"Old Sol" was tho most patriotic citi
"ti hcreaUmts on the 4lh. In fact he
got up so much steam that all others
were thrown into tho shade and he had
the lield to bin. self. The heat of Satur
day w as suilicient to satisfy most people,
but Sunday w ent the lecord of the pre
ceding day one better. There was not a
thimbleful of air going until after mid
day and thereafter only enough for a few
breaths. The streets were comparatively
deserted throughout the day and even
ing, most people preferring to remain at
home where they could dispense with
outer garments. Thermometers of un
certain reputation in vari.uis parts of
town recorded the heat anywhere from KS
to ! degree". It was certainly the hot
est day ever experien-id in Somerset.
Monday was aixrtber scorcher only re

Judge Rrubaker of Lancaster County,
administered last week a scathing rebuke
to the County Commissioners. Ten days
ago the Court made an ordc-r that the
marriage licenses index books should be
made by Rook binder Roy. The Comity
Commissioners countermanded the order
and gave the order for the books to a
favored bookbinder.
He told them that the countermanding
of his order to Roy was a piece of impert
inence and if it occured again he would
have the whole Roard arrested for con
tempt. The Judge warmed up at this
stage and talked plainly to the Commis
sioners. He told them their other clerk,
W. W. Criest, run them aud it wouid 1ms
ls-tter for the welfare of the county if
they would run the county affairs in
stead of being mere figure heads. It
seemed to the Court that they were uu
abletodo anything without consulting
(riest.
Judge Rrulstker continued: "The
Commissioners otlice is run to meet polit
il pat rt mage an J assessors are paid th ree
times w hat they earn; the temple of
justice is defiled by the use of the office
of the Commissioners for factional pur
poses the county auditors cannot find
anything wrong, but the Court proposes
to appoint a committee of investigation
who would find (Hit what is going on." '

"BARKERS" ON PARADE.
If there was an old "(Sroenbseker," an
old "Sorehead," an old "Kicker" who
was absent from tbe"fake" convention last
Tuesday it was because be did not have
the pri-je ot a railroad ticket, or the walk
ing iu his section w as not good.
They were mostly there aud I bono who
were not had their ears to the ground
impatiently listening for uewa from their
brethren. "
And what an amount of enthusiasm
they brought w ith them.
Nothing like it had been witnessed
since '82, when their gallant leader, "Gen
eral" Koontz, struck the party colors,
raised the black flag aud engaged in open
warfare against the Republican party
that had frequently honored him aud his
followers, including his able second in
command, "Colonel" Koiwer, who was
conveyed to the sceno of the first liattle
in that memorable contlict in an ambu
lance, being too feeble from long wrest
ling with his iuuer-couscieuce to ride a
mount.
As in 1SS2, J. i. Ogle, Kso,., the irre
pressible, w as on hand In his capacity of
"orderly, bottle-holder, general utility
man," or what not, with resolutions cut
to fit aud in abundance, the reading of
which called forth salvos of cheers and
caused many of the listeners to fall upon
one soothers necks through sheer joy at
hearing the old familiar phrases that had
caused their hearts to throb and their
pulses to quicker bjat in those days of
long ago. It was something akin to tho
finding of a long lost brother. Even tho
rasping voice of the ever zealous, if not
always discrjet, Berkoy, was like unto
sweet music in the ears oft hi wonder
ing band who have been grazing iu short
pasture for some fifteen years, aud he
was allowed to tire oil' his little dema
gogic speech, while the heat aud euthu
siasiu increased.
