The announcement that Governor
Hastings bad advanced 24 Lieutenant
Eck. of Company A, to the 1st Lieutenan
cy of Company I, Fifth Pennsylvania Vol
unteers, was a bitter disappointment to
to the friends of R. M. Liuton, w ho had
been elected First Lieutenant by tbe
unanimous vote of -the Company. Lin
ton', friends have tbe assurance that be
w ill receive promotion at tbe earliest op
portunity. Mr. Jesse Baker, who baa held a posi
tion in tbe Philadelphia Custom House
daring the past six years, felt the swing
of the headsman', ax on the 15th, when
be received notice that his services would
not be required after that date. Jesse says
the civil service rules are all right as long
as a fellow is in, and all wrong when be
has to get out. Some fifteen other Demo
crats were bounced at the same time.
Mr. Baker returned to Somerset on Sat
urday. Senator Wellington, of Maryland, has

for tbe Lutheran Reunion, to be held at

you later on as to the subject on which
I will speak." The presence of the Sen
ator on this occasion, which will be tbe
largest Church gathering held in tbe

Senator Wellington bas a wide reputation
as an orator, and all should avail them
selves of this opportunity to bear bim.

A detailed acconnt of the incident at
Subic Bay, elsewhere referred to, in
which two of the vessels ol Dewev's
fleet chased the German gunboat Irene
out of the Bay and then captured Grande
Island, shows that Ensign Orio Knnpper,
of Somerset, took a Tery prominent part
in tbe proceedings. One of the vessels
sent to take the Island was the Concord,
on which Mr. Kneppcr is stationed, and
be was one of tbe two officers sent ashore
to demand the surrender of the Span
lards, which was received.
Tbe participation of Ensign Knepper
in this event recalls to the Jobpstown

One of tbe oldest in this service is Capt.
Henry F. Picking, of Somerset, who is
now in command of lb receiving ship
Walwsb, stationed at Bostou. He gradu
ated from tbe Naval Academy at Annap
olis in lNil, being put ahead one year that
be might enter tbe service of the I'nioo.
He bas since risen to bia present rank.
and will this fall be made Commodore
in the regular course of promotions.
Capt. Picking and Acting Admiral Samp-
n were members of .the same class, one
class below of Vice Admiral Dewey, and
tbe three officers named have always
been intimate friends.
Lieut- Chester M. Kneppor is another
Somerset boy. He is in command of tbe
war vessel MuKee, belonging to the North
Atlantic Squadron, w bich waa recently
ordered from Newport New. in prefer
ence to several other vessels of tbe same
class to the scene of activities in Cuban
waters.
Lieut. John R. Edie, who was on the
New York at the beginning of the pres
ent war and is probably there yet, though
no mention of bim has been made f'r
tue time, is the son of Major John II.
Edie, a Somerset man, who was himself
graduate of West Point, having been.
as in the case ol CapL Pickiug, graduat
ed a year ahead in order to take part in
the Civil War. Tbe Lieutenant's grand
father, on his mother's side, was Commo
dore McCauley, who was in command of
tbe I" nit d States Navy Yard at Norfolk,
Va., at the breaking out of the Civil War
and blew up the yard, including tbe ship
Virginia, afterward the famous Mem-
mac, to prevent it from falling into tbe
bands of the south. His grandfather, on
bis father's side, was the late Colonel
John R. Kdie, who won promotion for
distinguished bravery in the battle of
Lookout Mountian, and was retired from
the army in the seventies.
On land, Charles E. Tayman, of tbe
capital of that county, however, enlisted
back in 'S4 in Company K, First Regi
ment Shafter's former command and
had been promoted to Corporal aud Ser
geant by 1SSS, when be asked for an ex
amination for the grade of Second Lieu
tenant. He passed tbe examination aud
received bis commission, having since
reached the grade of First Lieutenant.
He is with the forces before Santiago,
and in the attack on that city bis regi
ment lost two officers killed and six
wounded, but be seems to have escaped

