At intervals of sir weeks for the past year
the Pittsburgh papers have published "fake''
stories, written at Coanellsville. Cu.'icernine
the reapiKjarance of ni'irdurer Bill Prills

country. The stories go on to describe how
Prills' friends in the mountains have ra'iied
to his support, armed with squirrel riiles.
and will reiist to the bitter end the approach
of officers of the law. la fact thry predict a
set battle and much b'.ood shed in cise an
attempt is made to capture the niiy old
moonshiner. These stories are ail bosh.
The truth is that every time Sheriff Good
has re.x-i.ed intelligence regarded as reliable
concerning Pritts' movements he has made
an edjrt to capture hira and he has always
had the support of the people of that neigh
hood, w ho are just as anxious to hand
Prittsov-rtojj-t.ee as the .tlicjrj are.
A gentleman from that section of thecoun-

We are frequently asked the question and
have been written to by a number of the
members of the Ilepublicau County Commit
ter us to whether a peison who voted the
Democratic ticket at the last g.-neral elec
tion, but wno will promise to vote the tick
et nominated at the F.epublican primary, is
a qualified voter at said primary ? For the
benefit of our correspondents and ethers,
we quote the following from the rules gov
erning primary electiousof Somerset Coan-
tv :
Rt -i.e 11. It shall be the duty of the
Election Board to organize as directed in
Kule si. and shall keep the poilsopen till sev
en O dock 1 . .!. J tiev shall hold and con
duct toe election with fairness and honesty,
lieriiiilting all Republicans to vole wno Vol-
ed the Republican ticket at the last preced
ing (leueral election and claiming to be Re
publicans, and llepuulirans who were pre
vented from voting by reason of absence
from home or sickness, or who have arrived
at the age of twenty one years since the last
election, or minors who are knoivu to be Be-
I publicans and wiil be of age before the next
general election. Depriving no one whom
they know to be a lt--p'io!ican of the privi
lege of voting, but allowing none whom
they know or have reason to believe are not
Republicans, to vole.
' .
From the above it w ill be seen that the
vital qats'ion is, did U'te i-tter t itethe Uejtub
lioiHtirietat the InM general election. If he
did not, he cannot vole at the Republican
primary, except as provided for in the above
quoted rule, Tue members of the county
committee cannot be too careful or cautious
in this matter. Every Republican who is
qualified to vote must be freely accorded the
privilege, but the rules man not be violated
by allowing members of other parties to
vote, even if they do cfTerlo swear to support
the ticket nominated.
Bet s een the hours of ten and eleven
o'clock Monday night the barn attached to
August Koeh'er's hotel, at Davidsville, and
-veral bu'ldinns adjoining, were burned to
tie ground. During the piogrms of the fir
a man w as seen escaping from the rear of the
burning barn. He was quickly iur
r landed by the crowd of people who had
meanwhile collected to fight the flames, and
w hen someone claimed that he bad seen the
man setting fire to the barn, and that he after
wards stole a coat from a house close by , the
cry of ""burn him, throw him in the fire '."
was raised. For a few minutes it looked as
ttough the man would be thrown into
the seething flames but wiser council pre
vailed and it was decided to place him under
arrest. An infi.rmatioa charging incendia
rism was accordingly entered before Ejuire
Kore Kaufman, of Benson. The prisoner gave
Lis nameaa Charles Hurle, and said that he
Lad cowe from Hillside, Westmoreland
county, where hi' Lad bven explored on the
new railroad being built at that place. He
claimed thai he was looking for work on the
new railroad being built up Shade creek.
At D.iviJsvil'.e he says he fell in with sever
al parlies and got lo drinking. Early in the
evening some one attached to the hotel,
escorted him to the barn with a lantern and
showed him where he could lay down and
sleep. Hurle says he does nut know
Low long he slep.t but that he was
suddenly aroused by a man who cried out
" my God! must we bum up." He says that
he made several attemps to get out of the
liarn before he discovered a bole in the rear
waU when he leaped through it falling to
the gro&Qj Urn feet below. As soon as
he recovered himself he raised the alarm
of fire, and claims that La rave the
first alarm. Tuexliy morning the pris
oner was brought to Somerset by the Con
stable of Benson borough and handed over
to the Sherilf. In an interview in the coun
ty jail be toid subrtantially the same story
that he told before the Justice.
The prisoner is a raw-bone Irishman

pipe aud Stivers! plu,-s of tobacco in his
pocket when searched.
Mr. Koehler's loss U estimated at 41. n.
and the loss to the other parties whose build

dollars.

