Ail Bids for Proposed Sewr Syitsm Exceed Appropriation Voted by Cttlseoi ef tbe BoroBgh. . KE'XE0P0SiLS ASKlD I-CE. The bios live in all tor the coostroc lion .f Somerset s proposKsl sewer ayn teni w ere opened at a meeaine of isiuncil Le! 1 Ust Wednesday auernoon. The bid ranged frtim ?.",'1Ui7,OiiO in round iiiimls.-rs. the lowest being tbat of Uie oroenville C'tustructiuu Company, of ireeliville, Ohio. The members of council and Kngineer Hat ing, it is ceedle-w tii ad 1. were disap pointed hen they found tbat none of tbe bi.ls were lesn than tbe appropriation and that they are powerless to enter jnbi a contract for I bo construt"tion of that pori ion of the work for which they bad advertises for proposals. A t'.er learning thai tha funds at tbuir d sposai would not carry trie work con templated to isimpletion the members of su:ic 1 hold several informal meetings for tbe purp'tse of further discussing the situation, anil, if possible, t devise some plan whereby a start on the proposed work should not Ite indefinitely post poned. With this object in view they corisulto I with Kngineer Hating w ho agreed to make a few alterations in his sp iiti.'h.ii.ios, w bich will materially lessen the c .st of the work without iuler ftrnig with the ellb ieucy of the system ; and they also directed the ingiiicer to make an estimate of the probable ctst of constructing the outlets for the proxwed system, which lm has accordingly done and for which cMincil has alreaiy re ceived a lump sum bid. The most expensive section of the pro posed work is the laying of sewer pipes from tbe borough liuti to the prtipised outlet some Kni feet south of town. This, however, eft be d me, and in addition the following intet-cajjtinjr linos can be constructed with the funds now available for sewer pnr(wts : fntm tbe sooth bor ough line to the intersection of Pleasant and Catherine streets, (one square north of Michael Kiler's re-id '.nee j ; from the south Itoroiigh line to the intersection of Main and Fast streets, (lb J. Horner's resident;! from the south borough line to the intersection of Maiu Crosa and I'niou streots, I First Xational Bank comer); from the south borough line to the inter section of West and Xorlh streets, s. Shirers' residence) ; frtim the sonth bor ough line to the intersection of 2d alley and I'nion streets I Water-Pumping Sta tion. I Thealstve lines, if completed, w ill form the skeleton to which every lateral contemplated in the system devised by Kngineer Ilaring cu be connected at comparatively insiguiti -ant cost, and it is believed by the Engineer and members of council tbat all laterals can Ite imme diately carried U) coiiipletioc if an addi tional appropriation is authorized before tha intercepting lines named above have been laid. In case only the outlet and intercept ing j ipes are put down ouly those citizens w ho reside and have their busi ness houses on Main Cross street, a few oi Pleasant, Hist, Wot, Patriot streets, will lie in-position to tap the pipes, w hile a vast majority of iiie citi zens will le compelled to ei.ber wait until laterals have been laid by the municipality, or to lay them at tLe ex pense of abiittiug property holders under the supervision of the borough engineer. While a majority of the householders will be temporarily deprived ol tapping the sewer system, tuuless done at indi vidual expense; there is no good reason why council should not take annually from the general fund of the borough an j amount suilicient to coustruct laterals on at leas' one of the streets running east and w jsl from end to end, and, if ibis is done, it will ruiuire only tight or nine years to provide sewers for the accomoda tion of aiuie than ninety-five perceut-of the improved properties in tbe corporate limits and fr more than ninety five per cent, of the entire population of the town. Iu view of the foregoing, which is the view takeu by members of council, it is clearly manifest that tbe best, most prudent and w isest course for tbe citi zens to take is to authorize au additional appropriation Urge enough to carry the ewer system devised by F.ngineer Har iug to the extreme limit demanded by the present requirements of the town and thus avoid ihe future construction of laterals, all of w hich council feels safe in saying can le ajoc.mpiished v.