The excursion train to the Hyndman camp-meeting, Sunday, carried only a small number of people from this place, but was crowded long before it arrived at the camp grounds. Never before in the history of the association has there been such a large at tendance and such a prosperous season to the management. One of the greatest attrac tions on the camp grounds is the lecturer, Mrs. Dr. Krecher, recently from Japan. It is reported that friends of Policeman Kelly, of Johnstown, and Lucas Meyers, of La t robe, both of whom were killed on the S 4 C. Railroad Sunday a week, have com menced suit against the Bulto. and Ohio Railroad Company to recover damages. Expressman Milton Pile, who was seriously injured in the same accident, ha alsj com menced legal proceedings against the rail road company. A number of persons on Main Cross street were terror-stricken Monday morning, when a stranger, wearing glasses, and driving a double team op the street, with his wife and two-year-old child occupying the buggy with him, attempted to aiake a short turn in front of the First National Bank. The man was evidently unaccustomed to driving, as he turned so sharp that the buggy upset in a jiffy, spilling all of the occupants under the wheels. The horses behaved excellently, and the unlucky driver, his wife and child, were all extricated without sustaining scratch. About forty ladies and gentlemen from this place drove over to Berlin, Saturday af ternoon, to witness tbe lawn tennis tournament between the clubs of the two towns. A number of guesta were pres ent from Meyersdale. and quite a crowd sur rounded the court when the game was call ed, at 4 o'clock. The players were Krissing er and Brallier for Berlin, and Endaiey and Berkley for Somerset. Three sets were play ed, and resulted in Somerset winning two of the three. After the contest was decided, an exhibition ga" P'?ed bT tbe Misses Boyd, of New York, and Messrs. Parker and Graver. A second series of games will be played between the same clubs on the Som erset ground, some Azf next week. Death of Lieut. Alaxander Ogl. Lieutenant Alexander Ogle died very suddenly and unexpectedly Saturday after- noon in tbe city of Pittsburgh, wither he bad gone for the purpose of consulting a physician. His death was caused by heart failure, superinduced by Addison's disease of the kidneys. He was t2 years of age. Lieutenant Ogle, was the eldest son of tbe late Hon. A. J. Ogle. He was grauated from the West Point Military Academy in 1872. I'pon graduating he was assigned to the 17th I'. S. Infantry and did service in tbe army of his country on the western frontier. About one year ago be was detailed Instruct or of Tactics at tbe I'niversity of Ohio, at Columbus. Failing health compelled him to resign tbat position this spring, and, caring a six month's sick leave, he came to Somerset and was a guest at the home of his sister, Mrs. F. J. Kooser. Lieutenant Ogle was married about twelve fear ago to Miss Zoe Godfrey, daughter of a prominent physician, of Ottawa, Ohio, and sister of Captain Ed. Godfrey. TJ. 8. A who with two children, Leslie, a girl of nine and A. J. Ogle, Jr., a boy of seven years, survive him. Mrs. Ogle and her chil dren had been called to the home of her father, by the serious illness af a member of her family, only ten days before and went away from Somerset believing that the health of the husband and father was surely and rapidly improving. The funeral took pUce at 9 o'clock this Tuesday, morning from the residence of F, Kooser, tsq. Keligious services tft con ducted at the house by Elder Peter Vogel, of the Disciples church, after which the body was delivered to comrades of R. P. Cummins Post G. A. R. for burial. Tbe pall bearers were members of Somerset Masonic Lodge, Lieutenant Ogle being a member of Shiloh Lodge, No. 105, Fargo. North Dakota. At the cemetery the beautiful G. A. R. ceremony for tne dead was recited by Commander A. C, Davis and aids, tbe burial vollies were fired, tape "lights out" was sounded, when the saddened funeral party turned weeping from tbe open grave. Lieutenant Ogle's career in the army was honorable in every particular. He was de voted to the service. Extremely popular wherever he was known he was held in the strongest affection by the officers and men of his regiment and the army. A t another time, perhaps, the writer can record the love which he inspired among his home friends, but his heart is too heavi ly ladened with sympathy for the bereaved family and personal sorrow to perform that duty to-day. Took the Nicely Route. Three of the five prisoners confined in the county jail decided to leave that institution Monday, and selected the Nicely route as tbeir line of travel. Sheriff Good was away from home, and Deputy Barron, after giv ing the prisoners their midday meal, had gone to bis borne for his dinner. He bad left the prison but a very short time when the escape was made. About half-past welve o'clock several small boys coming up tbe jail alley saw a hole in tbe jail wall from which dangled a rope ladder. They at once ran to the Court House and gave the alarm. Prolbonotary Sanner was in his office, and on bearing the boys' story repaired quickly to tbe rear of tbe jail building, arriving there time to receive in his arms Oue Frank Stewart, as he dropped from the rope ladder to the ground. Stewart was at once hustled back into tbe prison, when it was ascertain ed that two ot tbe inmates were missing George Largent and Benjamin Day. Depu ty Sheriff Barron organized a posse and start ed in pursuit of tbe missing men, who had been seen running in the direction of oak ridce, a strip of wood :s directly east of town. Day was captured and returned to the prison about three hours after he bad left it. largent has not yet been re taken, but it is altogether likely that that he will be within the next twenty-four hours. By picking the lock on the trap door the prisoners gained access to the attic and punching tbe brick out of the bole that had been dug in Uie wall by the Nicelys tbey slid to the ground on a rope made from one of the cell hammocks. Seriously Burned. Harry, the twelve-year old son of W. T. Horton, manager of tbe Somerset Lumber Company, at Ohio Pyle, was seriously and probably fatally burned Saturday afternoon, at the residence of his father near that place, by the explosion of an oil can. Mr. Horton keeps a number of colonies of Italian bees, and the boy was preparing a torch, prepara tory to removing the honey from the hives. While pouring oil into the torch from an oil can, his little sister, Annie, threw lighted match into the stream of oil, causing an explosion. The force of tbe explosion knocked the boy back quite a distance. here he lay unconscious for some time, ilh blotches of burning oil all over his body. The screams of his sister brought several grown members of the family to the rescue. Tbe boy's' feet, arms and shoulders were burned to a crisp. He was resting quietly Tuesday morning, under the care of Dr. B. A. Fichtner, of Confluence. On Both Feet Again.

