A Terr quiet wedding was solemnized at the residence of Mr. Rudolph Ferner. in this 1 borough, shortly after 11 o'clock Wediies- day etuing, tjeptember 2tkh, when Miss .

Mr. Borer is a Lamlaoroe. plain spo ken young gentleman of Feni'sy Ivania Dutch" I arentaj-e, and made a very favorable impression upon those of our peopie who bad the pleasure of meeting him. It is a g.l thing for a candidate to show himself to the people whose votes he expects to re ceive, hat then Mr. Hover would have trot- ten upwards of :?.. majority in even if he hadn't visited u. . r il rs t '. , At a meeting of the State Board of Health Friday it was positively decided that the , work beingdoneat Johnstown under S'ate auspices, come to an end Momlay evening. ' The big f-irce of men who have been em- ; pl.iyed excavating eelrs and improving i streets Lave been paid off and dismissed, j Governor Bearer's State fuad of DW.oiiO is ; actually exhausted, and in accordance with i tbe resolution passed on Friday tbe Board ( of Heaiih will shut op shop and reluctantly j leave its unfinished work to take care of itself. Dr. Joseph F. Edwards, a member ofthe i B mrd, returned to Philadelphia Saturday J and ex pressed deep regret at the necessary abandonment of work. "After having pass- ; ed our resolution end telegraphed ir to the Goverrw. we felt sorely tempted to nscind it and positively refuse to leave our post of . duty," Le said. "The Conetnacgh Valley is even yet in a most utiii-saithy condition. One thousand one hundred cellars havebee clear d, but there yet remain .'J that are in i a wretched conditio. Bodies are still being ; found among tbe ruins, and the Tery d.your I Uvrd met four putrirted eorjises were brought to light. A little less than at') bodies have thus far been rerover-i. ahich means that over 3'.) are yet buried some where among tbe rubbish in addition to the carcasees of an. ins s. This indicates that tbe good heal Lb of Johnstown is in terrible penl. The weather is now so cuid in the uiou&taiua that for the winter danger baa been practically annulled. But with the awaktning of spring it will be no surprise if an awful pestilence should break out." So fur as our knowledge goes tbe aunaia i of crime in south-western Pennsylvania do' not record a case similar to the one ol which ' young Henry Patterson was convicted on I Saturday. We cannot conceive of a case j whkb could appeal ruore strongly to tbe j sympathies of mankimL True, tbe time was inopporthne IjT relieving society of so base a crea tire as Sjnker, but the son who would have don less than Henry Patterson baa yet to learn tbe meaning of the word moth er. The Iistrict Attorney, the counsel tut de fense, the court and ttie jury, ail did their duty, fiarlesely and conscientiously, but now that the law has been vindicated let merry leirper justice. Henry FaUeraon, a youth ot S. merely showed to the world that be poetesses the filial instincts end qaaiitim which go to make up true manhood. It would be a cry ing sriamc to blight his tender youth, turn Scorn's finger eternally at bis future and rear him a curse to himself and society by imposing the severe penalty ofthe law. There are occasions when humanity rises above statiitea and justice ia best lernpered with mercy. There i still time in wUkh to save this boy f-orn the borribre future of a Hon, to send him bark to his mother and home, and rear him to be citizen of sterling worth.

