parts of the county to Koekwood on that
day. Last year more than 2o(0 people at
tended the reunion. Program will be

Graat satisfaction was expressed Mon
day evening when a dispatch was receiv
ed from Mr. J. J. Hoblitzell announcing
that he had been notified by Governor
Hastings that . Lieutenant's commission
had been made out and forwarded to his
sou Frank J at Chickaniauga. Frank
was elected Second Lieutenant of Com
pany I, and it is presumed as a matter of
course that be has been com missioned as
such. Lieutenant Uobliuell is immense
ly popular and will make a splendid
officer.
Israel Burket, a well-known farmer of
Fairhope township, died on Friday from
the effects of kick received from a horse
the preceding day. Thursday morning
Mr. Burket went to the pasture for tbe
purpose of driving the horses to the baru
and n hen one of tbe animals was passing
thrcyigb the gate be gently slapped it on
the flank. The horse elevated his heels
and planted tsith of them in the unfortu
nate farmer's groin w ith such force as to
cause internal injuries from which he
died. He leave a wife and several chil
dren. John Hensel, aged (il years, a veteran
of the war and a member of tbe Grand
Army of the Republic, expired very un
expectedly on the evening of June SKh,
at his home in Lavansvilia. Deceased
had performed his usual daily work and
ate a hearty supper, being apparently in
his usual g.MHl health at tbe time. An
hour after uppr he was seii.-l with
apoplexy aud died without uttering a
word. His wife and eight children sur
vive him. Mr. Heusel was well known
throughout the rem my and was very
popular.
Much uneasiness has been felt here in
regard to the appointment of tbe two re
maining commissioned officers for Com
pany I. It ws definitely known Mon
day night that Frank J. Hoblitxell had
been commissioned Second Lieutenant,
aud, notwithstanding repented appeals
were made to Harrislmrg, nothing could
lie learned in regard to tbe appointment
of K. M. Linton, who bad been unani
mously chosen First Lieutenant by the
volunteer before they left town. Yes
Urrfay afternoon Captain Kooaer eeut a
message to his rather, which it is hoped
suffered in transmission, aince it conveys
the impression that Governor Hastings
has commissioned a volunteer from
some other county First Lieutonsul of
Company L The Company I boys will
stick up for Lieutenant Linton. A dis
patch received last evening from Adjutant-General
Stewart said that tbe First
Lieutenant of Company I would be ap
pointed from the line olDcers of tbe Fifth
Regiment. The friends of R. M. Linton
are making a vigorous pro.etsl against
such action

MUSTERED INTO TNCLB SAM's" IRMV.
Captain Kooecr had bis company in
line on the Court House lawn at 11 dock
Friday morning, when the rwruit ug of
ficers. Captain H. S. Taylor and Quarter
master Sergeant Herbert Burcbneld,
dressed in regulttion infantry iiiiforin
appeared. Sergeant Burchlield called
the roll, when 1U1 nJen responded to their
names. Captain Taylor, who IimI been
ordered to muster the men iuto tbtf ser-
viceof the Foiled States, reiaestevl tbe
volunteers to raise their right bands, and
after be bad read the oaih tos.y "I will!"
a though they meant it.
"1 do solemnly awntr that I will besr true
fiiith and allinimv U Hid Gnlusl relates if
Aniertfai. ana llial 1 will serve trieui honestly
and Ikillifully aiiinst hI llteir eiiemitw
u lionisivver : and Ui.il I v.!l ouey the orders
of Hie President of the l.niu-d SlaU-. and
tne orders ol lh titltcern koj p. Milled over me
according to tiie rules aud urUcies of war."
