SAD DEATH OF '
A Y01LG GIRL
Sadis Beal Dies ia aa Allrghtny Kopital
Under Dutretiiag CiroomuaoJ.
HER PARENTS OVERCOME WITH
GRIEF.
Eept Her Secret Almost to the
End.
HAXE OF THE PHYSICIAN HOT XK0W5.
Thursday morning a dispatch waa re
ceived here from Pittsburg saying that
an unknown young woman had died
from the effects of a criminal operation
in the Allegheny General Hospital and
that she waa believed to be a resident of
Somerset.
A second dispatch said that the young
woman's name was Beal and that she had
left a letter giving the name of her lover.
Word came from Meyersdale that Miss
Sadie Beal, daughter of A. O. Beal, of
Sand Patch, had died at the Allegheny
General Hospital that morning from the
effects of a surgical operation for the re
moval of a chronic disorder, and that the
story telegraphed here waa discredited
by all who knew the girl. A. O. Beal
weut to Pittsburg on the morning train
for the purpose of briuging the body of
his dead child homo. A subsequent dis
patch confirmed the first reports and sta
ted that warrants had been issued for the
arrest of two alleged Somerset county
physicians and the young man who is al
leged to have been the cause of the girl's
death.
County Detective Robinson, of Alle
gheny county, visited Meyersdale the
same duy and arrested James Shannon,
aged 20, a B. A O. fireman, and took him
to Pittsburg to await the verdict of the
Coronor's jury. An inquest was held on
Friday afternoon when Shannou was re
leased, there being no evidence on whieh
to hold him.
The following story of tho tragedy is
culled from the columns of Pittsburg
dailv papers.
"The dead body of Sadie Beal, a beau
tiful country girl, was taken by her sor
rowing father to her once happy home
among the mountains of Somerset coun
ty last evening. Her young life, imbit
tered and ruined, went out a little after
uiid-iiighl in tho Allegheny General Hs
pital. She had been in the hospital about
a week, seemiugly recovering physically,
but in mental agony and sorrow. Siie
died keeping secret the name of tho c:o
she had unwisely loxeo.
"What's the use?" she said wh 11
pleaded with to tell the sad story. "It
would do no good. The harm is done. I
wilt suffer ahou. There Mould be no
good in ruining another's life by telling
my story." And so she died. She gave
every evidence of a brokeu heart.
The girl did not reveal the name of the
rthvsieian u ho hail flunmiiitleif tha tit:il-
1
j practice until a few Lours liefore her
death. Then she told one of the hospital
surgeons the name of a Somerset county
j man and the place as a hotel at Somerset.
Sue pti.nl tins man, she said, NiO, and that
his name was Merriman or Mcrrimac,
The Hospital physicians are notsure
alnjut the name.
Sadie Beal went to the Allegheny Gen
eral Hospital lVccmls-r -at. She alighted
from a closed carriage and asked to have
an interview with the bead nurse. The
physicians say she appeared to be in an
excited frame of mind. She confided to
the head nurse her condition and depos
ited money for special treatment. The
girl's condition was not considered seri
ous at first, but in the course of a few
days it became apparent that she needed
extra attention.
When she became aware that death was
approaching she asked for a pen and ink
and wrote two letters. In these epistles
is explained all the story.
The hospital authorities sent a message
to her father, A. O. Beal, at Sand Patch,
shortly after the death of the daughter.
The father arrived at the hospital about
4 o'clock, and it was then that he received
the first intimation of the real cause of
his daughter's death. Dr. Brown, who
broke the sad news to him, said that M r.
Beal nearly fainted when he learned the
mysterious circumstances connected with
the death. His grief was so affecting that
no effort was made to question bim con
cerning the sad affair. He volunteered
the information, however, that she came
to the hospital with the consent of the
family, they believing that she was ill
from some chronic complaint that requir
ed an operatiou. They received letters
fmui her to the effect that she was im
proving, and her case was never regard
ed as serious. For this reason none of
the family visited the hospital to see her.
