While it is absolutely certain that tbe
Fifth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers
will Ikj tuuptered out of the army there is
still some doubt as t the precise day on
which the muster out will take place. It
was understood at tbe lime theorgiual
order was issued that it contemplated
giving tbe boys an additional ten days'
pay after the expiration of the thirty
days' furlough. This was done la order
that the officers might have ample op
porturjity to complete their rolls and re
ports before the paymaster nd muster
ing officer arrived. It is not known
either which Company .will be mustered
out first, and since there are twelve coin
pauies in tbe regiment and each Com
pacy hulls from a different town, and
most of theiu from different counties, it
is not probable that tbe entire regiment
will be mustered out on the 2Hih inst,
which is ten days after the expiration of
tbe thirty days' furlough.

it offers to provide transportation for 000
men, including the band. Tbe regimen

viution. The committee evidently feel
that they can not afford to defray tba
expense of transporting the entire reg'
iaicDt and it .8 their idea to have each
Company represented by at least 50 men
Colonel Burchfield has written to
Second Lieutenant Iloblitzell, of Com
pauy I, asking how many of his men
would be willing to go. The Lieutenant
replied that he felt positive that 75 would,
and he now thiuks that every man who is
able to travel would be glad to be in
cluded. In case the Fifth accepts the in
vitation the officers will doubtless be
called upon to select the men to go.
Whether or not the regiment will go to
Philadelphia is another question. Ac
cording to the latest ' instructions frooi
Msjor Thompson, the mustering officer,
the regiment will be mustered out about
October 2S. If this is the case the regi
ment can not accept the invitation. If,
as 8eoms probable however, the date of
muster is postponed, the regiment may
participate in the jubilee, after securing
permission from Secretary of War Alger.
Captain Miller, the mustering officer
who will assist in mustering out the Fifth,
was in Aitoona on Monday, w ben be told
Colonel Burchfield that the date of mus

November 720 days later than was orig

here yesterday when they turned in their

Lieuteuat Eck is a handsome young
officer. He has command of tbe Com
pany during the absence of Captain
Kooser. The Johnstown Democrat of
yesterday says that Companw II, will be
mustered out on November 7.b, and it is
probable that Company I will be muster
ed out about the same lime. Meanwhile
the boys will have to report at tbe armory
in Mammoth Block every day, just the
same as if they were in camp. This will
have to be until tbe Company is muster
ed out or the furlough extended. The
boys of Company I are anxious to learu
whether they will be called upon to take
part in the Peace Jubilee in Philadelphia.
FI2ST FATAL ACCIDE5T AT IEE LIS TIE
Prominent Young Kan of 5ar Friedeni
Craihad to Daath by a Falling Bock.
The first fatal accident at Listie during
the six years the mines at that place have
been in operation occurred about i o'clock
Friday night, when Theodore Kiinmell,
the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. F.dw ard Kimiuell, was caught under
a in IMS of falling rock and crushed to
death. Louis Shaffer, an experienced
miner and young Kimmell were engaged
in wideuing a heading to make room for
a side track in connection with the pro
posed electric haulago, when the latter
without thinking of tbe danger he was
subjecting himself to, took a position
auder a mass of ruck, which be bad pre
viously loosened, and which be had neg
lected to securely prop. Shaffer turned
to warn bioi of bis danger, but the warn
ing was too late, as the rxrk cam a down
upon the unfortunate young man, who
was in a kneeling pesition, killing him
instantly. v
Shaffer secured the assistance of several
of his fellow-miners and together they re
covered the body, and later removed it
to the home of bis heart broken parents.
The funeral took place on Sunday, and
was largely attended by the relatives and
friends of tbe unfortunate yount man,
and by tbe management of the Listie
Company. Oat of respect for the dead
man the Listie Company suspended work
03 Saturday.
The day before the accident Mine Boss
McKee bad warned the miners about
tbeir negligence and carelesenens in plac
ing mine props and insisted on their doing
so in the future more carefully than in the
past, and it is said that a fellow miner
impressed upon Shaffer and Kimmell tbe
urgent necessity of looking carefully after
their props, but tbe repealed admonitions
appear to have been of no avail. At tbe
time of tbe accident Shaffer and Kimmell
had their props lying alongside the track
within a few feet from where they should
have set them, but for some reascn or
other they did not do so, and it cost the
young man his life.
Tbe management of the Listie Company
feel this death keenly, as it is the first to
have happened at tbeir mines, and more
especially since itoccurcd after repeated
warnings.
The acting Corouer r.nd the State Mine
Inspector after examination exontraud
the Listie Company of all blame.