The emphatic response of the volun
teers must have been Tery gratifying to
the mustering officers, sine it was given
n a chorus that could be heard several
blocks distant. After tbe oath bad been
administered the Captain complimented
tbe recruits upon the tine appearance
they present! aud predicted that after
they had undergone a few weeks' drill
they would be not only a credit to their
regiment, but a cred't to their county
and to the State of Pennsylvania, He
admonished them thit tbe oue duty they
bimld learn above all others was to obey
orders. Turning ft Captain Kooser the.
mustering oiricer said : "It affords me
great pleasure to prwsont Captain Kotser
with his commission which was received
this morning," at the same time handing
the young ofiicer tbe official document.
The volunteers gave tjree bearty cheers
for their Captain, and at tbe suggestion or
some one in the crowd who had gathered
to witness the muster, three cheers were
given for Company I. After the enthusi
asm had subsided the men signsd their
names to tbe muster roil.
Captain Komter was determined that
his company should be recruited op to
the full quota, and on Friday evening tbe
five additional men wanted passed the
physical eiaminatk and were mustered
into the volunteer array. Fred Dupont,
of Rock wood, was the last man accepted.
A KINK ItOAT Or MKTt,
In speak iog of ibe character of the men
composicg Company I, Captain Taylor .1
said they were an exceptionally fin body
of men, both physically and mentally.
Every man is able to read and write,,
w hile a large nomber of tbem arj well,
educated. About IjO men prescnied.
themselves for examination. 25 of whom,
were rejected on sight, while 19 or 20 oth
ers were found to be physically disquali
fied upon examination by IKsHor Shaffer..
Lieutenant Hay, of the Co i ted Suten-
Cavalry, reached Somerset at W o'clock
Saturday morning, for the purpose of
seeing that three dayV rations, plate,
tincups, knives, forks etc., were provid
ed for tbe use of Company I, while en
route to Cbickaiauga.
He iound that sufficient rations had
not been received from the commissary
depurtinent and wasobligl to purchase
a larimauanlitvof canned meats, boiled
hams, etc, from local grocery houses.
CHEERED HT THOrSAXtlS.
There was a perfect jam of people in
front of the Court House, Saturday after
noon, and among the thHiiands present
few could bo soe.i w hose eyas wore free
from moisture. The soldier boys ming
led among the crowd biddiuc friends guod
bye, and, notwithstanding the excite
moot of tbe hour, tears unbidden started
to their eyes and their Toicea chok
ed with emotion, when they clasped tbe
hands of their friends perhaps fur the
last time. A number of tbe volunteers,
great stalwart fellows, wept freely and
made no eff.irt to hide their tears, thus
bearing positive evidence of the sacrifice
they had made in severing home-ties at
tbe call of duty. Captaiu Kooser, with a
determined expression and eyes spark
ling with suppressed excitement and
smothered emotion, suddunly appeared
front his home on the opposite side of the
street aud gave tbe ooru maid, "Fall In !"
A minute afterwards the lOi boys were
in line and each one proudly and loudly
answered to his name. Gray-haired ma
trons, wives and widows of veterans,
passed along the line ami grasping the
soldier boys by the. hand whispered a
prayer for their safe return. Out in the
street the veteran members of R. P.
Cummins Post, G. A. R., were in posi
tion to lead the procession to the railroad
station, while the members of the local
fire companies, with their hose carta
glistening in the sun, stood ready to fall
in behind. Captain Kooser marched his
company away from the crowd to a point
where a photographer secured a picture
of them. Finally at 3:"W o'clock, at tbe
command, "Forward, March," Company
in double file marched out under the
shadow of the soldiers' monument into
Main Cross street. A mighty shout from
three thousand throats went up as the
bead of the column appeared.
Tit K rROVKNSIOS MOV KM.
Business had been entirely suspended
since noon and as the procession started
to move there was a wild scramble on
the part of the crowd to gain a point of
vantage from which to view it. Houses
all along the mute were decorated
with liunlingand w hile flags were
waved by lailies and children from every
window and veranda along the streets
traversed.
