Considerable interest wai aroused in Lincoln township Friday morning when it was learned that Frank Murray, a young farm hand bad deserted his w ife and two" children, and eloped with Lizzie, Hersh, a young woman of un savory reputation, who has been tempor arily redding in that neighborhood. G tssip has been buy with tho names of the principal actors in ths case for sever al weeks, but no one ever snspected that they contemplated an elopement. Mur-' ray came to Somerset Wednesday after noon and purchased a suit of clothes on credit from Knepper A Gikw', promising to pay for the garments in a short time. That was the last seen of him bere.

Efmocrati Aetivt Tor Kooeer in Order to Cancel Political Obligations. Elated, inflated, intoxicated with de light over having carried a majority of the votes at the Into Republican primary election, and thus having secured the Congressional confeioes from this county, a few of the political friends of Mr. F. J. K noser through their personal organ nuke a vicious attack upon the friends of F. W. Biesecker and esiecially upon the family of the editor of the IIkr u.o. The 11 kkalo last week evinced a dis position to let Mr. Kooser and his pro fessed friends enjoy tholr boom to their full capacity, but in the interests of true Republicanism and for the sake of the party it now thinks lest to puncture the bubble before it suffers collapse by reason of its own dilation. Mr. Kooser is uot the first candidate to secure a majority of tho votes cast at a Republican primary election in the coun ty, but so far as our knowledge goes be is the first candidate to secure a majority where so many members of the Demo cratic party were permitted to vote and exercise their influence.

It will lie noticed that in the townships of Black and Lincoln, the vote cast for KiHtser and Biesecker was greater than that polled at the last Presidential elec tion for the Republican, Iiemocratic, Pro hibition and . People's party candidates combined, w hile in other districts such as Jenner, Somerset, Stonycreek, Stoyes town, etc., tho vote cast for Kooser and Biesecker is aim 1st as great as that poll ed at the last Presidential election for the respective candidates of the four parties named. Nor is this to be wondered at since it is an open secret that Seneral A. H. Cof froth, and dozens of other leading niem liersofthe Democratic party were untir ing in their ellbrts to biiug about the nomination of Kooser. Republicans from every district In the county bear tentimo ny that Democrats were unusually active in the interest of Mr. Kooser, and the total vote palled bears- conclusive evi dence that from NX) to 12) members of the Demiicratic party voted at the Repub lican primary election. On the other hand it can be said that the Democrats who gave Mr. Biesecker their moral sup port can be counted ou the fingers of two hands. The reason for all this requires no seek ing. Mr. Biesecker and the Republicans who supported him ha e always and con sistently made aggressive and uncom promising battle against the common foe iKitnocracy. They have never ask ed quarter and they have never given any. How is it with the professed friends of Mr. KooserT They voluntarily lea the Republican party and worked and voted iu the interests of a Democratic candidate for Governor. When Mr. Kooser suffer ed defeat for the nomination for Congress on a former occasion these professed friends labored to defeat his successful competitor in the district conference, and subsequently joined hands with the Dem ocrats, iu a fruitless eirort to accomplish his overthrow in November. At a later day Mr. Kooser received the endorse ment of the county for Judge w ithout op tMisiiion aud received the earnest support ol the entire party up until the night be fore the election, when he voluntarily withdrew from the ticket, against the ad vice of his professed friends who wished to see a DeiuK;rat elevated to the beuch. The most recent recourse of these de lectable gentlemen and professed friends of M r. Kooser to Democratic influences is laid bare in the last issue of their per sonal organ in the shape or an untruthful and slanderous extract culled from the columns of a Democratic journal, in which an effort is made to convey the im pression that Mr. Biesecker'a candidacy was in the interests of one Joseph E. Thropp, of Bedford county. Mr. Bieseck er ami his friends care nothing for this vile insinuation and are loath to believe that Mr. Kooser countenanced it, but in the interest of truth they desire to state that he or none of his friends ever made an agreement of this or auy other charac ter with Mr. Thropp or any one repre senting him. Can Mr. Kooser and his professed friends say the same in regard to his be ing a candidate iu the interests of Mr. Hicks, the present representative from this district? Will his conferees be thrown t Hicks after making a sham battle for the nomination of KooserT Time and the district ouforence will de velop this? Mr. Biesecker and his friends are not attempting to inspire hostility against Mr..Kooser aud wi'l give him cheerful and steadfast support, but, "Let the truth prevail though the heavens fall," an( li)ay ho lie speedily delivered from bis professed fool friends. Frightfal Accident. A frightful accident occurred alioulfour o'clock Saturday afternoon at the home of Norman Shaffer, w bo lives on the farm of Samuel Trent, two miles east of here. Mr. Shatrer, w ho is altout twenty three years of ago and is employed as a miner in the Listie mines, was attempting to dry a lot of rock powder before the kitch en fire, when his wife picked up a few grains of the wet puwder aud proceeded to throw it on top of he stove. Oliver Shaffer, a neighbor, who happened to be present at the time, called to her not do it, but Isjfore she could return the pow der to the tin basin from which she bad taken it, a grain or two fell from her baud onto the stove and ignited. Instantly a bright flame shot up to ber band and eotnmuiiieated with the powder in the basin. The burning powder was thrown all over the upper part of the bodies of the husband and wife and both were hor ribly burned about tho shoulders and face. Tho dwelling was fired by the burning powder and the occupants were compelled to fl? from it, Oliver Shaffer rescuing tho infant child of the unfortu nate couple. The building with all of its contents was burned to the ground. Dr. P. F. Shatter was called upon to render professional services, and says that the ui) fortunate victims will recover. .

