The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1877-01-26

An influential New England manu-
facturer, who has been here for some
days, remarked, in conversation to day,
that il the Electoral Bill becomes a law
and the Presidential difficulty is thus
Peaceably and honorably settled, it
would be a certain cause OF an immed-
late and general revival of business, and
that this would continue and grow up
into lasting prosperity, if Congress
would adopt a sound financial policy
He finds here disposition to do this if
only the Presidential muddle can be
got out Of the way, and has found, in
conversation with leading mem bers, that
his plans meet with favor. One of these
is that proposed by Secretary Morrill,, to
offer to redeem the greenbacks, at the
option of the holder in four per cent.
bond, those thus redeemed to be can
celled. The other, advocated by Mr.
Schleicher, of Texas, is to retain GER
tain proportion of the greenbacks, paid
in as taxes and deposit them as part of
the Sinking Fund. The first of these
plans would probably get the favor Of
those who are OPT osed to any forcible
contraction, as it would operate only as
far as the money market would make re-
demption profitable. He adds that the
position of the country is now in every
way favorable to a general revival of in
dustry, if only confidence in the future
is restored. The crops of the year are
all either ample or very large. The corn
crop was within two per cent, as great as
the immense crop of 1875, and in the
form of pork is bringing good prices,
with good foreign demand. The wheat
crop is good, and sold at paying prices.
The cotton crop was large and profta-
BILE, and was combined with a larger
production than ever before of food
supplies by the Southern States. Wool
has passed the extreme point of depres.
sion, and is bringing fair prices. The
sugar crop of Louisiana was enormous
and is selling at fair prices Leather has
passed the point Of depression. The ex.
ports are large at full prices and the
price has advanced from four to six
cents per pound, with the home demand
brisk. All the New England cottor
mills which are up to the times are nov
able to earn dividends, and the aggre
gate export of cotton goods is largeI
now than before the War and is steadily
though slowly, increasing. The mos
important sign ofall, in his view, is tn,
sense DISABILITY and hopefulness for tn,
future, in case the Presidential difficult,
is peaceably settled;a feeling such as ha
not obtained since the panic of 1878, ant
which reaches every important brancl
of industry. This feeling only need
the settlement of the Presidential ques
tion, and then of the currency question
he thinks, to take effect in constructiv
: enterprises Of all kinds, to make up 70
the complete stoppage Of all such un
dertakings during the last two or thre
years. Thus. he thinks, labor now I'M
: employed would Immediately find EN-
: ployment in the building of new MILL
warehouses, railroads and other larg
works.

Piety and C0unterfeiting-a Mild
hammered Saint who Made Ten
Dollar Notes of TWos.

James L. Marker, the mild-eyed
young man who was arrested in Brook
Iyn on Saturday night for raising 81
currency notes to SO, had passed in
Mrs. Van Visk's boarding house in
Henry street for model of piety. He
had been there about year, Lying in a
meanly furnished room On the third
story. His father is Methodist clergy
man, and Marker has attended the
Methodist churches of Brooklyn. He
manifested a great aversion to the ways
of the wicked world, and frequently told
his landlady that he took no pleasure in
going into the streets in the evening.
She took a mothers interest in him, re-
garding him as the best boy Fhe ever
saw. He spent most of his time in his
room, writing. He sent frequent con-
tributions to the Harpers and read af-
terward to the landlady and an elderly
female friend in the house what he said
were his articles. He was next kept
busy writing sermons for Mr.. L Ros-
vally, the converted Hebrew, and wrote
many religious articles for the Hebrew
Evangelist and Converted Jew, jour
nal published by Ros7ally at IS Gold
street, this city The sermons he wrote
were full of JUNCTION. The writer had a
talent for religious composition which
seemed to give him great pleasure, but
he was far too modest and mild manner
| ed to disclose his satisfaction in this
work to any but his aged lady friends.
His mind seemed to dwell on pions
things The good women, who told of
his virtues to all of their little circle of
friends, never dreamed that, in the long
hours he spent in his rooms he was pa
tiently using paper stencil plates and
darning needle to change two-dollar
bank notes into tens. When Sergeant
Kellett made a second search of Man
ker's room he found a box of paints,
some tubes of paint, and camel's hair
brush that had been used to touch with
green the spots on the altered bank notes
that had beer too much scratched.
Mrs. Van Visk took her friend his
breakfast yesterday morning in his cell
in the Butler street police station. When
she told him to tell the truth, however
bad it was. he wept. Marker told the
Sergeant that the only way he could
account for the articles found in his
room was that they might have beer
left there by his friends, of whom hs
had many.
Marker said last night that he receiv
ed the bank note that he offered Bernard
Trevert from Rosvally. AS to th'
stencil plates Marker said that they
fell from pamphlet or tract that h'
picked up when he was in Rosvally'
room.

