" LDTZ " TIFEK GOES TO THE " FEN."
The average cost or holdicg court per
day is fti, and this sum does uot include
the salary of tbe President Judge, the per
uiem charges or tbe Associate Judges,
and the fees of the District Attorney. It
can not, therefore, be other than a matter
of regret to the taxpayers of tbe county
that tbey are compelled to bear even a
fraction of tbe expense created by the
trial of criminal cases such as cousumcd
the greater portion of tbe time of the
court last week.
As an illustration of the needless ex
peuse imposed on the Ux payers of the
county we cite the case in which a boarding-housekeeper
lodged an information
against one of her guests, charging him
with defrauding her out or a bill of $1 20.
The defendant wu arrested almost three
months ago, and in default of bail was
committed to the county j ill, where he
remained an expense on the taxpayers of
tbe county np until last Thursday, when
he was lad on trial. He was promptly
convicted and sentenced to pay a small
tine, the costs of prosecution, and under
go thirty days' more confinement in jaiL
It is perhaps as needless to add that the
defendant is penniless and without
friends, otherwise he would have settled
w ith his landlady before going to jsil, as
it is to state that be will be discharged
upon serving his term of imprisonment
under the insolvent law. At all events
the taxpayers of the county will have to
pay in the neighborhood of fllK) for the
satisfaction the laudlady may derive from
having made a determined effort to col
lect a board bill of While we are
not disposed to find fault with the land
lady or the sworn officers of the law, we
are compelled to denounce the system
under which such an action cau lie
brought into court, consuming the time
of court and jury, as outrageous. With
proper legislative euactiuont all but a half
score of the nfty-odd cases calendared
for trial last week could have been dis
posed of by Justices of the Peace, and
the taxpayers thereby relieved of payiug
tbe expense or holding numerous ses
sions of court.
Of the cases tried last week that of the
Commonwealth vs. Lewis I'ifer, charged
with aggravated assault and battery, ou
information of his wife, was the most se
rious. Some two or three months ago Pi
fer went to his suburban residence in
Showiuantown, adjoiningSomerset, bowl
ed up with whisky. His wife mildly re
buked biiu for violating a promise he had
made not to drink another drop, where
upon her liege lord proceeeded to demol
ish the household furniture, with start
ling results. In fact, there was not a
whole article of furniture left in tbe house.
not exceptiug the miik-crocks, when
Lewis finished up the job, a cording to
the averment of his wife. Housekeeping
having been thus summarily disposed of.
Mrs. Pifer sought employment as a do
mestic, entering the service or Mr. R. R.
R iberts. Pifer visited his wife at the
Roberts residence and promised to ab
stain from drinking and sav bis earn
ing', when, in case of his keeping bis
promise, his wifearted to resume house
keeping with him about the time the
bluebirds reappear next Spring. Lewis
went to McKee's Rocks, near Pittsburg,
here he secured employment at f l per
day, but, after laboring for a few weeks,
his longing for the old domestic life be
came so strong that he concluded to re
tirn home. Arriviug at Rick wood be
swallowed several potions probably
"jerked lightuing" before continuing to
So'iierset. Arriving here on the 2d of
September, be straightway sought his
wife, who extended tbe index finger of
her right baud, declining to permit Lewis
to caress a larger portion of her anatomy.
This unexpected, cool reception chilled
the ardor that had been burning in
Lewis' bosom, and it aeeins that all of the
"pizen" he could pour into his stomach
during the ensuing forty-eight hours fail
ed to rekindle the flame. Monday morn
ing he was heard to indulge in threats
against bis wife's life, and the same day
he endeavored to secure a revolver where
with to carry his threats into execution.
The subsequent proceedings are best told
by tbe victim, Mrs. Pifer: "I arose about
6 o'clock Tuesday morning," testified
Mrs. Pifer, "and went to the well and
filled the teakettle with water. Return
ing to the kitchen I turned on the gaso
line and was in the act of striking a match
when Mr. Pifer came in, and, picking np
a heavy oak chair, struck me, cutting a
deep gash in my head. He struck me a
number of times over the shoulders and
body, and then left. I was con fined to
bed for several days. I had beard of bis
threats, and Monday 'swore my life on
him, but he was not arrested." Several
witnesses were called who corroborated
the prosecutrix's statement, before the
defendant was permitted to take the stand.