-itb an ad ditional appropriation of fT.OJil or $.0)iX The members of couuoil are perfectly satisiied with the sewer systeai devised by Kngineer Ilaring. whi :h has baeu ap proved by one of the highest auth.irities on sanitary engineering in the world, and they feel that itcannot beiiuprovd upon. To those persons who have felt disposed to criLitMse tbe action of council and the engineer's plan, it is only necessary to say that tew if any of them, have inspected the plans and specifications, while on the other hand they have gained their infor mation from those who have antagonized the contemplated public improvement from its inception and have ever since been actively engaged in disseminating false inf inn tti n iu regir l to the same. Iu regard to the matter of providing outlets for cellar and surface drainage S tmerset is most advantageously situated, but the eugi leer ami members of c.inoeii have not 1- -st sight of the lacl that drain age of this character will have ti be pro vide! foriu a limited uumtter of instan ces, but it can be done and properly done cnuparaiively trifling cost. Sh mid an additional appropriation be refused and council determine to con struct the m iiu outlets mentioned it will give the people of Somerset not only the nucleus of a splendid sewer system but w uil pla -e the towu in a better sanitary condi'ion tbau it has been for many years, and will provide immediate relief for all those who have for years and are at pre- uit complaining of tbe foul excrescences that flood the gutters and water coursts in various sections. At a meeting of council Monday afler irum a resolution was adopted directing that s?a!J prop sils be received for the construction of tae main outlet and all intercepting sewers. L'gonier to Somerset. Taik continues in interested quarters ats'.ut the propos-d railroad between Lig tuler and Somerset, connecting with ths f.igonier Valley at the former ploe, says a lireensburg taxpayer. The Byers-Allen Compsny is now ex tending the Ligonier Valley Railroad seven miles from L'gmier oat to where the lumber-mills ar being erett'd. The improvement lieing made by these E astern cipit ilists will c tst fiV),(V0. It is generally agreed that they would not be pulling in this amount of money just to g t at tbe lumber in that section of the county. Ryers and the Aliens are wealthy . od they are ba-'kei by men of nnney from Xe York and Pittsburg. The capitalists aee that a railroad tapping thai rich mountainous country would yield big dividends, it is said, and there will le uiitjiey forthcoming to push the liue clear to S ttnersMt, virtually making that pin thirty-tive miles nearer Pitts burg. It is suaid the Pennsylvania would in terest Itself iu such a project in order to obtain aress ti certain part of Somerset Ctxiuty w bich it canuttt reach by means of Ks lines entering fron the north. In tie territory Ix-tweou Ligonier and Somerset there are said to lie rich ilppos its of blue rock, lire clay, white sand, and at ua from which an excellent quality of paint can lie manufactured. In addition there ts a fine growth of thn lier. The road would be a rather expen sive one to c instruct, but it i said thai it will soon pay for itself.

Peck, who ia the presi dent of the Board. Mr. Peck's oration bad been carefully prepared and bristled with interesting data aud information. He was heartily congratulated by all present at the conclusion of bis effort. Kev. l.avau and L. C. Colltorn, Ks.j , were called upon, and both responded with re marks suitable to the occasion. A feature of the exercises'was tbe singing by a choir uuder the leadership of Frof. James Iletze!. A eopy of the Laws and Regulations of tbe State Board of Charities, Lwa and Regulations of the State Committee on Lunacy, Directory of the Almshouses and Charitable Institutions of the Common wealth, tbe several reports of the Direct ors of the Poor of Somerset County, a photograph of the late Isaac Hugus, Kq., author of the Act of Assembly creatiug tbe County Home, historical data of tbe County of Somerset, copies of all tbe county papers, and fractional coins of the United States, all wrapped in a beautiful new silk American flag, were deposited in the excavation chiseled in the stone for that purpose. After the masons had placed the atone in positiou under the direction of Archi tect W. II. Stoddard, refreshments were served by the Steward and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. William Ream. The new hospital building will Ite Ituiit of brick ISx!Ki reot and will be two sto ries high, it will be equipped with all modern appliances and when completed w ill compare favorably with any similar institution in tbe State. It is expected tbat the hospital building will be finished throughout by November 1st, when all of the chronic insane from this county now being' cared for at State institutions will return and be cured for at tbe County Hospital. The contract price for the new building is flib'2, and tbe Poor Directors estimate that this sum will be received fron the State within the course of five years and that the inmates of the County Hospital will be as carefully looked after and cared for as they have been t Slate Institutions. Tbe local Poor Board has received over $2,000 since January 1st for maintaining the chronic Insane provided for at the County Home at the present time, and their action in erecting a hospital which is intended to provide for all who are now and may hereafter become a charge on the county, will be commended by all thoughtful persons w h o are interested in this praiseworthy work.

