ANTS ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
O SUPPLY THE COURT HOUSE, THE
JAIL AND THE HOME.
e Makes a Few Inquiries and Shows
How Considerable Money Could be
Saved by Furnishing- all Three Insti-tutions
From one Plant whose Loca-tion
Should be at the Home Where
There Is an Abundance of Coal Al-ready
Developed.
Poor Director Herman Hamel, of
jaurelville, would like to have an elee-ric
light plant erected at the County
Tome to supply not only that institution
but the proposed new court house and
ail. In the course of a communication
te says:
'At one of the first meetings of our
oard in January last the matter of
ight, was considered as our contract
ith the electric light people had ex
lired. We wanted to renew it at the
Id flat rate of $24 a month. We were
nformed by the company that we could
ot do so but were told to go ahead and
e would be charged no more than for-merly.
We did so, that being all we
jould do. Later in the month, however,
meter was put in and the two repre
entatives of the company who called
n ns the next month and informed us
hat we would have to use a meter ftg-ired
our February bill at $54, laughing
-hen we talked of putting in a light
lant of our own.
“I afterwards thought further of the
after and came to the conclusion that
t might be a good plan to install a plant
or the home, and also to furnish light
“or the court house and jail. One of
y principal reasons for erecting the
lant at the home is that we have about
>5 acres of coal which is mined from a
rift bank and hauled direct from the
it mouth on a pit wagon and track not
ore than two hundred yards directly
o the boiler house. Another reason is
his: the boiler house is in a bad shape
nd will have to be rebuilt before long;
nd while that is being done there could
e provisions made to build it snffi-iently
large to place the electric ma
hinery therein. Another reason is that
e already have an engineer who at-nds
to the boilers which heat the
ounty Home by steam and who would,
y a little additional help, be able likely
o run both.
“Having laid the matter before the
oard at its meeting on March 7th and
onnd that my fellow members favored
be idea, I then went to the court house
o see what electric light bills had been
id for the month of February and
ound them as follows: Jail residence,
14 73; jail proper. $55 16; court house,
118.44; arc lightinfront of court house.
0.25. Add to this the $54 at the meter
ate at the home and we have a total of
243 58.
“Should there not be a plant installed,
be taxpayers of Westmoreland county
ill likely at some future time, after
he new court house shall have been
uilt and elevators and electric light
laced therein, find out what the cost of
t will be. Should there be a plant to-talled
they will not be able to tell what
it might have been, and 1 for one will
satisfied never to gain that informa-ion.
“The majority of the commissioners
ooked upon my proposition with favor
nd agreed to meet with the board Fri
ay afternoon last when I had arranged
ith an agent for an electric supply
ouse to be present and give us an esti-ate
on the probable cost of a plant of
nr own. The commissioners, however,
bout, 2 o'clock that afternoon telephon
that they were too busy to come
own. An hour later the electric light
fficials telephoned us, asking that we
rop the matteras they would feel badly
■f they lost the court house and jail, and
n return they would make arrange
ents satisfactory to all concerned,
ven the electrical supply agent failed
show up.
"I am unable to say who told the
ight people what was going on, nor
n I explain the agent’s failure to ma-rialize
after the manner of his brother
lesmen ; but, I would like to hear from
me of our good citizens and taxpayers
f the county on this subject.”

TWO ITALIANS EIGHT TO THE DEATH
When Stabbed in Defense of His Brother's Honor. Aojanio Galitir
Fills John Deltuffi Full of Lead With the
Latter's Revolver.
DELTIFEI DEAD AND GALITIR IN THE HOSPITAL.
Two Italians fought to the death in a little room in a boarding house at
the corner of South Diamond and Spruce streets shortly before noon Sunday
last. It seems that John Deltutii, one of the boarders, who had a wife in
Italy, boasted of his intimacy with Mrs. Galitir whose husband keeps the
place and who, it is said, was about to apply for a divorce on that ground. A
brother of the injured master, Aojanio Galitir, wanted Deltuffi to leave and
for that purpose went unarmed to the latter’s room. Deltuffi not only refused
to depart but attacked Galitir with a big butcher knife in one hand and a re-volver
in the other.
The first vicious stab drove the knife into Galitir’s right shoulder until
the point pierced the lung, but the wounded man was still gble to grab the
revolver from his assailant’s other hand and then with deadly aim he drove
five bullets into Deltufti’s body, two in the neck, two in the lower part of his
body and one right through the heart, producing almost instant death. Ga-litir
was taken to the hospital where, if unexpected complications do not arise,
his recovery is a mere matter of time.
The body of Deltuffi was removed to the Gibbs & King undertaking es-tablishment
where an inquest was held in the afternoon by Coroner Wynn
who was accompanied by District Attorney Cunningham. The verdict was
that Galitir acted in self defense.
A FUNNY CUSTOMER.
He GetH Gold Galore Out of a Common
Barkers’ Cup.
