The "Bachelor's Club" was organized several years ago wilh a limit ed membership, which has since been increased by tbe admission of young men who have arrived at an age w heu they feel that thry "can court a pretty girl at 10 o'clock at night." When tbe Club was organized straws weredrawn to determine who should pay for tbe banquet in hon or of the first member wbo sbould wed, and at each subsequent meetingstrawsare drawn for the same purpose. .Friday night Mr. Frank Hoblitxoll, of Meyers dale, drew the unlucky short straw, and F wnk Forney, of Somerset, drew tbe next shortest, making biin Mr. Uoblits ell'a alternate.

Su hi, of Meyersdale, were hunting for sweet root, an early spring herb that la much sought after by boys at this season of tbe year, on one of the back streets of Meyersdale about six o'clock Monday evening. Tbey succeeded in finding some kind of a vegetable growth, believed to have bee l wild parsnip, And both at freely of it. A few minors afterwards the lads became sick and started for their respective homes. Young Miller fell un conscious on tbe street before he reached home and died about an hour afterwards without having regained consciousness. He was attended by two of lbs best phy sicians of the town, but their efforts to save his life were unavailing. Suthl was deathly sick when be arrived at tbe borne of his parents. A physician was hastily summoned, but when he reached the bonse the youth was nnoon scious. Alter working with him for a sbort time the physician succeeded in restoring him to a conscious condition and promptly gave him an emetic. Young Stahl is said to have suffered agon sing pains throughout the night, and was still in a critical condition wbeD last heard from Tuesday evening. CKIHISAL COVET. Coats Placed on Parties laterettsd Initsad of County. Although fifty ones 'were calendared for trial at May term of criminal court, all were disposed of in time for Judge Longeoecker to take the 10 o'clock Fri day morulng train for Bedford. The case of the Commonwealth t Cy rus Hetnminger, to which brief refer ence was made last week, was decided Wednesday morning, when the jury re turned a verdict of not guilty and placed tbe costs upon the prosecutor, William W. Young. Hetnminger was the sur viving executor of David Phillippi, de ceased. Among the receipts filed by him upon final settlement of the trust were three bearing what purported to be tbe signature of Mrs. Sarah Young, wife of tbe prosecutor, whose daughters bad kept bouse at intervals for the widow of Mr. Phillippi. Mrs. Young acknowledged on the witness stand that the signature to a receipt for fiS50 was genuine, but claimed that tbe figures had been chang ed from $15 50 to fli 50, aud alleged that tha other two signatures were forgeries. Mr. Hemmlnger testified that Mrs. Young had signed all of (he receipts In question, but admitted that after writing the receipt for $15.50 be discovered that his wife bad paid $10.00 to one of the Young girls for services rendered tbe Phillippi estate, and had changed tbe receipt to include that amount before Mrs. Young had signed her name to iL Experts on handwriting testified in be half of the defendant, and a large number of witnesses boro evidence t-i Hemming er's good character. The case ex:lled more than lbs usual amount of interest, owing to the prominence of the parties concerned on both sides. James D. Blouch, a robber, who held up William Jones, who appeared as pros ecu tor, iu a freight car at Rock wood, con cluded to enter a plea of guilty after sev eral witnesses had been examined and incrimimUed him. He was sentenced to psy the costs of prosecution and to under go t hree years' confinement in tbe West ern Penitentiary. Blouch was taken to tbe pen by Sheriff Saylor Friday, and on tbe way down admitted to the Sheriff that he bad "done time" before. Tbe grand jury ignored the bill against Fred Smith, Sr., and Fred Smith, Jr., charged with aasault and battery, on in formation of George Shaffer, and placed the costs on the prosecutor. Tbe indictment against Cyrus Coleman, charged with defrauding a boarding- house keeper, on information of Susan Hoyle, was ignored by the grand jury and tbe costs placed upon Susan. James Diamond entered a plea of guilty of robbing Mrs. Mary Dulricht, of Scalp Level, notice of which was made last week, and was sentenced to the Re form School at Morganza. J. A. Berkey, E-q , appeared as prose cutor in a case charging assault and bat tery against John F. Snyder, a well known plasterer and Spanish war vet eran of this place. From the evidence adduced it appeared that Snyder had done a job of patching for Attorney Ber key in a tenement house, and that when be presented a bill for his services and the material ued $2 50 Berkey de clared the amount excessive and refused to pay it, unless compelled to do so by process of law. Snyder testified that be had submitted a proposition to Berkey wherein he agreed to let tbe matter of his charge to any other plasterer in town. This proposition was made in tbe office of the County Treasurer one morning early in last April, and when Berkey failed to agree to name an umpire, Snyder accompanied him to the office of Koontz & Ogle, to the poatoflice, and from there to tbe top of tbe stairs leading to Berkey'a office, at which point, he testified, Berkey kicked him on tbe shins and attempted to push him down tbe stairway, where upon Snyder struck him a blow on the nose, causing tbe blood to flow freely. Berksy did not controvert any of tbe statements made by Snyder, except as to what occurred at the top the stairs. F. J. Kooser, Ktq., conducted the case for Berkey, and A C. Holbert, Esq., looked after Snyder's Interests. The trial consumed a day and a half, the jury re tiring at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon and remaining out until 8 o'clock that evening, when they returned a verdict of not guilty and divided the costs between tbe prosecutor and defendant. The an nouncement of the verdict was applauded by the crowd in tbe courtroom. Thursday morning a motion was filed with tbe Court asking that the verdict be set asie so far as tbe costs placed upon the prosecutor were concerned, and pray ing for ten days' time in which to file the reasons therefor. In case this is done, one-half of the costs will have to be borne by tbe county. Mrs. Frank Napoleon, at whose speak easy in Windber five men were murder ed on. Ktsfer Sunday night, entered a plea of guilty to charges of selling liquor without license and on Sunday. The Court sentenced her to pay the cos's of prosecution, a fine of $oOO, and to undergo three months imprisonment in the county jail on (he charge of selling liquor with out license, and on tbe Sunday charge imposed a fin of f-iO aud the costs of pros ecu tiou.

Tbe extensive lumber mills of James Curry it Sons, located near Arrow Post office, Paint township, about four aud a half miles from Windber, were totally destroyed by fire Thursday night, A night watchman was on duty, but be did not discover tbe (lames nntil such headway had been gained that all efforts to extinguish them weie unavailing. There is no clue to the origin of tbe fire, but it Is generally supposed that it was by a spark from tbe boiler furnace. The der Unction of the mill entails a loss of from f,000 to fW,000, which is partially covered by $20,000 insurance. The ownors will rebuild just as soon as the insurance companies visit tbe scene of the fire and the rubbish can be cleared away. James Curry A Sons purchased the tract of 1 md on which the mill was locat ed some two or three years ago for some thing more than 100,0no, and bad erected a modern lumber plant. Tbe owners live aear the mill, and, with the men who conducted the operations, have built up a villageof considerable sir.e necessi tating tbe opening of tbe Arrow Post oftice about two months ago. fiOSHKX.
