Heiiibaugh, of near I'rslna, accompan
ied by her daughter, Mrs William
Coughenotir, and the hitter's live-ycar-old
son, of S.-ottdale, drove into the town
of Confluence, their horse got his feet
t ingled up in a hoop or piece of twisted
w ire which was lying in the street, and
nt once began lo kick. The little ls.y
was sitting on the floor of the buggy box,
immediately in front of X'.n ladli-s and
the horse kicked him ou the Load ci-uhIi-ing
his skull, from the effects of which
lie died Monday morning. Mrs Ileiti
lwugh was kicked ou the leg with sutli
eieiit .force to frarture the limb. The
dash-lioard of the baggy was domolished.
After the animal had kicked himself free

The Farmer' "Pipe of Peace."
Somerset county farms were never
more productive than this season, and,
now that the harvest h;is 1kh.ii nearly all
gathered in, from every side comes the
same gratifying report as to the immense
crop th:it were ganiorcd. The output of
wheat, oats and rye is the largest known
in years; h:y has not d ne as well as in
former years, but there is enough to feed
all of the stock in the county and leave
thousands of tons to 1k shipped to the
city markets. Corn and potat n-s have
advanced too lar to le injured by the ele
ments and the output of loth these crops
will le the largest ever known in the his
tory of the county. Buckwheat is abun
dant and w ill prove a profitable crop.
Apples and pears are a total failure in
some sections but in others are plenti
ful and w ill supply the local demand at
reasonable esL Iu fa.-t the Somerset
county farmer is in jsisition to sit down
and "smoke the pile of peace,"'
Viaitori at the Jail.
The county jail appears to possess a
peculiar fascination for all tourists visit
ing Somerset aiid for people from distant
parts of the county. Sheriff Hoover and his
obliging deputy, Mr. George Baker, are
kept Isjsy several hours each day eon
ducting visitors through the hostile. The
curiosity to visit the prison isnotconiined

two-thirds of the visitors lieing ladhs
Yesterday deputy Baker had a party of
seven or eight ladies and one lone gentle
man, who si r! patiently in front of thi
Jail for a half-hour Wi.it to be adinit-tc-d.
The ladies ull wore pulled sleeves
of ultra fashionable dimensions, but just
the same they exhibited the liveliest in
terest in examining the ropes with which
the Nicely lys ha I l u jerked into

ghsiiny hti-cl cage-s iu which those miser

Wiliner.ling a freight train running at a
high fpeed, Imro down upon thetn. The
passengers loeaiiie panic-stricken and
rushed for the doors Mr. Steck was
near a door and was pushed out onto the
platform. The engineer of the passen

started his train. The crowd liaek of Mr.
Steck pushed hint off and he alighted
on a paling fence, but, luckily, fell clear
over it and onto tho other track. Had
he fallen on the other side the prolKihili-

