DEAD OR ALIVE."
John Koddy'i Gaatt'.y Jake Sheriff HarU
ell Kakicg Preparation! for the
Doable Execution.
SPiaiTUAI. C3X30LATI0S WITHHELD.
Sheriff Harizell is making all the nec
essary preparations for the execution of
the Roddy boys on Tuesday, April 2;th,
now less than f.Kir wexdts distant. A few
days ago he left au order w ith a Pituburg
manufacturer for the ropes that will play
such an important part in tho tragedy.
The SiiftrifT was startled by a remark
John Roddy add reuses 1 to him one day
last week, and has since been more fully
impressed than heretofore that the con
demned men have little conception of the
ignominious fate that will so swiftly be
visited upon them.
"We're going to get out of here, dead
oralive," said John, as the Sheriff was
about to quit the corridor of the jail in
which the condemned brothers are con
fine L
"What do you mea tr asked theoffieer.
"Why, the Pardon Board will have to
set us free, or we'll go out through there,"
responded John, pointing significantly to
the double death-trap, and smiling at his
witticism.
"Well," said Sheriff Hartzell, "I would
advise you not to rely upon the hope that
the Pardon Board will interfere in yonr
case, for under all the circumstances yon
cannot expect to secure more than a com
mutation of the sentence of death to life
imprisonment, and the chances are very
largely against your securing even that,
aud I would therefore suggest that you
prepare for the worst."
The condemned murderer laughed at
the officer's kindly suggr-stion, and made
a derisive remark concerning the wit
nesses who had testified agaiust him and
bis brother.
Sheriff Hartzell and Ibe officers w ho
have had charge of the Roddy brothers
ever since their arrest for the Burke y
robbery and murder declare that the
nerve displayed by the prisoners ever
biaoe they were placed in jail has been
the most remarkable illustration of men
tal courage or boldness born of ignorance
they have ever witnessed, neither of them
ever having evinced the first symptoms
of fear at approaching death, and have so
far refrained from expressing a hope for
the future.
In some circles it is regarded as singu
Jar that iu a christian community sup
porting five or six separate church organ
izations, with a notable single exception,
none of them have displayed the slight
est interest in the spiritual welfare of
these two young men standing in the
shadow of the gallows.
Charged 'With, a Koaatront Offasae.
Henry Shaffer, a well-known resident
of Jenner township, was lodged in jail
Saturday afternoon to await trial on a
charge of incest preferred by his thirteen-
year -old daughter. Before being brought
to jail the defendant was given a hearing
liefore Esquire RUingor, of Jenners,
when testimony of a most revolting char
acter was heard. Shaffer is about thirty-
seven years of age and has a wife and six
children, the prosecutor br;: g his oldest
daughter. It is said that Shaffer and his
wife have not lived happily together since
their marriage some twelve years ago.
It Is also said that Shaffer has recently
exhibited unmistakable signs of insani
ty. His family has always borne an ex
cellent reputation.
Herman Christner Saioides.
Herman Christner, of Garrett, the Mey
ersdale Commercial says, suicided by sev
ering his jugular vein, making the second
slash with his razor in the presence of his
youngest daughter Sadie, who was too
late to prevent it. He stood at the bead
cf the stairs and tumbled down stairs,
dying in about five minutes. The self-
murder was committed between i and 8
o'clock, Wednesday morning. It is not
generally thought that he was in finan
cial difficulties, but that the loss of his
wife, continued ill health and domestic
troubles unbalanced his mind, aud drove
him to the rash act. Mr. Christner has
resided in Garrett for many years and for
the last twenty years has been engaged
in the lumber business. He was married
to a Miss Ringer, a sister of Jos. Ringer.
She died recently. II is children are Lew
is, Clarrissa, Ellen, Mahlou, Albert, Wil
liam, Francis and Sadie. All of these are
married but Albert, Francis aud Sadie.
Mr. Christner was very highly esteemed
for his many giod qualities and there will
be unusual regret at his rash step. Ill
health, we think, had more to do with it
than all other causes. He was aged about
60 years.
HoUl Va3Bar Changes Hindi.
Messrs. W. II. Kantnerand J. B. Wint
ers have soenred a lewe of the Hotel
Vannear property aud ou and after April
1st they will hve entire control of that
elegant public house. This announce
ment will cause great surprise to the
numerous friends of these popularyoung
men, to whom'all were prepared to say
"aa reivir, but not good bye," they hav
ing some six week ago completed their
arrangements for a prolonged visit to She
gold fislJi of Klondike, een having
gone so far as to provide clothing and
miners' outfit sufficient to last them for a
period of two years and to engage pas
sage on a flap sailing from San Francisco
to Dawson City on May 15th. W hen.
however, they learned, that Mr. C. S.
Vannear was anxious to retire from the
hotel business they promptly secured a
lease of his hotel property and instead of
digging in the earth for golden nuggets
they will make an earnest effort to pile
up golden eagles right hero in Somerset.
Mr. Kantnor has had six or seven years
experience on the roaii, stopping at all of
the best provincial hotels in Pennsylva
nia and adjoining states, aud is prepared
to cater to the wants of the traveling pub
lic, while Mr. Winters has beeii actively
identified with the hotel business all his
life. The Hotel Vannear has eujoyed
ever increasing popularity since it was
opane.l to the public threa yeirs a; and
will continue to bm m public favor
under the new management. A number
of improvements for the comfort of the
guests of the house will be made before
the new proprietors take charge. Mean
while Messrs. Kantner and Winters will
be kept busy explaining why they aban
doned their trip to the frozen north, but,
as both are amiable gentlemen, it is not
believed that the murderous Colt's re
volvers they purchaed for the purpose of
shooting polar bears will tie called into
requisition.

