Moore, at New Lexington, Tuesday night, and made an unsuccessful attempt to open the safe. A bole was drilled iu the top and a bi-avy charge of powder pla jed in it. For tunately the safe was provided with a double set of doors ami the explosion did not en tirely blow oir the first one. The robbers were evidently frightened by the noise caus ed by the explosion, as it was heard by per sons living ia the neighborhood of the store, and thinking that the town s people would light down oa them ma le their escape. The robbers stole a small amount of clothing attd merchandise. S )tne time ago arrangements were made for a public d-hate a! Meyersdale between K der Peter Yogel, of Somerset, and K.der I. M.

Both gentlemen have been actively employ ed at ptepani.g for the meetirg and their friends were eager that nothing should pre vent its taking place. Mr. Yoel tells us. however, that he recently heard from Mr. Gib-on and that be desires thi debate post ponei iudciiiitely. Judge Stewart of Franklin county has been calk-d upea to decide whether township supervisors can claim liy forthetr-e pre sumably on road repairs of horses and wag ins ow mil by themselves. As the Judge tersely puts it, il is a i lestion as to whether one occupying a public position, int-nsted with public money fur the purchase of arti cles for the public service, may runhase from himself. And to state the ipiestioa. as the judge said, is to answer it. It is contra ry to law. Nevertheless, just such cases as that raised in Franklin county are qtt'te common. Ihey are matters of no great uiacnitiide, and probably da not amount to an abuse in many Instances, but it ts a prac tice that should be ended as speed ly as pos sible, lor it is liable to lead into temptation.

The same gang S'l.-pecteJol committing tne out rage at 'Siptire Abrarn Beams', in Jenner township, are suspected of having robbed Sfiet ht's store. La'er information is to the effect that tbe rob!-rs were seen between three or four o'clock on Thursday morning, near Backs- town, by an old lady.

Jaoob Landis, ased 27, employed at the Shultz distillery, near Berlin, was instantly killed by the accidental discharge: of a gun last Tued:iy afternoon. Lindis and Henry Roger, a neighbor, were hunting. They drove a ground bog into bis bole and con cluded to capture him. After digging for some time at the boie in which the animal b id disapiMtared the men found that they would have to remove several logs ia order to prosecute their work further. Landis carelessly reached behind him and grasped bis gun, that bad been placed against a tree, and in drawing it forward tbe hammer caught on a twig and discharged a heavy load of shot into bis b'xly. The shot enter ed bis body just over the heart. The un fortunate man exclaimed "My God, I'm shot,"' and fell into the outstretched arms of his companion . He expired in a few min utes. Boger summoned aid and tbe dead man was carried to bis home. The deceased is survived by bis wife and two small chil dren. Citiiens of Conemaugh Township, claim .hat during tbe past several weeks a panther has bc-en roaming around through the spruce thickets in the neighborhood of Conner Post-office, and that on numerous occasions it was beard. About two weeks ago it was heard for tbe first time by men employed at Heckman Brothers' saw-no ill Messrs. A. O. Heck man. P. J. O'Conucr, and Alexander Landis. Mr. Landis claim? be has beard the scream of panthers on other occasions, and that the nois which the people bear every ciorbt is similar to that of a panther. The scream of the panther resembles that of a child, only with considerable more volume. Tbe above named gentlemen have bunted fur tbe panther in the places from which the serf ams appear to come, Jbut have at no time seen anything of it. For some time part the farmers in that locality have been missing sheep, and Dow that tbe fact has become known that there is a panther in that township, tbe farmers attribute tbeir loss to it. Tbe people in tbe vicinity will pot forth all efforts to search the woods thoroughly, and extirpate that species of animal in tbe locality.