Aa Itinerant Peddler's DeatV
Patrick Gallagher, a peddler of pins
and needles and other notions expired
Monday aflernoon, just as the vehicle in
which he was lieing conveyed reached
the County Home. Gallagher reached
Continence ah nit ten days ago. He was
driving a miserable old horse in a cover
ed wagon. The whisky sold in that
place appear to have had a fascination
for Gallagher for the reason that got
drunk the first niyht he arrived in town
(ionic time during the following day he
took his horse out of the barn in which it
had been pirns! lbr the purposo of giv
ing it some water. He was drunk at the
time and either fell from the horse's back
and w-as Injured, or was kicked by tha
brute. When he was found short time
afterwards it was tielieved that Gal high
er's was only a comniou case of "drunk,"
and he was lodged iu the borough lock
up. When he aoliered up he complained
of having been injured internally and a
physician was called upon to treat him.
After treatment, and there being no
marked improvement in Gallagher's
condition, the local authorities concluded
that he had better I removed to the
County Home, when his death occurred
as stated alsive. No one seems to know
anything about the peddler or where he
came from.
DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.
A Dyatndu Zlact Explodes and Inflicts
Terrible Injurie on Two Brothers.
A depl liable accident occurred t hortlv
1-efore noon Friday, at M. Shoemaker's '
lime quarry, on the obi "Coleman farm,"
half-way Ixtwecn here and Berlin,
which may result in thi deatn of two
young men, alter the most terrible suffer
ing. Two brothers Frank and William
Baker, sous of Martin Baker, of near
Somerset were employed in removing
lime stone. A dynamite blast was being
prepared in the heading lietwcen four
and live hundred feet underground from
the mouth of the quarry. One stick of
the deadly explosive, weighing about
three-quarters of a pound, had been
driven into a hole that had been drilled
into the rock to a depth of about five feeL
A second stick of dynamite, weighing
about a quarter of a pound, and contain
ing a percussion cap to which a fuse was
attached was next placed in the hole and
when one of the men attempted to force
it bae.k until it touched the first charge,
using a metallic drill to push it, there
was an explosion. Both men were stand
ing immediately in front of tho blast and
when tho explosion took place they w ere
thrown violently back against a wall of
the quarry. Sharp pieces of stone were
buried in every direi-tion. As soon as
the noise of the explosion had died away,
Will, who had leen blinded and was
bleeding from a dozen wounds, -auscd
by flying missiles called repeatedly for
his brother. Receiving no reply he re
luctantly concluded that Frank had been
killed, and groping around in the dark
ness until he found the track leading to
the mouth of the mine, ho crept on his
hands and knees until he reached the
open air. Here he was discovered by a
fcilow-laliorcr w ho worked in an adjoin
ing pit, but who had not heard the report
of the explosion. Help was summoned
immediately, but Will refused to have
anything done for his relief until after a
search had lieen made for his brother,
whom he believed to lie dead.
Lights were procured, and a searching
party started into the quarry to look for
Frank. When the rescuers had proceed
ed about two hundred feet, they heard
groans Elevating their lamps and peer
ing ahead in the dense darkness of the
quarry they saw a living object lalsirious
ly moving toward them. Hurrying for
ward they found ixior Frank painfully
creeping on one hand and his knees
His left hand had been almost entirely
blown olf and was hanging limp and
bleeding in front of him. He had lost
the sight of one of his eyes In a former
accident, and the sound one had lieen
cut and the sight ruined in this. His
f:u-e was bruised and sciatchetl until not
a square inch of skin remained uninjur
ed; a deep gash, extending from car to
car, was cut in his head; his shirt was
torn open, revealing a nuuiler of ugly
wounds in his breast, from several of
which sharp pieces of stone were still
protruding. In this awful, crippled con
dition the miserable man was vainly at
tempting to drag himself into the open air.
The course- over which he had passed w as
marked by a trail of blood. Ho was in
an exhausted condition when the res
cuers found hiiii. As soon as possible he
was carried to the nn iith of the quarry.
w here everything that could 1 suggested
was done to allex iate the sufferings of the
brothers A wagon was secured and
thoy were rcmovod to their home, two
miles distant, when a messenger wua dis
patched to town for a physician.
Ir. P. F. Shaffer responded promptly
to the call. He found the brothers in
practically the condition above deserilcd.
I'poii examination he learned that the
little finger only of Frank's hand was
still attached to his wrist and that even
ing he amputated that iii'-iiiIkt, having
raiied upon lr. Iulher to assist in the
operation. The lids ol Frank's sound eye
had lieen severed, as clean as though they
had been cat by a sharp instrument, by a
flying piece of stone, which iniliedded
itself in his eye ball. Two pieces of stone
four or live inches long Lodged in the
floor fellow's breast, which required a
great effort on the part of the physician
to extract, so firmly were they imlicdded.
Will was totally blind, both of his eyes

A Delightful Xaaicale.
The parlor coucert given at the Hotel
Van near Saturday evening was an artis
tic triumph. The programme contained
only eight uumlicrs but each performer
was ciithusjnstically r-pplaudcd and
gra.vfully rcsjioti.led. An audience th.it
taxed the capacity of tho commodious ho
tel parlor was present and a neat stun was
realized for the beuclit of the Methodist
Church.
Miss McKinley's vocal number, a waitz
song from t he opera "Homoo and Juliet,"
was notably well rendered and was a sur
prise to many of that young lady's local
admirers who had not liefore had an op
portunity to contrast her vocalization
with her singing of a year ago. Boring
the w inter and spring Miss McKiuley has
been cultivating her art under the direc
tion of leading New York masters and
her wonderfully rich and powerful voice
has arrived at a high xiut of perfection.
The whistling solos by Miss lenuison,
of Washington, were delightfully render
ed and were a great surprise to a Somer
set audience, w ho have heretofore looked
upon young ladles who whistle in tha
light of the old nursery rhyme. But it is
impossible that "Mother Goose" could
have foreseen that w histling would ever
le cultivated to such an extent as to
make it a rare accoinplislnneiiL Miss
Denuison is an artist of exceptional abili
ty. Tho execution of Miss Grace Mussel
man's piano solo proved her to be a per
former of marked ability and exquisite
taste.
Mrs Mary I' hi Ration has lieen a
prime favorite w ith Somerset people ever
since she could lisp a lullaby, not to men
tion the esteem they have held her in
since she budded into womanhood with
a fully developed voice. Mrs Patton
sung Saturday evening in the satno pleas
ing manner that has alw ays characterized
her performances and which has won her
such an enviable reputation as a vocalist.
Mrs Charles Street and her sister Miss
Ida M usseluian gave a piano duct selec
tion from "Tannhauscr" with brilliant
effect, reflecting the exquisite art of both
performers and won prolonged applause
from the audience.
A vo-al solo, "King Sol," by Charles F.

