DEATH ON THE RAIL. .
Edward Wolfensberger Crushed to
Death at the S. di C. Station.
Eil. Woliensberger, a popular young brake
man on the Somerset A Cambria railroad
met with a horrible death at tbe station in
ibis place, about 2o minutes after a o'clock
this, Tuesday, morning. While making a
coupling between one of tbe engines and a
car of his train, local freight, it U suppo'-ed
that his foot slipped on a frozsn clod. He
fell between the rails and before he could
recover himself, the wheels on the east side
of the rear truck of the tender crushed hia
right leg from the knee to above tbe hip and
his left hip into a pulp. Hia left arm was
cut off between the elbow and shoulder
His body was otherwise mangled and crush
ed, and when his fellow trainmen rushed to
tbescene in re-tponse to his agonizing shrieks
for help a frightful aight met their view.
The unfortunate young man was tenderly
lifted into a blanket and carried into a
caboose by Conductor Frank McDjnald and
others of hia crew. Physicians were prompt
ly in attendance upon the sufferer and a few
minutes before tea o'clock an engine was
Miached to tbe cabooie and itartei on its
sad journey to Rxkwood.
Wolfensoerger never lost consciousness
until after he had been removed to his home
at Rockwood. Heaiked thoee about him
if they thought he bad any chance of recov
ery and told how the accident happened.
He said that jest as he was about to step
forward to make the coupling he found that
his gum shoe had become frozen to tbe rail
and he was unable to extricate hia foot be
fore the wheels came upon him.
He bade his wife and .family good by be
fore he was piaii j under an anesthetic by
the physicians, prior to dressing his wounds.
The physicians were helple. Death was
inevitable and came to the fcuffirer at lo
minutes past 11 o'clock.
His death has cast a gloom over all the
trainmen and employes of the S. A C. with
whom he was a great favorite.
Although only about T, years of age, Ed.
Wolfensberger had bteu employed as brake
man on the S. &. C. almost ever since the
completion of that road. He frequently act
ed as extra couductor and at different times
run as brakesman on passenger trains. He
was uniformly gentlemanly and polite and
was one of the most popular yonng men in
the employ of the B. Si 0. R R. Co. His
untimely and unnatural death was a severe
shock to bis host of friends.
He was the secoud son of David Wolfens
berger, the well-known proprietor of the
Rockwood House, and leaves a wife and a
young babe,
Death of Wm. B. Frase.
William B. Frease, for many years a
prominent business man of this place, and
Vice President of the Somerset County Na
tional Bank, died shortly before ten o'clock
Wednesday morning. He had been a.'l'.ict
ed with a complication of troubles for a
number of years, and two weeks ago be was
seized with grippe, which developed pneu
monia. His condition had been very criti
cal for several days preceding his death, but
Tuesday his physician and family looked for
a favorable termination of his illness. The
direct cause of death was heart failure. He
was in his (!2nd year, and wai a fn of Mi
chael Frease, of New Cenlieville. IK- leaves
a wife and two children Mrs. Marian
Roach, ofStreator, 111., and Watson, a resi

ing the thirty odd years he was a resident of
this town he had won the esteem and confi
dence of all our people. Shortly after re

Moonshiners Held for Court.
The Fayette county ' moon.Liuers," an
account of whose arrest was recently pub
lished in tbe Hckald, were given a prelim
inary hearing before I'nited Sates Commis
sioner McCandlass last week. Deputy Col
lector P. A. Johns, who was injured in tbe
raid by Lis hoise falling upon him, was
able to be present and give bis testimony.
Jacob Tiukey, who is regarded as the lead
er of the moonshiners, is a middle aged man.
He wore a pair of gum boots and a large,
white blouch hat, pinned up at the sides.
He was very uneasy that morning while lis
tening to the evidence of Johns and the oth
er witness a. Tinkeyissaid to be well off
owning a large farm near where tbe still was
located The other prisoner was James Ma
theny, a West Virginian. He is a yourg
man, perhaps 23 years of age. He claimed
to be a visitor to the still, and when Com
missioner McCandiass fixed his bail at $l,0n0
he wanted it lowered. " I am innocent,
and can prove it," said he.
" Yes, he is an honest man,'' broke in
Tinkey. " He oughtn't to be held at all."
Ejt the Commissioner held him. Assist
ant District Attorney McDonald asked that
Tinkey be held in $2,000 bail, etplainirg
tbat Le was well off, and owned a farm.
" That is too much," said Tinkey. " I can
give e!,wO bail. Tbe whole family is sick,
and there is no one to do anything for
them."
Commissioner McCandiass finally fixed
the bail at and Tinkey got it. James
H. Miller, a Fayette county farmer, went
cn his bond. Miller says be bailed Tinkey
on account of hia wife and family, who are
in a destitute condition.
As the two prisoners were being handcuff
ed together by Deputy Gardner, Matbeny
commenced crjing. There is no evidence
against him, excepting that he was found at
the still.
Tbe cases will likely come up at the March
ttrm of court at Scranton. Tbe prisoners
who can get bail will not be tried till tbe
May term of court that meets in Pittsburgh
Right at Sheriff Kyle's Home.
From the Veyersdalc Commercial.
Wednesday morning at three o'clock this
town was practically in the hands of three
burglars, but the town did not know it, or
tbe threeenterprising gentlemen would bave
remained in tbe town, most likely perma
nently. Bishop Lint's store was entered, and
the .safe forqed ojien and robbed of sixty to
seventy dollars, about l;a!of which belong
ed to his brother William, ?nd U thought
to be church money. Th.y entered the store
by means of duplijcate keys and left on the
Hoor the tools used in opening tie safe two
chisels and a monkey wrench evidently
stolen from tbe Dust Collector Works, as E.
J. Schrock's initials were on the chistils.
Tbey next turned np at J. M. Olinger's, se
curely tying the door so that he could pot
o-n it. Mr. Olinger beard them and dis
charged his revolver at them. They return
ed the fire, but left at once. Officer Weller,
like a good soldier, marched In tbe direction
of the firing. When h finally crossed Dale
street at Truxal's corner they opened on bira.
one of tbe lead pelleta puncturing one of
Shipley's large plate glass, next to Dale
street. Then officer Weller crossed for pro
tection to the Cook t Dal building, but the
three men kept up a rapid fusilade. chipping
the corner bricks behind wbicb officer Wel
ler was. He now opened on them, and
they took to their heels. It was a race of
three to one, and they escaped. Help came
to the officer, but too late for benefit What

