good idea who the thieves were. It is said
that they do not liva very far from the sta

who was once a well-known minister of
Philadelphia, and famous throughout the

The County Commissioners and County
Auditors have decided to reduce the per
cent age of the County Treasurer on all
county funds passing through his hands
from two and one-half to two per cent.
This action w ill not interfere with the fees
of tbe present incumbent as it cannot take
effect until his successor in otSoe has been
duly ijuidifitd. Tbe power.to regula'e tbe
per centage of tbe Treasurer is vested in the
boards of County Commissioners and Audit
ors by act of Assembly. We understand
tbit a reduction of one-haif per cent will
curtail the emoluments of that office about
io'.'O per year, Somerset county has uni
formly paid two aad a half per oent com
mission to all of ber Treasurers. E. E
Pugh will be the first Treasurer elected to
feel the reduction.
A petition is being circulated and signed
by a number of the qualified electors of Som
ersettownsbip praying the Conrt to designate
some convenient place within the limits of
said election district where general elections
shall be held. The electors of Somerset
township .have voted at tbe Court House
ever since tbe erection of that building, but
a recent act of the legislature requires that
they vote within the limits of the district in
which they r&ide. The change of the poll
ing place will be a great inconvenience to
many voters and no matter where the voting
house is located it ia bound to cause more or
less dissatisfaction. Judge Longcnecker will
bold a special session of conrt on the 10 inst,
when polling places will b designated for
Somerset township and other ptecincts in
the county where a change is made necessa
ry by the law referred to.
diaries J. Melville, a man who at one
time was famous throughout Europe and
America, died at the West Penn Hospital,
Pittsburgh, last Monday, aged 73 years. A
Pituburgh paper bes the following in regard
to his career and sickness:
Melville for years was tbe champion bare
back rider of the world Almost from his
infancy he bad been traveling as a circus
rider. He was engaged with Dan R ce, axd
had traveled and gave peifirmances in
ail the principal cities of America and
nearly all European countries as well.
Melville's fame was so great that he was
called npon to give private performances of
bereback riding before almost all the crown
ed heads. He made fortunes and lost them
in his time. He married when yonng, bnt
his domestic lite was unhappy. His wife
was only 10 years of age when she was
married. Two children were born, a son
and a daughter. Both of them are living in
the neighborhood of Forwardstowo, in
Somerset sounty, where their parents lived
for some years after marriage.
During the war Melville enlisted in an
Ohio regiment and served at tbe front until
be was sent home to recover from wounds
received in battle. During this time his
wife had formed an intimacy with another
man whom she afterwards married. When
Melville recovered sufficiently front his
wounds be again took up his circus life and
continued at it until old age and approach
ing blindness obliged him to quit the profes
sion. Daring tbe last three or four years
Melville spent upwards of (1.200 trying to
save his eyesight. He had been living with
his son and paying lor his board, but when
tbe son discovered tbe old man's money was
about all spent be turaed him out, as tbe
father alleged.
On June 24 Melville was admitted to the
West Penn hospital. He was totally blind
and almost exhausted for want of proper at
tention. It was thought be would only live
a lew days, but under tbe skillful treatment
he received be astonisbei everyone by his
rapid recovery. Some short time ago he
bad a raiapsa and died from exhaustion
yesterday morning.
A Horse) Thief Captursd.
Oa lat Tuesday a MrenpH- riding a tne
bay mare prtsenkd him.-e'f at tbe b'ack-
! smith shop of O. G. and H. C Barn hart, in
otoyestown, and proposed to trade his aat
! ma! for a fi ie pofiy owned by the proprie
j tors. They at finst looked rpm l:im with
suspicion, but he toM a very plausible story,
stating that he lived at Harri;lurg and was
returning from a trip to Ohio, and, after tha
nsual " dickering,"' the trade was made and
the stranger 0-parted with the pony.
On Wednesday morning a telegram was
received by Samuel Custer, landlord of tbe
Custer House, 8fystown, from James E.
McAfee, of Your.gstown, Westmoreland
county, stating that the mare had been stol
en from his stable on Monday night and of
fering a reward tir her recovery and tbe ar
rest of tbe thief.
The mare was placed in charge of officer
L. r. Sbaffer, who started to re-turn her to
the owner, while tbe Messrs. Barnhart at
once started in pursuit of the thief and po
ny. After an exciiirg chaie tliy located
the pony at Osterburg, Bed ford county, on
Thursday, where they fouud Lim in the pos
session of W. H. ImleT, who bad traded for j
him.
Tae trail was aaiu taken, and on Friday
the thief was apprehended at Mariinsh.i'g,
Blair county, wiiile ths man was negotia
ting another trade. He was arrested and
placed in jail at II aiiidaysburg, awaiting the
arrival of Westmoreland county otlicers.
He was identified as Charles Long, a native
of Schellsburg, at which place his mother
still resides.

