At a special Republican Primary elec tion held Thursday afternoon for tbe purpose of naming candidate for the ofliee of Justice of the Peace, made vacant by the death of Oliver Knepper, J.

Mrs. Edward Smith, aged 40 years, died at her home in Stoyestown, on January ZTtb, after many mouthsof suffering from a complication of physic -U disorders. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kantner, formerly of this place, but now of Johnstown. Her husband aud three young daughter- survive her. William P. Fouet, who has been acting as watchman at the Highland Inn, since tbat resort shut up its doors for tbe wiuter, is a victim of grip.

Mr. Fisher has em ployed an architect to draw plans and specifications for a business bouse aud will advertise next week for proposals for the construction of the same. The location is a desirable one. We have no doubt that Senator Quay will retire as a candid tie fjr re-election to tbe United States Senatorship when the two K's kickers Koontz and Ken dallconfront him with the resolutions, prepared in Somerset and read at a recent caucus held in Berlin. It is to be re gretted tbat the resolutions did not em -bodyjtbe remarks of tbe chairman of the caucus when be was requested to attach bis signature thereto.

A statement has been going the rounds of the newspapers that Miss Ella King VogeL daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Vogel, of this place, has accepted an en gagement to go to Porto Rico and teach the children of Uncle Sam's new colony to speak the English language. This, we have been informed is a mistake, Miss Vogel having declined several pi posi tions looking to that end. For two years past M iss Vogel bas been one of tbe most popular and successful teachers in tbe McKeesport public schools, but it is said that she will abondon teaching at tbe conclusion of the present term, when rbe will go to France for the purpse of per fecting her knowledge of French. She will remain abroad until after the Paris exposition. Soldier Joe" Levy's friends have not beard from him since he sailed from Honolulu for Manilla with the recruits for the Tenth Pennsylvania and they are becoming anxious as to bis welfare. In a letter received several weeks since from Corporal Howard Cromwell tbe writer said that he bad met Levy and that he was "fat and saucy." He also stated that "Soldier Joe" was doing duty as Quar termaster's clerk and that be was tired of his job. Cromwell's and Levy's Com panies took part in the fight against the KilipinoH lat Sunday. Frank Tidhrll, firmerly regimental clerk of the T nth. who recently returned from Manila to 1; is b line in Saw Castle, Pa., declares that Corporal Cromwell is the liravet as well as tbe most popular man in tbe regiment. "After Cromwell had been shot twice in the battle of Mai ate," said Tidball, "he kept firing away until hia anup.i.ioQ was exhausted. He didn't seem to know, or to car r, that matter. that he had been wounded. When I It ft Manila Cromwell had recovered from his wounds." Up until bis present sickness Hon. A.

Eaymaa, a Civil War TaUraa, Horribly MutdaUd by a Saw. iDWAiD eouxa eeeass eis heci. Charles F. Raymau, one of the beat known citizens of Erothersvalley town ship and a civil war veteran, met with a horrible death Saturday afternoon, while working at John Seibert's steam saw mill, about one mile distant from bis home, and seven miles east of Somerset. Mr. Raymau had charge of the yard surrounding the mill aud when he had no lumber to stack or other outsid9 duties he frequently assisted the tueu at worit on the mill. About two o'clock Saturday j afternoon be entered tbe mill, and, tak ing a position on tbe carnage, rode to i point directly opposite the rapidly re volving saw. He wore a long coat to protect him from the weather, and the In slant the carriage came to a aland still i gust of wind blew tbe tails of his coat over tbe saw, where they were caught by the sharp teeth aud be was drawn to hia death, his body being frightfully tnulil ted. His left arm was severed at the wrist aud his loft leg, after being cut oif near the hip. was thrown a distance of fifty feet. Tbe revolving disc threw tbe unfortunate uiau in a position where the merciless steel teeth laid opeu bis body tbe entire length and split bis head al most in two pieces. Some time elapsed before his fellow workmen, who were eye-witnesses of the frightful scene, recovered from the shock, but they hurriedly gathered to gether the dismembered body and re moved it to hia late home. Doctor Shaw, of Berlin, was sent for and prepared the body for burial. Tbe news of the deplorable accident soon spread throughout the neighbor hood and hundreds of people called that afternoon and the following day to offer their sympathy to the bereaved family Charles F. Ilayn.an was a son of the late William Rayman, of Brothersvalley township. He followed the occupation of farming up until the outbreak of tbe civil war when he enlisted as a private soldier in Company II, 2llth Pa. VoL his brother-in-law, Oliver Knepper, who died last week, was a member of the same Company. After tbe war he re sumed farming. He was elected Jury Commissioner in 1832 by the Republican party and served as a storekeeper and gua,er In the internal revenue service under the Harrison administration. A gentleman of kindly disposition and genial manners be made friends when ever he went. He was a member of the Brethren Church. He is survived by bis wife, who is a daughter of the late James Pugh, of Som erset township, and by four sons and one daughter, viz : Irvin and James, of Sal isbury: Theodore, of Brothersvalley township; Norman, of Illinois; and Mrs. Win. Peters, of Brothersvalley town ship. He is survived also by two brothers, Uriah, of . Brotherton, and Benjamin, of Berlin, and by several sisters. The funeral took place at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, tbe services being conducted by Kev. D. U. Walker. In terment was inide in the Brethren Church cemetery, one mile east of the late residence of deceased. Tbe funeral was one of tbe largest ever held in Broth ersvalley township. His age was X years, 10 months and 24 days. Edward Goller, who was employed as laborer by the Finkerton Lumber Company, met with a shocking death last Friday evening. He was riding on a lumber train over the narrow guage rail road, running from Pinkerton to the com pany's mill five miles up tbe mountain. when for some unknown reason he jump ed irora the train, and, landing on his head, broke hia neck. Both of his legs were alss broken. Death was instanta neous. He was about thirty years or age and s native of Lower Turkeyfoot town ship. He was well knowo throughout the south of tbe county. Elk Lick Itrlks SattUd. The strike at tbe Merchant Mines in Elk Lick township is happily ended, all tbe imported miners having been dis charged on Saturday. It is said that thorough trial of the electric chain cut ting machines bas demonstrated that they cannot be successfully worked in the Elk Lick region and tbat the ones intro duced by tbe Merchant Mine operators will be thrown out, and electrical haulage substituted, when all of tbe old men will be re-employed at tbe former rate of 40 cents per ton. Tbe strixe was in opera tion for nearly two months and during that time there was no lawlessness on tbe part of the strikers, who enjoyed the active sympathy of the people. To XeCarrsll Bill.

