REV. GEORGE HARRIS
A Somerset County Minister Com
mits Self-Murder.
Bev. George Harris, son of Mr. and Mrs.
David Harris, of West Salisbury, this coun
ty, committed suicide at New Orange, Ma?.,
where lie had charge of Universalis
church, on Saturday evening, 12th inst.
Press reports from that place say that it is
staled on good authority that the cause of
the suicide was an unsuccessful love affair.
Mr. Harri left Orange the Wednesday be
fore and was gone until Saturday. Soon af
ter his return he made up and sent by mail
under register a package of letters to a young
woman in East Charlealown, Vermont, from
wbirb place he bad just returned. The reg
istry receipt was found in his pocket
Upon returning to Orange be went first to
his boarding house and soon afterwards to
the parsonage, which he occupied alone.
He must have 'shot himself at once for be
had not removed his overcoat.
IVvehpraeLta seem to show that young
Harris was an unusually ardent lover. It is
taid that daring the fifteen months' pastorate
of A! arris he had courted at least a dosen
girls. His courting hours ran into the early
moruing. He often hid behind trees when
returning home if be saw anyone coming,
so as not to attract atteution. His attention
to a pretty school teac her were so marked as
to cause scandal.
The teacher was warned that there must
be a reform, and she was transferred to
another school. Harris followed her there,
and she was dismissed. There were other
young women to whom Mr. Harris paid
marked attention, and tcandal followed.
His love making took so much of his Line
that it is alleged he was remiss in his pasto
ral duties. He was a briiiiant extempora
neous sieaker, and his faults were overlook
ed. When he reached Athol on Saturday
night, on bis return from East Charleston,
Vt., he hired a man to drive him to North
Orange, He seemed in good spirits, and
sang gayly. He found a large basketful of
letters awaiting him, and be read them ea
gerly. Among the U tters was one that bore the
postmark of Salem. After reading the let
ters he burned them. Then, eating a light
supper, he went to the parsonage, did up a
bundle of keepsakes, addressed them to a
young woman in East Charleston, mailed
them, returned to the parsonage, and, as the
position of the body shows, stood in front
of the mirror when be fired the fatal shot.
Harris' loreuts came to West Salisbury
tenor twelve years ago, and his father is
said to be one of the most intelligent miners
iu the E'.k Lick region. George was looked
upon as a youth of unusual promise by the
people of that neighborhood, and a brilliant
career was predicted lor him by all who
knew him. He was 22 years old and bad
only been ordained as a minister in the
Univcrsalist church one year ago. His
stricken parents left for the scene of the
tragedy as soon as they received the news.
AH Are Willing.
It is nnderstood that the following mem
bers of the Democratic party are willing to
serve their country in the capacity of post
masters. Many of those named have already
commenced circulating jietilioiis in their
own behalf.
The applicants for the post offi at Mey
ersdale are J. M. Oats, W. A. Ingnian, W.
II. Hay and Michael Shannon. J. F. An
thouy, Fied Grof, 1L 3. Eabecka, and J. W.
Young, are mentioned as possible candidates.
Confluence presents the names of George
C. Grof, John Reynolds, Fletcher Critchfieid
John Show and a Mrs. Scott, as candidates
for the jstoflice in that place.
Over in Berlin it is understood that Mrs.
Heiiley, who served Very acceptably as post
mistress under Cleveland's first administra
tion, wiil be aa applicant for reappointment.
Miss Annie Hcffi.'J, Mis Emma Wright,
Wm. l'owel and Frank Collins are also re
ported to be candidates for the Berlin office.
Thomas E. Null and W. E. Melx, are both
anxious to distribute the mails for the pat
rons of the post office at Addison.
William E. Zimmerman and Paul B.
Scb lag are applicants for the Stoyestown
office.
Eockwood presents the names of Charles
Ben ford. Harrison Baker and John Stein as
candidates for the potitoffice in that town.
No candidates have been reported from
Ursina np to date, but it is believed that
A. Levy w ould not object to serving the
people of that village as postmaster.
Somerset has at least twenty candidates
for the posloffice. A majority of them have
not ojjenly declared themselves as seeking
the office up to this time. Among those
who are reported to have an eye on the posi
tion are A. H. CoJroth, of the Dixnooral ;
Charles H. Fisber, Curds Grove, James B.
Tredwell, Geo. W. Benford, Solomon Shoe
maker, Kichard J. Vought A number of
deserving ladies, who pin their faith to the
Democratic party, are also said to be appli
cants. Longs for the Old Home.
