A special Ligonier dispatch to the Sun
day papers says : Tbe Uutters, the famous
mountaineers of this section, whose deeds
of crime and violence have been cbrooi
e'ed for many years past, have added an
other crime to tbe list. Frank L. Sbupe,
c nslable of I.igonier, arre-ted Elliott

Imrr Satuidsy for larceny, cutting with
Intent to kill, eU. Tbe arrest took place
at Boneber. near town, and although
Constable Sbupe is a powerful man, and
knew Rutter was a daDgerous charai-ter,
he made tbe arrest alone. Rutter is large.
an sihlete. and 30 years old. He turned
on tbe officer and, draw ing a large dirk
knife, cut bins terribly about tbe body
and arms, and after a hard struggle made
his esipe into tbe mountains. Constable
Son & Co., located one-quarter of a utile
east of town, were totally destroyed.
About 20 minutes after 7 o'clock, while
tbe usual amount of wool was being run
through the picking machine, a piece of
metal, supposedly a nail, was passed in
with tbe wool, and becoming entangled
in the machinery, ignited tbe fleecy sub
stance, revolting almost in spontaneous
combustion. With inconceivable rapidi
ty the flames spread, and in spite of all
the employes could do tbe entire seooud
floor was soon amass of seething flames.
Tbe blow ing of tbe mill whistle gave tbe
alarm to Terra Allans, and they hurried
to tbe scene, only to find smoke and
flames issuing from almost every window
of tbe large building. Tbe office at tbe
east end was tbe only part of tbe mill
from which anything could be saved.
The books of tbe firm, tbe Urge safe, a
uantity of woolen goods and tbe office
furniture were moved therefrom, but
everything else in tbe building, includ
ing tOl or 17.000 worth of goods ready
for shipment iu the packing department,
was lost. The building was made of
brick , with siate roof, and this, with tbe
heavy machinery, quickly fell, ibe entire
property tiing destroyed in less than an
hour. Tbe large and handsome store
building, also the rroperty of the compa
ny, located about forty feet from the main
building, was saved by bard work.
Tbe firm of J. W. Rigg, Son A Co., is
composed of Col. John W. Rigg, Thomas
Rigg and T. J. Picking, all leading
business men of this section, and their
mills were the largest and most finely
equipped in the State of West Virginia.
For years past tbe woolen mills have
grown and been improved until they
ere perfect in every detail. Some of
tbe machinery io tbe mills was the high"
est priced and most complicated and per
fect in use in the largest woolen mills of
tbe world, and was placed in these mills
an enormous cost. Tbe Terra Alta
woolen mills were estima'ed to have been
orth nearly if not quite one hundred
thousand dollars.
Tbe firm has made no statement aa to
helber the mills will be rebuilt or not.
and will say nothing definite until tbe in
surance and other matters are adjusted.

Bids for 8 wen Will Bs Optned To-day.
Mr. James S. Haring, the Borough
ngineer, has completed his plans and
specifications for Somerset's proposed
sewer system and bids will be open at a
pecial meeting of town council at 2
clock this afternoon for the construction
of certain portions of tbe contemplated
work. The work for which bids have
been asked embraces those portions of
the town south of and including Union
street, and from the B. A O. railroad,
including Pleasant street, west to and
including West street. Probably three
fourths of the streets on which properties
have been erected are insluded in the area
for which bids will be opened to-day, and
the contractors will be required to sub
mit bids for the construction of sewers
north of Union street and including North
and Catherine slroels to Pleasant street.
d west from West street including
Union, Main and Patriot streets to the
little stream crossing those thoroughfares.
Engineer Haring's plans call for tbe
construction of what is commonly known
asthe "separate system" which provides
for carry iug off household sewage exclu
sively and which most of tbe best au
thorities among sanitary engineers un
qualifiedly indorse as beint; tbe best,
safest, and most suitable for t wns and
cities of limited population. This system
has been thoroughly tested in many
places aud found efficient.
Quite a number of competent engineers
were here after tnls work otners not
seeking employment have also visited
Somerset during tbe past two years and
all of tbem expressed themselves as be
ing in favor of the "separate system" for
towns such as Somerset. In this connec
tion it might be well to add that the city
of Philadelphia is at present wrestling
with problems connected with municipal
engineering, and has secured the services
of three of the most emiuent hydraulic
and sanitary engineers in tbe country, to
whom it has turned them over for solu
tion. One of tbese tbree gentlemen nas
visited Somerset and after looking over
the ground carefully said that the "sep
arate system" was decidedly the best for
the town. Tbe plans, drawings, profiles
and specifications prepared by Engineer
Haring have been approved by Mr. Ru
dolph Hering, a second of the expert en'
gineers emp'oyed by the city of Phila
delphia.
