the forward cars and there was a terrible
collision.
Peter Cover, the firemen, was at work

Constables U be Ee-Elected.
An act of the last Legislature, hich
is of interest to Constables, seems to
have l-een overlooked during the bustle
at the cle of the session, and yesterday,
when it was found in the State reiiorts
by Attorney H. M. Scott, its provisions
caused surprise among ward officers. It
provides that on the third Tuesday of
February, 1M, and trieiintally there
after, the electors of every township and
borough and, where the boroughs are
divided into wards, of every ward, shall
vote for and clc-t a properly-qualified
ierson for Constable in each of the said
districts and a properly-qualified person
for High Coustable in each of the said
lioroughs, aud the persons so elected shall
serve for three years.
The Constables all over the State w ere
elected for three years last February.
Previous legislation had done away w ith
the High Constables. Now the Con
stables will, apparently, have to run
again for their ollices next February.
For Better Boads.
The legislature at its last session enact
ed a road law which has also been signed
by the governor and is therefore now the
law of the state.
The new law provides that whenever
the board of county commissioners, or a
majority of them, shall, by resolution,
determine to make any public road now
in existence, a county road, or relocate,
straighten, open or widen tho same, the
matter shall then l .submitted to the
grand jury, and if approved by that body,
aud the court of quarter sessions, such
road shall then be a county road, and the
cost of making and maintaining the same
shall le paid out of the rouuty treasury,
as well as all damages sustained by own
ers of the land over which such road
shall be constructed, and the county com
missioners are authorized to levy a tax
not exceeding two mills on the dollar on
all the real and ersoiial property in the
county to defray tho cost of constructing
such roads.
The act further provides that all work
for making and maintaining country roads
shall be performed by contract to be
given to tho lowest responsible bidder,
after due notice given by publication in
at least two newspaers published iu the
county.
Speedy Justice.
Judge J. W. F. White, of Common
Pleas Court No. 2, Allegheny county, has
recently introdin-ed an innovation in
criminal procedure, the legality of which
has been challenged by some of tho Al
legheny lawyers. He has decided that it
is not necessary that a bill of indictment
shall lie returned as true by tho Grand
Jury ls?fore a prisoner can enter a plea of
guilty, thus avoiding the preliminary
investigation of the case by that body,
greatly expediting criminal business and
saving costs. The new rule already
sensibly reduced court expenses in Al
legheny by dispensing with two panels of
jurors, and it is expected that the county
w ill le the gainer to the extent of JoOiiO
wheu the jury fees at September and Ie
cemlwr terms are footed up. There will
also be a reduction in prison expenses,
inasmuch as prisoners unable to procure
liail w ill not be roufiiiid a long time
awaiting the action of the grand jury, but
can be sentenced at once and serve their
term in whole or in part before the (J rand
Jury investigation could take place under
the old rule of procedure. In our rural
counties where terms of court are in
frequent, a prisoner who has no friends to
bail him out may be kept in jail for
several months before ho lias an op
portunity to plead guilty.
Judge White holds that tho right to
have a "true" bill of indictment retu rued
by a Grand jury is one which the prisoner
may waive, and when he has signed
such a waiver on the bill prepared by the
District Attorney, and has pleaded guilty,
he may be lawfully sentenced.

The Remains oi Somerset's Foremost Soldier
Disinterred.
Last Wednesday Mrs. IL P. Cummins
had the remains of her huslwnd the gal
lant Colonel Cummins removed from
their resting place in the old portion of
the Lutheran Cemetery and interred in a
lot recently purchased by her in the new
addition to that burial ground. For a
grost many years it was custonnry to in
ter bodies in the Lutheran cemetery at
almost any convenient spot without re
gard to where the remains of tho surviv
ing members of families should be laid to
rest, w hen tbey bto are culled away. Mrs.
Cummins desires when she has been re
moved by death to be laid by the side of
her loved and honored husband.
Col. Cummins died from wounds re
ceived at Gettysburg on the second day
of that historic liattle and when his re
mains were brought here for burial his
wife and children were prevented by
natural causes from looking upon bis
face. When the body was disinterred
Wednesday, the casket in which it had
reposed for more than thirty years, was
found to lie in excellent condition. The lid
was removed, when it was seen that the
body had been wrapped in two blankets
the first made of gum and the second a
regulation army blanket, and had lieen
carefully packed in charcoal. Mrs Cum
mins who was present at the disinter
ment, had no trouble in identifying the
laxly as that of her hero husliand by the
teeth, which had lieen set in a gold plate,
and immediately banished the suspicion
that had lingered for many years that a
rsissible mistake had lieen made when
the body was shipped home.
Beal Honest Batter.
A member of the Illinois legislature
has introduced a bill to regulate the sale
of butter in that state, which has some
good features. This bill forbids tho sale
of rew orked butter for fresh butter, and
provides that each package of such butter
offered shall lie plainly branded "Re
worked and recolored butter." It Is the
practice in cities to take rancid and un
salable butter, and rework it and treat it
with chemicals which hide or destroy the
rancid taste and odor, and sell it for fresh
butter. This is a fraud as much as it is to
sell oleomargarine for butter, and there
is no valid objection to such a law.
The consumer is entitled to what bo
buys, and to him a lot of grease butter
which hits lieen bought tor two or three
cenLs a pound and made over by being
manipulated by those with more knowl
edge than honesty, is a most reprehensi
ble practice, and it is to be hoped that a
law of this kind will lie enacted in more
than one state,
AH forms of adulteration or manipula
tion by w hich the food of tho people is
sold for something else than just w hat it
is should be regulated by law in such a
manner as to give the purchaser an op
portunity to know just what he is getting.

