As we remarked some time since, our
neighbor, the Varna-it, can bedejiended up
on to keep np firing after the smoke of bat
tle bas blown away. In the cose on hand,
the attack upon the integrity of the voters
of this Congressional district in the last is
sue of that delectable sheet he didn't get
bis gun loaded uatil almost two yeirs after
the battle Lai been declared o.T and his eyes
we.-e.so blinded with visions of the postotlk-e
that be couldn't "sijht" hi3 gun. Another
such explosion aai the pTstoSice will be
his, sure. Bat we would surest that hedi

promises to ran away with the Somerset
post oifice and all the other federal patron
age in the county.
Mrs. Henry Fisher, of Somerset township,
of whom mention was made in our last isue
as Laving gone to Philadelphia, for the pur
poae of undergoing a surgical o(era'.iou for
tuniur, died in the hospital attached to the
Jefferson Sled.cal College in thai city,
Thursday afternoon. The operation was
performed successfully, and ber physicians
and friends were cr.oouraged to believe that
she was on a fair road to recover, when she
suddenly had a rt lapse, quickly followed Fy
dia'.h. The body was brought to Somerset
Sunday, and was interred Monday after
noon. Mrs. Fisher was tbs eidei daughter
of Pet-r A '".man, tbe well known one-legjei
veteran, who lives just east of town, win,
with her husband, niv a veteran of the late
war, and a sister, tbe wife of Iie. Silas
Hoover, survive.
Il is bad enough hen a mau destroy s the
sanctity of another's home ani roos him of
the aTec'ior.a of his wit, and when he adds
to these injuries the further one of a s-.mnd
threshing to the woiiudei husband, it be
comes a I uhlic outrage. This otvarred in
Lincoln tffastjip last Tuesday, wiien Joht
Yowier assauitei Wililani GritUth. Itseemj
that while Giitlita wa reidir. uoar La

To av,iid further s:miv' t!, it is said, 'Jiilhtli

is repoitel thai Gr:rli.ti met Yowler last
Tuesday and that the la'ter accompmied
him to bis home. Soon after arriving at
Griffith's the men becameenjaged in a quar
rel and Griffith accused Yowler of being un
duly intimate with his wife, and in tbe
words that fallowed declared his intention
of chastising bis wife in the latter pres
ence. Yowler concluded that if there was
to be any fightiri'. done Le would take a
hand in it, and s.raigbtway attacked Grif
fith. Gritii'.b came to Somerset and made
information against Yowler for adultery,
assault and battery, etc. Yowler was ar
rested a id eatered bail for his appearance at

Dr. IS. B. Gaclt, bead of the Sanitarium
at Markleton, thia county, was a Saturday
visitor ia Somerset. In speaking to a Hf.
atu reporter in regard to the sanitary con
i:tioua of Somerset and adjoining caunties,
ie said: "Bayard Taylor u on record as
having i-aid years sgo. 'tLe mountains or
southwestern Pennsylvania are a natural
eaniiarium.' and with this observation of
bis in mind, I bave made diligent inquiry
among the medical men of this region lo
learn whether an epidemic of disease has
ever been known to exist here. I have
learned that tbis region has been singularly
exempt from epidemics and I have also
learned that it is impossible for an epidemic
to exist here for this reasoa. South western
Pennsylvania is mountainous throughout,
and yet there U no mountain. It is up a
bill, ooiy lo go down into a ravine on the
opposite side. The resident of Ihe oppoite
side of the bill K-cares bs supply of water
from an entirely different source from be
who live on this aide, and with these con
ditions it i utterly impossible for any dis
ease to become epi lea.ic." Toe doctor ex
pressed great surprise that a Sauiuriuru Lad