Rut we cm not do it justice; only one
w ho was there in the flush and with tire
true spirit can fitly portray the enthu
siasm, hence we quote :
"The great crowd in the court room
could no longer suppress its en
thusiasm, and calls for 'Kooiilz came
from all parts of the room. This finally
brought to his feet Hon. W. II. Koontz,
who certainly needed no introduction to
a IsMly of representative citizens (just
what they represented is somewhat
misty) of Somerset county. Thetieneral
was greeted with prolonged applause
and when this ceased (how considerate)
he said In part :
"Just six hundred and eighty-two years
ago, at Ruiinyme lt tho hold Uirrons,
sword in hand, compelled King John to
sign Magna Charta, the palladium of
British liberties. (Had not Mr. Ogle
with his usual foresight dispatched
Messrs. Shober aud Kimmel to lay on the
roof it would have leen swept from the
building by the storm of enthusiasm that
greeted this announcement.) The prin
ciples upon which Hie Republican party
were formulated in IsTiii w ere free sKech,
free territory and freo men. (Treuien
dous applause. ) The w ar of iNll 'iii re
sulted in the shackles falling from the
liinls of 4,(t,im0 of slaves. (Defining
applause, which would have rung the
Court House 111 and probably caused an
alarm of fire had not Mr. Ogle thought
fully had the ls?U niuillvl ) Subsequent
to the war the question of the reconstruc
tion of the states lately in relxlliou, the
payment of the large national debt, the
resumption of specie payments aud va
rious other questions had len raised,
but were ultimately settled according to
the views and principles of the Republi
can party. (Applause lasting a minutes
by the watch )
"In ls2 a revolt occurred in tho ranks or
the Republican party in Pennsylvania
which resulted in the dcteat of (Jen. Rea
ver and the election of a Democratic (iov
emor, and, I am proud to say, I was the
leader of the revolt in this county. ( Loud
applause from the Democratic c.iutin
geut.) Iu lsstj it was I who led a revolt
in the interests of a Democratic candidate
for Congress in this district, but with
poor success. (Slight applause, mingled
with hisses.) I did the same thing in
1!W and while unsuccessful in defeating
the Republican candidate for Congress,
the State administration was on.-e more
handed over to the Democratic party.
(Wild and enthusiastic applause.) I need
scarcely refer to our strenuous efforts
to elect a Free Silverite to Congress last
fall, Isit let us not be dismayed by this
recent failure. We have a Democratic
Poor Director and Jury Commissioner iu
sight for the next three years unless I
wrongfully read the signs of tho times
and the tremendous vote polled at our
late primary is not misleading. (Ap
plause and cheering, while Capt. Harri-
s m, Judge Horner and others shook
hands with the speaker.)
When the enthusiasm following the
"UeneralV remarks had somewhat sub
sided, Mr. Kooser took a pinch of snuff
a id au Ex-County Commissioner ren
dered a song entitled :
"I AM A D OLD KICKER."
AIB : When Kooser tiets to Contjrvu.
"I'm a (rood old kicker.
An that's Just whet I am.
And for the Republican party
I don't care a d n;
I'm ead I nt agin It,
Aud am aorry ttiat they won.
Hut I alu't join' to ax do pur.lou
For any think I done."
I'm a good old kicker,
Au' that's just what I am,
I 'listed under ole Marse in-er-nl
When this liyar flht U-gun ;
I lit agin tiin'l Itcaver
Way back in )!,
Au' I'll du Nome ma' till kit-kin,
liefo' dU yar fight Is thro.
-
I'm a good old kicker.
An' tiiat'sjust wliat I am,
I hate all rules an' regulations
An' defy 'em ail I can ;
I never paid an assessment,
Au' d ii me if I do,
I've not been reconstructed,
I'm a kicker tliroUKh au' through.
"The audience soon caught the point
of the Cencral's speech and applied it
with rounds of applause. Then came
calls for 'Kooser (second fiddle but al
ways there) and the gentleman whose
'fool friends' have been a sort of night
mare to the moribund ring arose amid
great applause." (In that very much
mixed audience it was feared by some
that Mr. E. O. Kooser, Secretary of the
Iiemocratic County Committee, might
arise under the impression that the vo
ciferous "calls for Kooser" were meant
for the only son and juuior member of
the firm. It was a timely and happy de
liverance when the senior Kooser got
first to his feet.)