made for tho use of the books in pay or

point, aud makes it mandatory upon
school boards to permit the nse of the
district tex t books in psy or sel ect schools,
the directors placing the responsibility
for the proper care ol the books and safe

ed below :
"Section 1. That school directors or
controllers shall purchase text book and
other necessary school supplies for use

William P. Levy, a well-known resi
dent of Scalp Level, died at his home at
II o'clock Tuesday night. Ha was aged
53 years. Heart trouble was the cause of
his death.
A few days ago Mr. Levy went to Cres-
son, where be underwent an examina
tion by the pension examining board of
Cambria county. He was informed at
the time that -bis heart was not strong
and that he was liable to die any time.
Tuesday Mr. Levy was able to be about
as usual. About 11 o'clock he went to
the cupboard in the kitchen, when be
dropped over and died in few minutes.
The deceased was born in Davidsville
53 years ago, and was the youngest son of
'.Squire and Mrs. Peter Lovy, two of the
earliest settlers of tho northern eud of the
county. His boyhood days were spent at
Davidsville until the breaking out of the
war, when Mr. Levy shouldered s gun
nd eulisted in Co. H, Fifty-fourth regi
ment of Pennsylvania volunteers. Later
be was promoted to sergeant in Co. C of
the same regiment and after a re enlist
ment he was taken prisoner ft few days
before the surrender of Lee, together

, For a iriod of tiny yrwrs the Herald
has been owned and controlled by its
present propriettr. During that time it
I has encouraged and generously supported
nt' aw - Ai.n..lu. nh.la.uL.fi . 1 l.n ..1.
every
vancemcDt of the county. It has given
thousands of dollars in cash and adver
tising to worthy local rharitieo. It baa
paid all of its olillgntions and no man ran
say that the H skald owes him aa much
aa a penny.
For more than half a century the IltR
ai.d has gone into a majority of the beet
homes 3n Somerset county. That its
weekly visits have been appreciated is
best evidenced by the fact that It has by
far the largest circulation in the county,
and, with the exception of tha Meyers
dale Commercial, more than double the
circulation of any of its other local eotem
poraries. It has striven to publish tha
local news, and to intelligently comment
on local and public affairs. Its best efforts
have always been given for tha advance
ment and supremacy of the Republican
party in county, state and nation, and wa
can add without boasting that it baa ex
erted a poteut Influence in keeping to
gether the party in the county, when ene
mies within and without its ranks have
attempted to destroy it.
For many years tha Herald was with
out competition in the local field, but
when competition appeared it was honor
ably met and no obstacles were cast in
the way of honest competitors. In short,
the Herald has hoed its own row, and
proposes to continue to do so regardless
of the hirelings who hound its footsteps,
and it ia entirely too well satisfied with
its past success and future prospects to
give even ft passing kick to tha envious
curs that snap at its heels.
That our course has been fully and lib
erally sustained by the residents of the
county and tha general public in whose
interests it has been conducted, reference
to our advertising columns throughout
the year bears convincing evidence.
. Wa have ft firmly established schedule
of advertising rates which is strictly ad
hered to, the same as every other success
ful business concern must adopt, aud wa
have exerted no greater effort to secure
patronage than have other successful bus
iness men.
Discriminating advertisers, those who
know theTalue of printer's ink as an aid
to business, avail themselves of the col
umns of clean, wholesome papers, and
ungrudgingly pay a higher price for tba
service secured, as in the case of the Her
ald, with its large and established circu
lation, than they do to characterless pub
lications with circulations varying -from
100 to 000 weekly.
The above lines are written as sugges
tions to ProthonoUry Henry F. Barron,
Commissioners' Clerk John G. E inert,
and Chairman of the "fake" County
Committee J. A. Berkey, all of whom are
financially and otherwise interested iu ft
local publication recently established at
Salisbury, the owners and editors of the
"fako" journal, and such other would-be
publishers and newspaper owners as are
willing to have their advertising rates
dictated by such officious sham reformers
as S. U. Shober, George F. KimmelL etftL
The Baker 1 .allot law was passed by
the Pennsylvania general assembly in
l-eL Uuder its provisions the sheriffs of
the several counties of Pennsylvania are
required to make proclamation of general '
elections in the county newspapers. The
first proclamation printed in this county
was in 11, when F. J. Kooser, Esq., di
rected the sheriff, Isaiah Good, as to the
shape it should appear in tba newspa
pers. It was published in the same form
iu a majority of the counties of the state,
and was paid for at the card rates in force
in the various newspaper offices, with the
exception of here in Somerset, where S.
U. Shober attempted to override the au
thority of the sheriff as well as tba act of
assembly, and declined to pay for the
publication. Tha result of his refusal is
known to all of tha taxpayers of the
county, who were called upon to pay, not
only the newspapers for advertising the
proclamation, but for interest on the
money withheld, and tba costs of trial
and attorneys' fees, amounting in all to
some few hundreds of dollars in addition
to the original charges of the newspapers.
The Meyersdale Commercial, Somerset
Standard, Somerset Democrat, and tha
Herald were all interested in this suit,
and all of them were allowed identically
the same rate.
The sheriff's proclamation for the elec
tion of 1800, owing to the numerous candi
dates for Congress in this district, and the
further fact that the electors of this county
voted for ft full county ticket that year,
was the largest published in Pennsylva
nia, although publication was made in
the same form in a majority of the count
ies of the state. When it came to paying
for the publication Commissioner Shober,
with his over-officiousness, again refused
to pay for the same, and, as a result,
suit is now peuding in court, in which
tha newspapers seek to recover. We do
not wish to anticipate the decision of the
court, but the suit is based upon precisely
the same grounds aa tha former suit in
which the Somerset Standard partic
ipated. The newspapers of Somerset county or
of the state are not responsible for the en
actment of the Baker ballot law, or for
the conditions and expense it imposes
upon the sheriffs of tba various counties
and the taxpayers thereof, and so long as
the newspapers charge their advertised
rates for county or state printing they
can not be held responsible for collecting
what the law allows them any mora than
can ProthonoUry Barron be held respon
sible for presenting and collecting tha
following bill against the county of Som
erset, which was approved aud paid Dy
the county commissioners without even ft
question of its necessity being raised :

