It is stated in some of the pajers that Judge Baer or Bear, or whatever his name is. presiding in Somerset county, has decid ed lhat witness aptraring before him will not lie allowed to affirm before giving their teitimonv. be affirming that they "must take the oath straight. On that subject the laws and Constitution provide that awitnessmay affirm before any conrt, and that such affir mation shall be the same as a regular oath, the penalty for perjury being also the same. If Judge Baer imagines himself bigger than the Constitution of Pennsylvania, somebody will rise up and sit down on him. Tyrone Herald. If the gentleman with the alphabetical ame who conducts the Tyrone Hcrlad will submit Ju le Baer's opinion to any lawyer in the Commonwealth he will discover that instead of imagining "himself bigeer than the Constitution of Pennsylvania' Judge Baer is simply making an earnest effort to carry out the law as it stands in the books.

E. Hill, wife of a prominent young citizen of Greensburg, left for Pittsburg for the avowed purpose of purchasing some new carpets for the;r handsome new residence. It was expected that Mrs. Hill would return in the evening on the TTniontown express, which she failed to do. Her absence caused great uneasiness to ber husband and friends, and the following morning, no word having been received from her, quiet inquiries were instituted among her friends in Pittsbnrg, but without developing any traces ot the missing wife. Since that time nothing has been heard of Mrs. Hill, though telegra.ns have been sent to all points where it was supposed she might oe. Mrs. Hill was for merly Miss Mollie Woods, and the possessor of $10,000 in her own right. She was mar ried about three years ago. It is said that yesterday her friends discovered that securi ties to the amount of $22,000 are missing. The other case of disappearance is that of J. Thornton Marchand, a young attorney, who came originally from Philadelphia. He left town Wednesday night, and since then his friends have been untiring in their ef forts to find some clue to bis whereabouts. The proprietors of his botel cannot say where he is. His friends do not know, and a most diligent search by men who bail bus iness with him fails to reveal his where- shouts. Mr. Marchand is a young man of! very aristocratic family, his father having been an Admiral in the navy. He has a lucrative law practice here, and was-looked upon as very bright." The you::- husband, Mr. P. K. Hill, is the youngest son John Hill, for many years proprietor ol the Glade Hnuscatthis place, and is well known in this community. Mr. J. T. Marchand, who it is supposed left, in company with Mrs. Hill, spent several weeks in Somerset last summer, and is well Known to many oi our young men.

In our last issue we made brief mention of the fact that the Balto. and Ohio station bouse at this place bad been broken into Monday night, the safe blown open, a num ber of trunks broken into, and their contents taken. Since that time the perpetrators of the crime have been apprehended, and are now in jail awaiting trial at tbe coming term of court. The particulars of the cap ture and arrest areas follows: The partv numbered four, and as soon as they bad fin ished up tbe last trunk tbey placed a baud- car, nsed by tbe repairmen, tbat was lying along tbe road on the track, and started in tbe direction of Johnstown. Just beyond Bethel station they dispensed with the ser vices of tbe car, throwiug it from the track and starting across the country. As soon as the morning train on tbe S. A C. road arrived at Johnstown the police au thorities were notified of the burglary and Constable Waters and Officer Varner of that place, started out to work up the case. They went out the road leading to Sonanrset, through Davidsville. Tbey bad proceeded as far as Tyre Hill, about four miles from Johnstown, when ibey met a farmer, Mr. Jerome Bowman, and bis wife, in asletl go ing toward town. They bad as passa:gers three meu, who occupied tbe rear part of the sled These men at once attracted Mr. Varner attention, and, stopping th sled, he inquired of the farmer the distance to Davidsville. One ol the three men instant ly sprang from the sled, and, placing a re volver at Mr. arner's breast, said : By G , I'll show yoa how far it is to Davids ville." The officer bad bis revolver out al most as quickly as his assailant and was about to make use of it, when one of the other men in the sled discharged a pistol at Mr. Varner, the ball taking effect in bis arm, and causing him to drop his weapon The man that liied tbe shot and bis com nan ion in the sled hastily took their de- ... ... . parture across a field and towards the woods. while Officer Varner and the constable grap pled with the man who had pointed the pistol to Mr. Varnnr's breast, and, after a desoerate struggle, during which the fellow cursed his companions lor running off and leaving him, tiiey succeeded iu putting the irons on him. He was at once put in tbe sleigh and takeu to Johnstown, where he was identified as the notorious " Sbenando- ah Red," well known as a burglar, roooer j crowa oi at least nve nunurea people, anx and outlaw in police circles iu all the large I ions togeta glimpse of the now notorious cities. As soon as " Bed" bad been safely locked up, the officers again started out in search of his companions. On their way out of town tbey met Mr. Bowman and bis wife on their sled. Mr. Bowman told them that tbe men who bad escaped, in tbeir excitement or their fright, left some packages, tied up in red handkerchiefs, on the bed of the sled. The otlieers took possession of tbe packages, and made a hasty inspection of their con tents. They were found to consist of jewel ry, burglars' tools, and trinkets of various kinds, some bearing the name "Shoema ker," thus furnishing inconteatible eviderce that the man arrcstedand the three fugitives were the parties guilty of the Somerset burglary. This knowledge gave tiieofficers increased seal, and they proceeded on their journey with redoubled determination. After leav ing tbe Red Bridge the party returned to the pike, where it was learned that the escaped men had taken the hack track, aiming for Foust's Mills, on the line of the Somerset fc Cambria Railroad. The officers returned to Mose Voder's, not far from Davidsville, where they left the horse and sleiuh, and where they obtained theservices of a young man to pilot them to the point where the tramps had last been seen. They bad no trouble in getting on thefr trail, leading thrcugh a meadow. Tbey bad gone "sin gle file " through the snow, making but one set of footsteps, evidently to elude pursuit, until they reached a very steep and thickly wooded hillside. Here they had trampled abont at will among the laurel, underbrush, and rocks. Tbe officers finally traced them down the hillside to the bed of the Stony creek, about four miles above the Red Bridge, and found that they had gonedown the river a short distance, then returned and crossed tbe stream. By this time the day was closing and it was becoming very difficult to see the footprints in some places. Jly the use of matches the officers follow ed the trail to Ingleside Station. There the footprints in the snow indicated that the fugitives had left the railroad and started across the country toward (ieistown. Dark ness prevented further pursuit, and the offi cers with the plunder they had recovered through Mr. Bowman returned to Johns town. After depositing the packages of plunder at the Burgess office. Chief Harris and party this time including Detective Shepherd, drove to Ceistown. There it was learned tnat tbe tramps bad been at Mr. Jack Wel kins' hotel drinking about 7 o'clock in the evening, and had inquired (lie read to SonthJ Fork. The policemen then returned to the city and searched Rosie Seniple's place on Prospect, and also the resorts kept by Mary Fox and Pat Nugent, the latter tbe tramp who was shot on Christmas day, he having since his recovery opened a den on tbe hilL Nothing resulted from the search of these places, and the policemen returned to the Burgess' office. There they met Jack Wat kths, who bad come in from Ceistown and wanted officers to accompany him on a search for tbe tramps. Officer Stern was de- tai'ed to go with him. It was then agreed that Watkins and Stern should proceed to Geistown and thence to South Folk by a country road, while Chief Harris and his party should go un the Pennsylvania Railroad to South Fork, both parlies to meet there in case neither of them in the meantime encoun tered the tramps. Chief Harris and party were furnished an engine by the Cambria Iron Company and on it went as far as East Conemaugh. There they found nine tramps, whom they examined carefully, hut without finding the ones wanted. Thence they proceeded to South Fork on a freight tiain, arriving there at twenty minutes after three o'clock this i morning. They remained there until the arrival of the Accommodation, when they boarded it and returned to Johnstown, with out having succeeded in their mission. Olllcer Stern and Jack Watkins had arriv ed in tbe city before the chief and his party and had brought with them the three fugi-1 tive tramps. They bad captured lliem in Eph. Wissinger's barn about a mile from South Fork, after searching svven bams be tween Geistown and Wissinger's. The tramps were asleep in the haymow and Mr. Watkins. who bad entered the barn first, tramped in the face of one of f he men while looking for them. He warneikshim not to stir. The tramp said : "If yon had been two minutes later you wonld not have taken ns alive." Officer Stern and Mr. Watkins then took their pistols from them, manacled and shackled tbem, obtained a sled from Mr. Wissinger and brought them to town. At the Burgess' office they were identified as John Slane, aliai "Stifley," who said his home is at Wooster, Mass.; Charley Gal lagher, aliai " Laughing Charley," and Ed ward Button, who claims to live at No. 750 Market Street, Pittsburgh, in rooms over a store. Tbey bad on their persons a few pairs of well-worn gloves and other trifling effects, including a "prayer-book. Slane was identified by Constable Waters as the party who shot Officer Varner Tues day at Tyre Hill, and be made an attempt in the Burgess' office to shoot Officer Swank. The officer, a young man named Henry Melt, and several others were standing near the tramps hen Officer Stern, vrbohad pos-; aession of the pistola taken from tbe tramps, J enaearorinR to get mane to aav wnicn , . . a a .

