KurU, the enterprising Conflu ence planing-mill man, has decided to put in a water plant for his own and a few of his neighbors' convenience and safety. Some years ago Mr. Kurtz put in an electric light plant from which he supplies illumination for his own build ings, as well as the residences aud busi ness places of a large number of his neighbors. Men of Mr. Kurtz's enter prise and push are a benefit to any com munity. A big, burly white man who refused to give his name was lodged in jail Mon day afternoon, charged with carrying oncealed weapons and assault with in tent to kill. The prisoner had been about town for several days preceding his arrest in company with a paralytic, soliciting alms. Monday morning they secured a team ami drove to a house on the south side where the trouble arose. It is claimed that the prisoner is wanted by the police of ML Pleasant. Ferd, the thirteen-year-old son of George Snyder, met with a painful, if not fatal accident, Friday morning, at the large brick warehouse Cook & Beeritsare erecting near the railroad station. Young Snyder and Daniel Keller, whom he was assisting to unload a car of lumber, were passing the building when a plank that had become dislodged on the second floor came whirling through the air and striking the lad on the crown of the head with awftil force, knocked him down. He was rendered unconscious by the Mow and continued in that condition for several hours. The skin on bis head was unbroken, but it is thought that his skull waa fractured, and until the swell ing has subsided it will be impossible to tell the extent of the injury he sustained. At last accounts the young man was rest ing quietly and is thought to be out of danger. Work on the summer hotel on Tayman Hill has been going forward with a rush during the past week, from thirty to forty carpenters, or as many as could be profitably employed, being engaged in erecting the frame of the mammoth building, and on Saturday night the framework on the east and west wings and of the large dining room were all in position. Dozens of other workmen, masons and laborers were busy building piers for the various orticoes and grad ing the ground around the building. Dozens of teams, hauling timber, sand and lime, filled the roadway leading to the hotel. The contractors are making the best of the favorable building weath er, and if the elements continue favora ble for ten days, it is more than likely that the hotel will be under roof. Hundreds of visitors flocked to the new hotel on Sunday and viewed the work already accomplished. Now that the frame has been placed in position an idea can be formed of the immense size of the house. The hotel will be larger than four of the largest buildings iu the county combined. SOMERSET CflAl FIELDS. GREAT ACTIVITY MANIFESTED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. Benrind-White Plants Operated by Elee trieity aad Compressed Air. The Pick and If ale Keif gated to the Rear. A PROMISING FUTURE. Scalp Level and the adjacent territory is the scene of undoubtedly the greatest activity in Somerset county and the com ing three or four years will evolve a great change in the character ' of that region and in the character of the people, who for more than a hundred years have followed the peaceful pursuit of farming, apparently unconscious of the untold mineral wealth underlying the hills they tilled. The Hun, the Slav and the Austrian are already there in considerable num bers, and the number of foreigners will steadily increase uutil within the period mentioned ten thousand Europeans will make their homes along the valley of Paint creek, for a half-century a favorite resort of artists, attracted thither by the unsurpassed beauty of the landscape The young farmers of that region, who for so long a time have been content to follow in the footsteps of their fathers, will find new and more tempting avenues opening before them, and farming, so profitably followed by the denizens of that region, will gradually become a secondary consideration, as has been the case in every active mining regiou. The tranquillity of Scalp has been dis turbed throughout the summer, and for mouths past the roads leading to that re mote couutry town have been crowded with teams hauling machinery and goods to the new coal fields. Everything is bustle aud hurry and all of the ptople seem to be imbued with the idea that a new era has already dawned, and that iu the near future Paint township will be the mot densely populated and busiest district in Somerset county. AIH,l four years ago agents of the Borwind-White Coal Company, the larg est producers of bituminous coal in the United Stales, sout their agents iuto this couutyand shortly afterwards they be gan to secure options on the coal beds in the Scalp Level region. Later the op tions were lifted and additional coal rights were purchased outright, the cash being paid for the same in nearly all cases. To-day the Berwind-White people are the owners of more than thirty thousand acres of coal lands in this coun ty, representing a cash outlay of not less than fcy "0,000 distributed among the fann ers of the townships of Paint, Shade, Quemahoning and Jenner. All of the deeds for the same have been or are be ing recorded, and in all cases a perfect title has leen secured. With the vast bed of coal under their control, the next stop was to secure a rail road in order to convey it to tide-water. