We understand that a movement is on
foot which seeks to remove the Soldiers"
Monument from its present location in
the Court House yard to the centre of the
public square. We hope the movemoiit
will prove unsuccessful. The monument
is becomingly situated where it is, and,
owing to its meagre proportions would
lie dw arfed by the tall buildings fronting
on the square. Another reason why it
should not be removed is that it should
nit lie placed iu competition with the
monumental stales the Iwrough authori
ties have erected on the square, 1a the
Soldiers' Monument stand w here it is.

W1U THEY S WIH3 !
E-Trial of tha Roddy Boys, Convioted of
Harder in tie First Degree.
Xext week's term of court will be of
unusual interest to tho general public
owing to the re trial of the K Idy Iwys,
charged with the murder of David Ber
key, of Paint township. On the former
trial the jury, after deliberating for
twelve hours, returned a verdict of "guil
ty of murder in the first degree," The
finding of the jury met with general ap
proval, but there were a number of per
sons who followed tho case from licgin
ning to end who did not ls-lievo that tho
evidunce w arranted a first degree verdict
Con usel for the defendants made a mo
tion for a new trial as soou as tho verdict
was recorded and asked the court to fix a
day on which argument would be
heard. Meanwhile efforts were put
forth to secure evidence iu behalf of the
defendants. The most startling discov
ery was made by a Johnstown newspa
per man who accidently learned that the
evidence given at the trial ajaiust the
prisoners by a witness named IWduian
was absolutely false. Herduian had tasti
fied on tha witness stand that he had met
the defend. nits at an early hour on the
Homing follow ing the Berkey outrago at
Osborne cut, ou tho S. .V, C. It. It, their
travel-suiucd clothing and general ap
pearance indicating to his mind that they
had been traveling during the preceding
night. The newspaper man discovered
that Herd man was in Guttysbnrg, Pa., at
the time, anil when he was coufrontcd
w ith the facts he promptly admitted that
he had been mistaken. James Roddy
entered an information against Herdman
charging bim with perjury, but the
grand jury ignored the bill of indictment,
probably for the reason that the only ev
idence before them consisted of the state
ments of the prosecutor, already convict
ed of murder, and of Richard Jackson,
who had been charged with the same
crime.
Herduian's testimony completed the
chain of evidence tracing the defendants
from their home ia Morrellvillo to the
Berkey residence and back to Johns
town, and the court was unwilling to as
sume tho responsibility of saying what
weight the jury attached to his testi
mony, and therefore, granted a new trial.
Since a now trial w as granted attorneys
for the Commonwealth have been dili
gently at work securing additional evi
dence against the accused and it is inti
mated that they have been successful in
finding a number of new w itnesses whose,
testimony will operate strongly agiinst
them. District-Attorney Colb:rn ex
presses himself strongly on the matter
and says that the Commonwealth will
make oui a much stronger case next
week thau they did at the Dvjcember
trial.
The prisoners and their counsel are
hopeful of securing an acquittal, aud it
will not lie surprisiug if they suc
ceed in fortifying the alibi set tip at the
former trial by tho evid nice of a largo
number of new witnesseses.

large sorrel lior.se for a number of
years past in the use of Captain C. J.
Harrison's family ran away and left his
driver, a lad named Prilts, lying uncon
scious by the r.iaJside, Young Prills
was driving a truck wagon out the Stoy
estown road and in his efforts to make
the animal strike a faster gait struck him
ou the rump with tho liies. The horse
leaped forward dragging the luckless
driver over the dash board and
breaking loose from the wagon ran away.
Pritts was knocked unconscious ami was
carried into a house near by where he
remained for forty-five minutes before
recovering his mental equilibrium. He
was not seriously injured. The horse
has been for several years pan the pet of
Captain Harrison's little boy and girl,
both of whom have spent many happy
hours on his liack, usually accompanied
by one or more of their little friends.
The Captain was so indignant at the
trusted animal's conduct tint he would
not permit him to re-enter his stable but
sold him to a liveryman.

While a deputy -sherilT was escorting
Calor from the Cumberland jail to the
railroad station ou the way to the peni

When Calor was arrested and lodged

rather than go to the penitentiary.