Burgess Storey made a careful inspection of the packages which the tramps left in Mr. Bowman's sled, and took a note of all tbe articles in each one. One of the packages contained one pair sleeve buttons, with three seta ; one sleeve button with white stone; two diamond studs ; three small medals ; two necklaces, one witb pearl and one with stone ; one gold ring, with set; one plain ring; one charm ; cotton handkerchief maked "Shoe maker;" two silk handkerchief witb letter "S ;" one Japanese silk handkerchief; pipe and cigar-smoker ; one bottle St Jacob's Oil ; one silk scarf; one pair shoes.

Wednesday morning Constable S. P. Sny der, with warrants issued on information of Acent Lambert charging the prisoners witb burglary, went down to Johnstown j and returned on the noon train with three I r . 1 : i irk. T t . . a- of them in charge. The Johnstown officers who made the arrest assisted him in bring ing the prisoners. Edward Button, alias " Dutchy." the fourth member of tbe gang, was not brought with his companions as be was wanted in New York, where he has since been taken, on a charge of murder. The Tribune says that the officers, with their prisoners, were followed to the Johnstown station when tbey left for Somerset, by a tramps, on theirarnval here they were met at the station by a crowd nearly as large, and there were crowds all along the streets 'eading to the justice's office, where the par ty at once wended tbeii way, all eager to get a glance at the burglars. 'Squire Hicks, before whom tbey were taken, promptly committed them to jail where tbey are now lodged in the ' iron " cell. They demand ed a hearing which will be given Ihem by Justice Hicks to-day, Wednesday. The prediction is freely indulged in that wben the time for tbeir trial arrives the de fendants will not be present, as the disgrace ful old nuisance called by courtesy a "jail will not hold them if tbey desire to escape. Tbe County Commissioners, however, are determined to do what they can to keep them till wanted, and with this in view have employed several watchmen who are con stanlly on duty, night and day. It is rea sonably safe, therefore, to presume tbat these three daring outlaws will have justice meted out to them at the next Court of Oyer and Terminer, unless, indeed, the foulness and stench of the old building in which they are confined, witU twelve others, should breed disease tbat would send them before a high er court before they are called for trial in the court below. Two suspicious looking characters have been seen in the neighborhood of the jail several times since the burglars have been confined there, and the other night tracks were found in tbe snow all around tbe back part of tbe building. By some it is thought that these parties are friends of the prisoners and are meditating assisting them to escape. The Sheriff chased these strangers off tbe jail grounds Friday nlgbt. A friend at our elbow suggests that possi bly they were foreign contractors who had heard of our need of a new jail and were quietly taking a survey of the ground, so as to have some knowledge of it in the event they were given an opportunity to put in a bid for a new structure. Two detectives from Wheeling. West Vir ginia, arrived in Somerset on the morning train Thursday. They went directly to the jail and asked Sheriff Winters to allow them to have a look at " Shenandoah Red " and his companions. Tbey at once recognized them as the parties who are wanted at Wheeling for committing a fifteen nundred dollar burglary at that place a few weeks i nee. Eu. Hebm. Probably a few items from our part of the country might be desirable to some of your many readers. Mi mien is a thrifty town situate along the C. R LAP. R. R., 23 miles east of Council Bluffi, and is in the midst of a good farming country. and there is always a good demand for all kind of produce and grain. It bas a popula tion of 000 and has 3 dry goods and grocery stores, three hardware and furniture stores, three grain elevators besides three different grain buyers, a couple hotels, saloons, res taurants, blacksmith shops, etc. The town has made rapid progress in the last year, and k one of the best business places along the line ot the C.E.1.4P.R. R.t (according to its size.) This is not only a corn growing country but also grain and vegetables are raised here ; only I have not yet heard of one that could raise as nig a pumpkin as they did In Brotbcrsvalley Twp , Somerset county Pa , of which Now and Then spoke of in one of his items last fall. Timber is not to be found here, only what