Pennsylvania Pensions.
Representative Atkinson, of Pennsylva
nia, introduced a bill in Congress on Tues
daybut to grant pensions to members of the
Pennsylvania militia who were disabled du
ring tbe last war while un lcr the command
of officer! of the United States.
There were a number of regiments of
Pennsylvania militia whose services were
tendered to the Government at critical peri
ods of the war, and who were commanded
by regular ofiicers, and yet who were not
mustered regularly into the service of the
Government. They risked their lives in de
fense of tbe Union the same ss those who had
been mastered into tbe regular army, and
Mr. Atkinson thinks that they should be pen
sioned, at least when disabled while fighting
for tbe country.
Tbe Ohio militia was tendered to the Gov
ernment in tbe same way, but before they
were discharged the officials of that State
took means to see that they were mastered
regularly into the services of tbe govern
ment, hence they received pensions the same
as other veterans, but tbe Tennsylvsnia mi
litia, while doing tbe same service as that
of Ohio, are not at present entitled to pen
sions when disabled. This injustice Mr. At
kinson seeks to remedy by this bill.
Cash Store.
There will be a Cash Store established

J. H. Miller, proprietor of tbe Hardware and
bouse furnishing store of Somerset, will sell
all goods in his Hue for cash after tbe above
date and wiil sell goods from 20 to 2") per cent
lower than other stores Ibst sell on credit.
No books will be kept and all old accounts

Differences In the Prices of Sugar
and Coffee.
There is just cause for complaints made
about the comparative cost of a pound of
sugar and a pound of coffee. The best grade
of sugar can be bought for six to eight cents
a pound, while the best grades of coffee sell
at twenty-live, thirty, thirty-five and forty
cents a pound. Tbe labor of producing
a pound of sugar is more expensive than
that of raising a pound of coffee. Why,
then, should coffee be so much more costly
than sugar ? The explanation is in the fact
tbat tbe production of sugar has more com
petition in it than has tbe growing of a
pound of coffee, which is of tbe character of
a monopoly after it reaches the market, the
syndicate in which is controlled by English
merchants.

Seotiox I. tit it matei ., That any
person liable to road tax, who shall trans
plant to tbe aide of the public highway on
his own premises, any fruit, shade or forest
trees, of suitable size, shall be allowed by
tbe Supervisor of roads, where roads run
through or adjoin cultivated fields, in abate
ment of bis road tax, one dollar for every
four trees set ; but no row of elms shall be
placed nearer than seventy feet, no row of
maples or other forest trees nearer than W
feet, except locust, which may be set thirty
feet apart ; and no allowance, as before men
tioned, shall be made, unless&uch trees shall
have been set out the year previous to tbe
demand for such abatement of tax, and are
living and well protected from animals at
the time of su-:h demand.
SaxTios 2. Any trees transplanted to the
side of the public bigbwsy as aforesaid, in
the place of tres which have died, shall be
allowed for in the same manner and on tbe
sime conditions as in the preceeding section.
Sectios 3. No person shall be allowed an
abatement of bis highway tax as afjresaid
more than one-quarter of his annual high
way tax, and no one shall receive an abate
ment of tax for trees planted previous to the
passage of tbis Act.
Skctiox 4. Any persons who shall cut
down, kiil or injure any living trees plsnted
as aforesaid, shall pay to the Supervisors of

every tree cut down, killed or removed, to
be celK-cted as other road taxes are now col
lected. Approved, tbe Jd day of May A. D., 1&7Q.
Heist M. Hoyt.
As the season for plsnting trees is not ht
distant it ia weil to call attention to those
contemplating the improvement of their
properties to the above Act. In view of tbe
general tendency at tbe present day to level
our forests and turn them into farmlands,
this Act of our lawmakers will tend in some
degree to preserve equilibrium of forest and
field. In addition 10 the comfort of travel
ers who would enjoy the grateful shade, ir
planted along onr highways generally, the
force of wind and storms would to some ex
tent be broken, and the wide expanse of
c'eaiing present a new and pleasing aspect.