One day last week a smooth-faced,
middle aged man dropped quietly into
Charles Shields’ barber shop in the base
ment of the Braddock block and was
shaved by the proprietor’s right hand
man, “Mac.” After his hirsute growth
had been removed and the fringe of hair
remaining neatly brushed the customer
got out of the chair and, without saying
a word, reached up and removed a cup
from the case, examined it closely and
deliberately poured a handful of five
dollar gold pieces from it. Then be re-placed
the cup, pocketed the shining
wealth and departed.
Charley and "Mac,” who witnessed
the operation of the little mint bnt were
too much surprised to say anything
until the man was out of sight, are said
to have at once got busy examining all
the cups in the shop. But they found
no more gold. The customer was Kellar.
the magician.
Rejected Suitor Suicides.
Charley Silbeck, a dishwasher at the
reensburg hospital, committed suicide
early Tuesday morning by hanging
himself to a steam pipe in the basement
of that institution because of unrequited
ove for a Polish dining room girl. He
aged about 85 years.

The Herwiek mine inquest ended Sat-urday
when the coroner's jury found a
verdict censuring the dead Foreman
Brown and Fire Boss Gordon for negli-gence
and recommending that Inspector
Cunningham and Superintendent Sow-den
be held on a charge of murder. The
last two officials were arrested and
bound over to court in Allegheny
county. The superintendent gave bail
in the sum of $10,000 and the inspector
$15,000.
While being tried Friday for violating
the mining laws by lighting a pipe in
the Atlas mine of the Cambria Steel
Company August Schell, of Dunbar,
made a statement that many men did
the isame thing. He also stated that
there was a general disregard of rules,
and that he had not been aware of any
infraction. Mine Inspector Calligan,
the prosecutor, had Schell's sentence
suspended until he could make an in
vestigation.
Fire last Thursday morning destroyed
the Clyde Coal Company’s supply store
at Fredericktown, near Brownsville, and
wrecked the postoffice in the same
building. The financial loss is about
$18,000 on stock and $3,000 on the build-ing.
Four cases of powder and dyna-mite
were all that was saved from the
store. Two sons of Manager A. Grif-fith,
of the Clyde store, saved their lives
by jumping from a second story win-dow.
The mail was secured.
SECULAR PRESS
MOST KINDLY
REMEMBERED
By the Excommunicated Ger-man
Baptist Brethren.
THEIR CHURCH PAPER MUZZLED
AND REFUSES TO ENTERTAIN THEIR
PLEAS FOR FAIR PLAY.
SIX INNOCENT PEOPLE CREMATED AT GARRETT.
The Entire Family of Jerry Myers Perish by the Burning of their
Home Following a Riot Between Non-Union and
Striking Coal Miners.
The long and bitter coal strike situation in the Meyersdale district culmi-nated
Monday night in a pitched battle at Garrett between stockaded work-men
and operators’ deputies on one side of Buffalo creek and striking miners
and their sympathizers on the other. This resulted in over 1,000 shots being
exchanged. No deaths, but many injuries resulted. At four o’clock the next
morning the house of Jerry Myers was burned IO the ground, and six mem'
bers of his family were cremated. Two Italians, Quianci Francesco anc
Thomas Pusse, are under arrest for the alleged arson and murder.
When investigation was made later in the day six charred bodies were
taken from the ruins. The bodies were not recognizable, but were identified
by Jerry Myers as those of his wife Rose, aged 50; his daughter Lucinda,
aged 24; a son, aged 10; a daughter Annie, aged 6, and two small daughters
of Lucinda Myers. Myers and a boarder, Jonas Sullivan, escaped with
slight burns.
When Sheriff Coleman was apprised of the reign of terror he at first said
he could do nothing until the costs were arranged for. Burgess Moust saic
the town wasn’t able to pay and the officials of the Garrett Coal Company
refused to stand good. The sheriff, however, responded Tuesday afternoon
when the Somerset county commissioners finally ordered him to go. On
arriving at the scene he swore in 15 deputies who were armed and are now on
guard. The situation is still critical, although Sheriff Coleman hopes to avert
another disastrous conflict.

An Interesting Communication Sent
by Jerry B. Myers, of This Flaoe,
With Stamps Enclosed for Return, is
Pigeon Holed or Waste Basketed,
hut the Copy Kept is Herewith Sub-mitted
and Shows That the Writer
Talks Right Out Even If he Is Not in
Meetin’.
Some four weeks ago Jerry B. Myers,
of this place, one of the excommunica-ted
members of the Jacobs Creek Ger-man
Baptist chnrch, sent a communica-tion
in care of the office editor, J. H.
Moore, to Elgin, Illinois, to be published
in the “Gospel Messenger,” the official
organ of that denomination. Stamps
were enclosed with a request to return
the letter in case its publication wag re-fused.
