The Confluence Prts is authority for the statement that the work on the near ly completed bridge over the Yotighio gheny river at that place is beiug harshly crfticizeL On the Fayette side ihe road leading up to the abutment is being filled up with stone, while on the Somerset county side the approach to the abut ment is lieing partially filled iu with logs.

Snow covered the ground throughout the East, providing excellent sleighing to all who enjoy the exhilarating pleasure of gliding over the roads liehind prancing steeds. Here in Somerset everything on runners was out and peals of laughter from the throats of happy young people as they dashed through the street filled the air. The festive toby" also made his annual ar pearance on Christmas day and furnish ed amusement for the crowds ou the streets. Somerset county appears to be peculiar ly unfortunate in having to bear the ex pense of criminal trials resulting from excursions of desperate men from ad joining counties who cross the line to prey upon the wealthier class of our farmers. Somerset county has leen call ed upon already to foot a bill of some Jl,3w growing out of the trial of the Rod dy boys and Richard Jackson, aud this is not more than one-half of the sum it will be out of pocket before It is through wjth these unfortunate men. The Nicely boy and the "McClellandtown Gang" cost the tax payers of Somerset county thou sands of" dollars. A law prouling the otinty from paying the cowts of criminal trials of this character is in order. D.

A soon mm a horse was hitched up be was brought in a sleigh to the ollii- of Dr. P. F. Shaffer, who found tiiat a g.ish aoout four inches iu length had been cut in his foot and that the groat toe was al most severed. The cut was an ex ceedingly painful one and will keep the victim housed for a long time. A merry party gathered Sn the large dining room of the Markletou Sanato rium on Christmas night. A few of the guests and officials connected with the place erected a Christmas tree in the centre of the room and sent out invita tions to all of the chiidreu in the neigh borhood to be present. Early in the evening a host of little children, some of them thinly clad and ignorant of the meaning of Christmas, or why the day is celebrated ail over the world, congregat ed. A few of thus preseut bad found a stick or two of candy in their stockings that morning, while others had found nothing at all, and still others had been Jiberal'y remembered by good old Santa Claus. When the electric lights in the great room had beeu turned off and the tapers on the Christmas tree were light ed, the joy of the children who bad never before se?n a Christmas tree, knew no bounds. Their bright little eyes spark let! in a way that brought genuine pleas ure to those who bad prepared the treaU M rs. Gault made a short address In which she told the story of the birth of Christ and why the anniversary of His birth is made an occasion of joy and thanksgiv ing throughout the world, after which all of the little folks were presented with aweetmeau and toys. FIRST : DEGREE VERDICT. Janti and Jolin Roddy Found Guilty cf the 51 order of Farmer David Bei key. riSDISO C7 TH2 JCKT iSEETS WITH PUBLIC AfXOSATIOH. aiCHASD JACXSOTT GC2S FSEE. H Fat Cp a Stronger Alibi ttmo his Al leged Accomplices. Verdict Greeted With Applauee. 6CE5ES I IT COTJET WHEIT THE YE2DICIS WE2E TAKER. A death -like stillness pervaded the court-room at 9 o'clock Thursday night, when the jury into whose bauds had been committed the fate of James and John Roddy, charged with the murder of Da vid Rerkey, a venerable and wealthy Paint township farmer, took their boats in the box. A scrutiny of the faces of the jurymen disclosed that all were fully im pressed with the solemn character of the business before the court, and that they were about to discharge one of the grav est duties of citizenship. Judge Eonge necker directed the sheriff to bring the prisoners into court, aud iu a few minutes they were seated at their counsels' tabid. When they were told to stand up, both faced the court, but were informed by Judge Longenecker that they must face the jury, lioth wheeled around, aud, as they did so, "Jim" Roddy nervously drew his right hand across his throat, as if to hu 1x1 ue a choking sensation, then he clasp ed his bauds behind his back and droop ed his head. John Roddy looked sternly into the faces of the jurymen, apparently uneoncei ued as to the possible fearful con sequences, to him, of their verdict. The "good men and true" also arose as their names were called by Clerk Saylor, aud when he asked : "Gentlemen of the jury, in the case of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania versus James Roddy and John Roddy, charged with murder, what say you, are they guilty or not guilty of murder in the first degree?" The res ponse, "They are guilty," came iu a low, broken chorus. The