PITIFTJL PLIGHT OF THE "FASE"' oaflAU The feeling of indignation aroused by the action of the handful of keif eonsti tuted "bose3,? ho held, a meeting, or caucus, in this tow n several weeks since and set np a ticket for the people to Vote for, has forced the leaders of tho move ment to abandon tbe clam-like silence ihey had endeavored to maiulain in re gard to their actions, and last week their organ, the "fake' journal published in this twu, after a vain effort to "fake" its readers by pretending that tho caucus V slate candidates was a meeting of Kepul licans to orgauizt a "M. Kiuley league, eirues out fronu -..vcr and admits Cue truthfulness of all the Ukrai.d has ssi in regard to this arrogant attempt at boss- ism, aud iu a weak way attempts to jus tify it. Iu its isua immediately fallowing the "compare n tes" meeting the "fake" or gan had this, and nothing more to say of it: "Sixty rive representative Republicans irom tne lo-ns and l.)wnstnps ol tins county met at Somerset on rnewlay even ing and orgauizid a McKiuley llspubli cau ljeague." Although the. several owners aud edit ors of the "fake"' orjan were present and were active participants in this remarka ble gathering, the above item is all they were willing to give to the public In iu issue of last week it abandons completely its attempt to "fake" its read ers with tbe "McKiuley Ieague" story. huding that it wouldn't work, and with apparent frankness says: The IIeiui.d has made the meeting of neiiublican held at Someiet on May Z i the basis of its misrepresentations, and a frank statement of facts concerning that meeting is tberetore proper at this lime, rbe result has been drawn battles between the factious, in which the ami Scull people have been the victors." iJi-mr battles in which the a:ili Scull people have bsen tbe vic'jrn is very g;J.

V. X. Moser, Joseph Horner ami Pe ter Bowman. Tnese candidates knew the Scull riug would make its slate as usual, and that if they all remained in tbe field they would be simply gratifying the ring. aud encouraging the vicious sys em to which thev are opposed. The anti-ma chine candidates named stigtted that a meeting of anti-machine Uepu'ilicaus from all parts of the county should le called lor consultation, sayiug mat at such a meeting the relative strength ueveloool by the seven candidates named could asoertaine-1, and that this would help tnem. the candidal"", to decide who should withdraw. This suggestion of the candidates is what brought forth the tollowir.r letter, which was stit to every distrii-t iu the county with a view of hav ing one or more representati.es from each disti ict at tbe meeting : Somerset, Pjt., April 20, !. Dkar Sjr: After a consultation with a number of our friends it has beeu thought it would be well for us to compare notes ou Tues day evening next at the olhce of J. A.

In response t ) tnis call from sixty-five to seventy five well known Republicans of the Oimuty. representitix forty of the fortv- three districts, githered in tlie Uoiden K-gle Hall on Tuesd ly evening. May i. Mr. J. A. Berkey was elected chairman of the ineetinir. Such expres sion as had lpn sug?-red by lb candi dates was cilleii for frn; Jim giillemeu present, and then a cmtnitt-e of three was SDriinie.i to con'-r with theanti ma chine c.sndida'es for Pr.thoij.-lsry n ime-i alsive. As a result of this conference tbe three candidates came into tbe meeting and Messrs. Barkey and Pullin withdrew from tbe field. Tbe anti machine candidates for Com missioner were not iu to-u tht evening. and a committee was appointed to confer with them at some future time. A lew days later representatives of tbe candi dates met the committee and at trial meet ing Mr. Homer and Mr. Bowman with drew f.-om the canvass, leaving the auti rnachine field to Messrs. Braucher and Moser as candidates for Commissioner." How is that for a Tieeting that was call ed to "compare notes," and whi"h the fake" organ announced had been for the purpose of organizing a "MeKinley League?" Aecordiug to their own state ment as given above the meeting was called by the few would be losses who signed the circular letter for the purpose of slating certain candidates. Xot one word about organizing a "McKiuley League." And who are the gentlemen who arro gate this extraordinary power to them selves of saying who shall and who shall not be candidates for county offices, and from whence comes their authority? Is there the name of a single candidate at tached to this call for acau.