if for do other reason than that above gi r

Ths Houi Elections Committee
Votes Unanimously in Favor
of Scull's Right to the) Seat.
The follow ing Washington special app?r
ed ia the Pittsburgh Commercial 6nzei!s. Sat
urday : It didn't take the elections commit
tee very long thia morning to dirpose of tbe
tbim pretentions of Contestant Greevy, of
Alioona, to the eat in congress h.ld by Ed
ward SjUiL Mr. Greevy remained here all
of the present week engaged in trying to
bolster op bis flimsy case by personal ap
peals to the Democratic members of the com
mittee, and this morning he was at tbe capi
tal bright and early for a last appeal. At
11 o'clock, when Chairman O Ferrall rapped
for order, eight members of the committee
were present, one more than a quorum.
Without any delay the chairman laid the
case befort tbem and asked what dispositioa
should be made of iL
Mr. Johnron cf Indiana (Republican)
tersely remarked that only one dispositioa
could be made of it, and that was to confirm
Mr. Scull's right to the seat to which Le had
been legally e ected. "Do you make that as
a iu jtion V quried the chairman. "I do,"
teplied Mr. Johns n. There was no further
debate, and on the motion being put every
member voted in the affiniative. They
were Chairman O'Ferrail.tf Virginia, Moore,
of Texas, Cob'a, of Alabama, Ltwson, of
Georgia and Gillespie, of Pennsylvania,
(Democrats) an i Johnson of Indiana, Clark
of Wyoming and iUyburn of Pennsylvania,
( II-publicans 1. The chairman also an
nounced that Jasia II. Brown, of Indiana
(.Demx-rat), who bad been detained from
the meeting, coincided with the judgment of
the committee as shown by this vote.
Chairman O Ferrall was then instructed
to prepare the report, and the committee ad
journed. When the result was conveyed to
Contestant Greevy Le couldn't conceal his
surjirise or d.sm iv. It was so unexpected.
Had the committee divided oa tbe q test ion
or had even one Democrat voted in lavor of
him, the verdict would Dot have be.-n so
crushing. He realized that not only would
he not be male a member of congress, but
the $ii),00u back salary, and the mmoiings
wouldn't come to him.
Cougresj-man Scull naturally was gratified
with tbe resiitt, end was kept busy receiving
the congratulations of his friends, both
Democrat and Republican?.

An oid citizen of Confluence was shot, and
instantly killed, Saturday! He bad been
named William, we presume, but was gen
erally and familiarly called "Old Billy." He
was the little brown riding and driving
Loire so well and favorably known in tbat
neighborhood, owned for the last seventeen
or eighteen years by Mr. A. M. Iloss, of that
place. He was taken sick tbe Saturday
night before, and after a week's attendance
by the most skillful and successful horse
doctors of tbe town, and constant and faith
ful nursicg by "Sullie," was reltclantly
given up. The owner, to save him suffering,
then Lad him shot, and decently buried
near the new iron bridge across Laurel Hill
creek.
In the course of a conversation with
" Marsh " since, Le said, " I was very sorry
to Lave bint killed, but thought it best, as
everybody so advised. I Late r fa-i big

He was go si, with a big G, and on thing

Good Idea for the Somerset Schools.
The following from the Indiana Gateitt
shows what enterprising school directors
are doing for the children of that town : In
diana public schools bave laid tbe founda
tion of a most excellent library. For some
time past it bas been the particular desire of
a couple of tbe directors and Prof. Fisher to
place a library within the school building,
for the exclusive ase or the scholars. The
books are there now, and the scholars will
soon be using tbem. The library, so far. Las
not been an expensive one. It includes a
number of good books, but the outlay of
cash Las :iot exceeded $100. Another $!')0
will be exjiended before the winter is over,
and more will be added from time to time.
Scholars can get books by applying to the
person in charge of tbe library and after
wards to Professor Fisher, who marks the
number of book and datewbett taken borne.
The book can be kept away from tbe school
two weeks, sad can then be renewed for an
other week.
Hurrah for the Holidays !