A few days ago the editor of the Hisalo
received a package by express from Aua
rooea, Iowa. Upon opening it he found that
it contained a curiously constructed box
and a number of trinkets, and was a present
from Adam Deitz. who Is an inmate of the
Iowa State Penitentiary. The box ia 11x17
inches and contains different pieces of
wood eight diBerent varieties all neatly
joined together and highly polished. The
trinkets consisted of several paper-weights,
carved from the same quality of rock the
Anamosa prison is built of, and a Dumber
of neatly made L O. O. F. watch charms.
AH of the articles were made by Deitz and
they represent the painstaking toil of many
weary dsys. Deitz directed that one of the
articles be given to ex-Judge Baer and one
to Hon. A. J. Colborn.
Adam Deitz will be remembered by near
ly all of the older and middle-aged in-n of
the county as a successful veterinary sur
geon. He was born in Upper Turkey foot
township and practiced bis profession in
this county until about 1870, when be re
moved to Lanark, I'd. While a resident of
that place Diets became ensnared in the
meshes of a vile woman, who subsequently
poisoned her husband in the town of Mari
on, Benton couuty, Iowa. The woman was
convicted of murder and sentenced to the
penitentiary for eighteen years. Shortly af
ter entering upon her trm of imprison
ment and with the hoe of securing a par
don she made a confession, impt'cattng
Die': in the murder. Delia's arrest follow
ed. On the trial of the case the woman was
the principal witness against him. She
swore that she had cohabited with Dialz fur
several years and that it was at his instance
she had poisoned her husband and that
Deitz bad furnished her with the poison
with which the deed was committed. I n-fa.-tucately
for the prisoner he appeared in
Marion a day or two following that upon
which the poison bad been administered to
the deceived husband, and a chain of circum
stantial evidence was woven around bim.
He was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for a term of twenty years.
This was in l&tl and Diets has served a lit
tie over one-half of his sentence. He now
has an application for pardon before Got.
Boies, of that State, and wnies that he Las
strong hopes of securing bis freedom. In
case be does be promisee to return to Penn
sylvania to live out the remainder of his
days. He is now sixty years of age.
Died man tains that be is entirely Inno
ceut.ofaay complicity in the murder cf
which be was convicted, and insists that be
w aa at bis home, 140 miles away, at the time
it was committed. He feels bis confine
ment sorely, bat is hsppy in having s clear
conscience and having placed bis faith in
the Lord.

No Ox Roast This Time.
NOT EVEN A JOLLIFICATION
MEETING,
Until It Has Been Decided
Who Gets the Plums-
Just about eight years ago, on one of the
bleakest days of November, the Democracy
of Somerset county assembled ia this place
to celebrate the victory of Cleveland and
Hendricka. Faces were seen upon the street
of this town that day that had rarely been
seen here before and had evidently been at
tracted by the Jacksonian cry, " To the vic
tors belong the spoils."
They could hardly believe the strange
sound of victory that filled their ears. Ma
ny of them construed it as a call to office.
A fier spending a larg portion of the day in
a howling blizzard, cheering for Cleveland,
gorging themselves with sections of roast ox.
and iocidantally promises of "soft snaps" in
the government service, they were too full
for utterance.
But the ides of March bad hardly waned
ere they discovered that there were "too
many pins for the boles," and following
this unpleasant discovery run 4 the paralyz
ing announcement that President Cleveland
bad determined to recognize the Mugwumps
who had been instrumental in securing his
election and would reward them with a lib
erl share of the federal patronage
Then it was that ctsses long and load
were beard. Cleveland was denounced as an
ingrate and expressions such as these were
beard : "Cleveland's no Democrat. We
might as well have a Republican President
for all the difference it makes."
Later on the clouds in the local Democrat
ic heaven became brighter. The country
postoflioes passed into the hands of members
of that party. But there were not enough
posUorUces to go 'round, and than it was
that a great black wave of discontent came
rolling along and split the party into two
factious.
Another Democratic tidal wave has swept
over the country, but the local Democrats do
not seem disposed to celebrate it with an ox
roast. They are decidedly backward about
coming forward. They can't even work up
enough enthusiasm to hold a jollification
meeting. Tbey positively refuse to euthuae
until they can Had out where they ate au
Which faction is to control the patronage
must be answered before they tumble over
one another in an effort to make the most
noise and attract attention. They are deter
mined not to be placed iu the same predica
ment they found themselves in eight years
ago. Who pays the freight (?) musi first be
decided.
