floor.
Mrs. Rloagh lifted his Leal from the

Tbe pan tbre or lour days have been ex
cellent for the flow of ma; ie sap and as a
consejuence there has been much activity in
the hundreds of sugar camps in this county.
Tbe out put this jea.r promises to be unusu

who has already manufactured more sugar
than last season. From all accounts some
farmers are guilty of manufacturing last sea
son's sajar into" spotza'' and selling it for
this year's product.
Col. Samuel Elder, formerly a citizen and
still remembered by many of tbe older citi

staunch Republican since tbe formation of
the party and enjoyed a personal acquaint

voted last full. Xot many men now living
have voted for sevent.va Presidents, a record
of which Cj!. r-.Jr te -is jat.y proaa.

The store of J. J. U-.bii'.xel! A Sons, Key
stone Junction, was barglar.zed Monday
night. A large quantity of good' car
ried away. The office of the Savi.- Fire
Brick Company is located in ti same
building and contains a large safe. Aa ia
eJectual effort was made by the burglars to
get into the safe. They drilled it and tried
to blow tbe door open with explosives, but
only succeeded ia destroying the combina
tion lock so that it could not be opened by
tbe gentleman using it when he came to Lis
office Tuesday morning. An expert front
Pittsburgh had to he sent for before tbe safe
could be opened.
Mr. Rosa E. Pritf, aged twentv-six years,
died at Meyersdale a! aa early hour Sunday
morning, from typhoid fever. Tbe body
was brought to Somerset Monday, and was
interred at 1 o'clock Tutday, ia the Luth
eran cemerry. Tbe decr-ased leaves a wife
to wham he had bu-a married only a few
months, a daughter of George M. Saylor, of
this place. Mr. Prills was a eon of Peter
Pritis, whose sudden death from heart dis
ease, was recorded in last wevk'a KnasLa,
and was a brother of E. E. Pritts, principal
of the Somerset borough schools. He bad
been a resident of Somerset tor several years
prior to his removal to Meyersdale and was
very popular.
At one of the sessions of Court Ia;t week
A.C. Iioibfrt, Esq., presented a petition to
the Court praying that tbe certificate of elec-
tic.u issued to O.iver Kuepper, as Justice of
the Peace for five years, be canceled and ttiat
Solomon Unl be declare! elected Justice of
tbe Peace and that a certificate be issued to
him accordingly. The reading of the peti
tion caurcl more or less of a sensation ia the
court rcorj and whea its conteats became
known oa tbe streets furnished fool for
conversation and conjecture that has not yet
beea dissip&ted.
The petition, which is signed by twenty
eight electcrs of tbe borough ot ot'urrset,
s-13 ibrth that tbe election held on tl
1 1th Jay cf February was not held ia strict
co ifonuity with tbe Baker Ballot law, that
the polls Were opened fo'ty minutes after
tb hour set for opening them, that persons
wore allowed to remain in the election room
ia violation of law, that noise and disturb
ance was permitted ia the electiea room,
that two watchers representing one political
parly were permitted to be present, that can
didates were allowed to solicit votes in the
election room, that the polls were closed be
fore tbe Lour fixed by law, that non-residents
of tbe election district were permitted
to vole, that tickets imperfectly marked were
counted, that the borough auditors ia viola
tion of law refused to place the "citizens tick
et" on the o:U ;ial ballot and that on account
of this omission voters were misled, and were
compelled by abuse and vilification to vote a
part: z in ticket, and farther alleges that sev
enteta electors (naming them) and some
twenty others voted invalid and illegal bal
lots for Oliver Knepper for Justice of the
Peace.
The petition was ordered filed by the Court
and Saturday evening it was taken up for dis
posal. F.J. Kooser, E-q., appeared for Mr.
Knepper. He argued that tbe petition was
insufficient in larts and that where direct
and su:5;"ieat allegations were made tbey
must have been made ignorantiy, since it is
utterly impossible that the petitioners could
know positively the matter set forth.
Mr. Holbert answered at considerable
length, but carefully guarded any evidence
that may rejein him, since at the conclu
sion of his remarks tbe other side knew no
more in regard to the case than they ill J be
fore. Mr. Holbert significantly let fall that