Fell Among Thieves.
1'rora the Pittsburgh Press (Thursday.)
A iiuuday School superintendent from
Somerset county, who came down to this
city yesterday lo buy the candy for the aii
ti ua! Chri.-t mas trtat, was led astray in the
police pmtected district of the First ward
last night a-.jd is now in jail without money
and without friends.
His name is Jjhn M. Henderson, and be
is superinieiidaut of a Sunday school iu Sum
eratt county. A collection was taken up last
Sunday and tbe money, something over 3"o,
was given to Henderson wilh instructions
lo come to Pittsburg and buy the candy and
oranges for the coming treat. He arrivtd
late yesterday noon. After supper be toll in
with an oid friend of bis boyhood days, who
is now an oil driller. Tbe friend suKge-ted
that they go out to see the sights. He says
he takes tbe (Jazelte, aud that he clipped the
dive directory which appeared ia that paper
some time ago. Willi this as their guide
they started out to see tbe town. Al tbe
bearing Ibis morning be said in explanation
of bis conduct that be belonged to cburch
and bad studied for the ministry, aad be
took a lively interest in the warfare the V.
P. ministers were w aging against the bouses
of ill fame. Being in tbe city be thought
be would take the opportunity of iuvestiga
ting a little on bis own account.
Henderson says he and bis friend went to
several places mentioned ia lbs list, and tbis
being his first visit to such places be was
induced to buy some beer. Afer visiting
six or eigi'it bouses be says he remembered
nothing further till he awakened in the
Twelfth ward police station this morning.
Henderson was arrested oa Ferry street
last night about midnight. He was drank,
aad was lying in the guttei. At the station
house when he was searched, the sergeant
found a borseshoea one pocket and a stock
ing iu another. Hi watch was found down
his boot leg. When be was confronted
with the stocking and horseshoe tbis morn
ing he aUnott fainted. He said be could not
tell where be got them. Tbe he explained
that be was a .respectable man, bad a wife
and two children, and asked tbe magistrate
to excuse him.
The magistrate said Le would discbarge
him for il and costs. But Henderson did
not bave a cent, and in default of the pay
ment of the Coe be was committed to jail for
five days. In addition to the Sunday school
money, be bad about $L5 of his own. lie
bad the money in his inside pocket when
Le t tar led out, but it was all gone when be
was arrested.
Similar accounts of Superintendent Hen
derson's little escapade were published in
other Pittsburgh papers and were telegraph
ed to Philadelphia and New York papers.
Bat who is Ueuderson and what section of
the county does bs hail from? We have
made diiiigeat inquiry for the Superintend
ent aid so fur Lave failed to leara thai he is
a raeident of tbis county. Ws are inclined
to think tbat Mr. Henderson gave the
wrong address to the Pittsburgh authorities.
KILLED BY THE PAY TRAIN.
A Well known Lady of Conemmgh
Township Struck bylan Engine.
About 4 o'clock Wedneedey sPernonn
Mrs. Henry Wolfor.l, sued fifty years, of Da
viJsville, was strork by the B. A O. iy
train at Bethel nation, cn tbe S. A C. R. IL
She and Mrs. Hiram Boyta. whose borne is
also at Davidsviile, intended to board tbe
passenger train lor Hooversville. The pay
train, engineered by Moses Kepbart, left
Johnstown at 3:10 o'clock, twenty minutes
before the time of the regular trsin. It a
rived at Bethel, as above stated, about 4
o'clock', and the two women, seeing it ap
proach, started across the track to be on tbe
side of the station platform. Mrs. Boy ts got
across in safety, but as Mrs. Wolford step
ped on the track the engine struck ber and
knocked ber several yards to one side. She
was instantly killed, ber Deck being broken.
Tbe train was stopped as soon as possible
and tbe trainmen went back to the scene of
the accident to ascertain the extent of the
lady's icj uries.
They found their worst fears realized and
were very much ejected by the terrible oc
currence, although the engineer averred tbat
Mrs. Wolford had stepped on the track such
a short distance ahead of his train that be
had not time to give aa alarm. They as
sisted in temporarily caring for the remains,
which were shortly afterward taken' to tbe
home of deceased.
She was the wife of Henry Wolford, fore
man of tbe Wearer brickyard at lngleeide,
and was the mother of seven children, tbe
names of whom are Manila, wife of Jury
Commissioner Biough, of Johnstown ; Irene,
wife of Charles Boyta, of Friedeus ; Rebec
ca, wife of Frederick Von Alt, of Johns
town ; Dorsey, Newton, Reilly and Horatio,
who are at Lome.
Mrs. Wol ford's maiden name was Char
lotte Border. Her brothers are Fred Border,
the well known commission merchant, of
Baltimore; Daniel Border, of Bethel ; John,
of Portage, and Joseph, of Osceola, Clear
field county. She bad also a stepbrother
Edward Border of Davidsviile.