It was neither published nor
sent back. However, this copy was
kept and speaks for itself :
In the editorial columns of the “Gos-pel
Messenger” of February 27th, page
136, reference is made to the troubled
condition of the churches of Western
Pennsylvania which have been visited
bv the Conference or Annual Meeting
visiting committee. We regret very
much that these unnecessary tronblea
and gross abuses of the religion of our
fathers sbonld be at all. They are ex-tremely
disastrous to the prosperity and
growth of the churches and the cause of
Christianity. We deplore, too, the in-discreet
methods pursued by the confer-ence
committee in bringing about such
uncalled for and hnrtfnl conditions, and
their persistence to dragging them
along;—before the public, too, at that.
—mnch to the injury of the Brethren
chnrch and the cause of Christianity in
general. Therefore, we should be ex-tremely
carefnl, indeed very cantiona,
in attempting to criticise the secular
press by accusing it with misrepresent-ing
the churches in Pennsylvania, the
Standing Committee, the Conference
Committee and the General Assembly
itself.
We know whereof we apeak, living as
we do in the midst of these scenes of
trouble, and do not hesitate to affirm all
the facts as set forth in the different
publications. They are not overdrawn
nor do they misrepresent the proceed-ings
and actions of the Conference Com -
mittee. In fact, there is mnch room for
further publicity.
There was no necessity in dragging
the General Conference or the Standing
Committee into the affair, for nothing
was said casting any reflection on either
of the bodies. The articles published in
the Mount Pleasant JOURNAL January
loth, from which other newspapers lib
erally and judiciously copied and found
material for comment, and for which
information members all over Pennsyl-vania
and the whole Brotherhood are
apparently very grateful, was based
solely on the decree or “Bond of Order”
made by the Conference or Visiting
Committee. It was printed verbatnm
and speaks for itself. It has never been
submitted to the Standing Committee
or the General Conference for approval.
The authority for the statement of the
misuse of money appropriated to the
Missionary fund for missionary purposes
is based on an itimized statement from
the secretary and treasurer of that de-partment
of the chnrch, and also from
the foreman of the Visiting Committee
himself. Missionary money, it must be
remembered, is gathered from various
sources and not altogether from mem-bers
of the Brethren church. Therefore,
the public, as well as the members, has
a right to know that it is used for the
purpose intended by the contributors.
The doctrine and polity of the church
need not—should not—be held in se-crecy,
nor her gospel principles kept
from the public; nor should her own
official organ be muzzled. The policy ef
press censorship is responsible for many
existing evils, religiously as well as
politically, and cannot hold to this en-lightened
age.
The arising ot church troubles could
all have been avoided by a Utile bit of
judicious wisdom on the part of the
Visiting Committee and their adherents.
The number of members oppressed or
cast off without charge or hearing is not
overestimated. Wherein lie the misrep-resentations
that the “Messenger”
charges the pressjwith making? Let the
editor point them ont before he calls
upon the Brethren to place no reliance

GATLINQ GUN
ON GROUND.
The Merchant Coal Company Has One of
These Ugly Weapons to Protect Its
Boswell Property.
THE STRIKERS CONTINUE TO MAKE TROUBLE
The much-talked-of Gatling gun that the Merchants Coal Company, of
Johnstown, will use in protecting its property at Boswell in Somerset county
has been placed in position at the tipple and will be put in practical use as a
weapon of defense as soon as the new searchlight is installed in a tower upon
which work is progressing.
Deputy Sheriff Begley, of Somerset, says the installation of the Gatling
gun has become a necessity, the attacks at night upon the guards at the place
continuing. Without the aid of the searchlight the gun would be of little or
no use. The light is designed to penetrate a distance of five miles. Notwith-standing
the fact that the majority of the striking miners went back to work
several days ago, the officers frequently have trouble with the strikers, and the
searchlight and Gatling gun methods have finally been decided upon as the
most effective for defensive purposes.
The Arizona Kicker
Editor Uellsa Meets With a. Misfortune,
Owinjj to a Dispute With
Colonel Thompson. 1%IIE writer of this editorial is
not tlie editor of the Arizona
Kicker.
He is the horse editor of the
Kicker on a salary of 812 per week,
witli bullet holes thrown in.
Uis style is somewhat jerky. This
Is because he tins to jerk out a gnu so
often.
Jim I id iso, the editor and owner, is
lying in bed with a bullet in his shoul-der,
and it falls to the lot of the horse
editor to write the particulars of a
lamentable occurrence.
Mr. Heliso desires us to observe at
an early stage that three months ago,
when his fourteenth victim was laid
away in the Kicker editorial graveyard,
there was every hope that no further
shooting would have to he done for
years.
Despite this hope, a fifteenth has
fallen.
The horse editor could ring in sev-eral
Scriptural quotations at tins junc-ture
to point a moral, but the small-ness
of his salary forbids extra exer-tion.
The name of the fifteenth man was
Colonel Thompson, late owner of Cray
Wolf ranch and a person widely
known in this section of Arizona as an
impulsive, hot tempered mail. On four
different occasions lie pulled a gun on
the writer of this, and his record was
that of a shooter.