he was prepared to substantiate the charges
made when tbe proper time comes.
His honor, Judge Longenecker, listened
attentively to tbe arguments, and when Mr.
Hoitert had about bail-finished got up,
turned his chair around once for luck, and
then resumed his seat. His honor took the
petition to chambers with him. He will
make a ruling wilhia thirty day when tbe
public w ill learn w hether a commissioner is
to be appointed to take testimony or wheth
er tbe contest Will ''die a boraiu'."
It will be remembered that Mr. Knepptr
had a msjority of fi-e votes over Solomon
UbI for the cilice of Justice of the Peace at
the bate election. This is cot a very larire
margin and it is due to that fact probably
that Mr. Ubl has decided to try and deprive
him of kssuniira, the duties of the office to
which he was elected.
There is no allegation, or could there be
f.r that matter, of fraudulent voting, and
tbe only peg on which Mr. Uhl has to hang
his case appears to be that bis attorueys will
endeavor to mai-e out that tbe election was
illegal and conse juently void.
As the Hebald views it there is not the
remotest possibility of Mr. Ubl niaiicg a
sndtssftil contest and of the election being
declared vo: 1. Bat it tl ssoum: nat a
howl would ascend. By virtue of his ap
pointment by the Governor, Uhl would con
tinue to dispense justice until his successor
is elected and commissioned ; three mem
brrs of town council would be elected by tbe
members of tbe beard who hold over from
last year; the same would ba the case with
the two members f tbe school boar J ; tbe
Cocrt would appoint a constable until one
could be elected and qualified ; voters would
elect election officers on the morning of the
November election, and minor officials
would be appointed by the Court and town
council.
A Famous B rids a on the Croat Na
tional Road.
One of the finest and most costly stone
structures in Western Penasylrania is tbt
large three arched bridge that spaas the
Youghiogbeny river at SomerSeld on the
National pike leading from Cumberland to
Wheeling. It was built, according to an in
scription on one of the arches, by Kickead,
Beck and Evans, and completed July 4, ISIS.
Tbey contracted with the Government of
the United States to build it for $4o,0OJ, but
tbe price fa'iin so far below the actual cost
tbey we.-c afterwards given 120,'J") extra.
Even t'-;" f) was not equal to its actual
cost, which resulted in the utter bankrupt
cy of the contracting firm.
1's three large arches, as well as its other
parts, were so scieutificaliy and substantial
ly constructed that for seventy-four years it
has stood the constant and heavy traffic
over it, without costing A hundred dollars
by way of repairs. Civil engineers of to-day
say it is one of the finest and most perfect
etruclures of the kind in its architectural
and mechanical construction to be found in
the state : and doubt whether it conld be
equalled even with all our modern facilities
for baUding for t7o,0H0.
As some parts ol tbe long parapet walls
are now giving wsy. Deeding immediate re
pairs, we are glad to know that Governor
Patti3on,ja his late annus! message, has
called legislative attention to the matter. He
says, " The Superintendent of the Cumber
land Road within tbe limits of Fayette
county reports improvement in its condi
tion. He notes the necessify for repairs to
the great stone bridge over tbe Yongbiogbe
ny at Somerfield, which structure begins to
show signs of decay. It should be preserved
at least as a monument of tbe notable past
hl-tory of this famous thoroughfare. He
estimates tbe cost of needed repairs at $1,500,
and asks for Legislative appropriation for
such puriose to that amount. I commend
the subject to your attention."
That great, by far tbe greatest thoroogh
re for many years, the National pike, be
tween the Eaet and West, was constructed
by tbe Government largely due to tbe ear
nest advocacy of Henry Clay, and a few oth
er leading western Congressmen. For many
vears it was under the immediate control of
the Government, and kept in first clsss or
der by revenue collected as tolls. Ttie toll
houses were built of stone, and being of an
octagon form, were exceedingly picturesque
in appearance. They were located about
fifteen miles apart, and we believe but one of
them is now standing the one oa tha bill