I The mill was tlie projierty of John MT. j Frltt of Stoneycrfek, who was assisted in his labors tr bis brother. Edward Fritz. 01i En 'lUrul R,Vr 1I nf.-Uneverfwfc. j 8!li Zacharia and tUmuel Brsnt. Tbe men haj been aawioir on Tuesday mornin untU about 10 o'clock, when, owing to tbe unfit condition of tb boiler, they were compelled to atop f jr want of steam. Tbe morning being cold and wet they were all, with the exception of Samuel Urant, gathered around I he boiler when tb explosion occurred. Its force was terrific and terrible in its results. j The Frill brotliers, Oliver Roes and Ihavid j Biter were instantly killed, their bodies bwoj mangled and blackened almost beyond j recognition. Zacfcaria Brant, who noticed i the danger an d wr b a warning cry, started to j run, was seriously injured and is in a criti- : cal condition. Samuel Brant, who was at j the shanty, about 50 raids from tbe boiler, I ca with slight injuries although one t taU of the building wan completely wrecked. The explosion was beard in town and the ' result soon known, when a crowd of people tlji ked to tbe scene. An inquest was held j by EViuire Fisher and a verdict rendered in I accorilance with the facta. The bodies were ' then brought to town and placed in charge 1 ol 1'ndertaicers Johnson and Mervine, who , .irrfiareu tiietu tor uuruii, aiiu iu lu cviiiiib ; ttx.k them to t-toneycreek. The ttitieral 1 . L m I 1 , : 1 . '. took place Thursday morning at tbe Glade churco attendt-d by a large a umber of people. It is known tl.l: the safety valve bad been taken off the boiler for repairs and a plug driven into the escape, in addition to which the steani gua was out of order and would not register properly. It seems almost in credible that men accustomed to working with steam would risk their lives with a boiler in such Condition, and it is a terrible warning to those engaged in like work: Had theeiploston occurred a few minutes later tbe list of victims would certainly have been much Urger.-as a number of loggers and others were on their wsy to tbe mill and have reason to be very thankful for their providential escape. The Contract for th New Jail Let. The contract for building a new coonty jail was awarded to the Pauley Jail Com pany of -St. Louis, Missouri, by tbeCocnty Commissioners at a late hour Saturday n'. the articles were signed, sealed, r-d delivered. Tbe contract price is twenty- four thousand five tuujred dollars. Tbe keys ofthe ootnpioted building are to be de livered on the first day of August, Ism, Two reprerfnta ivea of the State Board of Charities visited Somerset, Tuesvlay, aud af ter carefully examining all of the plans for a new jail submitted to the County Commis sioners, approved the plan ofthe "Pauley Ct.mpany," with the understanding that one or two minor alterations, which they sug gested, be made. The material for the new jail will be de livered during the winter, and the work of construction will be commenced as soon as tbe weather in the spring will permit, not later loan April 1st, when residence will be provided for Sheriff McMiilen. The p roe en t jail will be eutirvly tord away, while the rtsidence portion will be lowered to the second story. Tbe plan calls for a Tery pretty, modem residence for the Sheriff and his fcmily. Two bow windows, one each on the east ern i n 1 western sides of the building a handsome veranda in tbe front, with doable windows leading to it, stone sills and arches for the windows, galvanized iron cor nice, and slate roof, will be some of its at tractions. The new prison will be, and is guaranteed, absolutely fireproof. There will be a cellar under the entire structure, with solid stone walls and iroo door, and in it will be located the beatingand vrntilatingapparatus known as tbe Sme.io system," which burns and evaporates all the sewage. 4a the first floor will be eiyhi. steel celis xlt) and ! fc-t high, with an exercise corridor in front and ,a Th closet, are in tbe rear of tbe cells, and -tb-room, cast-iron tub for the use ; ot uie inmates, opens irora trie exercise cor i rfrlor. Immedia ely in front of t he corridor , and commanding a full view of all the Cells is a guard s corridor. A vestibule, with one solid iron and one basket door, connects it with teat of tlie prisoners, affording the jailor double security. Each cell is provided with stationary iron wasbstand, arid a swinging fcaniiuovk. A lorce-pitnip is loca- ... 1 . 1 . , , '.A L. . f .1 l.-n il . " .... mm j . w prisotilrs can keep tbe tank on the garret supplied with water. A dumb-waiter of the most approved pattern will connect the giiard's corridor with the kitchen. A system of kicks, patented by Mr. Pauley, which en ables the jailor to boll all of tlie cells by simply drawing a lever in the guard s corri dor, will be used. The upper floor is pre cisely similar to the first, an iron stairway connecting the guards" corridors. A " trap ' to be used in cases of execution is provided for in the exercising corridor of the upper floor. The floors and ceilings are to be fill ed between the iron casing with concrete. i Not a bit of woodwork will be exposed ia 1 f V. k nlie nmnn A ievw fL ior aril connect tbe guards' corridor with tbe Sber- ! iff" a residence, while a basket door will con nect it with the Sheriff's private office, which j will be located in a wing on the west, or : Court House side. From the Sheriff's oftice an inm door opens on to a pretty little por ' iico, while to tbe rear of tbe offioe is located I the guard's bedroom, from which grated , lookout ofens into the jail proper. Over j the Rice are two steel cells lor female if - mates, a hospital cell and a bath room. There can be no doubt that when tbe jail is completed according to the plans aud apedfica'ion it will meet alt the require- ' mrnts of the coonty, and will afford such 1 secanty and omfort to the uaiurtumres i who chance to girt behind its bars, as the 1 present generation demands. The representatives of the State Board of Charities stroug'y recommended jail yard t with a high stone wall around it, in coo ' nection with tbe jail, hot tbe County Com I misaiooeni retused to consider any such : pnposition. It will be built at some future j day. and the criminals who are sentenced to i terms of imprisonment in the county jail, will be compelled to do the work. Before the eonl-act was signed the plans and specifications were submitted to tbe j t.rand Jury, then sitting, and they went unanimouy approved by that body, and an adliuooal appropriation of )LX) recom- ! mended.

