DftUt of Ex-Skerlff Shafer.
tn the death of Josiah Shafer, who pass
ed from time into eternity at an earlv
! hour Saturday morning, Somerset lust
one of her most venerable citizens and
the town and county a man who f'r a
long term of years occupied a prominent
position in the public eye and was held iu
warm affection by all of our people. The
dooe?ed was in thoTTih year of his life
and for the past ten or twelve years had
i leen in delicate health. His illness in
fact can be said to date from the time.
ten years ago, when he sustained per-
inanent injuries from the kick of a horse.
' aud since when he was incapacitated
from performing phvsical labor. The
announcement of bis death was a severe
shock to the community, as it was not
known that death was imminent. The
funeral occurred at four o'clock Sunday
! afternoon, when religious services were
' conducted by Rev. Davidson, of the I.'. B.
' Church, of which denomination the do-
ceased htd lieen identified since early
' manhood. Interment was made in the
Lul heran cemetery.
Josiah Shafer was married at an early
age to Miss Eve Barrick, a lady of many
christian virtues, who throughout her

In lStiS Josiah Shafer was elected to the
office of Sheriff by the Republican vKers
of the county, and was re-elected in 1MJ.
He was a native of Allegheny township

his political power. His death will oc
casion wide spread sorrow.
Fatal Shooting Aocideat.
George, the seventeen-year-old son of
Nicholas Berkey, whose pretty home is
located just south of this place, died at 8
o'clock Monday morning from the effects
of a gun shot wound accidenlly received
while hunting.
Saturday morning young Berkey and a
companion Dorsie, the sixteen-year-old
son of Charles F. RiKiads, of Somerset
started hunting. A taut eleven o'clock
they were walking through the woods
back of John Weller's, on the Centreville
nad. Rhoads was four or five feet be
hind Berkey and was carrying his gun in
his hand when the weaioii accidcutly
exploded, and the contents entering the
calf of the latter's left leg, tore the flesh
almost from the tane. So close was the
muzzle of Rhoads' gun to lterkey's leg
that the wads and bits of clothing were
eiiiledded in the llesh and the charge of
shot crushed the flesh to a pulp. Rhoads
attempted to carry his wounded compan
ion, but was so agitated that he was un
able to assist him more than a few yards
when he left him and ran to rt'eller's and
told them of the aividctiU Mr. Weller
went to .he scene of the shooting and car
ried the wounded lad to his home while
Rhoads hastened to town for medical as
sistance. Before Dr. Kimmel arrived
Berkey removed his shoe and stocking
and when the ghastly wound was revest
ed he swooned from shock. After the
flow of blood had leen checked and the
wound dressed the injured tay was re
moved to his father's home. Suuday
Hurtling it was thought that amputation
would have to tie resorted to to save the
yHing man's life, lint upon examination
it was found that his physical condition
was too weak to withstand the operation.
Blood poisoning had already set iu. The
unfortunate victim lingered in an uncon
scious condition until death came to his
relief.
Isorsie Rhoads, who is half-crazed with
grief over the death of his friend and the
part he played in the fatal catastrophe,
says that he was carrying his gun with
both hammers drawn lack when his foot
caught iu a root of a treo and he fell for
ward to the ground. One ttarrcl of the
gun was discharged when he fell.
The funeral took place at four o'clock
Monday afternoon, when interment was
made at Mctzler's Church.
Hensonite Convention.
The Sunday s-hod convention and
church conference of Meni.oaites of Penn
sylvania, which hxs leen iu session in
Blough's church, near Davidsville, since
last Thursday, closet Saturday afternoon.
The principal business of the Sunday
school convention was the preparatory
work looking to the establishment of
Sunday schools iu conjunction with that
denomination throughout the State.
Many of the churches are without a Sun
day school. Most of the schools are in
country districts and wanting in the ad
vantages of modern education.