The girl wrote two letters before her
death, intending to mail thern. One was
to her mother, the other to her alleged
Itetrayer at Meyersdale. These letters
were found in her trunk and were ex
ceedingly pathetic epistles. They were
written in a schollarly style, with only
one word misspelled and the grammar
and puu tuatiou correct.
BROK KN I'UOMISKS.
The substance of the letter addressed to
Meyersdale was as follows:
" In spite of all my coaxing, pleading
and prayers yon have arssinipiishetl my
ruin. My death will toiiow and it will !e
direotly attributed y.iii, and you wiil
oe i"l(l responsible. Before yen finally
succeeded, what vas it jimi promised in- ?
You premised tiit'l you would slay with
io inmngn thick .cd t'.iii. You havo
im-rfy failed io re!e"n your promt- .
Wnen you receive this o tter I will -e
cold in death. God may forgive you. but
I cann't find it in my heart to do so. I
loved you with 'l "my heart and soul;
yon took advantage of it and accomplisii
ed my ruiri."
The lines stating that her lietrayer
would Iks 5: eld responsible were under
scored. Both letters were writu u alsuit Decem
bsr 30 or January 2, but there is 110 mark
to designate where she wrote them. In
the letter to her mother she gave direc
tions for her funeral, of which the follow
ing is the sulstanco :
When yon receive this letter, mother,
I will be cold in death. I did not want to
disgrace the family. Mother, caution sis
ter Lydia to beware of ever giving away
to any man. Caution my brothers never
to be the ruiu of soy girl, and let my sad
eliding be a warning to all of them.
I want to be buried in the white dress
which lies in ;uy trunk, nearly finished,
as u will not take much work to complete
it. and p--o a black ribbon about my
throat. Give one of my rings to sister
Lydia. and place the other on my hand,
as' I lieiieve the donor gave it with a good
heart. I want to be laid on my side, with
my right hand resting under hit bead, as
if I was asleep. Let the choir sire
Nearer, My God, to Thee,' and hymn
from the hymnal. Ask Bi-hop Lint and
our Lutheran minister to take charge of
the services and to pray for me. As the
pail bearers lower my coffin into the
grave let the choir sing, 'Hark from the
Tomb the Doleful Souud.' "
THE LOVi.'KS' LBTTERS.
A Commercial Gazette reporter saw
Distrh-t-Attorney John C. Haymaker at
his home on South Negley avenue Thurs
day night. As to the story of Miss Seal's
death, Mr. Haymaker said be could give
no information beyond that submitted to
him by the coroner, and what is contain
ed in letters placed in his custody. These
letters Mr. Haymaker, at this time bad
not read, but he read them in tho pres
ence of the reporter. In all there were
eleven letters, one from the girl's mother,
one from ber father, neither of which
have a bearing on the tragic ending of
their daughter's life. The other nine let
ters were dated Meyersdale, and were
written at intervals from November 11
until December 27, the date of the last
one. The signature to moat of them was
"J. S" although the majority were sign
ed "Your friend James," Despite the
unloverlike tenor of the letters they are
most significant, and show an under
standing between the writer and Misa
Beal, not to be expected in ordinary
friendship. The writer is not given to
gnsh and addressed the girl as "dear
friend."
In three of the letters he asked her to
meet him. Pittsburg, ConuellsviUe and
MciCeesport being named as places where
bhe shall keep the engagement. In none
of his letters does it appear that any of
these engagements were kept.
A letter of especial Interest is 0110 in
which he says he will send her "the mon
ey," and then the writer says : "I do not
ask you to do this thing and only send
you the money, as you m.-ist it shall be
dona." But beyond snylng he will fur
nish tho money, liq otrvrs 11. advice or
suggestion indenting how tho resolution
taken ly the young wotmm may Ixi n
coiieidered with relief to her reelings.
Then is 110 admission or rufereneo to any
responsibility on tho part of the writer
for the girl's condition.
Sadie Real, w ho had leen employed in
the general store of Wm. Apple Jt Co., at
Meyersdale, left homo about two mouths
ago fora visit with her sister Mrs, J. W.