Sold at Auction.
There was an auction ut one of the
downtown auction houses recently. A
pale, sad-faced woman, in a thin i-alioo
gown, stood in a crowd. The loud-voiced
auctioneer finally came to a lot of plain
and somewhat worn furniture. It had Im
longed to the pale woui:pi, and was lieing
sold, to Kitiisfy tho mortgage on it, says
the Detroit free VV-.
ae by one the articles were wild, the
old bureau tonne, the easy r.M-ker to an
other and bedstead to a third. Finally
the auctioneer hauled out a child's high,
chair. It was old ami rickety, and as the
auctioneer held it up everyissly laughed
everylsKly except tiie pale-faced woman.
A tiair trickled down her cheek.
The auctioneer saw it, and soniviow
lump secured to con;e lift iu f,is throat and
his gruff yoiv grew- soft. He remember
ed a IHtlo high chuir ut home and how it
had once tilled his life w ith sunshine.
It was empty now. The liahy laugh,
the two liulo hands that were once held
out to greet "papa" from that high chair
were g.no forever, lie saw the pale-fared
woman' piteous looks and knew what it
mii:it; knew that iu her eye tho rickety
high chair was more precious than if it
hal been made of gold and Ktuddod with
diamonds
Iu imagination he could sec the
little dimpled cherub which it onca held,
could see the chubby little fist grasping
the tin rattlebox and pounding the chair
full of nicks; could see the little feet
which had rublicd the paint off of the
legs; could hear the crowing and laugh
ing of glee and now the little high chair
was empty. He knew that there was an
aching void in the pale-faced woman's
heart; there was in his own.
Somehow the day may come and go.
but you never get over iL There is no
one to dress iu the morning, no one to
put to bed at night.
"Don't laugh," said the auctioneer soft
ly as somebody facetiously offered ten
cents "as many of you have empty high
chairs nt home which money would not
tempt you to part with," Then he hand
ed the clerk a bill out of his own pocket
and remarked: "Sold to the lady over
there," and as the pale-laced woman
walked out w ith the little high chair clasp
ed in her arms an,l tears streaming down,
her cheeks, the crowd stood back reaping
fully, and there w as a siispicjuus moist
ure iu the eyes of the man who had bid
ten cimtu.

FOTJHD THE LOST SHIST3.
Judge Black Fat on His Clean Orer His
Soiled Undergiraenti.
K inland White, Is-tler known as
"Kirt," has lived for over fiirty years In
the pretty little city of York, Pa., which
was also the home of the late Judge Jer
emiah S. Black. Mr. White was per
sonal friend of the judge, and they used
to make many trips to this city together
and Invariably stayed at the Astor hous.
Mr. White was at his hotel one night
recently, and got to speaking of his old
friend. Judge Black, who, he said, was
the most alwent-minded man he ever uivL
Mr. White went on :
"Whenever the judge and I arranged
to start off on a trip together Mrs Black
used to tell mo to be sure and see that
the judge paid his hotel bills. He gen
erally forgot to do so unless somebody
reminded him of iL Sometimes tho
clerks in the hotels would suggest that he
ow ed something just as ho was about to
depart, but more often they wouldn't,
and the bill would remain unpaid until
he visited the hotel again. These things
annoyed his good wife very much. When
we w ere returning after one of our trips
the judge would often say to me : 'Bless
my soul, Kirt, I don't believe I paid my
bill at that hotel. What w ill they think
of mef'
" h that's all righL I settled things'
I would reply. The judge would then
insist iiKn paying me back immediately,
and when w e got homo I could make a
clean report to his wife."
"Why, I remeiulM?r, said one of the
clerks w ho has been with the Astor House
for many years "that one day I handed
Judge Black a telegram. He took it, ami
after reading tho address. 'Judge Jere
miah S. Black,' on the envelope, he hand
ed it back to mo, remarking that it
couldn't be for him, but it must bo for
seniebody else of tho same name, as he
didn't recognize the handwriting."
"The story of the shirt, however,' put
in Mr. White, "is the best one of all, mid
M rs Black told it herself. She said that
one time the judge had to go away atone
ou a week's trip, and so she put some
things into a valise for him including
three clean white shirts When the judge
got home again she opened the valise and
was surprised to hud but one shirt iu it,
and that was a soiled one,
" 'Gracious me, judge !" she exclaimed,
'what have yoa douo with your shirt?'
"'Pin sure I don't know, my dear,' he
replied ; 'aren't they in tho valise?
"'No, they are not,' said Mrs Block,
'and they were new ones too.'
"Well, the mystery of the lost shirts
was not cleared up until tho judge went
to lied that night. It was then discovered
that he had worn the lost shirts, one over
the other. When he wanted a clean shirt
he had evidently forgotten to take th
one he was wearing off. M rs Black used
to say had the judge stave. I away any
longer and had more shirts with him, he
would undoubtedly have had them all on
when he finally gi home." .Yew York

