The family of Edmund Smith, who live
in I-atrobe. was poisoned last Tuesday by
eating cheese. It aiiiirs that they had
visitors from IVrry, consisting of Phare.
Keltz, wife and child, and among other arti
cles of food for dinner there was a supply of
cheese. Shortly after partaking of it several
of Mr. Smith's children and the chi'.d of Mr.
Kelti exhibited symptoms of poisoning and
a violent retching and vomiting ensued. A
piivsician was called and administered the
proper remedies and succeeded in favin
their lives. It seems that when cheese is
taken into the stomach with lemonade or
anyacid.it forms an insoluable confound
and acts as a violent irritant, and this is
especially the case when the cheese is not
pure and fresh.

The large steam saw mill belonging to
Cyrta Shaffer and Albert Hemminger, locs
ted iour miles south of town was entirely
consumed by firs one day last week. A
large quantity cf shingles and other sawed
lumber was burned up. The fire was start
ed by sparks from the furnace while all the
workmen were abeut at dinner, and
was beyond control when discovered. The
mill was a comparatively new one and the
loss is quite heavy to the owners.
Theophilus S. Wilson, aged 54 years, pres
ident judge of the Eighteenth judicial district
of Western Pennsylvania, died at 1 o'clock
Monday uioming at the borne of Mr. Ed
ward Nixon, at Indiana, Pa. He came from
his heme in Clarion. Pa., to Indiana some
weeks ago to bold court for Judge Harry
White. Heart failure csused Lis death, ag
gravated by an attack of lnmbago, which
fastened Mr. Wilson to his bed about two
weeks ago. A few hours before dissolution
the deceased called his family to the bedside
and dictated his will to bis son Harry. Then
be signed it. He then fell into a comatose
condition, in which he remained until death
came.
Mention was made some time ago of a fire
in the bam of Cyrus Over, near Bedford,
wnich completely destroyed the contents.
A fine horse was missing, and it was thought
the barn bad been fired by a horsethiof. A
stranger appeared in Williamsburg a few
days after the fire and offered at a very
ridiculous figure to sell a good horse be had
with him. The horse was finally sold to
Joseph Kipe for ('Si, $10 of which was to be
paid in cash and the balance was to be paid
in a week. The man gave Lis name as West
Noble and took his departure, saying he
would return the last of the week for the
balance of the puichase money.
When Mr. Over arrived at Williamhurg
he identified the horse as his property, and
gave an accurate description of the man sus
pected of commuting the theft, which tallied
with the description of West Noble. The
man arrived for the purchase money and
was treated to a surprise by being arrested.
He was brought to this city and lodged in
jail. It appears that the horse was taken
from Mr. Over's barn and the shoes left in
it, in order to create the impression thut the
horse was burned with the barn.
A Successful Institution.
At a meeting of the directors of the First
National Bank, Thursday evening, a semi
annual dividend of three per cent, was de
clared oti the capital stock of that institution
and two thousand dollars was added to the
surplus fund. Both these items were taken
from the earnings of the bank for the past
six months. The First National has been in
existence a little over s year and a half. In
that time it has acromulated a surplus fund
of six thousand dollars, and besides
paying a handsome rate of interest
on their investment to its stockholders.
That the careful and conservative policy of
iu management has given it the fullest con
fidence of the business community as a safe
and it-liable depoeitory, is illustrated by the
constant increase in the number of its
pi-trons and volume of business. The First
National has well supplied along-felt want
in this community, and its founders are to
be congratulated npon the very nattering
suci-esii accorded to their under"aing.
A New Enterprise for Somerset
County.
' Somerset Stone Company " is the came
cf a new corporation recently chartered by
the Ptate. The object of the company is to
quarry, buy and sell stone and to manufac
ture sand from stone and sell the sind. The
officers are John Murdck, President; J. M.
Murlock, Secretary and Treasurer; Josiah
Woy, E. Holbrjok, H. H. Woodward and
W. F Muruock, Directors. The capital
stock i$M,0fi.