"Mr. Kooser disclaimed any intention
of making a speech of any length," but
despite his intentions, force of habit com
pelled him to do so. Mr. Kooser always
goes to great lengths, not alone in
speeches, for be is built that way. How
ever, after this modest Isit unintentional
introductory, he proceed"! to do the
grand, gloomy and peculiar" act. He
apologized at great length for the small-
iicmm of the vole polled at the late fake
primary, but with true optomistic vision
saw in it a tremeudous uprising of the
people, considering it was an "off year."
Just how far"ofr most of his listeners ap
parently knew. He said that from I'JDO to
'JH0 vote bad always been considered a
large vote in off years, but as the speaker
had been "olf the Republican band
wagon lor so many years his hearers were
somewhat dubious about accepting him
as an authority on statistics. His relief
and joy "that the proceedings of the con
vention have been without friction or
tumult" (save the tremeudous applause)
was truly touching. His reference to
last spring's primary, when be carried
the county for Congress, aud when, from
his point of view all matters political
take their date, did not call forth the an
ticipated applause. It was too old a saw
for even that boisterously enthusiastic
audience. His lienceching of his hearers
to believe that the managers of the fake
primary aud fake convention were acting
houestly and in good faith caused some
doubtful glances to be exchanged, w hicb
meant "ho doth protest too much for a
man conscious of his own and fel
lows rectitude. ' While still engaged
in a vain effort to make himself and
bearers believe iu the righteousuoss
of his cause, a mighty cheer ramo
rolling up from the icom below,
n the pioiuid floor, nbeto the mein
liers of the Republican County Com
mittee were holding t'.-uir annual
meeting, that fairly took the speaker off
his feet. Hysterically gasping lor breath
he paused for an instant; then, recover
ing himself, dramatically proclalmed:
'The bosses are not here to-day; the
groan ot the dying ring, now iu your
heariDg, comes from 4be cellar of the
Court House, where are assembled the
fallen heroes uf the once glorious "Scull
ring.' n
(Through an error, it is presumed,
this literary gem was attributed to J. A.
Rerkey in the last issue of the "personal
organ," but it was Mr. K Doner's own;
credit to whom credit is due.) .
With one sweep of his jn Mr. Kooser
changed the party (his party ) rules, and,
overlooking tho result of the last judi
cial campaign announced the decision ot
the Court declaring his candidates the
nominees of the Republican party.
As he took his seat the audience arose
and cheered; cheered long and loudly,
(It may have been their method.of giving
expression of their delight that the
speaker had finished) much the same as
many of the same audience had done in
Isk, and the great fake convention was
declared adjourned.
Aud how the large Democratic contin
gent enjoyed it. They cheered, laughed
aud perspired, aud felt, so far as they
were concerned, that it was good for them
to be there.
And now that the amusement is all
over for this season, "the cries, the roars,
the bellowing" having been heard, we
have to wail but a few brief weeks to
hear "the gurgle of the smothered noise''
when the regularly elected delegates par
ticipate in the State Convention, and the
regular party nominees are placed on the
regular Republican ticket.

A Fine Cams of Ball.
"Lute" Witt is'cupies the top notch in
Ihe heart of tho "rooters' since his won
derful running ono-hand catch of a hot
liner last Wednesday afternoon. It was
a beautiful exhibition of skill and was
cheered to tho echo by the large crowd
gathered at West-Side Park to w itness
the game between Rcrliu aud Somerset.
Somerset delilsi'i-ately and with exact
precision gathered up "Roil" Davis' crim
son l.K-ks aud notwithstanding his boast
ed "steam" pinned them under the nape
of his nock and sent him home looking
like a "jKdly Yardcn belle" after a night
at the circus.
Davis shoots the ball with UrriCc
force, tut he was unable to keep il under
control and on two or three occasions
shot it high over Hall's head, thereby
permitting Somerset to score. Davis
shortcoming wasn't the only drawback
to Berlin. Fogle dropped a fly that
would hare clung to a charcoal basket.
Sw indell was a surprise to tue visitors
w ho looked upon him as an easy mark,
but when they went before his wide
Rirceping curves, beautifully controlled
at critical points, their eyes bulged forth
as though they were composed of glass.
Swindell dissn't have the steam of
Davis, but his nerves are steady and he
has no tendency to "go up iu the air."