Court Proceedings.
It is a deplorable state of affairs, indeed,
when the sessions of our comity court must
be taken up with the trial of cases of such a
base character as several of those which oc
cupied the time of the Court last week. Tbe
testimony adduced was of the most shock
ing nature and was so revolting tbat the
judges on the bench, jurors in tbe box and
council at the tables were compelled to hang
their heads for very shame's sake, while
many of the spectators, who atteuded the
sessions of the court through idle curiosity,
found the evidence so nauseating tbat tbey
left tbe court room in disgust.
In the case of the Commonwealth vs.
Lewis Pifer, charged wilh assault, on the
oaib of Daniel Showman, the jury returned
a verdict of "cot guiity," but saddled tbe

WATER I
An Open Letter from Council
men Ojle, Davis and Plael.
A PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS.
To the Citizens of t?,f Porouyh of S.-maMt:
We did not intend publishing our views
upon the water question at this t me, but
the anonymous, utfamatory and libelous ar
ticle published by Mr. Lambert in bis &
met Stjiflirl on the Pith inL, written ei
ther in ignorance of the facts, or with a de
liberate intention to misrepresent them, and
to blacken ibe reputation of three of the
borough's councilmen, makes it necessary
tbat we do lunger maintain silence, bat that
we at once Inform you - f the true status of
the perplexing question.
In December, the borough, at a spe
cial election, authorized the council to issue
bonds for $25,300 with which to build wa
ter works. Engineers were placed upon ths
ground and all the springs and streams
around tbe town examined Kimberly run
being finally settled upon as the best source
of water supply.
The modified estimateof cost made by en
gineer C. W. Knight for furnishing Kimber
ly run water by gravity is $27,7o7.(M, his
first estimate being much larger.
The estimate of engineer James P. Herdic
is for gravity $i.",l!M and for pumping the
water to Tayman'a hill $25,0X1. One of
these estimates includes a partially wooden
dam which the engineer says will bave to be
renewed at the end of lo years ; in other
words, he thinks it will last tbat long. The
plans and specifications fir both the gravity
and tbe pumping systems have been prepar
ed, and council is ready to advertise for bids
from coiitrao'orj.
Since tbe election of last December was
held aa olfer has been made by John K.
White, builder of the water works at Hvi.d
man. Pa, to put in water works for Somer
set fur the franchise aud $12u0 per year for a
period of 15 years.
We have never proposed to give htm this
sum, and never proposed to give bioi the
franchise at ail, except by your permission,
to be expressed through the ballot box at a
special election to be called for tbat purpose.
But owing to the revolutionary tactics used
by the president of the council, (ignorant ol
parliamentary law and tbe duties and power
of bis office) in refusing to entertrtia or sub
mit to vote of council a resolution endorsed
by a majority of the voting members of
council, submitting the question to a popu
lar vote, yon bave been denied the privi
lege, which should be yours, to say whether
or not the franchise should be granted to a
water company.
In view of the foregoing it must be appar
ent to the dullest that the writer of the
Standard article in charging us with a or-
rupt attempt to steal the water franchise was
ignorant of the facts.
Ia view of the fact that all the water that
is brought into the town must also have
some means of getting ont aain, and tbat
the use of tbe water must be very limited
and unsatisfactory without sewsrs, we have
been resisting the expenditure cf all the bor
ough's means for water works a'or.e. Com
plaint is constantly made to the council
about dirty gutters and ful closets, and ia
order to get rid of these evils, disease aud
defcth-Lreeding influences, our effort is to
get with the water a complete system of san
itary sewerage, whereby the water from
bath rooms, water closets, wash rooms nd
kitchens, can all be carried out of tbe town.
How ia tbis to be accomplished ? It can only
be accomplished by a judicious, honest and
