Bloody Affiray on the Confluence & Oak-
1and Branch.
Word comes from Friendsville, Md,
the terminus of the Confluence & Oak-
land Railroad, that a cowardly assault,’
which may yet: prove a murder, occur red
there Friday. . A lumbermsan named Star
geon, employed by Knapp & Co.; at Man-
or Land, Md., arrived in the village and
proceeded to get intoxicated. Fora lime
many people were afraid to venture from
their homes. While in this condition he
met two brothers, Will and Jolm Brown,
both peaceable young men.
were exchanged, and Sturgeon fired at
Will Browa fronr a revolver which he
had previously displayed to the terror of’
the neighborhood: The shot passed
through Brown's cheek and ont near his
ear, and struck the other brother on the
Jaw. ou : :
‘The Brown brothers, with blood stream-
ing from their wounds, wrestled with Burs
geon and stripped him of his revolver, |
after which they gave hin such u severe
beating that it is thought he may not re:
cover.. By the time assistance arrived
the two men presented a pitiable sight, the
assailant lying unconscious on the ground
with the two wounded brothers standing
over iim. The Browns were seriously
ing.—Somerset Herald.

Prospects of the P. R. R. Extension.
Yesterday The Register had the pleas-
ure of a call from Samuel :Philson, Esq.
Mr. Philson is actively interested in the
new railroad project, as he isin all other
movements for the public good. He is
chairman of the committee appointed to
confer with the Pennsylvania railroad
authorities and is now in coriespondence
with the officials. He hopes to be ready
in a short time to make a favorable re-
port, when a memorial will be presented
to the operators and businessmen in this
region for their signatures.
1n his opinion the most feasible route
for the road would be along the base of
the mountain from South Fork, through
Paint and Stonycreek to Berlin the route
would follow the Buffalo Valley to the
vicinity of Pine Hill. where by meaus of
a short tunnel it would strike the Blue
Lick, whence an easy grade would be
found to Meyersdale. From this point
the route would follow the Elk Lick, in-
stead of the Casselman, to and beyond
Salisbury. The Elk Lick route would be
by far the best for the operators between
Meyersdale and Grassy Run, as the coal
all dips in the direction of Elk Lick, and
mining operations could be conducted
with Jess trouble and expense.
Mr. Philson believes the outlook is
very good for a successful issue of the
negotiations. We trust his hopes will
be fully realized. and we know the pro-
jectors of the enterprise will meet with
hearty encourngement in this region.—

During the epidemic of flux in this
county, in 1888, I had hard work to keep
a supply of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand. People
often came ten or twelve miles in the
night to get a bottle of the remedy. 1
have been selling patent medicines for
the past ten years and find that it has
given better satisfaction in cases of diar-
rheea and flux than any other medicine I
have ever handled.—J. H. BENHAM.
Druggist, Goleconds, Pope Co., 11. Over
five hundred bottles of this Remedy were
sold in that county daring the epidemic
referred to. It was a perfect success and
was the only remedy that did cure the
worst cases. Dozens of persons there
will certify that it saved their lives. In
four other epidemics of bowel eomplaint
this remedy has been equally suecesstul.

Mr. Cadwalader Biddle, Secretary of
the State Board of Public Charities, vis-
ited the county poor farm and county
jnil Monday morning in an official capae-
ity. Before returning to his home, in
Philadelphia, he said that he found our
poor house in better condition than he
had ever before seen it, and that he be-
lieved that it would compare favorably
with any similar institution in the state,
for neatness, cleanliness and the general
comfort of its inmates. He strongly tec-
ommends that the buildings be supplied
with steam heat before any further im-
provements are made to them, and thinks
electric lights for the buildings and
grounds are desirable in case they can
be obtained at an expense that will not
prove burdensome to the tax payers of
the county. Steam heat should ¢ome
first in his estimation. | In regard tothe
county jail he says it is one of the safest
and best arranged prisops in the state,
but that it will never subseérve the pur-
pose for which it was intended until a
wall has been erected ‘around the prison.
“Prisoners,” he said, “must be entirely’
shut off from the outside world if they
are to be kept in safety. The mere sight

The date for the reunjon of Somerset County
Lutherans in the grove at Friedens has been
fixed for Thursday, September 1st. The date se-
Jected 1s sald to be more agreeable to the Cam-
bria ‘county Lutherans, who have been invited
to participate. It is confidently expected that
the attendance this year will be larger than at
any former county reunion of members of that
denomination. Elaborate arrangements are be-
ing made for the entertainment of the crowd.

at Springfield, Ohio, and Hon. G, W. Wellington,

Postmaster Keller has received notice
that he, us County-seat postmaster, will
be expected to visit every postoffice in
Somerset county between now and De-
cember 1st. Last vear these visitations
were made and resulted in so. much good
to the postal service that it has been de-
cided by the anthorities to repent them
this year. The visits are in no sense an
inspection, but the postmaster at each
connty-seat is expected to visit and con-
fer with everv postmaster in the county.
‘The result of his observations and the
suggestions made by the several post-
masters will then be reported to the post-
al officials. Postmaster Keller will start
on his tour shortly and, as he has 95
postoffices to visit, his time will be pretty
well occupied for some weeks. —Standard.
Somerset is justly noted for the large
number of aged people who reside with-
in its borders, but the oldest by odds is
Mrs. Frederick Mains, who celebrated
ber 110th birthdav last spring. The aged
lady is in full possession of all her facul-
ties and is enjoying a vigorous old age in
peace and quiet, She is the mother of
nine children, all of whom areliving, one
of her daughters being the wife of Cap:
tain Adam Grimm, formerly Treasurer of
this county, of Stoystown. Her husband
died about twelve years ago at the age of
98. It might he well to mention that the
aged lady is a resident of Somerset, Perry
county, Obio.—Standard.

Palmer and Riley Camplin, two promi-
nent Democrats, last week resigned from
the Cortland Democratic Club and came
out for Harrison.
In a letter of explanation Mr. Palmer
says that Cleveland's letter on the ‘‘Force”
bill, which is not an issue, is a cowardly
evasion of the truth, and he has been re-
luctantly convinced by Mr. Cleveland's
own actions of his ‘‘truculency and his
dishonesty and insincerety on the ques-
tion of the tariff.”