Madore at Scott Haven, on the B. & O.
For several years she had been subject to
pains in her side and had lieen under
treatment ut home for them. About a
week ago she left her sister's, saying that
she was going to the hospital to have an
operatiou performed which would not be
of a serious character. She remained on
tho train until sho reached Mckleesport,
where the station agent says she benight a
ticket for Somerset.
Another story is to the cff-t that the
unfortunate girl went to Pittsburg, where
she was met at the btation by an un
known physician, who was waiting her
arrival, and who held a handkerchief to
his face, as per previous arrangement, in
order that she might know him. She ac
companied the doctor to a hotel where
she staid until the next day, when she
went to tho hospital.
CASK TVUXKB OVER TO SOJhlfcflSET
Al'TflORITlKS.
District Attorney Haymaker decided
that tho Allegheny county authorities
bad no jurisdiction iu the crime which re
sulted in the death of Miss Beal, and has
turned over all of the papers to District
Attorney Col born. Mr. Col burn has re
ceived letters from Mr. Haymaker and
Corouor McDowell, of Allegheny county,
tendering him ail of the assilani-e in
their iK)wer.
There is no physician in Somerset coun
ty by tho 'name of Merriman or Merri
uiae, and the Somerset hotel registers do
not contain the names of such men on
the dates mentioned. The identity of the
doctor, who caused the young woman's
death, will probably remain a mystery.
MLss Beal bore an excellent reputation
and tho foul breath of suspicion never
tarnished her name. I'nusitaHy accom
plished for a young lady of her limited
opportunities, she was modest and retir
ing and a general favorite in the commu
nity. Her heart-broken parents have the
sympathy 01' a wide circle of friends iu
their terrible liereavement.

I tolled in a white throud, with Marie
ribbon at her throat and wnKt, as he had
requested in her farewell letter to her
mother, Sadie Beal, the unfortunate girl
who died in the Allegheny General Hos
pital last week, the victim of misplaced
affection, was buried Sunday from the
home in Sand Patch. Sho had been a
general favorite throughout the commu
nity aud the people cnoin for many miles
to look upon her as she lay at peace, and
show their sympathy for tho bereaved
parents. The services were hel l at the
Dunkard church, and not half .f the as
semMed throng could gain admittance.
Clustered aVmt tho churchyard were
nearly l'K) vehicles, and in point of at
tendance it wat the most notable funeral
ever held in the place. The church is in
the country, alsiut three miles from Sand
Patch, and the graveyard adjoins.
The services were simple, yet affecting.
The dead girl's favorito hymns, which
she had asked to be sung by the choir.
were solemnly chanted, and, as the mel
ody and inspired sentiment of "Nearer
My God to Thee'' throbbed in the quiet
rural church, women sobissl ami few
were unaffected. The minister preached
a plain sermon, saving it was useless to
preach to the dead, aid it was the living
whom he wished to addm s. particularly
the young men, w ho tailed to properly re
spect the virtue and inmvneeof woman
hood, their ruthlessness bringing sorrow,
shame and death of the ictim.
The Issly was lowered in the grave
shortly afternoon, and tile people linger
ed long alsmt the lit'.'o graveyard, dis
cussing the ende.trii.g attributes of the
dead girl, no harsh thought r word ap

A. O. Beal, accompanied by his son-in-law,
Mr. Madore, and a brother-in-law,
came to Somerset ye-t:ril:iy morning aud
the three gentlemen spent the altenusm
in consultation with District-Attorney
Colborn. Mr. Beal s:iys that his daught
er was registered at the Hotel Vannear
on Decern lier 30ih under the assumed
name of "Mrs. Keiin." He identified the
signature as that of his daughter. The
proprietor of the hotel says that the lady
who registered as "Mrs. Keim'' arrived
on the noon train and was ar-sigued to

Saprene Court Decision!.