' Your Uncle Aleck" didn't wear a est
Monday.
Perhaps the intense heat had something
to do wilh his casting oil this time-honored
garment, but we incline to the opinion that
he "pulled down his vest" in order to per
mit the' feeling of victory to perculate
throughout his entire rotundity. It was ev
ident from the beat i tic expression of hi
countenance when he assumed the Chair in
the Democratic County Convention that ev
ery vein in Lis ample corporation, from the
crown of his head to the soles of his feet, was
tingling with sensations of satisfaction. He
delivered a speech, fulsome in praite of both
the National and Slate admiuistralions, and
was cheered to the echo by his enthusiastic
and unterrilied hearers. He paid his re
spects to the minority faction of his party in
no uncertain way, and if they were able to
extract any evidence of " sweet winged
peace" from his remarks their perceptive
powers were keener than the reporter's.
The truth of the matter is that General
Coffroth never had a convention in more
perfect control than Monday's.' The ma
chinery was wrll oiled aud run without a
creak. He treated the opposition with great
magnanimity but firmly, and once again
demonstrated his ability to lead his party in
the face of the most hitler opposition within
the ranks.
The opposition put up the best fight of
their lives and they were backed up by the
powerful hidueuee of State politicians who
seeked to wrench control of the party ma- I
chinery from the old aud time-honored lead
er.
Look at it as you may no other construction
can be placed upon the result of the conven
tion than that of a personal tribute to
General CofTroth's prowess as a leader.
The federal appointments made in this
county up to this time have not indicated
that General Coffroth was in touch with the
National administration, and this was a
most powerful lever, utilized to its full ca
pacity, in order to encompass his dethrone
ment as leader. The General's influence
with the powers that be is a matter of con
jecture, but the evidence has been furnished
that the Democracy of the county are will
ing to follow his banner, even though he be
shorn of atl party spoils.
The opposition was courageous to a
fault and would not give an inch. In fact
they would not do the graceful act of mak
ing General Coflroth's election as Chairman
of the convention unanimous, notwith
standing his majority was more than twolo
one. They bravely planted their banner
and by h ihey stood until the convention
was declared adjourned ; not once intimat
ing that tbey could be pacified or were will
ing to capitulate.
The victory ami endorsement of Chairman
John was no less marked than was that of
Genera! CoiFroth. John bad been assailed
publicly and privately for his lukewarmuess
and infidelity to the Democratic cause. He
was accused of incapacity and with having
diminished the par y vote in the county by
his bungling methods. The weapons of his
accusers fell at their feet and Mr. John was
re-elected Chairman by a vote of 50 lo -t.
Kverjlhing was present in ihe convention
but harmony. The victors were magnani
mous, but not forgiving. The opjosiuon
were iii-uatured and revengefuL
TUX rKIMARY.
The Democrats of the county have had
several vigorous campaigns of receut years,
but Saturday's primary must occupy the po
sition of being the most viciously and hotly
contested in the history of that party. If the
conduct of the enemy in this borough can
b taken as an index of what occurred at
the thirty-nine other votinr, places in the
county, the day was marked with more
quarreling, back -biting and wrangling than
any previous primary. Both factions had
been actively engaged for weeks in canvass
ing the county. Both claimed to have the
bestowal of the federal patronage in their
hands, and the one claimed that a change of
leadership was necessary in order that the
Democracy of the county might assume the
proud position to which she is entitled
among the other counties of the Common
wealth. On the eve of the election both
sides were confident of victory and
both went into battle in the morn-
ing determined to make a winning fight.
Democrat who have not taken any interest
in politics outside ol voting lor years were
early abroad with "a chip cn their shoulder,
readv to pick a quarrel with their nearest
neighbors and closest personal friends in
case they did not agree wilh them as to who
should be Chairman of the County Commit
tea. The day was marked with frequent
quarrels, but no blood was shed. Early in
the evening the anti-Co'Jroth-Harrity Demo
crats discovered that the battle was lost and
that the atmosphere of th-.-ir homes was
more pleasant than that of the stnets, where
the victors were celebrating their victory.
Till 00NVEXTI0JI.
The convention met in the court room at
two o'clock Monday afternoon. Chairman
John called the body to order and read the
credentials of the delegates. Kxoepting the