Bf alar Army.
Tha brave deed of ft Cambria County
soldier on the Battlefield of Gettysburg
is recalled by a bill which has been in
troduced in Congress by RepresenUUva
Packer, of Wellsboro, Pa. Tha measure,
says tha Johnstown Tribune, seeks to re
store Major Charles Veil, of Wellsboro,
to tha Regular Army a Lieutenant,
and then place him upon the retired list
n effort which all his Cambria County
friends hope may meet with success, for
do ona deserves such recognition more
than Charlie.
Ha ia native of Cambria, and ft brother
of Johnlll.Veil, tha well-knowu citizen
of Scalp Level, and in 161, at tha age of
eighteen, enlisted as ft private ia Com
pany G, of tha Ninth Pennsylvania Re
serves, and very soon was iu active ser
vice with tba Aruy of tha Potomac.
In the spring of 1863 Mr. Veil was made
an orderly on tha sutf of General John
F. Reynolds, and was the only ona of tha
staff close by when that commander was
struck by ft Rebel bullet and killed at Get
tysburg on tha morning of July 1st. See
ing tba General fall off his horse, Mr,
Veil dismounted and was soon by the dy
ing commander's side. By this time tha
Rebels were quite close and there was no
one uear to help, but Veil had no inten
tion of surrendering tha body, and, amid
bullets that whizzed by aud exclamations
to "Drop him," which he could plainly
hear, he dragged tha body, being unable
to carry it, to little ravine, where he got
assisUnee, and carried it within the Union
lines.
By General Meade's direction, Mr. Veil
accompanied General Reynolds' body
bome, and the funeral took place in Lan
caster on July 4th. Not long afterward
General Meade seut for Mr. Veil, while in
front of tha eueiny, and gave him a hand
some gold watch, appropriately inscribed,
as a gift from tha sisters of General Rey
nolds. Mr. Veil has carried the timepiece
ever since.
Shortly after receiving tha watch, See-reUry-of-War
Stanton sent a telegram to
the headquarters of the Army of the Po
tomac, asking that Private Veil be sent
to Washington for promotion. Reporting
to the Secretary, Mr. Veil was warmly
congratulated and asked in what branch
of the service he would prefer to be. Re
plying that he "was used to riding a horse
at his home in Cambria County," the Sec
retary directed a commission to be made
out for him aa Second Lieutenant In the
cavalry. Then he was given a furlough
to go to Baltimore to meet the sisters nf
General Reynolds, who desired to sea
him. It appears that they had interceded
with President Lincoln for him, and the
President bad ordered that he receive
bis commission.
Returning to tha front. Lieutenant Veil
was selected by General Sheridan for staff
duty aud remained with him until tba
close of the War, being promoted for gal
lantry from time to time. Subsequently
ha spent some years with his regiment,
tha First United SUtes Cavalry, in Texas,
Arizona, and New Mexico. In the reduc
tion of tha Army in 1S70 he was placed
upon the supernumerary roll, and was
tha next day dropped from the service.
This action his friends regard as an injus
tice, and it is now sought to have him
restored to the service and then retired
upon half pay.