As indicated. in the Hzxald last week the
leaders of both factions are uncertain of
their footing. O.ie or the other ia standing
on qaicksand. Which one ia it? is the
q lestion that continues to torment the rank
and file of the party.
The editor of the Democrat "is solid" for
the postoiHee (if be wants it) no matter who
deals out the pap." His good offices have
all been used to quell strife and disorganiza
tion ia the ranks. He has been called upon
to take the reins of party as Chairman of the
County Committee in order to placate the
"disorganizers." and the columns of his pa
per have blazed away at the opposition in
and out of season. If he is not entitled to
the best offi'e in the gift of his party in the
county we know not who is.
a new aicHxosD is thz field.
If that venerable old damsel, Madam Ru
mor, is to be credited, Editor Co tl roth has
very formidable opposition in the person of
Major James B. Tredwell, editor of the new
Democratic journal, the leilrfe. It is gene
rally understood that the Vedette was called
into existence to expound pure Jeffersonian
doctrines. It is also alleged that the Demo
crat has not only strayed after false gods bat
that its policy has been dictated by the
"rule or ruin faction" and that it has uni
formly failed to give the "disorganizers" re
cognition. The latter faction claim that the
weekly hum-drum of the Dtmoerat'i editori
al columns gave them "that tiied feeling,"
and that rather than endure it longer they
concluded to establish an organ of theu
own. The Ytdetie is the result.
The Hiiald has frequently had occasion
to say that Major Tredwell is one of the
most versatile newspaper writers in this part
of the State. As a caadidate for the post of
fice he lias many elemeuts of strength. He
comes from a family who date fheir copper
riveted Democracy back to the origin of
that party, several of tbem having otxupied
high positions iu the National councils of
the party. Of those now living two cr
three are Democrats of National reputation.
Then, too. Major Tredwell has an excellent
military record. When the first call for
troops was issued be was a youthful barris
ter in the city of Lancaster. Closing his
books, he joined the local military compa
ny, the first to report at Harrisburg and
offer its services to Governor Curtin. Later
on the Major recruited a company in Fay
ette and Somerset counties. He served with
distinction throughout the term of his en
listment and was notad for his bravery and
soldierly bearing. Colonel Audrew Stewart,
on whose staff he served for a period, says
that he "never saw a braver soldier than
Major Tredwell."
The Major has traveled fur and wide,
has been a most careful observer, and has
returned to bis native heath a more intense
partisan than before leaving it. His new
venture gives rvary promise of being a suc
cess aud patrons of the Vedette assure us
that be is not given to "talking through h'S
bat," but rather to preaching aimon pure
Democracy. The Major's newspaper part
ner is a 'rustler" fresh from the calamity
districts of Nebraska, and if they determine
to go after the post office it will be with
both feet.
Word comes from Meyeradale that ex
Seiiator Fred GrofT has resumed his old
time occupation of "sawing wood and say
ing nothing" politically sper.king. This is
construed by some as an judication that the
fat and j olly ex Senator has an eye on the
post ofU of that booming village. When
approached on the suljsct he invariably
winks the other eye and says "ask me some
thing easy." The ex-Senator got his politi
cal training under General Colfrotb, and one
of the first principles laid down by that suc
cessful puller of wires is, "don't crow until
you are out of the woods." Mr. Grof has
gone to school long enough to know that
the fellow who prepares the best lessons isn't
always the best scholar, aad is apt enough to
have learned that the fellow with the longest
petition isn't always the one who gels the of
fice. People over that way can rest assured
that if Mr. Grof enters the fight for the post
office he will not do so until after the 4tii of
March, and mighty few of tbem will find it
out even then. The ex Senator is a famous
' persimmon knocker" and if be wants the
Meyeradale post office, and Frank Johns
agrees that he shall have it, it's do'lars to
doughnuts that he gets it
With all the talk that is being said about
the new shuffle of the cards when Cleveland
gets to be Presi dent nothing has been beard
from General Coffroth. As a rule the Gener
al isn't much given to dealing in "futures,"
bat be has the name of taking everything in
sight whet) it comes to party spoils. Like
all men prominent in politics he has fo ond
it impossible to reward all his friends and
baa created many enemies. But who ever
beard of anybody "staying mad with Aleck
Coffroth?" The General isn't built that
way. Most people find that they can't get
mad at him, no matter bow badly they want
to. It Is hardly possible that the man who
has led his party in the county for so many
years will relinquish bis bold and desert hi
friends in view of a Democratic National
victory. There ia DO doubt about the Gener
al being "on tbe outs ' with the Stale lead
ers, bat will be stay out ? We would can
lion the gentlemen who are proclaiming the
General "a dead dork in tbe pit" to tie a
string to their promisee, because they may
have to be withdrawn. Tbe General doesn't
go campaigning with a brass band, and it ia
questionable whether tbe word "fail" ap
pears Id bis political vocabulary.