Tbe most cowardly and brutal crime ever committed ia this county was perpetrated at tbe borne of the venerable Abram Beam, near Beam's Church, in Jenner township, last Tuesday night. Three masked men en tered the bouse, occcpied at tbe lime by Mr. Ream and bis wife, and after subjet ting the defenseless eld couple to most cowardly and brutal treatment, ransacked the house in a vain tfbort to find money. Both Mr. Beam and his wife were quite seriously hurt, and considering tbe great a.'e of tbe former, it will be remarkable inaeel if be recovers from tbe effects of the dastardly assault. Mr. Beam, who is now in his nioetyjev- er.tb year, and his wife, who is sixty years of age, retired soon after dark. Tne front door was left unlocked in order that J. W. Ben son, of Pittsburgh, who is spending the summer with the Beam's and who bad gone to tbe bouse of a neighbor, a half-mile dist ant, to secure a Pittsburgh daily newspaper. which the msil carrier had left there for him, might enter without arousing the fami ly. Mr. Benson, who is seventy years of age, returned to Beam's shortly after nine o'clock. When he drew near the house be heard voices inside and believing that Mr. Beam bad been seiied with a sudden attack of sickness he quickened his pace. Cpou en tering tbe front door be saw tbe forms of three strange men iu tbe bedroom occupied by bis hosts. Tbe men were talking in loud aad angry tones and were urging Mrs. Beam to tell where her husband's money was con cealed. Benson carried a light cane in bis baud, and realizing that robbery was being committed, he drew bis cane to a striking position and rushing up to the door demand ed " wbat is the matter? ' The only reply be received was a command from one of the men, who pointed a revolver in his face, to drop his bands. Before the old feiluw bad time to comply with the command, he was felled to the Hoor by a blow from a club in the bands of one of tbe robbers. Benson says that the robbers evidently thought that he was leading a band of farmers bent oa capturing them and that they appeared to be as anx ious to get out of the house as he bad been to get in. Struggling to regain his feet, be cried, " come on, men ! " and " bloody mur der!'' at the top of his voice to his supposed followers. He was knocked down three times by tbe robbers before they left tbij house. As soon as the robbers tied Mr. Benson again entered the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Beam. Mrs. Beam was bleeding from a number of ugly cuts and bruises oa her bead and was beading over the prostiate form of her aged husband, who was lying in one corner of the room, apparently uncon scious. Blood was streaming down the old man's face and bad saturated his cloth ing. Benson helped to place him ou the bed and then went int o the yard and rung the dinner bell in order to arouse the neigh bors. In a short time several neighbors re plied to the summons when one of them Went to Jenner X. Roads fur Dr. Cavode. The Dr. found Mr. Beam suii'eriug from sev eral ugly scalp wounds and nervous prostra tion. His wife was more seriously hurt. An ugly gash four or lire inches long on her forehead, showed where one of the coward ly brutes had struck her with a club. Sev eral other scalp wounds were made by the cruel blows that bad been rained down upon her. Her hotly was a mass of bruises and for a long lime it was feifed that she might die from the wounds and excitement under w hich she labored. MBS. b Ft KM 8 STi.'RV. Mrs. Beam says that she and tier husband bad laid down on the bed awaiting the re turn of Benson. She saw a man moving about the yard, but thinking that it was Ben son, wbo had returned, she waited for him to enter. Suddenly three masked men rushed into the bedroom occupied by the venerable couple and commenced shooting over the bed with revolvers they carried in their bands. One of the rascals struck Mr. Beam several times on the head with a club and then gra-ping him by the throat dragged him from the bed and threw Lim vioient'y in a c irr.et cf tbe room. Mrs. Beam was al so struck repeatedly over the bead and body with clubs in tbe hands of the robbers. The Fpokc-iman of the party urged her to hand over all the money she had in the house. She went to a bureau drawer, and securing three pocket books, obediently bsnded them over. The pocket books only contained a few bits of silver . binge, and when the robbers insisted on knowing where the bilance of her husband's money was bidden and threatened ber with instant death nn less she lold, she replied that she had paid all of the ready cash they had in the house t-jthe tax collector the day before. The robbers refused to accept this explana tion and one of them had thrown her to the ti Kir and planting his knees on ber breast was endeavoring to extort a confession from her as to where the coveted money was con cealed when Mr. Benson entered the house aad frightened them away. There was so much excitement and con fusion about the bouse that none of the in mates are able to give a description of the robbers that could lead to their detection. Mr. Hi-am had sold several bead of rattle a day or two before the robbery and it is supposed that th.s fact became known to the robbers, who hoped to find the money ra ceived for the cattle in the house. Mrs. Beam had taken the money to pay her hus band's taxes to the tax collector for Jenner township, Monday, and Mr. Benson says that so far as he knows there was cot ex ceeding thirty-five cents in the house. An impression prevails throughout the north of the county that the robbery al Beam's and several other places in that sec tion, have all been committed by the same ging, who have their headquarters in the mountains between Jennertuwn and Ligo nier. A report was current in Somerset, Friday, that Mr. Beam had died from the effects of the beating he had received at the hands of the robbers, but it was denied later. Few men iu this co uaty enjoy the gooJ will and esteem of a larger circle of friends thin Mr. Beam. He is a man of unusual intelligence and three or four decades ago took a prominent part in county and local business affairs. .He was elected county commissioner about Cfty years agi. A club used by oue of the robbers to beat Mr. and Mrs. Beam is on exhibition at, the Hebald office. Il is a piece of green timber, about four feet long and thick as a man's wrist, and is heavy enough to fell aa ox. Another Outrage. While Katie Spangler, a twelve year old girl of Summit Mills, was gathering berries near the W. P.