The company own tract of 50 acres of
land a short distance north of Mi! ford sta
tion, on the line of the Somerset A' Cambria
Railroad, and bet wen two and three miles
ea-t of this point tbay have purchased
what are known as the Bare Eocks,"
a tract of about eight hundred acres. On
the latter tract there is about one hun
dred acres of solid rock, particularly adapt
ed to heavy bridge work, engine foundations,
capping, and for building purposes general
ly. They are of a splendid color, and pure
sand. They lie in larg square blocks, the
average depth being twenty feet. On this
tract there is also large lot of valuable
pine and oak timber.
A railroad is being constructed from s
point on the Company's land near Milford
Station, where it will connect with theS. A
C. r.ad to the rocks. The road is 21 miles
in length, almost one-half of which has al
ready been graded, and the large force of
workmen now engaged will probably com
plete the grading within the next two weeks.
The road will be of standard gauge
The company will have their own engine
and other rolling-stock. The grade of the
road U about 1-0 feet to the mile, but as all
loaned cars are hauled down the steep grade
will be no obstacle. The cost of the grading
bas been remarkably low ; it will not ex
ceed one dollar per rod. A seven foot coal
vein bas been opened on the Milford Station
tract where coal for the engine and house
house purposes will be supplied. This tract
is also underlaid with a vein of valuable
fire-clay which will be opened and worked
in the near future. The comjny proposes
laying off a portion of this tract in building
lots and here they will erect an engine bouse
dwellings for their employees and other
buildings. In addition to quarrryisg and
dressing stone they will pnt up a sand
crusher and in this way will ntiiiie the
spalls and such stone as are nnfit for build
ing purpoaas. Tbey expect to ship from ten
to twenty car loads of stone, the supply of
which is practically inexhaustible, per day.
The parties engaged in this enterprise are
well-known, thorrugb-going business men
which is in itself a guarantee of theirsuc-su'-cess
of their un lertaking.
License Fees Next Year.
Governor rattison hiving approved the
Whole-ale and Retail License bills, as stated
recently, the general provisions of the new
law regulating the liquor traffic will be
;ti.diei. The LVtail License bill provides
th it the fees shall be raid into the treasury
of the city, county, borough or township,
wherever the licensed places are situated.
The fees are as follows :
In cities of the first and second classes,
; third class cities, $500, and other
cities, ; boroughs. $150; townsbiiie,
In cities $10u, and in boroughs and
townships one-fifth the amount of licenses,
shall be paid to the treasurers of the respec
tive counties, and the balance to the treas
urers of the respective citieti, borcughu and
township, for their respeteivs use. The
money paid into the township treasuries is
to be applied to keeping the roads in good
repair.
The Wholesale License bill provides that
the fees in the cities of the first and second
classes shall be $1,000; ihird-ciass, $V0;
other cities, $3"t boroughs, $JO; town
hips, $100. This money all goes into the
State Treasury. I nder this law the Bottlers'
li.'ense in cities is fixed at i&4 ; boroughs.
$.i'i0, and townships, $100.
The Corn's New Enemy.
The little bug which Mr. Jacob L Kauf
man, of Conemaugb township, recently dis
covered working on his com, bas made such
an impression in other parts of the country
that the Agricultural Department is on to it
and an expert wbo was sent out to inter
view the animal says that the bug belongs
to a family of com -hill bogs, of which there
are half a dozen varieties, and it works un
der groend by inserting its bill into yonng
plants and extracting the juice. The reason
wby it is not so freqaenUy discovered is
doubtless owing to the fact that it works
below the surface.
Whiie the reports of the damage done by
this family are not very frequent, it is pos
sible that many cornfields wbiuh are blight
ed from causes nnknown to their pwners
may owe their destruction to the corn bug.
The agent has had reports that the pest was
known in 1533, and has been noticed sever
al times since, but it bas never become epi
) identic like the potato bug.
"Uncle Sam's" Natal Day.
On Hundred and Fifteenth Anni
versary of Our Independence Fit
tingly Celebrated.
The members of Iriquois Council Jr. O.
I. A. M. are to be congratulated. They
had not only a perfect day for their celebra
tion, bnt every arrangement was pert-ct.
The display they made and the patriotic en
tbusiasm they created will not soon be for
gotten by the thousands cf people wbo pur
ticipated in the festivities. The two or three
days preceding the Fourth were devote to
decorating the public sqoare and court house
squire. When the sun came up Saturday
morning, it shone forth on the brightest spec
tacle that ever graced this mountain town.