jurymen and defendants then took their seats, and as soon as they had done so, lawyer Ruppel, for the defense, asked that the jury be polled. Each juryman arose as his name was called, and tn res ponse to the inquiry of the clerk : "In the case of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl vania versus James Roddy and John Rod dy, you say you find the defendants guilty of murder iu the first degree; is this your verdict?" answered "Yes." Mr. Ruppel announced that at the prop er time he would file a motion for arrest of judgment, aud an application fora cew trial. The prisoners were then conducted baek to jail in the custody of Sheriff Hoover ami his deputies, aud Judge Ioi:gene ker discharged tho jury from further attend ance upon the c.url. The trial of Richard Jackson, the alleg ed accomplice of the Roddy boys in the murder of David Berkey, was going on when the jury sitting in the case of the Roddy boys sent word to the Court that they had agreed ujMin a verdii-t. Consid erable diplomney was displayed by the nic:nbers of the lx-ncb. in continuing to hear testimouy in the case against Jack sou for an hour afier they had received wor i from the Koddy jury, and in seud Ing the Jackson jury '.o their hotel with- I out their ha ing received tho slightest in timation that the other jury bad decided cpou a verdict. Artcr the Roddy boys had beeu return ed to jail, John stoutly protested his in-no-enee, while His brother, apparently unnerved by the unexpected verdict, re fuse! to Rsy anything. Their counsel, Messrs. Coffioth, Rup)el and Uhl, spent seine time with them in the sheriffs of fice before they retire 1 for the night. The atmosphere in and about Somerset seemed to be permeated by a feeling that tho defendants were guilty, and the an nouncement of the verdict, therefore, oc casioned little, if any, surprise. There was a general expression of regret in the siores and private homes that tho trial .k place just preceding the holidays, and that the verdict w.-j rendered on ti e night before Christmas, at the very nn ment wheu a feeling of "peace on earth, nd good will towards men" should l-il the air. The fate of the poor Roddy lioys was uppermost in the hoarte of many per sons on Christmas day, and a feeling that the ends of justice would be better sub served iu their case by a commutation of the death sentence to one of life impris onment found lodgment in the breasts of those who think their guilt was not prov ed tieyond a reasonable doubt. The aged mother, three sisters and a brother of the condemned men were among the most interested spectators ut the trial. None of them seemed to real ize the awful import of the verdii-t, and ail expressed the belief that "Jim" and John will he granted a new trial, wheu their innocence will be fully established. They returned to their home in Johns town on Christmas day fully satisfied that their hopes will lie consummated. When court convened Saturday morn ing Mr. Ruppel tiled a motion for arrest of judgment in the case f the Roddy boys, and also filed an application for a new trial for his clients. The application will be heard at a future day, the Court having made an order that counsel should file their application within ten days after the court stenographer files a transcript of the testimony iu the case. It is, ther fore, not probable that the argument on the application ill be heard before Feb ruary term of court. The niembersof the jury agreed to keep secret all that transpired during t ie twelve hours of their deliberation in the jury-room, but it has leaked out that they had bc?ii loeVed up for three hours Ufforea. ballot was Uken. On the first ballot eight of the twelt e jurors voted for a verdict of murder in the first degree, and on the sec ond ballot the vote stood nine to three for conviction. A third lallot was taken shortly before eight o'clock in the even ing, which was found to be unanimous for a verdict of murder in the first degree. REBUTTAL TESTIXOJ5T. The Herald's report of the Roddy mur der case closed last Tuesday eveuing, when the defense rested. Wednesday morning a score or more of witnesses were called by the Common wealth to impeach the testimony given by four f the iiuessos for the defeusn. The evidence adduced went to show that the impeached wilnesses had told stories prior to going ou the stand in direct con tradiction to tbose they told when nmler oath and in the presence of the Court and jury. The case closed at 11 o'clock Wednes day moruiug, when Mr. Ruppol present ed a number of poiuls, on which he Psk ed the :ourt to charge the jury. Judge Loiign-ker ruled that inasmuch as the men who caused the death ot David Ber key had gone to his home for the pur pose of cxiut-r'uing a felouy, the verdict of the jury must be eitbe-r for acquittal or guilty of murder in the first degree ; that the jury could not fiud a second degree verdict or one for