A Merry Church Fight.
Suit has been filed in the Cambria county
court against Revs. Bcaleand Bartlett, two
well-known E .-angelical ministers of this
city. Attorney Ether, a son of 13. jh p E ih
er, came down from Somerset a few days ago
to further tbe preparations for the coming
contests in the conrts. Ex-Mayor Hose will
defend Revs. F.eale aad Bartlelt.
The case grows oat of the loag-standing
contention between two factions of the Evan
gelical church and ministry in Cambria, In
diana, Bedford and Somerset counties. They
are divided into two classes the Dubsitcs
and the Edierites. The Dubsites are in tbe
saddle and the Eiheritesare left behind. It
is the Esheri es who are pushing the suits
for suits bave been filed in Bedford, Somer
set aud Indiana counties as well as in Cam
bria. Evidence wiil bs taken in Bedford
county this we?k and if the sait terminates
favorably for the Dabs faiitiou it is probably
that the Kiher faction will let the suits in
the other counties go by default, since defeat
in Bedford county practically means defeat
in Cambria, Somerset and Indiana counties.
The trouble seems to bave started at the
general conference held in Buffalo in l-itVi.
in which a large number of the mem'oe-rs of
the conference desired the deposition of the
editor of the Evangelical Messenger, and a
portion of the delegates refaael to endorse
the proceed in gi. Since then the breach h as
widened. One faction preferred charges
against Bishop E herand iijwiuan, ar.d the
other against Bishop Dubs. But the Dabs
faction would not recogn:xe the proceedings
aainot their favorite bishop.
Bishop Dubs presided at tha Pittsburgh
conference held in Joanstowu in February,

Another Man Buncoed.
"It has just come to light," says theCon
nellsville CuurUr, "that C. K. Sadler, of
Point Marion, has bcvri swindled out of $7,
0 and is aiao liable for a note arniuating
to$10,KX). Sadler has sworn out a warrant
for a man who worked the slick game on
bim and who passed off as L. A. Sprague of
Pittsburg. Sprague turned up in Point Mar
ion some months ag , about the lima a land
boom struck tbe place. Sadler contemplated
selling bis farm off in towa lots. Soragm
represented himself as an agent for a loan
association, which would prove a bonanza
t j thoss getting in oa the ground door, and
represented further to Sadler tho folly of let
ting money lie idle when be could make 15
or 20 per cent, on it in his own scheme.
Sprague, it is said, claimed the privilege of
working his scheme in Pennsylvania and
Virginia, and would sell the right for tbe
first named state for $75.tiQ and fur West
Virginia for Sto.OtX). He finally got Sadler
to invest $10,000. Sadler is a man who usu
ally requires his best neighbor to give secur
ity for any ordinary sum, but to this strang
er he gave $7,000 here without any security
whatever. The payment was by a check on
a Union town bank.
The cashier hesitated about giving Sprague
the sum, but Sadler said it was all right, and
Sprague got the money. This $7,CeX) Spraue
said he would credit in the note for $!0,Oki,
which Sadler had also given him. The note
is entered up in the Protbonotary's office,
but no credit is given on it. Sprague did,
however, give a receipt for the cash. Sadler
has beard nothing of Sprague since then.
Sadler's attorney has asked the court to open
up the judgment with tbe view of having it
set aside on the ground of misrepresentation.
A warrant has also been issued for Qprague's
arrest on a charge of false pretens."

