Th Summer Girl, Th Crank, and The
Hooter Thers.
Base ball, which In Somerset this sum
mer has been lingering in a comatose
state was suddenly revived on Thursday,
when the Ligonier club crossed toils with
tho uewly reorganized Marooiis of this
place. When the rejmrter of the Hrralp
arrived ou the grounds at Vannear's Park
a few minutes after two o'clock, he was
surprised to fiud a crowd of five or six
huudred peoplo ou hand and thegamo
just commenced.
Among those present were many staid
old geutlemeu and several mlniatera of
the gospel who at one time had been boy
themselves. The "summer girl was third
in all her glory of June finery, looking
as pretty as only Somerset girls can, with
sparkling eyes, peachy cheeks and pear
ly teeth, and taking as much Interest in
the same as the boys themselves. The
rooter was there with tin horn and strid
ent voice to enuourage his home team and
raule its opponeuts as iar as he was able.
A big Rock wood contingent was also on
hand, "spy iug out the land" and taking
the measure of the Somerset boys for fu
ture use.
Each club had the assistance of several
non-niembew. Somerset had secured the
services as pitcher, of Oran Williams,
ofludiaua, Pa., and he proved to be a
jewel.
The game was looked on as a huge joke
by the Somerset boys, neither they nor
their friends having the remotest idea
that they could wiu, aud a bet of 25 to 1
on Ligonier wouldn't have been taken ou
Thursday morning, but at the close of the
third inning, when the score stood -I tol
in favor of the Maroons, Somerset stock
went suddenly up, and not a bet could be
had against the home club at any odds.
One of the curiosities of the gatno was a
one-armed player with the Ligonier club.
who held his own with the balance of the
nine. The Ligonier Ixiys were well
pleased with .their visit and we hope to
see them here again.
At the end of the ninth inning the scoro
stood 9 to 3 in favor of Somerset Great
interest in the game was manifested by the
large crowd in attendance Now that the
"Maroons" have shown that they are
capable of putting up a good game of ball
they should be encouraged in a sub
stantial way by the citizens of SoraerseL
Nothing goes further towards lightening
the tedium of a long summer afternoou
in a country tow n than a closely contest
ed game of base lml 1. Young Williams,
of Indiana, we are told, promises to come
here about the first of July, when he will
remain throughout the season to pitch
for the home team, and if he can secure
employment will make Somerset his
permanent home.
Firs ! Fire ! Fire !
The cry of "fire !" always so terri
fying to the people of Somerset rang out
at just about 11 o'clock, Thursday nighL
In a moment, almost, men, women and
children had rushed to the streets to see
the whole western sky lighted up by the
flames of a great conflagration. The fire
proved to be located in tho barn of Si
mon Sweitzer, alnost on the western
confines of the borough, and had acquir
ed great headway liefore it was discover
ed. The building was a large one and
tilled with the usual inllamable material
of its kind. Although the fire companies
responded promptly, by the time they ar
rived the barn was a mass of flames. A
cow and several hogs were released by
those first arriving on the scene, lmt.
notwithstanding, one of the latter was
cremated.
The work of the fire companies was
reduced to saving the adjoining proper
ty, Mr. Sweitzer's residence.his distillery,
store house, aud the barn of Mr. Coun
tryman. This was done, and in til teen
minutes after the first water was throw-
ed on the fire was under control and sur
rounding buildings safe. Our young
firemen deserve great credit for the
prompt and effective work they did, and
the people of the town are begining to
lose that fear of fire engendered by the
great holocausts Somerset has suffered
from in the pasL
Mr. Sweitzer was away from home
when the fire occurred, not returning un
til the next day. There was an insur
ance of f I'Xc) on the property, which was
valued at about i,(M).
Following closely on the heels of the
Sweitzer fire of Thursday night, and just
forty-eight hours, less fifteen minutes.
came another alarm, the flames lighting
up the sky in the same direction, and, as
they proved to be, only about a square
away from the first location of those of
two nights before. On the arrival of the
firemen and citizens on the scene, it was
found that the large slaughter house
of George Auman, one of the lest equip
ped iu the town, was a mass of flames iu
its upper portion, and no one who saw it
then dreamed that any part of the build
ing could be saved. But our firemen
went to work with a will, and in ten
minutes the lower part of the building,
with its costly machinery, was saved.
Mr. Auman's loss will will be consid
erable, and unfortunately he carried no
insurance.
At about half-past 2 o'clock on Mon
day afternoon the cry of fire was again
heard in SomerseL It was soon discov
ered that it was located in an old frame
stable ou the rear of the lot of Mrs. A. E.
Uhl, near the Lutheran cemetery. This
fire was undoubtedly of incendiary ori
gin. It had been kindled among some
straw and wood in a manger. Outside
the building was fouud a small can that
had been filled with coal oil, and still
contained a small quantity of the fluid.