In addition to knowing the cattle
business from A to Z the colonel was
a man of considerable education and a
student of history. It is believed that
he had a history of America about
ready for t lie press when the misfor-tune
occurred.
Some five years ago the Kicker pub
lished an nrtlcle in which Nero was
not mentioned in the most flattering
terms. Colonel Thompson at once took
exception to the article, claiming that
Nero was a man of shining character
who had been maliciously vilified. The
paper apologized in its next issue, but
the incident rankled in the colonel’s
mind.
There was another scene. The Kick
er had published a brief article about
Cain, who is popularly supposed to
have killed his brother Abel. Accord-ing
to Colonel Thompson, it was a ma
licious slander on Cain, and lie didn’t
propose to stand by and see a good
man’s memory smirched. After some
discussion, in which pistols were
drawn, the Kicker agreed to apologize,
and its next issue contained the fol
lowing:
An Apology.—In the hurry of going to
press last week we Inadvertently admitted
an article reflecting on the character of
Cain of Biblical memory. We exceedingly
regret that the Kicker should have given
circulation to the report that Cain killed
his brother Abel and trust that neither of
them will suffer any inconvenience from
the publication.
The apology did not entirely satisfy
Colonel Thompson, but he had to make ,
the best of it and wait for another op
portunity.
That opportunity came last Wednes-day.
On that day the Kicker pub-lished
an article that Diogenes, the
philosopher, didn’t pay his debts. Two
hours after the paper was mailed Colo-nel
Thompson came storming in to
claim that he was a direct descendant
of Diogenes, and that the article was a
gross slander.
The horse editor was in the editorial
sanctum to borrow $2 and saw and
heard everything.
Mr. Heliso expressed regret that he
had injured the reputation of anybody
and promised that the usual apology
should appear the next week. He add-ed,
however, his desire to secure a list
of Biblical and historical things object-ed
to by the colonel in order to prevent
future mistakes, and the colonel didn't
take it as a Joke.
On the contrary, he emphatically de-nounced
Mr. Heliso as a slanderer of
the dead and a man who ought to have
been brought to book long ugo. Sever-al
remarks were made in an effort to
soften him, but he would not accept the
olive branch. He was about to leuve
the office when he was asked if the
Kicker could publish anything abonl
,iounn and the whale without being
forced to apologize for it.
Tlie remark was made in the greatest
good nature and was accompanied by
a laugh, but Colonel Thompson uttered
an oath and pulled a gun and begun
shooting.
The horse editor at once lay flat
down on the floor. The horse editor, it
may be remarked, knows his gait.
Colonel Thompson had fired three
shots before Mr. Iiellso reached for his
gun and replied. Indeed, he was al
ready wounded. At his first fire the
colonel fell, and he never spoke again.
The horse editor notified the police
and the coroner and got a dray to take
Mr. Heliso to the hospital. The coro
ner’s inquest held that same evening
acquitted the editor of any blame what-ever.
In rendering their verdict the jury
added, “We also find that the man
[horse editor] who lay down is a good
deal of a lilac.”
Colonel Thompson was buried in the
editorial graveyard yesterday in as
pood shape as possible, and Mr. Heliso
deeply regretted his inability to be
present. Tlie horse editor had full
charge of things.
Mr. Heliso desires it to be under
stood that lie deeply deplores the mis
fortune that lias come so early in tin
new year, but the affair was forcei
upon him, and lie len.il to shoot in sel:
defense. The sympathy of tlie publi
is with him. and tlie doctors predie
that lie will be able to leave Uis bei
and resume business at the end of a
week. Meanwhile the horse editor ami
two guns will try to hold ihings level.

Summer Clothes.
You won’t find anything in
clothes more snappy and attract-ive
than this Hart, Schaffner &
Marx single breasted outing
Varsity.
This is particularly a young
man’s style, but if you like the
looks of it on you we won’t ask
how old you are; any man who
likes these clothes is entitled to
wear them as soon as he pays the
price.
It’s an astonishingly easy price
to pay when you consider how
very good the clothes are.

Difference Explained
Why Somo Store* Are Crowded
And Others Are Not
Even the casual observer who walks
through the retail districts of New
York during the holiday season can
scarcely fail to be impressed with the
almost phenomenal difference in the
amount of business done in tlie various
stores. He will notice that one store
seems to be constantly crowded with
customers, that the salespeople are
working to the limit of their endur-ance
and that the delivery wagons are
kept busy night and flay distributing
the goods sold. In another store In the
same block, perhaps next door, lie will
observe that there is practically “noth-ing
doing.” This store is quite as at
tractive as the other, it handles the
same lines and qualities of goods, ami
perhaps they come from the same man
ufactories. The prices are equally low,
and tlie clerks are courteous and atten-tive.
But there is u much smaller staff
of salespeople employed, und even dur-ing
the holiduy rush they are not kept
busy. Why is there such a remarkable
difference?
