MEYERS MURDER CASE
Ths Slayer ef Mioiti Carasy and John
Leabart rei a Jury.
CaiXIXAL LIS"! DISPOSED OF.
Teter Meyers wa brought lobi court
at 2 o'clock yester,la:r afternoon, when he
was gaill arraigned for the murder of
Michael Carney, no record having been
made of the former pleading, as the case
was continued before a jury bad been
sworn. Defendant's attorneys moved for
another continuance en the ground that
: Charles Meyers, a brother of the accused
J and a material witness for the defense, is
. and w ill be nnable t appear at this fees-
. sion of court. Tbe attending phjsiolau
j was called a::d testif-ed that Meyers is a
very sick man, but decimal to say that
he would imperil his health by coming to
Somerset later in the week. Judce
1 Lougeueckfcr decided to go ahead with
I the case, boiifying counsel for the de-
' ' ...... i. - i . l. .a , tt:..
of the sick witness and read it to the jury
in case be is unable !n appear.
Tbe defundant exhibited uo traces of
nervousness w hen he was conducted to a
seat at his counsels' table. He looked
I straight iuu ths faoe of every Juror ex
amined without changing countenance,
and offered no suggestions to attorney A.
C. Uoibert, who conducted the examina
tion of the jurors. Meyers is looking re
markably well, considering his long con
finement, and there is no judication that
he will break down. The plea of iusaui
ty will be offered in hi defense.
The work of selecting a jury was com
pleted at 5 o'clock, w hen court adjourned
until 9 o'clock this morning. It is likely
that the motion for a continuance will be
renewed by attorneys for tbe defendant
before the jury is sworn.
The court room was crowded at yester
day's session and much interest is mani
fested in the progress of the triaL
The regular February terra of criminal
court convened at 10 o'clock Monday
morniug with a full bench. This be
ing the term when the tax xil lectors file
their annual bonds, constables make their
quarterly returns, and newly - elected
constables file their bonds, there was au
unusual hum of industry iu the court
room. Forty -three tax collectors, aud a
similar number of constables filed their
bonds.
Twenty three grand jurors were pres
ent. N. D. Shaffer, of Benson, was ap
pointed foreman of the panel.
With tbe exception of the Meyers hom
icide case, all of tbe other oases set for
trial were of little importance, sixteen of
the thirty-oue bejrrg for F. A B.
In the case of the Commonwealth vs.
George Boden, charged witb burglary,
tbe jury roturned a verdict of uot guihy.
William K. Coulter, chargod with lar
ceny, was found g oilty, and tentenced to
pay the cost of proaocutiou aud to under
go six months' imprisonment in tho
county jail. Coulter got on a batter-at
Windber and stole two or three suits of
clothes, w hich he had on at tbe time of
bis arrest.
G. II. Duncombe, charged with failing
to provide and maintain ventilation in
the Elk Lick region, on itif ".iation of
Mice Iuspector Connor, entered a p's of
guilty, and was sentenced to pay theoobls.
William Hau, a Meyersdale youth,
was convicted of carrying concealed weap
ons, and wts sanienoj.I to psy the costs
and undergo three months imprisonment
in the county jaiL
The liquor license appliivitions will be
takeu up by the court some lime to-day,
but owing to the large number it is not
likely that all will be deposed of atone
time.

