Mr. H. KurU, the enterprising Conflu

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.

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.

Baker Fortune Xytn.
The Pittsburg Sunday Dispatch says
Attorneys R. M. 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.

Attorneys F. R. Stoner and R. M. Ew

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.

Two other attorneys, representing the
Baker association of Beaver county W.

ords in Montgomery, Delaware and Lan

Harrisburg aud Washington, D. C. They
will probably go back to Philadelphia,

Wea $500,000 by Hypnotism.
A contest has arisen at Canton, On over
the will of Thomas R. Morgan, whose es
tate is placed at something over $1,000,000.
Three sons were made beneficiaries to the
extent of one-twenty-fourth each of the
estate. Another son was given ten-twenty-fourths.
"
It is charged by the three sons and
other heirs that the favored son uced
some hypnotic influence over Mr. Mor
gan, which iudueed hiiu to give him
more than bis legal share. It is known
that the sou favored has frequently ex
ercised mesmeric power over the others.
and the contestants of the will set up the
claim that such power was used on the
decedent.
Morgan and President McKinley were
intiiate friends. The President was
about to make public an appointment to
a consulate for which Mr. Morgan had
been ctxisen when death suddenly came.

He Will Hot Eeeign.
Some time ago President McKinley
sent to the Senate the name of Rev. David
11. 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. Some of the leading clergymen
and laymen opposed the appointment.
and charges against the reverend gentle
man's character were preferred. After
an investigation President McKinley
called for t he resignation.

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.