borough of ew Cenireville, every one of
the fourty precincts in the county was rep
resented. A motion prevailed admitting
two representatives from that precinct and
the convention had a full representation, a
hitherto unheard of thing la the history of
local Democratic politics.
Gen. A. H. Coffroth and George Grof, of
Confluence, were placed ia nomination for
permanent chairman of the Convention.
The Grof men insisted upon an open vote be
ing taken, but the Chairman .held that the
custom and usages of the party ia this
county called fora secret ballot, and it was
accordingly held. The ballot resulted in 5:1
votes for CofTroth and 2o for Grof. During
the progress of the vote a question was rais
ed regarding the right of the gentlemen
from New Centreville having a right to vote.
Chairman John refused to entertain a mo
tion, holding that the question had been de
cided when the delegates were admitted.
This rating brought on what promised t j be
an ugly discussion, but it was quickly cut
off by the prompt business methods of the
Chairman. An effoit was then made to have
e opposition bolt the convention, but
wiser counsel prevailed and only oue or two
delegates led their seats.
Dr. Riiter, of Meyersdale, and Abraham
Vilson, of Stonycreek, were elected Vice
Presidents of the Convention, Geo. Grof, of
Confluence, having refuted to be voted for.
The temporary Secretaries. J. M.Oats, wao
wai knocked out for the Meyersdale post
ofGce, Charles F. L'hl, Jr., and E. 0. Kooser,
Ksq-, of Somerset, were continued.
I'pon assuming the chair Gen. Coffroth
gave his pantaloons a hitch or two as though
he wauled time to get bis breath after ttie
high honor that had just been bestowed upon
him. He reminded the members of the
convention that when be had presided ia
the same capacity one year ago he had pre
dicted the election of Cleveland and Steven
eon. This statement was greeted wilh long
continued applause. Continuing, the speak
er said: " I have beia so niisreprejeotid
throughout the cqunty that J hive decided
to break my life long custom nu' for th
first time read a speech." Suiting the action
lo the word he drew several sheets of man
uscript from his pocket aud proceeded to
laud the National and Slate administrations.
Then be administered a scathing rebuke to
those who had attenuated to create dlmnW
Win the ranks of the party and concluded bv i
inviting all Democrats to Quite in presenting
a bold front to the common enemy of their
arty. The address was punctuated with
applause and at its conclusion the Chair an
nounced that the next thing ia order was to
elect a County Chairman. The names of
Frank John and A. L. G. Hay, Esq., were
presented. Again an effort was made for s
i
Wee tjce rote but the secret ballot prevail-
ed, oa rote of the convention. Only one '
ballot was required, the vole standing John
Hay HI.
Four candidates for delegates to the State
convention were placed in nomination. The
Tote resulted in John H. I'M, LVq.,andJ.
M. Oata, receiving .VS votes each, aad Vaien
tinellay, E-q , and Geo. Grof, receiving 23
and i votes respecti vely .
At this juncture a committee of five, on
resolutions, was appointed aud.per.ding their
deliberation the convention proxedel to
canvass the vote cast at Saturday's primary.
For County Commissioner Wiliiam P.
Hay, of Jefferson lowuship, received MIS)
voles; Lewis A. Krelchman, of Summit
township, 74 4 votes; Joha Wagaman, of
Northampton township. 1st votes. For As
sociate Judge, Henry Hefll-y, of Somerset
borough, received voles. For Auditor,
Amos Walker, of Brothersvalley township.
received 1U7S voltrJ.
After the vote had been announced Ihe
ticket was completed by the convention as
follows : Sheriff, A. G. Grady, of Stonycreek
Treasurer. Jobu Stein, o.Rockwood: Pro-
thonotary, W. L. Kurtz, of Confluence
Register and Recorder, G. L. Dobson, of
Quemahoning; Poor House Director, Jesse
Sweitzer, of Middlecretk.
The vole was the largest ever polled at a
Democratic primary in the county.
After the committee on resolutions had
reported the regular old set of whereases that
have done service ever since the election of
Andrew Jackson, the convention adjourned.
How to Avoid Spring Fever.
Spring Fever, or tnat tired feeling, is
occasioned by an excess of beat in the hu
man body. The diet necessary to maintain
animal heat during wiater is no longer nec
essary during the warm mouths ol spring
and summer, aud a change is not only ben
efieaai but necessary. To avoid any unpleas
ant results, and to keep up vitality the sys
tem should be stimulated by the use of a lit
tle pure whiskey. Physicians throughout
the country unite in prescribing and recom
mending the whiskies bottled bv Max
Klein, on account of their purity and gener
al excellence, aad the known reliability of
his Silver Age, Duquesne and liear Creek
recommend them to all. Send for catalogue
of all kinds of liquors, mailed free, to

