prisoners is on the same floor as the sher
iff's dwelling, and is entered by a door lead
ing into said dwelling, by means of a door
ia which is cut a square opening, about a
foot square, which opening, by tbe way.
was tried as a means of escape during Sher-.
iff Spangler's term, and almost successfully
rnside is merely a large, dreary room, insuf
ficiently lighted, and pervaded by a smell
lice that of the " Valley of Hinnom "or
worse and in this stench prisoners are ex
pected to live, and to eat, and to becheerful.
There'is no separate apartment for women.
This alone wonld bavecondeaiued this pris
on pen anywhere in the civilized world,
other than in Somerset county. It is con
demned by everyone except a few hide
bound individuals who, while they pay no
taxes, are yet ever howling about the bur
dens of taxation, and a very few others who
howl about the desires of Somerset people,
whei hut for the kindness of Somerset peo
ple some of them would have been in their
graves. In the penitentiary or in an asylum
for the insane, long years ago. There ia no
means of separating prisoners awaiting tri
al from those under sentence. All writers
on tbesorject of Prison Economy condemn
such, 'an; 'arrangement. Mere children mutg
be locked np in the same room, wittt har
dened old criminals whose day of grace was
long since sinned away, and wno now look
forward to nothing on earth, or after it, men
with damnation written all over them. No
writer on Prison Economy fails to denounce
such a course.
There is a single closet which does duty
for all the prisoners ; there is no socu thing
as privacy in such an infernal pen as this
The soil-pipe U inefficient: becomes clogged,
fills np, and the Sheriff most work for hours
to open it. Imsgine a water closet in bad
condition 'placed in one corner of your
dining-room, and you have the situation
exactly. So tar as I know, no effort is made
to disinfect these soil-pipes. Xo disinfect
ants are used. Germs of disease are scatter
ed abroad.1 Fherift Winters' fanuly have

tfue in bis family. It may not seem deli-
Jrcate to make such allusions, but tbey must
be made, to give folks wbo have never seen
this ren a fair understanding ol the horrors
of tbe Somerset jail. There is no means of
taking exercise by the ' prisoners. Strong
men, used to a life in tfie open air, are loes
ed up in this pen, and come into court pale
shadows of what tliey were sixty days be
fore. The cells are a mere aixdopy for cells.
An inner partition has been built ; a plat
form, not more than three feet wide placed
along it, at the height of about ten, or per
haps of fifteen feet from the floor, doors
have been put in, other partitions out
through, and a series of little, hot, stifling
rooms have been formed, one of these rooms
being next to the water closet mentioned
above : in fact, the water closet is merely a
cell specially fitted. The condition of the
! air in this cell may be imagined. A narrow
slit cut in th wall is the sole means of ven
tilation in each of the cells and if the pris-
! oner wishes the window closed he may be

about four days in the month of July, year

' This jail is a nuisance.
r.A:H ,,r
Certain ortices of
county officials are almost untenable,
through stench. Persons who live near the
jail are annoyed at all hours of the lay and
night from the aaiue cause. Hon. Wm. II.
Koontx's residence is rendered uncomforta
ble at all times, and after a rain, in sum
mer, the atmosphere becomes absolutely
sickening. Col. Ed. Scull's residence suf
fers the same auuoyauce, though to a less
extent, owing to greater distance. . The new
school building. I doubt not, is similarly
annoed, though I cannot say, as when in
Somerset I failed to see principal Holbert, in
order that I might inquire. " ' '
Xow bear in mind, Mr. Taxpayer, that
this purgatory is tor the confinement of nien
who are presuaied to be i innocent of any
wrong in the matters charged against them.
Bear in niiod further, that your son or your
den(.bter, nr your sister may at some time
be an inhabitant of this place, nay, you
yourself may be. Such suppositions are
nether absurd nor ridiculous. Men who

EVOLUTION".
' bt r. v. -This
world was once a lump of clay
(Or fire-mist, what difference, eh?)
That bad no father, is no son.
For Science says, 'twas ne'er begun;
And nothing else within it lay
Than fire, or mist, or solid clay.
Without was nothing else beside ;
Kor law within that clay did bide.
For law is mind, and Mind was not,
Else how could mind be e'er begot
By Evolution from the clay
To be a monkey man some day T
This world was once a lump of clay
And nothing else within it lay.
Behind that clay that knew no law
(Pray, do believe, for no one saw)
Came nothing full of nothingness
Itself upon that clay t' impress
That evolution from that clay
M ight make a monkey man some day.
The world was still a lump of clay
Ai:d nothing yet within it lay
Save nothing that iroia nothing came.
By pnt-ess which we just did name.
For not at once you well must know,
But by decrees, did Cosmos grow.
Till evolution from the clay.
Brought forth its monkey man one day.
Tbe world thus more than lump of clay
And more than nothing in it lay.
For nothing, thus by nothing made,
Still grew (of course in upward grade.
And by partition or somehow,;
Fur that it grew all must allow,)
The fittest, ever waxing tall.
The weaker crowded to the wall.
Else evolution from tbe clay
Could yield no monkey man some day,
The world, though once a lump of clay,
' And nothing else within it lay,
j Has monkeys now and also men.
As is to ev'ry tyro plain.
To nothing thanks. which did command.
And thanks to law which did expand ;
To Evolution thanks of clay.
And thanks to Monkeys every day.