manslaughter. When court convened Wednesday after noon, F.J. Kooser, Esq., began the arcu ment to the jury for the Commonwealth. He spoke for an hoar and a half, in which time he reviewed all of the evidence in the case. He was followed by W. I! . Ruppel, for the defense. Mr. Ruppel made a clean cut, logical argument from the defend ants' standpoint, and was attentively list ened to by the members of the bar and the large number of spectators who filled the court room. Gen. A. U. Coffroth, fol lowed for the defense and when he had eoucluded his argument court adjourned until ":' in the evening. At that hour Gen. W H. Koontz began summing up for the Common wealth, closing two hours later with a strong plea to the jury to pro tect the homes and firesides of the citi zens of the county from midnight rotj bers and assassin. Judge Eongunecki i delivered hischaige to the jury at the opening if court Thurs day morning. Thehnetriec'ipiud a'.siut an hour, and was devuted aluer-t entire ly to an expositiou of tho law in the case. The charge was highly iMiniiiended by counsel on both sides and by all who heard it. fir its conciseness, cloarn'sss and Impartiality. 'I he jury rdircd to their room at ! Xl a. m. While the Jury was deliberating there was a great teul of discussion j (he of'.l chs and stores alxuit town as to the nature of the verdict, Whei. the jury failed to oine into court at tho afU-riioon session it was taken as ati indication that the ver dict would bo for acquittal, and when it failed to report when court met in the evening tho wiseacres said tho verdict would be guilty. THE CASK AOA1XST JACKSON. Counsel for the Commonwealth Bld for the defendant were reluctant to go ahead with the case agaiust Richard Jackson, the alleged accomplice of the Roddy boys iu I lie IJerkey tragedy, until the ju ry in the Roddy case bad agreed usui a verdict. Counsel for tho Commonwealth kuew that it meriit a tedious rehearsal of the evidence offered against the Ibsldys, aud counsel for the defendant lelt that in event of a disagreement of the jury or a verdict oi not guilty, their client would not be placed on trial at this time. Sev eral hours were fl ittered away before tho jury previously selected was sworu and the taking of testimony was Is gun. Tho only evidence offered against Jack son that had uot lieen offered against the Roddys was tue tostimony of a witness who said that Jackson had visited his house in Paint township on the -7th of May, a week before tho Ilerkey outrage, and offered to sell witness a pair of spec tacles. All of the other evidence was practically the same as that against tho Roddys, with the exception that only four or five of tho witnesses called iden tified Jackson as one of the three men seen traveling iri tho direction of Uer key's on the fatal night of Juue 2d, whereas four or live times that number of witnesses had identified the Roddy boys as two of the men. itner points of weakness on the Common wealth's part were that no evidence was to be bad that Jackson was in the neighliorhood of the Berkey house ou the night of the rob bery ; Mrs. IJerkey did not identify him as one of the robtsrs, and the aged vic tim of the robliers' assault failed to con nect him with the robbery in his dying declaration. The defense established an alibi by a number of the witnesses who had testifi ed in behalf of tho Roddys and further fortified their position by the testimony of Win. into, who swore that he had lieen digging a well with Jackson on tho 2nd day of June, in Morreilville, when he was subpoenaed to attend court at Eiiens burg, and that before leaving f.ir Ebens burg he gave Jacks-m an order on a shop keeper named Walker, f.,r a certain amount of gxtds. Walker an I hU wife t?stiiied that Jackson had come to their store about 9 o'chs-k on tho evening in question. Another witness was called who testified that he hvl gone from Morrellville to Eliensburg with Otto. A numlier of witnesses, who hid n t testi fied in the Roddy case, swore that they hail seen Jackson in Slorre.llvillo on the night preceding and again on the morn ing following the Rerkey robbery. The evidence was cem.lctisl Chri-t-mas morning and the remainder of the day and the early part of the evening were devoted to argument of counsel Isjfore the jury. Saturday iiiirniii'i. Judge Ixiigenocker elrirged the jury, employing iiim ii tiu s.u:i langing.j he had ued in charging thJury in the Rod dy case; and at o'clock the jury re tired to find a verdict. When the court house !!! tolled at 4 o'cloi-k that aflern'sm the public knew that the jury had agreed upon a verdict, and in a fw ii.inutes thereafter the i-ourt rsiiu was packed to i:s full capacity. Four or five lauiisj, unxii us to witness taking a verdict in a capital offenso, were given seals in the enrl.e.jro rxerved for members of the bar an J court officers and ere among the most interested specta tors. When the prisoner came iutocourt in custody of the Sheriff, bis cheeks were blanched aud his step hailing. Sudden! y a tinge of criiiisou uiountoii high in his cheeks and when ho was t ld to stand up and face the jury he did so without be traying a particle of emotion. Wheu Clerk Saylor propounded the momentous question "Isthedefcndant, Richard Jack son, guilty or not guilty of murder in the first degree?" and the response, "not guilty," came quickly from the jury los. Jackson grabbed the hands of his counsel and shook them warmly. A numlter of persons within the liar eiicl.