-us to make and unmake candidates? Why should S. U. Sbober, S. A. KenUall et ai. be empower ed to name candidates after consultation with "one or mnre representatives from each district"? Heretofore it has been the universal custom for every person who desired to be a candidate to so announce, aud sub mit his name to tbe voters of tbe county. Under this new and novel system this handful of "bosses" undertake t J say who hall not be candidates and to select a ticket of their own liking for the people to vole for. Aud why, if all insurgent candidates a e to be treated wi b jii tl fairness, were not Messrs. Ijuorge W. Kem.j, O H. sha ver, and K. J. Dickey, all of wh ;n have been talke I of as ctndidate for Prothou- otary, iu ited to be present and "compare notes"? Did it never strike these self canstitute-l bosses" that the people in general would like to ba "e a voice iu naming tbe candi date! for the various county oiflces? For fistaioe, the reprosentatiVHs from Jenner township who were i.it ited, and who were present to "cmpars notes," were El. Manrer, "ChrUty" Scbruucker, E I. M s- toller, an 1 John Risinger four represent ative citizens.perhaps hut are the aim-is'. four hundred Republican voters of Jen ner towo-hip to be di-tated to by tbes"! four.' An 1 is it not ow iug to tb.'ir action that Jenner township's candidate for County Commissioner was forced from the field? Jim" a isb and "Joe" Specht were the elect w ho were present to "compare notes" aud speaic fur the three hundred and more Republican voters of Q leui-v-honiug township. It is just possible that some of the remaining three hundred are not quite w ill ing to surrender their cboiss of candi lutes to Messrs. Bausli and Specht. "Joe" How man tiie "bosses"' considered fu'ly capable of voicing the sentitneuts of the Republican voter ofStoyestown bor ough. Conemaugh township m not taktn into the ul, and her more than three hundred voters were voiceless in naming c tndHalee w bom they areexpecled to vole for. William Weaver and Sjn ire Scott Mur phy were invited, and came tip from Paint township, but the balance of Paint tow n Lip Republican voters, from five to six hundred in DUniUr, may dec-line to ap prove the a-tion of Messrs. Weaver and Murphy. We have beeu told that both of these gentlemen had their sense of tight and fairness so outraged by the high banded manner in whi -h the caucus was run that they announced before leaving town that tbey would not support the ticket the "Is macs" had nominated. Tbe invitations li representatives of Shade and Oyle townships were either lost in the shuflla or the "tjosses did u.-l consider thoin of sufficient importance to entitle them to representation ; at least, tuey were not represented, so far as we know, and no "itotW were "com pared" from thesw to staunch liepublliwn tw o ships. John C. Gnagey, Ed. Coleman, S. LT. Sliolier, and UIxmi Knupp were fjur "repreentattve" trho were appod to know whetn the six bandred aud more P.-publican voters ( S.niers4 township wanted as their candidates, and they were assirJiiig'y h-vited, aii'T wore present with their "nolea." S. A. Kendall, "K.d" Leonard, and inr erstwhile friend, 'Hoaer'' Hocking came over from Meyersdale with tbelr "note'' all ready to ' coinpare", but just why the Metropolis of tlie county should te rep resented by these three youthful "bosses" in a matter of such grave importance and aged and experienced Iusurgent Chiefs like William '7. u fail and ex -She r iff Kyle should be slighted, only tbe "bossos" themselves know. ... "Fred" Piatt, "Scntty" Matthews, and Jeff" Sidle arrangtsl the ticket for the Republicans of Berlin, while Bli Cober and John I '.rant pcif.o in') J the same kind office for Brothersvalley Republicans. Domer Kreger was the sole representa tive of the Republican voters of Up per Ttirkeyfoi.il tow nsliip. but it is proba ble that the reuiMui.ig 1!"' will vote for the candidates of their own choice irre spective of lho,'nots" that D mer oom psrtsi. 'S uire McMillan came up from Addison, and as the "b,ieses" claim that tbe 'Squire "ruus" Addison they counted up its vole fr the slated candidates with out waiting for the primary to be he'd. Iaiwor Turkeyfoot was looked on as a "cinch," so was not iu the list of invited guests. Who could ."comparo uotes" froui Middlecreok except P. K. Mooro, or what would any oiie else's "notes" be worth, thought tbe "bosses." Linooln township wa-i pronouncel "nunca boue" by t,he "b isses," and if tbero was a rep resentative present from that precinct he was admitted by the back door; the "bosses" couut Lincoln too safe for any thing for any ticket they slate, but it is just possible that they may be fooled in this instance. And so it was the couuty over. Quite a number of the districts unrepresented and tbe balance represented by the lew w horn the gentlemen signing tbe circular letter considered influential citizens, aud whom they asked to meet with them to "compare notes," or, in other words, to assist them in forcing a numlter of active candidates from the fleld and to set up a ticket for their fellow Republicans to sup- lort. Pretly high-handed "bossism" this coming from gentlemen who Unvote most of their waking hours to crying out against "bosses" and "bossism," and this on their own show iug as stated in their own "rake" organ. The "fake" organ would have its rend ers IxMieve that the withdrawing of all but tbe slated candid ates was a volunta ry act ou tbelr part. We have it on reli able authority that one of the candidates knew nothing of the meeting of the "bosses" being called; that he was at homo in