Something Wrong Here.
The fact that as many If not more mem
ben of the Democratic party in this coan'y
have been called npon to perform jury duly
in our several courts the past few yean than
Republicans has occasioned a great deal of
comment Comment has not been con
fined to the borough of Somerset, be
cause as a rule tbe residents of tie
larger towns are only too glad to escape
jury duty, but whispers of discontent have
been heard from nearly every precinct in
the county and during tbe past year the
whispers have given place to a perfect roar
of dissatisfaction. A careful scrutiny of the
names of jurors drawn from the wheel will
bear out tbe trathfulnesw of what we Lave
stated. We have beard no allegation of un
fairness to suitors on this score, or that jur
ors have been influenced in rendering their
verdicts through political bias, bat it baa
struck moat observers as singular that the
names of so many Democrats should find
their way into the jury wheel in a county
where Republicans preponderate in the
same ratio as two is to three. The loudest
complaints art heard from townships where
Democrats are only to be.found with fine
tooth comb and where Republicans . are
numbered by tbe hundreds.
Ia it not apparent that political considera
tions have found their way into this, the
highest and most sacred safeguard of our
free iusUtutions 7 We know no other way to
account for the unequal and unjust repre
sentation. To illestrate what we have stat
ed we desire to call attention to the fallow
ing list of jurors placed in the wheel for the
past year. In it we give tbe cumber placed
in the wheel from each precinct and their po
litical affiliations.

Institute Lectures.
Persons all over the county are looking
forward with keenest pleasure to next week,
when tbey Lave promised to eupy tbe seas
ions of toe Annual Teachers' Institute.
Teachers' Institute has long been a source of
pleasure to hundreds of persons not employ
ed in the public schools of tbe county.
They enjoy tbe daily sessions and are bene
fitted by tbe many wise and good things
that are said by the eminent gentlemen who
appear before them for the purpose of deliv
ering instruction. Institute has been grow
ing more and more in popular favor each
year and too much credit cannot be given to
tbe able County Superintendent, who is al
ways looking for opportunities to make the
annual session more interesting and of
greater benefit to tbe teachers than the pro
ceeding session.
We desire io call special attention to the
course of evening entertainments provided
for this season.
Prof, Jobs B. DeMotte, who delivers an
illustrated lecture Monday evening, on "The
Harpcf the Senses, or the Secret of Charac
ter Building," is spokes of by a western
journal as " an all-round ' five-story' man."
He is also, said to be brilliant, instructive,
witty and pathetic, and has received the
most flattering press notices wherever he
has appeared.
Nothing more is required to be said to in
sure a crowded house Tusday evening than
that the lecturer is Rev. Russell 11. Conwell.
Patrons of tbe Institute lectures have too
pleasant a recollection of this brilliant speak
er to miss an opportunity to bear him again.
His subject will be "The Silver Ciown, or
Born to be a King."
Wednesday evening Paul B. Duchaillu,
tbe famous explorer, author and platform
speaker is tbe attraction. His lecture,
" Travels in E j'tatorial Africa," is a vivid
story cf Ducbaillu's marvelous experiences
in the heart of Africa, including bis thrill
ing adventure with the fiist gorilla ever
seen by a white man, and brightened with
vivacious touches of humor. No one
should miss this opportunity of hearing
one of the world's first explorers. We
know of persona who are coming many
miles for tht express purpose of bearing him.
The coarse will close with an entertain
ment by tbe famous Schubert Male Quar
tette, Thursday evening. Few musical or
ganizations in the la ad are more sought af
ter or have a higher reputation.
The (juartelte will be assisted by Miss
Bertha U Clark, violinist; Miss Laura B.
MacCorkle, reader acd whistler and Mias
Evelyn M. Ellis, arxompanist.
Tbe course throughout promises to prove
decidedly the best of any we have had in
many years. 'And this is saying a good bit.
