Up, away miles up in the rugged fast nessesof Laurel Hill, there are bushels of blackberries hanging there to burn in the sunlight Many of the people are reap ing a harvest by gathering the abundant crop. After canning and dryiug all tbey can use, the next step is that of making wine. Wine, good old blackberry wiue, is in every household. Old Bill Pritta has barrels of it laid up on the shelf for bad colds and aore feet. Whenever he gets a bad cold in winter he takes a pint of his six-year old stuff, makes it warm, puts in a pinch of grated nutmeg and tonses it off. After a half hour by the btnve to warm, he repeats the dose and then retires to get up in the morning fit to hold his Winchester as steady as in a vise. Old Bill has a record for making 'blackberry' which the old Falariao vint ners might well have envied. His prod- act is smooth ; so smooth and easy that a vast amount of it can be taken without leaving any bad results in the dawning of the morniug. His blackberry 'article' has a high standing in the gold-crested circles of Pittsburg's iuu. It Is said that it suits the crests of so many of those peo ple that tbey send vast caravans on foot to Old Bill's retreat in order to get tbe genuine stuff for their winter's comfort. For lack of manhood, energy or back bone, nothing is better. In fact, many of tbe city dudes have got onto its qualities and are using it In hot seasons to stop the rush of brains to their heads. Old Bill Pritts has done some very bad things in his time, but it might be that all the bad he has done will be balanced up by the good wir.e he makes and transports to the temples of BanctMM.

Geu. Colfrolh's farmer. William Barnhart, is loser to tbe extent of a valuable horse and a lot of wheat There is no doubt about the fire having been incendiary and so well had the fire bug platiued bis work that tbe barn be- came a mawt ( names in an Instant and burned wilti such fury that the efforts of the fire couipauies to check its progress were of no etJect The fire companies responded prompt ly to the alarm and were instrumental in saving the buildings adjoining the barn. About one half of the town's population witnessed tbe destruction. Three bams built by Gen. Coffroth on the same plot of ground have been de stroyed by fire during the past six or seven years. I u every case the fire was the work of incediaries. Tbe larn destroyed Friday morning was erected two summers ago and was a model of neatness and convenience. Competent judges have declared it to be tbe finest building of the kind iu Somer set county. A ITEM FT TO BCRX THIS KSEPPKR BLOCK. An hour or two after the people who bad been called from tbeir beds by tbe burning of Geo. Colfroth's barn Friday morniug bad again retired tbey were startled by a second alarm of die. Persons early abroad discovered smoke issuing from tbe store room of Mrs. A. E. Uhl and raised an alarm which was promptly responded to by the fire companies. A lot of smouldering newspapers were dis covered slowly burning between the cel- ler oei'iug and floor a'wve and in a few minutes more would have fired the build ing. There is every reason to believe that the papers were placed in the posi tion where found and set on fire by in cendiaries. This is the second attempt that has been made to burn tbe same building within a year. Winibor, a Hew Someriet County Towa.

The Somerset and Meyersdale ball teams came together on the home grounds Saturday afternoon in the pres euoe of the Urgent crowd that has assem bled there this season. Roth teams were strengthened by foreign players and it was a toss up as to which was the stron ger. Meyersdale played Stratton and Metz, a Cumberland battery, while Som erset bad two Uuiontown players in ad dition to tbeir usual team. Neither side scored in the first three innings, but in the fourth Meyerstlale mmiii1ih1 out two runs and Somerset one Somerset scored one iu the fifth and two in the sixth, making tbe score four to two in tbeir favor. In the seveuth the first three batters up for tbe home team were retired, while Meyersdale scored twice, owing to inexcusable blunders. Swin dell threw the ball to second, when Mc Crelght was playing half-way up the line to first, allowing a runne.- to score. The fourth run resulted from an ill-timed throw of Murpby'a, who struck a runner at third with the ball. With the score tied. Meyersdale saw their opportunity to quit eveu and left the field. The abrupt termination of the game was due to several causes, chief of which was tbe weak condition of Strat ton. Every induceuieut was olfured the visitors to finish tbe game but none of tbem were accepted. Intense excitement prevailed through out the seven innings. Nearly every de cision of Umpire Kooser was disputed by the visitors, while the home team charg ed hiiu with showing partiality to the "M els." No blood was spilled, however. Tbe visitors claimed they cou.d not complete the game iu time to return to the hotel aud exchange their uniforms for their street garmeuts before the ar rival of the southbound train; but this excuse, coming as it did from goutlemen who appeared in the hotel dining room in uniform, and, who afterwards paraded tbe streets iu the same costumes, was unacceptable to the "Maroons."