bed, when, after midnight, be was called upon by a committee compos ed of F. J. Kooscr, Geo. F. Kimmell and Ed. Leonard, and was told that it wouldn't do for him to remain in the field for Pro thonotary, that Emert must be the can didate, and that he must go np to tbe cau cus and withdraw, and that unless this was done Emert threatened to make pub lic certain matters thai would startle tbe insurgents throughout tbe county. The anti-machine candidates for Com missioner were not in town that evening. nd a committee was appointed to confer with them at some future time," says tbe fake" organ. Is there a citizen of Som erset who passed along Main Cross street the evening of the "compare notes'' meet ing who failed to notice Joseph Horner, W. X. Moser and U. D. Braugber seated on a dry gooda box anxiously waiting for the moving of tbe waters,for the "bosses" to decide their fate, to be informed how the "notes" had been "compared" and whether or not they were to continue to be candidates. One of them did not leave for home till aft' r luiduight, and if any f them saw their bodi before Wednes day morning we miss our guess ; yet t'e fake" organ would account for the ap pointing of a committee to decide who were to be tbe candidates for commis sioner ou the grounds that the "candi dates were not iu t wn that evening." Well, th committee met the following Monday at tbe office of J. A. Barkey, si., and S. U. Sbober, arrayed in his best bib and tucker, appeared early on the scene. If any one thought he was out for tbe purpose of preaching a ser mon he was fooled. Shober had selected the two candidates for Commissioner, Braugber and Moser, weeks before, and tbe meeting with his fellow "b-.isses," on the committee was only a sham. The four candidates were not allowed to meet with the "commiltoe," but were compell ed to wait on the street while the "boss- pretended to be consulting. The meeting was of brief duration an i when 'boss" Shober appeared on the street he announced to tbe waiting candidates, Horner, Bowman, Braugber and Moser, that it had been d cided that II rner and Bowman must withdraw and that Brau ghor and Moser were to remain can didates. And, strango as it may seem, Joseph Horner and Peter Bowman meek ly bowed to the decision of "boss" Sam uel Shober and from that day have not beii known as candidates. From the start "boss" Kiinmell had de clared thst Commissioners Clerk Emert should be the candidate for Prothonolary and "boss" Shober had as emphatically declared that the candidates to fill the place that e bad filled in tbe Commis sioners' office for six years it would take two should be Braugber and Moser, aud to these two "bosses" the lessor "bosses" had to give way. Great are "boss" Shober and "boss" Kiinmell. And as an excuse for and in defense of this arrogant dictation of the "bosses" the ' fake" organ tries to create the im pression that the "ring," that great bu;- alxsj that it has been hysterically shout- lig alxiut at intervals for years, bad se- octed a set of can lidates, and to "fake" j its readers with tbe falsehood that tbe 'comparing of uotes" was tloue at the so iuitatiou of the candidates. It is only necessary to glance at the names of the signers to tbe call for th3 meeting to see how far from the truth this assertion is. Birtbplaea Love. The affection and yearning of old peo ple to revisit the homes of their youthful days is as general as tbe existence of love aud tenderness in the human herrL This Imirable trait, s&ya the Bedford Gazet'e, was fully displayed in tbe case of George Schell, now aged eighty-three years, aud his sister, Mrs. Mary Kantner, aged eighty years, who visited Schellsburg, their native place, this week. Tbey ate hildren of Abraham Schell, Sr. George was born in ls'lti; be removed to Michi gan in isis, and subsequently 10 uw- reiice, Kan. Aftvr an Hbscnci of over sixty -one years, at tho age of eignty- tbree, an 1 totally blind, he nould not re sist the feeling of his heart for his old boiue. He has traveled over 1,000 miles, accompanied by his son, George, and his daughter, Anna Bell Schell. His t-ister, Mrs. Kantner, and her daughter, now of 8 .inersi't. Pa., came with him. They had ix.'t met for over sixty-one year. The sadness of tbe meeting was that he was entirely blind aud could not see her and she was unable to hear him talk. But this great deprivation did uot mar the ex ti erne gladness of their meeting, lie be longed to the "Gray Beard" regiment in the late war and in this service lost his sight. He found only two of bis compan ions of youth living in SchelUburg CspU A. E. Schell and Edward Garlinger, Esq. ail the others had either removed or were dead. Hon. William P. Schell, who had not seen hia cousin for sixty-one years, accompanied by bis daughter, went to Scheilabiirg to meet him and his bister and tbelr children. The meeting of these people after so many years of separation was tender, atfis-lionale and cordial. - Do you want to try Hallock's Auto matic Clog Weedsr and kep it if the work is dmie satisfactorily to yon?