among the list of casualties.
Sistretiing Accident.
Wesley W. Rector, aged 27 years, was
the victim of an accident Thursday af
ternoon that will deprive him of the
sight of his left eye and, it is feared, may
result in his total blindness. For a year
or more past Rector operated one of the
steam drills at the Somerset Stone Com
pany's quarry, near Milford Station. It
appears that when a heavy blast, which
bad been placed in a rock Thursday af
ternoon, failed to exp'ode he was ordered
to remove it. After the percussion cap
bad been fished out of the bole. Rector
nndertiKk to bore through the charge of
powder with a coal drill. He bad been
at work only a few minute, when the
charge exploded, tbe powder presumably
having been ignited by the beat of tbe
drill. The entire charge flew into the
young man's face, burning it to a crisp
and completely closing bis pyes. Blood
was streaming from bis mouth and nose
aud his bands and wrists were blown full
of burned powder, when bis fellow work
men rushed to his assistance. He was
removed to his home at MilforJ Station,
where Dr. P. F.' Shaffer was railed upon
to attend to his injuries. Saturday he
was brought to the home of Lis mothor-in-law,
Mrs. James B. Weimer, in Som
erset. His face was swollen so oodly that
the attending physician was unr ble to ex
amine his sight until Suudav afternoon.
Dr. Shaffer says that tbe sight of the left
eye is entirely gone, bu; he hopes to save
tbe sight of the right one, although he is
not certain that he will be able to do so.
Tbe unfortunate victim made his home
in' Somerset for several years, and by his.
genial manners and excellent habits won
the friendship of all who learned to
know him.

that professional skill could do brought

Ed. Herald: v
Beliwing thai some of your readers
will be interested in a letter from a mem
ber of Co. I, Fith Pa. Vol., I will employ
tbe time alTorded me this morning in
writing a few aketcbea concerning our
trip south, our location and prosent con
dition. After leaving Somerset and seeing the
crests of the Ailegbenies fade out of
night, the last familiar object to many of
un, night closed in and our opportunities
for sight-seeing waa at an end.
When day dawned we found ourselves
at Zanesville, O. Riding all day Sunday
brought us to tbe "Gateway of the New
South," otherwise known as Chattanooga,
Tenn. We slept in our seats in the train,
tbe same as we bad done the previous
night, and in the same coaches in which
we left Somerset. After such a long and
tiresome ride the boy. weia very anxious
to pitch tents iu Camp Thomas, but it was
8 or 8 o'clock we before we began keeping
step with Captain Kooeer over the old
battle-field of Chick auiauga toward, the
quarter, of tbe Fifth. We were met by
teamsters at the railroad station who
came to haul our baggage to camp. They
told n. some very encouraging (?) stories
in regard to the prevaleocy of typhoid
fever and the death rat per hour among
the 1,-oops. We did not give full credit
to these stories until w. encountered the
stench as we passed through the camp
and saw the long tier, of cots in the hos
pitals, which our imagination easily pic-
ured as being occupied by fever patients.
Recruits receive a certiin amount of
hazing which has a go. si bit of droll
humor connected with iu Before we had
gone far we met a young corporal who
timed our stops by shouting:
"Hud a goisl home and I left left left;
llsd a good home and I left left left P
Some time, whole companies would
cry out "I DO!" in imitation of our tak
ing the oath of enlistment, and here it
dam ned upon ns for tbe first time why
Captain Taylor had Insisted upon such
an emphatic "I DO" at Somerset a few
days previous.
The first few meals we did not have the
regulation army rations, but at present
we are living very soldier-like. By tb.
ay, the young man who has been reared
amid the luxuries of a Somerset county
home is compelled to n-'ke quite a sacri
fice to accustom lib jlf to camp life.
Our camping paraphernalia consists of
meat pan, tin cup, knife and fork, can-
teen, gum blanket and two woolen blank
ets. Tho boy. have already experienced
the novelty of spreading a gum blanket
in the mud and wrapping themselves in
tbe woolen ones before lying down to
dream of home.
Tbe site upon which tbe camp of the
Fifth is pitched is too low for good sanita
ry conditions to exist. Rumor has it that
we will break camp and pitch again
nearer Chattanooga, at a place called
"Snodgrass Hill' w hilst another rumor
la to the eltect that the Pennsylvania
troop, will be sent to Gettysburg to re
main until fall a pleasing speculation
for the boys who long not so much for the
fleshpols of home as for a drink of Penn
sylvania water uad a whiff of her air.
C'bickamauga Park ia said to be about
ten miles square and to cover the battle
fields of Chickamauga and Missionary
Ridge. The undergrowth in tbe timber
portion wr. cut away four or five years
ago by the U. S. Government. There are
many farms in the Park and the boys in
going to rille practice and to drill often
march through cornfields, orchards, etc
Guards are placed so as to protect all
private property. Limestone lies scatter
ed over the surface in great abundance,
aud the soil i. a thick, heavy limestone
clay, too compact to hold water like the
porous Mils of Pennsylvania. Therefore
springs never form aud brook, are either
rushing torrent, after raiua, or el.e dry
channels a few hour, later. On account
of this all water ia cistern water that has
to be caught and held either by an ar
tificial arrangement or a natural basin.
Tbe season and appearance of tbe land
scape much resemble Pennsylvania iu
September. Tbe timber is mostly oak,
pine aud magnolia.
The face of the Hkrald waa quit fa
miliar to the members of Company I, lor
which accept our hearty thanks.
Company K arrived from Tioga connty
this morning and, after getting tbe same
reception that we did, began to pitch
their tents on our right. Tbe Company
is made up of fine looking specimens of
manhood.