Lewis insisted on telling the whole story
leading up to the assault, and, in spite or
all the attorneys on both sides could do t
keep him quiet, succeeded in making his
statement to the court and jury. He al
leged that he was consumed with jeal
ousy, and. upon finding that his wife
preferred the company of another to his.
he decided to bid her good-by aud com
mit suicide. It was, he solemnly declar
ed, for tbe puipose or giving his wife
good -by that prompted the visit to Rob
erta kitchen. Instead of Mrs. Pifer's
greeting him with tear-stained cheeks
aud moist eyes, as he had fondly hoped
she would, he was greeted with taunting
comments about bis fancied rival and the
legs of a chair the woman hurled in his
face. He acted in self defense throughout,
according to his own statement or what
took place that morning. The defend
ant's statements on cross-examination
did not dovetail with bis previous exam
ination, and he was forced to admit that
after quilting tbe Roberts premises he
went to the home or his brother-in-law
"Pete" Miller where he fired three shots
into his cranium with suicidal intent,
Fortunately, Lewis' marksmanship was
bad, and the bullets lodged under tbe
skin and were easily removed. From
Miller's be went to tbe grove below town,
and the same afternoon came back to
town and gave himself up to the Sheriff.
It required less than five minutes' time
for tbe jury to arrive at a verdict of
"guilty in manner and form as indicted,"
and Friday morning Lewis was called up
for seutence. Judge Longenecker deliv
ered a caustic lectnre to tbe prisoner be
fore sentencing him to "py a fine of f 10,
the costs of prosecution, and to undergo
two years' imprisonment in tbe Western
Penitentiary." Lewis appeared to be un
affected when sentence was imposed, but
he realized whit it meant Sunday morn
ing, when Sheriff HarUull removed him
from tbe jail to the "pen."
Dr. V. S. Musser, tbe well-known phy
sician, whose vicious habits have appa
rently destroyed a bright and useful ca
reer and caused biiu to take a place, on
more than one occasion, in the criminal
d-Jck, was found guilty of assault and
battery, on information of W. J. Penn, a
resident of Berlin. Musser had also lodg
ed an information against Penn, charging
him with a similar offense, and the jury,
evidently thinking that the county should
not pay for the trouble between tbe par
ties, imposed two thirds or the coats of
prosecution upon Penn, and one-third
upon Musser. Tbe fight between tbe
principals to the cross suit grew out of a
kraut-cutter, which Musser had borrowed
from a neighbor, and which Penn isalleg
ed to have sought to borrow from M usaer'a
wife, Tbey got together at 5 o'clock one
morning in the stable of Penn, where
Musser alleged Penn assaulted him, and
Penn alleged that Musser had opened
hostilities, both claiming to have acted in
self-defense. Musser waa bound over in
tbe sum of $1,000 to keep tbe peace, and.
owiug to his inability to procure bail, was
sent to jail.
E. V. Babonck, the head of a big lum
ber firm doing business in Ogle township,
was defendant In case charging assault
and battery, on Information of a huckster
named Kimmel, of Bedfoad county,
From tne evidence adduced It appeared
that Mr. Rabnock. who keep a general
stoieat his lumber camp, had made sev
era I purchases from Kiiniiiel, and when
tbe prosecutor undertook to dispose of
the remainder af his produce to tbe regu
i lar customers of tbe Babjuck store, tbe
defendant ordered biiu off the lumber
I company's premises. A quarrel eusutd.
which tbe prosecutor declare! was un
provoked, bat which tbe defendant
said was caused by Kiinmel's making au
effort to draw a revolver and calling biin
names not used in friendly conversation.
At all eveuts, Baboock dragged the huck
ster from his wagon and when the "mill
was over it was clearly apparent that tbe
vendor of fruit and poultry bad bad the
abort end of the argument. The jury
found the defendant guiity, and be was
sentenced to pay a fine of f 10 and costs of
proserotiou.
Another Ogle township case was one
in which H. A. Troxall was prosecutor
and a fourteen -year-old lad named Ber
keybile tbe defendant. Defendant was
charged with burning a blacksmith shop,
and several witnesses for the Common
wealth testified that be bad confessed to
the crime alleged in their presence.