at tbe east end of Addison.
Someyears back tbe road was transferred
by the Government to Maryland, Pennsyl
vania and West Virginia, through which it
pa5, cn certain conditions, one of which,
we think, was that each slate was to keep it
in pood repair.
Trie special attention of our representa
tives at Hsrrisburg should be g'ven to the
wise and timely recommendation of the Gov
ernor. We say timely, for if not repaired
by the state tbe whole burden will likely be
thrown upon Somerset and Fayette coun
ties at no very distant day. In this as in
many other instances tbe part of wisdom is
to take time by the forelock.
Late Styles in Fashionable Goods.
John Stenger's store, Main street, Johns
town, Pa., is now the recognized headquar
ters ior all that is late, new, plain, stvlish
and gorgeous in cot only Dresa Goods, but
in Ladies' Misses and Children's Jackets and
Capes. His lines in all goods of the kind are
so large, styles so varied, and prices so low
that customers of all tastes and wishes can
not fail to find what tbey want and at prices
fitting their purses by giving him a call. His
long experience and phenomenal success in
handling all first class merchandise consti
tute a positive guarantee to all purchasers,
that in buying cf him tbey always get the
best goods at bottom prices. His spring
stock is one of the largest, best and finest
ever opened in Johnstown.
Can we not Improve our Present
Facilities for Travel In Parts of
t Somerset County ?.
Mr. Edit r: Will you please grant me
LUIe space in your paper 7 esterday a. m
we started lor one of our appointments, by
oar usual route, went a short distance.
found tbe fences closed up and the mads
well filled with snow drifts through which
no one had ventured. We turned back,
took an ether route, drove about three miles
through roa Is. w oods and fields some times
almost impossible to ret through ; then wi
Pound that route blocked against us. Again
we turned back, went about a mile to find
tbe third route closed op. By thai time it
was too late to make our appointment by
any other route so we returned come after
having spent nearly ail forenoon in fruitless
effoitx to reach our appointment ; and this
morning our horse is lame from floundering
in the snow-drifts.
The present condition of things makes
travel not only difficult but, in some places.
even dangerous. We naturally ask, how
can, or ought this to be remedied? Surely
no one who has tbe remotest idea of the
damage done a Geld sown to wheat, or newly
seeded with grass, or even any field of moist
and mellow ground, will for one moment
blame the farmer for closing his fences at
this season of the year. Could then any
one expect each farmer to open the roads
leading through his farm? By no means
for we all know that it wool l be imposing
burdens out of all proportion on some of
our fellows. And yet, oar present "road
system," or rather, our present wtmt of ryttem,
leaves the individual farmers either to suffer
the damage done by using their fields for
public travel, or demands tbat they shall
open the roads for the public benefit ; or the
unsuspecting traveler is hindered in bis
journey, or wrecked in tlie treacherous
drifts.
Now we do not believe that the people of
Somerset county either sanction, or want
any such injustice or wrong: It is simply
for want of having their attention called to
it tbat such condition of things arise. And
tbe object of this article is simply to call
their attention to the fact tbat some things
in our present road system ought to bechang
ed ere next winter, and we believe tbey will
gladly do il.

By pluck, grit, energy and popular prices
Thomas & Karr, 2"1 and 253 Slain Street,

READERS OF THE HERALD
Cannot fail to appreciate the efforts of any firm who sells
goods for less money than yoa could buy the same a year
ago when the saving to the buyer is the result of the en
terprise of the dealer.
This will be better understood when you learn that
yoa can buy as good a Chamber Suit for $16.00 now a3
yoa could get a year ago for 1:20.00.
Theso suites are without equal ia tlie market, nothing
like theni has ever been offered before at the price.
And this too with the fact that we deliver to your
nearest freight station.
When you see the suit you will concede that the offer
is better than yoa expected.
