n Tuesday counsel for the defendant
in the libel suit of Iladerman vs.Thropp,
growing out of the recent cainpaIgn for
tbe Congressional indorsement of Bed
ford County, filed an answer to the
plaintiffs declaration, and in it entered
the general plea of ' not guilty" to all the
Plaintiff-, allegations. By this Mr.
Thropp denies all the serious charges
made by Mr. Iladerman, and the onus is
thus thrown upon the plaintiff to prove
and make good all that is alleged in the
declaration tiled. The case is now at
isue,aud Mr. Iladerman and his attor
ney, it is said, will do all in their power
to bring it to an early trial. They will
i:,ake a strong effort to have the case come
up at September Court.
Judge Bell, of Blair county, granted
an injunction to J. W. Gardner, the eldest
.n of Andrew tiardoer of Tyrone, on
Monday.restr .itiing the father from mar
rying Mrs. Siran E. Graffiti, of that
plai-e, which he was iutent upon doing.
This ra:her unusual method of stopping
a wed ling was the outcome of the Gard
ner children- displeasure at their fath
ers determination to marry a woman
ho- "repute iu the community is such
lliat Mr. Gardner would not undertake a
c .nlract with her m ere he in his right
ni-ud." The court was asked to appoint
a ftiinmissioo iu lunacy on the old gentle
man, but refused to do so on the ground
that such a petition should be made in
open court. Pending such n action the
court granted the injunction restraining
all justw-es or ministers of the gospel
from marrying the couple. Mr. Gardner
is quite well off.
The preseut sultry weather is e xtreine
ly favorable to the development of the
potato blight, and the effect is already
noticeable in some fields of early pota
toes. Tbe blight first appears on the
vines, and its presence may be readily
dftected by the premature wilting of
the leaves and the decaying of the vines,
uich exhale an offensive smell.
The preventive of blight is tbe spray
ing of the vines with a solution of one
pound of copper sulphate (vitriol) to 50
gallons of water. One fourth pound of
pins green added to this will kill potato
bugs, w hile the vitriol kills the fungus
that is the germ of the blight. It is well
to spray even after potatoes have been
injured as a means of eradicating the
disease. When the tu tiers begin to be
affected the sound ones may be saved,
if sufficiently matured, by digging and
putting in a cjjI place, covered from
sunlight, and some black lime, say one
bu-hel to twenty five of potatoes, scat
tered ainougst them.
The new bankruptcy law, in which
busmms men of the eutire country are
interested, was approved by tbe presi
dent on July 1 and weut into affect im
mediately, with this provision, how
ever. that no petition for voluntary bank
ruptcy shall be riiel within one month of
tbe passage of the act and no petition for
involuntary bankruptcy within four

principal objections to the last national
bankruptcy law. which caused some op

Hundreds of people inup3cted tbe new

apartment in the south-wist corner, sep
arated by a handsome brass railing from

POLITICAL ALLIES TV AXED DOWS.

