THE FOURTH IX
BERLIX TOWX.
A Daj of Patriotism, Koise, Oratory
and Pyrotechnics.
Tht Largtit Crowd Ever Aueicbled in the
Ancient VUlage.
Berliner have reason to be'prouduf
the success that crowned their efforts to
make the 4th of July, 15, celebration
the most successful iu the history of that
municipality. Every man, woman and
child living within a radius of ten miles
of the place was present, or the few who
remained at home were not missed from
the great crowds that surged through the
streets from early morning until late at
night. The decorations were tastily ar
ranged; if a fau It could be found with
them, it w as that they were overdone
Most towns the size of Berlin would have
been satisfied with one handsome arch
spanning each principal street, but Ber
lin had arches over every street, and on
Main street arches were placed at inter
vals of a few rods Some of the private
drations were uotably pretty aud ef
fective. In the lieigh)orhood of Somerset the
sky was overcast with rain clouds at an
early hour Saturday morning, but this
sign iticnut warning did not deter many
people from setting out for Berlin, and
lefore eight o'clock the road leading
from here to that place was lined with
vehicles of every description, llain be
gan falling about eight o'clock aud con
tinued to fall at intervals throughout the
day. Many people were dreuched to the
tkin, and hundreds of young ladies and
children who rode in uncovered wagons
and carriages presented a sorry spectacle
when they reached their destination. All
of their summer finery was damp aud
soiled. With the exception of an early
morning shower no rain fell at Berlin
before evening and although the sun
was obscured by clouds for hours at a
time the day was an ideal one for out
door sport and recreation.
The parade was a sad disapisiintinent to
the thousands who lined Main street. It
was made up of three brass bands, one
from Salisbury and two of home talent,
and a delegation from the Knights of the
Golden Eagle.
The oratory took place in the "lower
diamond" about mid-day. The princi
ple address was delivered by F. J. Kooser,
Esq., of Somerset. P. G. Nowag aud
Itev. Taylor, of Berlin, also spoke.
The event of the day and the one most
of the crowd was intent upon witnessing
was the base Istll game between Bedford
and Somerset, which liegan shortly be
fore two P. M., and resulted in a score of
6 to 2 in favor of the home team. Somerset
was very confident of winning the game
from the outstart, but when the sixth
inning closed and neither side had scored
the "nxters" for Somerset liecame un
easy, if not less demonstrative. Bedford
had the sympathy of a large portion of
the crowd and the players from that place
were lustily cheered at every point. Bed
ford was outclassed, however, and when
in the seventh inning Somerset scored.
Holderlutum went to pieces and was no
longer effective in the box. S imorset
batted him all over the field. Tue feat
ure of the game was the pitching of Wil
liams and 1'hl's work behind the bat.
Williams permitted Bedford to fill the
liases on one occasion and then struck out
three of Bedford's heaviest batters His
work has never leen excelled here. When
it is remembered that this was Uhl' a sec
ond game this season his catching must bo
regarded as of the first quality. Somerset
made a miserable fiasco out of a po ball
that should have leeu taken by the first
baseman, but Kooser was interfered with
by three or four other ambitious players
and as a result the runner was declared
safe. "Curt" Kooser gave excellent satis
faction as umpire, Bedford only making
two or three feeble kicks st his decisions
The Bedford loys are a gentlemanly set
of players and should they visit Somerset
during the season they will be hand
somely treated. The best of feeling pre
vailed throughout the game. Following
is the score :

v. ei.t to the stable of th? Mc'luadc House,
1:1 Berlin, Saturday night, to secure bis
horspand buggy, he was very much sur
priscl to find the h-rse missing, and an
animal cl.isely rcseinMing his in it-s
stead. Thinking that a mistake had been
made by the hostler and that .some young
fanner hud secured his animal and would
discover his mistake in the morning, ho
secured a horse from a friend and drove
to Somerset. Sunday morning he return
ed to Berlin to learn that his hopte had
been found in a field iu the rear of the
hotel and that bis harness had lieen cut
into strips by some miscreant. land

