Tammany Methods Dcn't Go in Somerset County. F. W. Blesecker R-lected Chair man of the Republican Coun ty Committee. If results count for anything, then Messrs. J. A. Berkey, 8. IT. Shober and the Utter s man Friday E. H. Werner,---etc.. have in deiibly slumped upon Iheir craninms the fact that "the tarly bird doesn't always catch the worm." Reiving upon the former as a " brilliant and aggressive leader," the above coterie set to work some time ogo to wreck the Repub lican party orgauiziliou in this county. They simply represented the enemies of par ty orgaui.itiiin who have been seeking to gaiu control for years past, and the f'uht they made was nothing more or less than an attempt lo revive the old independ ent ruovemcut, which has happily died out in nearly every voiing district in the county, excepting the B iroiigu of Somerset; and right here it might be well to remark that the vot ers of Somerset "s-t down" on Hie movement with crushing tiled. The tactics resorted to by this " vigorous leader" and bis small foilowingof "vigorous" satellites were the most shameful ever intro duced Into Pennsylvania pjlitics. They sa vor strongly of the tactic resorted to by the Tauiuianyiles of Xew York, and poiU b!y are an adaptation of thosa enforced by " Boss" Cr.iker. I ore than a year ago Mr. Bjrkey set to work to elect himself Chairman of the Ra- publican County Committee. The grossest and uiost contemptible m:3 re n.seiittioil was resorted to to bring about bis ele tion, but the voters of 8)ui-rset county believe in fair play and are n it yet prepared lo see their excellent organiatiun banded over to thoe who have been seeking to destroy it.

In Somerset township Samuel Weudel was elected Comaiilteeiuan at the primary last June. Mr. Wtndel was a candidate in bis district f-r tax collector at the Republican primary held in February.

Huns Hlmsalf In a uranary. When (ieonre D.-idv. a retctel and wealthy faimerof Addison towus'uip, failed to appear at his home at the regular dinner hour last Wednesday, his wife went to ttc barn lo look for him. Aftera short scare!: she found him in the granary suspend: from a rope that bad bien made fast to one of thepoMs. He hid been dead fur severa hours when found. Mrs. Dndy suuimone-l help as soon as possible, when the body was cut down and removed to the bouse. The suicide bad gone abaul the work o self deslruclion with great deliberation, but made a bungling j jb of it after all. He was i-.t -n alive abiut eight o'clock il the morning. Shortly af,er that hour be went to the barn and unplatted a rope that bad h.n lined on a hav fork, and with a strand of the r. pe in bis hand made bis wiy to tb granary. Tin. iratTT is constructed on the same principle as are a nmj irity of the building nsed for similar purpose in this county Twelve posts compose the frame while ran me of hoards, surmounted by lattic work, complete the walls. The granarie are usually divided by a narrow bail, the walls of which are made of board three to four feet high. Dridy entered the building andstlicted I near the centre, and to the top of it b made fast the strand of roie. The olber n.l nf the rone was secured around bis neck allowing about three feet slack. When all of the arrangement were completed be threw bis legs across one of the ba.I wall: and fell backward. D--ath resulted from strangulation. The dead man's bands were linUinir fait to the rop; when be was found and it would apiar that sufficient tim elapsed after be took the fatal p'.unga and hofi.r him strength bad fled for bim to have saved bimelf bad he not fully decided on (telf-rWruction. The sharp board of the wall cut a dWp gash into the flesh his legs, and the legs were so stiff and rigid that they could not be straightened. The only reason assigned for the suicide is that Dridy bad recently met with the loss of a small sum of money and stood in ter ror of loosing more through the embarrass ment of a neighbor. Last winter he suffer ed an attack of grippe and it i not im possible that his mind has since been affect ed and that he resolved up ia self-detitruction. He was reputed t j be one of the best to do farmer in the south of the caanty. The suicide was about sixty-fire years of age and bad been married twice. He is survived by bis wife and seven children.

While this was going on S. t". ShoVr, among others, was urging voters to cast Iheir ballots at the poll which bad been opened by Weudel in the election bouse (a haif hour before the time set by the ruies for opening them ) It is alleged that they st.eceedid in getting twenty five voleia to east Iheir ballots at Wendd'a poll before Winters and his clerks had opened Ihe regu lnr ikjII. Aooul nine o clock in the morn inir the i ieslion was raised as to whether or not Wendel had resigned the oifi.-e of Com mitteeman, and wneti the resignation was produced and he acknowledged the signature to be in bis band writing, the voters turned from bim in a body and went to the regular poll under the canvass and cast their votes Some of the voters declared that they bad been misled into voting at Wendel'a private poll, and fcating that some legal coniplica tion might arise declined to vole at the reg ularpoll. To show the desperation of the Berkey adherents and their great desire to t-ecure the vote of the Somerset township committeeman for bim for County Chair man, they went to one of the township an pervisont Mr. Kimmel and asked bim to notify Committeeman Winters that be was blockading the public highway and thai be should nmove bis voting booth or suffer the penalty. Members of the County Com mittee promptly olfered to enter into bond for any damage that might result and the poll remained open until the regular hour f.r closinn. 7 o'clock. The result of the election in Somerset township, was that oil voters cait their b illots at the regular el c tion poll while only 17 voted at the poll conducted in Mr. Bjrkey private interest. The Barkeyites abandooel the C-ld early in the action, bat few Voters voting at Wen- del's poll after 11 o'clock.
