Last week's criminal conrt continued iu session tip until Saturday noon. Only four or live of the sixty-five cases set for trial were disponed of. The grand jury set au example for future graud juries by ignoring two or three indictments and placing the costs upon the prosecutors, where it appeared that theoflense alleged could not be established. Following is a summary of the week's proceedings: The casa of the Common weath vs. Wil liam Gibbion and George Hoover, in dicted for robbery on information of Hannah Smith, was taken up at 3 o'clock Thursday aftci noon. This was regarded a the m st important cise on the calen dar for December court, and considerable interest was manifested, inasmuch as the robbery of the prosecutor and her vener ablo husband had been reported as an unusually bold and atrocious one. A jury was not selected uutil 9 o'clock Thursday night, when court ad journed to meet at S:. o'clock Friday morning. The prosecutor, Mrs. Smith, was the first w itues called. She testified that she was iu her S3 J year aud that her husband. pat 81 years of ag, was unable to be prbseut iu court ou account of physical infirmities. The witness is remarkably well-preserved for a woman of such ad vanced age, and gavo her tliuior.y clearly aud distinctly. The evidence she g.tvo was substiutially as filows: My husband and I live alone in Shad township ; between li i-.nd 7 o'clock on Sunday evening, October 21th last, thore was a knock at tho door. We supposed some neighbors had cilled and opened the door. Two men entered, b th crri-3d clubs aliout two feet long, and wore masks made of wiudow blind material or skirt lining, over the lower part of their faces. They demanded money. I asked where they were from, when one of the robbers replied "from h 1." They light ed the lamps aud a lantern belonging to Mr. Smith, aud pulled down the w indow blinds. One of the robbers compelled the old gentleman to go with him to the summer house, where they searched for money, finding about 7. After they had ransacked every crnuy in the house, and torn up tbe beds and searched the clothing of the aged couple in a fruitless search for money they cut a rope from thebedeoid and threatened to hang the old man if he did not tell where his mon ey was concealed. Oae of tho robbers pat his hand on the old man's throat and said he thought maybe his necktie would be strong enough to hang him with. The old lady said that she was terribly ex cited but that she begged tho robbers not to harm her husband. One of the rascals took a gold earring from her ear and w hen she raised her baud- on account of the pain, ho said "don't slap me." After the thievos had helped themselves to some pies aud drank some milk they took a gun, a razor, and a Tv trinkets, and left the house turelrui.;g t return aud kill the aged couple if they told of the robbery. Mrs. Smith said that she got a good look at toe face of the man who guarded her while the other robber aud her husband were at the summer house, and she pointed out Gibbion as the man. She said she had seen Gib bion once before, about a year ago when he was at their house. She thought tho other robber was Goorge Yodor, judging from his size. She had known Yoder for a number of years. The robbers loft a dark lantern ou the sitting room table when they departed. After the arrest of Gibbion for thecrime aud he was brought into Mrs. Smith's presence by Constable Zimmerman she recognized him as one of the robbers. Constable Zimmerman and a witness uamed Hainer testified that when they arrested George Yoder for the Smith robbery he said "if it hadn't been for Gibbion, the s-of-a b , I wouldn't have been arrested." A r.um'oer of witnesses testified to declarations they had heard Yoder make to the effect "that it was a d d poor country if the people didn't help him out of his trouble." Other witnesses testified as to Yoder's having said that he was penniless, while till others declared that thay had seen him with a roll of mouey after the Smith robbery. The prisoner's testified in their own defense. Both declared that they wore innocent of the crime charged. Yoder said that he was at the home of his father on the Sunday of the robber until about dusk when he returned home together with his wife and two children. A score of witnesses corroborated his statements in regard to this. He also acoountod for the money he bad, declaring that he got most of it from his father, and that he had sold a watch and a horse. Gibbion testified that on tho day of the robbery he had gone to the home of one Shaffer, near the top of the mountain, a distance of seven miles iu order to return a bag, in which he had carried some su gar to George Yoder's, at whoso house he b jar Jed, and that he got back home a few minutes after the Yoder's had re turned from spending Sunday at the home of Yoder's father. Gibbion said that George Yoder had seut him with $o.00 to Specht's Sprucetowu stora to buy a suit of clothes for Yoder, whoso baby had died and who wanted the cloth to wear to the f.inrral. Several witnesses testified to having seen Gibbion ou the day of the robbery traveling in the direction he paid ho had gone, and two witnessas, Georgo Yod-r's wifo and another, t;jstiticl that Mrs. S:nii. had described the rob'jers in their presence when she declared that ona was a tall m in with a mustache an 1 side