The Sunday school convention was at
tended by more than 2iW delegates rep
resenting every section of the State. The
church conference delegate said the
present poor house system is an imposi
tion on taxpayers, and that the proper
remedy was for each church to support
itsownssr. Every delegate signed the
resolution.
Hobert Eagle AccaseU of Sobbing tbe Hail
County Detective Frank Campbell, of
Fayette county, recently visited Jone'
Mills ami arrested Robert Englo at the
instance of Postoface Inspector D. C.
o.vcn, on the charge of robbing the
mails of a registered letter. Engle'a
father has the contract for carrying the
mail beiween Jones' Mills and Somerset
and young Engle (Kvasionally performed
his father's duty. He is charged with
stealing the registered letter referred to iu
the llKKtl.li two weeks ago as having
taen lost tatwen here and Bakersville.
He was taken to Cniontown and lodged
in jail. Saturday Us was given a hearing
tafore United States Commissioner E. II.
Reppert, when tie was remanded to jail
until Tuesday, when the case will lie tried
in the I. S. District Court, at Pittsburg.
From the testimony developed at the
hearing at Cniontowti it does not appear
that the ease against Engle is a very
strong one. He claims that he found
check for five dollar; in front of the post
olii.-eat Bakersville ami took it home and
gave it to his father. The check wa signed
by Edward Zigler and was drawn in favor
of Mrs. Stanton. Engle senior,
thinking that the check tielonged to one
of theZigler toys of this placa brxight
it to town and took it Ut the meat markf t
of ZiglerA Parson, but they failed to
identify it. The stolen registered letter
contained three one and one two dollar
hills in addition to the chock for So. The
money has not turned up. The prisoner
i-i only 10 years old and much sympathy
is felt for hi in.
la Self-Deftnae.
In Philadelphia last week Judge Ar
nold hal something to say regarding self
defense. It was in the case of a man who
had been assaulted aud in defense knock
ed down tiis assailant. In the fall the
man struck his head on the curb and died
from concussion of the brain. In charg
ing the jury Judge Arnold said: "The old
rule of law that a man who is assaulted
by another must submit to the assault
and retreat until he can retreat no furth
er, or retreat to a wall, as it was called,
has ts?eu superseded by a more sensible
r.ile, that a person who is attacked may
oppose force by force, and advance in his
own defense if he deems it necessary.
Persons are no longer under an obliga
tion to submit to beating when by de
fending themselves they may avoid
harm. They may return blow for blow,
and it is now agreed that retreat is not
obligatory. This is w ise and just. In
the present cae it appears that the de
fendant was assaulted by a drunken sai
lor, and in defending himself, the a-t
which was an assault aud battery on the
part of the sailor, and a justifiable de
fense by the defendant, resulted in the
accidental death of the sailor. As the de
fendant was not engaged in the commis
sion of a crime, he ought not to be held
for the result of an accident brought on
by the deceased." The jury acquitted
without leaving the tax.

TWO BOTS IIJUHEK.
Aetonaot Beam Fail to Xake Balloem
AioniD on Aeoonnt of the Storm,
Bagging Falli With DiiMtroui Ba
salt. The snapping of a guy ropo at the show
grounds Saturday afternoon allowed a
heavy thirty-five1 foot pole to topple over
on the heads of a crowd of 1-(M1 people
who had assemlded to witness Prof.
Samuel Beam make a balloon ascension.
A lad named Mangus from Berlin, waa
struck on the head and seriously injured,
but just how badly can not ta told, as he
was removed to bis home the same even
ing. Harry Sipe's eight-year-old aon
was also struck by the pole and had one
of his arm crippled. There was a wild
scramble to get out of the way of the fall
ing timber and the wonder is that none
of the crowd were killed.
