Doesn't Want to Come Home.
fcheriiT ti xd received a telegram from the
Chief of Police of Cumberland, Md., Thurs
day, notifying him that E. L. Shoemaker,
wLo recently escaped from tbe borough lock
up at Meyerstiule, had been arrested in that
city. Sheriir Good went to Cumberland the
fdiowing morning, bat Shoemaker refused
to come to Pennsylvania unless a requi
sition for his removal be procured through
the proper channels. Tbe Sheriff left at
once fr Harrisburg in order to secure requi
sition papers frona Governor Pattison, but
owing to the abscSce of Secreta-y Harrity,
he was compelled to return to Somerset
without them. While at Harrisburg he
learned that a Cumberland attorney had no
tified the State Department that he wished
to be heard in Shoemaker's behalf before
rtHjulsitlja papers were granted. It is
probable that n-i'iisition papers will be is
sued to Sheriff Good this week when he will
prced to the Maryland capital, and after
having them endorsed by ibe Governor of
tkat Siate, wiil re-v:lt Cumber's." i and ar
range for the transfer of the pr soiier to this

Shoemaker wa; arrested on information of
Samuel Mosholder. who alleges that the
prisoner is guilty of one of the m at serious
crimes known to the law, and, also, of
carry'.r-g concealed weapon. The pr-
ecutor's fif;een-year-old daughter, Deliah
Bt lle Mosholder, is the vic'im.
Tbe prisoner is reported to have a wife
ar.d family living in the neighborhood of
Meversdale.
Policeman Berkey Shocked.
The curiosity of a young man from the
country caused the streets of this place to be
in darkness after nine o'clock Sunday night.
It has frequently happened that one or more
of the street arc lights has refused to burn,
presumably on account of the imperfect
manner in which tbe carbons have been ad-
justed. Oxaaiot.aliy we have seen this cor
rected by a boy giving the cable used for
lowering and elevating the lamps a quick
je.-k. thereby throwing the carbon into po
sition. The youth from tbe country had
probably witnessed the performance refer
red to, and w bea he saw that the lamp at
the north-west coiner of th Court House
yard was not burning, he concluded to try
his hand. He gave the cable a violent jerk.
releasing it from its keeper, and the next
moment the lamp waa dangling at tha end
of the rope in the middle of the road, and
the voting man continued on bis way home.
Tbe Electric Light Company' lineman,
who has charge of the street lights, called
upon poiicemaa Berkey to assist him in re
pairing the damage. Berkey took bold of
the cable, now charged with electricity by
c jming in contact with a live wire, and in
stantly his bxly was contorted in a manner
frightful to behold. He was hurled to the
ground, his legs and arms apparently para
lyze'!, powerless to re:eae his grasp upon
the cable. The lineman caught bold of
the ro;x below where Berky wis holding
and by giving it a tuddeo pull succeeded in
throwing it free from the helpless man. Ber
key shook himself for a minute or two be
fore he r aliped that he was not in " King
dom come." He had broken the force cf
tbe electric current in the cabie and his com
panion escaped with only a slight shock.
As soon as the accident became known at
the power house the current was cut off from
all the street lamp until the damage
could be repaired. The Electric Light
Company has been put to considerable ex
pend aad inconvenience by persons tamper
ing with their poles and w.res, aad they an
nounce that hereafter they will prosecute
all persons guilty of 14 monkeying" with
li.rH.
Beetle Bags Berkey.
From the Bedford Gazette.
Oa Monday Chario B-rkey, of Faint
township, Somerset County, was arrested at
Kdson' data, near Cessna station, by Otficer
Bsegle, oa a charge of forgery preferred by
Simon Oppeaheimer. Oa January 6 Ber
key went to Seily Oppenheiroer and request
ed hi oi to cash a check for $J) drawn by - .
Marten aad made payable to Samuel Ham
mond, who be represented himself to be.
Mr. 0;penheimr examined the che-.'k, no
ticed that it was signed by " M. Marten,"
and informed the young man that Mr. Mar
tin's iiii.ial letter waa"X." whereupon Ham
mond took the check, saying he would have
it corrected. He returned oa afierward
with the M" on the check changed to X,"
but Mr. Oppenheimer aaw that the given
n-iu-e, Marten, was still misspelled and re
fused to cash the check .
