Through inadvertancy a mistake crept into
the election proclamation, published else
where in this paper. The polling place for
Brothersvaliey township was changed by or
der of the court on June Pi. ls,-, from the
house of Tobias Fisher to the Fairview
school bouse, but the change was not made
in the printed proclamation. H. H. Smith
and Wra. Lin lis. who are ever watchful of
the G. O. P.'s inter-sts in Brothersvalley,
came to Somerset, Friday, to have the error
rectified.
On the first page ofthis paper will be found
an inte-eing letter from our friend John
Griffith, who is traveling in California and
Oregon. Mr. Griffith left (Somerset some
ten years a(o. and aiuce that time has trav
eled extensively throughout tbe west. His
letters to the Herald from time to time
have Ireen read with interest by his many
old time friends. His advice to people re
siding in the east who are contented is to re
main here, which convinces us that bis bead
is as level as it was years ago when we crack
ed jokes with htm over Cook A Beerits
counter.
Park Y. Kimmel. F.q., who has filled a
position in the Pennsylvania Company's
pisen?er department at Pittsburg for a

tav. bidding cxhl bye to his family and
friends lrior to setting out for the City of
Mexico, whither he gws next rrtissy to ac
ccpl a responsible position in the paweuger
service of the Mexi an National Railroad.
The City cf Mexico doe not appear so far
off as we remember its location on tbe map
of , jr school ceography, but we find that
aftf r the traveler has crossed the Rio Grande
river he has traversed two hundred and Bfiy
miles Icsa than half the distance from Pitts
biier to tbat point. Thetotal distance being
a tr?fi over 2.' miles, or five day jour
ney. Tlx City of Mexico is reputed to be a
city of exceptional beauty, occupying a
commanding position on the Sierra Madre
mountains, at an altitude of C,0-0 feet. We
trust that its salubrious atmosphere will not
imoel our friend "ony to waiicpwnuu.
and tbat he will return to us
ritb his oil
familiar Somerset county gait.

respects Mr. Roberts ii one of the most re
markable men this county baa ever prod lin
ed. The greater part of his life has been
spent at his saw mill In the woods, and his
days and night have been devoted to tbe
severest hardships, but notwithstanding all
this his face beams with tbe nappies smiles,

May he never grow older.
During the past two weeks not less than
half a dozen of tbe good women, and two or
three young girls of tbil town have been at
tacked in the dark by a ruffianly beast of a
man, who clasps them In bis arms and after
giving them a tight sqneeae permits them to
go either through fear of being detected, or
upon discovering that he hat made a mis
take, as mistakes of a like character have
len known to occur in tbe neighborhood
where this vile creature operates. Tbe as
saults of this brute have become so frequent
of late that ladies are afraid to venture on
the street after night fall, for fear of being
grabbed in tbe embrace of so loathsome an
object. One kdy who was attacked by this
foul scoundrel, received such a shock that
she was unable to leave her bed for two
or three days following. Since it is out of
the question foi one policeman to gni the
streets of the entire town and since this cow
ardly cur selects the quietest quarters of tbe
village in which to make bia attacks, would
it not be well for fathers, husband, and
brothers to keep an eye open fir him, and
upon detection bring him to the bar of jus
tic with a short turn ? fuch nefarious con

