set of doors ami the explosion did not en

were evidently frightened by the noise caus

Judge Stewart of Franklin county has been
calk-d upea to decide whether township
supervisors can claim liy forthetr-e pre

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.

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.

YeneraMc 'Sijaire Beam and Wife
Brutally Beaton by Three
Masked Uufnarij.
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

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.

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.

''Ignorance of tbe law eicustta no man."

well apply to judges, lawyers and justices of

ly? A digest of our laws cist several dol

OTer, the legislature is constantly adding to
our laws, making it necessary to read the

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.
" B-ioks ia ail the required branches of
study are to be provided by the directors
and lor ail grades of the pubiic schools, in
cluding the high .-chool."

Ht STHuMJ, A :?. '"..Mrs. Minnie Han
ninger, of Laurel Ran, Jackson township,
this county, is the heroine of the hour in
this section. 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. Yesterday Mrs. Hanninger, in the
absence of her busbstid, determined to dis
cover, if pos-ib'e, the ma--.it: ier of her sheep,

moui.f.iin, where the sheep had sought shelt
er from the heat. 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

to spring at her, and when in .midair and