Flags, Fire and Fan at Uniontown.
Quite a large delegation of Somerset
people were present to witness the cele
bratiou of the ceutennial birthday of
Uniontown last Friday aud Saturday.
The committees iu charge had the ad
vantage of the exierience of Somerset
and other places on similar occasions and
profited by it to some extent. There cer
tainly was au immense crowd of people
there, but Uniontown's streets are nar
rower than ours, and besides she has no
public square as we have, so that her
highways were literally jammed with
solid, perspiring humanity. The iiiaua
agers did not repeat the mistake made
here a year ago in scattering our arches
and best decorations, but bunched them
principally on one street. The coal aud
coke arches were very fine and beautiful
ly lighted up by electricity.
As to the parade on Saturday morning,
in many respects it was not as good as
oum, particularly so as regarded the in
dustrial features. The companies of the
National Guard and the hundreds of coal
and coke workers added to the length of
the line, which was forty minutes in
passing, but otherwise our parade was
superior. The enthusiasm, as the parade
passed, was ten times as great here as
there, and when it came to pretty girls
Uniontown was not iu it. The Somerset
people were treated very haudsomely by
the hotel men and citizens generally,
aud had a very pleasant time. Rain
spoiled the fireworks and sham battle in
the evening.

Fight.
"Art" Poorbaugh, well known in Ber
lin, wilt go to bin grave with only one
ear and B. F. Logue, of the same place,
will linger in jail until September term
of court when he will lie called upon to
answer a charge of mayhem, as the out
come of a rough and tumble fight the
parties mentioned engaged in last Friday
evening.
There are always two sides to alight.
but this particular scrap seems to be
niany-ided, leastwise numerous stories
re current as to just how it came to
take place. From the ltcst information
at hand it appears that Logue, who is a
miner employed by Kimmel & Brubak
er, after laying in the usual weekly
supply ot provisions aud sending
them home !n charge of his small sou,
adjourned to one of the taverns w here be
proceeded to lay iu several drinks of
whiskey. He was talking to the land
lord when Poorbaugh, who was appar
ently under the influence of liquor, called
out from a beat in the bar room,' "you are
the man who sympathized with Finnecy
the time I had a fight with him at Gar-
ret I," Logue denied that he had aided
or aletted Mr. Finnecy in the fight re
ferred to.
"Well, you did," said Poorlaugh, "and
Pd like to have a go at you."
Iogue turned away, saying that he
didu't want to fight, especially with a
mau agaiust whom he bad no bitter feel
ings
Poorbaugh again solicited a scrap.
This time accompanying the invitation
with a reflection on Logue's family.
Logue, who is a powerfully built man,
and who enjoyed a reputation some
years ago of being handy with his fists
kept away from his assailant and finally
started home in company with a friend
from Elk Lick, w ho had come to spend
the 4th in Berlin. Poorliaugh followed
Logue and his friend outside of the bor
ough limits, all the time renewing his
challenge for a fight, At this point
Logue suddenly hauled off his coat and
vest, and advancing towards Poorbaugh
said: "Now, if you must have a light,
I'll accommodate you."
"Do you want it rough and tumble,'
shouted Poorbaugh, as they came to
gether.
Logue made a vicious lunge with his
left list and the next instant Poorbaugh
was sent sprawling on the ground with
his burly antagonist's knee ou his breast,
"You've bit my ear off," cried Poor
baugh. "Your a liar," howled Logue; "Get a
match," he called to the half-score of
men who had followed them and wit
nessed the row.
A match was struck and sure enough
Poorbaugh's right ear was missing. On
ly the bleeding lole was left. Loguo in
sisted that he had not used his teeth and
showed a swollen and inflamed left
thumb which he claimed acted as a
knile.
Poorliaugh was hustled to a doctor's
office for treatment. The physician said
that if he had the severed, member ho
could stitch it onto the injured man's
head, when it would likely heal up.
otherwise he would lie disfigured for life.
Diligeut search was made for ihe mis
sing ear, but it could not be found that
night. Some people said that IiOgue had
swallowed it, and one man went so far as
to urge that he bo given an emetic in the
hope that he might disgorge it. The ear
was found Saturday, but not uutil after
Poorliaugh's head was so badly swollen
and inflamed in the region of the wound
that his physician was unable to unite it
with the tlesh.
A warrant for Logue's arrest was got
ten out Saturday afternoon. In default
of f 1,01 HI bail he was committed to jail.
Logue was seen in the jail Monday even
ing when he said that he struck Poor
liaugh only with his fist and that bis left
thumb caught in Poorbaugh's ear and
c it it off.
Poorbaugh, it is reported, says that he
felt Logue's teeta sink into his ear.
Fine Veitmoreland County Cattle Will
HaTt to be Sacrificed.
Deputy State Veterinarian, J. Stewart
Lacock, expects to make another exami
nation of cattle in Westmoreland county
for tulierculosis this week. Dr. I .a cock
thinks the cattle in Westmoreland are
the finest specimens he has ever seen, to
all outward appearances The cattle on
the farm of William Stoner are all blood
ed Holsteins but he expects to kill eight
of them when be returns to that place.
Mr. Stoner dates the origin of tho dis
ease among his tattle to some four years
ago, when ho purchased a numlier of
cows from a drover in the northwestern
part of the State. They were fine ap
pearing cattle, but after they had leen in
his possession for some time, he noticed
that one of them was suffering from a
peculiar cough. Soon afterwards others
in the herd seemed to contract the same
cough, and several of the cattle died. At
that time tnlierculosis among cattle was
comparatively unknown, and the dis
ease was allowed to go on. until, at the
present time, hundreds of cattle in West
moreland county aro lelieved to bo af
fected. It is probable that there will have
to lie a wholesale killing of the fine stock
before the disease can Iks eradicated.