I The Mechanic's Lien Act Unconstitutional.
Property owners, builders, contractors
aad mechanics are all interested in the de
c'sion of Judfre Hemphill, cf Cfcestt r ccun-
ty, which declares that the Mechanic's
Lieu law cf June 8, l"v!, is not leg's'atioa
brat usurpation, trer passes epen the inher
ent and indefe.'sib'te righ's cf property, vi
olates the fundamental principles cf both
contracts aad a-tticy, elimiiiat-rg from the
one mutuality of asseat and frum the other
the authorization of the princil, and is
therefore uticor-stilutioi'i'.l and Void.
The act of lsiH drc!ares. fir-;, that co'
contract shall prevent tbe filing of a me
chanic's lien for work done c-r materials
furnithed unless the suh-coi trsctnr shall
consent to tbe contract ia writing, ar.d that
without sach written contract ail contracts
which declare ttiat no !n shall be filed
shall be invalid ss acair-st the riht f tl.e
sub contractor to fi e the same. Secondly,
the act declares that all persons contracting
with the owner shall be considered the
ageLtsof tbe owner in orderitt work aad
materials for the erection of a buildiiig.
Voder this act David MoMaster, a sab con
tractor, filed a l'en astaitist ilie We-i Chester
Normal School. The s.'ho il as ac-irpuraticn
had deJt directly wi(h Davis Pennock, who
contracted to erect tne building. With him
a written agreement had been made in
which Pen nock, for himself and his sub con
tractors, waived the right to tile any lien or
claim against the property or owner, and
agreed to file no such lien. McMasters, who
was Penuock's sub contractor, did not unite
in the agreement. McMasters attempted to
recover, claiming that Pen nock wns the
agent of tbe school corporation and that he
bad not, by written contract, parted with
his right to file a lien iu accordance with the
terms of the act of I-Ol.
Judge Hemphill summarizes the decisions
of the I'r.ited States and State courts under
the law of contracts. The fits: point to be
ascertained was whether the act of lt".l
affected the original contract or remedy
provided. The judge points out that the
act gives no new remedy, for the contractor
bad the right of lien before its passage, and
that it affects tolely the contract taking
effect and becoming operative at the in
ception of the contract, while the remedy
provided by law for the enforcement of the
contract becomes operative only when the
contract has been broken. Continuing the
judge holds that the section of the act which
makes the original contractor the agent of
the owner creates an involuntary agency,
not when the contract is brok en, but w hen
ma le. As in the case decided the contract
was made subseq ueut to the law, and the
latter would therefore become part of the
former, Judge Hemphill is of opinion the
act of IStU does not impair the obligation of
contracts, but decides it to be unconstitu
tional on other grounds. These grounds
are that tbe act attempts to interfere with
the owner's right of contract aad creates
without his consent an agency between him
and the sub-contractor. He therefore holds
that the Legislature attempts to do great
injustice to the owner and exercise a power
never conferred upon it, but. on the other
hand, expressly reserved to the individual
citizen by the declaration of rights of the
State Constitution.
Practically the act would put the owner
at the mercy of the first sub-ontracior,
since there might easily be sub contractors
of whom the owners could have no knowl
edge. A contractor could not contract for
the erection of a building iu satisfaction of a
debt without running the risk of being
worse off than he was before, siuce the
debtor could by concealing the aab-eontiact,
appear to satisfy the debt and subsequently
liens could be filed which would a'osoib the
value of the buiidin.-.
The objections to the act stated by Judge
Hemphill are so serious -hat they will at
once be apparent to every reader of I be
decision. The wonder might exist that
these objections were not seen when the
Leg'slature and press were discussing the
sur-j'vt at the time the act was passed, were
it not for the fact that Legislatures are cou
staut'y engaged In the attempt to make
unconstitutional laws at the instigation of a
dais which doe's not tte very clearly the
rights of other classes. l'hihuldybii i

A Frightful Accident.
One of tbe most distressing accidents that
we have ever been called upon to record
occurred at Sccttdale last Friday evening.
Miss Cora Pbiiipps being instantly killed,
and Mrs. Pritts, who accompanied her
(lightly ir j ured.
The two ladies were out driving, and when
nearing tbe ML I'ieasant branch road their
horse took fright at a passing train and ran
away. Tbe ladies bad no control over the
maddened animal, which dashed up to the
railroad at a furious pace. The bug y struck
an obstacle and tbe ladies were both thrown
out. Mus Pbiiipps was thrown on the track
immediately in front of the moving, train,
aud before assistance could reach her, the
wheels had passed over her head crushing
out her life in an instant. The train was at
once brought to a stop and the remains of
the unfortunate lady picked up by the crew.
Her skull was crushed snd her body was
badly mangled. Tbe body was removed to
her boarding place and taken charge of by
her friends.
Mrs. Pritts was removed to ber home.
Her injuries consist of a number of painful
cuts and bruises, and while of a serious na
ture are not considered fatal.