I have taken the trouble to investi-gate
the problem and have made care-ful
observations in a dozen or more
cases. I have invariably found that
the merchants who were doing the
business were good advertisers and thut
the ones who were apparently receiving
but little benefit from the holiday trade
made no use of printers’ ink.—Retailer

A Novel Introduction.
The Dr. Howard Company has en-
I tered into an arrangement with H. F.
Barkley’s drag store by which a special
introductory offer will be made of 25
cents on the 50 cent size of their cele-j
brated specific for the care of constipa-tion
and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a new discovery for
the cure of all diseases of the stomach
and bowels. It not only giveB quick
| relief ; it makes permanent cures.
So remarkably successful has Dr.
I Howard's specific been in curing consti-pation,
dyspepsia and all forms of liver
trouble that Mr. Barkley will return the
price paid in every case where it does
] not give relief.
The old fashioned idea of dosing with
I mineral waters, cathartic pills or harsh
purgatives will soon be a thing of the
past. The best physicians are prescrib-
| ing Dr. Howard’s specific, both because
it is so remarkable a medicine and on
account of the small dose that is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on the stomach, specks before the
j eyes, constipation and all forms of ms-
I laria and liver trouble are soon cured by
this scientific medicine. H. F. Barkley
I has been able to secure only a limited
supply, so everyone who wishes to be
cured of dyspepsia or constipation should
call on him at once or send him 25 cents
by mail, and get 60 doses of the best
medicine ever made, on this special half
price introductory offer which his per-sonal
guarantee to refund the money if
the specific does not cure.
Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no
opiates, and will not constipate like
nearly all other cough medicines. Re-fuse
substitutes. All dealers.

Good Spirits.
Good spirits don’t all come from Ken
tucky. Their main source is the liver—
and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy a bad
liver or the hundred and one ill effects it
produces. You can’t have good spirits
and a bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if you
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. \ on can
put your liver in fine condition by using
Green's August Flower—the greatest of
all medicines for the liaer and stomach
and a certain cure for dyspepsia or in-digestion.
It has been a favorite house-hold
remedy for over thirty-five years.
August Flower will make your liver
healthy and active and thus insure yon
a liberal supply of “good spirits.” Trial

HARD CHURCH LINES.
The German Baptist Church, judging
from the actions of its official organ,
“The Gospel Messenger,” published at
Elgin, Illinois, must be a very close cor
poration, run as it is on the narrow
lines of formalists. That muzzled pa-per’s
refusal to publish a communica-tion
sent by Mr. Jerry B. Myers, of this
place, one of the large majority of the
Jacobs Creek church who were recently
excommunicated because of the radical
ruling of the Visiting Committee, was
therefore to be expected. Still, it does
seem strange that Office Editor Moore,
while he either encourages this com-mittee
or is at all times ready to defend
itsactionB, would not return Mr. Myers’s
manuscript when the necessary stamps
were enclosed with a request so to do
As the manager of the only paper this
denomination has, Mr. Moore has been
most unfair to hundreds of his fellow
Brethren who, while they constitute a
large majority of the six churches in
this district, have been forced from
membership, despite faithfulness oroffi
cial standing, without a single charge
being made against them. Time and
again have they appealed to “The Gos
pel Messenger” for a hearing only to
have their petitions ignored. Is it any
wonder then that they tnrned to the
secular press in order that the public
might know how shameful had been
their treatment at the hands of their
late fellow worshippers? Even the
money they gave to the World Wide
Missionary Fund was used by the com-mittee
that drove them from the church.
These are certainly hard church lines
for these excommunicated people who.
as they wear coat collars just like mill-ions
of other good Christians, cannot be
represented at either the Distinct Con-ference
which will meet at JobDStown
next Wednesday or at the Annual Con-ference
that will be held at Carthage,
Missouri, a month or so later. Still, if
these bodies do not take some action
looking to their relief they will be com
polled to unite with other denomina
tions, with whose principles dresB has
nothing to do. In that event the respon
eibility for their loss to the German
Baptist Church must rest with Brother
Moore and those for whom he speaks, or
rather for whose sake he remains silent.
REWARD FOR HEROIC ACTIONS.
To recognize deeds of heroism and
uplift and relieve humanity, Andrew
Carnegie has just created a fund of
$5,000,000. The endowment is to le
known as “The Hero Fund” and it is
his first gift of an international charac
ter, as it will apply to all Anglo Saxon
North America. To administer the
fund a commission of 21 jurists, finan-ciers
and men of letters of Pittsburg has
been named by Mr. Carnegie, and it was
through this body, of which Thomas
Lynch has been made president, that
the first definite announcement of the
philanthropic scheme was made known.
The endowment is in the form of
$5,000,000 worth of first collaterial 5 per
cent, bonds of the United States Steel
Corporation and the income from them,
$250,000 annually, will be devoted to
the reward of North American civilians
who perform heroic actions. This is
rather rough on the American soldier,
but it must be remembered that the
Laird of Skibo has no use for war and is
privileged to spend his millions as he
pleases. There is also pleasure in the
thought that even some heroes and
heroines will receive something more
substantial than fast-fleeting glory.