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company seized the opportunity to secure the im mense tonnage from the new field, and last spring set to work to exteud the South Fork branch of that systjui (Voiu Lovett to Scalp, a distance of twelve miles. The territory between Lovett aud Scalp is mountainous, and the engineers experienced considerable difficulty in runuinga line, but the obstacles iu the way were overcome and some six weeks ago the scream of the locomotive was first heard iu the valley of Paiut creek. The grade between Lovett and Scalp is so heavy that it requires two of the largest P. R It. engines to haul lo loaded cars be tween those points. This grade will be reduced, however, as the business of the road increases, and it will multiply itself very often in the course of few years. While the railroad was in course of construction the Berwind-White Com pany had a large force of men at work opening up drifts, erecting tipples and placing machinery in position to begin active operations, so that the day after the railroad rau under their tipples they were prepared to begin shipments. . At the present time the Company have five openings, all of lueiu in Somerset county. Two, now in ooration, are sit uated about three-quarters of a mile south-west of the town of Scalp, while the others are perhaps one mile south east of the village. Two switches, both double track, start immediately north of Scalp, running to each of the plants aud leaviugthe village in the mouth of the "Y." At the south-west opening a large en gine bouse, boiler bouse and other neces sary buildings have been erected. In the engine house are located immense electrical and compressed air plants. The openings are headed up by solid ma sonry such as is to he seeu at the pot tals of a railroad tunnel, while two tracks of heavy steel rails run into the mines. Over these tracks three electric motors glide, capable of hauling sixty loaded coal cars each from the beading to the tipple, with the swiftness of a trolley car, and spitting out bits of blue lightning at frequent in tervals as they dash iu and out of the opening. Back in the headings "diggers" operat ed by compressed air and directed by skillful miners are chopping away at the bottom of the four-foot seam of coal and kicking up as much dust as a whirlwind on a desert, while miners are "shooting" the coal above and shoveling it into cars. A contrast of the Barwind-White open ing at this point with local "coal mine," only a few rods away ia interesting. At the latter, coal is dug by a man lying on his back, and afterwards shoveled iuto a car and pushed out of the drift by main strength. Il is no wonder, therefore, that acrowd of people is t be found standing amino me portais oi me new uhuiuk in wide eyed amazement at the scene of activity before them, where coal is dug without picks aud hauled iuto the open air without the assistance of manor mule. Every piece of work being done in the new field is with an eye to the future, and as a result every article of labor-saving machinery known to mining has been, and is being introduced. An air of per manency surrounds the work, and build ings and machinery' are being built to withstand the demands of the future. The new town of Wiudber is located south-east or Sc ilp, beginning at a point about ldft) yards from the village and ex tending possibly a mile in that direction. The site selected for the town is a beauti ful one, lying on a bill gently rising from the bank of Paint creek to the crest of the bill, half-mile to the north. The site was overgown with virgin forest a few months ago and, with the exception of the streets which have been cleared, is studded with stumps to-day. A steam saw-mill played a prominent part in clearing the site of Windber, and as a re sult great piloa of sawed lumber are on the ground waiting to form parts of the bouses that will rapidly spring up there. At the present time only one dwelling bouse has been erected in the town of Windber, although one hundred lots have been disposed of and sales are be ing consummated daily. The bouses erected by the Coal Company referred to in tn is paper last week are located near the south-west mines, aud many of them are already occupied. The Company will erect its general offices and a Club House at the extreme south-east end of the town, where the railroad station will also be located. The engine bouse, electrical plant, etc., for operating the three mines in this section will also be located in the south-east seo tion, a great deal of the machinery for the same having already been delivered. In speaking of the outlook. Superin tendent Kiuilwll said to a Herald repre sentative that 500 