Arrangement- have been made wfih tbe B A- O. to run special excursion trains aod to sell excursion tickets for regular trains to Markleton on that day. Tbe committee in charge of the arrangements believe that the crowd in attendance will be larger than heretofore, as tbe place selected for the reunion is oneof tbe most attractive in the county. Refreshments can be had on the grounds. Addresses will be delivered by Rev. W. L. Seabrook, of Winchester, Va., Missionary W. M. Beck, of Monrovia, Liberia, W. H. Ruppel and J. C. Speicher. An interesting musical program has also been arranged for. From all sections of the county come gratifying reports of splendid crops. Iiay was never finer or more prolific and tbe crop already hirvested is an enormuus one. Lst week's protracted raiufall in terfered with the making of thousands of t ins of hay that bad been cut, but it is be lieved tbat ioost, if not all of it, has been saved and will be harvested this week. Many farmers have harvested their wheat and those who were prevented from doing so last week are now busily engaged storing it away. The wheat crop is a magnificent one. An immense acreage throughout tbe county is planted with potatoes and the yield promises to be an unusuaMy large one. Oats and corn are both btoking fine.

BIG COAL DEAL. BeadiEg Iroa Compaiy Bnyt 9,00) Aort in Somtritt, Qassahoaiag aal Lla ola Tcvuhipa. JUDGE BASE'S ENrEBPEISE. Threst or four weeks ago the Herald announced that Judge Raer bail conclu ded an' immense coal deal, the details of which he did not wiab made public at that time. Since then the Judge and bis son-in-law A. Lv O. Hay. Esq. have been actively employed In examining titles aud procuring dissja for a large Dum!r of tracts of coal lands in Somer set, Lincoln and Quetnsboniug town ships, embracing in all some 8,000 acres. which Judge Baer baa sold to tbe Read- iug Iron Company, of which George F. Baer, of Reading, Is President. Vr. George F. Baer last week gave out the following statement in Philadelphia concerning the purchase : 'The Reading Iron Company Is large e tcsumer of bituminous coal and coke at its various rolling mills and blast fur- nacex. It was thought prudent to secure an adequate supply of fuel for its work, to purchase coal lands. In looking around, we concluded to buy a block of coal lands in Somerset county. The ag gregate acreage will probably be nine thousand res. Tbe lands are on the liue of the Baltimore tt Ohio's branch from I lock wood to Johnstown. ' Judge William Baer, my brother, owued a trail of coal land included In the sale, and he was the active represent ative of the Reading Iron Company in purchasing the lauds. There were more than fifty individual sellers. Judge Baer being the largest individual holding. The plot secured embraces practically the whole coal field ou the right and left of the railroad, with the exception of the lands owned by the Listle Coal Company, and a block of,several thousand acres which 1 myself own and still retain. "On the recently acquired property there baa hitherto been no mining, but a number of operations exist in the country adjacent. The quality of tbe coal is well known in the market. The property con tains live workable veins, known in the geological reports of tbe State as Beds A, B, C, D, and E. The Berwind-White Company are the principal coal shippers over the Penn...'lvanla system, and they are carrying on extensive mining opera tions in Somerset county, about fifteen miles north of the newly acquired prop erty of the Lron Company ; they are min ing Bed B. The Reading Iron Company is now opening Bed D, known In the Clearfield region as the 'Moshannon and and Bed CI, known in Somerset as the Listie,' "Our ground is near Mostollar Station, on the Somerset t Cambria Branch. The distance from these new mines to Read ing is 277 miles. The traffic will be over the B. A O. system to Cherry Run, a dis tance of l) miles, and from Cherry Run over the Western Maryland and Reading systems to Reading, a distance of 1-18 miles. 'The Reading Iron Company proposes to mine coal for its own use aloue, aud does not expect, for years to come, to mine all the veins it has secured. The country is one of tbe finest agricultural districts in the United States, and noth ing but tbe mining rights has been pur chased. Only where it was necessary for practical operations did we buy -the surface. 'I myself," concluded President Baer, i "have been for a number of years making private investments in this field, and I bought the coal property adjoining my lands because it could be acquired at what I consider a very low price. I did not sell any of my own lands 1 1 the Com pany," he concluded, smiling. Public Sale of Driving and Draft Horstt At Somerset, Pa., Monday, July 24, !, beginning at I o'clock P. M. sharp.

