The Reformed Chinch re-union and pic uic at Kxkwoo-J, last Tinr- lay, did not at tract the large crowd that was anticipated, owing to the threattnirg weather. About one thousand eop!e had assembled in the grove above the town at noon aad after lunch the program arranged tor the occasion was carried out. I'r. Rupp, of Meyersdaie, spoke of the progress of the Reformed Chnrh in a century of its history iu the Patted States from 17'J.j to Dr. Kre- nier. of Berlin, took f or his subject the mis sionary work of the Church in America. Rev. King, of Som-r showed the inde pendent origin of the Ufjrnte-.l Church at the reformation, it not being a hrari'-h of sny pan of protestanism, but having its source directly in the Founder of the Church Himself. The following pis-tmasters were appointed in this county Monday : J. J. Reynolds, Con fluence; D. W. Uo'der, Holsapple; S. P. Geis e!, Hooversvihe.

Never before during the thirty yea-s that the farmers have been holding the.r annual harve-t home in tne beautiful grove near Friedeus has the crowd reached the num ber that was present la-it Saturday. The crowd was variously estimated at from three to six thousaud persons and n was certainly nearer the latter than the former number. It was a representative farmers gathering and was composed of crsous from ali sec tions of the county, many of them having traveled twenty miles in order to be present. Barring the dusty roads aud high wia J that prevailed, the day was an ileal one to spend in the woo is. T ie pic nic groaads were provided with ail kinds of amusements and those present who failed to have a good time have only theiusehej to biarae. Tne harvest borne was held under the auspices of ihe Friedeas Lutheran Caurch and dur ing the cay a numoer of addresses were de l.vered by proni.tie.it members of that de iiominai.on and otaers. Several bauds of mosic were ia a'.teu 1 tne?. Oa las: Saturday morning Misses Amanda and Susanna Mishler, daughters of Mr. Levi Mishler, of Cjac.TiJugh Tjwaship, started to walk to their home from the Red Bridge, on the L.t.L,!n re .v. uaio UailroaJ, a few miles from Johustowu. The distance to their horae is about eight miles and they walk-jd across the fields and lost taelr way. iu lae ereaia Mr. Mish ler. knowing they were t-j have arrived home that day. left in search of them, and was in formed at the placs where they left that they started to walk eirly that morning. A numOer of farmers then j incd Mr. Mishler to search for the lost girls, and when thej arrived at his home late at night the girls had just ent-red. Thev had lost their way, and walked all day untii they reached a road that led to their horae. It was reported that during the s 'arch for them parts of a cjw were found that hid been devoured by the panther, which has been seen in that vicinity on several accaaions. It was supposed from this the girls had fallen the prey of the panther. The following from the Washington i'urt will prove interesting to the many Somerset friends of Mr. " Tom'' C.

Monday afternoon about one hundred of the leading farmers tf Somerset township roiiecied on the farm of Paniel Maust, two roiies north of town, for the purpose of wit- i nessing the performance of a stone crasher I that it was proposed to pnrchnse for use on j tLeto:;sh;projfc. The machine did not perform the work it was elaiuiei it could to the satisfaction of ail the gentlemen present and it was decided not to purch.i-e it. The farmers of Somer set township are determined to improve the condition of their reads, but they are un willing to invest in an expensive piece of machinery until they are fully satisfied that it will jerform the work better and cheaier than the same can be done by hand. It is claimed that a camber of the gentle men present were prejudiced against the ma chine before they saw it in operation because they feared it purchase meant payment of taxes in cash. Many townships in the east ern counties of the State have been using stone crushers oa their roads for years and find tbat they do the work satisfactorily and economically. Deth From Lock-jaw. Famucl Fyock, of Paint township, living about I miles from Scalp Level, lit s at the pjiut of death as a result of an accident which happened last Monday. The acci dent iiself w as not so serious, but the attend ant consequences have led to a bad condi tion. It was while chopping a tree that he was struck by a limb in such a manner as to break his leg. He was taken to his home where it was properly dressed, but lockjaw ensued and for several days he has been in a very critical condition. If a favorable channe docs not jxn lake place it is feared he cannot receiver. Since the above was written we learn that Mr. Fyock expired Friday night, from lock jaw. The funeral took place Monday morning at the late residence of the deceased, and was largely attended. The obsequies were very impressive, and interment was made in the farm graveyard. Mr. Fyock was about sixty years of age and was highly resjected. He is survived by his wife and one sou, John, whose farm adj jins the old homestead. The dec-eased was a faithful member of the German Baptist Church. About nine years since, Cve or six of Mr. and Mrs. Fy ock's children died within a few days of each other, the cause being diptheria. Lost In the Woods. The Annual Meeting of the Duukard Church will be held in Meversdale next May. Tuis meaui that between thirty and lifiy thousand members of that denomina tion from ail Sections of the United States will be entertained in the '-Metropoiis"' for a period of from one to two weeks. As the Herald said on a previous occasion Meyers dale has demonstrated her ability to handle large crowds of ieop!e and with the facili ties at the command of that town at present she can do so easier now than ever before. The Annual meeting is a big affair and it hrin: s big business to the town iu which il is held. We congratulate the enterprising people of Meyersdaie npoa having secured iu The ejmmlf.ee charged with the selection Meyersdaie were duly presented and urged. decided upon Meyersdaie as the most avail able place. The Johnstown people are vcy much dis appoiuted at the committee's dicisioa aud will make an efijrt to have them recjnsider when they convene again at Meyersdaie some time nexl month for ihe purpose of at tending to other matters relating to the An nual Meeting. Il is hardly likely that the committee wiil take any further action in the matter. Failure at Hyndman. Executions were issued Thursday morn ing against John K. While and George B. White, of Hyndman, for ffi.ooo. The Whiles are owners of several tanneries. John K. White is, also. President of the South Pennsylvania National Bank of Hyndman, which, also, went down in the wreck. The bank's doors failed to open Thursday morning. The capita! stock of the banking concern is 5.-ii,i.M. For the past ten days there Las been a steady run. It is thought that all the deposits will be paid in full, as one of the executions issued this morning for il11, 0" O is in flavor of the bank. A statement wiil be made public in a few days. By the s iutting down of tbe steam tanneries over 2 men are thrown out of employment. Later developments show that it is a big ger failure than at first suppose 1. Jjhu K. and George B. White owned 43 of the . shares in the bank. The run has been a heavy, merciless one lor two weeks. Other concerns that will be affected by the failure, besides the big tanneries, are tbe Everett Water and Electric Light Companies, the Hyndman Water Company and the Ama zon Sreamship Company, plying between New York and Sjuth America, The Comp troller of the Currency has been notified to take charge of the bank aud ail the firm's personal property has been issued on. White Brothers' liabilities are $.;jo,0"cJ. asseta said to be good for f I.V,t j. Judge Longenecker, who arrived in Som erset Monday evening, say that he learned on very good authority while at Hyndman that the bank would pay dollar for dollar to all of its depositors.