THIS IS GOOD NEWS.
The Greensburg “Morning Review,”
in referring to Controller Brown’s ru-mored
coming out as an independent
candidate, as noted in these columns
last week, sayB that we can rest easy as
to any danger of Hon. John H. Brown
committing political suicide in the man-ner
and form suggested. The “friends”
referred to failed so utterly as prophets
when they forced Mr. Brown into the
race that his confidence in them as sooth-sayers
is very materially weakened.
The esteemed county seat contempo-rary
admits that John is dead, but, be-ing
unburied, is an exceedingly lively
corpse and will be heard from in the
future, after he shall have expiated his
mistakes of omission and commission.
Friend John has his faults, but the
bright Greensburg morning daily does
not think he would steal sheep, nor
would he act the part of Judas, or an
Arnold, to the party that has so long
honored him, notwithstanding these
same “friends” and his party’B political
enemies may so urge him to do.
The “Review,” indeed, goes farther
and predicts that the Grapeville states-man,
like Uriah, will be in the fore-front
of this fall’s battle of the ballots,
encouraging both Seanor and Hitch-man.
All of which is good news and
for which Brother Berry will please ac-cept
our heart felt thanks.
HARWICK MINE VERDICT.
The jury in the Harwick mine inquest
has returned a verdict in which it found
that the explosion had been caused by a
blow out shot, and it was set forth that
there had been insufficient ventilation
on account of the accumulation of ice at
the bottom of the shaft; that negligence
had been shown on the part of Mine
Foreman George Brown and Fire Boss
Joseph Gordon, among the 178 victims,
and that there had been violation of the
mining law by Mine Inspector F. W.
Cunniugham and the mine superintend-ent,
George Sowden. The Allegheny
Coal Company, the owner of the plant,
was censured and the holding of Cun-ningham
and Sowden for the Grand
Jury on the charge of murder was rec-ommended.
As the public had long before learned
of the cause, there is nothing surprising
about the verdict except the charge of
murder made against Mine Inspector
Cunningham and Superintendent Sow-den,
which can have no standing in
court. Ordinary common sense teaches
that neither of these officials could have
been guilty of any premeditation in the
terrible disaster.
THE Allegheny county license judges
are no respecters of persons, either. For
violations of the Brooks law they have
laid off the Pittsburg, Duquesne and
Lutz brewers from ten to fifteen days.
POOR DIRECTOR HAMEL’S idea re-garding
the installation of an electric
light plant at the County Home to sup
ply that institution as well as the jail
and the new county court house has a
deal of common sense about and has a
good start with the approval of both
judges. The Laurelville “Dutchman’s”
head is level.
THE way Tuesday’s Democratic state
convention at Harrisburg named Sam
uel Gustine Thompson, of Philadelphia,
for the Supreme Court and steered clear
of embarrassing resolutions endorsing
Judge Parker, of New York, as a presi-dential
candidate shows that Colonel
James M. Guffey knows a thing or two
about smooth bossing, too.

JAPAN AND HER WAR.
Young American Soldier Will Tell His
Story for the Dispatch From Mill
tary Point of View.
The most fascinating series of war
stories that has vet come to America of
the conflict of the Russian and the Jap
is that from Will Livington Comfort in
the Pittsburg Dispatch, which began
two weeks ago. Mr. Comfort is a
young writer who has already achieved
distinction in two wars, having served
with the United States troops in Puerto
Rico during 1898, and then spent three
years in the Philippines, where he wrote
some of the most thrilling war tales
that have been published since the days
of the Rebellion.
Mr. Comfort sees war from the stand-point
of the soldier, the man in the
ranks rather than the General. He will
follow the march of the forces of the
Mikado through Korea, and the descrip-tions
of the scenes during the actual
land fighting are looked forward to with
interest by those who have read bis
wonderful stories of the Philippine
struggle. Mr. Comfort will write from
the Far East exclusively for The Dis-patch.

CHAPTER II.
Miss Cordelia stared after the re
treating figure with something like dis-may
on her part. For a few moments
she seemed incapable of moving, of
thinking even, but at the sound of
steps on the gravel without she leaned
again toward the blind, only to sink
back with a low cry ns she saw Cor-nelia
piloting the not unwilling cnptniu
up the garden path. She was con-scious
of the scraping of chairs on the
porch, followed by the appearance of
lier sister momentarily at the parlor
door with an authoritative gesture. In
obedience to which she glided out to
meet the guest. Her bosom beat trem-ulnusJv.
A day ago—nay, that very morning—
she Would have met Captain Taylor
with an almost unruffled mien, but the
disclosures of the previous hour had
altered everything,
a limp hand and trembled at the
hearty pressure it received. A thou-sand
thoughts leaped into her mind.