Other wilnnseoM averred that the defend
ant bad a grudge against tbe owners of
tbe blacksmith shop because bis (defend
ant's) wages were paid to bis father. The
defendant declared that If he had set fire
to tbe building he was unconscious of
having done so, alleging that he was
drunk at the time and that one Riftle
bad supplied him with tbe intoxicating
liquor. His statement appears to have
been accepted by tbe jury, since tbey
returned a verdict of not guilty, and
placed the costs or prosecution on '.he
prosecutor.
The parties to the boarding-house Mse
referred to in the introductory of this
article were Mrs. Elizabeth McKen
drick and Thomas Mc Fee, both partiis
hailing from Windber. Tbe defendant
owed Mrs. McKeudrick a balance of f 1 2(1
wben he left her house, but he left
his niiuing tools and some clothing in the
landlady's keeping, which he considered
equivalent to the debt. His brother paid
fi of the ft 20 due Mrs. McKeudrick, but
she was determined to have tbe last
penny aiming to her if there was any
way of getting it. McFee waa convicted
of intent to commit a fraud, but Mrs.
McKendricK was put to tbe trouble of
coming to court, and considerable ex
pense, without recovering tbe coveted
fJ-William.
A case from Elk Lick developed the
fact that it had beeu lodged in the wrong
court, and instead or the prosecutor
bringing an action in tbe criminal cnur,
be should have sought redress in a civil
suit, R. S. Garrett, superintendent of
the Merchants' Coal Company, bulged an
information against two young men
named Sutler and another named Mill
iron, charging them with malicious mis
chief. The prosecutor claimed that de
fendants bad destroyed tbe usefulness of
an icehouse of which his oompauy claims
to have a lease, while tbe defendants set
up the plea that the ownership of the
building was in tbem. Tbe costs of tbe
case were placed on the prosecutor.
A Paint township assault and battery
ease against Aaron Seese, Daniel Yonker
aud Lawrence Grush, on information of
Adam Yost, brought a large number or
wittnesses to court, but the case was set
tled before being called for trial.
Albert Berkebiie appeared as prosecu
tor in a case against Albert Riffle,
charged with furnishing liquor to minors.
Tbe prosecutor is the father of the de
fendant mentioned above acquitted on a
charge of arson, while tbe defendant was
a wi ness for the Commonwealth in that
trial. The jury returned a verdict of
guilty and Riffle was sentenced to pay a
tine of 10, the costs of prosecution and
to undergo twenty days' imprisonment
in the county jaiL
Latharant ia Beuiea,
On Thursday evening the opening ser
mon of the Allegheny Lutheran Synod,
held in the Lutheran church, was deliv
ered by the President, Rev. Johnstone,
of Salisbury, after which tbe Synodical
communion was observed by the mem
bers. About sixty-five clergymen were
in attendance and about twenty lay dele
gates from as many different congrega
tions were received as members of the
Synod on presentation of their creden
tials. It was formerly tbe custom for private
parties to entertain the members of Synod
at their homes, but of recent years this
practice has been permitted to die out,
and as a result tbe members of this year's
session were obliged to seek entertain
ment at tbe local hotels. This was not on
account of any lack of hospitality on the
part or the people of Somerset, but was
in accordance with the expressed desire
of a number or tbe leading meinliersof
the Synod.
The Synod proper held its first session
Friday evening. After a brief devotional
service. Rev. B. 8. Dice, the secretary,

Sev. J. J. Waleh's Twenty Tifth Tear la tie
Fri.dent Lothtran Pastorate Appro
priately Celebrated.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of Kev.
J. J. Welch's pastorate in the Fr'edens
Lutheran charge was appropriately cele
brated lat Thursday, lictolier 1st twen
ty-five years ago he preached his fintt
sermon as pastor of tbe Frledens church.
His charge at that time was composed of
Kriedens, Wills, Stoynstown, Horner and
Hodman congregations a very large
charge for one minister. Five years later
it was deemed proper to divide tLe
charge, and Rev. Welch continued to j
minister to tbe Frieden and Wills con
gregations. A short time thereafter the
Shauksville congregation desired his ser
vices, and be became tbeir pastor for sev
eral years. Thus did Father Welch min
ister to six congregations and it has been,
his pleasure to see three flourishing pas
torates formed from the seed be nurtured.