hundred men would be given employment at tba mines in the course of a few months, as men are being aided as rapidly as room can be found for them to work, and that in the course of two years not less than 2,000 miners will be at work in the ininea already opened. The building of a towu such as Wind ber promises to be moans much to the people of Somerset county. )thr towns will spring up in the new coal region and the territory north and east of Somerset will bo greatly benefited in the way of a home market. Cambria, Fayette and Westmoreland conn ties have long been the scene of great mining activity, while the coal ldsof Somerset, a rich as any of tbem, have escaped attention and are only now beiug brought to the uoticeof capitalists. In addition to the holding of the Berwind-White Company, other large syndi cates have purchased immense tracts of Somerset county coal, and prospector are daily going over the county seeking investments, so that in a few years Sont erset couuty will be one of the busiest coal centres in Western Pennsylvania. In addition to the work being done in the north of the county all of the mines along t he S. A C. branch of the B. A O., are in active operation, the most noticea ble one beiug the Liatie Company, who during the past year has doubled its ca pacity, and is now employing 150 men, miners and laborers. A half-dozen new tenements are in course of erection at Lia- tie,and the side track running to the mines is being extended and the facilities for handling coal are being increased. Su perintendent George Krebs is figuring on purchasing an electric plant for the Listie mines, and if business continues to im prove as it has done during the past sum mer, the "Krebs Mine" will be operated by electrical power next season. Reports from the Meyersdale and Ber lin regions are of the most encouraging character. All of the mines in those fields are being operated, while new openings are being mado at Berlin and iucreased railroad facilities are promised the shippers at that place. If thd anticipations of the gentlemen engaged in developing Somerset county coal are realized, the population of the county will he greatly augmented before the next census is taken iu 1 '.. The present population of the county is about 40,000 and it is claimed that the popula tion will reach 00,000 in l'MO. With a large increase iu our population the couuty expenditures will grow iu many directions, but in none more rap idly than in the iucreased court business. Walker-Sehrock Wedding. The marriage of Charles Willard Walk er, Esq., aud Miss Susan Col born Schrock, in the Disciple Church, Wednesday after noon, was witnessed by a large company of invited guests. Miss Elsie Snyder presided at the organ and played three or four selections while the guests were as sembling. The ushers were Messrs. Geo. J. Krebs, A. L. G. Hay, Robert Beerits and Geo. W. Benford. The raised seats to the right of the pulpit, occupied by the Church choir, were reserved for theyouug ladies and gentlemen of the bride's and groom's social sou Pottod plants and autumn leaves played a prominent part iu the church decorations and were arranged with artistic skill. Six paws in front of the pulpit, marked by streamers of white ribbon, were occupied by relatives of the contracting parties. When the hour of one arrived there was a rustle of gowns iu the vestibule and a moment later the soft strains of the wedding inarch ascend ed from the organ. The groom, accom panied by his best man, Mr. John Bral lier, of Berlin, marched down the right able, while the bride, holding the arm of her father, and followed by the brides maid, Miss Helen Schrock, and Miss Edua Kimmel aud Master William Lam bert, as attendants, and two wee little relatives of the bride, Gladys Lambert aud Emily Kimmel, as flower girls, pro ceeded up the left aisle to the foot of the pulpit where they were met by the offi ciating clergyman. Elder William Mul- londore. After he bad placed his daught er's hand in the hand of the groom Mr. Schrock retired to a seat by the side of his wife. The ceremony was very pretty and impressive, aud at its conclusion the bridal party retired down the left aisle aud soon afterwards were driven to the home of the bride's parents, where a weddiug dinner was served to some eighty persons who had been invited to the house. Mr. and Mrs. Walker took the 3:40 train for Pittsburg, and from there proceeded to Chicago and other western cities. Upon their return they will occupy quarters at the Somerset House until the groom has erected a resi dence on Union Street. The bride re ceived a large number of handsome presents. Collector! Caa Appoint. A dispatch from Washington to the Philadelphia Press says: It is under stood that the department of justice through Assistant Attorney General Boyd has rendered an opinion that will be welcomed by collectors of internal revenue and United Slates marshals who desire to appoint their own deputies. The opinion is in the case of James T. Brady, collector of internal revenue of Virginia, who discharged the democratic