At Tie wad by the Frets of the DUtriot. During the recent primary contest it was alleged that Mr. Kooser was not a candidate for Congress with the expecta tion of procuring the district nomination but was running in the interests of the prese.it memler, Mr. Hicks. The follow ing extracts from Republican papers of the Congressional district, would indicate that 'this impression .was not without foundation and largely prevailed in the other counties of the district. Somerset county's independent repub licans seem to have turned out in force on Saturday..! ltwua Tribune. The news from Somerset connty is to the effect that Kooser has 4-arried the county for congress against Biesecker, Edward Scull's son-in-law, by from 1,0() to 1.500 majority. It see'ms to lie conceded that the result Is a tiecided victory for Representative Hicks. .1- I jtuui Tribune KH0CZED OUT IK SOMERSET C3CHIY. The Bieiecler-Thropp Combine Snowed Under at the Primary Election. The Republicans of Somerset county held their primary election for the desig nation or candidates for the county offices on Saturday last. It was the most hotly contested primary election held in Som erset county for many years. The princi pal hitch was on the Congressional issue. After the withdrawal of Mr. Jordan, of this county, from the contest, the Mont gomery county candidate from near Everett, in the person or Mr. Joseph E. Thropp, the soldier's best friend, the liberal philanthropist and publia lietie faetor heof tho bob-tailed team and big red plumes and liveried coachman sjioken of by the It-.-li'-tnl !t:ctt'- as having honored the ancient Isiroub with a Kilitical visit one dty last trwlt (see article printed elsewhere) invaded Somerset counly and entered into a com bination with the Scull wing of the Re publican party in that county against Mr. Hicks. We have no means of knowing just how much "boodle" he was requirtjd to put up, or did put up, if any. The Hicks forces were marshalled by F. J. Kooser, Est., who put up an animat ed and aggressive fight against the. Mont gomery county man. The result was that the Biesecker-Thropp combine was over whelmingly defeated at the primary election on Saturd.iy, Mr. Kooser carry ing the county by from 1.3 U to l.SX) majority over F. W. Biesecker, the Thropp representatflre. In view of this significant defeat from the "Frosty Sons of Thuiider," we suggest to the Mont gomery county caudidate that he had better save his credit by withdrawing from the campaign before the primary election in this county on the 11th instant. He will certainly "get it iu the neck"' in this'county also. 'In fact, we advise him to drop politics altogether and attend to his furnace, his company stores and other philanthropic iuterests.-Ki-frpff I'epHblictn. Fool Friend. Senator Chandler, a reputed friend of Reed and an advocate of his nomination for President by the St. Louis Conven tion, has, by his injudicious utterances and actions, done more that vu detri mental to his nomination than could all his enemies and all his rivals combined. The Somerset .V.'an-I trd for this week, with ghoulish glee, gloats over the de feat of Biesecker as an aspirant for the Somerset Congressional Conferees, at tempting to prove that it was a defeat for Thropp, and, inforentially, advantageous to Hicks in Somerset county, aud there fore a "boost" for him in Bedford, where he is contesting agiint Thropp for the Conferees from that county. Mr. Koosor is certainly not in sympa the with the utterance of his preteude,d organ, for he can not h and be the hon est, level-headed man he is. If he was runuing in Somerset county against Tbropp, aud in the interest of Hicks and not for himself, then ho was deceiving the honest Republicans of Somerset county. If he was running for himself and desires the Congressional nomina tion, he could not think it favorable to hischancesth-.it Hicks should get Bed ford county in addition to Blair, which he has, and thus have half the Conferees of the Conference. And if Thropp should carry Bedford county and thus have three Conferees to three for each of the other candidates. It would certainly not benefit Mr. Kooser's chances to have thus unnecessarily antagonized Mr. Thropp, as the S!anilird inferentially says he did. Fool friends are much more injurious than open avowed enemies, politically, socially, and in business affairs. Juhns (oirt Tribune. Scott Wai'ia af the Death. The effort made at the recent meeting of Republican Return Judges to howl down Lawyer John R. Scott, a duly ac credited member, while addressing his fellow members, failed most signally.