conservative management of our resource.
If we exhaust these by spending our limit
for wat.'r alone, we are at the end f tbe
string. Our plan, therefore, has been to ad
vertise for bids, and then refer these to the
vote of tbe people so that they may, with
al! the facts before tbem, vote intelligent y
upon the question.
Oa Saturday, the 10. h day of December,
inst., Messrs. Granger, Davis and Ogle, in
the hitler's office agreed to this plan, and
ater in Ihe evening it was so announced at
a full meeting of the council held in the
office of J. A. Betkey, Esq., and by common
consent the proposition was to be submitted
in writing aud ratified at the next ra .tiling
of council, which was set for Friday even
ing, December Pith, inst. Cjuncil met oa
Friday evening agreeably to said arrange
ment, and the following resolution, read by
Mr. Ogle, was informally though fervently.
and with as much beat as might be expected
ia a fire meeting, d:scussed by all present, to
it :
Wiiebeas, Honest dltTerences of opinion
exist sruong memrxrs of council as to the
best method of procuring water for use of ihe
borough, ami
Vt iikbkas, it is desired to compromise
these dttferences by referring the question to
a vo'c cf the citizens of the borough, and
Wuckkas, In order lo do so it is desirable
to know what suiu contractor are witting
to take to put the water in, in accordance
witu the present pians and apec:ti'l:oiis in
fMfessioii of council.' ; and aiso how much
nv corporation, aswia'ion or individual
granted a waur franchise for a period of 15
yrara will charge tlie Imro urrj pt-r year fur
full lire proieciKKi. at the expiration ot
which term of lo years the r.rj'ih shall
bave the option of acquiring said wa'er
works upon the paymfn: or securing to said
corporation, association or individual the
actual ci! of construction thereof, fie it
i:o.j'ml. That the bu-ges bed reeled to
advertise for sealed bids in accordance with
the above, all bid to be li ini d in by li
o'clock p. m , Friday, the li'.tu day of Janua
ry, l.sHj, the right to reject any or all bids
heicg reserved to the bontugh. " And upon
tbe ascertain men t of s-iid bids that a spe
c's! e'ec'iou be held on Sa'.urd iv. the 2th
day of January, I VJ.5, wher at the ieiral vo
ters may approve or reject the provisions
of tne acts of assembly H April lo. P. L.
55. S May, IS70. P. L 147, by voting for a
water tax or aaimt a water tax."
Notwithstanding ths previous informal
agreement to this srrangemeit it was op
posed by Me.-rs. Granger, Jones and Sanner,
wbercap.n we con.-lu led to pos'pone fur
ther action u;n the resolution ctitil next
meeting, hoping that these gentlemen might
in the meantime consult with t'mir advisers
and satisfy therus3lv.es upon the reasonable
ness and fairness of submit: ing this question
to a vote of the people.
It is not known definitely, and cannot b
until bids are had. what the a tual cost of
putting in water will be. Neither ia il ded
nitely known what a c ompmy w.ll take to
put it in for a grant of the franchise, a id
cannot be until bid) are had. If, however,
we can get some individual, company or cor
poration to put the water iu say for as muoj
as we are informed Meyersdai3 pays H)
per year for fire protection, or say as much
as we pay the Electric Light Company (here
tofore champi.med by the Stand-trJ) $72) per
year, we would in our opinioa bs saving
money as a borough by g-anting such a par
ty tbe franchise, aad thus avoid the crea
tion of a boa led indebtedness for ths bor
ough to pay, for a doubtful water plant.
Our ordinary tax duplicate which we issue
yearly, aggregates about $1900
Receipts from scale, about 4no
'iues and iaeeUMS, s-Ito v
Total
Out of this say we pay :
For LIlits..
Fur water-..
..STAI
11110
(141
Balance..
This will leave us balance of over $1,000
for strees and ordinary expenses, an ample
sum if properly handled. By this means
we could bave our light and water without
a single dollar of debt. W would then be
in good shape to build our sewers, for which
we might bave to contract a debt of, perhaps.
$10,5uO, depending upon what we could get
the work done for. So, if we can bave a pru
dent management of our borough finances,