Beautiful evergreen arches, adorned with
dozens of Hags, spanned the streets leading
into ths public square, while from a bril
liantly covered pole in the centre long stream
ers of red, white and blue bunting floated
out to the arches, where they were caught
up.
All the business houses in town were gai
ly decorated with flags, bright-colored ma
terials, and evergreens. The stars and stripes
fluttered from every residence. The court
house square, where the eagle shrieked, pre
sented a particularly pretty etTeot. Flags
floated from the white belfry of the temple
of justice. Clouds of bunting were gathered
in graceful festoons between the stately
kpillars of the portico. The jail, next door.
looked nothing like a cold prison bouse, be
neath tbe brilliant decorations that covered
the walls and bid the iron bars at its win
dows. The bronzed and stately soldier, with
a wreath of flowers swung around his shoul
ders, looked benignly down from tbe mon
ument in the south-wejt corner of the
lawn npon the excited people, who were
cheering the birthday of ths country he had
fought to preserve. Hundreds of bright Chi
nese lanterns danced among the green leaves
of the silver maples, and over the heads of
the men and women who had assembled to
hear patriotic oratory.
The festivities were commenced at an early
hour Fri.lay vening, when heavens artil
lery thundered fourth peal after peal, illu
minating the skies and dampening the earth.
For a time tbe hearts of the young Ameri
cans were tilled with despair but the rain
clouds had all rolled by before nine o'clock
and the stars winked kindly at the boys
whose packets were bulging out with fire
crackers and torpedoes.
All the chure-h bells in town rang forth at
3 o'clock, proclaiming liberty and happiness
to all raen in tones that must have been
gratifying to the shade of John Adams but
which called forth exclamations of wrath
from tbe older citizens thus harshly aroused
from pssareful slumber. Sleep was entirely
out of tbe question not only were the
bells ringing in wild confusion but hun
dreds of horns were belching forth unheard
of noises. Every one concluded that if be
was to take pert in celebrating I'ncle Sam's
lloth anniversary he might as well begin
early, and when jocund tiiy stood tip toe on
the misty mountain top our streets were
swarming with men and boys. Delegations
from the out laying districts arrived every
few minutes until ( o'cl k when the main
streets were so densely crowded that one
found it bard work laboring Lis way be
tween the people. Msrshall music filled
such portions of the air as ha 1 not already
been pre-occupied by the report of firecrack
ers and other explosives.
At 9 o'clock Iroquois Council Jr. O. L.
A- M. formed in line and. beaded by the
Somerset Cornet Band, marched to the sta
tion, where they awaited the arrival of the
excursion train hearing the Councils from
Johnstown, Davidsville, Hooversville and
Stoyestown. On the rrival of the train at
9 '25 the line was re-formed, and after escort
ing Hon. J. D. Hicks, tf ho was accompanied
by his accomplished nife and who rode in
a carriage at the bead of the procession, to
the Somerset House, the visiting Councils
were escorted to the lodge room in the La. r
Block, where they werj cordially welcomed.
The procession formed shortly after noon
and paraded through the princil streets of
town. It was headed by a platoon of mount
ed police and officers of the Jr. O. V. A. M,
followed by distinguished visitors and citi
zens in carriages, Somerset cornet band,
visiting Councils Jr. 0. U. A. M., bands of
music and drum corps. AH of the aides
were mounted. The Lavsnsville Council
were also mounted. After the route of pro
cession had been traversed all members of
the Jr. O U. A. M. filed into the Court
House yard, where they were served with
an excellent dinner by the ladies of Somer
set. When dinner was despatched all joined
tbe crowd in front of the speakers' stand,
where Assistant Postmaster Frank Sanner
read the Iecitiration of Independence in
ciear and distinct tones. J. A. Berkey, Esq.,
master of ceremonies, introduced A. J.
Ceilborn, Jr., of Se-ranton. Mr. Col bora
bowed his acknowledgment of the enthu
siastic reception tendered him and said :
"I love Somerset, not because I was born
here, but because here was implanted in my
breast a love for freedom and patriotism,
and I am honored to address you, my
friends, on this occasion." Mr. Colborn
then delivered one of the most eloquent and
patriotic half-hour addresses ever listened to
by an assembly of Somerset county people,
and most of whom were surprised to learn
tha our "young Jack" is an orator of such
power and ability. In bis brief talk be cov
ered the history of our country's glory so
completely that little was left to be said by
the eloquent speiikers who followed him.