whiskers, while tho other was suill and had thrae loeth missing from his jaw. While Mrs. Yoder was testifying Mrs. Smith interrupted with "that is not so." Two witnesses for tho d jfeusa ad nitted that Mrs. Smith had till them th-it.'he was afraid to tell who the robbers ware for fear they would return aud kill her. All of the evidence was in at&Wo'clock Friday afternoon, and the case was given to thej ary at &M. At 9:3d that night the jury returned a verdi. fiudiiig Gibbion guilty in manner au 1 form a indicted, and acquitting Yodjr. FVid.iy miming Jjlge L nig meckor Hontencod Gibbion to the panitentiary for a period of three years and six month. Gibbion is lhirty-to yeirs of age and hails from Cambria c-Miity. He inti mated his guilt t .S.i;rilf Marti ill, but declared emphatically that he would not give his "pal" away, proforriag to sa Jjr alo'ie. The cwa of th Commonwealth vs. Herman J. Shaier, chargol with forgery, on information of Harvey G. Staid, was taken up Wednesday in iruiug aud cn-suuii-'l the grciter portion ofthediy. Tho defendant was a tenant on the pros ecutor's farm, near Jenners, iu 181, and it was allegod that he induced Siahl to purchase a note, signed by hi:isjlf and his father, and wilnassod by his brother-in-law, a man naminl Good, for 27o. The elder ShaiTar and G .)! doclarel that the signatures allege 1 t b theirs were for geries. Tao dafend aut testified that he had signed the names of his father and iioxl to the note at the instigation of Slabl, aad that he had received n valua ble consideration for the note. Tho jury returned a verdict of g tilty. Tua de fendant wa sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution and to undergo imprison ment in the penitentiary for a period of eighteen mouths. Harvey T. Slaul, wa n9xt placed opon trial to answer a charge of forgery arising from the same transaction proforrod against him by Alexander Shaffer. The evidence adduced was almost a repetition of the evideucj given in the case above. A verdiC. of not Euilty, but the dafend ant to pay the costs, w as returned by the jury. I The court wasn't through with Shaffer when he was convicted of forgery, and I he was again placed on trial on a charge j of larcuy, J. woe W. Kimrue), of Jenner township, alleging that he titole a turkey belonging to him, which hesoldto "Jim" Gillf-spie, the Jenners hotelkecper. The ' turkey was brought into court and iden i tinVJ by tbe prosecutor as bis property, j aud by Giilepio, who declared he had f rUrchael it from hn ,lpfnrtnnt and hv Mrs. Kimmel, who swore that she had seen Shaffer sw ipe the fowl from the top rail of a fence in froiit of their house, one morning, lielore sunrise. Shaffer de clared that bis sister had presented him with 'die turkey, and his sister corrobor ated his statement. Tbe jury, however, found that Shaffer had a-tolen the turkey, The Coari imposed a sentence of fl.00 fine, the costs of prosecution, and sus pended further sentence until a future time. In tbe case of tbe commonwealth vs Henry Younkin, charged with malicious mischief, on information of Freeman Lichty, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty and placed the costs on the prose cutor. Jacob Friedline entered a plea of guilty to a charge of assault and battery, and was sentenced to pay a fiue of Jl.oO and the costs of prosecution. Josiah L. Bcrkey, whose domestic wine got biui into trouble on a former occasion, entered a plea of guilty to selling liquor w ithout liceuse. Sentence was suspend ed, pending argument, uutil next regular session of adjourned court. C. L. Hayden acknowledged his guilt in pointing concealed weapons, and es caped with a fine or JI.OO and twenty days in the couuty jail. A plea of guilty was ontered by Eliza beta Forespriug, charged with assault and battery. The Court imposed a sen tence of $20 fine and cosLs. The suit brought by Jacob H. Miller agaiust Jacob ileinbaugh for surety of the peace, was dismissed at the cost of the prosecutor. The costs were equally divided be tween the prosecutor, Savilla Mclutyre, and Lewis Pifer, defendant, iu a surety case. In the case of Tony White, indicted for surety, tbe Court directed a nol. pros, to be entered, aud tbe couuty to pay the costs. Jacob Folk, a Meyersdale German, aged "0 year, was brought before the Court Wednesday evening to explain why he bad failed to support bis wife, whom be deserted more than a year ago. The de fendant declared that he was positively unable to assign any reason for deserting her and that he was perfectly willing to return to her. He was required to enter into recognizance to pay his wife (2.00 per week towards her support. Peter Heider, who worked at the wagon making business at Garrett, some thir teen years ago, and married a soldier's widow in that place, whom he shortly afterwards deserted and went to Fayette county, when asked why Ii9 had deserted the woman bo had promised to honor and keep in sickness aud in health, de clared that the separation had been by mutual consent; that his wife and ho were unable) to agree i.u.l that he had her permission to go. Mrs. H eider agreed iu part to the statement of her husband, but said that she was uuwilliug for him to go away in the company of another woman. Tbe Court decided that Heider should contribute $1.00 per week towards his w ifu's support, and directed that he enter bond to that effect.

