When council met last Tbarsday night for tlie purpose of taking ual ac tion on the ordinance introduced by Councilman Ogle, by which it was proped to give Mr.

and bis unknown associates a franchise of certain streets for the purpose named. Mr. Ogle was granted permission to withdraw the proposed ordinance. Mr. Ogle assigned as a reason for withdrawing the ord.

nance th fact that Mr. Scott had learned that he would be unable to construct an electric street railway at this time owicg to the tremendous advano in the price of ail materials which be necesiary fjr the construction of the road. While the II eb alii has no disposition question the statement made by CouaciiintJ Ojle, it is none the less satisfixl tht the protests by ihe citizens of Somerset giving a ay vaiusble public franchises without lenumeralioa had tvtnflbing with the withdrawal of the ordinauca. At ail events it gives us plea ure to note that the matter has been disposed of. The unanimous nomination of William H.

Welfley for the position of burgess a compliment without parallel in ths history of local politics, as it is believed to be without parallel in the history of municipal government in the State. It was Mr. Wellley's seventeenth, nomination by the Kepubli jan voters of the borough, and upon the completion of his three years' term of service as burgess, to which he will surely be elected, he will have served as the chief executive officer of the town for a period of twenty-one years. In addition to serving so long a time as burgass, Mr. Wellley is now rounding out a three years' period of service as a member of town council We believe that we voice the sentimants of a majority of the people of Somerset when we say that tbey fully appreciate the un-selash sacrifice Mr.

Weldey has made in the public interests. They have found him to be exsctingiy ast and fiir in all of hisoili-ial daties, he has safe guarded the best interests of the borough where others would probably have proved negligent, and in all that he has be has been guided by t-ie highest motives.

Exceptions were also taken to the charge of the Court, counsel for Sheets' arguing that under the charge the ury were instructed that they mnst return either a verdict of of murder of the rst degree or acq it. hereas the act of Assembly under which the indictment was drawn makes it the duty of thejur to determine th dgre alter hearing wil the evidence.

(Delayed iu transmission.) The Regular Republicans under the leadership of Ooro Scott fought a decisive battle with the Insurgent forces of Somerset boruugh this afternoon and succeeded in capturing and holding two important kopjes, from which they can shell tbe Insurgent entrenchments in tbe surrounding country. The battle lasted from 1 p. m. to 7 p. and was stubbornly fought on both sides.

Berkey Kop was captured early in tbe engagement, while Barron Kop was only taken, after a stubborn resistance, about four o'clock in tbe afternoon. By 7 o'clock the Insurgents acre driven from, the field and in a badly demoralized condition were it? full retreat across tbe veldt in the direction of Coxe's Creek, where they will likely entrench on the west side of the stream. A large number of Insurgent prisoners were taken. Oom Soott in person brought a number into our camp, the most notable among them leing two Vryheid burghers. Burgher Bethel and Burgher Xichol.

The Regular troops magnificently maintained tbe best traditions of their organization throughout tbe trying day. iom Scctt feels confident that the Regulars will capture tbe whole Insurgent outfit in tbe next engagement, which is liable to take place on thirty days' notice. JOUBERT. JaeoS Zimntrmii. Jacob Zimmerman, a venerable and much respected citizen of the vicinity cf Stoyeetowc, died at his home Monday nigbt of last week, after aa illnen which had extended through several years, though he had been confined to fci bed for only a few days.

A complication of diseases caused his death, which was hastened, however, by an unfortunate mistake he made some time since iu drinking ammonia for medicine, the bottles containing the two liquids being similar. Mr. Zimmerman was in his seventy-sixth year and had lived all bis life in this county having resided for forty-eight years on the farm where he died. He is survived by his wife, maiden name was Knupp, and by nine of tbe eleven children born to thetn Herman, of Stoyeatown, and Mr. Frank Wingard and Mrs.

Tbe funeral took place Wednesday worn-log a' 10 o'clock. Services were conducted bysRev.

Insurgent Candidates Tor School Di rector Turned Down lj a Big Majority. HOTABLX STALWART TICT3ET.

It did not require the gift of prophecy to foretell tbe result of introducing fac tional politics into tbe public schools of this county. Tbe storm that had been brewing for several years past in and round Somerset reached Its climax Saturday when Jo ass M. Cook and Dr. U.S. KiinmelL two our moat eminent and popular citizen were defeated by Har vey M.