Latter from Jacob I. Xa&fmin to Chairman

The Philadelphia Iu.j lirer of Sytur-
diy, the one Philadelphia daily that has
steadfastly refused to sell its editorial col-
untus to the bargain counter statesman.
and, consequently does not contain a
Wauamaker advertisement although it
has the largest circulation of any news
paper in Philadelphia, published the fol
lowing letter from one of Somerset coun
ty's must successful, respected and widely-known
farmers, Mr. Jacob I. Kauf
man. Senator Q lay's friends all over the
State, and they are legion, are rising in
their might to protest against the cam
paign waged by the bolters and character
assassins. Their letters continue to pour
iu on Republican Slate Chairman Elkin
and tbe things they are writing to their
representatives in the Legislature must
show them tbe drift of public sentitnant:
Jacob L Kaufman, of Davidsville, bas
some very practical views. He writes:
am a full-fledg-! ttepubiican or tbe
old type. I believe in majority rule. I
believe in party organization, if tne ma
jority is to rule we must have a leader.
In everything mere must be some one at
tbe bead. For instance, were I to send
my boys out on the farm and tell each
one to use his own judgment everything
would go wrong. I must tell oue oi them
to be boss an 1 the others to obey bis
oimmands. To show bow it is I will cite
the fact that the anti Q uy men cannot
agree on any one man. but have to scat
ter their voles among a dozen. It is true
we sent two anti-Ouay men from this
e unty. but bad the business clement
turned out and voted at tne primaries 1
think the result would have been differ
ent. Koontx has been trying to kick the
party to pieces for the last ritieen years.
jje will vote for a Democrat in preference
Io a regular t(pulican. v e ao not
want tbe Slate to fall into the' bands of
the Democrat", as we have bad enough
of thai of late."
Conscience in tho Jury Boum.
It seems that jurors, in dispensing jus-
tioe, are not to dispense witb conscience.
On a recent trial in Pittsburg, after the
jury had been out nearly two days with
out agreeing, the court refused to dis
charge tbem, but insisted on an agree
ment, faying to them: "It Is sometimes
said by jurors that they cannot conscien
tiously agree to a verdict. There is no
oonsoieace in th,e case ; It is not a ques
tion of conscience at all'; it is simply a
question of judgment. Men will differ
in their opinions as to the testimony, or
as to question of fact, or as to the pro
priety of a verdict. Io is simply a dif
fer jiicj in judgment, aud no quwiion of
conscience whatever in the case." The
Supreme Court, however, did not concur
in this view, but, reversing the judgment,
said: "Erery ma of ordinary intelli
gence understand that conscience Is
that moral sense which dictates to him
right or wrong. Every statute enacted
by a legislature, every decision pro-
d unced by a court, every verdict of a
jury, is professedly based ou a moral
sense, prescribing w hat is right and pro
hi oiling w hat is wrong. Tne statement
of the learned judge assumed that among
tne jurors there was no. difference of
opinion which had its source in tbe oper
ations of conscience; thu it was simply
a difference of j J igmenL B it Judgmeut
is ouiy the reuit or conclusion of con
science, after the latter has performed its
o li.) in the different steps leading up to
the conclusion ; and this conclusion is the
very truth to hm who ha arrived at it
by conscientious perceptions and reason
ing. Conscience impels the juror to dis
regard personal sympathy with or per
sonal hostility to either party ; it compels
him to discard social, racial, religious
and political prjadices. Every step in
bis deliberations on tbe testimony should
be prompted by this moral sense; nor
should oouclusiou, judgment or verdict
follow until after the exercisj of con
science on the questions which precede
it. Once eliminate conscience, what of
value is left to the verdict? If there ba
one institution where con cienne should
be supreme it is a court, 'a place where
justice is judicially administered,' and
there cou 11 bo go more opprobtous epi
thet than 'conscienceless ooart.' "

A Good Xaa for ths place.
The many Somerset county friends of
ProC W. H. Martin, will be gratified to
learn that be has entered the race for tbe
County Superintendence of Fayette
county, with flattering prospects of suc
cess. Dnring tbe three years be resided
in this county he made a splendid record
as a teacher and organizer in the public
schools, and as an evidence that bis ser
vices were appreciated It is only necessa
ry to state that in the town where he last
taught the citizens contributed consid
erable sum from their private means in
order to properly compensate him. While
here be had no superior in the profession
and bis friends all regretted his removal.
He was a worker and worked tirelessly
for the advancement and elevation of tbe
common school system. He was urgent
ly solicited to remain iu Somen et county
and aspire for the position he is now
seeking in Fayette, but ho felt that the
interests ' borne and county demanded
his return to bis native county. We feel
like congratulating the School Directois
of Fayette county on having such a
worthy caudidate in tbe field for the Su-
perintende.icy. They will make uo mis
take by electing Prof. Martin.

The communication signed "South Da

cloth. Initead of stating facts, it staled
just the reverse. The people of this cou n
ty Dickey county, N. D. are too modest
to express their indignation, believing
that no oue but Geueral Eagan could do
the subject justice. The writer says be

PltUburg Corner a Egg.
Says tbe Pittsburg Leader: Tbe egg
market, which has been In precarious
condition for some time, was rendered
more so yesterday when the truth dawn
ed upon the commission merchants that
a corner had beeu established on tbe al
ready scant supply. II. D. Miller of
Philo, Muskingum county, O., within the
last few days bought up the available
supply at 21 and 22 cents per dozen, with
the result that he now commands the
situation. Mr. Miller went from merchant
to merchant and mails heavy purchases.
Now eggs are selling in the neighborhood
of 35 cent per dozen. Mr. MU.er looks
for them to advance to 40 cents and on tbe
hole transaction he expects to clear
$5,000.
This morning tbe Pittsburg commis
sion men were uot inclined to admit that
they had sold alt stock on hand at 20 and
21 cents, but the fact remains that all were
buying at higher price.
As heretofore reported iu the Leader,
the blizzard rlayed havoc with the busi
ness. Mr. Miller realizing that the hen's
fruit would be very scarce for the reasou
that poultry had suffered severely, pro
weeded to buy eggs. Chicago and other
large cities are shy on eggs, but np tdate
there has bten no corner. It remained
for au Ohio man to come here and estab
lish oue. Meanwhile the consumer will
foot the bill. Prices will remain high
until the bens recover from the effects of
tbe record-breaking blizzard.