-siire con gratulated Jacksmi, w hile spectators all o.'cr tl.o room broke into applause. The applause was speedily checked by the court ollicers. Jackson turned to go to his sisters and mother, who sat weeping in one of the rear seats if ibeoourt-roou', when he was told that he was nt at liberty, but on the contrary an indict ment was still pending against him for horse stealing. Counsel for tho defend ant asked that bail be fixed and Judge Longenecker named ('). Jackson was relumed to jail where he was congratu lated by the Roddy boys and other in mates, lie said that the moment he saw the faces of the jurors in his csse he was satisfied that their verdk-t was not guilty and felt no further uneasiness. He de clared his entire inuoeence of any con nection with the IJerkey robl-ery, and said that the Roddy boys were as inno cent as he is, and that ho had seen them in Morrellvilie as late as eight o'clock on the night of the robbery. A few minutes afterwards Jackson was taken to the Prothoiiotary's olli-c, where tis mother entvrjd security for bis apr pe.iraiice at February icrm of curt, ai.d t 5:'," he look a train tor his home, ai-r-ompanied by his agl mother and sisters. It is reported that tho jury was evenly divided on the- first ballot, and .the num lier of votes in favor of acquittal ws in creased two at a time ou tne three subse quent ballots. It is not probable that the case agaiust Jackson for horse stealing will ever be brought to trial, niiico his acquittal on the charge of murder was virtually an acquittal of all the charges brought against biiu growing out of the Berkey tragedy. THE ACCfsEIl. Richard Jacksou, it the eldest of the three meu accused of Uo murder. He was born thiriy-four years ugo in Upper Yoder township, Cambria county. His father, who was a soldier iu the civil war, died several y curs ago. Jackson is mar ried and is thu father of one sun. A few years ago he lived ia Jeuuer township, where lie dug limestone, later ho dug oal at H.Mivcrsville, and sincj then he has lived in Morrellv ille. Ouo of Jack son's brothers is married to a sister of the Roddy Ikivs. John Roddy was ls.rn in 13, and his brother three yeais later, in Upper Yoder township, Cambria county, not far from where Jacksou was born. Their parents resided in Je-uuer township for a iiunitier of years, where the family is well known. The Roddys removed to Lower Yoder township, Cambria county, in lsii Since tho arrest of John and James the family have removed to Coopersdale, Cambria county. The condemned men do not seem to fully realize the enormity of tho crime and the fearful consequences the verdict of the jury means to litem. Both insist that they are innocent and declare that their innocence will be fully established when the Court bears their application for a new trial. Meanwhile the prisoners will be close ly guarded.

PITH'S JtiShOUDlHElY PURE Lawyer Boott't Turkeys. Lawyer John R. S-ott has a great penchant for the white meat of turkey and ever since tho season opened when the frost first kissed the pumpkin his coop has beeu well stocked wilh fow ls. Last Saturday a farmer delivered twenty four choice birds at his residence and Sunday morning Mr. Scott visited the coop for the purpose of inspecting bis flock, now increased to about forty in numlier. The fowls were so lively and hopped from one end of the yard to the other at such an astonishingly rapid gait that Mr. Scott concluded to open the door of the pen and count them as they came out. "There goes one," he exclaimed, "there goes another," quickly followed ; "there go three, and there they all go," he shouted. And sure enough they had all escaped from the coop. With the first breath of the free and crisp morning air the turkeys took wing, flying north, east, south and west, alighting on trees, stables, churches ami dwellings. After leisurely viewingtheir surrounding a majority of the turkeys returned to their owner's coop, evidently believing that tho holiday souson was at an end and they were safe from slaughter, ar.d all but oue of the others were easily captured. A fat old gobbler, apparently aware of the close approach of New Year's day and of his prime condition for tho roasting pan, vainly tried to escape, only to lie run down at the west end of town and returned an unwilling captive.