Wesley Burns Comes to Grief. From the Heyendale Regtaer. Some time ago Officer Waller received a letter from Bedford county signed by Mrs, Melinda Mock, in which she asked the effi cient policeman for information concerning one John W. Mock, tbe writer's husband. bo, she alleged, had deserted her eleven years ago, leaving her with se viral small children to provide for. According to the statement contained in tbe letter Mock had married another woman, and, as Mrs. Mock believed, was now located in Meyersdale' and she desired tbe arrest of her bigamous husband. The appeal of tbe wronged woman touch ed tbe kind-hearted officer and he determin ed to butt tbe fellow down. He procured a tin-type picture of the recreant husband. Armed with this he bad little difficulty in identifying him in the person of Wesley W. Burns, quiet and gentlemanly looking man of 35 or 40 years, employed at Price's planing mill. He communicated the fact to Mock's wife, .'quietly bagged the game. and turned the prisoner over to constable Peter 1 tarn dollar, of Bedford, who lodged him in the Bedford jail, where be is await ing trial Mock has bad a variegated career. He had several aliases, and was known here as W. W. Burns, He also went under the name of U. W. Bums, and probably others. It is stated tbat after he deserted his wife be went to Johnstown, where be married another woman, who was killed in tbe crush at the theatre fire In that city. Later, it is alleged, be married again, the third wife being killed by being thrown from car riage. Subsequently be drifted to Somerset and afterward to Meyersdale, where he bas since been employed. He is good mechanic, of quiet demeanor and pleasing address, ap parently not at all tbe sort of man who would or could be guilty of such a career of it. amy. Wesley Burns was a resident of this place for a number of years, and for a short time served ss policeman. He was married to a Miss Coleman, of near Lull P. 0 who was tramped to death in a panic in s Johnstown theatre about two yeais ago.

A Family Reunion. The home of Mr. William Berkey in Stoyestown was the scene of a very interest ing event on Tuesday, August 4th. The oc casion was Mr. Berkey OS birthday, and the members of his family quietly arranged for a pleasant surprise, and at the same time for a general family reunion. The appearance of five or six carriages be fore the door on Tuesday morning was the first intimation of anything unusual at the old home. It was not long, however, until the uninvited though not unwelcomed guests filled the house. Four sons and four daught ers who with their families made a com pany of thirty-seven, came to make tbe day one long to be remembered. Tbe happy father after receiving the congratulations and good wishes of all was seated ins beautiful easy chair, the gift of bis boys, while the ladies of the party brought well filled baskets and a Urge extension table which was soon filled with tbe choicest viands and delicacies of the farm and grocery together could con tribute. A photographer from Johnstown, took a picture of this happy group, and then all gathered around tbe prepared feast to which ample justice was done. The day was spent most pleasantly and in the even ing tbe company separated with the hope that Father and Mother Berkey might live long to enjoy many similar occasions. Tbey are both in the enjoyment of good health, but are now left alone, all tbe children hav ing btn married. Six of the sons and daughters live on farms about Stoyestown. The youngest son is the present County Su perintendent of schools, and the youngest daughter was lately married to Mr. Ott of Johnstown. A Fkikd. Wanted.