For the information of Grand Army men and old soldiers generally. Adjutant' General Stewart has prepared a circular concerning the dedication of the Penn sylvania monuments and tablets ou the battlefield of the Chickamaugua-Chatta-nooga campaign. Tbe last legislature passed a bill appropriating JJI.OuO to transport to the battlefields the surviving honorably discharged soldiers of the Pennsylvania organizations whose names wereborne upon tbe rolls at the date on which the organizations were engaged in tbe various battles at and near Chatta nooga in September and November, lstkl. The act requires that the Adjutant General is to provide transportation for the old soldiers, to cover the distance from tbe railway station in Pennsylva nia nearest to which such soldier lives. to Chattanooga aud return. Tbe soldiers will have tbe privilege of remaining at Chattauoega not less than five days. General Stewart estimates that there are between l.OiiO and 1,200 veterans who are entitled to free transportation, and has set to work to secure tbeir names and addresses. Governor Hastings has de signated October 11 as Pennsylvania Day, at which time the monuments will be dedicated. The organizations which participated in these battles are the Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth, Forty sixth, Seventy-fifth. Seventy-seventh, Seventy-eightb,Seventy-uinth,Oae Hun dred and Eleventh and One Hundred aud Forty-seventh, Regiments of Infant ry; tbe Seventh, Ninth and Fifteenth Regiments of Cavalry, Mutchler's Inde pendent Battery E, Light Infantry. No transportation will be furnished from points ouside of the state, and all applications for transportation must be ou file in the office of the Adjutant Gen eral not later lhau Sept 15. The following rules governing trans portation have been prepared: The value of the transportation will not be given in money in place of the order for transpor tation. Transportation used by any oth er than the person iu whose name aud for whose use it was issued will render the person improperly using it liable to a fine of flOOorsix months' imprisonment. Tbe Adjutant General is not authorized to provide any allowances of any kind for subsistence or any other expenses. Transportation will be good on auy regu lar train either way, except limited trains. So far as we are able to learn. Cbas. II. Fisher, of Fisher's Book Store who was a member of Co. B, 4tith Reg. Pa.

Edmund Bender, Formerly of Stoyeetows, Diet from an Overdoes of Xorphia. Edmund Bender, employed as a mould er in tbe Johnson Company shops at Moxbam, is alleged to have committed suicide Friday uight, at the Mansion House, opposite tbe B. X O. station, iu Johnstown. Bender was iu tbe business rs r: ion of Johustow n all il.iy Fiid.iv and alx.ut 5:1) o'clock went to Gritlith's drutf atuie aud asked for ten ceiiU' worth ol morphine. He waa under the iullueuce of liquor aud was refused the drug. He then left and evidently secured tbe poison at another drug store, though he is known to have visited several places without success. About ":. o'clock he entered tbe bar room at the Mansion House and asked the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender granted the request, and Ben der immediately poured the drug into the tumbler and drank the contents. He asked some persons soon after he drank tbe drug to escort him to a lounge in an Oklahoma, back of the hotel. After be had been placed on the lounge a few hours be was noticed to Is) breathing heavily, and Drs. E. L. Miller and Johu It Lowmaii were sent for, but before they arrived at H:lii o'clock. Bender was dead. The body was conveyed to the late home of the deceased. Corouer Frank J. Liv ingston, of Salix, was notified of tbe sud den death by Dr. E. I Miller. After learning tbe maimer in which Beuder died, the Coroner said be would not hold an inquest unless the relatives of Bender requested it. Tbe remains were taken to Sioyestown on the 8:.'i0 train Sunday morning for in terment which w ill be made iu the Odd Fellows' Cemetery at that place. Edmund Bender was lioru about forty- five years ago in Stoyeslow n, where be fcpeut bis boyhood days. He was a sou of Joseph Beuder, who resides in Johns town, his mother being dead. He was a brother of Mrs. Pierce Miller, Mrs. Frank Taylor, Mrs. Pembert Thompson, and Cornelius Bender, of Sioyestown. and John Bender, of Johnstown, Bender was married alsmt twenty years ago to Lydia Pen rod, a daughter of the late Norman B. Penrod. She was also Lorn and raised in Stoyrs:ow n. He leaves no children. Tbe cause for taking his life is thought to hove been the fact that ho was out of work and was short of money. Iteuder's relatives claim be did not commit suicide. Tbey say that he bad been drinking for some