The sewer system devised by Engineer
Haring provides foroonduoting all sewage
to one point, where it can be treated by
chemicals or otherwise mt !t inoffensive
and disuosed of at minimun cost in tbe
future. Tbe wisdom of this precaution
la obvious, since the legislature has al
ready taken action looking to the protec
tion of tbe streams and rivers of tbe Slate
from pollution aud it is only a question of
a very short time until stringent laws
with this end in view will be placed on
tbe statute books. The National Congress
has also been importuued to pass a Fed
era! law protecting tbe streams and rivers
from pollution.
Iu view of tbe above facts the people of
Somerset may rest assure that tbe system
and plans are the best that can be devised
aud those wlto in tbe past have stood for
public improvements should not be in
fluenoed by persons who seem to be on
ble to understand tbe requirements of tbe
town and who are at prea.-mt attempting
to defeat the expressed will of a large
majority of tbe citizens who voted an ap
proprlttion of public money for tbe pur
pose of placing tbe town In a good sani
tary condition.
The Borough Engineer has submitted
to council estimates for the construction
of the extensions named above ana for
tbe construction of a system of drain
pipes for carrying off cellar drainage.
which is easily within the reach of tbe
people, and tbe members of Council are
confident that an additional appropria
tion of, say, not exceeding 7.000, will be
authorized by the voters when they have
an opportunity to express themselves oo
tbe q nestion.
Tbe work advertised to be let to day.
and the extensions named above, will
provide for carrying away tbe household
sewage and cellar drainage for every res
idence and business-house with poaat
Klv fifteen or sixteen exceptions iu the
corporate liaiits, Iu addition to all tbe ioi

Seat of Artist Eetiel.
Artist George He!l, who two yfr
ago purchased the Noah RolerU farm,
tbree miles smth of Ibis place. died Mon
day, July 3d, at the botne of bis brother.
City Treasurer John C Hetzel. in Alle
gheny. During bits residence iu this
county be became known to only a limit
ed number of our people, w ho sought tbe
pleasure f bis society at bis picturesque
and comforlitble country scat. Tbe fol
lowing from tbe Pittsburg Dispatch gives
a brief account or Artist lletzcl'a notable
career:
Tbe death of George Hetzel closed one
of tbe most Interesting careers of this
section. In many respects aside from be
ing an artist of tbe highest rank Mr.
Hetzel was a remarkable man.
Artist Hetzel became a wielder of the
brush simply through bis love for tbe
art. Early In life be was apprenticed to
a bouse and sign painter and then began
life-long devotion to tho brush. He
was ambitious, and that ambition extend
ed far beyond tbe scope afforded by bouse
and sign painting. When be became of
age he went to Dusseldorf, Germany, but
the Franco-Prussian War cut bis study
there short and, with other American stu
dents, be returned home. While abroad
he confined his studies to portrait paini
ng and be finally decided that he would
add landscape painting to bis art. In
this be met with such success that be al
most totally gave up the former branch.
Of tbe many hundreds of paintings by
Mr. Hetzel nearly 200 were still in bis
possession at the time of his death.
There is hardly an art centre in this coun
try where Mr. Hetzel la not represented
by one or more of bis works. He is par
ticularly well represented in tbe east,and
nearly every collection, private or other
wise, in this section contains some of bis
pictures. He was the only Pittsburg ar
tist who bad a canvas accepted at tbe
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia
in 187a
Although au excellent landscape artist
generally Mr. Hetzel had his favorite
style of work. He seemed to take special
pride in painting interior landscape
scenes and creeks. A piece of thick
woodland with a little stream winding its
rsy out of it always appealed to bitn
bove almost any other scene.
His landscape work was almost excln-
ively dooe from original sketches. His
favorite localities for sketching were at
points up the Allegheny river. Scalp
Level and among tbe mountains of this
State and in the great Cheat mountain
istrict. However, he had sketched in
almost every interesting section east of
the Mississippi river.

a point alssit eight miles beyond Spring
field, where they proceeded to raid what
was auspected as a m.xmt-hir.e district.
Tne scene of the r id accoiding to Fay
ette county pipers is not far from Scull -ton,
aud the officers bad received intelli
gence that a still or two were in operation
there.