MOUNTAIN MINING PERILS.
Buried Beneath an Avalanche for
Days-An Almost Miraculous Es-
cape.
From the Salt Lake Tribune

ALTA, Jan. 3.-Lew Boutwell, Of
American Fork Canon came over here
early on New Years morning, passing
near the Wellington mine, on the east
side of the Bald Mountain, but without
noticing anything, as there was slight
fog. On his return in the afternoon a
snow slide had covered the dwelling, and
he hastened back to report. A large
party of citizens repaired to the scene,
and found the house buried beneath an
immense slide, with the exception ofthe
roof, which had been carried away some
300 feet. After working until late into
the night, and discovering nothing ol
the house or its occupants, consisting Of
]. w. Brown, J. B. White, John Var.
coe, j. w. Park, wife, and child, and il
being evident that the slide had occur
red several days previous, the party re
turned to their homes to mourn thei
friends as lost. Early next morning
force was sent over from ths Flagstaf
mine to help recover the bodies, and af
ter probing the snow in various place
with long iron rods, they struck a por
tion Of the house, and heard knockin,
in reply.
Hastily sinking shaft to the deptl
of 20 feet, they struck what had beef
the upper floor of the house, unde
which they found Messrs. Brown an,
Varcoe. The former was delirious, bu
the latter in good spirits. The bodies Q
Mr.. White, Mrs. Park and the chill
were recovered. They had been crush
ed by portions of the building and tn
weight of the snow. The body of MI
Park has not yet beerrrecovered. Nj
Varcoe says that the slide struck ther
Dec. %, at about three o'clock in the al
ternoon. All were in the house excel
Mr.. Park, who was shovelling snow fror
the steps. He and Brown found then
selves under the upper floor, with ju.
sufficient snow to turn over, but wei
unable to sit up or touch their hands I
their feet and legs, which became grea
, ly swollen from the cold, as they were i
. their stocking feet. The tapes th,
=. tied their drawers at the ankle cut ini
their swollen limbs, producing constar
torture. Their bed was the snow, whol
MEETINGS soon saturated their clothin
On New Years night they plainl
heard the party searching for them, an
could even distinguish the voice of the
friends. After shouting until exhaus
: ed they heard them leave them, as the
, supposed, to die in their dungeon
Then, and not till then, Gays John Va
coe, we gave up all hope. Mr.. Brow
: became delirious soon afterward, and
= this condition he was taken out.

Mastering Vicious Horses.
From the sau Francisco chronicle.l

Yesterday afternoon an exhibition
was given at the corner of Ninth and
Howard streets of new and very sim
pie method of tanning vicious horses,
which is claimed to be superior to any in
use. The first trial was with kicking
or bucking mare which, her owner says,
has allowed no rider on her back for FIVE
years. She became tame and gentle in as
many minutes, and allowed herself to be
ridden about without sign of he form
er wildness. The means by which this
result was accomplished consists of a
piece of light rope, which is passed
around the front jaw of the mare, just
above the upper teeth, crossed in her
mouth, and then secured back of her
neck. It is claimed that no horse will
kick or jump when thus secured, and
| that bucking horse after receiving thi:
treatment few times will abandon his
vicious ways forever. A very simple
method was also shown by which a kick,
ing horse can be shod. 1t consists il
connecting the animals head and tail By
means of a rope fastened to the tail ant
then to the bit, and drawn tightly
enough to incline the horses head to on,
side. 1t is claimed that it is absolutely
impossible for the horse to kick on tn,
side of the rope. At the trial yesterda,
horse which for years had to be bount
on the ground to be shod, suffered tn,
blacksmith to operate upon him With
out attempting to kick while secured in
the manner described.