Soot in the Back and Pockets Tnrned Inside
Oat
Tho Pittsburg Press of Sunday says
that a mau was found dead near the Balti-
nel Saturday Afternoon, with two bullet
Wound- in his back. The shot tvrrA no
J doubt fired by a murderer, whose object
was robbery, as the pockets of the dead
man were tnrne 1 wrong sid.j out. No
money or valuables were fouud on the
person of the dead mau, aud the position
in which the body was found showed
that it was iuiHssiblo ho could have met
hisdoalh as tho result of a railroad acci
dent. The body was picked up by a
freight crew aud taken to Rock wood, and
the coroner of Somerset county waa noti
fied. But little information could be got
from the trainmen of the Washington ex
press, which arrived in this city at 7
o'clock last night. From what could be
learned the man had evidently been dead
several days. His body was iu a bad
slate of decomposition when found. Two
bolus in the coal of the dead man led the
trainmen to investigate. The cloth of
the coat was of a cotton material and
badly scorched. When the coat and shirt
were removed two holes in the lody be
low the left shoulder were found. Beside
the body of the dead man was a hat
which bore the mark "S. and H-, Pitts.'
The hat was probably bought at Solomon
& Ru lion's.
The man was apparently a mill work
er. His hands were rough and showed
that he was not an ordinary tramp. The
impression among the railroad meu is
that the man had money and that he was
murdered by tramps.

railroad men has failed to shed any light
on the above narrative, which is probab
ly a fake, as it would otherwise been
brought to the attention of the county of

Brethren District Meeting.
The District Meeting of Western Penn

evening and remained in session until
last evening, when it adjourned to moet
next spring at Rockton, Pa.
An organization was effected by the
election of Bishop Lint, Moderator; Eld.
Daniel Walker, Reading Clerk, aud Eld.
Wm. G. Schrock, Secretary. Several
queries from various charges in the dis

but were not of sullicient gravity to send

Boad Bill May Pass.
The Hamilon road bill, as amended by
the House, will be taken up to-morrow-night
by the Senate. Its friends declare
it will pass without a change, and thai it
will become a law before the close of this
week. If these predictions are fulfilled,
it will mark a new era in the history of
road management in Pennsylvania. The
bill provides for a board of supervisors
in each township, one going out and oue
being elected each year; thus forming a
township organization in which the ma
jority will always be in office. Under the
old system the supervisors' term of office
in most of the townships expire at the
same time. The result ts that for about
two mouths before the old supervisors go
out of office and for about two months
after the new supervisors go in, there is
practically nothing done upon the roads.
The Hamilton bill will correct this, be
cause there will always be a board of su
pervisors in charge. These supervisors
are not required to work upon the roads,
but have about the same relation to roads
that School Directors have to the schools.
They simply direct what shall be done
aud bow it shall be done, and see that the
work is properly performed. In order
that this may be executed effectively
they are empowered to employ road mas t-e.-s
who are to work upon the roads them
selves and also to oversee such other la
bor as may report for work.
MONEY TAX TO BK PAID.
The bill also provides that at legist one
fourth and not exceeding one-half of the
road tax levied shall be paid in cash; the
balance may lie paid in work. The road
supervisors are limited lo a ten mill tax
as the utmost that they can levy, except
that in a special emergency they may ap
ply to the Court for an additional sum to
meet the emergency. The bill provide
also for State aid, and will go into effect
immediately upon the State's appropriat
ing fl, J for distribution am jng the
various townships according to their
mileage of road.
Acting Secretary of Agriculture Hamil
ton claims that the measure will greatly
relieve the agricultural people in the ex
pense of constructing and maintaining
their roads aud eventually will provide
most of the money needed for this pur
pose. He declares that the farmers are
I overtaxed and some relief must be had.
Slate aid for roads will provide some as
sistance aud to that extent this scheme
will aid country poiple by sharing the
expense of road onstruclion. He be
lieves the same money now raised, ex
pended under the business management
of a Board of Supervisors, will accom
plish about twice as much as under the
old, careless methods, aud thai very
soon the State will have solid, smooth
and durable highways through all of
the country districts.