The Democracy does not have a male
representative JJI the corps; and blind
factional purtian'y toeetb-r with Dpi
lism beerrw to have uw tbe controling
spring of the board's action. It ia pain
ful t contemplate that cur public school
system must be made tbe victim of Jaor
ileism. Vet young men of Democratic
affiliations are cast asHe, when teachers
are to lie elected, without any consideia
lion of their merits or abilities, and some
political henchman is given th coveted
position. Not only tbia, but merit, back
ed by Democratic influence in behalf of
the la tion that lias eutire control of the
iir-ard, is knis'kt J ilown and stung iy
txiMe ingratitudo. Why? liecnuMi the ai
plicani. wa a Democrat. Partisanship
iavurilisiii nei-iiiim have been the curse
of our public schools for years. Somerset
Coonly Democrat.
The foregoing wail from the last issue
of She Somerset County Democrat would
seem to indicate that our "unterrified"'
friends have been "faked" by thair polit-
eat allies in this borough. That was to be
expected, and tbe action of the school
board was no surprise to those who have
beeu watchhtg the actions of that import
ant public body, who have rewirded
work done at tbe primaries" in prefer
ence to work doue iu behalf of the grow-
ng generation and the cause of educa
tion, for a number of years pVtst. But the
Democrat might have gone further and
pointed out baw the schools in various
districts of tb county have been and are
being made t subserve factional inter
ests, not only in the selection of teachers,
but in higher positions in the schools.
Tbe wail of the Democrat, however, is an
acceptable sign that the leaders of that
party will discontinue bartering iu posi
tions iu the public schools, and will be
ready heieafter to discard political affilia
tions when it comes to selecting persons
iu w bono hands is placed the educational,
moral, and physical development of their
children. It was never intended that tbe
public school system should be an aid to
any political machine or faction, and it
never was in this county until the admin-
itraiion of local school affairs fell into the
hands of those who have used them for
their own personal advancement. The
wail of the Democrat has been repeated
in various uectious of the county by per
sons wbo do cot have political axes to
grind, but are anxious that our county
schools should take an advanced position
among the schools of tbe State.

Special Collection for tb Bod Cross.
Few, if any, readers of the newspaper
have failed to realize the work being
done by the Associated Society of tbe
Red Cross in tbe present war between
our country and Spain and its humanita
rian work of ministering to the necessi
ties of the men iu the field and of tbe
suffering Cubans. It has sent many arti
cles of comfort, even of life saving Im
portances our troops, sometimes in re
sponse to the most touching appeals. As
the war has proceeded the demands upon
tbe Red Cross have wonderfully Increas
ed aud more remains to be doue. The
Society therefore appeals, to what has
never been appealed to in vain, to tbe
grand old heart of Pennsylvania, and
asks for contributions to enable it to
carry out its project to save lives to re
lieve suffering to feed the starving to
clothe the naked. A number of well-
known ladies of Somerset, who have been
interested in aiding the Society in the
paMask that a contributor for the bene
fit ofthe Society be lifted in every church
regardless of denomination In Sj:nersel
couuty, and that tbe proceed be deliver
ed to Rev.lliram King, Somerset who has
kindly consented to serve aa treasurer,
aud to see that the fund thus raised
is promptly forwarded to the Philadel
phia office cf the Red Cross. It is urgeut
that his laudable ol.joct be attended to at
once, and it is confidently expected that
the appeal, made in behalf of suffering
huu-anity, will be given a generous re-
spouse.
Straining at a Goat.
KniTou Hekald:
It appears to me that our town council
is straining at a gnat after having
swallowed a camel. A few days since I
received a postal card, signed by
R. E. Meyers, secretary of town coun
cil, notifying me that I must ob
serve greater eoouomy in the future in
the use of water for street sprinkling
for which I pay at card rates and in
sinuating that I have overstepped tbe
privileges for which I pay. I own a busi
ness property fronting some 20 feet on
one of our principal streets, which is as
sessed at say $2,J0. On this I am com
pelled to pay a water tax of some f 10 or
li. My next d jor neighbor owns a prop
erty of about similar value on which be
pays a water tax, but he is not patron
of tbe water works, and I am forbidden
to lay ti.e dust in front ol his place of
business, thus adding to the disconifoit
of my neighbor and pedestrians. Tbii :s
all right in a strictly business sense. If
my neighbor wants to keep tbe dust out
of bis eyes be must pay for it.
But there is another side to this ques
tion. The people of tbe borough of Som
erset are the owners of the water plant.
It was constructed entirely fur their use
and convenience, and it was never in
tended that persons living outside of the
borough, those who do not pay a penny
of municipal tax, should enjoy the con
veniences furnished by tbe water. This
view is not ouly correct from a business
point ot view, but is the only way in
w bich parties liv.ng close to the borough
lines can be induced to ask to be annex
ed, or takeu into the borough. If they
can enjoy the luxury of electric light,
water and street improvements without
having to pay a proportion of the expense
in the way of direct taxation they will
never, and indeed would be great fools if
tb?y should, ask to be taken into the
borough. Let me cite an instance of bow
this abuse of the water privilege is work
ing injustice to property owners and tax
payers generally. We have two or three
large and elegant hotels in town. Tbe
owuers are compelled to pay a bfavy
water tax on the assessed valuation of
their proerty and card rates for water
service, if they avail themselves of it. In
the township several private properties
and at least one hotel are supplied with
water, I presume at card rates, but they
are not called upon to pay a water tax on
their assetttted valuation. The difference is
just here tbe resident of tbe town is com
pelled to pay from So to (1 water tax in
addition to card rates for the use of water,
the hotel proprietors are compelled to
pay from S2o to SU0 water tax in addition
tocardrrtes for water service, while the
non-resident escapes altogether the pay
ment of wate tax.
Now, I contend that tbe people of the
town, for whose benefit and convenience
the water works were constructed and
wbo are compelled to pay for them by
direct taxation, are entitled to more con
sideration than those persons whose
property is outside of tbe borough lines,
aud that they should not be called down,
especially during "dog days" for laying
the dust on our streets.
In this connection it ia not amiss to
emphasize the statement published in
one or more of tbe local papers in regard
to tbe additional expense incurred by the
borough in order to pump sufficient
water to meet tbe demands on tbe reser
voir. I have beard it Intimated that the
revenue secured for water from parties
living outside the borough will not pay
for the add it ioorj labor, wear and tear of
machinery, fuel, etc
In conclusion let me suggest to tbe
Burgess and the members of councilor
atleafit those who have toted tbe priv
ileges of the taxpayers away, that if they
wish to be consistent and above suspic
ion they will recall the postal card di
rections complained of and give the bene
fit ofthe water to those wbo directly
pay for it, whether they are patrons of
tbe plant or not.