As a result of Swindell's skill only oue
safo hit was made by the visitors, a clean
two-bagger by Fogle. "Midget" Craw
ford gave Swindell excellent support and
played tho game without an error.
Pugh, l id and Wilt all distinguished
themselves in the field and the three
double plays credited to them were fine
ly executed. "Spud" Hurst punched
the ball for a safe hit and afterwards
took a slide to third in a manner that
received prompt recognition from the
"rooters."
The game was the most enjoyable play
ed ou the home grounds this season.
Very little kicking was indulged in and
the lest of feeling existed Isitween the
competing teams. Following is the

Ohio Semoeraiio Convention.
The ( hio Democratic State convention ,
held at Coin minis last Wednesday, was
one of tho mont memorable political oc
casions iu tho history of Ohio. It was -a
convention of unanimity on principles
and of differences on men. In. tho cm
tests for favorite it vj als a c inven
tion of endurance, as the delegates took
no recess and were in session continu
ously from Id a. m. till aim Mt that boar
at night before the following ticket wn
nominated:
Coventor, Horace L. Chapman; Lieti-
tenaut Ciovernor. Melville D. Shaw; Su
preme Judge, J. P. Spriggs; Attorney
tieneral, W. II. Dore; State Treasurer,
James F. Wilson; Board of public Works,
Peter II. Degnan; School Commissioner,
Byron H. Hurd.
While there was some difference of
opinion on adopting the anti-trust aud
the Cuban resolutions, there was uot a
dissenting voice in the convention to the
declaration for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 1(1 to 1
without the co-operation of any other
nation. And the name of William J.
Bryau was mentioned in some way by
every speaker as the only sure way of
bringing out a chorus of applause. -

A COXHITTEEKAS WAHT8 TO ZNOW.
KllITOH IlKKAM) :
The Combine organ, in its issue of
June 10th, In sjieaking of the petition
signed by committeemen for a jirimary
-krt iuu, paid: "l'p to tbU time this
cull lias b-n picsetib-d to member-i
of Hie ('oiiiinitlee, ami S of these b.tve
signed it, declaring that 'wliercas the
prest-ut thuinuan of the County Com
mittee has refused to accept both the
fee and the announcement of certain
candidates aud has announced tbat be
will not call a primary election this
year, we, the undersigned Committee
men do hereby issue said call.' " Then,
in the issue of the same organ, of June
24th, they publish what purports to be
the call above referred to, but the
wording of it is vastly different Now,
I want to say that neither the call I
have ii'ioied aWive or the one as pul
1 is lied in the issue of June 2th is any
thing like the one that was presented
to me by ex-Couuty Commissioner
HhoU-r, and at the time it was pre
sented to me there were IS signatures
attached to it. Why did they not pub
lish the exact copy of the call that the
Committeemen signed? Itecau.se they
dared not do it. Chairman Iterklcy
published the "call oir" the Commit
teemen feigned, word for word, letter
for letter. If the same "arguments"
were used with ither Committeemen
that were used with me in au endeavor
to have nie sign the call, and I have no
doubt they were, it is surprising that
only 2o signed it. I challenge ex
Commissioner Shols-r and Commiss
ioner Kimmel to publish the call or
petition, word for word, that they cir
culated. They dare not do it, as it will
expose them to the public as political
fakirs of the first water. Then again,
ofthe'i'i Committeemen who signed
this fake call, fi refused to bold a pri
mary because they hail leeti misled
into signing it." Their names are, M.
A. Zimmerman, Daniel Mickey, Joel
Ilauman, Simon Thomas, Nelson Ger
hard, W. M. Putmau. Again, two uf
those who signed the call and held
a primary resigned as soon as the pri
mary was over. I was present at the
meeting of the County Committee
held on Tuesday l:t-t, and a mure har
monious and enthusiastic gathering of
Itcpublicaiis I never attended. I did
not sec the ex or the County Commis
sioner present who tried to induce me
to sigu their fake call, but that was
not surprising, as there were none
there w ho were not earnest and sin
cere lU'publh-ans. Now a word to Mr.
