A HISTORY OF SOMERSET BOROUGH.
BY JOHX IIEXBY PICKING.
The Bomcgb of Somerset, with a p.pi-
: lation of 1.710, is situated near the ctn
i tral part of the county, and has been the
l s-at of justice since 17!-. The previous
i naaie of this place was knwen as Milford;
i This B.rough an 1 county formerly coc
! slituted a part of Bedford co nty. It
I remaine-i & until April; 17'J-T, when an
J A"t of Ascembly was passed making a l
j that part f Biiford west of the crest of
' the Allegheny mountains to the top of
j Esurel Hill mountain, a new county,
j which was named Somerset The boun-
dary line was changed on the souther st
i hy the addition of Southampton town
! hin which hji aince leen divided into
and
five different sections, namely : Aliegbe-
Larimer. Northampton, tireenville
. T A? A
and outnampton townsiiips. me nn
st-ttlement made in this county was made
i at that point now known as Turkeyfoot
township ; bet the exact time at which it
was made is not known. It has the high
est county seat in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, its altitude being nearly
2.200 feet above the level of the sea. It
arrears that Hiram Husband was the
original ow ner of this place. At a very
early day he gave the Branere 130 acres,
w hit h, before the year 1737, was laid out
in town lots, stieets, etc. and named
j Bnnerstown." Adam Snyder then be
. came tke wwnerof Brunerstown. Articles
i of agreement were made and signed on i
j the 2Uh day of September, 17S7. Somer- j
set was first named alter a man by the j
name of Bruner, who laid out the town,
and had bis home on what is now know n
as tiie Main street of Somerset The ar
ticle of agreement by which Brucers
twn (or the present borongh of Somer
set , and the lands which had been made
to I'lrich Brunner, were made to Adam
Snyder. The parties who signed this
jireeaient, with the exception of Hiram
Husband, wrote their names in German.
Tke agreement itself was prepared by
Husband, in a plain style. This piacs
was named Somerset on September 12,
I70 . Somerset was made s borough by
an Act of the Oners! Astnb!y passed
5Iarch 5, li, yet it appears it was not
assessed as s separate place until two or
three years later.
Fires have destroyed the minutes of
town councils, but from the books and
papers on file in the Prothonotary ,s office
can be teamed when the Chief Burgew
and School Directors were elected to their
rewpective offices, as shown by eitiiens
who resided here at thai time.
THE FtM OF 1SJ3.
On the morning of October 16, 1S33.
a great fire occurred in the Borough of
Somerset The cry of fir '. was given at
230 in the morning, which was heard by
the people of this town. It was found to
be in the house belonging to Joshua F.
Cox. Em- and occupied by several fami-
! lies, and by quite a number of mechanics
as shops. It spread in an awfal fiame in
a ttry few moments. The lia-fte with
which it spread, both east and west, and
notwithstanding the most energetic efforts
which were made dy the citizens to con-i-uer
it its progress was not ceased until
every bouse between the street which
crotses Main street was entirely consum
ed. About an hoar before daylight a ho

side of the street- and the boose of John

be in ilames.
The chance of saving the remainder of
the town was then prophesied ts hopeful
by sortie of the citizecs who were engased
in fighting the fliroes. jsae of the peo
ple who helpi to brin-r the fire to a close

were without fire hooks or la-iders. Th

erset ever itnessed.

This fire cr'i'irtited about the same place
as tlie one previons. The borough of
Somerset was consumed three times by
fire. The first occurred Thursday. Octo

G, lS7i It was thought that the fire
broke cut in the pattern shop of the foun
dry of IUs is, .McCoy & Co. After the
alarm had been sounded it was but a
very shirt lime before a crowd of earnest
workers w. re on the ground, ready to of
fer their lives and limbs in order that
they tuijht Live stayed its progress. At
that time it was thought tt have started
from a spark w hich Sew from the forge
in the foundry. The wind was blowing
froui the southta- at the time the fire
started ar. I it sc spread to the nei-h-br..-!gh''ps
when- it was supported far
in advar.i-e. Ti.e shed between the foun