Just beyond tbe Showman settlement,
near tLe Saoteinyer farm, were found
two stills, one large enough to bold SO
gallons, and tbe other w ilh a capacity of
about 40 gallons. Thesj stills bad been;
in operation, as shown by tbe fires and .
the remains of the last still, but they bad
not been in use for some time previous to
tbe coming of the otfi.ssrs. Tbe place
was deserted. Wben tbe posse arrived it
was about 1 o'clock, and the party waited
silently till 3 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. Finally, coming through the brush,
could be seen tbe form of a man, and the
party bad high hopes that he might be
taken. But tbey were doomed to disap
pointment, for the quick eye of the moun
taineer spied the party and without
further ado wheeled about and began a
retreat Into the brush.
Tbe officers opened fire, and believe
that the fugitive was struck once, but be
escaped and has not been caught. The
stills were destroyed, all except the
worms, a section of each of these being
kept and brought down for evidence.
Who the man was who escaped is not
known. Ten gallons of moonshine
whiskey were brought down.
Cost Thirty-five Million.
The Receivership of the Baltimore A

as tbey found it, the Receiver went ahead
and put the road in first-class shape,
spending 135.000,000 in rebuilding and
reequlpping.
During their administration the Re
ceivers purchased 15.350 box cars, 6,750
wooden gondola cars, 6,000 pressed-steel
cars, 310 miscellaneous freight cars,
postal, express, and dining car equip
ment, at a total cost of 117.000,000. The
216 locomotives cost nearly two aud one
half millions. Tbe steel rails purchased
amounted to 123,010 tons, costing $2,145,
252, and there were brought over three
million cross ties, costing 1,200,000, and
750,000 cubic yards of ballast, amounting
to 52o,000. The new steel bridges ag
gregate in value $750,000, and fully as
much more was spent in improving the
several terminals, erecting new buildings,
reducing grades, and changing tbe align
ment. Tbe Maintenance-of-Way pay
rolls, or tbe amount paid directly to tbe
men employed in making improvements
on tbe tracks, etc, in three years was
nearly twelve millions of dollars. Most
of the purchases of equipment and rails
were made wben material was low in
price aud manufacturing concerns were
in great need of orders to keep tbeir
plants in operation. The equipment
alone, if purchased to-day, would cost
$5,000,000 more and the other improve
ments $1,000,000 more.
President Cowen is authority for tbe
statement that the new Company intends
spending $10,000,000 more in improve
ments in the next year or two.
Jodg- Miller's Eoad Tax Decision.
Under tbe ruliug of Judge Miller, of
Mercer county, there will hereafter be do
excuse for tbe authorities of townships
professedly favoring good roads not to
provide for such roads because tbe first
levy therefor bas been exhausted.
If the accounts, as tbey reached this
office, are correct, tbe question did not
arise incidentally. Desiring direct infor
mation upon the subject, the court was
asked specifically: "Can a township
levy a second tax for road puiposes?"
aud tbe answer was that it had that pow
er, and logically, of course, the power to
enforce payment of the levy.
The Hollidaysbnrg Register in making
note or the decision, ventures tbe opin
ion that tbe ruling will be "new law" to
many coustablea and assessors. In all
probability it will. And yet it may be
hoped that tbe decision will stand. Hit
does it will leave township administra
tions pretending to favor good roads, but
yet not providing for tbem, without a leg
to stand on.
And that, we Uke it, is what tbe honest
advocates of good roads iu this state are
anxious to see.
As tbe township supervisors mend and
make the roads and find out what tbeir
expenses for the year are, then levy and
collect UX enough to collect tbem. Judge
Miller's decision seems to have little
practical value, and The Inquirer's In
ference little point.
Philip Nitch,aonof Mr. and Mrs. Peter
N itch, who live near Sulphur Spring in
Conemaugh township, accidentally shot
himself Saturday evening and died within
tmn hours or tbe shooting. He was about
m rears or age.
Philip aUrted out shortly after i o'clock
to eet tbe daily mail, wbicn was aiway
i.r .i a noiut a abort distance from bis
borne. Thinking he might see sonie'hing
to shoot ou tbe trip be took .bis shotgun
with him. Shortly after be bad lea the
bouse bis parents beard a shot and, fear
ing that all was not right, tbey hurried
after him. The young man was found
lying near a fence, bleeding from a ghastly
wound in his side. He was atill con
scious, however, and wben carried to bis
home he related the faoU concerning tbe
shooting. He said that be had crawled
through tbe feuce and was pulling the
gun after him wben the hammer struck a
rail, discharging the weapon, and tbe
entire load of shot struck him In tbe side.
He remained conscious until a abort time)
before tbe end came.
