Frank Thomson, who wa last Thurs day electeJ President of the Pennsylva nia railroad to succeed the late (ieorge B. UobfcrU, is a son of Alexander Thomson, who at one time was president judge of tlve Sixteenth Judicial District, of which Somerset county was a part. Judge Thomson resided at Cham hers burg, Franklin county, also being iu the bh District, and as he occupied the bench before the constructions of railroads in this section he was com pel lei to Jouruey to the various county seats in his district quarterly for the purpose of holding court. He usually came to Somerset via the Ligonier pike, stopping over night at Stoyestown, where he formed the ac quaintance of a Miss rabam, w hom be afterwards married and who thus became the step mother of the present Pennsyl vania President. The Graham family was one of tbe most prominent in tbe county, and although many dest-r-miants of the family still reside here, we believe there is not one of the name at pre tut a resident of the county. J0H5 QtJEEI'S QOEEi FIKD. A Wolf Killed ia Lincoln Towmhip. John Queer, of near F.die post office, w-as the happiest man in Somerset ooitn ty last Thursday morning when be visit ed the big rocks, two or three miles from his home on the laurel Hill Mountain, for the purpose of examining a trap he had Imited the preceding afternoon, to find a large timber wolf securoly held by out of hin front paws iK-tween the steel teeth of the trap. M r. Queer, who is past eighty-one years of ngc, is still a steady marksman and bringing his trusty rifle into Misition ho despatched the "var ment," The wolf weighed IK) pounds and measured six feet from the tip of bis nose to the end of bis tail. The venera ble hunter carefully removed the hide and stuffed it with straw ami next morn ing brought it into the IIkrai.p ofllee w here it was viewed by a large uum!er of local sportsmen. The premium for killing a wolf iu Pennsylvania is 10. Mr. C. S. Yanuear purchased the hide aud w ill send it to a taxidermist to be mounted when he will place il on exhi bition iu his hotel otlicu. K"potts have been current in regajrd to a pack of wolves infesting the mountain above LMie fr a number of years past, and although farmers averred that their sheep and hogs had been carried away by these ferocious animals, few persons were willing to credit their statements. Mr. Queer says, however, that the story is true, and that he has wi-u a pack con taining as many as a dozen wolves the present winter. Ho says the animals are very wild and rarely alford a shot for a hunter. A wolf of the same species wait shot iu the same neighborhood alsmi four years agi. VTell-kncwn Batinerf Ken Sctire.

One fact is devclopsd in connection with the throng of visitor-t from all parts of the United Slates at Canton, and it is that Major McKinley daily astonishes his callers by the bread'h, variety, freshness, njinutene'.s and accuracy of his informa tion concerning parties, factions, politi cians, business and political conditions throughout the country. He has a mem ory as Mr. Blaine's for men, and an even more serviceable one for facts aud cur rent information of interest. A western senator who was iu Canton a day or two ag ) sail : "I slopped oiT in Canton to acquaint Major McKinley with the peculiar condi tion of atfairs in a political way that ex ists in one part of my state. The circum stances w hich I wished to relate to biin were so unusual, so intricate and so little known that I imagined they could by no means have come to his knowledge. To my surprise I found that be was more thoroughly informed than I upon the subject, and that he gave me fresh infor mation ami new points of view that were as valuable'as they were surprising. He seems to be able at w ill to recall and to state the sajient points of the iolitiid sit uation in any part of the country, and to pass the men w ho make those conditions in rapid review before his mind." Fran cis B. Ioomis in 2f. Y. Tribune. The Arbitration Tieity. Despite fhe clamor of those who are ready to ;,-rce to anything that masquer ades under the name of an arhitiation treaty, it is hardly likely that the propo sition for a treaty arra- ged lietwren Sec retary Olney and Lord Salisbury, to sub mit to arbitration any and all disputes !clw ecu this country and Great Britain, will not e ratified by the senate w ith out careful scrutiny of its provisions. In, bed it is highly prolmble that the treaty w ill not le ratified in its present shape, aud that the British government must make eome concessions liefore it will meet tbe views of the committee on foreign relations. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the construction to be placed upon certain passages of the treaty. Some of the leading senators. Senator Davis among the ntnnler, fear that it would nullify the Monroe doctrine, feucrc-tary Olney claims that it would not, and ex Senator P.dmunds, another able author ity, agrees with him. When able men thus construe tho treaty differently, it is evident that it is defective and should be amended. Why not have it stated iu the treaty specifically that the Monroe doctrine is not nullified or impaired by lis provisions? Great Britain has a habit of denying the mean ing of plain language in treaties, and he would tie certain to claim that this treaty nullified tbe Mouroe doctrine, unless tbe ' contrary is stated very clearly. '. . '. w Beeent Deaths. John C. Smith, a veteran oi the war, died at the County Home, Monday even ing. Deceased bad been in lad health for a long time and his death was a hap py release.