"BOB" BEEBXTS TALES
Entertainingly of Hie Viiit to Porto Sieo.
Charles F. UhL Jr., George Harrison
and Robert E. Beeiita, notice of whose
thrilling experience on a burning gov
ernment transport en route from Santiago
to New York, was made last week, ar
rived in the latter port Tuesday evening
and came to Somerset on F"riday. "We
would have been detained in New York
for two weeks bad it not been for Gov
ernor Hastings," said Mr. Beerits, in
speaking of the party's escape from qu ar
autine. "You possibly remember that it
was reported that smallpox bad broken
out on the Obdani. When we sighted
Fire Island we were met by the quaran
tine boat and informed that we would be
held for two weeks. The ship doctor of
the Obdam explained to the quarantine
physician that the report of suirllpox on
board was a mistake, and asked him to in
quire from bis superior officers if the re
port bad not been officially contradicted.
He promised to do so and returned an
h Mir later to say that it had not and that
we would be kept on board the Obdam
until after it had been thoroughly fumi
gated, etc. A short time after this a tug
came puffing up with Governor Hastings'
party on board. He bad come down the
bty for the purpose of securing the mem
bers of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Ree
iment who were on the Obdam, and as
soon as the tbe tug came within hailing
distance he called out: "I want all mem
bers of tbo Sixteenth Pennsylvania and
'1 Pennsylvanians to come with me."
We hastily collected our traps and went
on board the tug with the Governor and
were soon landed iu New York.
I don't want any Porto Rico in mine,"
continued Mr. Beerits. "It's a beautiful
place and all that, but the natives are un
civilized and filthy. Why, do you know,
they don't know anythiog about a wash
board down there; and when they wash
their clothing, which is not often, tho
women take it to a creek and rub it
against smooth stones nntil it is clean, or
partially so. The children of both sexes
run stark naked uutil they are eight or
cine years old. .
"I saw no inducement to go into busi
etss, unless it would be to go into dairy
ing. People down there know nothing
about butter, the little they have coming
u small tin cans from Copenhagen. Tbe
natives, however, are sure of the quality
of their milk, since the milkman drives
frjm three to six cows, with their horns
roped together, through tho streets, stop
ping before the residences of his custom
ers to milk tbeir order from the cow's
udder into a bottle. They have excellent
drug stores, but there is not a soda foun
tain on the island. The hotel accommo
dations are miserable, meat being the
principal item on the bill of fare, but if
tbe guests visited the meat market they
would not eat even that.
"The military road from Ponce to San
Juan, a distance of 80 miles, is as smooth
tho entire distance as a sawed stone
pavement. We made the journey in one
day, in two carriages drawn by diminu
tive ponies, that were kept on a dead run
between the ten mile relays. We experi
enced some difficulty in getttng through
the Spanish line, tbe commanding officer,
General Henry, having declined to issue
passes to us, but a newspapercorrespend
ent gave us a tip and we undertook to get
through. Arriving at tbe most advanced
American outpost we were held np by
General Ernst, until he wired to General
Brooke, at San Juan, if four young gen
tlemen, bearing passports, should be al
lowed to pass. Two hours later we were
permitted to continue our journey aud
we entered San Juan without further in
terruption. We called upon Admiral
Schley a his hotel, and he accorded us
an interview of au hour and a half. We
caught ouly slight glanoes of the Spanish
and Porto Rican upper classes, since tbey
only leave their homes on Sundiy even
ing! for a promenade. The natives are
not permitted to walk npoa the same
idewalks used by thein. Sv.ue of tht
Spanish senorettas are very pretty, but
they are never allowed to escape the vig
ilauce of their chaperoues. No, I don't
want any more of Porto Rico in mint).
and as for Santiago, it is the dirtiest and
hi lest smelling hole imaginable.
"About our experience on the burning
transport? Weil, it was pretty exciting
for au hour or two, as you cau imagine it
would be when the steel partition divid-
ug the coal from the ammunition was
so hot that when one expectorated agaiust
it, it wo'jlu bo followed by a report as
loud as the crack of a pistol, and the aa-
iva would disappear in vapor.
"Some of tbe soldiers were terribly
frightened; one fellow, I remember, ran
below only to reappear on deck w"a a
ife-preserver and eight days' rations
trapped around his shoulders.
"Tnere was excitement every hour.
however, from the time we landed at
once until wo returned to New York.
The wildest kind of rumors were set
afloat hourly. One time it would be that
Franoe and Gerniauy bad formed an alli
ance with Spain, ana that Great Britain
aud Russia had taken up the cudgels for
America, and, strange as it may seem,
nearly every person on the island believ
ed the rumors."