A Harmonious; l? Cucu.
Sunday's Pittsburgh papers contained a
telegram from this place, saying that on the
previous evening "at a nieelingof representa
tive Democrats gathered together at the call
of thechairmau of the Democratic county
committee, a resolution was unanimously
adopted requesting the conferees to the dis
trict conference io support Col. lohn P. I.!n
ton, of Cambria comity, for Congress." Ibis
was the first intimation that mch representa
tive Ieinocrats as the Baer'. Valentine Hay,
the Holderbsuras, Col. Hugtis and many
others haJ of the caucus. InvestLrvion
shows thai the meeting of 'representative
Democrats " was composed of not more than
a Laker's dozn of the personal adherents of
(ien. A. H. Coflrotb, and that they had been
called together to do his bidding. One "rep
resentative Democrat " present, who " car
ries his sovereignty under bis own hat,"
ventured to inquire into the General s mo
tives when he waj jumped upon by the Great
I Am of the Sjmert Democracy, who rant
ed up and down Chairman I hl office like
an infariated bull, and declared that he
would not have his motives questioned, that
he had been running the Democratic poli
tics of Somerset county too long to
have ar yjne q ieiion bts authority. At
this p i:it Ctias. H. Fisher to k the fl or
and in a calm, dispassionate and earnest
rpeeih urjjed that Mr. Greevey, of Blair
county, hi ! ri,-hu in the case and should be
the nominee, since the only sentiment
among the !m -rats of this m-inty is for
him. The old boea" retorted lv su-.r'i.ig
around in tis usual manner refusing to up
port tireevey. making no points against
him and winding up with personal abuse of
Mr. Fis'ier. Tbe i -oeral grew so loud at
limes tbat q..i;e erowj collected in front
of the Deni -r; ! !. larters expecting
to ;ee Mr. F.he i ; bjdy and breetches
int li' street- Afri wtiiie the General
quielej doa n sufl.L-i.filly to allow his baker's
dozen tf persona! "representative Demo
crats'' U adopt his resolution.
As the General advance in years his
"scientific" methods improve and by another
year we expect lo see him cast tbe solid vote
of the Somerset Democracy singly and alone.
A Destructive. Flr.
Between the hours of eight and nine
o'clock Friday Dight the skies north of town
were illuminated by a bright light, which
attracted the attention of hundreds of peo
ple and drew them into tbe street. The fol
lowing moming it was learned that tbe large
grist mill belonging lo William Winters, of
this township, and lying a few rods west of
the S. A C. railroad station, at Snyder's, had
ben entirely consumed by fire. The origin
of the fire is still a mystery, but it is thought
to have resulted from an exploded lantern.
Shortly before the fire was discovered Mr.
Winters bad gone to the upper floor of the
K,,;i.ti,ii- with a lantern swinging on bis
arm, to examine a piece of machinery that
appeared lo be out of runnig order. He says
that while stooping over the machinery be
suddenly felt a hot llsme lei-ping up hss arm
and almost at t! same instant he fcl! to the
floor, unconscious of his surroundings.
About this time a young man named Bar
rone, who wai employed as fireman at the
mill, and who was engaged in conversation
with several friends at tbe Grange house, a
few yards distant, remarked that he thought
he smelt something burning-, and leaving
them Lorried lo the engine room.. He louud
( vythin; all right there, and no sign of fire
on the first and second floors of the mill, but
he discovered a volume of smoke poshing its
way through tbe floor of the garret. He as
cended to that part of the building, and
there he saw tongues of flame eajerly eating
their way along the eaves of tbe roof, and
in the mid of the dense smokethe prostrate
body of Mr. Winters.
Rushing back to tbe companions be had
left only a romunt before be apprise! tbem
of the lire and with their assistance succeed
ed iu carrying Mr. Winters from the burn
ing miil to the railway station. The cry of
fire was raised and tbe few neighbors liviug
in the little viilia'ge responded promptly to
the alarm. By this time the flames were
burning brightly, but were still confined to
the lofi of the building and tbe little band
of workers thonght they could soon snbdue
them. The only way of fighting the flsmea
was with buckets of water that haJ to be
carried up three flights of stairs and th!s
method was soon found unavailing, the Ere
gaining greater strength every minute.
When it was found tbat the mill was doom
ed, the ha1 f dozen men engaged at fighting
the flames, turned their attention to saving
tuch grain and machinery as they could
tarry to a place of safety. All of the bagged
(rrain and 11 iur mas saved tupher with a
new bolting machine, before the fire had
burned it way to the first floor. A half
hour af.erwards nothing remained of the
mill, but tbe foundation stones and a mass
of smoking rains. .
Mr. Winters, who had meanwhile recover
ed consciousness, was unable to tell anything
about bow the Crt originated and was evi
dently overcome by the smoke before he
knew that tbe building was on fire.
The mill was one of tbe largest and best
in tbe county and was built in 18s; at a cost
of$SXW. It had large tradeand turned
out Bret class work. Mr. Winters isa-very
heavy loser as he only had $o."00 insurance
on tbe building and contents.
Happily Wedded.
On Thnrdv. October 23. 1. a nice
cotnnany of relatives and friends collected
at the residence of Mr. John Tbnpn, of
Lavansville, Pa , to witness tbe celebration
of the nuptial rite. The high contracting

After ail bad enjoyed tbe wedding feast,

"White Caps" Attack n ex School
Teacher.
Mr. D. & Horner, a school teacher at Jen
oer X Boada, Somerset county, recently v
signed his job ttere and came to tbe great
city to make a fortune selling book cm the
installment plan. He obtained lodgings at
Harsbberger'e, in tbe Fourth Ward.
Last evening about 6 o'clock, while Mr.
Horner was sitting quietly in tbe bonae
counting np hi day' income, a gang of 8 or
10 men. with handkerchiefs tied over their
face, entered and declared that they were
'White Caps" from Jenner X Roads in
search of a man named Horner, recently a
teacher there. Mr. Horner did not attempt
to conceal bis identity, bat pleaded that he
had done oothins to msrit a visit from the
"White Cap. "
Hi pleading were in vaiu, however, and
the "White Cap" carried him from tbe
house to the back yard. Thore they butened
a handkerchief about hie neck and attached
rope to the handkerchief with the evident
purpose of swinging him up. He yelled and
shouted so vigorously, however, tbat tbe
neighbor were attracted, and. npon their
appearance, the "White Cap " fled.
Botnepeople regard the affair a a joke,
but Mr. Horner doesen't, and threatens to
turn the tables on the partie if he can find
out who they were.
Mr. Homer make the following tate
ment concerning the affair : " In tbe first
place I was stint a necktie from J. C I tell 4
Co, of East Liberty, and a letter tbat accom
panied it said that a few days ago I wa at
their store and my tie looked so objectiona
ble tbat they thought they would send me
one a new silk one worth a dollar. I
suppose this tie wa sent me so that I would
be marked when I wore it. I put the tie on
and went to the back door on tbe porch, sod
there I saw four or five men whom I took
to be Whit Caps, with handkerchief over
tbeir frees. They hrd a big rope and want
ed to get it around, my neck, I suppose to
bang me. Several of tbem took bold of me
and I shoved up to tbe door and opened it
four or five inches and called out for help.
Tbe people inside the house came out and
the White Caps decamped. In getting over
tbe fence one of tbem lost a derby bat and a
lead pencil. I have two detectives and sev
eral police officers after theua, but I suppose
they will be bard to catch They having
been masked, I could scarcely identify them
if I would see them." Johtutvw Tribune,