KA5T OTHER THOf ERTIE3 DAMAGED. fersons who have beard of I be expe rlcnces of Mrs. Henry Kuhs, wife of the well known Livausville blaoks oith, li-t Wednesday afternoon' when their borne was practically demolished by lightniu can not help thinking that her escape from instant iloath borders on llu mirac ulous. Mrs. Kuhs was engaged putting down carpet in one of the upstairs bedrooms , bout two o'clock, and as she bont over her work she was unmoved by tbe brill iant flashes of lightning and loud pealsof thuDder without. Hail and rain beat against the window glass but she did not look tip frriin her work. Suddenly there came an awful crash and she fell to the floor unconscious. When she recovered a few minutes afterwards her little daughter, who bad been playing aliout tbe room, was standing over her scream ibg at tbe lop of her voice. The window- frames and sash were gone, the plaster ing from t ae ceiling and walls had fallen down, and the bedstead was in fragments. A falling piece of timber had cut a gash in her forehead froui which the blood streamed As soon as she realized that the house had been llrnck by lightning and that she was nc seriously injured, she made her way tc tbe lower floor of the building. where she found everything iu disorder. window glass broken, plastering ripped from wala and ceilings, tbe weather boarding torn from the entire west side of the building, and the household furul ture rent and broken. Every room in the buildi ig, with the exception of a sin gle bed roc .in, was ruined. It is conject ured that tbe electric bolt struck tbe house on the west side and separating reached the ground at the four corners, as the corner timbers are all shattered and spliutered. Mr. Ku is was at his workshop at the time, but be soon learned of the accident and hurri?d home, only to find it a mass of ruins, mid his wife suffering from tbe shock aud the cut on ber head. His little daughter was hysterical and fully three hours passed before she was comp'med. Mrs. Kubs has since been suffering from shock and weakness but she is able to be up and about. She declares that she will never forget the sensations she experienced that afternoon when she re covered consciousness. The Kubs property was comparatively new, having been erected three or four years ago. It was one of the most com fortable and taste! y arranged homes in Iavansvillrj. About five o'clock tbe same afternoon the dwelling of tbe late Harnett Pick iug, ou Union street, iu this place was struck by lightning, but outside of tearing a bunch of shingles from the roof, and ter rifying the inmates, the electric current did no damage. The barn at the County Home was struck by Iightuiug tbe same evening, but was not seriously damaged. It is re ported that three inmates of the Home who were in the barn feeding the stock, were prostrated by the shock. Mrs. Jacob Fryburg was washing an oil cloth in front of the rear hall door at ber home a mile and a half east of Sprucetown w hen the barn, a few rods distant, was struck by lightning Thurs day afternoon. Tbe shock was so great that sbe was thrown forward on tbe Moor and rendered unconscious for a short time. HeUoe to the Republican Voters. The report circulated that I have with drawn as a candidate for Prolhonotary is absolutely untrue. I wish to say I am still a candidate for that office aud will be until the Republican voters of the county have decided by their ballots who shall be Prolhonotary. Gkoroe W. Kemp. Chair Faetory at Holiopple. There seems to le every assurance, says the Johnstown Democrat, that tbe erec tiou of a chair factory at Holsoppie, ou the S. and branch of the B.