Hsw Towaship Government.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The new act classifying townships and
regulating the government of the same
will give to the densely-populated town
ships of tbe Stote a local government ap
proaching in effectiveness that of tbe bor-
o igb. Tbe new law, which Ukes effect
tbe coming year, divides townships into
two classea. Those of the first class are
townships having a population of not less
than tbree hundred to tbe sqnsre mile.
Tbe second class includes all townships
not embraced in the first class. No change
is introduced in tbe organization of the
townships of the second class, and there
fore the great majority of the su bdivisions
of tbe counties will not be affected by the
statute. Tbe large conr.n unities, which
are practically small boroughs without
tbe conveniences of boroughs, will be
sreallv benefited by tbe new order or
things.
The sparsely -settled mountain town-
ship from tbe early day bas been gov
erned by tbe same official methods as
the most populous township and dense
ly-sealed region abutting a city. This
ancient system or township government
lacks flexibility and adapUtion to vary
ing conditions. For a thinly-settled dis
trict tbe present arrangements are toler
able, but they are utterly unfit for the
townships that are to all Intents and pur
poses continuous villages or small towns,
Tbe new law creates a system of govern
ment which gives adequate authority to
maintain highwaya, to construct aide-
walks and light them, to locate a aewer
and drainage system, to support a police
force by night and by day, to pumbaee
fire apparatus and to administer tbe pub
lic finances of tbe community under
proper regulation. This improved town
ship government will oust more than tbe
present slipshod methods, but the value
of property will be enhanced as tbe trim
munities become more attractive plaues
of residence. It is surprising that tbe
present system or local rural govern
ment bas lasted so long without radical
change.
It does not add to to our feeling of state
pride wben we find, by a study of ou
ante republican history, that Pennsylva
nia was one of tbe colonies whose dele
gates were instructed to oppose the dec
laration of national independence. On
tbe second consideration of tbe measure,
July 1, Pennsylvania stood tbree for to
four against.
Tbe sUteroent of the pnblic debt at th
close of tbe fiscal year shows that the
debt less cash In tbe treasury, amounted
to Jl.i55J2J0.255, which is a decrease aa
compared with June 20, 1898, of $1.1,571,
172. Tbe government expenditure dur
ing tbe fiscal year exceeded tbe reoelpU
by $-S8,875,uju. The receipts for tbe year
exceeded those of tbe previous fiscal year
by $11,705,604.

AgnUaldo and His Cabinet.
Elated at his successes in gathering an
nsurgent army, Aguinaldo bad pro
claimed himself president of the Filipino
Republic, and established executive aud
legislative departments, bis evident in
ler.tion being to secure complete and
ndependent control of tbe islands.
Through tbe efforts of one of my staff
officers I was able to gain some knowl
edge of tbe personal attributes of Again
aldo and bis so-called cabinet. Aguinaldo
was described to me as thoroughly honest
nd sincere; not well educated, but a nat
ural leader or men, and possessing con
siderable shrewdness and ability. He
was very popular among tbe common
people, wbo bad implicit confidence in
bim ; but tbe opinion among the better
clashes was that he bad not sufficient edu
cation or experience to make a suiuble
president He was atone time governor
of a small town in one of the provinces,
and It is said that he was formerly
school-teacher.
The position of secreUry of state was
at this time being held open for a prom
inent native citizen, Arellano, reputed to
he the foremost Uwyer of the islands.
He was not at Manila at this time; al
though be was repeatedly sent for, be
could not get through the Spanish lines.
He was reported to be an avowed annex
ationist, wno had little faith in tbe ability
of tbe Filipino people to govern tbem
selves.
Next to Aguinaldo in point or popular
ity was one Marioua Trias, secretary or
the treasury. He bad been vice pre I
dent or a former revolution. A former
schoolmaster, a cousin of Aguinaldo, and
a man of little or no ability, was secre
Ury or war; and tbe secretaries or tbe
navy and or tbe interior were reported to
me as honest, capable men. Aguinaldo
bad gathered aliout bim as personal ad
visers and councillors quite a number oi
efficient men, principally lawyers, mors
or less qualified, naturally or by educa
tion, to fill the positions assigned to them
My Informant designated one of tbe cab
inet officers as a "swelled dunce," and
one of Aguinaldo' foremost generals aa a
"riciooa, uneducated ignoramus and
highway robber " from which it will be
seen tbat tbe personel of Aguinaldo'.
cabinet was not such as to give us much
confidence in iu Major General Merrilt

From the Philadelphia North American.
"Wake op, Jacob,
Pay's a breakln'.
Fire on the hearth,
' An' ' hoe rake's btikin.' "
Philadelphia is almost as favorite a field
for men wbo want to "sell gold bricks"
as is New York. This time, however.
