on patents. Mr. Hicks had hoped to be
named for the chairmauship of the in
valid pension committee, where he could
have been of more dire. service to his

genial gentleman and a scholar.
John Henry Snyder, of Dayton, Ohio,
is here on his auuual vacatiou, having
arrived Monday morning. Like all
other boys w ho have gone out from this
town Mr. Snyder keeps a place warm in
bis heart for the friends of his youth.
His attachment for Somerset, however,
is possibly stronger than that of many
others, since it was his grandfather who,
at the time the town was incorporated,
was tbe owner of tbe greater portion of
the ground on which Somerset is at pres
ent locate. I.
Prof. O. O. Saylor, who was recently
re-elected priucipal of the 1 lock w ood
public schools, has resigned that posi
tion, owing to bis having passed the ex
amination for Grammar School teachers
in New York City. Although he has
not yet received an appointment in New
Y'ork he expects to do so before the begin
ning of the next school term, as the cus
tom in that city is to only pass as many
tea. hers as can lie employe.!. The va
cancy at Kockwotxl has been filled by the
Mrs. Abner McKinley, who arrived
from Washington, Sunday night, ex
pected to have the President and bis wife
for traveling companions and later as
her guests for a short visit. Tbe Presi
dent had completed all of bis arrange
ments to come to Somerset on Friday,
but tbe delay in passing tbe tariff bill,
rendered his presence in Washington ab
solutely necessary, until to-day, when he
leaves for Lake Champlain. The Presi
dent and Mrs. McKinley will come to
Somerset later in the season.
M. J. Black, of Meyersdale. has resign
ed his position as postal route agent, and
will remove to Somerset, where he has
purchased the gentlemens' furnishing
store of the late W. B. Benuer. M r.
Black b is also been appointed agent for
the Western I'nion Telegraph Company
at this place and took charge of the otlioe
Monday morning. The telegraph offi je
is located in his store. Harry Neff, who
has had charge of tbe ollice since the
death of Mr. Benner has gone to Pitta
burg, where he has secured employment
iu tbe Western Union office.
A movement is on foot looking towards
the paving of Main Cross Street from the
Court House to the public square with
fire brick, and it is claimed that a ma
jority of the property owner along the
block mentioned have signified tbeir
willingness to bear their proportionate
share of the expense incurred. It is pro
posed to undertake the work this fall.
Should this improvement be made town
council will pave the public square with
fire brick next spring, and with thesUrt
thus made ouly a few years should elapse
before the principal streets of the town
are paved.
Interest in the hotel projected for Tay
mau Hill has been revived during tbe
past few days. The directors of the Com
pany have had the grounds surrounding
tbe plot reserved for the hotel platted
and about forty of them have been sold
conditionally, a number of young men
about town being among tbe purcnasers.
The conditions, it is reported, are that
e.ch lot purchaser agrees to pay flow
u.sin the letting of the contract for
the hotel, aud the balance iu four
aunual installments upon completion
of the structure. Tbe lots range in
price from f to and are 127 in
number. The money raises! by this
means will euoourage tbe members of
tbe Company to subscribe the additional
m ney required to erect the hotel and
furnish it tor the entertainment of guests.
The plan is altogether feasible and there
is an earnest desire on the part of the
people of Somerset that it should suc
ceed. The lots referred to are all delight
f illy situated aud will make a desirable
a Id it ion to Somerset.
Mr. Albert J. Keim aud Judge W. S.
Bourne, of Beatrice, Nebraska, were
visiting with Somerset friends several
days last week. The former is an Elk
Lick boy who removed to the West some
twenty years ago, and has since become
prominent in politics in bis adopted
slate. He served two terms as clerk of
tbe courts of Gage county, and is the
present U. S. Marshal of Nebraska, be
ing oue of the first appointments made
by President McKinley. Judge Bourne
presided over the various courts of bis
county for two terms and is reported to
be slated for the next U. K. District At
torneyship of Nebraska, The Judge
bears a striking resemblance to W. J.
Bryan and was f.-equeutly mistaken for
th.t distinguished advocate of tbe free
and unlimited coinage of silver during
his recent visit east. He, however, is an
uncompromising Republican and one of
Senator Thurston's trusted lieutenants.
This was tho Judge's first visit east and
to tbe mountains and after taking in
copious draughts of tbe invigorating
mountain air he expressed surprise lliat
so many Somerset county people emi
grate to the prairies of tbe west.