The procession was made up as follows:
Berlin Drum Corps,
Veterans of the Grand Army,
Meyersdale Cornet Band,
Company L Fifth Reg. Pa. Vol.,
Somerset Drum Crrps,
Pioneer Fire Company,
East End Fire Company.
The cheering that broke out when tbe
procession started was continued witn
out interruption all along the route until
the soldier boys had marched down
Main Cross to Maiu, to West, to Patriot,
to- the railroad station a spontaneous
ovation such as has never been tendered
to any body of men by the uitizans of
Somerset.
A MEMORABLE SPKCTACLK,
Haltiug at tbe railroad station the
Grand Army veterans fell into open
ranks and stotsl with uncovered beads
while the patriotic youths who are follow
ing in their footsteps, with their heads
also uncovered in honor of tbe veteran
niefenders of the Nation's honor, passed
between. Tumultuous applause greeted
this graceful aud fitting act.
As soon as the enthusiasm had partial
ly subsided Elder Mullendore. of the Di
sciple Church, raised nis nana anu ine
great crowd was rnddeuly hushed while
he delivered a fervent prayer in behalf of
the tnemliers of Company I, and asked
the God of Nations to care for and protect
them and return them safely to their
homes after they have discharged their
duty to their country.
OFF FOB THE SOUTH.
Four passenger coaches and a baggage
car were waiting to be occupied by the
troops, each soldier having a seat l him
self. Guards were stationed at the doors
of tbe coaches and none but the volunteer
soldiers were admitted to them.
Lieutenant Hay, who had carefully
watched the embarkation of the compa
ny signaled the conductor that all was
right, and a moment later tbe wheels of
tbe train began to revolve, and in a few
minutes Somerset county's first voluuteer
company in the war with Spain was
speeding away for the south.
The cheering on the part of the crowd
was very faint when the train rolled
away, the hearts of those who witnessed
its departure being too heavy with
thoughts of how many of tbe orave boys
might lie missing when Company I re
turns to Somerset.
Tbe soldier boys shouted vociferously
as long as they were in sight of Somerset,
thus emphasizing their impatience p en
ter upon the actual duties of military life.
5otat.
Herbert Pfabler, of Meyersdale, presid
ed at a meeting of tbe volunteers held
Thursday night, in tbe Court House.
E. O. Kooser, Esq., was unanimously
elected Captain: K. M. Linton, editor of
the Somerset Democrat, was unanimously
elected First Lieutenant, and Frank J.
Hoblitzell, of Meyersdale, was elected
Second Lieutenant by a large majority.
Charley King carried tbe Grand Army
Flag at tbe head of the Company when it
marched to the station.
The citizens of Somerset raised a purse
of fJULM for tbe volunteers from this
town and township, and the citizens of
Meyersdale contributed a larger sum for
the soldier boys from that place. It is
probable that the two purses will be con
solidated and utilized as a Company fund
to be distributed among all the boys.
It w.s a matter of remark that the bands
and drum corps failed to play "The Girl
I left behind me," when the procession
inarched to tbe rail rand station. Wheth
er the omission was an oversight or not,
the girls were there just the same.
"I doubt whether there is a fiuer bady
of men in camp at Camp Thomas than
our boys," was a remark heard on all
sides.
A banner on one of the coaches carry
ing the members -jf I Company, bore the
inscription "Frosty Sons of Thunder,
Somerset, Pa.," which a Pittsburg Press
reporter makes read "Somerset Thunder
Bolts," in his account of the troops pass
ing through that city.
Tbe voluo-eers from Elk Lick held a
meeting ou the Somerset House lawn
Thursday night, at which short addresses

SCENES.
A Full Week of Patriotic Enthu
siasm. B2EAKIH0 HOSE TIES A5D LAST GOOD
BYES BY SOLDIER
BOYS.
Capt. Tajlor and Oov, Ujb."