Berkey then changed his base of opera
tions, aito hi name. He visited the store of
Thomas P. Beegle Co. and purchased a
pair of shoe from Henry James, the courte
ous junior member of the firm. Here Ber
key represented himself to be William
Mock. He endorsed tbe check and Mr.
James gav him a pair of three-dollar shoe
and seventeen dollar in cash, taking the bo
gus check in exchange.
Bsrkey for the third time tried to work
his little game on a Badford merchant. He
selected Simon Oppenheimer, the affable
clothing man, as bis victim, bat he caught
a Tartar, who speedily brought his nefari
ous negotiation to an abrupt end. On Sat
urday Berkey bought a pair of suspender
from Mr. Oppenheimer, and presented in
payment thereof a check for $10. Berkey
received $U.75, with the suspenders snugly
tucked awsy in his inside pockt, he left the
store. Oa the way to Bedford the prisoner,
woo seems to have a penchant for changing
names, said hi cognomen was Hos tetter,
and when be arrived at the "sq aire's office he
again became plain Mr. Berkey. Mr. James
and Mr. Oppenheimer identified the prison
er as the man who had made the purchase
for which be gave the forged checks, and
others testified that they taw Berkey in the
stores. He was committed for trial at court.

THE UHL-KNEPPER CONTEST
Will Be Fouerit Out In the Supreme
Court. An Appeal From Jud;e
Longcnecker't Decision Taken
by trie Contestant.
At the recent spring r'ection Oliver Knep
per was the Republican candidate for Jus
tice of the Peace ia Somerset borocgh and
Soloui.in Uhl was tbe Democratic candidate
The former wa declared elected by a ta?jor
ity of Use votes, and a certificate of election
was duly isnrL Shortly after the election
M. I'bl, through his sttorneys, presented a
petition to the court, asking that the certifi
cate of election issued to Mr. Knepper be
canceled and thai be, 1'bh b declared elect
ed, and that a certificate be issued to him ac
cordingly. The petitioner assigned numerous
grounds a the foundation for their prayer.
Counsel for Mr. Knepper objected to th
Court allowing tha petition to be filed, al
leging that it waa insufficient and did not
abow just grounds for instituting a contest.
Judge Longececker beard argument of
counsel oc the question, after which, in a
lengthy opinion, be sustained the po.it ion
taken by Mr. Knepper's attorneys and re
fused to allow the petition to be filed.
When the decision of Judgs Longeneck
er was given, ail apparent interest in tbe
matter ceased, as it waa tboogbl the decis
ion was final and that no further steps in
the matter would be taken.
Friday morning, greatly to tbe surprise of
Mr. Knepper and bis friends, counsel for
Mr. I hi appeared in the Prothonotary's of
fice and filed their papers, taking an appeal
from the decision of Judge Longenecker.
They have not yet filed their exceptions, so
it is not known definitely on just what
grounds they will make their coolest in th
Supreme Court.
Mr. I'bl at present holds th
oflioe of Justice of the Peace, having
been commissioned by Governor Pattison to
fill the vacancy in the office caused by tbe
death of Justice Lint, Hi friend claim
that, pending tbe contest, no certificate can
Usue lo Mr. Knepper, and that he, Uhl, will
continue to discharge the duties and enjoy
the emolument of the office until his suc
cessor is duly qualified.
Tbe Supreme court will not hear the case
till OctoQer, whea, u is possible that any of
the following decrees may be made: The
judgement of the court below may be affirm
ed ; cr, it may be reversed and a decree made
that tbe election be set aside and a new elec
tion oniered ; or, (hat th votes.cast be re
counted and the issue be determined on its
merits; or, that commission as Justice of
the Peace be issued to Solomon I'bl and tbe
com miasiom issued (if it be issued to Oliver
Knepper be canceled ; or, (if in the mean
time no commission be issued to Oliver
Knepper) that a commission be issued to
Oliver Knepper.
A New Hotel.
Undoubtedly the most valuable piece of
real estate in this county is tbe old "Glads"
Moose lot at the corner of Main and Main
Cross streets. Whea "Charley" Vannear,
of the Park Hotel, boagat it for y sev
eral years ago, there were those who said he
had been " soaked." Mr. Vannear has done
nothing to improve the property since it
came into his possession and people have
long been wondering what he is going to do
with it. Well, the Hekald is able to tell
the pub ic that Mr. Vannear propose to
erect the largest and most complete hotel in
every respect in tbe county on it. An arch
itect has already been commissioned to draw
the plans and specifications for the new
house, sod it is not impossible that the build
ing itself wiil be coder way and under roof
before the snow Hies again.