Daniel Keller, the well kimwu lumber
man of this place, had a miraculous es
cape from an awful death a few days ag.x.
He was hauling lumber from a mill eight
miles west of town to tbe railroad station
in this place, and while coming down a
bill alighted from the wagon containing
some l.soo feet of sawed lumber for the
purpose of releasing the brake. He
accideutly tripped on a stone aud was
thrown under the wheels. Wilh great
presence ot mind be called upon the four
well trained horses to "whoa," when
they came immediately to a standstill,
but not until one of tho rear wheels was
firmly lodged between the luckless dri
ver's breast and shoulder, holding him
firmly to the ground. Mr. Keller
screamed at tbe top of bis voice for help,
and three men working in a neighboring
field responded to his repeated calls. The
men, however, were u liable to move the
wagon, and they were compelled to go
for assistance. Iu a short time two ad
ditional men were brought to the scene,
and with tbe united strength of five
stalwart men the heavy wagon was
pushed back and Mr. Keller was re
leased. Although no bones were broken,
he has since had no use of his left arm,
the member being affected as though
stricken by paralysis.

plems court of Somerset county, the lower
court is reversed. Tbe defendants lost
the suit iu the lower court, which is an
action to recover (lid.ll for wages, de

partially by mouey and the rest by goods.
He sought to recover that amount as was
paid by goods, less $.17.14, allowed for

cided in 1W, it was held that the act of
lHsl, so far as it applied to the matter now
under consideration, was utterly uncon
stitutional, the court saying: "The act
is an infringement alike of the right of
the employer and tbe employe ; more
than this, it is an insulting attempt to
put the laborer under a legislative tutel
age, which is not only degrading to his
manhood, but subversive of his rights as
a citizeu of tbe United States."
The reserved point. Judge Wick man
continues, we must look for tbe control
ling fads: "That monthly statements of
the account of tbe plaintiff, in tbe store,
were rendered by the defendants to the
plaintiff, showing that the balance owiug
the plaintiff each mouth, after deducting
bills for coal, oil and smelting, etc., aud
bills for goods purchased in tbe store,
was paid by him, that be accepted the
balance in cash, and made no objections
to the monthly accounts so rendered to
him."
This wan equivoleut to a finding of fact
that the settlement embraced every
mouth of the employment. No objection
was made by the plaintiff's counsel to
tbe facts as stated iu this poiut. We are
therefore compelled to go a little further
than tbe learned judge of tbe court be
low, who confined tbe plaintiff's recovery
to the wages of tbe last two months of his
employment, and hold that he is entitled
to judgment to any amount whatsoever.
It is sufficiently shown that the under
standing between the plaintiff and the
defendant was that the goods furnished
him were received ou account of his
wages.