One of the charges is that a demented paint er named Ford bad been severely beaten and carried down stairs and chained to the floor for refusing to go to tbe station and help carry up some meat. An inmate named Gaffney, of South Huntingdon township, says that he has frequently seen nurses and attendants striKe tne inmates violent blows ith their fists. Steward Weaver denies the charges except in the case of the painter Ford. He admits that he was chained to the oor, hut ays it was for drawing a knife on im, as well as for his refusal to obey orders. Weaver and hi attendants claim that the Stonerville man made the charges because he wa not appointed a nurse. An examin ation of tbe institution disclosed that the rooms of some of the inmates were in a very filthy condition. Simons, one of tbe nases, chargi-d with causing the death of an in valid patient by beating him. Simons vig orously denies this, and suys tbe man came to bis death from natural causes. The Grand dry some time since arraigned Weaver for negligence, incompetence, dereliction and unfitness for the position. If the above rev elations are truthfully reported it would seem that the Grand Jurors knew what they were talking about. Steward Weaver says be courts the fullest investigation.

An Ounce of Prevention Worth a Pound of Cure. In view of tbe fact thai the beat will be intense for the next month or so, nothing could be more timely than the circular just issued by the State Board of Health, which tells bow to cure sunstroke nases, and better still, how to prevent them. The fol lowing extracts are w-vth preserving: 'Jar, cioae-nitmg doming and sucn as cooipressts tbe chist and neck should be avoided. On very hot days one should drink fre quently, but in a nail quaotities.

"Sunstroke must be carefully distinguish ed from heat exhaustion, in which the gen eral symptoms are similar to sunstroke, but the bodily temperature is below the normal Tbe difference can be at once recognized by feeling the skin underneath the ciotbiflg ; in sunstroke the skin feels burning hot, in beat exhaustion it is cold. HOW TO TKFAT SiasTSOEK. The prescribed treatment for cases of sun stroke is as follows : Carry the patient into a cool and shaded place, where is plenty of pure, fresh air, and strip his clothing to the waist, and place him in a recumbent position. Pour cold water (ice water i.i bent) upon his bead and chest until consciousness returns. The points at which the blood may be most effectually cooled are the wrists, the temples, and the ears, because at those points it approaches tbe surface more nearly in conaiderable quantities. Internally, small doses of brandy may be administered with success ; but in all cases of sunstroke the patient should, as soon as possible, be placed in charge of a competent physician. Tbe patient should do no men tal work for some months, snd should keep free from all excitement. Persons who have once suffered from sunstroke are liable to a second attack. Insanity, In some of its va ried forms, frequently follows sunstroke. In heat exhaustion give alcoholic stimu lants and place the patient in a hot bath, so as to raise tbe bodily temperature.

The sun put on his beet bib and tucker yesterday, and started in to shine royally in any kind of society. In order to do tbe thing np in proper style he took along Miss Humidity, and the way that pair did cut ca pers as they strolled arm in arm over Phila delphia was terrifying. There has not been as hot an August day for 17 years ss yester- uay. Shortly after noon the sun climbed np to 07 degreess, and Miss Humidity modestly remained at 80 degrees. From all indica tions at the Weather Bureau the worst has not yet been seen. At any rate, the weath er will be excessively warm for everal days yet, and those who do not take kindly to the roasting, baking, bliitering dog-days would do well to dig np tbeir savings and flee to the mountains or seashore. Those who do go to escape the hot weath er can make np their minds to stay, too. for the weather sharps of Tncle Jerry Kusk pri-dicta tbat tbe entire month will be sway aoovc tne average August in point of huat. There will probably be slight periods of refrcshingcoolness following viol, ot elec tric storms, but I nele Jerry is not so sure of this ; therefore it will not do to be counted on.