Engineers have already been over tbe proposed site, making a survey,' while the information dunes from Holsopp'.e that Fred Border, the wealthy farmer of that place, who is fin ancially iiuerestad in the venture, states that work will begiu some time In Au gust. The proposed manufactory will beerect ed on Mr. Border's property on the bot tom between the S. and C. branch aud the Slonycreek. Mr. Border has set aside that much of his farm for this purpose. Tbe tract is a large one and will afford ample facilities for the operation of tbe proposed plant. Mr. Border has also pro vided for coal lauds to furnish tbe fuel that will be needed. Several Johnstown people are mentioned iu Connection with the industry. Schroyer Bask ia Jail. Harry Russel Schroyer, who broke jail twice, tbe last time ou December 3,188, i 4 again behind the bars. He was arrest ed Friday afternoon by Detective Frank Campbell, of Fayette county. Campbell, had been on the lookout for him for several months, and when hesaw him ou oue of Connellsville's principal streets Friday afternoon he took him into cus tody..

Schroyer told an interesting story of hia travels &ince his escape to Sheriff H trtzell and admitted that be had plan ned the murderous aasault which young Zjrfoss and Eddy made on Deputy Sheriff Baker the evening they broke jail. He said that he tried In every way to induce Baker to opeu the door of his cell, and when he found that he could not get him to do so, be persuaded Zerfos and EJ'iy, who were mere boys, to assault him, secure his keys and unlock the door of the cell ia which he was confined. Schroyer says that aftsr hs escaped from jail he went to l iedinont. West Va., where he remained for a few days until be learned that Sheriff Hartzail was in that neighborhood. He then went to WueIli:g and hid only been there for a day or two when ho saw the Sheriff iu that city.

Meyers has sucoeded in socuring two former post ponements of the trial audit is thought that his counsel will make no further efforts to secure another postponement, As soon as the graud Jury had been called iuto the box Peter S. Hay, of Salisbury, was appointed foreman, where upon the grand Jury withdrew to tbe risitn reserved for their use and immedi alely entered upon the work of examin ing witnesses in the thirty four or thirty- five casos on tbe calendar. After the Constables h id made their returns, the bar list was called, and mo tious and petitions were heard aud filed, Tbe first jury trial was oue iu which Fanny Eash, of Couemaugh township, was the prosecutrix, aud Simon Blougb, a former resident of that township, but now of Johnstown, was the defendant The prosecutrix, who is uumarried. ac knowledged on the witness stand that she was the mother of six or seven cliil dren, and claimed that the defendant was the father of her last-boru. She tes tified that she had only seen the defend ant ouc3 before last term of court. The defendant weut upon the stand and posi tively denied the prosecutrix's state ments, and a u umber of w itnesses called in his behalf testified that he was in Johnstown on the day tbe crime Is alleg en to nave been committed. The case was given to the jury Monday evening and at the opening of court Tuesday morning the jury returned a verdict of not guilty and tbe prosecutrix to pay the costa." A jouuger brother of the d fendatit created a sceue by ruuniug into court and clapping hands when tbe clerk read the verdict lie was repremanded by Judge Longenecker, who intimated that he should have been committed to jail for violating the dignity of tbe court The uext case was that of the Common wealth vs. Charles Braisecker, charged with stealing several chickens from neighbor named Baker, who appeared as me prosecutor. I ue jury returned a verdict of "mt guiliy by reason of iu- sanity." William Hochstetler. of Allegheny township, was uext placed on trial to answer a charge of statutory rape, Rose Gindlesperger, of the same township. biing the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix wuo is now only sixteen years of age, bad ber offspring in her arms. Verdict guilty. Tbe next case to occupy the attention of Jhe court was one in which James H. Williams, a young man who hails from Dauphin county, was the defeudaut The charge selected on which to try him was adultery, since it is not likely that the other charges against hiiu will be pressed in case be is convicted of th t grave offense. Williams was employed on the 15. A O. as a brakemau and made bis headquarters at Rock wood, where he utnxiuced a woman named Lowry as his wife aud lived with ber in that rela tion. Tbe Lowry woman prior to the birth of her last child was committed to the county home aud later was sent to the Dauphin couuty almshouse. The defendant made no defense. Verdict guilty. Grain 0 Bringt Belief to the coffee drinker. Coff!e drinking is a habit that is universally indulged in aud almost as universally injurious. Have you tried Grain-O? Itis almost likecot)'t-e but the effects are just the opposite. Coffee upsets the stomach, ruins the digestion, affects the heart aud disturbs the whole nervous system. Grain O tones up the stomach, aids digestion and strengthens the nerves. There is nothing but nour ishment in Grain O. It can't bo other wise. 13 and 2oc per package. Memorial Day Program.