The fellow was shabbily dress ed, coat split up tbe back, had a long dirk knife attached to tbe waist by leather tbong. The little one broke from him and though be attempted to catch her she tied like a deer and made good ber escape. Modern Housework.

A Strange Field Fire. Frrai the MeyejsitaJc Commercial. Orville Roes Bird and Jacob Saylor till the adjacent farms of the Cumberland Jc Elklicic Coal Company ia Summit town ship. As the land is located and divided in to fielile, Mr. L'ir !, in order to get to his barn, must drive through one of Mr. Savior's tielJs. Tueoiday after darner Mr. Bird be gin hauling iu his wheat. Two of his little daughters delighted to help him gel the sheaves of golden grain to the wagon, which his sons loaded, as tbey were pitched up. When the load was secured the Uatn started for the barn through the Saylor field, ail hands going with it. Auer being w ell in Ibis field one of the i.itle girls cried oat "Oh, pia, see the fire. Mr. Bird hastily turned and saw the wheat stubbie burning, and fanned by the slight breeze, rapidly ex tending to his territory. The Saytor force were summoned and some desperate fight ing was done, bat before it was conquered at least 3cC rails of the fence were destroyed and 22 shocks of wheat, the loss being esti mated at nearly $40 iiO. It required ail of two boars to subdue it. The day was in tensely hot and thstuhble dry as tinder. Now, what is strange about the matter is that there was no tire in the Held of any kind, no one smoked, no one had any matches, there were no Sortsiucn shooting at game, no strangers on the premises, and there was no fire at the sjiot where it began when the wagon drove over it. The only plausible theory advanced is that the iron bound wheels struck a diaty stone, which brought forth the sparks that iguited tbe stubble ; certainly all the conditions were favorable ; the ground was parched by the protracted drouth, the sun was blazing from a cloudless sky its midday fervent heat and the stubble bad been burned almost to tiu der. We are happy to know that the loss is so small, compared with what it might have been. Notice. During my attendance at the Dental Con gress at Chicago, my oilice will be closed August 1Kb, lo 25th. S.J. McMillax, Dentist. Hicks' Weather Forecast fcr August. Tbe storm period, Sth to 12tb, promises the most active and dangerous storms in the month, having as tbe disturbing causes "Vulcan" centra! on the 8th, Venus central on the tith, New Moon on the 11th and Mercury central on the 12t'a. There is reason to apprehend violence iu the elements between tbe fth and 12th. Tbe beat will become intense before the storms appinr, the barometer will be depressed generally, reaching phenomenal "lows'' at some points. and cloud formations will be black and ominous. Heavy hail, thunder and wind may be expected, and cloudbursts are sure to result here and there. S-ich are the results ordinarily following such a combina tion of cau-es, but there are except ioualca-es, when instead of the beat breaking into storms of rain, bail wind and thunder, the warmth is prolonged, growing more and more oppressive, the life element iu the at mosphere seems exhausted, and the sky -umes a gray to brassy a-pect, aa incubus seeming to fasten up ail nature, no.il violent earthquake phenomena break the spell and allow the elemets lo return to their normal condition. If perchance this particular period should take this turn, we call upon the people and press everywhere to note cart-lullv whether or not it terminates after the manner we have indicated. Whether it ends in storms or sesimic perturbations, there wiil be suddn revulsions from great heat to very cool, with probabilities of tem perature failing almost or quite to the fiost line in northern regions say from 11th to 1 I'll. About the loth, reactionary tempera ture with southerly winds will most liely result in another spell of storminess, and be followed by another northwesterly iurish of cool air. From the lsth to 22nd falls another jieriod of heat and storms. We came the It'th, 'Joth ami 21st as days on which the chief distur bances will be at their crisis. The moon's first quarter on tbe morning of the luth in connection with the prevailing Venus electric strain is very apt t o produce gales and thunder tqualls within twenty four hoars of '.'p. m. on that date. Another series of disturbance for two or three days will be natural during this period, but the barometer, wind carcuts and temperutur will plainiy announce when the storm cur rents have been reduced to tbe normal the wind coming coo! and steadily from the west and north the barometer moving upward, aad temperature filling. After these disturbences there will be a close ap proach to the frost line ia the north. Pleas am days and very cool nights will follow up lo reactionary changes and storms on and touching the 2t!th and 27ih. The full mum on the 27th will tend to centralize the disturbance on and around that date, and will help to precipitate any tendency to seismic throes that may exist, such being more than probable at the lime, if electrical storms should not have been frequent and hard during the month. August ends with the first stages of a storm period coming into action that is. barometer will be falling in the west, with temperature rising in advance of if, fed by the southerly air currents that transport moisture, heat and electric f iree. from the equatorial regions. August storms iimistof the northern hemisphere will develop and move from the northwest, the first marked indication of their coming be ing generally a dark or leaden bank across the northwest at sunset. There is a cause for this. It is the return of our globe toward the autumnal equinox, and an t tfort of nature to let in through our polar gates cooler ozone and atmosphere from outer space.