She was glad she had selected blue
ribbons that afternoon. Blue was al-ways
becoming, and it was his favor-ite
color—a reminiscence of her girl-hood
stirred suddenly Into life. She
glanced down abashed, and her low-steact
in the shadow oT the honeysuckle
vines on the Slater porch, lie was a
man of simple affections, a trifle vain
and easily flattered, and lie was still
very lonely. Ills other neighbors, not
comprehending his need of companion-ship,
had left him alone with his sor-row,
and it was not likely that this
first cordial sympathy should meet
with analysis at his hands, lie was
delighted with the gracious reception
accorded him by the two sisters. No
auditors had ever listened to his elo-quence
with just that degree of appre-ciation
which the Slaters so plainly
evinced. He thought of them collec-tively,
which was rather a bad sign for
their individual Interests, and he liked
them both in Ids hearty fashion. He
had not yet fell called upon to Insti-tute
a preference.
Meanwhile the two women were
daily drifting farther apart. An un-known
element had crept into their
She put forward quiet existence, and they botli chafed
at the strife which had sprung up be-tween
them. With the key of the lar-der
in her possession Miss Cornelia
could afford to laugh at her rival's pre-tensions.
but there were other times
when the rival sang softly at the old
piano in a voice that was still sweet,
and such moments thrilled the stout
heart of the commissariat witli a dis-
THREE BOLD
ROBBERS.
"hey Batter in the Door of the Catholic
Parsonage at Vandergrift and Bind and
Gag Rev. Father Singer.
I ILL SOI $« W1S SECURED BYTREM,
Witli the part of a telegraph pole for a battering ram, three burglars
hammered down the door leading to the sleeping apartments of Rev. Father
Martin Singer, pastor of the Roman Catholic church at Vandergrift, the other
night. Before the priest, who was suddenly awakened, fully realized what
had happened, the intruders bound and gagged him with the bed covering.
Then each drew a revolver and commanded the rector to reveal the hiding
place of the congregation’s cash donation. He refused, but they found the
money, of which they secured #700.
While the men were ransacking the house, Father Singer managed to
rest the gag from his mouth and called for help. This caused the men to
leave.
ered oyos rested upon the soft curve I mny timt not even the pride In her own
of her forearm. She wondered if— 1 ringlets could quell. Of wlint avail
Iter sister's step sounded along tlie were ringlets when lier antagonist
ball, and Miss Cordelia sank shame- I Arranged her tresses in similar fashion
facedly luto the clmlr which the cap- | ami wi,ne the fair weather held curls
tain plnced for her, hugging her el- produced by artificial means looked the
bows desperately to hide both her
flesh and her confusion.
Miss Cornelia approached, carrying a
tray In her hands. She deprecated the
captain’s aid with a coquettish toss of
her curls, while Cordelia gazed aghast 1
at the festal preparations. The high
glass pitcher and the slender tumblers
grouped at its side were objects of veif-erntlon
in the Sinter household. The
astonished woman could not remember
the time when she bad not admired
their beauty. As a child her chubby
fingers bad followed the gold tracery
along the edge on some rare holiday,
while the caution. “Take care!” sound-ed
perpetually in her ears. She want-ed
to echo it now. What was Cornelia
thinking of? And, as If the shrub
were not sullicieut, it was flanked by
the old dish of lily root and gold, filled
with little glistening cukes.
The clever strategist, unheeding the
tumult she had awakened in one breast
at least, placed her burden upon a
table and poured out a glass of the
rosy liquid, motioning to her sister to
servo herself. The captain took the
proffered delicncy shyly and waited
until his hostess had possessed herself
of a similar glass. Then he raised his
to Ids lips, bowing to the two gentle-women.
He took a deep draft and put
down his empty glass with an appre-ciative
sigh.
“I’ve had a long and a hot walk this
afternoon, ma’am,” he said, half apolo-getically.
“Yes,” Miss Cornelia replied, droop-ing
her head commiseratingly; “I saw
you when you passed. Captain Taylor,
and I knew your sad errand. It is like
your good heart to be so faithful. Poor,
dear Eliza!”
“Poor, dear Eliza!” echoed Miss Cor-delia.
.
The captain blinked and looked off
at the nodding lilies in the garden.
,This little tribute of sympathy was
very welcome to his lonesome heart.
There was a short pause, during which
ho groped about mentally for some-thing
to say, but his embarrassment
could furnish nothing appropriate. He
moved awkwardly and brought his
great fist down upon his knee, where
he had spread his handkerchief. It
came in contact with the tiny cake
which he had taken from the dish a
few minutes before. lie picked it up
and inspected it half quizzically, as if
debating its real use. Then he put it
to his lips. The next moment he turn-ed
to his hostess.
"What d’you call ’em?” he demanded
brusquely.
"Crullers,” simpered Miss Cornelia.
“They’re made from an old last cen-tury
recipe that belonged to my grand-aunt.
I hope you find them good.”
