An unknown Italian was killed
on Monday by an explosion of nitro
glycerine at Unionport, n. y, in
a factory where the explosive was
manufactured. Everything in the
vicinity of the spot was razed to the
ground. A large tree that formerly
stood near was reduced to tele-
graph pole, every branch, Leaf, and
even the bark, being peeled off The
bushes for two hundred yards
around were all moved down as
though scythe had been used. Not

Terrible Accident.

ARCHIBALD, Pa, June 10. "A
miner named Charles Galgallon,
of this place, is suffering from one
of the most painful accidents that
ever occurred here. He had with
him in the chamber in which he
worked q boy who helped him to
load cars and put away his tools.
While inserting a charge of powder
for the purpose of blasting down
some coal, Gilgallon handed the
priming-needle, q sharp, slender
tool five feet in length, to the boy,
who threw it in the "gob," with the
point sticking upward. As soon as
Gilgallon fired the fuse leading to
the blast he jumped on the ''gob,"
to get out of the way, and was i'm
paled upon the priming.necdle,
which entrred at the groin and came
out at the arm pit. Physicians say
it penetrated the liver and right
lung. With the needle thus stick
ing in him Gilgallon ran some dis
tance, then staggered, fell, and call
ed the Mortified boy to his assistance.
In the fall the miners light went
out, and the lamp in the lads hat
revealed a shocking spectacle when
he went to his aid. With much
he pulled the needle from
body. Just then the
driver came along and called out,
Bring on the car This wounded
man sprang to his feet and pushed
the wagon out fthe chamber with
out any assistance, then walked
about 800 feet along the gangway
until he me: two laborers, who help
ed him out of the mine. The doc
tors who are attending him think
it possible that he may recover, as
he is endowned with wonderful Vi
tality and courage. Mine accidents
are of frequent occurrence and vari-
Gus kinds, but nothing so peculiarly
painful as this has ever happened
here before.

We call the attention of candi-
dates at the coming primary election,
and of their friends, and hackers,
and of all voters to the new act pub
lished in this paper, regarding brib-
cry, fraud, and unauthorized voting
at nominating conventions or cleo

exceedingly stringent, and the pun
ishment for its violation severe. We
advise candidates and their over
Jealous friends to carefully study its
provisions so that they may avoid
all risk of running contrary to its
mandates, or of encountering its
penalties. The bill received the
Governors signature and became a
law some time since.

Yours truly,
W. y

W VI. NJ. llALis.
The fact that Judge Hall, a nom
resident, has offered himself as a
candidate against one of our Repub-
lican citizens, at our local primary
election, is an unprecedented thing,
and when he in a circular letter APP
pealing to the Republicans of this
county for their support, contempt
uously ignores the fact that there is
a Somerset county candidate in the
field, he commits an ofiense against
decorum and ordinary civility.
When he wrote, IF any Somerset
candidate should offer he ought not
to make much out of an appeal to
local or county feeling" he knew
perfectly well that Mr.. Colborn was
a candidate before the Republicans
of this county, who hold that, " fair
play is a jewel"
Again, says the Judge: g Before
concluding to be a candidate l saw
General Koontz and Mr.. Kooser,
both of whom said they would not
be candidates if / would agree to
rum" All of which forcibly reminds
us of the three historical tailors of
Tooley street, who issued a procla-
nation commencing, We, the peo-
pie of England"
Imagine this trio-IIall, Koontz
and Kooser-sitting down casting
lots, and dividing the raiment of the
Republicans of Somerset county!
How insufferable the egotism of this
triumvirate, in the assumption that
they alone possess the requirements
requisite for a Judge, and how con-
temptuous the treatment of all other
Republican members of the bar.
Why were not the wishes of Messrs.
Edie, or Gather, or Colborn, or Pugh
consulted? +? Among these gentlemen
is to be found legal ability fully
equal to that possessed by the tri-
umvirate. Or was it assumed that
Koontz and Kooser had the power
to transfer the vote of the county to
their Bedford colleague?
We had fully resolved TO hold the
HERALD aloof from this Judicial
contest, but the very injudicious
course pursued by Judge Hall, and
this very remarkable circular letter
have compelled us to our present
course. OF the Judge, we say moth
ing, but the candidate is public
property. Judge Hall is not popu-
lar in the district, and we are assur-
ed cannot carry his own county OF
Bedford. We do not believe there
fore that he should be sustained in
this county, and allowed to use our
conferees to control the sentiment in
his own county against him. More
over, we do not think the Republi-
cans of this county are bound to ac-
cept him rs their candidate because
" Messrs. Koontz and Kooser stipu.
lated that they would not be candi-
dates if he would agree to rum"
Every selfrespccting Republican VIII
see to it, that his vote is not a co N
modify to be transferred by this syn
dicate of egotistical lawyers.

DEAR SIR My judicial term is about to
expire and l am a candidate for the republic
can denomination, and / will be greatly
obliged to you for your support at the pri-
mary election on the 25th of June. 1t is
customary TO re-elect a judge, because his
experience makes him the better qualified
to serve the public. 1t is peculiarly a posi-
ton requiring a large knowledge of the
law. and it is of the highest importance to
the public welfare that il shall be filled by
man of capacity. integrity and experience.
Before concluding to be a candidate | saw
Gen. Koontz and Mr.. Kooser both of whom
said they would not be candidates if would
agree to run. During the 10 years | have
been on the Bench ! have learned 10 know
the people of Somerset county and they
have learned to know IN" pass about as
much of my time in Soi. set as in Bedford.
If any Somerset candidate should offer he
ought not TO make much out of an appeal to
local or county feeling, because | am no
stranger to you but am quite as much at
home and among friends and acquaintances
in Somerset as in Bedford. Besides think
YOU realize the importance of having an
honest and capable and experienced judge,
and that this viii carry you at once above
the mere question of locality in a matter of
such importance