After many fond farewells we at last
found ourselves en rout for Chicka

we have fared first-rate ever since. Unci

speeding across Ohio. At Cincinnati we
changed from the B. A O. to the Queen fc

were waved at u. in Kentucky. We re
turned all the greetings with lusty "Sous
of Thunder" yells. At Somerset, Ky
we left the train and gave three cheers.
Here we received the most enthusiastic
greeting en route to Camp Thomas. La
dies on the station platform distributed
tract, and sang "When the Roll's Called
Up Yonder I'll Be There." The boys all
joined in tbe chorus.
We passed Sunday night in our coaches
at Chattanooga, and Monday morning
started for Camp Thomas, all well and in'
the best of spirits. We received a warm
welcome from the boy. of the Fifth, aud
pitci.ed our tents in the street next to
Company H, recruited at Johnstown.

We drill from &3T in the morning until
9 o'clock, and from S until &: o'clock

evening lasts about 'JO minutes, but we

worth two years in tbe army to see the
cavalry dress parade. Our rations are
about all right. , Plenty to eat, butw
would kick on such grub at botne. For
diuiier to-ilay we bail roust boof, potatoes,
bread and coffee. The cone ia excellent.
The worst feature of the camp U the
water, which is warm and rank, full of
fin dirt. We boil It beforo drinking.

A Triumph of Xodorn Surgery.
Tbe reputation of the well-known spe-
cialists, Drs. Sadler and Sigmaun, Mu4
Penn Ave., Pittsburg, Pa., is too well es
tablished to neetl much commeiiL Tbe
thousands of doaf aud blind people who
have been restored to bearing aud sight
by these most eminent surgeons, are by
far the b&t recommendation of tbeir
merits.
To the long list of marvelous operations
which have been performed in tbfir
offices, a new one is added through the
case of Mr. Massey, 107 Third Street, S. S.,
PiUsburg Pa. His right eye-ball waa
pierced by a piece of Steel in February
la -it. The wound healsd after a protract
ed and painful period of recovery, but the
vision was totally gone, which was partial
ly due to a cataract which developed in
the injured eye; partially also to inflam
mation of the tender inside structures
covering the pupil with an impenetrable
membrane.
Dr. Sigmann, to whom Mr. Masse y
entrusted bis case, performed a so called
Iridectomy (making an artificial pupil).
removed the cataract, aud now, eight
weeks after the operation, Mr. Massey is
a happy man. He see (with glasses),
even small objects at a long distance, ami
can read coarse print. Indeed, a Triumph