Last week was a memorable one in tbe
history of Somerset. Tbe scenes wit
nessed, while perhaps only a reproduc
tion of similar scenes witnessed here fol
lowing the outbreak of the civil war,
were new to a majority of our people and
very move was watched with intense in
terest, not only by the citizens of Somer
set, but by hundreds of others from va
rious parts of the county who came to say
good bye and wish God speed to their
relatives and friends who had volunteer
ed in tbe service of the government for
the war with Spain, and who Btood ready
to march at the word of command into
the hell of battle in defense of the Flag.
Some of the scenes witnessed ou the
streets were never to be forgotten: where
a sturdy youth, filled with the fire of
patriotism, parted, perhaps for the last
time, with his widowed mother and fath
erless sisters and brothers; where a hus
band gave a last fond embrace to his wife
snd children ; or in the family home
where an ouly son, or two bro'.hers, re
ceived the benediction of their parents
and loved ones. On the other hand were
determined young men who had left
their places on the farm, in the shops
and business office, after a hurried fare
well to their friends, atd came here
among strangers to voluntoerin the army
and were impatient to experience the
periU aud h irdships of war beneath a
tropical sun in a strange land. But it
was only those who were sobered by
the thought of parting with their lov
ed ones and friends who gave way to
their feelings, and in a majority of cases
their emotions were of sudden and short
duration, yielding to the inspiration and
exciting scenes that were being euacted
on all sides.
The excitement began on Mouday of
last week when the recruiting officers for
the 5th, Captain II. S. Taylor, and Quartermaster-Sergeant
Herbert Burchtield
arrived and established headquarters in
Grand Army Hall, with Dr. Perry F.
Shaffer as examining surgeon, and Lewis
Gasteiger as clerk.
Captain Kooser, who had beei chiefly
instrumental in securing permission
from Gov. Hastings and in organizing a
volunteer compauy in Sjmerset and Bed
ford counties, was sought after by hun
dreds who wanted to know just what was
required to enter the service and gener
ally all ab ut it. Had he paused to reply
to all of the questions fired at him it is
altogether probable tbat tbe mustering
officers would be in Somerset to-day and
that the full complement for Company I
would be lacking a number of men.
Captain Kooser hurried those whom he
knew would enlist before the examining
board and kept the telephoue wires work
ing between various points lu tbe county
directing the men he had previously vis
ited to report for examination, with the
result that "2 men had passed the physi
cal examination at the close of business
Tuesday evening.
CON PL! METED BY TU E BANDS.
Among the men who had enlisted were
a number of the most popular and prom
inent youug men of Elk Lick, whither
word had gone that the company would
start south on Thursday. As a testimo
nial of the valor of her sons and a grace
ful compliment to their friends aud
neighbors, tbe members of tbe Salisbury
band, accompanied by a large delegation
of ladies and gentlemen arrived on tbe
noon train Wednesday for the purpose of
giving Company I a rousing send-off.
The unexpected arrival of the band and
tbe inspiring patriotic tunes they dis
coursed on the streets filled the air with
patriotism and stimulated those who had
resolved to enlist to more speedy action.
Wednesday evening's train brought the
Meyersdale band and i large proportion
of the population of that place to Somer
set, their mission being to bid farewell to
the Meyersdale boys who had enlisted
and to participate in the excitement inci
dent to tbe departure of tbe troops.
Tbe bands paraded the streets, illumin
ated by red lights and reverberating
with tbe sound of explosives from an
early hour until long after midnight,
while the side walks were lined with
cheering men and women, boys and
girls. All day Thursday the principal
streets werechoked with crowds of people
wrought up to a high state of excitement,
and Thursday night witnessed a repeti
tion of tbe exciting scenes of the night
before,
Friday night Uncle Sam's soldiers, the
ga'laut boys of Company I, tk posses
sion of the town and the scenes w itness
ed on tbe public square, where a store
box placed in the Ventre served as a
speaker's stand from which many of the
bya made patriotic and humorous ad
dresses, was tbe centre of iuterest for a
cheering crowd composed of several
hundred people.
