on tbe roal in that village, and had both
if her legs broken ab.ive the knees, and
her right arm badly crush-.! above the

be expected under the circumstances,
and tbe attending physicians hope to be
able to save her life, and think that they
will not be called upon to amputate her
arm.
. After spending a week at home and
most of the time in bed as a result of tbe
murderous assault made upon him by
"Ben" Eddy and Harry Zarfoss, who
escaped from tbe county jail, Deputy
Sheriff George M. Baker reported for
duty at the Sheriffs office on Moudxy
morning. He still shows traces of the
cruel beating he received, both of his

but was fortunately intercepted by parties
who witnessed the accident, thus saving
the child and buggy from injury.

A hot journal in the in ichlnery at tbe
electric powerhouse on Saturday evening
caused Some.r-et to be enveloped in dark
ness for a period of two or three hours,
during which time it is safe to say more
profanity was indulged in by certain
shop keepers and business men than h-ts
beeu charged to their acxuut during the
preceding eight or ten years iu which tbe
t-iwn has beea illuminated by electricity.
Tbe light service has been so excellent,
and so few accidents have occurred to the
machinery at tbe power-bouse during the
past few years, that patrons of the ooni
ptny were totally uuprepared to have
this means of illumination cut off, cen
temporarily. The unavoidable aoei deint,
however, in addition to imp Ming extra
labor upon the recording angel, presented
an opportunity for tbe resident of Som

illuminating their homes, places of busi

Miss Clara B. Rhoads, the popular
young saleslady at I'hl's dry goods and
niiiiinery establishment, has accepted a
position in the Johnstown store ol John

with the many patrons of that large es
tablishment. Peter Lanning, one of the most pros
perous farmers of Brown County, Kan ,

vate hospital in Lexington, Ky., where
he is receiving every possible attention.
It was not known here that the Captain
was ill until Messrs. Harry Sipe and
William Winters returned on Friday
from a visit to Camp Hamilton, when
they reported that he had gone to a hotel
in Islington for a few days. They re
ported that the Captain was pale and thin
and in their opinion was far fiom being a
w ell man. Saturday F. J. Kooser, Esq.,
received a letter from his son saying that
he was "under the weather," and the

de:r of Lexington, who is a friend eif the
Koer family, saying that the Captain
was comfortably located in a hospital.
Monday's Pittsburg papers report that
Captaiu Kooser has obtained sick leave
and will return to his home. If he Is able
to travel he will probably arrive here

Recent Death.
Edward Bevins Ellis, eldest son f Mr.
and Mrs. John Ellis, formerly resident
of this place, died at the home of his pa
rents in Vnioutown, ou Tuesday morn
ing, September Ctb, aged thirty-two years
Death resulted from dysentery. The re
mains were brought here on Thursday,
when interment was made in the Luther
an cemetery, the funeral taking place
from tbe railroad station.
Magdelena Sipe, widow of Michael
Sipe, who died about eighteen months
ago, passed away at the old homestead
near Jennertown at 10 o'clock Monday
morning, aged seventy-one year. She
had been ill for ten days suffering from
an obstruction in the intestines. Sunday
she underwent a surgical operation at
hands of the Drs. Limber, of this place,
who hoped to save her life through this
means, but the trouble wm beyond the
reach of professional skill. Deceased was
a consistent member of the Reformed
Church aud was highly esteemed in tbe
community in which she lived. She is
survived by a family of grown children.
Xo'better evidence cf tb9 lack of race
p ejudice or distinction in Pennsylva
nia can be cited than the funeral of Grace
Smith, a respectable young colored girl,
w hose frail body was laid to rest on Sat
urday last by six of the best kuown young
white men of this place. The fact that
white men were called upon to act as
pall-bearers was made necessary on ac
count of the colored population of the
town being limited to two or three fami
lies. The young men responded to the
call of duty without a thought of the color
of the young woman, who had fallen a
victim o dread ouusu.upt on at the home
of her widowed mother. Tbe last days
of the dying girl were comforted by the
kindly ministration of ladies of the
Disciple Church and by Elder Mullen
dore, the 1-jcaI pant-ir of that denomina
tion. Mrs. Catherine Mong. widow of the
late John Mong formerly a well known
Commissioner of this county, died at an
early hour Saturday morning at the home
of hereon John B. Mong -one mile east
fStnyestown. at theadvanced age of eigh
ty seven years. A few days before tho
aged lady accidentally fell from the porch
of her sou's .residence to tbe grouud, adis
taneeof five feet, sustaining a compound
fracture of one of her thighs. Her enr
feebied condition wa unable to with
atindthe shock cause.! by the fracture,
and death came as a welcome relief from
suffering. The remains were brought to
Hoinerset on tbe 10 o'clock train Monday
morning and tha funeral Uk place from
the railroad station, internum be'ng
maoe in the Lutheran cemetery by tbe
side of her husband, who passed away
some twenty years mgo. She i survived
by the following children: Mrs. Wil
liam P. Huston, of Somerset; John and
George Moui. of near Stoyestown; Mrs.
M. V. Soroer, of Pittsburg, Mrs. John
Brubakerand Mrs. Daniel Bru baker, of

