that his arrest will follow.

Two rival organizations, one composed
of home people and the other of Somer
set capitalists, are seeking the electric
light franchise of Berlin, and it is said
that w hichever wins out the town will
have a well-equipped plant as soon as it
can be erected. The spirit of enterprise
seems to be abroad in tbo ancient village,
since it is to have a Xationsl Bank, elec
tric light and a public water supply; the
last named enterprise was agitated some
time ago, and after passing from view for
a period is about to Vie revived. Berlin
is in the heart of one of the richest coal
regions in Pennsylvania and no good
reason can be advanced why she should
not have everything in the way of muni
cipal improvements her citizens desire.

no much so, tbat he has refrained from

eight weeks ago. Mr. Baush formerly

A Dangerous Practice.
Tbe Herald has been asked to call at
tention to a dangerous practice that ex
ists in several of the schools in this
place, and possibly in other schools in
the county: the practice of teachers
gathering up the lead and slate pencils in
a common receptacle every eveuiug and
distributing them indiscriminately
among the pupils next morning. Chil
dren and many grown peoplo havea hab
it of moistening pencils by placing them
between their lips, and physicians say
there is no letter way to distribute dis
ease geruis than by this very practice,
Tbe spread of diphtheria in different
places has been attributed to the cause
complained of. Teachers aud parents
can not exercise too great care in guard
ing against this means of spreading dis
ease, r.n l iu seu.xds w here pencils are
gathered up in the evening they should
be sterilized in hot wtcr before lwiug
returned to the children next morning.
The practice complained of is a vicious
one, but perhaps tbe free-text book law-
is to be blamed for iU
A Flourishing Organization.
At the annual meeting of tbe stock
holders of the Bare H.x k Railroad Com
pany held at Johnstown last week, Mr.
John H. Fox. of this place was re-elected
a director. R. L. Fox was also re-elected
a dim-tor of tbe Somerset Stone Com
pany at the same time. The Somerset
Stone Company is one of the most pro
gressive and prosperous organizations in
tbe county, giving employment from
early last April until the present time to
lielwc-en MO aud bX) workmen, a majority
of them being skilled stonemasons. Dur
ing the period mentioned the Company
has shipped on an average ' cars of stone
per day, mostly building and bridge
stone of large dimensions. Tbe earnings
of the Company under the wise direction
of President John M.I unlock, of Johns
town, have iu a great measure been de
voted to betterments and permanent im
provements. The quarry, four miles
south of Somerset, is one of the scenes of
greatest activity in the county. Four
steam drills bore iuto tbo solid rock,
facilitating splitting it into various sizes
and weights, while as many huge steam
derricks hoist tbe dressed and undressed
rock on to tbe cars. The supply of rock
owned by tbe Company is of excellent
quality and well-nigh inexhaustible.
Tbe company operates its own railroad,
connecting the quarry with the B. AO.,
a distance of four miles. Xext season
promises to witness larger operations
than ever liefore at tbe quarry.

of Christian Yodur, of I'.lk

ship were given HutrtlnnlUUy as bdd by
that gentleman.
Xow ooiu Mr. C. J. Voder, Jr., of Rlk
Lick township, w ho writes as follows in
the Commercial:
"The good old gentleman, Christian Vo
der, Sr , positively is no member of tbe
Mennonito church or a branch thereof.
Ho was dismissed in 1M13, for misconduct;
(I will not name here w hat it was,) but ho
still wears the iiuiform and is thereby in
truding on the brunch if the Meunonite
church, ( ..ailed Auiib;be formerly lie
longed to, by still waring tbo uniform
and thereby niisleaaKg the opinions of
many, who taka it for granted tbat lieatill
upholds his former faith by bis outward'
ly appearance.
The cases are rare, if any, in the history
of our country, that two lirethren lelong
ing to the Meunonite church, or a branch
thereof, would go to court to settle any
disputes in any way, shape or form. The
way they settle disputes and the only
way is by an arbitration of Uireo men
(members in good standing) or In tbe con
gregulion, such as the case may bo. But
after a member is dismissed for somo
time, and makes uo effort to repent, leai
a bettor life aud uuite again wilh the
church, he is no more a member of the
Menuonite church or a branch thereof,
thsn Charley Lew is or any one of similar
character.
Therefore, Eli Yoder had a right to go
to court w ith his father under the circuni
sunces, but still it would have been more
lirotherly-like could they have settled it
outside of court
I was bom and reared within one-half
mile of Mr. Voder's anil know him for