INTERROGATING RECRUIT.
Up in the Grand Army Post Room
Captain Taylor and Sergeant BurcbQeld
were impatiently waiting for word from
Lieutenant Howe, of tbe Regular Army,
who bad been designated to come here
and muster in the recruits. A number of
men were still lacking to fill up tbe full
quota of tbe company and they were
anxious that lOfi good men should have
passed the critical physical examination
aud be ready to be sworn into the volun
teer army when he arrived. Thursday a
message was received fioiu tbe War De
partment directing Captain Taylor to
muster the company.
Every train tbat arrived here during
the days iutervening between Monday
and Saturday brought from one to six
men who desired to enlist. Tbe men
soon found their way to the recruiting
headquarters were they were sharply in
terrogated by Captain Taylor. -
"How eld are you, young man," was
tbe first question asked. If under ae, as
was the response in perhaps thirty cases,
the caudidate was direc ted to return
borne and get the written consent of his
parents.
"What's the matter with tbat lea eye of
yours." was the question fired at another
class of would-be-volunteera,
"Nothing that I know of," answered
the candidate.
"Try him Sergeant," commanded the
Captain.
Sergeant Burcbfield conducted tbe
young man to tbe opposite aide of tbe
room and held apiece of cardboard be
fore one of his eyes, while Captaiu Taylor
held a marker over a letter a half-inch
long in order to separate it from the other
characters on the chart. A number of
men examined were almost totally blind
of one eye, and were entirely ignorant
of tne defection. Those whose evtsight
was pronounced good were next examin
ed in regard to tbeir bearing, and if found
all right in both cases were directed to
disrobe for examination by the surgeon.
Some of the boys who were rejected on
acoouut of physical disabilities were
thoroughly dejected and could not under,
stand why Uncle Sam sbonld decline to
accept their services, when they were so
freely and patriotically tendered.
BRIUUT SIDE OF ARMY LIKE.
It was a matter of business and carry
ing out his instructions altogether, with
Captain Taylor, and the manner in which
he discharged his duties called forth the
admiration of all who came in oonta
with him. In addition to beiug a splen
did specimen of the volunteer soldier.
Captain Taylor is a cultured gentleman
and an able practicing attorney before tbe
Centre county courts. He has been prom
inently identified with politics over st
the home of Governor Hastings, hsving
been chairman of the Democratic county
coiuruitloe, but sines war was declared
I I
m " i
-iili'
FQWDEft
Absolutely Pure
against Spain he has given op politics
and law and enteied enthusiastically
upon his duties as sn ofQr in tbs vol
unteer army. While on his wsy north
to recruit four additional companies for
the Fifth Regiment, the Captain met with
a little incident that will bear repeating
here on account of tbe novel circum
stances under which it occurred.
"When Sergeaut Burchfield and I
awoke the other morning after leaving
Chattanooga," said tbe Captain, "I inquir:
ed of a dignified-looking gentleman who
occupied the section in front of us what
State we were passing through, and, upon
being told tbat we were still in the State
of Tennessee, expressed my surprise at
the beauty of the laudscape and the many
instances of marked progress in southern
agriculture as our train dashed through
tbe fertile valleys. In the course of tbe
conversation I learned that the gentle
man was from Tennessee, and in answer
to bis inquiry told him I was a Pencsyl
vanian. Why, I asked, has Governor
Taylor been so harshly criticised by a
certain Tennessee paper for his military
appointments? 'Because he is a Taylor,'
was tbe laughing respouse. Well, that's
my name, said I. and I have lollowed the
career of the Taylor boys, 'Bob' and 'Alf,
who were rival candidates on the Demo
cratic and Republican tickets respective
ly, with a lively interest, and I have
made up my mind that they are a great
pair of boys. You can imagine my sur
prise," continued the Captain, at the same
time calling upon Sergeant Burchfield to
corroborate his statement, "when the
gentleman turned around, and, extend
ing his hand, said: "Shake hands with
one of tbe boys. I am Governor "Bob"'
Taylor.' The Governor expressed a lively
interest in the progress of the war, aud
for the comfort of the troops, und be
fore leaving the train handed me bis
card and asked me to ca.l on him, assur
ing me that he never would forget tbe
circumstances under which we met, and
I am quite certain I never shall."
