good. Ligonier scored three in the
eighth and two in the ninth, winning the

fering to accept a bribe, or exacting from

vote in giv ir.g out a school, he would see
tht the director would have a great lot of

Mr. Walter Purdy, the well-known
barber of this place, last week secured an
a.lditioual patent on his dev ice for sharp
ening edge-tools. Mr. Purdy now ha
bis invention perfected in all particulars
and soon w iil have a novel machine on
the market, w here it will d-.HiUiess meet
w ith ready sale and win him a reputation
second only to Eli Whitney's. All w ho
baveseen Purdy' tsl sharpener in op
peration speak of it in the hi priest terms
and believe that It w iil be the mean of
making bim a very rich man. Primarily
the machine was devised for the purpose
of sharpening only raz rs. but the origi
nal model has been so altered and i n
p roved, upon that it will now place an
edge on any sized blade from a pocket
knife to a scythe aud do it so expeditious
ly and evenly as to commend itself to
manufacturers of edge-tools. Mr. Pur
dy recently declined the proffer of a large
sum of money for the exclusive right to
manufacture and sell his invention, but
he believes that he has a g d thing and
means to make all out of i. that can be
had for himself exclusively.
A dials. li -al pl'.t to poison the family of
Jacob Schrock, of Berlin, was happily
frustrated by the timely discovery of a
lot of parisgreen and otter poismm
substances that bad l-een placed in the
spring from hi. h the SchrtKk family se
cured their supply of hoiwhoid water.
Aecvrdii'g to the Record when Mrs.
Schrock visited the spri?!g to procure a
pail of water Sunday morning a week ago
she discovered the poisonous sulwtauc
floating ou the sarfac of the water and
smeared on the stor.e sides of the spring
wall. Had a less visible 5'ivnti'y b?en
thrown iuto the spring the entire family
would iu all prowt-iiity have fallen vic
tim to the murderous desigis of the
scoundrel wh i placed the poison in the
water. Mr. Schrock is unwilling to be
lieve that any one living in the commu
nity bears him sii"h enmity that he
would seek his life or the lives of the
members of his family, but the fact re
mains, nevertheless, thxt a p-Kriy dis
guised attempt was made to murder the
entire family by the o.ost cowardly
means known. Suspicion, it is said,
poims strongly towards certain parties
living iu theeommunity, but Mr. Sob rock
w iil take no steps lot. king towards their
l arrest until he is very sure that his sus-
picious can be justified in the courts.

With chara.-teristic enterprise th Phil
adelphia Timts Las taken the initiative
iu providing a memorial for gallant Col
onel Haw kins, of the Tenth Pennsylva
nia Volunteers, whose dead liody is now
speedingover the plains from tbe Paeiric
to his oi l home in Washington county,
where it wiil be committed tithe earth
with honors leyoniing his heroic conduct
and his worth as a citizen of the State.
Although the Tenlh Regiment is made
op of Western Pennsylvanians, they rep
resented tlm entire Slate in the Philip
pines and their heroic action attracted
the attention and admiration of the
American people, and it is therefore,
fitting that Colonel Hawkins' memorial
should be a tribute from the people of
the Commonwealth.
The form of the memorial is to be de
cided bjthe commissioned officer of the
Tenth Regiment. Its disposition will be
according to the w b.h of the family.
The Times heali tbe list with fifty
dolias-the limit of any one contribu
tion and will gladly acknowledge every
sum from a dime up received.
The, dead officer was personally known
to many residents of Somerset county,
who valued his friendship and gloried in
his career as a soldier and patriot, and
who fell that while their sons and rela
tives were under bis charge they would
receive fatherly care and attention.
The IH kai.k feels that the people of
Somers t ooumy w ill gladly avail them
selvts of the j portunity to contribute
to a memorial that will forever testi'y to
the heroism of the martyr commander of
the Tenth, and will receive contribu
tions to the fund, all of which will be
promptly turned over to the "Haw kins
.Memorial Fuud" of the Philadelphia
Times, and publicly acknowledged by
that journal and by the Hkk vi.o.