I" pon the question whether his victim was brute or human depends A. II. Bower's guilt or innocmce of the crime of murder, says a dispatch from Boue s tee I, S. D. Bower was one of the own ers of a small show. Among the attrac tions was a creature of seemingly a higher form of animal life than a monkey and lower than a man. Bower called tbe animal the "Missing Link," and laid great stress on the alleged fact that no one was able to say whether it belonged to the human or the brute creation. He now avers that the Animal.was a monkey. Ia a sen file with it the showman became angry, and, seizing a heavy club, dealt his antagonist a blow from the effects of which it died. The local authorities placed Bower under arrest ou a charge of murder. His lawyers set up the defense that their client did not take the life of a human being, but the magistrate bound hiiu over to tbe grand jury. Lathsrani at Idle wild. There is every indication tbat the an nual picnic aud reuniou of the Lutherans of Western Pennsylvania, to be held at Idlewild on July 20th, will be one of tbe largest and most enjoyable everts of the season. Excursion trains will be run over tbe P. R. R. from all points within reasonable distance, returniug at a cou- venieut hour, thus making its most de sirable day's outing. An interesting pro gram baa been arranged for the occasion, and noted speakers will be present. Idle- wild was never more beautiful, and never presented so many Attractive features as this year. Tbe lakes, groves and lawns were never so pretty and the new and ro mantic woodland lake is a source of nev er-ending pleasure to excursionists. This reunion will be a rare occasion for visit to Idlewild and a day of rest. Farmtr Brutally Beaton. Word from Windber says Adam Yost, the farmer living about three miles north east of Windber who was waylaid Friday night of last week and brutally beaten by three men whom be rocigniaid as L .w rence Grush, Airou Seese, aud D in lei Yonkera, will probably recover. Tbe men were bl .ing behind trees.and. jumping out suddenly, they pulled Yost from his horse and began beating him ; he pleaded for mercy and offered bis pocketbook, but the assaiian's said thry didn't want money and were going to kill hi in. Getting tired beating blm.tbey left tbe old man, covered with cuts and bruises, lying in tbe road, where be was found by members of bis family. Warrants were issued fur tbe assailants on Monday by Justice Sell and tbey were arrested by Constable Hayes. The defendants were held in f-OJ bail each for a bearing pending tbe recovery of their vicliin. Altoona paper say tbat Mrs. Annie Ingram, a middle-age-: woman with two small children, called at the Mayor's office Thursday morning and asked for assistance to reach Rock wood, Somerset county.

Surrey of Penniylvaaia will Eeqain Abont Piftetn Tears' Work. An important meeting of tbe State Sur vey Commission was beld In Pittsburg Saturday afternoon, its object being tbe adoption of plans for tbe topographical and geological survey of the entire State. The meeting, which took place at the Seventh-avenue Hotel, was attended by H. M. Wilson, of Washington, Chief Ge ographer of the I'nited States Survey. The State Commissioners, all of whom were present, are Former-Assemblyman George M. McKnees, of Kittanning, Chairman; Fred D. Barker, of E bens burg. Secretary, and Simon Harold, of Beaver Fails. What a great undertaking the topo graphical survey of the whole State is may be gauged from the fact that the maps are required to show every bouse ia city and country; eve.y road and path, the site, shape and height of every hill and mountain, every valley, stream, lake and pond, by means of contour lines. Tbe start will be made in Erie county because of tbe United States Iake Sur vey, upon which tbe new work can be based. From there operations will be extended into Fayette county, thence to Westmoreland, Armstrong aud Alle gheny counties. The last Legislature made an appro priation of 10,000 for the work on the part of the Slate, and the National Gov ernment is expected to contributes like amount. This will ouly be enough for a beginning, however. It is estimated the work will require fifteen years, and ex penditures will be made at tbe rate of some t"3n0 annually.