The Fifth Regiment Pennsylvania
Volunteers, including Company I of
Somerset county, will o mustered out
of the service at Clearfield, Pa., the regi
mental headquarters, orders to that end
having been issued at the War Depart
ment on Friday. The twelve companies
composing the regiment will return to
the places of muster, where they will be
furlougbed for thirty days, at the expira
tion of which time they will proceed to
Clearfield, where they will be honorably
discharged from the army.
Up to tho hour of going to press no
definite knowledge aa to the exact time
of tbe arrival of the soldier boys had been
received here, but Captain Kooser has
writteu to his father that the regiment
will break camp on Thursday, probably
in the afternoon, when it is presumed
the regiment will start for home. Unless
delayed en route. Company I should ar
rive in Somerset Friday afternoon, and
it is generally believed that the soldier
boys will be here at that time.
Notwithstanding the Fifth did not par
ticipate in any battles during the wai,
tbe fact remains that the members of that
command offered their best services in
their country's defense and left their
homes resolved to sacrifice their lives, if
need be, for tne flag.
The hardships they havo endured is
perhaps best illustrated by the large
number A their comrades who have been
stricken by disease and who have been
sent to various hospitals and to their
homes to be nursed back to health.
Every member of the regiment did his
full duty as much as if he had fought tbe
Spaniards before Santiago, and is entitled
to the gratitude of the nation.
Owing to the fact that it is not yet posi
tively known when the soldier boys will
be here, no public action looking towards
a reception to Company I ha been taken,
but a public meeting w ill be held iu tbe
Court House this evening, when com
mittees will be appointed to make all
necessary arrangement to receive them
in a manner befitting the occasion.
The "send-off" given Company I upon
iu departure for the war should not be a
marker for the welcome that should be
extended to the gallant boys upon their
return home. The company is composed
of young men from all sections of tbe
county, and it is needless to say that their
relatives and friends will be here to wel
come them. Every brass band and drum
corps in tbe county will doubtless be
here, and tbe occasion should be made
one long to be remembered.
Latter From Soldier "Jos."
A letter from Joseph Levy, of Com
pany D, Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
dated Honolulu, August 30tb, and re
ceived here yesterday, says ;
"After fiddling about for more than two
months we are now just about half way
to Manila, where we hoped to be a month
ago, and with tbe chances of never reach
ing theie now staring us in the face.
When we arrived here we learned tha;
we were to wait for orders coming on the
Scandia, due here this week, so we don't
know whether we are to continue our
journey, or are to remain here aud keep
the children of McKiniey'a new-boru
aunex in line.
The trip across the water was delight
ful. The weather was fine all tbe v.-ay
except tbe first day out, when we struck:
a fog and a heavy sea. The engines broke
down iu inidocean and we were tossed
around like a tub for six hours. While
tbe break was being mended we all took
a plunge in the ocean. Even Governor
Hogg, of Texas, who is with us, dipped
his 3o0 pounds of pork in the brine. He
presented a very comical sight. Nearly
every man aboard excepting myself was
seasick. I was assigned to the steward
for duty as clerk shortly after leaving
'Frisco. My duties keep me on board
ship, while tbe other boys are camping
about four miles from the city. Tbe
weather is delightfully warm here dur
ing tbe day, not at all oppresive, while
the nights are cool. Lieutenant-Colonel
Barnett was seasick throughout the en
tire voyage, but he is all right now aud
went out to camp this evening. I never
felt better in my life end am gaining
flesh every day."