Philadelphia is being used as a stalking
horse. Iu Toronto, Canada, are tbe stalk
ers, whose names can not yet be given,
The game are the poor, hard-working
farmers and fishermen of Nova Scotia
and Cape Breton. Tbe story is the old,
old story of the great estate aud the lost
heir.
A Toronto firm, which has so far suc
cessfully coucealed its identity, flooded
the Eastern provinces of Canada with
circulars telling of an immense fortune
tbat lies ready to bard in the Bank of
North America, in Philadelphia, Pa.
Tbey say tbat tbe fortuue is tbe esUte of
one Jacob Baker, who lived here in 1774.
Also they offer wonderful adv.nUges to
.11 the farmers and fishermen wbo are !
asked to contribute small turns toward
tbe recovery or this princely estate. This
ex tat", tbe Toronto firm thinks, is worth
$su,ouu,0ou. Of course, tbe farmers and
fisberfolk of Nova Scotia want tbeir mill
ions, but they don't quite see bow to get
tbem.
Kev. F. A. Bowers, pastor or tbe Luth
eran Church at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia,
wbo is now in this city, was asked by bis
parishioners, many or whom are heirs of
this reputed Baker fortune, to find out
bout it. He is himself an beir, but he
offers to sell bis share of tbe $sC,000,OHO
for $20. He bas bad no "takers." He
was seen by a North American reporter
yesterday, and be told the story as it runs
n Nova Scotia, which is thus:
In the year 1..8, two brothers came to
Nova Scotia from (Jermany. They were
Bakers by name and bakers by trade, and
tbeir Christian names were respectively
George and Jacob. Tbey settled quietly
n the province and pursued their calling.
5od, bonest men, both of tbem, tbey no
oubt baked good, honest bread. In time.
though, Jacob saw that the prospect of
accumulating f-'t.OOO.OuO was slight, in
cold' Nova Scotia. He left his brother
George, therefore, to handle the bread
troughs, and emigrated to Phil delphia.
While bis brothot George pursued bis
floury path in a bake shop, Jaccb sought
flowery paths of a different order.
He worked, died and was buried and
there was an end of him temporarily.
He left no heirs.
George lived as he had begun, married
aud begat aa many heirs as are mentioned
a tbe Book of Numbers. Jacob's estate,
it is said, was under a ninety - nine year
ease. He died iu 17!1, and tbe lease, so
tbe story goes, expired io 1.-&0. Since
then Jacob bas been turned over in bis
grave, dug up, investigated and relegated
again to the cold tomb. But tbe story of
his esUte lives.
Though the Bank of North America is
mentioned in the Toronto firm's circu
lars, not all of the estate is there. Some
of it, these Toronto philanthropists say,
is there, some of it is in Ilarrisburg, and
some of it is invested in "farm lands ly-
ng at or about Eleventh and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia." Altogether, it is
so delightfully indefinite that it resem
bles the bit of gold at tbe rainbow's foot.
Many of tbe Baker heirs jumped at
once at the bait, paid the $25 asked by the
Toronto firm and were booked. Others
nibbled and held off. Still others shook
tbeir beads gravely, put their $25 back iu
tbe old stocking and tied it up again.
Several letters have been received by a
prominent Philadelphi a. Tbey are writ
ten by men of repute in tbe Eastern prov
inces of Canada, and they ask his assist
ance in exposing what tliey feel sure is a
gigantic fraud.
Tbe backers or tbe fraud do not hesitate
to use the names or well-known meo ; for
instance, the name of Judge Wetherbee,
of Prince Edward Island, wbo is referred
to as one of tbe heirs. Here is au extract
from a lawyer's letter :
'My object in writing to you is to find
out about a big property in Philadelphia.
I am in no way interested in it, but a lot
or people here suppose tbey have a title
to IU It is called 'the Baker fortune.' A
man named George Baker came here in
1778. His brother went to Philadelphi,
It is said bis brother left property uuder
a ninety-nine year lease, and died with
out issue, and that the property is now in
want of legal owners. Strangers are wri
ling to the Bakers of Ibis province telling
tbem of fso.OuO.OJO which, with others,
tbey can claim, and asking these poor.
ignorant people to send so much cash to
aid in tbe recovery of the property."
Now, tbe beauty of the story for the
Toronto firm is the iotroduc ion of tbe
lease clause. Tbat clause pre, eou much
from being brought out by tbe court rec
ords. Tbe Orphans' Court officials say
that it is a fra'td. What tbe Bank of
North America official think can be de
duced from this circular :
