County Superintendent Berkcy, has re

many valuable practical suggestions, which

result in the further improvement of our
schools.

A fourteen-year-old daughter of F.li Bitt-
ner, who live in the neighborhood of Case
beer' chaich, in Somerset township, wet
with a moat distressing accident Monday af
ternoon. A number of men were engaged
at threshing buckwheat for Mr. Bittner In
tbe barn and bis daughter was employed at
handing the sheaves to ber eldest brother
who was feeding tbe machine. Gathering
op an arm load of tares from about the plat
form the young girl put them into tbe feed
box and while pushing them down with ber
right band so that tbe stir og draught woold
not blow them out, ber Co ;er were caught
by the rapidly revolving ylinder and ber
arm was drawn into the strong iron teeth.
Tbe poor child shrieked with pain but be
fore the machine coold be stopped her ana
was literally torn off several inches below
tbe elbow. She was carried to the boose
here Dr. J. M. Lontber subsequently per
formed an amputation above tbe elbow.
Tlie child's nervous system sustained a ter
rible shock and fears are entertained for ber
recovery.
A horrible accident occurred at "Joe"
Gamiger's saw mill, one mile back of Bakers
ville, Frid y morning in which Eli Berkey,
a resident oi this township, had bis left leg
torn to shreds by the cold teeth of a huge
circular saw. Mr. Berkey, who is a young
man of about 3o years of age, was employed
at tlie mill as sawyer and at the time of the
accident was engaged about the guide when
suddenly, no one knows just bow, he slip
ped and bis leg falling on the saw .vs cut
from the calf up above the knee joint. The
severed knee cap hnng down over his leg a
bleeding mass only held by the tkin. The
scene of the accident is nine miles distant
from this place, the nearest point where
medical assistance could be procured and a
messenger waa dispatched for Dr. J. M
Loulher. The frightened messenger rode at
such a terrible speed that be was compelled
to change hi mount three time before
reaching town. Dr. Louther drove . 1 fhe
rail! as speedily as possible and dressed the
injured man's wounds. Saturday morning,
assisted by Dr. Carothers, he amputated the
mangled limb. Mr. Berkey will be brought
to the home of bis brother Harrison, whose
farm adjoins this borough. An accident
such as this, occurring away off in the woods
so far removed from medical assistance, is a
frightful thing to contemplate. .

... Crlmlnl Court.
The regular Be pi em ber terra of Court con
vened at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Tbe
criminal calendar contain fifty-one cases,
most of them of a trivial nature, but th
probabilities are that the entire week will
be consumed in disposing of them. Ex
J odge Samnel Snyder was appointed fore
man of the grand jury.
At Monday afternoon' session tbe grand
jury returned true bills against Russell and
Harvey Shroyer, indicted for burglary, John
J. FnU for assault and battery, and F. B.
Logne for attempt to commit arson.
'The first case called for trial was that of
tbe Commonwealth vs. Rnssell and Harvey
8hroyer, two little boys aged respectively 13
and 15, but looking very much younger.
They were charged by Rev. O. F. Harahman
of Greenville township, with burglariously
entering his residence and stealing there
from two pocketbooks, containing between
five and six dollars, a penknife and a lot of
marbles. The little fellows " fessed np " and
said they did the bad deed, but didn't know
what prompted them to do it. They were
neatly dressed, bright looking childten and
showed no signs of youthful depravity. The
younger apoke for himself and brother. He
said they attended Sunday-school, sometime
twice a Sunday ; that the evening of the
burglary they were in church ; the church
was too bot and they went out and in
passing tbe preacher' bouse they noticed a
win dow up and crawled in and got tbe ar
ticles mentioned. The boys were placed in
tbe hands of tbe Sheriff till the Court could
decide what sentence, if any, should be im
posed.
The next case called was one against poor,
demented John Fritz, who has for years past
figured so extensively in our criminal courts.
He was charged with assault and battery
by bis son. The jury found Jobn not guilty
and divided the cost equally between Cither
and son. '
At Tuesday morning session the case of
the people against Frank B. Logue, charged
with setting fire to a coal tipple near Mey
ersdale, was taken up.

their riipport was first class throughout.
Fine singing, good dancing, and real new
jokes, not stale chestnuts, together with
some wonderful juggling, tumbling, musical
specialties, and side splitting farces and

of fare. A splendid band accompanied the
Barlow Brothers. Newark Daily Adrvcaie.

he was a constant sufferer, but from early
manhood he was subject to attack of heart
disease, and it was that dread malady, which
annually carries away so many hundreds of
strong men, and about which medical sci
ence knows so little, that terminated bis
life. 'Squire Cable bad been in Somerset
only a few days prior to bis death, and at
tended to bis farm duties throughout the
week. About dusk Sunday evening be
complained of fueling unwell, and before
midnighthe was cold in death. He was in
his 5."th year and leaves a wife and two
daughters. It is the good fortune of but few
men to be held in as high regard and esteem
by all bi neighbors and acquaintances as
was Silas Cable. The people -of Jefferson
towhship' -loved and Tionored bim, and on
many occasions have they testified their ap
preciation of bis worth. To his ripe judg
ment was submitted tbe innumerable little
difference that constantly arise in the most
quiet and peaceable neighborhoods, in the
confidence thatliis decision would be right
eous and just. Many important matters
were also entrusted to bis care In tbe same
confidence. Hi high character and sterling
worth were recognized by all of his friends,
and in bis death this county loses one of its
most boa ond and useful citizens.
Counstl for Divid and Joseph Nicely ap
peared before tbe Pardon Board last week
and asked for a farther continuince of time,
on the ground that they were not prepared
to argue their application for a shearing.
Their request was granted, and tbe case bos
been delayed another month. ; To tbe aver
age citizen's way of thinking, there is some
thing unaccountably strange In the long
respite that has already been granted tbese
convicted marderers, and many of our peo
ple are of the opinion that the day for their
execution will never be set by tbe present
chief Executive.', In case Governor Beaver
delays filing the day of execution until after
bis term of office has expred tae probabili
ties are that the sentence' of tbe law will
never be carried into effect, and that the
Ificclylwyst will remain a obarge on the tax-
payers -of this oounty. It most certainly is
not a pleasant tak for the Governor of the
State to set aside a certain day lor tbe execu
tion of human being, but it bis sworn duty
and the responsibility is tbe law's, not his,
and thers eaa be no excess for petty asnti
mentality In a case ncb as this, when) there