The day was one of the most unpleasant
to be out doors ever w itnessed in these
parts. The dust aud sand that had accu
mulated on the streets and roads during
four months drought was gathered up
and driven in blinding clouds by the
high wind which prevailed from sunrise
Saturday until Sunday night. Notwith
standing the unfavorable condition of the
atmosphere I,0u0 strangers were attracted
to Somerset by the announcement in last
week's II crald that Prof. Beam would
make a balloon ascension at two o'clock
that afternoon. At the appointed hour
an immense crowd congregated on the
show grounds. Prof. Beam and bis as
sistants bad everything in ship shape ex
cept elevating the immense canvas lag
into position between two thirty-five foot
poles and inflating it with hot air. The
crowd surged around the balloon as
though all were anxious to make an as
cension with the Professor; and when an
effort was made to draw the balloon into
position the strong wind caused a guy
rope to break with the result stated
above. The daring young irronaut made
three or four attempts to get the balloon
into position and inflate it with hot air.
declaring his intention to venture an as
cent no matter how strong the wind blew,
but was prevented by the storm. The
crowd lingered ataut the show grounds
until late iu the afternoon, hoping that
the wind would subside and that the
Professor would get away, but they were
dHmed to disappointment. Prof. Beam
says that he will make an ascension here
on Saturday, Xov. 2nd. He is advertised
to make an ascension at Berlin next Sat
urday. COROBORATKH IlKAM'S STORV.
The following from the Johnstown
Tribune corotarates Prof. Beam's story
of his having been lost in a storm ad
being carried "2' miles from the point
where he made an ascension, published
in these columns last week:
"Our readers will recall a communica
tion, which appeared in these columns
some mouths ago, in regard to the sup
posed fate of an H-rial artist known in
the profession as "Prince Ieo," who,
while giving a balloon'ascension at Cel
eron, near Jamestown, X. Y., was caught
in a storm and was thought to have per
ished. The writer had seen the a'ro
naut's ascent, and, although be said the
iHtlloouist's home was near Johnstown,
he could not give his name. The letter
of Mr. George Orth, who also witnessed
the ascension and recognized thearonaut
as a Johnstown man, will also be recall
ed. The man in question has been iden
tified and located by the Somerset Hkii
alh, and he proves to le Prof. Samuel
Beam, a son of Joseph Beam, a former
resident of Jenner township.

A Hint to the "Pennjy."
The Pennsylvania Midland railroad ap
pears to have the consumption or some
other wasting disease, says the Bedford
CtizeUe. The projectors of this road have
consulted the best physicians of England
and A meriea and from present indications
have failed to find any one that was able
to furnish them with the golden specific,
and we fear they are left out in the cold to
face the storms another winter; and un
less a relief party is sent to their rescue
they are doomed to perish in a financial
biiow squall. The (it:-fe would suggest
that the Pennsylvania Railroad company
attend the patient, as we think it is ataut
time for this company to bestir itself in
this section of the country, where the
rich coal, ore aud timber fields call for a
tatter outlet, and if the P. R. R. Co.
doesn't soon give it to us some one else
will. If the P. R. R. is caught napping it
will be the first time. The New York
Central has downed it in the way of fast
trains and can land its passengers at
western cities in less time. But a glance
at the map will show that the distance
from New York city to Chicago over the
New York Central is ataut !7'j miles
while the distance over the Pennsylva
nia railroad from and to the same points
is about !I."5 miles By a new line from

j Beeord-Breaking Drought of 1895.
I The year lsvi is a record-breaker in
drought annals Somerset county haa
not suffered so much as other portions of
the state, but even here it is very dry and
from every section comes complaint of
the scarcity of water. One correspon
dent writing from the north of the county
says "the question of securing sufficient
water to supply stock has become alarm
ing, many springs and wells that hereto
fore never failed are completely exhaust
ed and if the drought continues for an
other week slock in many places will
perish from want of water."