was given a hearing in 'Squire Kore

So Honef Weep.
Do horses weep? is a question discussed
by our contemporary, the Admiralty and
Horse Guard's Gazette. It tells us that
there is well authenticated ease of a
horse weeping during tho Crimean war.
On the advance to the heights of Alma, a
battery of artillery liecame exposed to
the tire of a concealed Russian lmttery.
and in the course of a few minutes it was
nearly destroyed, men and horses killed
and wounded, guns dismounted, and i
UiiiIm broken; a solitary horse, w hich had
apparently escaped unhurt, was observe
standing with a fixed gaze upon an oIh
ject close lieside him: this turned out ti
lie his late master, quite dean.
The poor animal, 'when a tl'ioprr was
dispatched to revivor, him, wus found
w ith copious w UoWliig from his eyes;
and it was only by main force that he
luld be dragged away from the sjMit,
and his unearthly cries to get back to his
master were heartrending. Apropos of
the intense love that cavalry lvmwa hav
for music, a correspondent of the hurtle
writes that wheu the Sixth Dragoous re
cently changed their quarters a mare lie
longing to one of the troopers was taken
so 111 as to be enable to proceed on the
journey the following morning. Two
days later, anothor detachment of the
same regiment, accompanied by the
baud, arrived. The sick mare was in
loose box, but hearing the martial strains
kicked a hole through the side of her
box, and making her way through the
shop of a tradesman, took her place in
the troop before she was secured and
brought back to the stable. But the ex
citement had proved too great, a.nd the
subsequent exhaustion pruvwl fetal.

On Wednesday, August Tth, Hon. T.
Dabney Marshall, I Vuiocratic nominee for
State Senator ami a member of the State
Legislature, accompanied by H. H. Cole
man, W. J. Yoller, and R. T. Fox, all
prominent citizens of Yickstairg, arrived
In Jack-ton Mss, and proceeded to search
for R.T. Dinkins,agentleman highly con
nected in the State and a cousin of Bishop
C. B. Galloway, of Jackson, who had
circulated very sensational stories about
Marshall.
At Dink ins hoarding house it was
learned that he was in Brandon, a small
station fifteen miles east of Jackson. Early
Thursday morning Marshall and his com
panions hired a livery rig and proceeded
to Brandon, where they found Dinkins
standing ou the depot platforui waiting
lor a train.
Marshall, w ithout warning, opened fire
on Dinkins and a struggle ensued. When
it was found that Marshall was getting
the worst of tho encounter his friends
came to his assistance and sent a tusilade
of shots at Dinkins w ho was unarmed.
Dinkins fell dead, pierced by half a dozen
bullets Marshall and his companions
immediately surrendered lo the Sheriff.
Circuit Court met at Brandon Monday
last and the Grand Jury immediately
proceeded to work on the i-a.se, ami last
Wednesday brought in a true bill against
Marshal, Coleman, and Fox and dis
charged Yolter, who, it appears had
taken no part in the shooting, but was
present merely as an attorney.
The prisoners were arraigned in court
Thursday morning and by agreement
pleaded guilty of murder in the first
degree, und were sentenced to life im
prisonment in the Slate Penitentiary.
The verdict is regarded as a triumph
of law over violence and is quick justice,
even for Mississippi, there lieing an in
terval of exactly one week lift ween the
shooting and the sentence.
Indiani Say They Knit Hint or Starve.
Indian Agent Tcter makes the follow
ing repart to the Commissioner of Indian
A Hairs: "Certain Indians state they w ill
go to Jackson's Hole for the purpose of
hunting as soon as the haying season is
over, claiming they will slarvediiring the
coming w inter if they do not kill gone at
this season for winter sulcistem-e, ami
that they have a right to hunt in Jackson's
Hole. In my opinion it is alisoiutely nec
essary to keep the Indians on the reserva
tion. Even if they are justified in going
to Jackson's Hole, as they seem deter
mined to have revenge on the settlers,
they w ill go prepared for tint purpose,
and are discussing plans to that end.
"The best solution I can present is to
enter into the contract f..r the big uiteh
on the reservation as nx.ii as possible,
w hich w ill give the Indians employment
and an opportunity to earn money with
which to provide for themselves through
tho winter. The Indians must lie given
employment or increased rations, as they
cannot subsist w ithout fssl oMaiue-l from
hunting until water is put on the reserva
tion, when they w ill be practically self
supporting. Will request you to ire me
w hat I can state to Indians relative to in
creased rations or employment should
they remain on the reservation."