When approached upon tbe subject Mr.
Vannear said, We'l now, it is surprising
bow thing that one has kept a secret get on L
I had not intended to asy anything about
building my new house until I was ready to
let the contract for its erection. However,
now that yoa know what I am about I
might as well tell you that I propose to put
np a three-story brick hotel, of th most
modern and approved style. I am undeci
ded whether or not I shall extend it as tar
back as the Deciples' Church, bnt it will roe
a larger house in every resjiect than the one
that stood on that site a few years ago. The
new building will be constructed so as to
give me three or four first-class store rooms
on Main Cross street. Two, ssd may be all
of these, will be for rent. On the first floor
will be the office, gentlemen's reading room,
two sample rooms, dining room and kitch
en. Tbe parlors will be on tbe second floor,
and all of the rest of tbe building will be
devoted to bed chambers. We have good
hotels in Somerset now; in (act I don't be
lieve any other town of its size in tbe State
bas as food, but my Dew house when com
pleted " will be out of eight," as the boys
say. Yoa can rest assured I will spare Do
expense to make it firs'. -class in every re
ict and a credit to the town and the conn
ty." Tbe "Glade House" site is the most desira
ble for hotel purposes of any in the county.
This fact was realized whea Somerset was a
viHure of only several hundred it. habitants,
when a hotel was built oa it and was utiliz
ed for that purpose until it was destroyed
by fire in ls7i A new hotel was erected on
the same site the following summer and con
tinued in successful operation until it too
was destroyed by fire four years ago. since
which time the lot has been permitted to re
main unimproved. Mr. Vanaesr has refus
ed several tempting olTrs for the lot by per
sons who desire to erect a business bla k on
it, but be is imbued with its advantages as a
hotel site and he is fully determined that it
shall be used for that purpose. Mr. Van
near retired from the active hotel business
several months ago. when the Park Hotel
passed into the bauds of his son Lewis, but,
like the proverbial "load out of water" he is
not happy unlet buy, and hi time from
now on will be ocuapied ia maturing tbe
plans and in building his new house.
Let Them Expire.
From the John-town Ilcraii.
There is certainly a lull in the coal busi
ness just now so far as paying big prices for
lands are concerned. Everyone familiar
with tbe conditions in this and Somerset
counties wiii remember what a competition
there ha been for some time between coal
peculators to grt possession of tbe lands.
This, as ta been noted, b&s resulted in put
ting the price of the coal away np.
Some weeks ago it waa noticed that there
was a disposition among the speculators to
slow up on the competition business which
manifested itself in their refusal to take
lands at the advanced prices. Within the
past week this feeling bas become more ap
parent, as a number of options in Somerset
county were allowed to expire, even though
tbe price at which th options bad been tak
en was not excessive.
Among those well informed, however, tbe
feeling prevails that in reality the coal lands
are as much wanted as ever. The present
action of the buyers is attributed to the fact
that the price had been run np entirely too
high, going beyond the reach of those who
were ia the business. It ia believed that
when they are at what is considered a good
price every acre in the territory where oper
ation are now contemplated will be bought.

Popular Education.
University Extension is a new term not
only to this community, but also, compar
atively a new one to the country in general,
and in consequence its objects and method
are but little known. Probably tbe best
genera! description is that referred to by
Prrf. Keroert Adams, in an artiei cn tliis
subject, in the BnUv cf Etrisv of Ju'y. 'OL
The definition is one given in a paper read
by a Northumberland miner at a meting in
tbe Borih of Ent;iand, in vhkh he says:
"Any town orvii:..e which is prepared to
provide an audience, and jy liie tecewary
fees, caa secure a coarse of twelve lecture
on any subject taught in tbe University, by
a lecturer who has been educated at the Uni
versi'y and who is specially fitted for lectur
ing work. A i liibus of the course is print
ed ar.d put into the hand of students. This
syllibus is a great help to persons not accust
omed lo note taking Questions are given
on each lecture, and written answers can be
sent in by anyone irrespective of age or sex.
All the lectures, except the first, are proceed
ed by a class which lasts an baor. In this
class student and tbe lecturer talk over the
previous lecture. The written answers are
returned with such corrections as the lectur
er deems necessary. At the end cf th
course an examination is held and certifi
cates are awarded to successful candidates.