B ographical Bmew of Somarset County. The proposed publication of a Biograph ical Review of Somerset county, by tbe Biographical Review Publishing Compa ny of Boston, Mass., calls to our atten tion the fact, which we are glad to note, that many of the present generation are taking an intelligent interest in tbe pre servation of family history, and are searching genealogical records, not with the iew of being able to claim kinship, near or remote, with any of the royal or noble families of the Old World, but for the purpose of gratifying an honest pride in the memory of the worthy deeds aud laborious struggles of their pioneer an cestors in this country. Pride in descent from men of tho type of our early colon ists is, we hold, perfectly legitimate and entirely consistent with our Democratic institutions. They we.-e the first Ameri cans, as the term is tow understood; men who, under greaf discouragements and with vast labor, planted strong and deep the foundations of our present soci ety. It is worth while to make this fact plain to our present population, aud the proposed work admirably servos such a purpose, lesides transmitting to posteri ty a faithful account of tbe lives of the busy toilers of to-day. No charge will be made for the publication of these sketch es and we trust that our citizens will give this enterprise the support it deserves by furnishing information when called upon, or by otherwise assisting the agents of the company.

'i lis POWDER & Absolutely Pure O Peter Sipe Appointed Auditor, 11 Appointment of Silaa Llchty'i Sneceaaor a Great Surprise to Democratic and Mugwump Politicians. CHABGES OF BAD FAITH ASD BB0KE5 PKOMISEJ FBEEXT MADE. Before the rising of tbe Court Satur day morning the appointment of Peter Sipe to fill the vacancy created by the death of Silas Lichty, a member of the Board of County Auditors, was announc ed from the bench. Mr. Sipe is one of the best known Democrats in the county, and his long business career should emi nently fit h.m to discbarge the important duties of that office. He is a brother-in-law of Assod.tte Judge Homer. The appointment of Mr. Sipe was a great surprise to the fifteen or more Dem ocrats, who were active candidates for tbe position, some of whom had petitions signed by a long list of their political friends praying for their appointment presented to the court, and it was espec ially surprising to those candidates who claimed to have bad an absolute and un qualified promise from Judge Horner of his support. Before the appointment was made, Gen. CofTroth, who has controlled the Demo cratic politics of the county to a greater or less extent for more than a quarter of a century, asked the Court's permission to examine the applications on file, and when he came to the application of E. II. Werner, be said he desired to enter a vigorous protest against his appointment, it being generally understood that both Associate Judges were pledged to sup port Mr. Werner. Gen. Coffroth said that he had refrained from signiug the petition of any of the candidates for Au ditor, and would be perfectly satisfied with tbe appointment of any of the ap plicants, except that of Mr. Werner, whom he declared was only a probation er in the Democratic party, and whose loyalty to the Democratic couuty ticket at the time Mr. Lichty was elected to office, is disputed. Continuing, he said that Mr. Werner hail the rit-. c: the Commis sioners' office and was an interested party iu the matter of the surcharging done by the Auditors last year; that his appoint ment was against public policy, and that Lis petition ha I not been properly filed. J. A. Berkey, Esq., replied to Gen. (Jofrroth's strictureson his friend Werner, stating that Werner had repeatedly told him that be had decided to vote for tbe la' Mr. Lichty, and after the election Werner had declared to him that he had voted for Lichty. (ien. CofTroth replied that Berkey's re marks came with bad grace from a gen tleman who was ambitious to become one of the leaders of the Republican party in the couuty, inasmuch as it revealed bis desire to place a renegade Republican iu off! . The law governing the appointment of a Couuty Auditor is somewhat peculiar. in that it requires the apxiutee to be a number of the same political party as bis predecessor and to have voted for him when he was elevated to the position. Tue Associate Judges were evidently unprepared for the hot shot tired at them by General Coffroth, but the record shows that Associate Judgo Black was loyal to Werner, and would not vote for Associate Judge Horner's brother-in-law. As a matter of course. Judge Longeu- ecker, being a resident of another county, and a member of the opposition party, could have had no preference among the c indidates for the place, his presumable dasire boiug to secure the appointment of a competeut man, so that w hen Werner's chances were disposed of, he accepted As sociate Judge Horner's suggestion and voted for Mr. Sipe. Mr. Sipe baa been iu Philadelphia for sonutiine receiving medical attention at th ban. Is of a specialist, but will leave lor home to-morrow. When it came to appointing two court officers to lake the places of Daniel Treut, deceased, and John Burket. resigned, the members of the bench found that they had more pegs than holes," there being some sixteen applicants for the two va cancies. Some of the pegs were too fat while others were too lean aud as a result a compromise was effected by naming two vetorau soldiers. Win. M. HochUetler and Henry F. Kuepper, both of whom will make efficient ollicials. A number of the applicants who claimed to have had a copper-riveted cinch on tbe places are going around with knives up their sleeves.
