It i the duty of the auditors to see that a report of their findings is published either by handbills or in the local newspapers.

John Cunningham, one of the beet-known young men about town, met with a serious accident last Thursday afternoon at bis father's lumber-yard oppo site the S. A station.

HTYLLJiZ GOES TO TEX "PX5" rOi TIM TZASS. -iwo oneeia, convicted of murder of "ie nrst detree at December court, wa Friday afternoon condemned to die on tbe gallows. Harry Weller. the acootnpliceof Sheets in the murder of Augustus Glessner, who was permitted by the Court Jo eater a plea of guilty of murder of tbe second degree, was sentenced to the penitentiary ftr a period of tea yean.

Tbe time of toe court was occupied op until fcur o'clock Friday afternoon with the trial of an ejectment auit anil aftr the attorneys had finished humming up te the jury. Judge Ix.ogene. ker announced that he would withhold his cbarre until Saturday morning, as he wished to dis pose of tbe matter of sentence iu tbe cases of tbe Commonwealth vs. Sheet and Weller. The news that Sheets and Weller were about to receive their sentence spread rap ly, and jn a few minutes several hundred teen assembled iu tbe court room.

When tbe defendaats came into court escorted by Sheriff Saylor, both cast their eyes over tbe audience a though searching for tbe face of a sympathetic friend. before taking seau inside the space re served for members of the bar. The defendants were neatly attired, and aside from tbe prison pallor occasioned by their long confinement, showed no evidence of being criminals. Sheets entered into a whispered consultation with bis attor neys, while Weller, with his hands jam med into his pantaloons pockets, lolled in a chair in front of them, apparently in what was transpiring about him. District Attorney Meyers filed a formal motion that sentence be imposed in tbe case of Sheets, and when Judge Longen-ecker directed the prisoner to stand op.

Sheets sprang lightly to his feet and walked to a poeitii.u immediately facing tbe Court. In response to Judge Loogenecker's question, -IIave you anything to say be- ford sentence imposed the defendant, in a clear and firm tone, said that he had not. His Honor then imposed tbe sen- tenor of death, hailing for a moment and glancing steadily in tbe face of the beard-le-j youth before him when he uttered tie words, "And may God in his infinite wisdom have mercy on your soul." Sheets stood erect as a graven image throughout the trying ordeal, and there was no trace of moisture about his eyes or evidence of excitement in his face when he resumed his seat. A few minutes afterward he turned to the Herald reporter and sstf: -p-rbaps I should have told the Judge that has told me sinci tbe trial that be did not tell the truth when be testified against me, and that be believed he was justified in making false statements in order to save himself." Sheets has persistently averrtd that Weller first suggested robbing Giesener, and that Welier held one t4 tbeir victim's hands while he rifled his pockets. He also maintains that tbey attacked Glessner on tbe Berlin side cC tbe strip of woods, and not at tbe point where tbeir victim's body was found.

When Weiler was told to stand up, be arose quickly, and without removing his hands from his pockets. He asked tbe Court to be as lenient as possible with him. Afters whispered consultation with the Associates. Judge Longenecker, ad dressing the defendant, spoke substan tially as follows: "1 be circumstances surrounding this case were snch that the Court decided to permit your counsel to withdraw your plea of not guilty, and to submit one of guilty of murder of the second degree instead. We we: 1m pressed with the fact that you were perhaps controlled by a stronger mind, but you were an accomplice in a brutai murder and we are not disposed to deal leniently with you.

Until recently tbe maximum sentence in cases of murder of the aecond degree was ten years' confinement, but the Legislature baa very wisely changed the law, making tbe maximum penalty twenty years. We have taken your youth into consideration with all tbe other circumstances. The sentence of the law is that you undergo imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary In tbe City of Allegheny for a period of ten years, to be raputed from this date." Wellera face was wreathed in smiles when be turned to tbe andience and sought tbe countenance of bis father, wbo occupiedoneof tbecenter-sitleseatM. He bad expected to get not less than from fifteen to eighteen years in the "pen," and expressed bimseiras being delighted with the seutence of the Court. Good behavior on the part of Weller will reduce tbe term of his imprisonment more than a year.

Sheets' attorneys have declared all along that if their application for a nesr trial for tbeir client was refused tbey would take an appeal to tbe Supreme Court. They ive twenty days in which to file tbeir notice of appeal. 1193 Prodaesrs sf IS9a Xapls Sweets, A conservative estimate of the value of the crop in Somerset county for tbe year ia about One Hundred Thousand rlla. more tbau Eighty Thousand Dollar a' worth of which was placed cn the local markets for shipment.