talking about, and am rei ly to subi'.au

A Progressive BasintM Firm.
The ever increasing volume of business
done by the well-known firm of Cook
A Beerits has necessitated the erectiou of
a large warohouse, opened last week, one
square south of the S. A C. station. The
three-story brick building, s52xj is one
of the most substantially constructed and
beit equipped warehouses to be fouud in
western Pennsylvania, and air ady much
of the floor space has been called into
requisition. The structure was erected
with a view to reudering it fire proof, the
doors and windows being shielded by
iron shutters. Iu the cemented cellar,
where potatoes and other vegetables are
stored, an O'Douell hydraulic elevator
has )een placed, capable of hoisting
several thousand pounds of grain or
other merchandise to the ll.iors abovo.
A hopper capable of holding 00 or more
bushels of grain, and moving about on a
truck, enables the warehouseman to load
or unload a car of graiu in less liuio than
formerly it could have beeu doue by six
men. On the first lloor ten or twelve car
loiids of baled hay, several of salt, a
number of Hour aud feed, are now stored,
and floor spaca enough remains iu the
building to store from 125 to 1.50 addi
tional car loads. The second and third
floors will be devoted exclusively to stor
ing grain and corn, which will bo loaded
ou the cars by a system of chutes. On
the first lloor a well arranged office has
been fitted up for the use of tbo ware
houseman, William Ferner. Two pairs
of scales, one located immediately out
side of the receiving door aud the other
on the first lloor of tbe building, con
venient for the reception of gooda from
cars and from tho elevator, render every
convenience that can be desired in this
respect. Inside of tbe next ten days a
telephone counectiug the business office
of the firm wilh the warehouse will bo in
operation. The building is slate roofed
and will be illuminated by electricity.
In addition to the warehouse mention
ed, Messrs. Cook A Beerits have a large
aud commodious building, devoted ex
clusively to storing merchandise, adjoiu
iug their store room, but its capacity has
beeu overtaxed for a number of years
past. The uew building, in addition to
supplying them with much needed facili
ties for transacting their larg? business,
will save tbe rehandliug of goods and ex
pense of 1 raying.
Tho great suo-esss that has attended
this enterprising firm is a matter of pride
to the peoplo of Somerset ciunty, who
are justly proud of every legitimate bus
iness tbat. tends to develop local com
merce, aud to bring us in closer contact
with commercial centres.
During the past two or three years Mr.
Robert Beerits, son of tbe junior partner,
has taken an a.;tivo part la conducting
the affairs of tho firm.
Ntw Switches Placed.
Connections have been made to the new
warehouse of W. K. Gillespie, wholesale
griK-er, now at 444-lfi Seventh Ave., Pitts
burg, Pa. By this means, when occu
pied, the new home, Duquesne Way and
9:h St., will afford tbe greatest iscility
for tho handling of an immense business.
Wolf Chased Oat of This County.
"You said tbat wolves were extinct in
Pennsylvania, and you wouldn't pay me
f 10 bounty for the scalp I sent you, so
here's the whole pelt of a gray rascal that
came over into Pennsylvania from West
Virginia and got caught by monkeying
with my liear trap,"said Josiah Poole, the
oldest trapper in Southern Pennsylvania,
ia tho County Commissioners' office of
Franklin County a few days ago, and
threw down liefore the eyes of tbo aston
ished Commissioners the pelt of the big
gest gray wolf killed in the Cumberland
Valley for fifty years or more. Then tbe
71 year-old trapper and backwoodsman
told the story of tbe capture.
Last winter was a very severe one. The
snows lay deep and many wild animals
were driven from their fastnesses by hun
ger. From tbe mountains of West Vir
ginia a pack of wolves came over into
Western Pennsylvania and were seen by
hunters. Several Somerset county hun
ters chased them wilh bounds, anxious
for the ten dollars each scalp bounty
w hich Pennsylvania pays, wilh disastrous
results to tbe hounds. Some of the dogs
came back maimed aud others never re
turned from the mountains. Some hounds
belonging to a Somerset county man chas
ed tbe wolves across mountain and stream
through Fayette, Somerset, Bedford,
Clair, Perry and Huntington counties
clear to the Susquehanna, They lost tbe
wolves somewhere near the Cumlierland
Valley. The Somerset man afterwards
recovered his dogs near Harrisburg. He
sent word in January last to bis trapper
friend Poole that the wolves bad probably
come this way and thai be should look
out for them.

Two Days in a Kan Trap.
John Gordon, of Elbinsville, Bedford
(Jounty, is dying, as a result of exposure
to which be was subjected several days
ago uuder singular circumstances. Gord
on, without stating his intentions to his
family, went to the mountain to split logs
into rails. His absence gave rise to alarm
for his safety, and a Bearding party
started out to solve the mystery surround
ing his disappearance. The solution came
in the finding of Gordon unconscious and
almost dead, his foot clamped in a heavy
log. He had apparently inserted his foot
in an effort to withdraw a wedge that had
been driven into the log, and was unable
to extricate it. Held thus in tbe immov
able vise, he remained in tbe woods two
days and two nights. He regained con
sciousness after being removed to his
home, but cannot live.

For his services in hanging wife mur
derer Herman Paul Schultz, Sheriff
Court wright, of Pike county. Pa., was al
lowed f 15 by the county commissioners,
who in turn received tbat sum for the
body for the dissecting table. The attor
ney who defended Shultz got nothing for
his service and the District Attorney g.t
$13 in fees out of the case. The Commis
ioners requested the Sheriff to have the
drop weight nsed at the hanging made of
lead. Tbe object was to sell hunks of lead
as souveuirs in order to dofray tbe small
expense attached to the hanging. Tbe
Sheriff put his foot down on such a
scheme and had the weight made of iron.