The com bination got in its dea liy work on "Tucker" Hunt's train at Dunbar last Tuesday nigbt when Hartman attempted to prevent Watt from sbootiugConducior Hani. When the I'niontown Express reached Couneilsvilie Tuesday evening, young Watt with a number of companions boarded it to go home. Conductor Hunt had some diffi culty in collecting the fares from two of Wait's companions who sat a few seats ahead of him. When the. Conductor asked Watt for his fare be claim-.! he had paid it. H ant told him he would have to pay or get oif and took hold of him to put him o.T. Watt then paid, and the conductor passed oa into the next car. As Hunt paused out of the door Watt rose to his feet and drew his revolver, declaring be would shoot the conductor. Hartman told Watt to put Lis revolver away, as he might burl some one with it. After commanding Hartman to stand aside Watt leveled his revolver at tbe receding form of Conductor Hunt, who was just passing into tbe rear car. Hartman sprang upon Watt and grappled with him. He forced the revolver down, but just as the muzale of the weapon was in range with his abdomen it was discharged. Hartman fell to the R xir exclaiming that be was shot. At this part of the struggle 'Squire Cot tom, of Dunbar, seizd Wait. A desperate struggle ensued during which Watt fired two more shots. Oae pierced Cot torn 's bands, and the other went through the ceiling. Half a dozen strong arms soon seized Watt and overpowered him. The wounded brakeman was carried to the baggage car and taken to his home at I'nion town. The wounded man has relatives living in and aroua 1 Berlin. Hartman died at I'niontown Monday morning.

Oa Saturday evenirg the State Pepart ruenl sent out to each board cf County Com missinr.ers in the state sample ballots and blanks necessary to be used under the amended ballot law. Vridcr the provisions of the ballot b,w, as amen.itd by the last Legislature, the work of voters at the com ing election will be much less intricate than at the last two elections. The oiEcial bal lots wiil, of course, be considerably smaller, a but seven othees are to be filled, but tne method of votinir has been s-.tuplitied ?rv materially and but little excuse remains f ir incorrect marking, a reason seized uqion in February last for throwing out many ballots when the count was in progress. The voter can now vote a straight ticket by simply making a cross (x'l in a cirjle placed at the Lead of each column cf candi dates, instead of being romp-tlei to make his cross after tbe party denomination above each group of canui.ia.es. For instance, a! tbe last November election tbe voter voting astra'ght ticket was cornialir 1 to make ei.chl Crosse, one each above tbe groups de voted to Presidential electors, Congressruen-at-large and J.idi;e of Supreme Court, I'is trict Congressmen, Sena'ors, Representatives and other county otlices. In fplitling his ticket the voter h: only ... . ., , . .1 to make across in the squats at the right of the name of each candidate voted for, care being taken not to mark iu the circle at the beail of either co uma. The Prohibition candidates will this year have a column of their own and a blank column will be pro vided on the official ballot in which to write the names of candidate) nominated by nom ination papers or for whom the voter, for some reason, ilrsires to ca.st his ballot. An amendment that will obviate the throwing out of so Large a number of bal lots as heretofore, provides that, "if a voter marks more names than he is entitled to vote for an olfii-e, or jf for any rea-on, it is impossible to decerriiiae the voter's choice for any office to be tilled, his ballot shall riot be counted fr such olliee. but shall be counted for all other otlices f.r which th? names of candidates have been proper'y marked.