Time bas dealt gently with Father
Welch. He bears the weight of sixty
years with comparative ease, and not
withstanding the multifarious duties he
is called upon to perforin, he has learned
to grow old gracefully. Not only as pas
tor, but as counselor and frieud has he
made an imp revs ou the community ia
which he has lived so long and labored
so unselfishly, and it was for these rea
sons that bis friends decided to commem
orate his twenty-fifth anniversary as pas
tor or the Friedens and Wills congrega
tions in a fitting and substantial manner.
Thursday was an ideal autumnal day
and representatives from the seveial con
gregations once served by Father Welch.
well as from churches or other denom
inations gathered at the house or wor
ship where his voice has strengthened
and comforted his flock for so many
years. Tbe people of the entire commu
nity joined the throng in honor of hiui
whom all had learned to esteem and re
spect and helped to make the occasion a
memorable one.
At lft'k) o'clock, after tbe choir had
rendered an appropriate anthem, the pro
gram published in a recent issue of tbe
Hkbalo, was taken up. The addresses
covered all that could be said in com
mendation of Father Welch's usefulness
and activity during the years intervening
Detweeu 1874 and lrtfj. An address not
on tbe program was delivered by Dr.
Richards, of tbe Gettysburg Theological
Seminary, who had been delegated to
present Father Welch with a purse con
taining more than .'i00 on behalf of his
many friends. Father Welch was no
ticeably affected by the many kiud words
that had been said in his honor and was
entirely unprepared to receive this gen
erous testimonial, but he bravely con
quered bis emotions and in a few ieeling
words thau ked all who bad contributed
to the pleasure of tbe occasion.
To the committee in charge of tbe ar
rangements and to the people or Frie-
duns all who attended the anniversary
are indebted rir tbe generous hospitality
shown them on last Thursday, a day that
will forever linger in tbeir memory.
Father Welch has handed us the fol
lowing for publication :
Card of Thanks.
As many of my kind friends who git re
as snch a sub.tautiaj "lift" could Dot
well be present on tbe day of our "Silver
Anniversary"' celebrating our twenty
five years' service in the Friedens pastor
ate I take thia means of expressing my
sincere and heartfelt thanks to each and
all for their kindly act of beneficence,an J
trust that the generous donors may real
ize to tbe fullest extent the Scriptural
declaration that it ia even more blessed
to give than to receive; and may the Giv
er of all gnod greatly enrich them with
every temporal and spiritual blessing.

Charles HeUler was lodged in jil Su s -diy
to answer a charge of highway rob
bery preferred by William Rice, of this
place. Rice and Hetzler had been to

claimed that Rice exhibited a roll of
money. A bout ::! o'clock he started for
his home on tJrsvel Hill. Hetzler vol
iintrered to go with him, saying that be

The two men started west on Main street,
several people having seen them together
passing tbe Somerset House. Shortly
after they crossed West street and when
beyond the glare of the electric street
lamp Rice claims that Hetzler assaulted
hiin with a bUckjack, knocking bim
down and cutting several ugly gashes in
hU head. When he recovered himell
his money, about fit was gone, and so was
Hetzler, It is claimed that several people
living in tbe neighborhood witnessed tbe
assault. Sunday morning Rice and two
or three companions visited the boue
occupied by tbe Hetzler's on tha Stoyes
town load, a short distance north t
town for the purpose of seeking an ex
planation of bis conduct and to try and
recover tbe misiug money. The woman
at the bouse said that Hetzor was sick in
bed, but while she was parleying with
Rice and his friends Hetzler was seen
making bis Way for tbe woods back of
tbe house. The party followed and soon
overtook bim. Hetzler declared thai
when be and Rice were traveling toward
the Highland Ion Saturday evening tbey
were both assaulted by two or three un
known men and that be got away as soon
as be could. He denied that be bad at
tacked Rice and relieved bim of his
money. Hetzler waa induced to come to
town and when be arrived here be was
arrested on a warrant charging him with