Among the largo number of opinions
handed down by the Supreme Court last
week, the following are of interest in this
county :
In the case of Mary E. Meyers et. al.,
vs. W. II. M'-yers, Barbara E. Meyers
and Ida E. Meyers, the lower court is
sustained. Fve of the seven heirs of the
late Peter Meyers accepted real estate ap
praised at the value of Jl'ii'i, lvi no, mak
ing an average share of J,u;.ik). Tin
appraised value of the rt al enlate not tak
eu was ?'i2,."C-i.7", "independent of other
lands from which the sum of a'stut
JIU.OoO was afterwards ro'ied, to be di
vided among tlie two non-accepting
heirs. The accepting heirs g;tve their re
cognizances and the contention was as to
whether tho recognizances boro interest.
At the time of tlie original appraNement,
17, real ptate values w ere gTfitly in
flated, as was discovered to l,e the case
upon a final settlement of the estate.
In the case of S. B. Philson ag-iiust tho
Mutual Life Iiisurance company, of New
York, appealed from Somerset county,
the lower court is reversed. James Cor
coran, who died in IS'l, had a jioliey iu
the Mutual Life, and after his death it
could not Lc found. His widow was paid
the claim in the atweneeof the policy af
ter giving the company a bond of indem
nity. Ijiter Philson turned up with the
policy, which had been assigned to bim.
He sued and was given judgment for the
amount of it. This was set aide because
he hail not given the company the re
quired notice of tho transfer Of the policy
when it was made.
Chief Justice Sterrett handed down the
opinion in the case of Hannah Fritz and
others, appellants, against Thomas A.
Menges, from the Common Pleas court of
Somerset county, refusing to reverse
judgment. The suit was a dispute over
the title of a farm in this county.
EgniUbls't Fine Showing.
It must be very gratifying to the poli
cy holders in this county to learn that the
Equitable Life Society of New York, has
done such a very large business in 1SJ.
The Pittsburg Agency closed the year
with 5s,.'ilS,f(TiO new business.
Both manager E. A. VVcods and M. L
Fosdick, their traveling man, express
pleasure at the amount of business writ
ten In Somerset county, so far in excess
of all other companies.
Mr. Fosdick wrote between Bedford
aud Somerset counties nearly 100 new
policies for half a million of insurance iu
the last six months alor.e.
The Co.'s ne x cash g.ia'antee policy is
the key to this increased business, and
their promptness iu paying deth claims
and maturing policies.
They are now the largest and strongest
Insurance Couq any iu the world.
Highest of all in Leavening Tower.,
ACSClUTELY PURE
Legislation for Farmer.
Hahkisiii kii, Jan., 10. -In his second
annual report, Thomas J. Edge, Secretary
of the Department of Agriculture, say
the farmer's institute system of Pennsyl
vania has reached a condition of devel
opment never before attained and which
Is scarcely second to that of any other
SLato in the Union. The State has been
divided into three Institute districts, and
a corps of speakers and Institute workers
assigned to each. He recommends that
the appropriation of fT.oOO !e at least
doubled. As to the laws relating to food
and food products, experience has dem
onstrated that it should not be amended.
He says : "0,uite a numlier of provisions
have been tested in the courts and their
status established. Those directly Inter
ested have become familiar with the lead
ing provisions of tho act, and any chang
es made will only confuse and binder tho
work which 1 now so well under way.
The enforcement of this law for the past
IS mouths has saved the citizens many
thousands of dollars, and has at the same
time secured to Inem articles of foot! of
better quality without a corresponding
Increase in cost."
Of the imitation butter act, bo says tho
attorney for the department contends
that it does recognize oleomargarine as an
ordinary article of food or ingredient of
food. "It is the intention of tho depart
ment," says Mr. Edge, "to havo tho mat
ter tested in the proper courts as soon as
a case can be prepared and reached, and
should it be decided against us it may bo
necessary to ask the Legislature to re-enact
the oleomargarine law of lS-vj and re
inforce it with that of Is.).."
The secretary says tho act to secure the
sale of pure cider vinegar has proved de
fective and new legislation is asked for to
remedy its defects.