a fire o-x-urs, give no orders and interfere
in no way with the men at work. There
is such a yelling and hub-bub by out

of the companies can not be heard when
they giv6 orders. Besides, there ought
to be a fire marshal to direct the work of

Last week the Maroon Base Ball Cluls
of this place, defeated one of Westmore
land couuty'a representative teams iu a
hotly contested game, and have since com
pleted arrangements with the Bedford

After that date the home team would be
pleased to go against any team in the

Aa Interesting Bella.
Over one hundred years ago a freeboot
er by the name of David Lewis, whose
exploits were as wonuerful as those
found iu the criminal romances of Dick
Turpin, the great English highwayman,
roamed over the mountains of western
Pennsylvania, robbing travelers at will.
At that early day there were no roads,
nothing better than trails. Merchandise
in small quantities was transported on
pack saddle, and gentlemen ou business
trips traveled on horselmck, carrying
their money with them, aud were tho
easy prey of the footpad, w ho simply had
to say: "Stand and deliver!"
The name of Lewis has bcen'preserved
in the history of this region, and he was
easily the leader of all hU class. On one
occasion he stopped at a little wayside
iun kept by David Moore, on the old
Pennsylvania road or trail leading to
Pittsburg, and about half a mile west of
Coxe's creek, for break fasL On this oc
casion he vas very unexsy, a large re
ward had been offered for his capture.
He had not finished his meal when he
saw persons in the distance and struck
for tho woods, leaving bis little bundle
on the bar counter of the inn, and escap
ing for the time.
Lewis was a teamster in Braddock's
unfortunate expedition toward Fort Du
quense, aud when the rout occurred fol
lowing the defeat of Braldock by the
French and Indians, he had the polo of
his wagon broken, and repaired it by
cutting down and using a hickory sap
pling. Of this sapling a tinner by trade,
one John Harbacb, made a' number of
canes, and one of these is now in pos
session of the venerable James Ijiwsoii,
of this place. Mr. Lawson says it was in
the custody of his grandfather, keeper of
the inn referred to, for fifty years, and
that he himself has had it in his possess
ion since IftH, making it over one huu
dred years old.
Mr. Lawson, from whom we got this in
formation, says further that his mother
cooked the breakfast which the celebrat
ed robber hurried away from unfinished.
Le'wis was known as a general high
wayman, and although he stole from the
rich, he was always ready to divide with
the poor and unfortunate.
Great Oaki from little Aeorni Grown,
Is a line from the trite obi verse we used
to recite in our school boy days. It has a
forcible application to those small ail
ments which we are apt to disregard until
they reach formidable proportions. A fit
of indigestion, a "slight" attack of consti
pation, it is assumed, will soon pass off,
but is very apt to get worse, and in the
meantime is neglected until the ailment
becomes chronic, and then, if not entirely
eradicated, is a constant annoyance and
menace of worse consequences, for dis
eases, recollect, beget one another. How
much wiser to resort to a course of Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters at the outset of
the malady than to temporize with it at
the start, or treat it with violeut remedies
in its maturity. Be on time with disease,
or it may "floor" you. Malarious, rheu
matic and kidney complaints, dyspepsia,
constipation, billiousness and nervous
ness are. all disorders of rapid growth,
and should be "nipped in the bud" by a
timely resort to the Bitters.
Sillsr Wood.
The follow ing account of the wedding
of M r. Harry Howard Miller and Miss
Alice Louise Wood, taken from a Bur
lington, Vt., paper, will be of interest to
readers of the Hkrali, many of whom
are personal friends of the groom, who is
a son of our fellow townsman- -Daniel S.
.Miller.
"A large number of popleassembled iu
the First Congregational church yesterday
afternoon, guests at the wedding of Mr.
Harry Howard Miller and Miss Alice
Louise Wood. The large auditorium, re
dolent with the perfume of flowers artis
tically arranged on the altar, waa well
tilled with relatives and friends of the
parties to the vows, which were adminis
tered by Rev. Edward II awes, D. D.
At 4-.:u o'clock the bridal party passed
up the centre isle in this order: Ushers,
bridesmaids, and the bride, resting on
the arm of her brother, Mr. W. II. Wood.
The groom accompanied by the ollieia
ting clergyman, passed up the side aislo
and met the bride at the altar. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the bride and
groom, followed by the attending party,
passed out ol the church to the strains of
Mendelssohn, by Prof. C. W. Davis,
who rendered Lohengrin for the entrance.
"The bride was gowned in white silk,
with pearl and lace trimmings, and car
ried white roses. The bridesmaids were
Miss Hawes aud Miss Jennie A. Wood,
sister of the bride. Miss Hawes was at
tired in pink organdie and carried, pink
carnations, and Miss Wood was similar