SIR F2AHCIS DRAKE'S FORTUNE.
.
Cold Facts for People With Designs en
Phantom English Estates.
From the New York sun.
Louis Stoughton Drake, of Aul urndale,
Mass., compiler of "The Drake Family in
England and America, from 1J)0 to
has this to say about the "Drake Relative
Association," formed in western Penn
sylvania for the purpose of recovering
the "vast Sir Francis Drake rortune:"
"As this wild si-tieine lias broken out
once or twice in each generation for tho
last hundred years, and people of the
name, of all races all over the country,
have been, intentionally and unintention
ally, duped or swindled out of thousands
of dollars by men 'who have looked the
whole matter up,' I think that it is time
to call a halt. The days when something
can be got for nothing have long since
passed and no person by the name of
Drake has the slightest reason for hoping
even that there is any money to come to
him from Sir Francis Drake's fortune or
any other source iu England.
"In the first place the amount of prop
erty lull by Admiral Drako's heirs has
been grossly exaggerated. I have copies
of all of the wills by which it passed from
oue generation to another, which shows
that it finally dwiudled dow n to the an
cient family house al Buckland abbey, iu
the parish of Buckland Mouachorum,
and a mansion house at Xutwell court in
the parish of Woodbury, Devon, Eng
land, and various personal property of
little value, at the time that it passed out
of the Drake family.
"The fiual result of the work of all of
the different Drake associations has been
to discover, after endless research and
expenditure of hundreds of dollars that
the '.Squatter's claim' of 2u years entitled
the family into whose hauds the property
passed to complete possession, and do
barred everyoue else. I have in my hands
a letter written from England by a law
yer sunt over there by tho 'New York
Drake association,' of 1S70, in which he
says, as a result of his researchesjund cnu
fcrences with English lawyers, that if the
members of that society could prove their
descent from the brothers of Sir Francis
Drake a hundred times, w hich, by the
way, no one can do, it would do them no
good whatever.
"When one takes into consideration
that there are iu this country Drakes of
English descotit, Irish descent, Scotch
descent, Dutch and Spanish descent, and
all of the Drake Fortune societies have
taken them ail in as members and prom
ised them their share of the property on
a paymeut of a suitable, initiation fee, it
can be readily seen on the face of it how
much the whole, thing amounts to."
Smiles Irradiate the Countenance
When those atrocious bodily troubles,
chills aud fever, dyspepsia, kidney or
rheumatic disorders, yield, as they inva
riably do, to the benign action of Hos
tetters Stomach Bitters, a remedy of
comprehensive use, pure iu composition,
unobjectionable to a delicato palate, and
thorough in effects. Sick hoadache, loss
of appetite, ilosh and sleep, uausea,heart
burn, are among the physical annoyan
ces obviated by the Bitters. They are in
tho nature of signals of distress display
ed by a disordered stomach, liver ami
liowels ami disappear with tha cause
that produced them. But these signals
should be hoeded at ouce. Then the woe
begone look of chronic ill health w ill
speedily disappear, and vigor and com
fort restore a cheerful aspoct to the face.
That faithful index to the condition of
the system never (ails to wear a look of
sunshine when the Bitters is used to dis
pel the cloud.

Somerset County Conference.
The spring Convention of the Somerset
County Conference was held in the Luth
eran church at Lavansville, May 10th,
11th, Uih. All of tho IS ministers lie-
belonging to Conference were present,
but two, and there were thirteen lay del
egates iu attendance. The welcome given
by the Lavansville people was a hearty
one, and the decorations, the entertain
ment furnishod aud the attendance by
the people upon the sessions of confer
ence all contributed to make the conven
tion a very pleasant and it is hoped a
very profitable one.
The discussions of the practical sub
jects on the program were carried on vig
orously. A resolution was passed urging
all pontons appointed, in the future, as
essayists to furnish a well digested paper
on the subject assigned, conference I ic
ing convinced that much of the practical
benefit depended upon the thorough dis
cussion of the subjects.
Ou the question ol temperance, con-
ferance reaffirmed its former ponition of
hoHtility to all intoxicating drinks as a
beverage.
Tho matter of undertaking the found
ing of a mission in Moxham came up in
directly. ' After free and open discussion
it was decided that iu the opinion of con
ference the time bad not yet come for
sur-b a movement, and that whenever
the opportune lime should come confer
ence would give the project all the en
couragement in its power.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing that the mission at Morrell vi'.le con
stitute a separate pastorate and that the
other two lioiuts at prasent connected
with it. Now Florence and Germany
congregations, be referred b the Pitta-
burg Synod or. w h.ise territory they are