A dispatch from Chamberslturg, Pa., says: A strange rase has just come to light iu this county that may result seriously if all facts as now stated can lie fully proven. On March IS Thomaa Clenden ning died at the home of his widowed mother, at Richmond Furnace, a small place in the North Mountain, from what seemed to be a peculiar pnase of typhoid fever. He had returned home from Somerset County but a few days before, having walked the entire distance. He was quite ill uKn his return and immed iately took to his lied. - His legs were badly swollen and he had intense pain and high fever, which increased until death. The probable cause of death now crop out, which for some reason hud not been told before by his mother, not even to the attending physician. When Clendenning came home he told his mother that he had been with a party of wood-choppers in Somerset Couuty, between or near Lambertsville and Mos- toller. In the party were men from Fort Lriudon. Oue day the crowd, or some of I bom, got drunk, and in their rough sport they caught Clendenning, tied ropes around his ankles, aud drawing the ropes over the limb of a tree, pulled him from the ground. Suspended thus head downward his drunken companions left him, and some passers-by cut him down. He was very sick from his invert ed position, and the blood running to his head gave him most excruciating pain. When the phase of the case became known, this greatest indignation was aroused in the neighborhood and the mother was urged to institute suit against the men implicated. Oue of the neigh bors visited District Attorney Light to day aud that official is now engaged in investigating the case. Coroner Suesserott has received no in formation on the subject, but if the state ment to tho District Attorney is fouud to be true he will have the body exhumed and an autopsy performed. The alleged crime having been committed in Somer set County, the officials here are acting cautiously, but no effort w ill be spared to ascertain the facts iu the case. The persons from Fort Loudon w ho are said to I mi implicated claim to know nothing about the alleged crime. Saturday a hi halu reporter lcarued that the story printed above is substanti ally correct, Clc udeuuing was employed as a wood chopper by Edward Mostoller., of Mos toller Station. He was a member of w hat was locally known as the "Khoarbacu Uang." the reputed leader of which was a young man by that name from Frank lin county. The gang w as composed of a lot of boisterous young woodsmen, all of whom were more or less addicted to strong drink. One evening early in March, the "Bhoarbach Uang" had a lot of whisky iu their rude hut, and iu the drunken orgie which followed it was decided to hang young Clendenning, who had fallen asleep on his bunk, up by the heels. A rope was produced, oue end of which was tied around the victim's legs while the other was thrown over a beam eight feet above, lie was hauled up un til his head and shoulders rested on the lunik, when the rope was secured and he was left hanging iu this inverted posi tion for four hours, while his companions went to the store at Lambertsville, two miles distant. The story goes that Clendenniug was found in this condition by a fellow labor er and released. Next uiorning he was unable to work, but did not complain of feeling any injurious effects from having been hung up by the heels. His con dition did not improve and in the course of a few days he returned p his home in Franklin county. After Clendenning left for home a ru mor was started that his sickness resulted from the cruel treatment administered by his companions, and the members of the "Rhoarbach gang" soon thereafter fled from the rountry. Several of tho parties implicated in the affair talked guardedly about it iu Sorber's store at Ittubertsville. The District Attorney of Franklin county has been in communication with District-Attorney Colborn and it is likely that an effort will be made to bring about the arrest of the members of the gang, which it is believed has lieen already located.