In Western Pennsylvania the total de
ficiency in rainfall since the beginuing of
the' year has been 9.03 inches Since
April 20 there has been no coal stage in
the Monougahela river. Not a bushel of
coal has passed south since that month,
and 8,0iU miners in the river pits have
been idle almost the entire period. There
is little prospect of a coal stage in the riv
ers until the winter rise. All the boats
and targes are loaded and 20,000,0(10
bushels of coal have tieen wailing three
mouths for higher water on which to go
south. Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis
and all other river cities are beginning to
experience higher coal prices owing to
the inability of dealers to lay in stock.
Along the Monougahela river the rainfall
during Septemtar was but half an inch.
The Ohio river is so low at East Liv
erpool that the influent pipes are tare
and the supply is scarcely sufficient to
supply domestic needs of the town, and
some, of the industries are obliged to shut
down.
The follow ing from the Philadelphia
Times gives an idea of the situation in
Central and Eastern Pennsyl van is
where the drought is even worse than
west of the mountains
The long-continued dry spell, brought
ataut by an almost entire absence of rain
storms since early in Jul, ha introduc
ed a water famine throughout the state of
an unprecedented character aud extent.
Every section is directly affected and in a
number of opulous centres the situation
is of the most serious nature. This con
dition has prevailed in the coal regions
the past month and in the farming coun
try supplies are obtained miles away for
cattle and household purjsises.
The present drouth is a record-breaker.
The summer of the year IJi0 was equally
rainless and covered a wide stretch of ter
ritory, but the reserve forest area pre
vented the type of distress that exists to
day and springs and creeks were running
then that return nothing now. The riv
ers of the state are now showing the low
water mark of that year side by bide with
things never seen tafore. In tlie city of
Altoona the supply has lieen restricted to
four hours a day and to this the relief
trains that tr ansport iV'.oio gallons of
water from HoHidays'.mrg every 21 hours
must be credited as a separate item. The
Juniata valley is like a dert waste, the
farmer carting water In barrels from
points five miles away, and in Berks I-o-high,
Iancaster and Bucks counties the
situation is even more alarming. The
reservoirs of the towns are as dry as the
streams aud water has liecome an article
of sale from house to house. In Schuyl
kill, Columbia, Luzerno and Northum
berland, the coal region sections have ls
come accustomed to drought experience,
but nothing like the present one marks
the records of the past.

The recent reunion of the IU Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteers held at Mount
Pleasant, wa attended with most suc
cessful results over 30 veterans participa
ting in the pns-eeding.
The regiment has an interesting his
tory. TheYen companies with IkVI offi
cers and men which composed the regi
ment, were enlisted in June a:i 1 July,
1U, for three years It was organized
in August, and on the 1st of Septemtar
the following officers were elected:
Colonel, Robert P. Cummins of Somer
set county; lieutenant colonel, Alfred
B. McCalmont, of Venango; major,
John Bradley; adjutant, W. L. Wilson;
quartermaster, William C. Hilman;
surge m, Thonia J. K'M.dey.
The regiment was immediately sent to
the front, and remained there in active
service until Gen. Lee surrendered at
Appomattox. During the three years
tatween it first engagement at Freder
icksburg, Ya., on Doeeiiitar IT, ISiiJ, and
tba end of the war, the regiment partici
pated in twenty-four battles includiug
Chancellorsville, Thoroughfare Gup,
R ippshannock. Wilderness, Spottsylva
nii. Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Fort
S:eadinaii, Five Fork and Gettysburg.
The losses of the regiment are a fol
lows: Enrolled, 951; killed and died of
wounds " olllcers Itt men; wounded.
21 officers men; died of disease, etc.,
21 officers, M men; captured and miss
ing, 2 officers, I.VJ men; total loss, W.
This percentage of losses is greater than
any regiment in the service with the ex
ception of two. This may well ta ta
lieved when the record of the three days
at Gettysburg is read on the tablet on
that famous battlefield, how out of the
whole regiment 6'J per cent, were killed,
wounded or captured in these engage
ments alone.