The ushers were Messrs. John Gibson,
Harry S. Howard, Mali L. Powell, and

immediately after the ceremony at the
residence.of the bride's mother, XI North

Take Care of the Brave Firemen.
No braver or better firemen live than
those Somerset boasts of. As a rule they
are not owuers of property, have nothing
at stake, and unpaid, expose their lives
aud health to save the property of their
neighbors. Nearly every one of them
has a suit of clothing ruined at each fire
that occurs, w bich he has to replace at
his own expense. They should lie pro
vided, at the public expense, with guiu
coats and fireman's hats at once. Why
not hold a fair to raise a fund for this
purpose? Will not the ladies take hold of
this matter and show their appreciation
of the gallant fireman?
In this connection it ought to lie said
that the building in w hich the hose car
riages are kept is badly located in a dark
alley, and in every way uufitted for the
use to which it is puL In winter it is al
most inaccessible. As we understand it,
the lot owned by the borough was intend
ed for just such purpose. Why not erect
a two-story brick building on the Main
street front, using a part of the lower
floor for the hose carriages and renting
the balance for a store room, while devot
ing the npper floor to the use of the bur
gess and council? The rent ought to pay
the interest on the investmenL With
such quarters the hose carriages would
be accessibly housed and the firemen
have decent quarters. A fire bell should
be placed on top aud a man quartered
there the year around to ring the bell
and open the doors.
A meeting of the citizens should be
held at once and a committee appointed
to confer with the council on this matter.
Former Somerset Conntian Snicidei.
Word reached here last week that
George W. Daniels, formerly a well
known citizen of Addison township,
committed suicide by shooting at Colo
rado City, Col., three months ago. He
planned to leave the world unknown,
but in destroying evidence of his identity
overlooked his name in his hat and some
writing in a little note book. He mar
ried a daughter of George Polen, who
formerly lived near Listonburg, but a
breach followed the marriage, and when
the Polen family went west the young
wife accompanied them. Daniels fol
lowed, and, it ia thought, domestic un
pleasantness finally caused him to take
bis life. Hi mother and married sister

Ferry Walker Dead.
Many of our older readers will regret
to lnarn of the deutb of Perry Walker,
which occurred on Thursday, ISth insL,
at his home in Odell, Neb. Mr. Walker

The checks for the last annual payment
by the government of the bounty on ma

the other day. A very successful man
who died in a neighboring town somo
years ago, and who could Iwrely read

of pounds of "long meat." When the

It is always a pleasurv to write about
the work of the Children's Fresh Air
Society. This lieautiful charity has now
been in operation in Baltimore City Ave

lously each year. During these five
years many neglected "little ones" have
been taken from poverty-stricken homes,
where vice abound and where a ' breath
of fresh air is an alin.wt unobtainable lux

midst of green fields to lie ministered

country to Ltke these children into thei r
homes for two weeks, where they can
have fresh air for their little lungs,
good country milk for their hungry little
bodies, new ideals of living for their

to imitate, and love and kindness to
make happy memories in lives that have
all too few bright days. The Society pre
