L is one of the cutest toys ever brought to Somerset- Philip Krauft met with a violent death at his home in Sammit township, firt miles east of Rack wood, on the 4 b inst. The deceased and several other men were en gaged at ctttting don a tree when a small g ist of snow casie up. Mr. Kraufi sought shelter from the en aw under a tree close by, but. had hardly gotten under its spreaiing branches when the tree at which they had been tutting toppled over acd one of the heavy limbs striking him on the heal crush ed him to the ground. His skull was fract ured and his breast crushed ix He was re moved to his heme and two physicians from Rtckwood were sommotibd to care far him. The patient lingered far several hours after the arrival of the physicians when he ex pired. He was about fifty years of age and leaves a large family. About four o'clock Monday afternoon white Dr. H. 9. KimmeJ was driving a spir ited team of horses up the Woy bill, just one mile east of town on the Bedford pike, the kir.g boll of his buggy brrke and the Dr. was precipitated forward into the road. He struck on hisface splitting his upper lip, bad ,7 lacerating bis nose and spraining bis neck. Tte Dr. wasdaa1 by the force cf the fall and some little time claimed before be realized what had happened. He made his way back to Josieb V.'oy 's house, where another vehi cle was secured and be was bi ought home. John Fox went after the Dr's horse and found them in Andrew Woy's barnyard, where they had stopped running, a half mile from the scene of the accidect- The Dr's mishap happened at a most in opportune tima when he is more than usu ally busy wi'.h his Urge practice, and when he is only recovering from an attack of grippa. What must have proved a very disastrous fire was averted by tb timely discovery of flames in tbe ofS of the Somerset Dairy Company at half-past five o'clock Monday evening. Robert Winters, the Dairy Com pany's clerk, who was in charge of tbe office daring the absence of Mr. Elward Love in Johnstown, bad lefi the oflje for the pur pose of delivering rqssaage at the Court Hot.se. Returning in a few minutta he locked the doors and went to tbe railro'd elation, panng bis absence persona on the opposite s4e of the street in the Commercial Hotel db covered flames in the Dairy Company s 03k and raised an alarm. Tna rear do; of tbe oSos was forced open and tbe flames were extinguished before they had (rained much headway. Tbe fire originated in th waste paper basket. How it originated DO one appears to know. Tit malting on lb flaor was partially burned and one of the writing desks was badvy scorched and char red. Tbe loss ia only trifling, but bad lb flames goo undiscovered a few minutes longer a serious conflagration would bar ensued. . " BIG BLAZE AT SPR'JCETOWN, "Joe" Spechfs Store and Grist Miil Wiped Out. Eetwrra 9 and 10 o'clock M.cda; night the attention of the people cn the street here was sttrac'td by a bright glow in tbe northern skies. It was evident that a tierce conflagration was raging somewhere in tbe direction of Stoyestown, and many thought that village was suffering another scourging at the hands of the Are fiend. It was not until Tuesday morning thst it was learned tbat the large store and flouring mill belonging to " Joe" Specht, at Spruce town, had been wiped out of exUtence. The postoff.ee Kantner on the opposite side of the road from the store, was also con sumed, as was the large stable adjoining the store. The fire originated in the mow of the sta ble and Lad gained a g-icd start before it was discovered. It burned eavageiy and re flated all efforts put forth by the brave men who struggled to subJue it. All the buildings belooging to Mr. Specht were huddied tloae together and in a few miuutes the Camcs had communicated to the store and mill buildings. The beat be came intolerab'e as the flames leaped higher and higher and tbe brave little band of neighbors who bad been struggling to con quer the fire were forced to abandon their efforts. Then it was that they directed their attention to saving the dwelling bouse on the opposite side of the road, only fifty feet distant. Several times the flames leaped across the road and ignited this building but as ci'ten they were subdued. The postotUce building, standing close by the duelling house, and iu which " Billy" Suder cancels stamps for Uncle Sam, took fire bd J wss burueJ to the ground. It is reported that all of the mail matter was saved. Mr. Specht carried a stock of gooJa in his store variously estimated as being worth from 7.0U0 to SIJ.WJO. A lot of goods were carried from the burning building and thrown into the road, only to be trampled oa and ruined by the men who were en deavoring to conquer the flames. She grist mid had only recently been sup plied w ith the new roller process machinery fur making fiour and was one of the best flouring miiis in the north of the county. From J,00 to ,". "J bushels of wheat and a lot of other grain and flour were stored in it. All was burned. Tbe tire was discovered shortly before 9 o'clock and before Mr. Specht had retired for the night. He at once raised an alarm, when tbe few people living at Sprucetown hurried to the scene and did everything in their power to save the buildings. The origin of the fire is shrouded in mys tery. It is hardly possible tbat it could have been of incendiary origin, owing to its loca tion when discovered and the hoir at which it occurred. Some of the people who were at Sprucetown Tuesday morning incline to tbe opinion that the fire resulted from a lighted cigar caselessly thrown among the bay. Mr. Specht's total low will probably reach t Jij.it Ri. It is known that be carried a small amount of insurance, but exact! how much we have been unable to learn at this time. It is said, however, that the insurance will not cover one half of tbe loss. INSTITUTE LECTURE COURSE. A3 predicted in these columns two weeks a,ro, the rush for tickets for the Teachers' Institute lecture Course, in the Opera House next week, Las been unprecedented. The chart for the fa'e