John Blttnerof Hooversvll.'o Nearly
Killed and Then Two Years Lat
er His Shanty Is Fired and He
Barely Escapes With His
Life.
The home of John A. H. Eittner, a miner
residing about three quarters of a mile from
Hooversville, was destroyed by fire and the
occupant had a very narrow escape from be
ing burned to death Saturday night.
Dinner worked in a coal mine on ihe farm
ot Jonn vt eigie anu liven alone in a one-
story house containing two rooms. Satur
day night he had retired and his large New
foundland dog. Pilot, was asleep under the
Led. About 1:1.) Sunday morning the dog
awoke his master by his barking, but Bitt
ner thinking there might be some other
dogs outside at which Pilot was barking
went to sleep again.
Shortly afterward the dog again became
noisy aud jumping on the bed began tug
ging at the clcthes. This awoke the sleejHir,
who found the room full ot smoke, tjuick
ly getting up Pinner ran lo the door and
opening it, fjund the kitchen a mass of
flames. Ke shut the dour and broke the
glass out of the window and crawled out.
The dog, which was an almost insepera
ble companion, crawled under the bed again
and refused to come out. He was burned
to death, as the house and all its content
were consumed. The loss includes a c .ok
stove, cooking utensils, clothing, two watch
es, in money and other goods.
Pinner frautically tried to save sonie of
his belongings, but of no avail, for the
flames bad acquired such headway that
tbey could not be stayed. The man was
nearly crazy over the loss of house, clothing
and dog, the fire leaving him homeless and
penniless.
The conflagration was undoubtedly of
incendiary origin and the old maa believes
his enemies are still pursuing him.
John P.ittner is a hard working coal
miner. In December, lSld, he was as
salted in bis shanty by two men and was
left for dead. His cheek was cut through
from mouth to ear and bis tongue was aiso
terrible cut. His face is still marked and
his tongue is yet partly split.
With indomitable fortitude he arose and
had his assailants arretted. At the
February, ls!j, term of court both
men plead guilty to the charge of as
sault and battery with intent to kill and did
not stand trial. It was supposed that this
was to prevent the revelation of a damnable
conspiracy to '"do" Dinner. The men were
sentenced to 11 years in the penitentiary.
The old miner thinks the firing cf his
house was another act of his enemies.
There was no lire in the house since Satur
day morning, so it could hardly have caught
ibat way.
Some of Bittner's friends hare started a
fund for his relief aud no one could con
tribute to a worthier object. He wants to
rebuild the house by the mine, which latter
he leased and works himself.
Her Secret.
The secret of the success of the Cinderella
Stoves and Hinges, is the superiority of the
material and workmanship that enters into
their construction ; they are clean by habit
have no dirt pockets and are sold g uaraa
teed to be good bakers and perfect roasters.

future such is New Kensington, eighteen
miles from Pittsburgh oa the Allegheny
Valley Railroad, where the Eurrell Im
provement Company begins a sale of lots on

ly thereafter.
This thriving place presents openings In
every line of business, offering exceptional
advantages to the merchant ia quest of a
steady paying trade, and to the speculator
on tbe bunt for an investment yielding
quick and large returns. The increase in
the value of lota naturally keeps pace with
the increase in wealth and nouulatinn
whiuh may be measured, by the fact that
the town was laid out only two years ago.
The diversity and magnitu ie of the indus

ance of its continued rapid growth.
Thirty trains run between New Kensing
ton and Pittsburgh daily.