Cambria Coeufy, and aked to see Mr. Bloujrh in the presence of Lis wife, saying they bad a mission to per ioral. Mr. BlougU conducted them to where bis wife was. They then said they represen ted tbe National BeneSt Association, and that Mr. Biough had been recommended to them for membership that they took no members except upon recommendalioo. Mr. Kline then took a paper out of his pocket and read it, it beiu iu the nature of an oath, declaring Oaity to the Association, and explained thai if Mr. and Mrs. Biough would sign it they would then be full mem bers, and in ease of aicknea would receive $9, per week, and their monthly dues would Dot exceed one dollar. He also said that in one week tbe man who had recom mended Mr. Slough, bat whose name he declined to give, would be along and pay him one thousand dollars. Mr. Biough told tbera he guessed tbe thing was a fraud, when Mr. Kline declared that -he was a pious man and a Christian, and had sever done any thing he was ashamed of except steal chick ens during the war. They said they represented Cambria Coun ty kit the Association, and when told they were in Somerset County they said their district ran into that county and embrace" 1 a part of Westmoreland. They then sprung their game, which was that Mr. Biough should pay them one hundred dollars for membership, or they would take part if he was not prepared to pay all, and they would guarantee the yment of one thousand dollars within week's time. Mr. Biough declined to bite, however, ami the men then left on foot, as they came, and took tbe rail road at Kriugs station for Johnstown. Kline is about 40 years of age, wore au over coat and straw hat, stylish but cheap cloth ing, light colored pants, and had light mous tache.

While Not Justified in Taking- a Hu man. Life, Thert Were Many Mit ijatinj CiKunwtancsa in ine Caae. A Motion For a New Trial Filed. HENRY J. PATTERSON. The case of the Commonwealth vs. Henry J. Patterson was called fir trial shortly after Court convened, Thursday morning. The prisoner was brooght in by tbe Sheriff, and took a seat at tbe table with hia counsel, Val. Hay, Esq., and Hod. John Cessna. He was neatly and cleanly clad, but look ed somewhat pale and emaciated from his close coennesneut in the county jail. Hia appearance was rather prepossessing. He watched the case closely, and frequently leaned over tbe table and whispered to bis counsel questions to ask different witnesses. When on the witness stand he was cool and collected aud told the story of bis life and the facts that led np to the killing in a rrank and intelligent manner, apparently making no attempt at concealment, but staling all the circumstances as they transpired, wheth er they were favorable to his case, or other wise, j Only twenty ytars of age, bis father aoul tured gentleman, dying wben he was a lad of tender years, hia mothtr married to alow, ijnoront, brutal, drunken husband, whose constant delight seemed to be to abuse and maltreat her and ber children by her former husband ; the poor, sensitive, higb-atrnng boy, led a wretched life, indeed. He bore up under the terrible load for years; labored for the support of bis younger brother and sis ter; for his mother and that of her dules husband, daily submitting to personal abuse, aud worse still, being forced to witness the sufferings af those he loved sufferings caus ed by tbe inhuman treatment they received at tbe hands of one whose duty it should have been to care for and protect them, till at last the strain became too great, the final straw was added, the bunlen was more than he could bear, and in a fit of uncontrollable passion be seized a gun and shot dead the wretch who bail blighted his young life and caused him so much misery. It was an unlawful killing, but it certain ly was not an unprovoked one. District Attorney Biesecker appeared alone for the Commonwealth. His conduct of the rase was highly creditable and he was warm ly congratulated by his many friends at tbe close, although their sympathies were mostly with the prisoner. The entire pannel of fifty jurors was ex hausted before a suitable jury was secured. Following are the names of the gentle men who composed tbe jury. THijrar. Benjamin Kline, Luther J. Uiilfgas, J. B. Gerhard, Adam Poo rhaugh, Jacob M. Walter, B. B. Cougbenour, Charles Ream, Herman Johnson, D. M. Weitoer, Jonathan. Ling, Joseph (iiessner, John E. Lsrgent. District Attorney Biesecker opened the case oo part of the Commonwealth. He re hearsed the evidence they expected to sub mit and closed by saying that if they es tablished the facts as he had presented tbetu the jury would have no difficulty in arriving at a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree.