farmers have planted in Iheir groves; and I have not seen any stones since I am here, with the exception of what wre shipped here ; although lumber, coal, and rock can be bought at reasonable prices. Coal is sel ling from ii.5 ) to $10 per ton ; corn from 24 to 20 cents per bushel. Sod houses are no more to be seen ; in stead you see nice, comfortable, frame dwellings yet a few of the poorer class live in small frame shanties. Land is sell ing at ironi ;o to Jiou per acre. l bis is a very healthy country ; I am healthier since I live here than I ever have been before. Doctors are complaining of not having much business. This town is inhabited mostly bv Ger mans from Holstein, Uermany ; four Penn sylvania families live here, viz: J. H. Yo der, from Somerset Co.; R. A. Benson, from Lancaster Co ; Dr. M. J. Wayland and my self from Somerset county. The former is engaged in the mercantile business, Mr, B. is tending the telegraph and ticket office, Doc is practicing medicine and is a first class Doctor only there are not enough peo pie sick to give bim continual work, and, I have been working behind the counter tbe two years that I am her. We have bad the nicest kind of weather till the 8th of January, when it commenced to snow and was very blnsttry tor about a week when it turned cold and the mercury ranges from zero to 38 degrees below ever since. Yes, and I must not forget tbe Editor, for the Hekald is receive! every Friday even ing as a welcome guest ; enclosed find pay ment for another year's subscription. Yonrs Respectfully, E. L. Yodeb. Minden, la., Jan'y 20, 1886. Ed. Hikad: After reading in your paper of tbe 27l b inst., a letter from Dr. H. C. Mc Kinley, of Meyersdale, making sulfations, 4c . as to the nrnperand best method of irt. tin ont of the trouble. Into which tbe IU pnbliransof 8..inerset conntv have been nlac- ,bv , amendment, and a failnra to hold a - " ' ' prirpary last Jnne; your comment upon and yoqr sufciscstions. I beg !ave the sameaod to a)iso express an opinion sou make a mg- gestion. j to call mass meeting for business purposes, . than the most bumble voter in tbe county. Thcexpective candidates have less, and thn lata eommitleemen still less, because U latter can not oe tneir own successors and their term of office is limited to one year. At present there is no one authorized to receive fees, to announce the names of can- didatrs who seek a nomination under the rules, to make contracts (or tbe payment of the necessary expenses; and for the fur nishing and distributing of the tickets to committeemen in the various precincts. The rules of the party are inoperative, and a dead letter, and eannot be made operative without first abolishing tbe provisions of the amendment, disfranchising the Repub lican voters in the election of a Chairman. Any effort to restore them, under the rules would be like an engineer trying to run his engine by blowing air into the smoke stack. The rules, before tbey were amended, were self perpetuating and satiafactory to the ma jority of tbe voters, but unfortunately they could not be left alone, but bad to be amend ed so as to make them inoperative under tbe present contingency, and unfair and une- qual under the most favorable circumstan- ces. The amendment makes the holding of; the annual primary indispensable in order i to continue tbe party organization, because it abolishes the annual business meeting and makes tbe office of Chairman non elec tive by the voters of tbe party. It goes farther and makes the unsuccessful candidate pay the general campaign expens es for bis successful opponent This is un equal and unfair, if not dishonorable, Wben a candidate, for tbe nomination in the party, nnder the rules, pays the required fee for the announcing of his name and the distribution of tickets he feels as if he was either being imposed upon, or that some one else is being cheated. If successful he is the winner of a part of bis unsuccesssul oppo nents money. If not succeseful be is the victim, Tbe failure to hold an election nn der the rules, last June leaves tbe party un organized for tbe present and the fact might as well be admitted at once. The remedy is what most concerns us. A nomination, without first restoring the organization, would not be binding upon tbe party. There being no one in tbe county author ized to call a meeting, would it not be beat for Thos. V. Cooper to call a meeting of tbe Republicans of tbe county and let them or ganize by selectirg a Chairman and by adopting such rules as tbey may see proper, B. A Ficbtner. Confluence, Pa, Jau'y 30.