Tbe youths named are all from fourteen to sixteen years of age. They carried two axes with laetn and had proceeded about half a mile when they stopped and began cutting down a dead tree, taking turns about with tbe axes. Finally Royal Stern, iter plying the axe vigorously for a few minutes, stepped backwards, remarking aa he did so, "I guess it will fall now," and without another word fell over dead. His frightened young comrades tamed bis bodv over again and again, v'- the while imploring him to spesk to them. Some time passed before the awful truth that he was dead dawned upon them.

Then tbey rushed to the home of Mr. Ileffley and that genllernau hastened to the scene. Word was sent to the parents of the dead boy and they also came. One of the boys was sent to StoyeMown for a physician. Meanwhile the body waa removed to the home of the dead hoy's parent.

Pxtor Baker found upon examination that death had resulted from a sudden stop. page of the valve of tbe hcarv and had been insUntaneons. Tbe dead boy was unusually well developed for a lad of his years and had never been sick for a day in his life.

Death sf Mrs. A. 7. Xaspper. Mrs.

Amoa TV. Knepper died at 7 o'rVick Monday evening at the family iresidence on Main Btreet. Although it was generally known that she was suf fering from an incurable malady, the announcement of her death was a severe shock to her many friends. Mrs. Knepper was fifty-four yettrs of age and enjoyed excellent health Uj until about a year ago, when abe was stricken with disease, tbe nature of which batSed the skill, not only of local physicians, but of eminent experts.

In fact nooe of the learned praciliouers who attended her appeared to be able to correctly diagonose tbe cae, and the cause of her death will probably remain a mystery. In the early stages of her sicknees she was said to suffer from aa aggravated form of dyspepsia, and later from blood poisoning, caused by the foul unsanitary condition of the public water table of tbe town. Mrs. Knepper was a member of the Methodist Church and always took a prominent and active part in religioha work abe was also conspicuously identified with the temperance cause in this county and throughout the country. Her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph Smith, deceased, were well-known resident of Glade. During her long sickness she had the solicitous attention of her husband and only son, George wbo has been identified with tbe Young Men's Christian Association work since hi graduation from College some four or five years ago.

The following appeared in the city papers a few days sgo as a dispatch sent out irom-Waahington There is in tbe United States Treasury tbe sum of 10,000 wbich has been lying nnused in its vault for over half a century. It was part of a fortune captured by American soldiers from tbe Mexicans during that war, and waa intended to have been used by the Mexican Government in paying off General Sinta Anna's soldiers. "A Pennsylvania cltuins the credit for the capture of tbe fortune, which amount ed to over jno.OuO.

He wants the remaining. The claim is embodied in a bill which Senator Penrose has introduced in tbe Senate directing the Secre-lary of tbe Treasury to pay tbe 10,000 to George Rusbberger, of Johnstown, for hia services in discovering and capturing Santa Anna's ramey in Cerro Gordo, Mexico, in 117. "Mr. Rusbberger has tied a state met with the Senate Committee on Claims, in wbich he says: I was enlisted in the First Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. After the great ba'tle of Cerro Gordo a brother soldier and myself took a stroll over tbe battlefield.

A Mexican prisoner gave ns information in regard 'o Santa Anna' carriage and money. Tbe Mexican guard was trying to get away with it. My companion made a dash for the mulea attacbeJ to the carriage and was shot dea Tbe Mexicans then fld through tbe chap par ral. I secured help, captured the carriage and money, and took them to General Scott's headquarters. There were several sacks of gold and silver ia a trunk and two boxes of gold were in a wagon, with a dead Mexican Colonel.

Several sack filled wiih money were on pack mules. I claim tbat I made the discovery of Santa Anna's money and that if it hid not been for this discovery the Mexicans would have gotten away with it. I nniersland tbat tbe United States Government haa used in Bt of the money to build a Soldiers Home in Washington. Rshbergers story is substantiated by affidavits from brother soldiers ani ollicers. Senator Penrose propose to push tbe bill for his relief, as he is convinced tbat tbe ease is a meritorious one aud tne claim just." Ail of the older citizens of Stoystown no doubt remember George Rusbberger.