much of a start and ', leaped across the
street to where li;e S iurs-t House now j
stands. The b-r.i '.int-i were as dry as
powder and burnt as quickly. Large
pieces of burainii matter were taken np
by the w iad art f carrk-1 some distance
and wherever they fell caused a fire.
This was the second tine the Somerset
House was seen to l-e in flames. It was
a very few mo:uer.ts from the time the
b'iild;nr took tire until they were found
to be a tea.- of rains. The wind still
increa-d and scattered fit brands ina'l
parts of the town. At the time this fire

n jt even a hook or Ladder ; w ith the wr
ter nnnitii short in many places it was
enouiiii to dlscor.rase the bravest of men.
Water iin-'s were forme.1 to the wells
where they thought there was any
chance of saving property. This was not
as destructive a tire as the one which
happened several years before. Bat at
the Mse ti:r.e it was bad enough to de
stiny about tw o si lares and quite a num
!Kr of other buildings. The citizens of
Sont-rset i'jMugh now days have no bet
ter trtotect on aunnst lire than they had
then. Although there is no excuse for it
It has been talked of time and arain by
sou;e of tLe citizens who claim that there

have money enough to guard against a

are afrsi 1 f investing a few dollars for

The 1 os cao-el by the fire of May 3,
1570, is estimated a: not less than

THE -OVERSET A CA WBIUA S. X.
The Somerset Jt Mineral Point Rail
road was completed in 1571. As its name
implies, it extended from Kockwood, on
the Pittsburg Ib'viaoa of the RACK.
K.. to Somerset.
In 1n the road passed iuUi the hands
of the B. .'t 0. authorities, and has since
been extended to Johnstown. Ever since
the time that Johnstown became its
northern terminus the "S.4 C has been
an important and, I believe, profitable
branch of the B. A O. section.
THE S.-I.T11 PES-I It. R.
The Socth TenD road was begun in
1SS3. There was considerable work done
in Somerset count" in cuts and fills and
in the taunts. Bat in lvw the work
was suildenly stopped, after an expendi
ture office million of dollars. The aban
donment of tiie SvMiih Pean was a seri
ous blow t- Somerset county prospects
and the I romif-d prosperity and devol
mect of the county at lareij.
Occasionally there are signs that the
Sooth Penn will be built Like Banqao's
ghost, "it wiil not down," but persists in
parading its bleached bones before an
expectant and credulous public. Let na

How it Happened.
An exchange recalls an anecdote
which used to be toid of an ambitious
citizensof Penasylvaaia. who rather in- j
discreetly had set himself op as a caadi-
date for some political cthce, and who, !
after the election, was found to have re- !
ctived only one vote. I
The candidate's mortification was ex- !
treme. and to increase his chagrin all his
neighbors talked as if it were a matter cf ;
fact that he had cast that one ballot him
self. This annoyed him 30 much that he
ficilly offered a suit of clothes, to I
worth n.jt less than $V), to the lone vier
if he would declare himself.
A Dutchman responded to this appeal.
1 proved his claim and called for the re-
ward.
"How did it happen,'' inquired the
candidate, taken quite by surprise, "how
did it happen that yoa voted for me 7
The Dutchman hesitated, but on being
pressed he said :
"F.f I told yoa, you don't go back on
detn clo'es you promise T
"Oh, no ; you shall have the clothes
anyhow."
"Veil, den, I dells yoa. I made a mish
take in de teecket"
A Rubber SidewalK.
There is length of rubier sidewalk
in Edinburgh, and I wact to tell you it
is the finest sidewalk in the wori-J. It is
only about 2j feet long, and the side
walk is alout feet wide. Tne rubber
is fluted so as to allow the water to run
off quickly, and the surface is the most
comf liable to walk on that can well be
ima-rlned. Yoa can't slip if you try, an-!
there is a spring and a "give" that is most
restful to the tired man.
It was laid as an advertisement by a
shopkeeper who sells "macintoshes" and
"golo-ihes," as he calls rubber coats and
rubbers, and although the expense most
have teen heavy I imagine it mast have
yielded good results. He told me the
rubber vii two inches thick anil a1A

The Demands of Justica.
We ire far to narrow in ocr concep
tions of w hat justice means. It makes
many claims cpon us which no law can
evr force and with which public sen

much more than the discharge of pecn

detail of life, an 1 regulates oar conduct
in all the obligations we bear to otaers.
It pronounces upon our behavoir to rela
tives and friends and the community in
which we dwell. It enforces debts of
gratitn !e, of affection, of thoughtful con

of sLilllr.js and pnce. True justice im