It is thought that the use of chemicals injurious to health is quite general among meat dealers catering to the domestic trade, and a thorough invea- igalioa will be made by the State pure food commission. Samples of beef believ ed to be preserved by salicylic acid are about to be analyzed by tbe State chem ists. Levi Wells, of Harrisburg, -State dairy and food commissioner, in an interview at Pittsburg, said : Injurious chemicals have long been used among dealers in canned goods, and in corned beef, mincemeat and similar goods it was found in such quantities that it was a menace to the public health. It U a comparatively short time since acids came into use in preserving fresh meat, and tbe public, perhaps, was not awsreof tbe extent of tbe practice until the War Department began its investigation. Tbe authorities have bad suspicions for a long time, as it is impossible to keep fresh meat for weeks in the summer without treating it with chemicals of some sort. Tbe materials sold to the curers of meat are manufactured by firms in Baltimore aud Chicago, and have been placed on the market secretly. The acids are not sold publicly, and we find great difficulty in obtaining aamples of tbe stuff on tbat ac count. After an analysis bas been made I shall proceed against all persona found violatisg the pure food laws.! Drink Grala-0 after you havs concluded that yoa ought not to drink coffee.

He was in command of the "Paxtang Boys" during tbe French and Iudiau wars, and in 17ti3 was appointed by the Philadelphia authorities to the super vision of all the block-houses and stock ades from Easton on the Delaware to the Susqtiehanua. When Revolutionary days came, he went into the pulpit with hia gun ou his arm and preached a fiery war sermon and formed a company with his sou Robert at its head ; being too old then to fight himself, he w as given charge of tbe barracks. Rev. John Elder, the "fighting parson," wss the great grand father of Col. Samuel FV'er. On bis mother's side, too, CoL Elder is descended from people of Revolutionary fame. They were the Walkers, his mother being a niece of Jonathan Walker, a former judge of the Supreme court of Pennsylvania. Her cousin, Robert J. Walker, was a member of Presideut Polk's cabinet. On December 10th, 1833, CoL Elder was married to Miss Margaret Armor Bell in Somerset county, ten miles north of the town of Somerset, the groom being then 28 years old aud tbe bride just sweet sixteen. Tbey went to housekeeping at Crossroads, Pa., where CoL Elder en gaged for a short time in the mercantile business.

Their family consisted of twelve.children; or these eight were daughters. The eldest son, William Bell, enlisted at the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion, was wounded while storming the heights of Fredericksburg Dec. 13, 1862, and died in the Armory Square hos pital, Washington, D. C, Jan. 8, 1803. His remains and those of two of his sisters Mrs, Jessie Elder Craighead and Mrs. Fannie E. Johnson are interred in the Allegheny cemetery of Pittsburg. Mrs. Martha J. E.

When he was presented to William McKinley the latter expressed himself as being more honored by his visit than by any other he had received. and during bis remarks Mr. McKinley said : "I am glad to meet this veteran of seventeen presidential campaigns bare to-day, sod I feel proud of tbe fact tbat he Is this year in favor of tbe great doctrine of tbe Republican party and profoundly interested in its success. May bis long and honorable life be still further pro longed, and may his declining years be the best and happiest of his long and use ful career." On the tenth of December, 1318, Col. Elder and his wife had spent 65 years of a happy married life together, and although be has passed his 4(b mile stone the CoL drives his own team of spirited horses with a grace and ease that would do credit to one in tbe prime of life.

There was wild commotion among the brokers on "the curb" when tha divi dends of tbe Standard Oil company were announced y est rday morning, and the rise of several days was wiped out in a twinkling. It resulted in a depreciation of nearly ft.000,0UQ in the market value of John D. Rockefeller's Interest in the various subordinate companies constitu ting the trust, or a loss of about 11,000,000 a minute. The liquidating trustees an nounced that they had divided a sum equal to S3 a ahare oo the corporate stock In their hands and an extra sum of (3 a share, payable March 15. Last year the extra dividend, as it is commonly called, was 7 per cent, and in the previous year it was nearly 20 per oatit, Tbe certificates during the last few days have been selling around 470 each, and upon the announcement of the dividends yesterday the price immediately "slid off" to (58, a drop of 12 points from the last previous sale.