Alexauder Prilts, a prominent citizen of Brothersvalley township, died at his borne on last Tuesday morning. On Monday be was apparently enjoying good health when be visited Meyersdale. While returning homo he began to feel sick and continued to grow worse until about four o'clock Tuesday morning, when he died. Mr. Pritts was well known throughout tho nnty and enjoy ed tho friendship of a great many people. He was fifty otio years of ago and leaves a w ifc and a large family.

Mr. King was of New Jersey parentage, his grandfather having been a pioneer of Turkeyfoot township, aud a patriot in the Revolution. He was the youngest son of a family all of whom have now passed away, save a sister two years his senior, residing in Lower Tur keyfoot township.

Siltribution of Fit h. Persons w ho wish to secure fish from tho State for breeding puristse or are in terested in tho matter would do well to read the rules which the Pennsylvania Commissioner of Fisheries have made for the distribution of the same. To begiu with, the Stale has been di vided into six districts, and all applica tions for blanks for fish must .be sen. to tho Commissioner of the district iu which the applicant resides. The application, when received, must bo indorsed by the Senator or Representative of the district, after which il is to bo forwarded to the Commissioner, who will approve and then forward to the hatchery to be filled. Cambria, Blair, Somerset, and Bedford counties are iu the Fourth District, for which IL C.

Senator elect Mason, of Chicago, who paid a visit to Mr. McKinley, at Canton, Ohio, a rew days ago says that the Presi dent cks-t intends to tnakeollice distribu tion as small a part of his duties as he possibly can. This is not altogether to l ie satisfaction of Mr. Mason, who called on Major McKinley to push the claims of suneof his Illinois f iends for various Federal offices. Major McKiuley gave him to understand thai be would be very si w in making changes, and that under no circumstances would ho consider the filling of minor appointments until after a special session of Congress had been held. According to Mr. Mason, Major Mc Kinley is determined to carry out bis program of providing a reveuuo measure that will yield enough revenue to pay the running expenses of the government liefore he gives a thought to another sub ject. The tariff bill which is now being prepared by tho ways and means com mittee will bo an administration incisure and it is proposed to rush it through the House of Representatives in thirty days or less. It will reach the Senate about the middle of April, and it is expected to lie in the President's hands liefore Juue 1. Nearly three mouths will elapse, therefore, liefore Major McKinley will give a thought to olfiee-seekers. After the special session of Congress, however, the President will have abundant time to take up appointments, aud he pro poses to devote most of the summer to the task of selecting men to fill Federal offices. At the Mercy of Vixen. Sbamokin, Pa., Feb. 3. Breaking In to tho home of Mrs. Mary Klanskie to serve a bench warrant this morning. Constable Elias Gottshall climlied over a barricade in the seoond story, when tbe woman emptied a bucket of scalding wa ter on his head. While he Htood in a dazed condition slip rushed at him with an ax, knocking him down and cutting his bead wide open. She then struck him agaiu, hut the blade of the ax grazed bis neck. The officer knew that be would lie kill ed if he did not act quickly, and despite bis awful wound he crawled to the wo mau's feet and upset ber. A desperate contest ensued for posses sion of the ax, aud Gottshall, with the aid of Peter Sutiierdny, made the infur iated woman prisoner. Later on she was takeu into court, and Judge Savidge fined her ?100 for con tempt, and instructed the Grand Jury to find a bill against her for assault and bat tery, with iutcnt to kill jotlshall. One month ago Mrs. Klanskie was ar-re-ted for perjury, and bound over for court. When the officers served the war rant at that trial she crawled under her house and defied tbe police qntil hunger and cold caused ber to capitulate. Something for Kothing.

Several of them hold out the hope that physicians may sooner or later see the exact position and condition of the interna! organs of their patients. Less than a year ago it was thought a remarkable thing to see the bones of the hand. To-day Mr. Kdisou's experi ments have been so successful that he can discount the revelations of the best X ray photograph made a couple of mouths ago. And the probabilities are that the physi cian of the future, by the aid of the llu-or-ope, w ill tie able to tell at a glance whether or not a man is in good health and free from bono formations, cancers, tumors and the like. Moreover, with the new crystals a man's eyes may le securely bandaged, and yet he can discern ohjects iu a room. So that in cases of blindness, where the visual organs are not entirely destroyed, there is a chance for the sightless to see dimly under certain circumstances. Mr. Kdisou wrote out the following statement of what be bad accomplished ; "I first purchased iu this country aud I hi rope all the different chemicals known or sold in the trade which I did not al ready possess. These wc-ro all tried in the tluorscope; and only one was equal in sensitiveness to tuugstate of calcium. "Since then, however, my chemuts have been making combinations not pro curable elsewhere. Thirty new suits tan. ces per day have been the average pro ducts. These have been subjected to the X ray, and their fluorescing power meas ured. "I have found one chemi.-al which is more sensitive to the X ray than any heretofore known. I will keep on in the work, however, until there is little hope of finding anything Isitter, although the I chances of discovery can never be ex hausted, tho possible chemical combina tions running up into the hundreds of millions."