Berkley and Robert R. Roberts, likewise eminent and popular citizen, for the office of school director. Tbe msjor- ity for Berkley and Roberts is a most nattering recognition of their position in tbe community. A similar result was accomplished by the Republican voters of Somerset town ship at their primary held the preceding Saturday when two school directors who have been swayed by factional feeling In their official duties were supplanted by Stalwart Republicans. For a number of years past the Insurgents have bad full control of the school affairs in both of the districts mentioned.

and that their management has not met with popular approval bas now been so emphatically emphasized that none will gainsay the meaning of the primaries just held. The result of the primaries in Somerset township and Somerset borough, as we interpret it, is a significant warning from a majority of the Republican voter of the two districts that tbey are unwilling to submit longer to tbe practice that bas obtained of selecting teachers solely on account of their political alliances, and regardless of their mental endowments and scholastic attainments. It is fair notice that the applications of refined, cultured and well qualified teachers shall have proper consideration. It is fair notice that efficient and satisfactory teachers shall not be displaced because tbey unable to control votes. It is fair notice that minor positions, such as school-jsni-torship, shall not be bartered away for political purposes, but that faithful and competent servant shall be rewarded.

It is fair notice that certif.oites shall not be issued to disqualified teachers for political purposes, and it is fair notice that the people are tnorougly aroused to their interests and tbe interests of their children and mean to make an earnest effort to restore onr schools to ths elevated level from which tbey have been systematically declining during tbe past few years. While tbe result of tbe primaries must be regarded as a victory in tbe cause of good schools and pure politics, it is none the less a pronounced triumph for Stalwart Republicanism, and a stern chastisement of tbe Insurgent, or disorganizing element of tbe party. The Insurgents held numerous caucuses during the week preceding the borough primary, at which various would-be leaders asserted that tbis and that candidate could not be defeated that or their popularity would win a great majority of the votes of their fellow citizens. Committeea were appointed to wait upon a number of prominent citizens for tbe purpose of assuring them that if they would permit tbe nse of their names as candidates tbe success of tbe Insurgent slate would be insured in advance. Those who were approached iu this way had doubtless heard the many expressions of condemnation evoked by recent actions of the school board and town council, and it may be tbey were fearful of trying tbeir sprintiug abilities against the Stalwart candidates for councilman.

Stturday afternoon it was asserted ibf the Insurgents had decided not to put up candidates for burgess and councilcieii in order that tbey might concentrate all of tbeir strength on their candidate fot school director, and, judging from the great variance between the votes received by Messrs. Cook ami KItnmell, it is quite evident that such an effort was made. The battle between tbe contending factions was one of the most spirited witnessed herein recent years. Citizens who, as a rale, heretofore refrained from taking part in contests for municipal dices, hustled from tbe time tbe polls opened at 1 o'clcck until tbey closed at 7 o'clock in the evening. They worked not only for a change in tbe management of our public schools, and against presenting franchises of our streets to unknown promoters of street railway enterprises, but for majority rule, and their efforts were suc-cass'uL The contest for street commissioner and tax collector was of friendly character.

Dickey, one of tbe county's well-known and most highly respected citizens, died very suddenly iu his home near Hay's Mill, Wednesday evening, a little after o'clock. Death was due to heart trouble. About o'clock he had eaten a hearty supper. Fifteen minutes afterward be was a corpse. Deceased had been troubled with a heart affection for a number of yeirs, and of late had been complaining somewhat, but there were no indications of serious illness.

Tbe subject of this sketch stood high in tbe estimation of all who knew hiin. His occupation was that of a farmer and be lived in tbe vicinity of Berlin all his life, except during the period when he served in the civil war. Mr. Dickey entered the military service in lii and served till the close of tbe war, period ot nearly three years. He was a member of Company 142nd Regiment Pennsylvania volunteers.

At the battle of Gettysburg be with other members of his regiment were captured and taken to Belle where tbey were confined until tbey were exebanged three months aiterward. Mr. Dickey was a brother of Associate Judge Aaron F. Dickey, and served, himself, a term as Poor House Director. He was a prominent member of the L'ltberan church, belonging to tbe Pine- Hill congregation.

Mr. Dickey wa married to Mis Melissa Hay. who survive him. He is also survived by two children, William, at home, and Charles living nearby, and by his aged father who lived with him. Deceased was aged somewhat over 61 year.

Tbe fuueral will take place from the home to ths Hay cemetery tbis afternoon at 3 o'clock. Berlin Record of Fri-dav last. Americas Harses far ths Transvaal. Many horses, ultimately designs 1 for nse by tbe Eaglish Government iu tbe Transvaal, are being bought just now in Kansas City. Osing to the demand at present tbe (apply of horse in England is becoming low, and so Englishmen are In Kansas City buying and shipping to England for the purpose or (applying the demands there.

Tbe result is that there is an advance in tbe price of horses suitable for government purposes. It is estimated that tbe English Government has already bought two thousand horses on account of tbe South African War Tbis does not seem a large number, tint it should be remembered that it is difficult to find a perfect horse. It is stated that inspection for our own cavalry rejects ten bones to choosing one considered op to tbe standard.