He was born in tbat piaoe, but later removed to Johuatown, wben but a boy. At tbe age of sixteen or seventeen be enlisted for tbe Mexicr.n War, and after that was over rsturred to Johnstown, engaging in tbe manufacture of liniment aud other patent medicines. Sis ta Fsrsst Priest. Pennsylvania has already secured about acres of forest land, but tMs looks very email b-ide tbe reservations of New York which embrace acres. The determination of Governor Stone to make the forestry idea a feature of his administration, and bis enthusiastic support of Forestry Commissioner Roth-rock's plans for accomplishing the best result in this direction is causing a rise in the value of certain mountain lands throughout the State.

Owners of tracts wbich might be available for ioreet reservations have conceived the notion tbat there will be a fortune in mountain lands and alt" tbey need to lu to advance the Drice and bold on. Commissioner Roth rock haa slated more than one that he will not recommend for purchase one perch of Land should it appear that such land ha been secured by speculators with the hope of benefitting at the expense of the Slate.

E0IIERIET60 WITH TERRIBLE EFFECT. Frank Growall of Rockwood Killed and Planing Mill Wrecked.

THXCATSX. Tbe steam boiler at Jonathan Growall" a Rockwood platting mill let go with ter rible effect about eight o'clock Monday morning. Frank Growall, g-xl twenty- one, a son of the proprietor, was so badly Injured that be died the same night. Tbe mill and machinery were badly wrecked. Young Growall was in tbe boiler-room in a small building adjoining tbe mill when the explosion occurred.

He was blown through two stout division walls a distance of fhirty feet, the roof of tbe building landing on top of him. His father was on the aecond floor of the mill at work. He was bruised about the head and shoulders, but whether from tbe effects of beicg struck by a flying piece of timber or from the jar caused by the explosion, be -was unable to tell. The report of the explosion waa heard by a number of person in the neighborhood and tbey rushed to tbe scene of tbe accident. The body of young Growall could not be found for some time, but waa finally dis-overed nnder the dismantled roof.

One of his feet, from which the shoe bad been blown by tbe explosion, protruded from beneath tbe debris. Tbe roof and timbers which eovere-i him were quickly removed. when it was found that be was uncon scious. A physician wts summoned and worked with the irjured man throughout the day without restoricg him to con sciousness. He died about 11 o'clock p.

m. It is reported that the Inspirator by which the boiler was supplied with water had frozen np during the cold snap Sun day night, and tbat young Growall started a fire under the boiler onday morning before thawing out the frozen pipes. He is said to have been engaged at thawing tbe frozen pipes wben tbe explosion occurred, owing to the water get- ling too low in the boiler. Tbe mill building is reported to have been so badly wrecked that it can not be repaired. Many pieces of valuable ma chinery were also rendered valueless.

Tbe loss is estimated at tfsOuu. "A EE1S05ABLE TIKE." Jidgt Simoatoa Delivers aa Opinion ea aa Important Point ia Law. Judge Simonton, of Dauphin county. last week handed down an opinion in volving an important point in commercial law. It concerns the duration of a reasonable time before making a de mand for payment.

The opinion was in the case of the Harrisburg National Bank vs. Robert H. Moffitt, executor of Caro line M. Reiiy, deceased. This case was tried without a Jury, and involved the payment of a note drawn on May la, 1-tC, signed by John W.

Reily, for f7.0u0, tbe payee being C. M. Reiiy. It was discounted by the Harrisburg National Bank and waa held by the bank until March 7th, 1SW, thirty-three months after it was discounted, before formal demand of pay. mjnt was made on the maker.

Tbeplain- ti contended that the note did not become due until demand for payment was made on March 7th. wben due notice was given to the endorser of demand acd fail ore to pay by the maker; while for tbe defense it was claimed that the holder bound to make demand within a rea sonable time, and that aa more than thir ty three months had elapsed afttr the nut was discounted before demand was made and notice given, demand was not made within a reasonable time and therefore the endorser was discharged. In tbe opinion Judge Simonton says: "We do not know of any case in this State which decides the identical question thus raised. But cases have been cited which support the contention of the defendant. Tbe necessary inference of these decisions is that tbe endorser iu the ee before us, if demand was not made withiu a reasona ble time, can not be held liable.

Tbe courts have not laid down any bard and fast rule on the question as to what ia res- sonable time within which demand for payment must be made on a note payable on demand. There is no case, however. that decide that a delay of thirty-three months is reasonable, and it certainly is not." Judge Simonton finally decide that by tbe failure of tbe plaintiff to demand payment of the note in controversy in this case from the maker until the lapse of more than thirty-three months after tbe note was made aud endorse! and delivered to the plaintiff, the endorser was dis- harged from the liability of her endorse ment.