That time honored old aaying may ery well apply to judges, lawyers and justices of the peace, but how about the people general ly? A digest of our laws cist several dol lars, and even if one is owned and studied OTer, the legislature is constantly adding to our laws, making it necessary to read the new ones if one would escape the jienalties for their non-o iservance.

S. Gov't Report. ABSOLUTELY PURE Frea Text Cooks. Saperintt-udeat Nathan C. Sl.aei.er, of the department of public instruction, has iasusd the following letter : " The act of rsserably approved June 25, lSo, conferred upon the several beards of scho)! dirtcti rs and con'.roiltrs permissive authority to purchase text books out of the school fund, and to supply these books free of cost to the pupils for use in the schools ol their respective districts. This act was so amended by the act of May IS, l'.c;, as to make it nianilatory upon school directors hereafter lo provide at the exper.se of the district not only the text books, but also all other necessary sc hool supplies. " This amended act goes into immediate operation from the beginning of the current school year, dating from the first Monday ia June, l-l-.'. The design of the act evidently is to reiteve parents and puyils hereafter from the necessity of purchasing text books and school supplies for use in our public schools. It is now the imperative daty of the several boards of directors and controll ers lo make provision for furnishing and equipping their schools With school books and with the supplies generally needed by the pupils for daily use in the schools, such as slates, pencils, paper, pens, ink, tablets, etc. "There may be instanees in which the patrons of the schools will cause their chil dren to use the books in their possession so long as these books are in good Condition and do not differ from those accepted by the board. Il is well, however, in this connec tion for all school officers and all other par ties concerned to bear iu mind the fact thai parents and children cannot be required or compelled tj purchase books directly, as heretofore; and whilst it is, no d jubt, wise to urge the pupils to Use the books in their possession for the purpose of lessening the immediate outlay of money, they caa not be obligid to Use their own books, because the duty of providing books and supplies for use i.i the schools now duvulves upon the di rectors and controllers having jurisdiction in the district and not upon the patrons of the M-hools, except in so far as they may be law fully taxed for school purposes, thereby con tributing their Kpiitabie share lo the gener al school fund of the district.

Durii g the past three months the Hanningers have Io; a large number of sheep and lambs fiom the deprecations of some wild animal that inhabited the moun tainous recion in that irjniel.ate neighbor hood.

At about 4 o'e.ocfe tne woamu reached her de-!in-,:ion and secreted herself behind a fallen tree. She had watched thus for about an hour when she was startled by seeing a large yel low catamount stealthily creeping lowarl the unsuspecting sheep. The animal seized a half grown sheep that was browsing away from the rest and was making cifwitbit, when Mrs. Hanninger ran after it with her club. The catamount droppe-I its prey when thus pursued and turned on the wo man. Mrs. Hannimrer was equal to the emergency. She waited for the catamount to spring at her, and when in .midair and wilh its j'iws threa'eningly opened she thru-t her hickory weapon dowa the animals throat. She wis knocked doan by the for.-e of the attack, but q ihkly recovering ai.d still retaining hold of her broom handle she kept churning thecitam ouut's interior until she had subdued her assailant, and then with a few stout blows she killed it.