A man who raises vegetables, fruits or grain on a farm and sells tbe wut would be exempt from tax, but if he buys any of these things aud sells tbeiu agin be is liable Ut pay the tax. Any person who buys raw material and manufactures it luto something else is exempt, but merely cutting it up into parcel to suit customers is not manufacturing. A butcher who buys a carcass of beef, cut it up and soil it, is liable to pay the Ui, and so if it is pork in which he is dealing, but if he makes the animals into bologna, sausage or pudding, be must pay tbe tax.

5 Cexits a Bottle. DotTt Acc'pt futaututm. Ahont Fences. A correspondent recently tasked tbe Bellefonte Watchman, from which journal the following is taken, "if a person can be compelled to put np a fence along a public road, and if tbe law require tbe building and maintenance of line fences" and also that it "publish the law 'elating to fences passed by the last Legislature." Tbe editor complies as follows In order that our correspondent may be bis own judge in the matter as to tbe necessity of fencing we give in connection herewith all general legislation relating to this subjsct that has been enacted into Uw since Prior to that time tbe general fence law of lS7 was in force. It required that "all grounds kept fo- enclosure within the province shali be well fenced with fence at least five feet high of sufficient rail or log and close at the bottom." During Governor Beaver's term of office he signed an act repealing tbe lt section of tbe act of l.TioT, which required fences to be erected aud designated what should constitute a lawful fence.

Tbal repealing act was aa follows: That so much of an act. entitled "An act for the regulating and maintaining or f--nces," passed Anno Ismiini one thousand eight hundred ami seven, and reads as follows, namely "For preventing all disputes and differences mat may arise through the neglect or lnsutliciem-y of ten ces in this province, aud counties annexed, te it enacted. That ail cornfields and grounds kept lor inciosures, within tbe said province and counties annexed, shall be well leuced. witb letice at least Dve teet high, of sufficient rail or logs, and close at tbe bottom; and whosoever, not having tbeir grounds inclosed with such sufficient fence as atore-aid, shall hurt, kill or do damage to auy corse, kine. sheep, hos or g'stts, of any other persons, by bunting or driving thm out of or from tbe said grounds, sua! I liable to make good all damages sustained thereby to tbe owner of tne said cattle.

Provided, That all sort of swin going at large, coutrary to Ibe intent ot an act mads and passed at Ibis present session, entitled "An for of swiue from running at large," shall not fail nor tss deemed itbin tne construction of tbis act. But if any horse, kins, sbeep, hogs or goats, or any kind of cattle, shall break Into any nun's inclosure, tbe fence of te aforesaid height and utliciency. and by tbe view of two persons, tor thsl purpose sppointed by the county court, found and approved to besucD, then the owner of such cattle shall be lial.ie to make good all damages to the owner of the euciosure, for Ite first offense single damages only, and ever after double tne damages sustained. And all persons baying unruly horses, mares or cattle, ibat are not to be kept off by such feoces as aforesaid, are ordered, and shall benbiig-ed. to take effectual care to restrain tbe same fioiu trespassing on their neigb bors' in lesures," being tbe first section of tbe said act be, and the same is hereby repealed.

Tbis virtually did away with all legal fencing wilbiu the Stale, except in coo titles having local fence laws, by repealing the section fixing wbat kind of a structure should be erected and maintained as fence, in l-rr an act was signed by Gov. Hastings, and which reads as follows: Tha' in all cases where any of tbe public highways within this Commonwealth are so located as to rentier them liable, on --countof high wind durii.g the winter season, to be so filled witli ow as to cause Ibem to be impassabie. snd where, in tbe judgments of ibe supervisors ot roads or tbe several townships in which such public highways are situated, such drifts of suow can be avoided by the removal of auy board rail or other fnce that may lie erected along either side of sucb public highways and replacing the same by a fence constnn-tst of posis. wire and boards, or rail combined, it may be lawful for such supervisors to agree with tbe owner of such tence upon a plan for the erection of a fence constructed of posts, wire and boards, or rail combined. Audit may be lawful for supervisors to pay the owners of such fenis-s a sum not to exc ed the first cost of trie wire used in the snst ruction of such fences: Provided.

Tbal tbe wireusedin lbs construi-tion of such ten-es stitil without barbs: ProviJeii.Tb.it this act shail not apply to any stonewall, hedge or ornamental fence that is now or may be hereafter conslrncted. Tbe ai-t which Governor Stone signed in May, 1 is as follows; That it shall and hereby declared to be lawful for any land owner within tbis Commonwealth to construct, build and msinlain. along any of the highways of this Common wealth, fences ma.le in hols or in part of wire ithout barbs, sutject at all times to such restrictions and prohibitions as may be imposed by tbe municipal authorities relative tuere-lo. A fence, in in part of wire, without tstrbs, is hereby declared to be a legal and lawful fence within the meaning and provision of anv act of the Legis-I mure of this State relative to tbe (Minding. constrtKting and maintaining of linn feuces.

provided that such wire fence shall be of the height required by such act or act. All statutes incnn-isteiit herewith be and the same hereby are repealed.