instead of having a poorly managed water
plant only, with a big d.-bt to pay besides,
we would bave light, water and sewerage,
sndjiikely, for its size, the best town in the
Stale, for health and cleanliness.
Tbe money thus paid for water would be
more than saved in the saving on irsurance.
Mr. Lame M. Hicks informs as that a re
daction of 10 per cent on regular rharges is
male in towns having fire protection by the
companies he represents. Tbat the annual
premiums paid in Somerset toroub for fire
insurance, be thinks, will aggregate ten or
twelve thousand dollrrs. Tea percent of
this inm would be Un hundred or twelve
hundred dollars.
As a specimen of the DiiinianagrmeGt of
tbep'ant likely to follow the bonding of the
town for ws'.er works, we need only eite the
history of the long continued mismanage
ment of our borough finances. What have
we to show for tLe more than $2,J spent
annnal'y for years past by our ever chang
ing couitc il ? Witbcut water, heretofore w ilh
out elecirii light, with poor at reels and
pavements, dirty gutters, do sewerage and a
prosecution now pending in court against
tbe burgess lur maintaining a nuisance, what,
we atk, baa bccoo.e of the public money ?
When we came into tbe coucril we found
an ercpty treasury. The council cf last year
bad spent their whole revenue aad had a!s
taken ths license fees belonging to Ihis year's
revenue. One tax collector, behind on bis
duplicate, had been dropptd from the bor
ough statement and he aad his bondsmen
thus excused from raying over the borongh
money now In hi possession.
We at once called a bait on tliis extrava
gance, and, although we bad lo pay out mon
ey to satisfy a number oi order issued by
last year's council, and, also, paid one of the
bonds issued by a former council, our treas
urer, J. A. Berkey, Esi , handed over to bis
successor, D. J. Ileruer, Ibe first of the
present month, $7S7 SI.
We also found that tbe old council bad,
without referring the question to a vote of
the citizens, granted tbe electric light fran
chise to a private company. Strang-, isn't
it, that the gentlemen who are now suffer
ing such agonies over the proposition to let
the people vote whether or not the water
franchise shall be granted to a ct-mjry,
were so silent when the Standard was urg
ing the old council to grant the electric light
franchise to its editor father in law, and
other genLlemen? Where did Ibe steal come
in in that hasty action of council ?
But onr article is growing too lengtby,
and we must address ourselvves to the anon
ymous writer of the SmulnrJ. Except as to
the statement as to cost of water in E bens
burg, abont which we know nothing, but
which statement we doubt, we caa only say
tbe article is a tissue of falsehood from be
ginning to end. As an illustration, he says :
" Meyersdale company, wilh a plant of
$U.uo0, bas been fleecing the people out of
from IS to 2 per centum on tbe investment
ever since its inception." Wc are informed
' y Harvey M. Berkley, Esq.., who is a mem
ber of thai company, that their plant stands
them $18,75, and they Lave never paid but
0 per cent.
We are reliably infimel that the water
works of Bedford Lave cost them more than
$P),ij'); I hat tbey have an insufficient sup
ply, that the management by the borough is
unsatisfactory, and tbe borough has been in
debt for the same for the past 15 or 2 years.
Il is easy lor aa anonymous writer to
taunt bis neighbors with such epithet as
Judas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold, traitors to
the people's trust, corruptionists, water
snakes, and the like, and thus try to blacken
their reputations and destroy their useful
ness! Reputations for honesty and decency
are not made in a day and a generous pub
lic are not going to give credence to the un
supported and irresponsible utterances of a
blackguard, who lies like a si.ake in the
grais, concealed beneath his n.ui de plume.
Consi ious of our inuoemee of the foul
charges made against us iu the 6'.'osi ici,
and of the rectitude of our purposes, we
propose to stand in council as n have here
tofore, for an economic government for the
borough, and for the protection of the rights
of the whole paople.