From the Meyenslalo Commercial.
A great many of tbe older readers of
tbe Commercial will possibly remember
Henry 11 auger who lived aud died near
Pine Hill some twenty or thirty years
ago. He was one of nine children (7
Is.ys and 2 girls) w ho w ere tbe offspring
of John Hanger who came from Ger
many alroul 177.1. Those children scatter
ed; one of the sons, Daniel, moved to
Wayne county. Mich., and lbs olheis
scattered over various parts of tbe coun
ty of which the Hangers in Somerset
county aro the direct dutccudaula.
Henry had six children : Daniel who
died iu Somerset some five years ago,
Samuel who died at Berkley's 7 years
ago and Jacob who moved to Michigan
to his un.-le Daniel. Lydia now widow of
Win. Walker deceased, Catharine wife of
Ezra Berkley of Berkleys Mill and Peg
gy, demented.
Jacob lived near Vermonticollo, Mich.,
and had four children. In KQ Jacob
got the gold fever and wont to California
leaving his wife and small children at
homeoii the farm. After accumulating
some property aud money he wrote his
wife that he inteuded coming home, but
ouaccouutof the war (this was in 'ii)
bis wife thought best for him not to re
turn just then on account of the perils
and loneliness along the road. Commu
nication was interrupted until ISisi when
they again communicated for sometime,
finally ho wrote that he was coming home
just as soon as he could arrange his finan
cial matters, which would require ouly a
few weeks. This was the last they heard
from him until a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Hauger (for they changed their
name to conform with the English pro
nunciation whon tbey moved to Mich
igan) finally after wailiug for many
years aud thinking ho was dead married
again. Both she aud her husband have
lung since been dead. One of the chil
dren is also dead, but the three remain
ing cbildreu continued to hope that some
day their father would come back al
though there had beeu a firm belief that
be was murdered for bis money ou his
way lack home by a chum of his.
Two years ago Daniel S. Hauger a
cousin of theirs who used to be employed
iu the Commercial aud who is now study
ing medicine iu Chicago, interested him
self in trying to locate or obtain some in
formation about Mr. Hauger but nothing
was beard of him until a lew weeks ago,
when the postmaster at Vermonticollo,
Mich., received a letter asking if he knew
any II augers living there ; the result was
the happy reunion of tho surviving chil
dren aud father iu a few weeks after tbe
absence of the father for 3S years.
It seems that Mr. Hauger was injured
on the head a 'id about tbe time he was
going to returu he lost his mind and he
wandered from one place to tho other
forgetting all, but of late years his reason
again returned so that he can recollect a
great many things and tho result was he
began to look up bis children. Ho re
turned ou July 5, au old man gray but
very feappy that bo should be able to see
bis children again. Mr. Huger was
married to a Miss Betz of Jennertown,
Somerset county. Pa., aud no doubt this
news will interest thom also.

"Maroons" Wis Three Oat ef Four Games
Flayed This Beaton.
One l the prettiest and decidedly the
most Intel OMiiug game of ball ever play
ed in the county was that ltween the
"Manstus" and Berlin, on lb grounds of
the ItUlcr on Wednesday. The "Ma
roons" w ere first to I lie bat and knocked
out four runs in the first inning. Thry
were givsc-eggei in tho follow ing eiht.
Berlin s'-ored one in th linn and v ere
retired in the sixth, seventh and einhlh,
but in the ninth fought bard to win a
victory. Tbe first two men up reached
first, tbe third flow out to left; Hall fol
lowed with a two lggor bringing in two
runs; the fifth Ixtttor up flew out to right
and the sixth was struck out. During
all this time the wildest excitement pre
vailed, the Berlioers encouraging their
cam with prolonged cheers, while the
Somerset "rooters" were shaking in their
boots. When Swindell struck out the
tbe third man and the game was won for
Somerset, the excitement was indescrib
able. Both teams were in excellent form and
only live errors occurred in tho entire
nine innings. The score follows:

NOTES.
Swindell will be in the box for the
Johnstown Athletics next Saturday in
tbe third and last game of the series
between tbe Athletics and Patton for the
championship of Cambria couuty.
Johnstown won tho first aud Patlon the
second game.
The "Maroons" and Ixnaconing will
play on the home grounds to-morrow af
ternoon. The game will be interesting.
Swindell was presented with a tsniiet
and given three rousing cheers w hen he
stepped into the box Thursday.
Tbe "Maroons" continue to pound out
victories. Yesterday afternoon at Rock
wood they defeated a team made up of
"cracker-jacks" from Cumberland, Mey
ersdale aud Berlin, by a score of 6 to i
Swicdell and Murphy, and Overdorf aud
Hall were the batteries.
I'p to date the "Maroons have suffered
only oue defeat, having defeated every
thing tbey have goue against except the
first game with Berlin.
The Metropolis wants to either get in
tho push or off ihe beach.
A number of Somerset cranks will take
in tbe game at Johnstown on Saturday.