Esr Ton Aro Xr. Hoover.
Two week, ago our farmer friend Fran
cis Hoover, of Black township, left a stalk
of timothy measuring .5 feet 2 inches at
this office with tho request that we in
quire of the farmers of the county If any
could beat it.
Wednesday Farmer James Seibert, of
Milford township, a neighbor of Farmer
Hoover's, brought in a half dozen stock,
ot timothy, the longest of which marked
5 feet 5 i inches, "and I wasu't looking
for tbe tallest grass on tbe farm," observ
ed our friend "Jim," half apologeti
cally. Friday morning Farmer Joseph Mey
ers, also of Milford township, left a bunch
of timothy at this office, compared with
which Farmer Hoover's appear, to b of
a dwarf variety. Farmer Meyers stalks
measured 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 8 inches,
aud he claim, that be bas a meadow,
which was recently reclaimed by judi
cious draining from a awamp on which
nothing bat oull rushes grew, on which
the entire stand of grass will average
over 5 feet lnieighL
Farmer H. U. Gardner, whose fertile
fields skirt the Laurel Hill mountain be
tween Bakersville and Edie read of Far
mer Hoover's tall timothy with consider
able amusement, as he had many stalks
that he knew without measuring could
discount anything of tbe Black township
hayinan. Going Into his meadow Friday
morning be carelessly picked np a hand
ful that grew nearest the bars and tossed
them Into bis buggy and brought tbem to
this office. Tbe first one measured
was just S feet 8 inches, aud the second
one 6 feet 3 inches. He says that Mr.
Hoover will have to grow something else
than timothy if he want, to west the
belt.
Farmer George G. Bittner, of Lincoln
township, does not make a specialty of
-rowing tall timothy, but ha declare, that
he has a patch in which every stalk will
measure five feet and over, and to prove
his assertion be brought a number, tbe
tallest one measuring 5 feet '8 inches to
this office on Saturday.
Josiah W. Fritz, of Somerset township,
smiled a good natured smile wheu he read
of Farmer Hoover's tall timothy, and
going iuto his meadow plucked several
stalks, which measured 5 feet 10 inches.
He brought tbem to the Herald office
Monday morning and left his compli
ments for Mr. Hoover.
And now comes a Cambria county far
mer through the columns of the Johns
town Tribone:
Mr. Charles Haynes, of Upper Yoder
township, read in the Tribune a few
day. ago that M. Francis Hoover, of
Black township, Somerset couuty, was
desirous of bearing from any on who
could beat his record for tall, timothy,
which was five feet one inch. Mr.
Haynes believed that Ctmbria was
equal to tbe task and went Iuto tbe bill
side hayfield near his home, where be
pulled half a dozen stalks, which,
when measured, were found to rang
from five feet three aud one-half Inches
to six feet. Mr. Haynes say. ha has
plenty more of tb name kind, and
he accordingly bold, the timothy

Cotsmnndor of Grand Ii'.nnd.
The American naYy under Admiral
Dewey bas won another important vic
tory Jn the capture of Grand Island, in
Subig Bay, Island of Luzon, the chief
harbor of tb Philippines. Chief Aguin
aldoon July 6in'orined Admiral Dewey
that the insurgents bad full possession of
So. big Bay, with the exception of the
large island controlling the entrance. A
strong Spnnisb garrison occupied the isi
nnd, he said, nnd be was unable to take it.
Admiral Dewey, early on tb next day,
July 7, dispatched the cruiser Raleigh
and tbe gunboat Concord, with emphatic
orders to CapL J. B. Cogblan to take the
island and capture tb garrisnu. As soon
as tb cruiser, arrived tbey .helled the
principal points on tb island, utterly des
troying the earthwork and other fortifi
cation, and laying the torpedo station in
ruins. Captain C gblan then sent ont s
launch with a message to tbe garrison,
demanding surrender. Tbere was no re
sponse, and tbe Raleigh finally sent a six
inch shell through the commander's
house. Tbe white flag was instantly run
np on the ruins of the earthworks. Cap
tain Coghlan sent Lieutenant Rodman, of
the Raleigh, and Ensign nepper. of the
Concord, with a landing party to demand
absolute surrender. The Spanish Colonel,
Rio, realized bis hopeless position, made
submission, and gave up his sword. The
500 men comprising tbe garrison were
made prisoners and their rifles taken
from them. Forty thousand rounds of
ammunition t nd one Hotchkiss gun were
also captured.
This victory gives tbe Americans con
trol of Subig Bay, a Spanish strategic
point, and frustrates tbe Spanish plans to
prolong their dominion in the Pbilppines.
The Spanish were trying to protect it
with submarine mines to make it ready
for occupancy by tbe Spanish fleet, sup
posed to be on its way from Spain. Ad
miral Dewey's possession of Subig Bay
defeats Germany's supposed plans to in
terfere in the Philippines. The capture
was designed and executed with great
dash nnd bravery, and iu success has sur
prised the Germans and other foreigners
there.
The insurgents then came toCaviteand
reported tbe situation to Chief Aguinaldo,
who informed Admiral Dewey that when
the Raleigh and Concord entered Subig
Bay tbe German warships left very sud
denly. Although the attitude of the Ger
mans Is still irritating. Admiral Dewey
is managing them with great diplomacy.
He does not expect any trouble with
tbem.
Tbe blockade will hereafter be more
rigid. Only tbe supply ships of the Am
erican and foreign fleets are allowed to
enter. Tb Esmeralda, arriving from
HoDg Kong on the 9th, with passengers,
was stopped and o:dered to sea. The
long-expected refrigerating steamer Cul
goa, from Australia, with a cargo of fresh
beef, arrived aud was welcomed enthusi
astically by the sailor, and soldiers.