Quartermaster-Sergeant Burcbfield is a
sou of Col. Theodore Burchfield, of tbe
Fifth, having earned his various promo
tions from tbe ranks. He has inherited
the soldierly bearing of his distinguished
father, and is a young man of affable
manners and marked executive ability.
His home is in Altoona.

Somariet Boy's Firit Impression of Sol
dier Life.
In a letter written by George W. Sayior,
sou of ex-Prothonotary F. P. Sayior, he
gives his first impressions of soldier life.
Mr. Sayior was oue of thirty-two men re
cruited for Co. II. Fifth Pa. Vol. He ar
rived at Chickiinauga on July 1st He
writes:
"This is one of the greatest places I
ever saw ; there are over oa,() soldiers in
camp, aud the park is a living mass of
people. Horses, mules, wagons, cannon,
commisary, ammunition and water wag
ons are evetywbere, and there is a white
sheet of tents for miles. You cannot
imagine what it is like. We have the
finest bands and drum corps. Our regi
ment is billed to leave for Porto Rico in
a few weeks. We are all anxious to get
away, as it is very hot here, although I
don't mind tbe heat. We have a bar-room
in camp for tbe benefit of the soldiers,
and there are many false reports going
out in regard to the place. It's all right
and is couditcted all right. Iam just in
from drill, and am hot. The scenery
aliout here is grand beyond telling. I
will get some relics of the battle-field
when I can aud send tbem home. You
ought to see tbe rations comiug out ; every
inau gets tbe same amount. It will be
tbe making of any man to be a soldier iu
this war, wou't il? There is going to be
some fighting to do, but that is wbat we
are here and ready for. I am as happy
as a lord : every one seems the same, but
none of tbem are as happy as Cal Schrock
and L
It is now mess-time; tbere is a bugle
call for the office:; the messengers are
coming, aud the bands and drum-corps
are playing. Old soldiers kuow what
this means; it's great. 1 went through
the drill in great shape to-day aud nave
qualified for tbe rille pit I hit tbe bull's
eye at 3)0 yard 9 out of 10 times ; at 300
yards 6 ont of 10; at jot) yards 7 out ot 10.
My gun is a dandy, but it kicked jiy
shoulder black and blue as black as the
hat father wears about tbe farm. Some
of tbe boys were kicked over by their
guns. We were nut marching and prac
ticing yesterday. You ought to see tbe
skirmish drill. It is exciting, makes a
fellow feel funny, serious and brave. Tbe
Spanish will have to run if ever tbe Fifth
gets after tbem. We will swipe them in
great shape. Our orders are to be ready
to break camp at any minute. Here are
a few of the rules: Bathe three times a
week; keep your clothing clean; watch
the craw lei s ; (Jerusalem! it will take
watching and washing; ) roll-call at 5
a. m.; mess 5:23 ; drill 7 to 9 ; mess 11:50 ;
drill 3 p.m.; mess ill ; drexs parade 7;
roll-call 9 ; ft 15 lights out and quiet. The
lights go out, but tbe fun goes on, and you
can bet tbe police on duty are kept bt.sy.
The bugles blowing laps at 15 is beauti
ful. We sleep on tbe ground ; no spring
beds are permiited in camp, neither do
we get ice cream, pies and cfkes. Tbe
cream and butter are not of tbe kind
Somerset boys have been accustometo.
The byword is : "I do." "Yes, of course
you have to." Send me a few postage
stamps. G. W. 8a v lor.