time and was trying to sober up, and took the mor phine to help work off the effects of the intoxicants. Tbe Bational Pike. It is not generally known that tbe late session of tbe legislature passed an act relating to the old pike. As ouly Fayette and Washington couutios keep up tho pike by tolls collected under slate control, and no one here seems to know anything about it the a-t probably was introduced from Washington coun ty. The pike in Fayette county Is in good condition, especially betweeu I'niontow n ud Fariuingtou. In tbe Jockey hollow section a great amount of limber hauling has Iteen done, which, after recent raius, cut the road up considerably. But on the w hole the old pike has nothing to complain of in its treatment so far as Fayette county is concerned. But so much cannot be said of Somerset A few years ago an act was snaked through the legislature abolishing till gates in that county and puttiug the pike under town ship supervision. The result is that no tolls are collected or applied in that coun ty and the road is going down. Il Is espe cially bad beyond Petersburg. Somerset county people ought to take more pride in keeping up tbe old pike. The road in Maryland ia also much neglected, ac cording to the Uoioutown "News-Stan dard." On the whole, it is to be regretted that this famous old highway ever passed out of tbe coutrol of the federal government Congress should havo retained jurisdic tion over it and extended it to tbe Missis sippi, or even to tbe Rocky mountains. Not only might it become useful some time as a great military highway, but it would have been a source of national pride as the American Appian way, and would have Issen a constant inceu live to the building of g sxl country roads. Uudertheact ceding control to tbe slates, congress may resume control at any time. Tbe Boy Will Hot Talk. As was noted in Tbe Star of last Satur day, several boys of this city went on an exploring expedition to Holla's Cave. On their leturu tbey all had the same story to tell, but since this story has been de nied, and several others sulntituted, so it seems there is some mystery alsmt it These young gentlemen may be seen conversing in confidential tones in vari ous parts of tbe city, aud wheu one ap proaches tbey become quiet and when asked about it they say they were in the cave alsut2uo yards aud that tbe report of its once being inhabited is all a "fake." While tbe writer was with one of the explorers, who was making a purchase. he chauced to see some gold coins in his hand with some other change. Several remarks were passed concerning it but wheu asked to see tbem, ho llatly refus ed. In one of tbeir conversations tbey were heard to speak of an opening that was almost concealed by vines and rocks. This it seems Is the main entrauce to Hol la's cave. Tbe boys sre very close inoulhed about it and no satisfaction ran be gained by questioning them. Old Roll a, the bandit is supposed to have biddeu large sinus of money in this neighborhood, which be stole from cattle drovers ou their way west to buy cattle, and many of them have disappeared be tween Somerset and lit Pleasant, and have never been beard of again. Holla's cabin is situated not far from this cave, and many parlies have searched it until it is almost eutirely excavaUd. Tbe cave is situated iu one of the wildest re gions of the Chestnut Ridge and oue may search within hundred yards of it for a whole day and never find it Ml Pleas ant Star. A Hew Duty. A section of the new law passed by the Leglshture establishing a Bureau of Mines iu the Department of Iuternal Af fairs imposes a new duty upon Mine In spectors. Tbe section is as follows: "Tbe Mine Inspector of each district of this State shall, within six months after tbe final passage and approval of this act deposit in the Bureau of Mines an accu rate map or plan of such coal mines, which may be on tracing muslin or sun print drawn to a prescribed scale, which map or plan shall show tbe actual loca tion of all openings, excavations, shafts. tunnels, slopes, planes, main headings and rooms or working places in each strata operated, pumps, fans or other ventilating apparatus, tbe entire course and direction of air currents, tbe rela tion and proximity of the workings of such coal lands, and the relative eleva tion of all tunnels and headings aud ot tbe face of working places near to or ap proaching boundary lines or adjacent mines, and, on and before the close of each calendar year, transmit to the Chief of the Bureau of Mines a supplemental map or plan showing all excavations, changes and additions made in such mine duriug the year, drawn to tbe scale as the first uieulioned map or plaus to be and reiuaiu iu the Bureau of Mines as a part of the records of that office."