Attorney General McCormick has giv eu the department of agriculture an opinion on the act passed by the last leg islature to encourage the use of wide tires upon wagons on the public highways. The opinion is in answer to a question from Secretary Edge as to whether a farmer residing near a large city, w ho has placed wide tires upon all his farm wagons except a covered wagon which he uses for hauling market products to the city market, can claim the reduction, of road tax under the law so Joii(j as (lis, one wugou has narrow t'rp. The attorney general nays the eviden purpose of this legislation was to prevent, as far as possible, the use of narrow tires and wagons upon which heavy loads were carried and to encourage the use of wide tires to the end that the roads should le injured as little as possible. He is of the opinion, however, that a farmer who uses a draft wagon carrying 2,000 pounds or more, has them equipped with four-inch tires and uses no wagon with a narrower tire for the .purpose of carrying 2,000 pounds or more, brings himself within the provisionof this act and is entitled to the rebate of one-fourth of the assessed highway tax. If a farmer has a covered wagon which ho uses for hauling market products to the city markets, presumably with a tire narrower than four inches, loads that wagon with 2,000 pounds or more, Gener al McCormick holds, he is not eulitled to the rebate of the tax, even although all his other wagons are equipped with the tires of the required widths. The four inch tire must be used on all wagons of the person claiming the rebate that have carried 2,000 pounds or more. Spring Kermal.

Dear Sir: The borough of Hoovers ville, in this couuty, was Incorporated within the last school year, and on Feb ruary 18, lsi-s elected a full Board of School Directors to take charge of the school interest of the liorough on tho first Moudayof June next. Thequestion arises whether the members of the Hooversville School Board will lie legally entitled to vote at the Triennial Convention of Di rectors which meets on the ath of May, Isjifi, to elett a County Superintendent of Schools.

The election of a county Superintend ent in May for the etiMiing term of three years is a duty enjoined by law upon the school directors or the county.

The payment of such a building is also provided for. The supervisors are authorized, if nec essary, to borrow money at not more than 6 per cent interet, and issue bonds therefor.

Attorney General McCormick gave the Department of Agriculture an opinion last week on the aclpascd by the last legislature to encourage the use of wide tires npon wagons on the public high ways. The opinion is iu answer to a question from Secretary Edge, as to whether a farmer residing near a large city, who has placed wide tires upon all his farm wagons, except a covered wagon, w hich he uses for hauling market pro ducts to the city market, can claim the reduction or road tax under the law so long as his mie wagon has narrow tires. The Attorney General says the evident purpose or this legislation was to prevent, as far as possible, the use of narrow tires and wagons npou which heavy loads were carried aud to encourage the use of wide tires, to tho end that the roads should be injured as little as ptissibla. He is of the opinion, however, that a farmer who uses draught wagons carrying 2,000 pounds or more, has them equipped with four-inch tires, and uses no wagon with a narrow tire for the purpose of carrying 2,000 pounds or more, brings himself within the province of this a.-t and is entitled to the rebate trf one-fourth of the as sessed highway tax. If a farmer uses a covered wagon which ho uses for hauling market products to the city market, pre sumably with a tire narrower than, four inches, loads that wagon with 2,0 0 pounds or more. General MeCornick holds he is not entitled to the rebate of the tax, even allowing all h,is other wagons are equipped will) the tires of the regulation widths.