Parents of children with crossed eyes
are generally of the opinion that an oper
ation in cases of young children is dan
gerous and by delaying the latter, spoil
a most important part of the operation,
namely, tbe chances of recovering tbe
sight in the inflicted eye or eyes. A
crossed eye is excluded from tbe act .f
seeing and invariably become weaker.
Drs. Sigmanu and Sadler, SCI Penn
avenue, Pittsburg, Pa., have operated on
crossed eyes in children under six years,
and the happy result of Master George
Aul, a six-year-old boy of Xo. 115 7th
street, whose eyes were recently straight
ened by Dr. Sigmann, is a new testimo
nial of tbe great success of these well
known specialists. People living In the
country should take advantage of tbe
cheap excursion rates for the Pittsburgh
Exposition to consult these eminent sur
geons in all ailments of Ee, Ear, None
and Throat.

TH2 I5TIBE3TIK0 USEE WILL CASS.
History of a Con't Decided by Jadgs
Barker.
From the Johnstown Tribune, Kept 7.
In tbe TribuD6' court report Se-ptem-
ber 6, brief reference waa made to the
Court's deoisien in the Pearson Fisher
will case, which heaonouneedSeplemlier
6, at the same time stating toat tbe opin
ion would not be filed until to-morrow.
Tbe case is oue of unusual interest, not
only to tbe legal profession, but to the
general public, and we append a short
history of it, tbe facts therein contained
being the same as presented to the Court
In a case slated, upon which argument
w as made some time since, and therefore
the same upon which tbe Judge based his
decision. These facts are as follows 1
Pearson Fisher, of this city, died single
and testate February 5, lfflii. leaving to
survive him one brother and three sisters,
viz: Milton B, Fisher, Annie C. Fisher,
Helen Jouen, and Susan E. Byron, all of
whom were married except Annie C,
and three nephews and two nieces, viz:
P. Fisher Jones, W. Hubert Jones, chil
dren of bis sister Helen, and Edgar O.
Fisher and Lewell Fisher, children of his
deceased brother John Fisher ; Kitlie
Clawson, daughter of his deceased
brother George C. Fisher. Testator's
estate consisted of real, personal, and
mixed property.
To each of hia nephews he made be
quests of specific sums aud chattels.
The remainder of hia estate he devised
and bequeathed, one half to his sister
Annie C. Fisher; from which share be
directed to be deducted the sum of $5,000,
being the consideration money for a lot
of ground conveyed by him to Annie C
during his lifetime, which said sum of
$0,000 he directed should be added to tbe
remaining one-half of his estate, which
be devised and bequeathed, share aur".
share alike, to bis brother Milton ii.
Fisher and sisters Helen Jones and
Susan E. Byron their heirs and ensigns
forever.
There was, however, this quslifyiug
language in reference to the devise and
bequest to his brother Mil'oa B.
"Should m brother Milton B. Fisher's
wife survive him, my said brother, the
share devised and bequeath'id to him,
my said brother Milton B. Fisher or
so aiuch as shall remain unexpended at
bis death, shall go to my said sisters, viz:
Annie C, Helen, and Susan E., share
and share alike, their heirs and assigns
forever." Tbe testator appointed his sis
terAnnie C. Fisher Executrix of his
will, and letters testamentary were duly
granted to her February lo, 1SS5, when
she took upon herself the duties of said
trust.
The Executrix, in compliance with the
provisions of the will, transferred and
delivered to Milton B. Fisher the follow
ing items of personal property viz: Jan