A Reunion Saggaited.
A number of middle aged gentlemen of
Somerset and vicinity have been think
ing of holding a reunion here of those
who attended the private school taught
by the venerable Professor Joseph J.
Slutzman, in Somerset, in the days before
the war. No more Interesting sympos
ium could be conceived of than the one
resulting from the bringing together of
those who sat at the feet of this size
and took in copious drafts of learning
from the fountain whose waters of wis
dom aud wit he presided over. His stu
deuts are to bo found in. nearly all the
States from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and among their numbers are some
of the most successful men in the land,
iu the professions of law, medicine, jour
nalism aud all the other leading callings
It would be worth making a trip across
the contiueut simply to revive reoollec
tious of the once celebrated "Horse Block
Society." And just hero it would be well
enough to explaiu: When the Professor
was in his prime as a teacher, buggies
aud carriages were only the property of
the richer class of people; railroads bad
not reached this region, aud our mothers
and grandmothers made their trips to
and Irom town on horseback. This ne
cessitated the use of what was called a
horse block, generally 111 ado from the
section of a tree, about three feet high
aud two or three leet in diameter, in
which several steps were sawed, so that
ladies could mount aud dismount their
horses without assistance. One of these
blocks in some manner found its way in
to the Professor's school-room and was
used as the depository for a pitcher oi
drinking water. Hence when the liter
ary society of the school was organized,
some wag dubbed it the Horse Block
Society, and the Horse Block Society it
was ever afterward.
If the gray-heads aud bald-heads who
were the Professor's students can be got
together those that survive it will be
an interesting study to try to recall the
names by which hisstudeuts were known
on the school roll. Not one was enrolled
by either his given or surname, but each
was given a nick name which he brought
with him to the school or one selected
by the Professor himself or one of the
wits of the number, supposed to describe
bis pet sou or some of his idiosyncracies,
Professor Stutzuian would call off tho
names of this roll as seriously as though
the students had never known any other.
We hope this reunion will materialize
into a fact. If so, it will bring many
here who will be welcomed by their old
school-mates, as will as our citizens at
large. J. B. T.
The Wheat Crop of Oar County.
Editor Hkrai.d.
From the nature of things there is
some danger of farmers getting into too
much of a hurry to secure their crops
Owing to the very wet month of June it is
a question whether, with tho best of care,
the wheat will make a very good quality
of flour. The experience of the writer,
who, by the way, liegan milling over
forty years ago, has lieeu, that a dry June
always gives the best milling wheat.
The bran will lie thinner, the flour whit
er, and much easier baked into good
bread; hence the advantage in using a
little care in securing the crop. Have it
well ripened before cutting, and well
cured in the shock, to avoid all danger of
heating' and mow-burning. This will
counteract, to a largo extent, tho ill ef
fects of the past wet weather, which is
liable to make the flour what is called
runny, and being hard to bake into a
light and good bread. We ofteu hear old
people say they used to gel better flour
and bread under the old system than we
have now. If this is so, it must have
been in the wheat, aud iu the different
care liestowed on it then, for I know that
it would be simply impossible to take
the machinery used forty years ago
and make anything like the flour that
is used at present; and I think we have
let;er millers, aud why not better bakers
than we had theu. We have all had a
chance to learn from our ancestors. But
iu this fast age of machinery and rail
roading, wo often times let our impa
tience get ahead of our belter judgment,,
and in doing so we are the losers in the
end.