These lectures are called University Exten
sion Lectures.' They imparl so far a each
subject is treated, a University education."
While this fairly present tbe English pian
of University Extension, it has been some
what modified since the introduction of it
methods into this country ; chiefly by adapta
tions demanded by society and industrial
pursuits. In a word, without further cater
ing into history and details : as advocated
by its zealous adherents, it provides for and
bring within tbe reach of ail classes of peo
ple, and thst st a very small cost prr rapUn,
the larger benefits and the most wholesome
results of a modern University in all of iU
varied departments of science, economics,
literature, etc.
Apropos, the lecture delivered last Satur
day evening in this place gives a fair idraef
the methods of Extension in the department
of literature. It is unnecessary to spesk of
the work of the lecturer, coming as be does
under the patronage of the University cf
Pennsylvania, the product of European Uni
versities ia thought and spirit, aud as one
of the foremost leaders in popular education,
he needs no advocate. From I he necessity
of conditions, if for no other reason, the ad
vantages of higher education as extended to
the country at large by the University of
Pennsylvania, John Hopkins and other
Universities, through such men as Dr. W. C,
Robinson, of the former institution, and Dr.
Herbert B. Adams, of the latter, Prof. R. G.
Moulton, of Cambridge. Eng., aad many
others, oughl to be most koly appreciated
by this community aril M with tbe most
hearty co-operation of a!L
We are glad to state that Dr. W. C. Rob
inson, who delivered the first of the series
of lectures on tbe " Poets of the Revolution
ary Age," taking for his subject Robert
Burrs." will complete the course. The
neit lecture will be given Satardsy evening,
221, inst. on 'Byron," in the Lutheran
Church.
The cost for th course cf ill lectures ia
il uO, or a trirls over 10 cents per lecture,
thus bringing them within the reach of all
who desire to take advantage of this mod
ern method of gaining a higher education.
We trust that when Dr. Robinson has com
pleted the present course the people of Som
erset and vicinity wiil take soms other of
the admirable courses provided by tbe Uni
versity Extension Bureau.
Important to Sugar Producer.
The following correspondence between tbe
Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the
Collector's office of this district ia of import
ance lo the producers of maple sugar iu this
county who have taken out license in order
to enure the bounty provided by law.

VaHiMiTo.i, D. C, April 12, 'U3.
Gioaof W. Mill,
Collector of Internal Revenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Sia:
Tbe administration of the law in regard to
tbe bounty on Laaple sugar is very expen
sive in proportion to the amount ot bounty
paid out, and it is necessary that the expeu
se should be kept down lo the lowest prac
ticable limit.
Weighers should not be expected to visit
the premise ol sugar producers lo weigh
sugar which is left on hand at the close of
the season.
Producers should be notified to present the
sugar upon which they intend to claim
bounty to the proer weigher at some desig
nated central place and the time within
which it must be presented should be limit
ed. The services of weighers must be d.s
pensed with as sooo ss practicable.
Piease siate aooul what time the season
will end from present indications and we. lin
ers in your disinct can bedispensed with.
Respectfully yours.

Si:
In accordance with instructions contained
in the within letter you will i-lease notify
producers in your division that immediately
atier tne close of the season suzar upon
which they intend to claim bounty must t
presented to the proper weigher at adesigna-
tett central pace.
Please state when season will end and at
what time the services of weigher in your
division can be dispensed with.
Very respectfuliy,
Gijfi'.r. W. Mint.
Collector.
The above ruling by the Commissioner
will cause great inconveuience to the licens
ed sugar prodinvrs a-id will practically neu
traiize the benefit iateadei bv ajt of C in
gress granting a bounty, inmuh as it wiil
put the produce's in remote sections of the
couaty lo greater expense ia hariri; their
sugar weighed tbsa the bounty derived (in
many instances; will amount to.
Deputy -Collector Saylor has decided that
it will be practically inirssib!e forsomeof
the licensed pr-;d'icr3 ia his division lo
comply, st this late day, with the Commis
sioner' luling, and has decided to visit eat-h
producer as heretofore, and weigh the sugar
at the place of making. Mr. Siylor is very
anxious to complete his labors by M-y 1st,
and will visit producers ia hi division as
Soon as possible.