F. J. Kooser, who it seems bossed the
fake cull, the fake primary and the
fake convention. If you were feincere
in wanting a primary election, Mr.
Kiswer, why did you not put tip the
share of your candidates to pay the
expense. If you were honest in your
declaration that a large majority of the
iiieiuU'rs of the Committee wanted to
hold a primary why did you not pub
lish the pajHT exactly as they signed it?
Were you and are you not not now try
i ng to fake the people? The ieople of
my township think you are. Last
spring, when you were a candidate for
Congress, you carried my township,
one of the Jlcpublican stronghold of
the county, by a very handsome ma
jority. Tliis spring the votes that were
polled at your fake primary can lj
counted on the lingers of your two
hands. Next spring, w lien you are a
candidate for Congress again, those
who voted at your fake primary may
vote for you again, but I don't think
many others will. The people like fair
and honest dealing but are opoed to
fakirs, political and otherwise.

A Moaat&in Tragedy Beealled.
Mrs. Elizalieth Baiightnan expired at
the home of her son John, in Bmlhersval
ley township, on June i'sdi, iutheiiinety
fifth year of her age. "
The death ol this aged woman recalls a
mountain tragedy which occurred in
Elk Lick townships kUmU tho year lsi:i.
She was the widow of Heury Baiighm.iu,
a ilerman, who then lived near the top of
the Negro mountain, near one of the
roads leading to the Peck' settlement.
Baughnian was a rather intelligent man
Init somewhat hot tempered. One day in
April his cows which had lx-en turned
loose failed to come home, aud Baugh
tuan with two of his sons U and 12 years
old started out in search of them. When
they returned home that night the young
est son was not with his father an.) elder
brother, but Baughman in.iui.eil whether
August had c Jine home, saying that the
boys had run a race Thai Henry, the
older one, fell down, but that August
kept on running and that was the last he
had seen of him. When told that the l id
bad not, returned home Baughman did
uot seem much alarmed, and remarked
tbat tho boy must have gone to oue of the
neighbors aud would probably return in
the morning. But when he failed to re
turn search was made for him eventual
ly almost the entire township joining iu
tho bunt but without finding any trace
of the lost boy. People finally begun to
suspect that the lad had met with foul
play and ono day B iuglim in was placed
under arrest. It was noticed that he al
ways tried to keep the older boy from
talking much with the pooplo who were
engaged in the search.
After the arrest of the father an oppor
tunity was presented to question Henry
the older Isjy, who said thai his broth: r
become tired ami lagged Ishind, aud
that his father had Is-como very angry
and struck him a violent blow with a
cane or stick that ho had, the boy falling
to the ground and bltssl streaming from
his nose and mouth. The boy was sense
less and Baughman carried hiiu some
distance from the road and laid him be
tween two rocks and compelled Henry
to keep silent about the matter.
Searchers uuder the guidance of Henry
visited the place Isit fouud nothing of
the boy. Near by the ground seemed to
have been freshly dug up, but when tho
spot was carefully examined the body
was not there. Baughman was tried in
our courts before Judge Black for murder,
and was found guilty of manslaughter
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
eleven years and uine moutlts. He
served his senteuce and returned to his
family. He lived in Elk Lick for mauy
years and died there at au advanced age.
All his life be maintained that he did
not kill the boy and always said that he
would return home some day.
Iu the summer of lSiij part of a human
skeleton was found in a swampy place ou
the mountain perhaps it was a thicket
of laurel The skeleton was badly de
cayed, but was pronounced from what
was left as being that of a child of ten or
twelve years. The distance from where
the skeleton was found and where Baugh
man had carried the boy was about two
miles, aud it it now supposed that the
boy had not been actually killed by the
blow given him by his enraged father
that alter being left on the mountain top
ho regained consciousness and smarted to
reach some house, got lost in the thicket
and perished iu that way; that Baughman
had returned to the spot during the night
for the purpose of burying the body, aud
after digging a grave as was found he
failed to find the boy's body the lad hav
ing revived and left the spot.