deputy collectors in bis office as soon as he had been installed as collector. Collector Brady's action aioused a storm of protests and the democratic dep uties objected to giving up their good jobs. The matter was taken before Sec retary Gage, and the latter asked the de partment of justice for an opinion. The secretary himself seems to have little doubt as to the authority of a collector to remove deputies and appoint them at his pleasure. He has, in fact, written a letter sustaining Collector Brady in the latter's contention that as deputies are appointed by collectors and are responsible to the latter and the latter responsible for them, ho should have the privilege of choosing these officers himself. The secretary further holds that the coltectorahould not be compelled to select his deputies from au eligible list submit ted by the civil service commission. He says in his letter that in his opinion tha efficiency of the service would be inter fered with if the collet-tor was compelled to wait for an eligible list to be submitted before he could appoint bis deputies. It is reported that the assistant attor ney general holds that the tenure of a deputy collector or a deputy marshal rjns with that of bis chief, because it was by him that the appointment was made. .-Furthermore, the attorney-general holds that no official of the government can be compelled to do anything that is not expressly required of him by law. The President therefore, cannot prevent a collector of internal revenue from re moving men from office. This opinion lll; be. of great interest to collectors of internal revenue every where. -. - v f"' :-t If t. Xeriaa Xaraariaf . Mrs. Hiram Gardner has gane to Johnstown for a visit with friends.

Ewing and R. T. Stoner, counsel engaged by the Baker heirs' asso ciation to go to Philadelphia and investi gate the reports concerning the Immense fortune said to belong to the estate of Ja cob Baker, who diod near the beginning of the century, have returned borne. They were in Philadelphia three weeks, during which time they carefully examined the county aud city reconls. While refusing to discuss the matter be fore reporting to the asMiciation, from hints to various heirs living in Wilkins- burg the fabulous fortune of f Ml.uuO.tmO has gone glimmering, and it is said there was no foundation in fact for the story concerning Jacob Baker's dealings with the city of Philadelphia, and the property supposed to have been left to him. After the report became circulated, heirs began springing np in all parts of the country, and, to date, about 500 have turned up. HOT AS RKPORTED. Attorneys F. R. Stoner and R. M. Ew lug, of Pittsburg, who represented the Association of Baker Heirs in Its Invent! gation after millions of property supposed to have been left in Philadelphia by Peter Baker, on a W0 year lease, returned home the latter part of last week, but, as pub lished in a morning paper, did not state that the investigation was simply a frost. While their endeavors have not been crowned with the greatest of success, they have made several discoveries of an important character, and have left people working on the same in Philadelphia. Mr. Ewing said Monday that the ex animation had demonstrated to them that no lease had been left by Peter Baker in Philadelphia couuty. Whether or not it waa recorded in some other county is a question wliich can only le determined by a closer investigation. They found on the records many Jacob and Peter Bak ers, nearly all of whom had property. One of them owned property of consider able value in North Carolina. The at torneys are not through with this inves tigation by any means. They claim to have found the lease which Attorney Price reported. This lease, Mr. Ewing says, is one made July 15, ITali, by William Galatbau, a French man, to Saran liaker. it was only a small piece of grouud, 2.5 by tio feet, in Philadelphia, aud the lease further pro vided that in case Galalhan died outside of Pennsylvania the property was to be held in trust for Mrs. Baker's son, Henry Julian Baker. He said it was an indefi nite thing and amounted to very little. anyhow. Two other attorneys, representing the Baker association of Beaver county W. U. S. Thompson, of Pittsburg, aud Chas. It. Eckert, of Beaver couuty were work ing with them also. Beside the Philadel phia work, the attorneys examined rec ords in Montgomery, Delaware and Lan caster counties, 'nd Mr. Stoner went to Harrisburg aud Washington, D. C. They will probably go back to Philadelphia, and if the matter pans out as they expect, a legal fight will take place. Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette. Dangers of the Bicycle. Indianapolis News. To decide a wager made by an opponent of the bicycle that the wheel causes more casualties in one week thau foot ball does the entire season, the stakeholder obtained the following surprising figures from indisputable authorities.

Three sons were made beneficiaries to the extent of one-twenty-fourth each of the estate. Another son was given ten-twenty-fourths.