a heartrending experience and I often ex

My father. I. Harhaugh, handed me
some r-ts of a somewhat traditional
character, w hi-h doubtless are true and
are part of early pioneer times of Somer
set county. Any statements by him
should be considered authentic. He is
past 70 years of age, with a retentive
memory of events in his boyhood days
and the traditions of early times which
have escaped the historian's pen.
He has read with intense interest the

THE FIRST MILITARY COMFAXT OF HOM
ERS KT.
The first military company ofSoiners-t
was the Somerset Ri lies, commanded by
Captain James Wilson; and as near as
can lie reckoned was organized about the
year I sol Their uniforms consistml of
soft hats with buck-tail plumes black
hunting shirts orange-colored panta
loons and black boots. Ieonard Har
baugh. Sr., was a member of this com
pany many years
The Turkeyfoot Artillery was organiz
ed by Captain John Hanna on the same
day the Hanna-MeClinUs-k fight occur
red, remaining in existence for some
years; John IL King and George Prinkey
each served a term as captain.
In 17'.) emigration set in from the coun
ties of York and Lancaster, whence came
the Weimers Prittses and Casper Har
haugh, with five sons and one daughter;
the latter, Barbara, was sutisequently
united in marriage with Frederick Wei-
mor. These families settled between
Somerset and New Ccntreville. Mr.
Harlstugh being a carpenter, most of his
sons followed the same trade. David, the
youngest son, became noted as a machin
ist, having built and operated the first
wool carding machine in Somerset
county, two miles north of L'rsina. He
was six feet four inches tall. He moved
to Ohio, and died in 170.
Christian Cramer, another pioneer, was
a prominent citizen of Somerset county
and owned a large farm north of Xew
Centreville. If Somerset county had no
physician fir surgeon in those early times
(Herman Husliand excepted,) Mr. Cram
er was a good substitute. He could skill

An important question which the State

beam raised by the Direa-tors of East
Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland
County. Teachers holding permanent
certificates granted prior to the Act of
Assembly adding physiology and hygiene
to the regular course of study in the Pub
lic Schools have, of course, no mark for
the branch, an I in the case mentioned the
Board has compelled the applicants to
pass an examination before the County
Superintendent in this branch. Per

referred to are valid in every rcspe-L

half-sisters the daughters of the same
father, occurred 170 years apart. The
grandfather of the British Minister,
Charles James Fox, Sir Stephen Fox,
married in PWI, and had a daughter liorn
to him in ItiVi, who died in the course of

children, who grew up and uiarrie 1, b it
all of them died before their father, and.

his largo fortune to fall int the h in is of

was born in lT-T. She reached the age of

Drying an Umbrella.
During the frequent use of umbrellas In
the spring showers wo should keep in
mind the oft-repeat ed caution concerning
care in drying them. They w ill last much
longer if they are always placed, w hen
weL with the handle downward to dry.
The moisture then falls from the edge of
the frame and the fabric dries uniformly.
When it stands handle upward, which is
commonly the case, the top of the um
brella holds the moisture and not only
takes a long time to dry, Mil it soon
injures the silk or other fabrics used for
the cover, and rusts the steels. This is
the cause of this part of the umbrella
wearing out before any other part. Um
brella cases are also responsible for the
rapid wear of tho silk. The constant
friction causes the tiny hoi1 that appear
so provokingly. When not in use leave
the umbrella loose.
Twelve Thousand Million Fspers.
The annual aggregate circulation of the
papers of the world is calculated to be
12,ou0,ui J,(W copies. To grasp an idea of
this magnitude, we may state that it
would cover no few er than 1,) square
miles of surface; that it is printed on
7S1.2.V) tons of paper, and further, that if
the number 12,0ui,wu,ijut represented, in
stead of copies, seconds, it would take
over 333 years for them to elapse. In lieu
of this arrangement, we might press and
pile them vertically upward till, gradual
ly reaching our highest mountains, top
ping all these and even the highest Alps,
the pile would reach the magnificent al
titude of 41W or in round numbers, 5n0

spends five minutes reading his paper in

Mammoth Freight Wagons.
The largest freight wagons in the world
are now, it is asserted, made in San Leau
dro, Cal., for stejui freighting in connec
tion with traitioii engines, the capacity of
those wagons Iwing sixteen tons each,
and with sufficient wheel surface to sus
tain that amouut without inj.iry to the
roads. The dimensions and details show
the size of axles to be t inches in diame
ter, front wheels 4 feet 10 inches high and
16 inches width of tire, rear wheels 6 feet
high and tires Ki inches wide; length of
bed 19 feet, width 4) feet, and i feet
high. These are made w holly of iron
and steel, except the bed, which is of
wood. The frout w heels track somewhat
wider than the rear ones, due to the fiu-t
that the continual hauling over the road,
and the wagons always running in the
same tni'-ks, naturally cut down the road
into ruts to a certain ext'-nt, rendering it
uneven. To overcome this the engine
w heels are l3i inches w ide and the front
wheels of the wagons so designed that
the tire tracks will lap one-half the width
of the engine wheels on the inside. .V.