The uct relating to the branding and
sale of "compound lard," thj se -retary
says, h:is been enforced with gratifying
results, but it, t, has been found defect
ive in vital point. He recommends tlie
modification of the law so as to require
the brand or l:ild to bo placed oil a con
spicuous part of the package, w ith letters
of larger size than now demanded.
The act relating to the use of preserva
tives iu milk and cream has Isien enforc
ed with benefit to the consumer, but, ow
ing to radical defects in it, no suits, have
lieen instituted. Legislation is suggest
ed to make the law clearer, and provide
for tho disposition of thf fiiies.
Under the head of "Fore-try" secre
tary Edge says extended ami complete
in obligations into the extent an 1 .mon
ey value of the losses annually sustained
by the lumber intereet-t of the state from
forest fires have been made. Many of
these are traceable to hunting fires not
extinguished by sjortsmen, carelessness
with matches and fires kindled for the
purpose of destroying underbrush. lo
comotives do much les. damage thsu is
generally suppled. The secretary sug
gests that as soon as tho State treasury
warrants, an attempt should be made to
obtain control of at least a portion of tho
timler areas on tho waterslevls of one
or lK)th branches of I ho Susquehanna,
and be placed in a position to inltuenisj
the water supply by controlling the char
acter and condition of the forests upon
the watersheds.
Speaking of tho wdrk of the State Live
Sts-k Sanitary btxard. consisting of the
Governor. Secretary of Agriculture, Dai
ry and Food Commissioner and State
Veterinarian, Secretary Edge says : "The
only question at issue U-tvvecn tlie stock
ow ners of the State and the agents of the
Ismrd has leen that of the necessity of
killing all animals found infected. The
board has assumed that all infected ani
mals, no matter how slight the lesions.
re dangerous ami a menace to other
stock, but, at the same time, it has adopt
ed rules which, under precautions, w ill,
it is believed, insure the safety of other
stock and permit ow ners of condemned
stK-k, showing no external symptoms, to
keep them in strict quarantine until the
que-stion of the extent of the disease may
le determined by external svmj ten;."
In the opinion of Secretary Edge, farm
ers are greatly benefited by the analysis
of commercial fertilizers made bv the di
rection of his department. It is estima
ted by the department that the fanners of
Pennsylvania expend a!iit ",7.V),t)J0 an
nually for commercial fertilizer, and
the enforcement of the law adds at leo.-t
S-"Ls,fSiO value to the fertilizers sold.
On the subject ef rocds a?;d road laws
the secretary has this to say : "Until the
question of State and county aid has been
definitely decided by proper legislation.
I would favor changes in our present law
by w hich not less than one-half of all
road taxes should le paid in cash. Fol
lowing this, I would further suggest that
other changes should be made in the du
ties of supervisors, so that they shall out
line and direct road repair, giving them
very much the shiiio position in rcialii 11
to tuem as is now given the m-Ium I direct
ors, and, like them, they would s.rve
without compensation ; etiip'uvertheiu to
appoint one rrad master for each rt:-d
district, and make it his duty to work
upon tiie roads of hi district a al! proper
times during the year, and furnish work
for all who wish to work out the half of
their taxes not paid in cish. The' super
visor should employ the r 1:1 1 m isters,
and they, in turn, should, under regula
tions made by the supervisors, oversee
the work of the taxpayers."
Mr. E-!go says "th ra-i hi th.j wheat
markets of tho future wi'I b, as in the
past, one of cheap prtsluctiori nn.l cheap
transportation, and that at least a. far as
this special crop is concerned, th.ise two
items will exercise a controlling influ
ence in fixing the prices of the future."
As to the crops of lsti, the secretary says:
"With the exception of their hay crop
our fanners have little ciusa for com
plaint. Nearly all crops wero alsjvethc
average, and that of com was one of the
largest for several years. There was an
nnusual irregularity in some crops, which
was due to the fact that certain districts
of the State suffered more than others
from the universal drought of the past
summer." Allegheny and Warren coun
ties report nearly doble the amount of
young grass that there was at the corres
ponding period in Kl