He was frequently interrupted by the hearty
applause of the vast crowd.
After a selection of music had been ren
dered Hon. J. 1). Hicks, of Alt.tona, was in
troduced and deli vered a short address. He
was well received and warmly applauded.
He was followed by Wm. H. Koontz, E-q.
A large supply of fire works were shot off
in the public square in the evening, and at
tracted almost the entire population of town
to that point. The display was very credit
able. soils or THE PAY".
The most attractive feature of the parade
was tbe drum-major. It was Master Her
manus Baer's fir.-t appearance in that role.
and as he marched in front of the Somerset
Cornet Band and dexterously tossed a
highly-polished brass baton into the air and
skillfully caught it, twirled it between his
finirers and erforroed many graceful ma
noeuvres, be called forth the admiration of
all who saw him.
The crowd was variously estimated at
from 7,'. to 1V"'. UI,J was Lej-001! doubt
tbe largest ever collected in Somerset The
Railroad company was unable to haul ut
least one-tbird of the people wbo desired t
come to town and the trainmen were com
pelled to attach a Hat car to tbe ta;t-ngt r
train soon afir leaving Johnstown in order
to accommodate the people. Seventy-six
persons were crowded into the bagguge car
at Stoyestown and between there and Sora
-net it was impossible to take on board one
half of tbe people who were anxious to ride.
A special train from Rock wood arriving at
lo.3 was crowded with people from tbe
south snd the noon train brought an addi
tional large crowd.
Cashier Parker of tbe first National Back
displayed an old portrait of Washington
among the flag that filled the large window
of the bank.
Our merchants all report their sales on
the 4th as being unusually large. Dealers
in di-corations and fire works disposed of
their entire stock.
An entirely original and novel decoration
and by odds tbe prettiest was in the show
window of James B. Holde.-haum's hard
ware store. A carriage wheel filled with
evergreens furnished the background for
neatly contrived iasigma of the Jr. O. U. A
M. A carpenter's sqnare furnished the two
lower lines of a diamond and a pair of sa ws
composed the upper lines. A blacksmith's
hammer and a revolver adorne-i the centre
and mechanic's tools of all descriptions sur
rounded the insignia. All of tbe article-s
wops highly polishbd and the effect was very
pleasing and attractive.

Sugar Producers.
Tbe Internal Revenue otriee of Western
Pcnsylvania, situated in Pitt -burgh, bas re
ceived about two hundred and fif:y applica
tions for licen and Deputy Collector Har
vey J. Mitche'.l says that when ail the ap
plication filed have been received, their
number will reach about UtJ.
" The sugar producers," says Mr. MitcL.-il,
" are confined principally to Somerset coun
ty, where the sugar maple grows in great
abundance. Owing to the fact that the am
ple sap only rnns in the spring, tbe payment
of the bounty can only commence ntxtyear
when tbe producers wiil notify us of the
amount of sugar raised. Then an officer
will have to be sent to testify, for npon the
test depends tbe amount of bounty. Vpon
sugar testing So to degrees by the polario
scope the bounty will be 1 1 cents per pound.
Above 'JO per cent., 2 cents per pound. Af
ter tbe test a written statement is sent on to
Washington, and the bounty is mailed from
there
" Under the law a producer, to be entitled
to the bountv. must raise 500 pounds or
over, yearly. There are hundreds of maple
sugar raisers wbo do not produce 200 pounds
and cannot at present be entitled to any
bounty. These farmers have been induced
to go extensively into the sugar culture, and
are turning their attention toward sorgbum
and beet sugars, as well as maple.
" From the applications handed tn the
most of tbe farmers estimate every maple
tree's producing capacity at from 31 to 4
pounus, though some rate the capacity as
pounds. From this it win be seen mat u
t:.kes about li" trees to make enough sugar
to entitle a produ.-er to bounty. Some of
the farmers have sent in statements that they
bave fully 5,0c trees capablf of producing
about 17..X.0 pounds of maple sugar. If this
proved high grade sugar, the bounty would
amount to i'.'M.

The Somxrset Hzbvld, now in the for

of Col. Scull, has lost none of its old-tliae
vigor, but each of its many volumes has
been brighter and better than its predecess