“Your aunt was a glory to her sex,
ma’am!” Captain Taylor cried. “Find
’em good! I’m a blunt man, and I gen-erally
speak my mind, so you must ex-cuse
me when I say they’re deuced
good, and, with your permission, I’ll
have another.”
When he took his lenve In the gloam-ing
to return to his solitary home the
two sisters stood silently watching his
short, stout figure as it rolled along the
road. Miss Cornelia was the first to
speak.
“You ate three, Cordy,” she said as
she lifted the empty blue dish tender-ly.
“I kept count, and I had two. He
ate the rest.”
“They were very small,” Miss Cor-delia
urfced In quick defense of the
charge of gluttony thus brought against
the vanishing guest.
“They were very good,” retorted Miss
Cornelia, with a laugh.
The Ice thus broken, the captain fell
into the pleasant habit of calling very
frequently at the small stone house.
While Broadmeudows, If it thought of
him at all, imngined him spending bis
evenings in the shadow of bereavement
on his own veranda, he wus sitting in-sume
to masculine eyes as those pro-vided
by nature's hand?
It is no wonder that, with matters
at this stage, Miss Cornelia should feel
The captain took the proffered delicacy
the time bad arrived for more decisive
action, but she hud to rely upon her
own judgment since her sister was un-worthy
to be admitted into conference
August, too. was fast drawing to
close and the evenings were too damp
to sit on tin? porch. If the fo^ straight
ened Miss Cordelia’s locks the satisfac-tion
flic more fortunate Cornelia de
rived from that fact was speedily rout
ed by the unwelcome truth that
brought neuralgia in its train to her
own face, and she was never account
able for her temper when suffering
neurotic twinges.
Moved by these conclusions, she in
vited the captain to ten. He came
early and stayed late, and every min
ute seemed laden with joy, so far us
he was concerned. He had evidently
paid more attention to his appearance
than usual, for his garments fairly ra
dinted with their holiday mood, and
though the tie at his throat was still
discreetly black, his spirits could only
be expressed by the most brilliant col
ors. It was the high tide of success in
Miss Cornelia’s career. The night was
wet and oppressive, but her chair was
out of range of the open windows, and
perceiving this advantage over her rl
val, she was unremitting in her gayety
Miss Cordelia, however, felt strange
ly depressed. The fates were unques-tionably
against her, nor could she re-trieve
her laurels when, the meal over,
the captain escorted her to the piano
with old fashioned courtesy and stood
by to hear her sing. What little voice
she had deserted her treacherously, and
she croaked as hoarsely us any bird of
ill omen, whereat the captain retreated
to the backgammon board and chuc-kled
happily for an hour or so in com
pnny with the other sister.
But if the evening proved disastrous
for Miss Cordejin It was full of pleas
ure to three individuals—Miss Cornelia,
the captain, and last, though far from
least, the little maid who waited at ta
ble and who listened with delight to
the wonderful yarns spun by the guest
and almost disked herself on several
occasions with her apron behind her
mistress’ chair to keep from laughing
outright. Twenty-four hours later the
account, of the unusual festivities was
noised far and near, and Broadmead-ows
awoke to the fact that Captain
Jared Taylor’s period of mourning was
in an can amt tie was going oned more
into society. Thus had Miss Cornelia
overreached herself.
Sublimely unconscious of the com-ments
made by her neighbors, that
worthy woman pursued the line of con-duct
she had marked out for herself,
though for a time she was forced to be
idle. The neuralgia which she had
openly courted seized upon her the
morning after the little supper, and
for several days she was obliged to go
about with her face swathed in flan-nel
bandages and deny herself to all
visitors. The captain, calling in the
veiling, was received alone by Miss
Cordelia, and the victim writhing up-stairs
could hear the happy mingling
of talk and laughter, the tinkling of
the piano and her sister’s voice'in the
old songs. Blie buried lier head in the
pillows to deudpu the detestable sounds.
Never had Cordelia sung so well. But,
though Cornelia thus deafened herself,
she could readily picture the low, pret-ty
room, sweet with the breath of flow-ers
and unlighted save for the squat
andlcstick by Cordelia’s side, which
shed tlie brightness of its two wax
lights upon her. And the night was
fair and dry. There was no limpness
in tlie soft curls bobbing in time to
tlie music as the pretty arms moved up
ml down. Under such auspices Cor-delia
might be twenty and rosy cheek-ed
again. She lind still a trick, an un-becoming
trick surely at her age, of
blushing, l’oor Miss Cornelia sat up in
bed and groaned aloud.
But silo was not one to acknowledge
defeat. The next time the captain call-ed
she received him with imperturba-ble
demeanor. Notwithstanding tlie
pain which till beat furiously at her
temples mid darted hither and thither
in its different points of attack she
was seated on I lie porch in smiling
stoicism. Had I lie light been stronger
or tlie visitor more observant he must
have recognized tlie change which the
week's suffering laid wrought in his
hostess’ fuc*’. It looked old and white,
though the occasional sparkle in the
dull eyes bespoke a spirit unsubdued
by physical ills.