Itwasonlho field of Fredericksburg,
the regiment's first fight, that 2.V), or
one third of those who went into the
fight were killed or wounded, including
the gallant Maj. Bradley. It was on the
first day of the battle of Gettysburg that
Col. Cummius was killed, and at the
roll call that night there mustered but
75 men and 3 officers of the 320 officers
and men composing the regiment whon
it went into the fight. A noteworthy
boast that Company B can make is that
their record shows not a single deserter
during their entire period of three years'
enlistment.
After the death of Col. Cummins and
the wounding of Lieut. CoL McCalmont,
at Gettysburg, the remnant of the regi
ment was commanded for a tiina by
Lieut. Elder, all his superior oiTicers be
ing killed, wounded or missing. The
old regiment was now so reduced in
numbers that a new colonel could not
ta mustered in under the regulations
but Lieut. Col. McCalmont commanded
until he resigned to become colonel of
the Two Hundred and Eighth Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, when, on Septemtar
17, 1ST4, the command devolved upon
Maj. H. N. Warren, who served as col
onel by brevet until the regiment was
muste red out May 2 !.

COL, SAKFOBD'S BBEAKDOWH.
The Fttheti End of a Keted Lecturer's
Career.
A dispatch from Chicago states that
Col. Jamea Pomeroy Sanford, traveler,
orator, writer and humorist, has just re
turned to his home -at Wheaton, 111.,
broken down in health and mind. His
breakdown is traced by some of his more
intimate friends to a strange meeting
which occurred November Hlh, 1KH.
when be was attending a reception in his
honor at Xorristown, Pa.
The guest begged him to recount some
of his personal reminiscences and he was
asked how he came to be such a world
wide rover. He said he had been mar
ried three times and "had taen in every
place on earth at least three times" and
was then prepared to cross the ocean for
at least the twentieth time. Among the
guests was Miss Anna Sanderson, from
Tioga Centre, N. IL, whoso face seemed
to attract the speaker and who was appar
ently drawn to him. She listened attent
ively to his story of marrying when a
mere tay and going to South America on
a tour and learning while there that his
young wife had died. The traveler said
hU letters to his family were never an
swered, and he bad never gone back.
"My mother was tarn in Steuben coun
ty, N. Y.," spoke up Miss Sanderson,
"and her father tare exactly the sace
name as yourself. Bit mitber never
aw him. Grandpa was killed, they said,
in South America tafore she was born."
"Itideed," remarked Col. Sanford, and
thon led the conversation to another top
ic Finally he said he wa not feeling
well, aud a few minutes later, excusing
himself, went to bis room.
Soon there wa a knock at his door and
he opened it to admit Miss Sanderson,
her face flushed with excitement.
"I have been thinking it over," the
girl said, "and I have come to tell you
that I thiuk you are my grandfather."
"And I have thought, my child, for ten
minutes that you arer my granddaught
er." Col. Sanford took her in his arms and
wept. In a chance sentence he learned
that his first wife was now dead.
By appointment Col. Sanford met his
granddaughter at Outario Centre, N. Y.,
on August 21st, last. He was then for
mally introduced to his daughter, Mrs.
Washington Sanderson, whom he had
not only never seen, but whose existence
he had never susected. The meeting
agitated him deeply. He now knows
that his first wife had lived years after he
thought ber dead, and had never move!
to reclaim her, and had re-married.
These reflections Col. Sanford's friends
say, preyed on his mind and brought
him to hi present pitiable condition.
Col. Sanford is known a "America's
greatest traveler." He has been in every
country of the world. He was descrilHid
in a Ioiidou journal as the "restless
American who looked forward with dis
may to the day when there would ta no
country left for him to explore." He was
tarn in Seneca couuty, N. Y., about fifty-
seven years ago, became a colonel in the
Civil War and was breveted brigadier
general.
Col. Sanford lectured tafore the Somer
set County Teachers' Institute on several
occasions and was one of the most enter
taining public speaker ever heard in
this place.