on bail, but the Pritts boy weie unable
to secure bondsmen, and were brought to
jaiL Over a dozen other persons are
wanted fur the charges, but the officeis
could not locate them. Tbe Pritts boys
are both married and have families, but
neither had ever seen a street car, jail or
courthouse till brought here. They bad
never been to Connellsviile, which is
within a dozeu or so miles of their home.
and the questions they asked on the way
from their Mountain homes to jail were
highly amusing and not a few of them in
teresting.
Both the beys and their families reside
at the home of William Pritts, the noto
rious moonshiner, who is charged with
the murder of hU former associate, "Yo-
ney" Hosteller.. Henry is the old moon
shiner's son. Officers Fee and Murphy
bad a long conversation with the wily old
chap who has baffled the attempts of
many shrewd I". S. secret service men to
capture him. Pritts told them be baa
been at home all the time and was there
even when officers were scouring the
mountains in posses looking for him. He
displayed a big scar on his right arm, the
remnant of an ugly bullet wound received
n an enooautoV wlth' the officers. Pritts
is 62 years old. His home Is an bumble

A Cat Crocaed Eye Operated Upon in a
Boy of Six Years.
Parents of children with crossed eyes
are generally of tbe opinion that an oper
ation iu cases of young children is dan
gerous and by delaying the latter, spoil
a iuot important part of the operation,
namely, tbe chances of recovering the
sight in the inflicted eye or eyes. A
crossed eye is excluded from the act
seeing and invariably becomes weaker.
Drs. Sigmaun and Sadler, Not Penn
avenue, Pittsburg, Pa., have operated on
crossed eyes in children nnder six years,
and the happy result of Master George
Au, a s!x-yar-old boy of No. 115 7th
street, whose eyes were recently straight
ened by Dr. Sigmann, is a new testimo
nial of the great su ex-ess of these well
known specialists. People living io the
country should take advantage of tho
cheap excursiou rates for the Pittsburgh
Exposition to consult these eminent sur
geons in all ailineuts of Eje, Ear, Nose
and Throat.

The flag forwarded by tbeStato Central
Committee to Chairman Berkley is one of
tbe largest pieces of buntingever brought
to this town. Its dimensions are 20x.'iG
feet and it will require a large pole to
hold it. Chairman Berkley expects to
have a flag-raising immediately before
tbe Republican meeting to be held here
on the 2lh inst.
The time of year is here when farmer
aud trucker is almost at his wits' end to
k eep gu n ners and trespassers off h is prem
ises. Fruit and nuts are considered com
mon property by many people) who are
considered honest in other matter, and
tbe gunner thinks a well-laden chestnut
tree as having been placed in his way to
requite him for the failure to bag the
buzzing quail or tbe bounding rabbit.
In this connection it might be well to re
mind the thoughtless that the law against
trespassing provides that all persons
wilfully taking and carrying away fruit,
vegetables, plants, fruit or ornamental
trees, vine or shrub are liable to a fine
not exceeding S50, and an imprisonment
not exceeding alxty days.

If there is any one thing that tbe
head of a great store looks after
closely. It is close toying. It is
this close buying that sums np the
phrase "food store keeping." We
have studied buying for filly years
and we think we know something
about it. And the people entertain
that same view also. If they did
not it would tie impossible for us to
enjoy the exceedingly large trade
that we do all over the United
Slates. Here is a case in point
where two classes of dress good,
both black and colored, were well
bought and we share our advant