Since your last report from Company I

the battlefield reminds me that the Gov

in the way of tablets and monuments
that give the hittory of the ground upon
which they stand in more or less detail.
Wherever a gun was captured the spot is
marked by an immense cast bronze piece,
bolted fast to gigantic blocks of granite,

The following appeared fh the Press of
Cleveland. O., Wednesday evening, ac
companied by the pictures ofthe young
man and young woman wbo indulged in
a lark.
Cupid has been cutting capers around
the offices of tbe Walker Manufacturing
Company. Love creep into strange
places. A manufacturing establishment
is not, as a rule, conducive to the gentle
art of courtship, yet the Walker Compa
ny's office w as the scene of a pretty ro
mance. D. O. Hyatt lives at No. 78 Stone street.
Miss Jennie Beatrice Taylor boards at
No. 2j Franklin avenue. Hyatt is a re
ceiving clerk for the Walker Manufactur
ing Company, and Miss Taylor has
charge of the stationery used by the same
concern.
For over three years the paths of the
young people have crossed ea:h other
many times a day, but no one noticed a
stolen glance or beard a whispered word.
They were apparently too devoted o
their work to devote any of their time
to each other. Accordingly the greatest
surprise prevailed among tbe small army
of employes Wednesday when it became
known that Hyatt aud Miss Taylor had
been married nearly a month. They were
made man and wife In Akron on the
evening of June 30tb.
Tbe bride said to a Press reporter Wed
nesday : "We did it just for a lark and to
see bow surprised all our friends would
be when they found out that we were old
married folks.
"We weut to Akron on tbe A. B. A C.
Thursday evening, June 30th, after the
close of our day'a work In the office. We
were married at the home of John R.
Pisel, No. l.TI Bowery street, at 9 p.m.
Rev. Dr. J. Sheridan, pastor of the North
Hill Presbyterian Church, tied the
knot."
Hyatt baa been with the Walker Com
pany more than ten years. He is a mem
ber of the Fi an klin Ave., M. E. Church.