Thomas Mill, Conetuaugh township, w as
drowned iu the mill race at that place
shortly before noon last Thursday, while
the parents serf shopping in Johnstown.
The boy was missing from the house an

The region five miies east of this place
was visited by a dtstmuliv storm be
tween four ind v o'clock It Wednes
day afternoon. Hundreds of orchard
trees were t"rn up by the roots, w hile
others were twisted off, leaving torn and
splintered stumps, mu'e witne.sse of tbe
force of tho wind. The storm apears to
have spent its fury iu the neighborhood
of J. B. Winters, a few rods from Lull
posl-orhce, where the porch was blown
away from the bouse, tbe loof of the
house staved in, outbniKiDgi demolish
ed, and fenct-s scattered in every direc
tion. A large pear-tree standing imme
diately in froutof Mr. Winters residence
was torn up by Hie roots and blown acrosa
tbe pike, while an apple tree near the
rear of the building was twisted off at tbe
truuk and blown oc top of the roof, shat
tering the rafters. Grape-vines were roll
ed in balls and torn upby the roots, while
corn and oats were leveled with the
groui.d. Mr. Winters and several men
were working in a field close by when
they saw tbe storm coming, and they
made a break for the house, fighting their
way through flying limbs, pieces of tim
ber, and feuce rails. Mr. Winters says
that the storm was the worst one be ever
witnessed, and that il will take bim at
least a mouth to repair tbe damage it
wrought to hi property.
Down In Stonycreek township the storm
acquired the foice of a tornado, tearing
np everything in iu path from 100 to 500
yards wide. In the vicinity of the Glade
church giant oaks and orchard-trees were
uprooted, and limbs of trees were broken
olf and floated for long distances by the
force of the wiud. Thirty sugar -trees
were uprooted in the grove of Jacob M.
Glessner aloue, while still larger num
ber was destroyed in the grove of Edward
Miller. At least 100 trees were destroyed .
on the Miller farm, many of tbem having
every limb toru clean from the trnnk.
Daniel Landis also suffered tbe destruc
tion of a valuable portion of his apple
orchard. On the farm occupied by Joseph
Walker trees were uprooted indiscrimin
ately. Fences were scattered broadcast,
chimney-lops blown away, and nitmerous
wiudow panes were shattered. The storm
was the worst ever wituessed iu that sec
tion of the county, and appears to have
been confined to the narrow limit given
above.

Why Women Ar Kervoa.
HrilUh Medical News J
The frequent cases of nervous prostra
tion or utter collapse of the nervous sys
tem under which women "go all to
pieces," as the saying Is, have caused
mncb thought and Investigation on tbe
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic subslauces are well
know n to cause various forms of nervous
diseases which are readily traced to tbe
poisons producing them. Further re
search leads to the belief that alum is a
prevailing cause of so called nervous
prostration, for the symptom it produces
on the nervous system after its absorp
tion into the blood are very remarkable
indeed. Experiments physiologically
made upon animals by Ortila, Professors
Hans Mayer, Paul Seim aud others, show
that alum frequently produces no visible
symptoms fur mauy days after its intro
duction into the body. Then follow lows
of appetite and other alimentary disturb
ances, aud finally a serious pnwtration of
the whole nervous system. Tbe most
promiuent physicians now believe that
"nervous prostration" and many affec
tions of the nerves from which both men
and women suffer are caused by the con
tinued absorption of alum iuto the sys
tem. It is probable that many medical men
are unaware of tbe extent Ui which raits
of alumuia may be introduced into the
tdy, being under the impression that
the use of alum iu bread is. prohibited.
Alum, however, is still used surrepti
tiously to some extent to whiten bread,
and very largely in making cheap kinds
of baking powder, in families where
baking powder is generally used great
care should be exercised to prjeure only
those brands made from cream of tartar.
The alum powders may generally be dis
tinguished by tbe lower price at which
they are sold.

His chief interest being the bettering
of humanity, Mt. Sheldon has studied

work has beeu done, he divided the city
into group, railroad men, lawyers, busi

rough hands about the railroad yards,
served an apprenticeship as a reporter ou
a daily paper, spent three weeks with the
negroes of "Tennessee Town," played
ball and studied with the students of the
university, aud in every way tried to
gain a thorough koowledge of the inti

reach. It seems scarcely remarkable,
therefore, that both as a reformer, evan