4 Card to the Public.

For many years We have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of a
vast class of sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and, in
fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the last
two years counterfeits of our medicines
have sprung up, dangerous in .heir
close imitation of our Trade Mark. To
secure the people We have placed upon
each genuine box of Holloway's Oint-
ment the fac simile of the signature OF
our agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock, To coun-
terfeit is felony We shall relentlessly
pursue any one who initiates this with
the utmost vigor of the law. We most
earnestly beg that the great mass of the
American people will aid US in our eff.
forts to protect their health, and help us
in our task of bringing these most un.
principled men to the bar of Justice
Uniformly refuse to purchase Medicines
purporting to be ours unless Mr.. Jos
Haydock's signature is attached to each
box of Pills or pot of Ointment and the
end will soon be reached.

Scarcity of Money.

There is no doubt but the present
condition of all kinds of business and
industry is fearfully depressed, and it
behooves every family to look carefully
to their expenses. Winter is coming on
when children are liable to Group,
Whooping Cough, etc. Coughs and
Colds will prevail everywhere, and Con-
sumption, with other throat and lung
diseases, will carry off many. These
diseases should not be neglected. Doc
tors bills arezexpensive, and we would
advise our people to use Boschee's Ger.
man Syrup. 1t never has failed. One
bottle at IS cents will keep your whole
family we'll during the winter. Two
doses will relieve any case. Sold in. all
towns in the United States, and by youI

The Ashtabula Bridge.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 21.-At the Coro-
ner's inquest in Ashtabula yesterday
morning. Mr.. Albert Congdon testified
as follows:
At the time of the construction of this
bridge l was employed by the Lake
Shore road as master mechanic. / knew
something about :he construction of
this bridge, as l had charge of the
work in making the bridge. / found
lack of material to fill the place for
which il was designed. / told Mr.. Tom
linson about il and he wanted to know
if he had better let Mr.. Stone know it..
| told him he had better. A short time
afterward / was told to take the plans
and finish the construction of the bridge
as thought it should be done. / do
not know how far the work had progress
ed at the time I assumed control. The
braces were not marked so as to desig-
nate the positions they were to occupy;
never calculated the strength of the ten
sion of compression members; did not
say much to Mr.. Tomlinson, or any 9TH
er man, about the bridge, as 1 did moi
consider myself a competent bridge man
From the time of Mr.. Tomlinson's leav-
ing had the management Of construct
the bridge. AS soon as the bridge wal
completed it was shipped to Ashtabula
There was a recess in the angle blocl
into which the lateral braces fitted. Th,
lateral braces on the top cord were fast
ened to the outside of the angle bIot !
by lug passing up about three inche
through the angle block. This descrip
tion applies to the bridge before it wa
shipped. AS soon as the bridge wa
shipped Mr.. Rogers told me that Nh
Stone had given him orders to erect ii
but he did not know how. asked hin
why he did not 20 and tell Mr.. Ston
/ 80, and he said that he did not like to.
then told him as much as I knew"

Wang Ching Foo is preaching Ruddh-
ism in Minneapolis.
We shall not discourge this apostle Of
Buddhism from taking up his parable in
New York. He evidently thinks that
some new kind of religion is needed in
this country. He knows that the great
majority of the people profess to believe
in Christianity; he hears them say SO,
and he notices that they 60 to church,
where they sing hymns, and listen TO
sermons and prayers. But, SO far as
many of them are concerned, he sees
that in their practices, they utterly dis
regard their religion; that they do not
conform their lives to it; that it has no
influence upon their daily business and
habits; and hence, after all, he has, very
probably, come to the conclusion that
they do not, in reality or in any genuine
sense, believe the religion which, for
some reason or other, they profess. He
knows very we'll that his system of re-
lIgion, Buddhism, lays down far loftier
and better rules of human conduct than
those which are put in practice by the
mass of so called Christians here. Hence
! he desires to promulgate his religi on
among those who doubtless seem to him
mere heather or mere shams. Well, let
him go on. If he can turn some of our
40 called Christians to Buddhism, and
induce them to live up to the sublime
principles Of the lovely. ..Buddha, he will
make their lives infinitely better than
they now are, and will not diminish
their hopes OF heaven.-[New York

A young bank clerk at Toronto, Mr.
Barber, gets $4,000 year for five years
This is how. 1t was found that he had
been taking the securities of the bank
Of which he was custodian, and using
them himself as collaterals to obtain
loans on for stock speculations, or to
lend to other people for consideration
A public trial would have exposed q
great number of his accomplices, men
Of high position, so he elected to be
tried summarily, pleaded guilty and
was sent to the Penitentiary for five
years. The men of high position just
alluded to paid him 100000 to take