of seats was opened to the public at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and while a large number of seats were rapidly dispeHl of, many of the best seats still re main to be -sold. A hue and cry has annually been raised about the icsuilicient accommodations pro vide! for persons desiring to attend the In stitute Lecture Course, but they have always been unfounded. We believe the time has not yet been when ait of the seats in the Op era House have been solj for any one per formance. The course of entertain meuts secured for this ear's session of tbe Institute is acknowledged on all sides to be the bestev- er provided. This is a strong statement. when it is remembered tbat many of the tuost prominent platform crators in the country Lave visited Somt-rsrt, but the en tertainments will bear us out. e The Augusta (Ca.) ChrvtiJe says t To hear Dr. Hedley's lectures is to hear music on tbe wings of words ; to see pictures dain ty and grand ; to smell the odor of fl owers ; to tread the realms, now of laughter, now of tears, aud agaia of s icg ; to witness tragedy and comedy ; aud above all to think of right things, aad to be lifted to the moun tain tips of the loftiest ideal of life and character."' Those of our readers who heard Dr. Hed ley deliver his lecture, "The Sunny Side of Life," before the Institute several years ago can subscribe to the above. The lecturer is lamentably near-sighted, in fact we have been told that be cannot see the faces of his audience, but we bave yet to bear a public speaker who can better hold tbe attention of his bearers. Hi latest lecture, " Heroes and Heroism," to be delivered here Monday night, bristles with good points, and will doubtless sustain his former reputation. a All of our readers who can do so should attend Tuesday night's entertainmsut, whan ex Senator Ingalls will occupy the platform. Tbe United States baa produced no more popular orator than the ea-Suaa'.or during the past several decide). When a member of ice Senate an intimation thst he was to peak on any public or pilitical question was sufficient incentive to fill tbe galleries of tbe Senate chamber to overflowing with tbe leading people of Washington and of the country. He is a past-master in debate and has perhaps dealt more stinging blows to bis opponents iban any man of bis time. Mr. lagalls' subi-cr, " Problems of Oar Sec ond Century," is pregnant with interest and grand treat is in store for all those who avail themselves of the opportunity of bear ing him. Wednesday evening Dr. Levin Irving Handy will lecture on " Patrick Henry : Or ator and Statesman." Of Dr. Handy, ex Secretary of State Bayard says t " You. are one thoroughly competent to comprehend and illustrate th geniu of ' the forest-burn Demosthenes.' " Presided Moffat, of Washington Jeffer son Oullege, says, "'Patrick Henry ' is the finest lecture in the sphere of historical bi ography I have ever beard." State Superintendent, Schae.Tr says " Pat rick Henry" is a gem of a lectur, while ei-Superintndent Waller pronounces it "one of the moat delightfully entertaining lo which I ever listened." Dr. Handy filled a larger camber of insti tute engagement last year in Pennsylvania than any other lecturer. A fitting frvxU of the course a feature in troduced by Supt. Berkey several sessions xri, of having at least one musical enter tainment will be supplied by'tbe " Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin aud Guitar Club," an Organization that stands at the head of re fined i niertainments in its line. Tbe Ideals bave delighted audiences in all of tbe large cities of the country, and have been re ea gaged three and foqr times. This is tbe eighth easoa of the Club, essry ir'n sr of which is an artist of acknowledged merit. The Club's repertoire embrace what naiy be properly termed gea iine musical surprises, which cannot be rendered properly by any other organisation. Tbe many eoeomiomi of the press before ua bear out the statement tbat the concerts given by this Clqb art of the most novel, artistic acd pleasing charac ter. - To th Toachora.

Ross Cooper, yonngast son tf B. Frank Cooper, who reutly removed from this place to Pittsburgh, is the first native of Somerset county to contest for pugilistic honors in the prize ring. The story of tbe "mill'' is told in the Pitts burgh Sunday Difpalck a follows ; There was quite a rattling prize fiht along Perrysville road last evening. All the police t uthorilies were cleverly dodged aud a quiet little party of 30 saw a good contest The principals were Ross Cooper, of Som erset county, and Jack Beam, of Bradford. They fought at catch weight, and the stakes were $150 a side. Cooper is t! feet 1 inch tall aud weighed 147 pounds yesterday. Beam is about 5 feel 9 inches and weighed 157 pounds. Four ounce gloves were used aud Beam was knocked senseless in the seventh round. The first round was a teniae one. Beam got under Cooper's guard and baltoaxd that tall young man terribly. Cooper fell to his knees and it was thought that another round would end him. Cooper was well seconded aud in the sec ond round he used new tactics. He kept away from bis man and when Beam used bis rushes Cooper coolly reached out in Corbett style and (topped him. In this way Cooper soon fouud the measure of his man and repeatedly gave him staggering blows on the cheek aud neck with his left. The round was in favor of Cooper. The third round was entirely Gaper's. He kept Beam at arm's length and complete ly outfought him. At tbe end of the fourth round Beam was almost knocked out. Had the rules been strictly enforced he would bave been counted out as be failed to re spond to the call of time. Cooper simply battered Beam all over the ring in the fifth and sixth rounds. At the beginning of the seventh round tbe Somer set youth caught the Bradford lad clean on tbe point with a terrific left bander knock ing him senseleHj. He lay for several min utes an J Cooper was declared ths winner. The latter injured his wrist badly by the knock out blow. ! Death cfMrs.'.Val J. Wilier. i .