It is somewhat remarkable that the
Presidential campaign this year will be
the first on record without a single sig
nificant State election to give an ad
vance indication of the way in which the
genral conflict is likely to go. There
will be many Slate elections hut
under present circumstances they will
shed no light, as the result in them will
be a foregone conclusion. For instance.
Alabama votes in August, Maine and
Vermont, in September, and Florida and
Georgia in Octolier. But this is rather a
comfortable situation. Our politics were
considerably purified by doing away
with the old-time Octols?r States. We
would not have them back if we could.
This year no one is caring about indica
tions. McKinley will lie elected as sure

Snake on a ilailroad Train.
Mr. Joseph Parsons is confined to his
homo in Johnstown with nervous pros
tration, tho result of a peculiar experi
ence last Wednesday while en route to
Johnstown from Harrisburg.
He was a-leep in the smoking car of a
Pennsylvania Railroad train when some
one threw a handkerchief in his face and
yelled "Snake !" The action and the
word caused him to give a sudden start,
aud on looking down be was horrified to
see at his feet a monster snake wriggling
about. Mr. Parsons lost no time in get
ting on the top of the back of the next
seat and a half dozeu other meu in the
car followed suit.
Some one asked It there was a good
stout cane in the car, when a farmer arose
in the rear aud said : "Here, don't hurt
that snake; it's mine." He went for
ward, and, doubling the reptile up much
the satno as if it were a strap, stuffed it
into a pasteboard bandbox that had been
setting on the floor of the car between the
farmer's feet, and which had beeu over
turned by the motion of the train, thus
liberating the snake.
The snake is of a yellowish tinge, fully
as thick as a man's wrist, and about five
feet long. The farmer explained that it
was a New Jersey pine snake and the
constant plaything of his children, being
as "nice and tame as a pet dog."
The excitement made Mr. Parsons
deathly sick, and on reaching home he
was compelled to take his bed, where he
has since remained.

JUDGE LOHGXHECKEB TRIES AIT IK.
TEBESTIH3 CASE.
A Sam Built One Hundred Years Ago Set
tles Ownership of Land.
A very interesting suit has just been
decided in the Court of Common Pleas of
Huntingdon county.
About two years ago a Clearfield coun
ty surveyor, Thomas W. Moore, applied
at the Lund Ollice in Harrisburg for a
warrant upon a tract of land in Carlion
township, claiming that the land was va
cant. The warrant bcinjr issued, ths
llockhill Iron pud Coal Company discov
ered that the tract wa one ot their mjst
valued pieces of eoal laud, worth f to.inm.
They, therefore, filed a caveat pritcstiiig
against Moore's claim, aud at the hearing
Secretary Stewart decided that the con
troversy was too complicated for him or
his otfice, and referred it to the courts of
Huntingdon county for settlement.
Upou the trial of the case, which occu
pied six days of court, Moore claimed
that the land called for in the old warrant
of lTsii, on which the company based
their title, was not located on the tract in
dispute at all, but somewhere else in the
township.
The line trees having nearly all disap
peared, the company would have had
some trouble establishing their title,
had it not been that their old warrant of
178(1 called for a beaver dam in Great
Trough Creek and that the company bad
taken the precaution to send Professor
Wilcox, of Philadelphia, an expert on
beavers and their habits aud two sur
veyors down to search for the old dam.
The professor and his assistants dug
down into the bottom of the stream at
the point where legend fixed its location.
After taking out a couple of feet of wash
aud gravel, which had accumulated iu
the bed of the creek within the last cen
tury, they were rewarded by finding the
old dam made by the beavers during or
prior to the Revolutionary War. The
cribbing sticks of the dam were found
buried side by side in regular order and
the marks of the bea ers teeth were
plainly visible in the wood. When the
sticks came in contact with the air they
crumbled away to such an extent that it
was with difficulty any were preserved
and brought into court.
These relics from the beaver dam, with
Professor Wilcox's testimony, turned the
tide in favor of the Bock Hill Company,
and the jury had little trouble in agree
ing upon a verdict in their favor. Judge
Loiigenecker, of Bedford, presided, Judgo
Bailey having been once concerned in
the case.