Shields, of PhiUipsburg, formerly a member of the Central Pennsylvania, now of the Baltimore M. E. conference. to fill one of the vacancies among army chaplains. Soon after he received a re quest from the President to resign. He refused to do so and now the President will request the Senate not to confirm the appointment. Rev. Shields is an eloquent preacher, of Irish birth. Until recently he was pas tor of the M. E. church at Martinsburg, Md., through some of whose leading members he received the presidential plum.

Of him it can be truly said. be left his loot-prints on the sands of time," being the inventor and patentee of a number of articles of valuable milling machinery that are now in successful use in all parts of the country. He gave, as it were, his whole li'e that others might reap the benefits of his ingenious spirit. and bad he been possessed of a robust constitution the huirl and clatter of busy w heels and hammers would be heard in our town to-day ic the well-known D.

Besides taking home treat ment he visited Philadelphia to receive the care of experts; he also spent the wiuter of 1-Ct !! in Colorado, but bis ef forts to find a cure proved continually unavailing.

On Sat unlay he suffered s second stroke of paralysis and did not rally from the shock.'

"Away With Melancholy, And bid dull care a vaunt," sounds very well in verse, but if you have a case of the "blues" caused by indigestion, with bilious less added on as an extra horror, you cannot say hey! presto! and thus in sure the departure of those abominable twins. The "proper caper" when thus trouble . is to seek the aid of Hosteller's Stouiaca Bitters. Thereafter you will speedily digest with ease and eat with appetite, and your liver will reassert its right to regularity. Not only this, you can retire without a horrible dreed that the Washington monument will in dreams impose itself upon the pit of yoor stomach. If you ft el premonitory symptoms of chills and fever, kidney trouble, or rheumatism, summon the Bit ters to the rescue without delay, "lest a worse thing: befall you." A foeble con dition of the system is more speedily changed to a vigorous one by this fine tonic than by any other medicinal agent in existeuce. A wineglassful three times day. fo'iticlaaa. From Mm I-aneatr fun'ilrer. There are few things more idiotic than the abuse that is heaped on a class of peo ple who take an interest in public affairs. and endeavor to make their views effect ive by latmring to have those who agree with them give effect to their view through the ballot box. They are called , "politicians," aud am abused without stint by sll ( ln l dirt thrower, from the penuy-a-liner of the pre to the pompous aud self-iuiportaot officeholder. who clings to a position be gained in all probability through the exertions and in fluence of the very class he affects to despise. There is no more useful and patriotic class of people thau the politi cians; nor is there any class of people more clearly entitled to the gratitude of their fellow citizens. It is true that many of them are not what they should be in all respects; bat this may be said of any class of people in the community There are the Business Men, a term very popular nowadays; they are a most useful class of citizens; but it would be easy to point out that many of tbem are no more remarkable for integrity and unselfish ness than the active politicians are. So of any other class of people whom we might name doctors, lawyers, clergy men or teachers all contain men to whom exceptions can be made; but they are not to be judged in this way but by the fact that hey pursues business which in itself is useful and in no way calculat ed to injure or destroy the character of those who follow it. Our experience in the field of politics leads us to the belief that there is no class of men actively engaged in the affairs of life whose word ran be more safely relied upon than those who are known as poli ticians; nor any who are moie ready and willing to do a generous and unselfish action. We say this w i.h a full knowl edge of the bitter hostility that has beeu aroused against tbem as a class ; but also with a knowledge of the facts that will sustain our statement. And yet the press teems with abuse of this class ot citizens, and the pulpit echoes and aauctifies it. From one end oftheNyition to the other "a mere poli tician" is held up to the contempt of the community until some well disponed people are really induced to believe that a politician is a very bad man and un worthy of the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens. A little serious reflection ought to con vince any intelligent man that such an impressiou is totally false. If a man takes an interest in public affairs, does his bt to have the voters who agree with. him turn out aud vote their prefer ence at the elections, and busies himself in seeing that the issues there decided are fully set forth before the people he is a politician. That there is in this any reason for regarding him as au un worthy man is one of the delusions of the day. Twelve Priests Form a G. &. TL Poet.
