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

was "fat and saucy." He also stated that
"Soldier Joe" was doing duty as Quar

his job. Cromwell's and Levy's Com

that Corporal Cromwell is the liravet

Tidball, "he kept firing away until hia

Charles F. Raymau, one of the beat
known citizens of Erothersvalley town

horrible death Saturday afternoon, while
working at John Seibert's steam saw

over tbe saw, where they were caught by
the sharp teeth aud be was drawn to hia

Tbe investigation of "embalmed beef"
is not to be confined to the War Depart
ment alone. 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.!

"God's tinier touched him and he slept."
Oliver Knepper died on Saturday
morning, January 23, 1&19.
For many years he had been a teacher
and assistant superintendent of Trinity
Evangelical Lutheran Sunday school, f
Somerset, Pa., and a consistent and de
vout member, faithful and etHcient officer
of tbe Church. His wise counsels and
unselfish work will be felt among as in
the years to come, for the impress of hia
noble christian life is our heritage.
The summons came suddenly, but
must have found him prepared. Always
ready and willing to assume any burdeu
which the school imposed upon him, be
passed away in the midst of a life of use
fulness. "How beautiful It I for a mau to die
Vpon tbe wall of 7.1 on ; to be railed
Like a watch-worn and weury sentinel,
To put hi armor off, and rest iu heaven."
While grieving with those who grieve,
and extending our sympathy to tbe loved
ones who were so dear to tbe heart of our
departed brother, we rejoice in tbe prom
ises of G d's word, and gratelully ao
ki owledge the blessings we enjoy from
the long association with so worthy an
exemplar of the doctrines of tbe blessed
Nazaretrs. Cojuhttek.

The Home Monthly for January, ISO!),
contains mita anil most liitprftHtinir arti-
I rle omceruing Col. and Mrs. Samuel
; E'.dftrof liginier. P. AC 1. Eider and
j hia family are well and favorably remem
j hered by our older citizens, a brief extract
v ill be read without interest.
. The pioneer of tbe Elder family was
Robert Elder, who cauie from Scotland
iu 173) and settled iu I'm inn, about five
mites from iiarnslnirf , his s'-n J..hn
having been left in the old country until
he graduated from Edinburgh University.
Alter bis graduation he was called to a
charge near Harrisburg in 17-13, where by
j his pugnacious disposition be soon sc-
q nired theoameof the "lighting parson."
lie took an active part in tbe French and
Iudiau War and tbe Whisky Insurrection.
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. In a few years he bought an
interest in tbe stage line running from
Pittsburgh to Chambersburg. He served
a term aa Register and Recorder of Som
erset county. 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. Patrick resides in Allegheny
City, Mrs. Mary Elder Hastings in Phil
adelphia, while Mrs. Annie E. Miller,
widow of Dr. John Miller, Miss Josephine
Elder and Samuel G. live with their par
ents on the Bell farm near Llgonier, Pa.
Mrs. Margaret E. Hudsou resides in
Marys ville. Cat. and George W. Elder is
a merchant in Redding, Cal. John Bell
Elder is a merchant in Pittsburg, and tbe
youngest child, Mrs. Alice Elder Holiday,
resides in Greenspriog valley, near Balti
more. Col. and Mrs. Elder celebrated tbe fif
tieth anniversary of their wedding at tbe
residence of their son-in-law, Mr. William
W. Patrick on Ridge avenue, Allegheny,
on Dec 10, 1S83, at which time and place
a grand reception was being given on the
occasion of tbe wedding of Col. Elder's
seventh daughter. Miss Fannie Elder to
Mr. Baker Johnson of Frederick, Md.,
which event took place in tbe First Pres
byterian church. Wood street, Pittsburg.
On this occasion all the children, sons-in-
law and grandchildren, except the Cali
fornia members of the family, were
present.
Col. Elder had a wide acqoai ..tame
among public men, and bad more or leas
of au acquaintance with every president
for whom he voted, these being thirteen
in oumler. The elder Harrison, being a
distant family connection, frequently
stopped t te Elder borne when passing
through on tbe stage, Ouce when on a
visit t j Washington, President Buchanan
himself conducted Col. Elder over the
White House.
He accompanied a party on a pilgrimage
to Canton duriug tbe last presidential
campaign. 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. The Col':,
friends heartily wish that he may be
spared in health and strength to reach at
least his century mark.

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. John D. Rockefeller is
commonly supposed to own about 49 per
cent, of the stock of the v a Hons subsid
iary companies controlled by the Stand