ABSOLUTELY PURS
Hon. Don Cameron.
Sl'MiLKStT, l'.V , OJ. It, lJ
En. HiaaiD: Will you permit a life-Iorg
Republican to have hi ray on a mat' er that
does not qnadrate with ih tf-r.era! jeati
meut of the RepuWi-an pres of our State,
and is evidently not in accord with the opin
ion expressed by the Herald?
It ia amusing to note how flippantly Pitts
burg and Philadelphia papers, with few ex
ceptions, and the countr press generally,
that simply reflects city-maauf.te'ared opiu
iotis, go for Hon. D a Cameron because he
d.rlers with Prsldcnt Ceveiand and the
molded nieu of Wail Street. Nothing srrm
to be too ugly or too hard to say about him,
and ail because he has had the courage of
his convictions. One paper breaks out in
the following distiche : "Ths disgraceful at
titude of Senator Cameron is perhaps with
out a parallel in the annals of the National
Legislature." And another smart Alex, nut
a thousand miles distant from here, calls
bim a traitor and a betrayer. One honora
ble exceptiou to tbe abunive articles appear
ing iu Republican papers wa3 printed in the
Philadelphia Prr.v, iu which occurs the fol
lowing judicious observation : " Senator
Cameron is simply a cool-headed statesman
I who had the courage to stand by his honest
conv etions. The fact tuat the Yew does
not agree with bim is no reason for abuse.
The gold mocoraetaliist organs have injured
their cause incalculably by just such foolish
talk as they indulge in."
Mr. Cameron gave good and unanswerable
reasons for nut favoring t lie unconditional
repeal of the Sherman bill. If wrong in
his position let newspapers that assail him
and call for his resignation point out where
in he is wrong. I bave read plenty of de
nunciations, bat have failed to see anything
in Cleveland's last letter, or in any sj-eech
delivered in the Senate, or iu any newspaper
article that convicts him of wrong doing.
The plea that the repeal of the silver law
would restore confidence and st trt up idle
mills and give the country prosperity is the
merest bosh. A leading Wall Street broker
recently said, " It is no longer clear that re
peal of the Sherman stiver law would ac
complish what had beeu eipected. It is
cow evident that its anticipated efl.vt would
have been largely sentimental, but impossi
ble to restore confidence as was thought it
might be restored some months ago."
It looks to a man up a tree that the whole
scheme is a Democratic stratagem to pat Re
publicans ia a hole. A leading New York
Democratic paper last week said : " No Din-x-rat
in the L'ni'.ed States Senate can talk
of compromise on the silver queatioa with
out recreancy to the party platform upjn
which Mr. Cleveland was nominated aad
elected." Yes, that's about the size of it,
and reveals the "nigger ia the wood pile."
Let some more Chambers of Commerce,
like tbe Pitt-.burg one engineered by wi.se
Scotts, Bradlej s and Rusrelis adopt more res
olutions denouncing Mr. Cameron ; let pa
pers go on vilifying Lim to their hearts' con
tent, and then see them all crawl iu'o holes
before six more moons shall wax and wane.
I predict they will ail be ashamed of the
course they now pursue.
Good for the Johnstowa Tribune that
speaks out in meeting thus : " Af.er all the
talk ; after all the assurances by interviewed
hypercritical Senators that tl.e Sherman re
peal hill would go through ; after ail the prod
ding dune by the Democratic newspapers
that know as much about the silver question
as a new born babe does about the dyna ties
of F-rypt, but hated to see the first Demo
cratic idea ehe in the cradle ; after all the
stuffed Prophet's attempt at coercion, it is
about st tiled that in the Senate it is compro
mise or notbine."
We shall see what Daa Voeirhces' contin
uous scssiou will come to. He is a Ii:ie3pec
imen of a statesman for Republicans to fol
low; divested of demag iguism, what is he,
anyhow ?
Keep hands off the tariff, is what the in
dustries of the country demand. Tbe great
mass of the American people care nothing
about the silver que tion : they, with man
ufacturers, are ad aid of "Free Trade," and
that's what's the matter.

Advice to Constables.
In addressing the constables at the open
ing of court last week, Judge Sadler of Cum
berland county, said . ''Yoj constables can
do nothing better thau arresting men and
young men who carry loaded pistols in their
pockets ready to whip them out oa the
slightest provocation and perhaps shoot down
peifectly innoctut people. A man naa no
constitutional or moral right to carry con
cealed deadly weapons on ail occasions ; and
I will say to you, whether or not I be criti
cised, that if you do your daty in arresting
boys and men carrying revolvers we wiil see
that no costs are imposed on you. I am in
firmed by ths oflieers of Carlisle that yoti
can walk dawn our streets oa any Saturday
evening when they are crowdid aad
meet fiy persons who have io their pockets
pistols loaded aad ready to b; pu'.ied out,
with men, women and children near who
are liable to be killed. Let us make aa eff art
to stop this practice, that paople may ride on
cars and sit on their door stepj without ex
peeing themselves to danger."