uary IS, lUtd, cash, 11,830; January 20,
ltiW, cash fsO; March 1, 1SUG, cash 300;
April 2, 1&, cash, $07 aggregating fZ,
Z7, Which sum was deposited in the First
National Bank of this city. During the
period from January 18, lMtfci, to April 2,
131, Milton B. Fisher drew checks
ag dust said accountamonnting to f k'C 50,
leaving a balance in the Bank to his
credit at his death of f 1,333 5a Also on
the same date the Executrix transferred
to Milton B. Fisher tue following bonds,
stocks, and securities: Five share of
Pennsylvania Railroad stock, value, f50;
two shares First National Bank stock of
Johnstown, value, 250, and one thousand
dollars registered bonds of tho United
States, value, ft.lSS; fifty-six shares
Cambria Iron Company stock, value,
fA240: Chemical Works stock, value, o0;
nine shares Johnstown Water Company
stock, value, 1,035.
At the date of Milton B. Fisher's de
cease, May 6, ISM, the increment, or div
idends, was fi, and on tho Pennsylvania'
Railroad stock, 4 50. Immediately on
the transfer of the said stocks, bonds, and
securities, January lKi, to Milton B.
Fisher, he placed them in the custody
and keeping of his sister Annie C.
Fisher since which time they have re
mained in her possession.
Milton B. Fisher died, intestate and
without issue. May 5, 1SKG, leaving to
survive him a widow Mary E. Fisher
and three sisters Vnnie CfFisher, Helen
Jones, and Susan E. Byrou devisees
named, and noted above, in Pearson
Fisher's will.
Letters of administration were granted
to Milton B. Fisher's widow Mary E.
Fisher May i, l who brought suit
to recover possession of the several items
aud articles of personal property above
enumerated. Her case was conducted by
Attorneys W. Horace Rose, of this city,
and F. J. Kooser, of Somerset. The
claim wa that they belonged to the
estate of M ilton B. Fisher, and that tbey
could not revert to tbe sisters of Pearson
Fisher, as be had provided in his will
when the bequest to Milton B. Fisher
was made.
The interests of the sisters of Pearson
Fisher were intrusted to 11. II. Kuhnand
R. S. Murphy, Esq., of this city. Their
contentions, as presented to tbe Court,
were as follows :
First, That tbe items and articles of per
sonal properly, enumerated and describ
ed, and the title to which is In dispute,
are identified by the case stated as part of
the estate ot Pearson Fisher, the testator
named.
Sexnd, That the provisions of tbe sev
enth paragraph of the testator's will
limits Milton B. Fisher's interest in the
rial estate devised to a liie estate; that,
therefore, the personalty bequeathed
uod ir tbe same provisions, being bleud
ed w ith tbe realty, is subjected to tbe
earn 3 conditions and limitations as that of
the real estate,
Taird, Therefore, the said bequest to
Milton B. Fisher was not an absolute gift,
but only a qualified interest in tbe same,
with authority an I power to use the in
crement and so much of the principal as
might be necessary during bis lifetime,
and at his death his wife Mary E. Fish
er having survived him, the balance of
said personalty remaining unexpended
at hU death, together with his interest in
tbe real estate, was a devise aud bequest,
or gift, over to the testator" three sis
ters Annie C. Fisher, Helen Jones, and
Susan E. Byron which bequest or gift
took effect at the time of Milton B. Fish
er's decease.
Tbe view set forth in the above con
tention is evidently tbe one entertained
ty the Court, since tbe decision is that
the estate in controversy reverts to the
sister of Pearson Eisber. The amount
in dispute is between fi.000 and 7,000.
