Aud How the Evidence was Obtained
for the Arrests.
The following account is taken from the
Toledo Blade Of Saturday,
"on the evening Of Friday, January 6, it
will be remembered the Toledo FIGURING
Mills, situated at the corner otSummit and
Oak streets, were discovered to be on fire.
and it was only by the most heroic and
earnest work that the flrcmen prevented
the building from being totally destroyed.
The mill had been standing for many
years, and the wooden partitions and floor
being MS dry us tinder and more or less sat
urated with oil, made excellent material
for the flames to feed upon. In this, us in
many other instances, Chief Avery dis
played his ability rs fire king, and after u
vigorous fight saved the mill from loss
th0t seemed inevitable. The Blade of the
following evening gave the particulars OF
the affair, which are still doubtless fresh in
the minds Of Thereafter.

was at that time assigned to friction made
by large wheel in the third story, but
those who examined the machinery the
morning following the blaze expressed
their doubts us to the veracity OF this story.
This was done in a quiet why, as ut that
time there was no evidence at hand suiii.
cient to warrant any loud assertion being
made to the contrary. Since then further
Developments have come to light, which
are given below, and now many can be
found who say that they never for mo.
ment believed the friction story. CHIEF
Avery, in conversation with Blade repor.
ter this morning stated that when he first
arrived Mt the scene OF the fire he hastily
examined the premises and at once con.
cluded that the seat OF the blaze was
ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
He noticed the flames were ascending from
that locality in u manner that indicated and
satisfied his mind that whatever might
have been the cause the flames first started
in that locality. He accordingly stationed
two companies to take care Of the second
floor and placed another at work on the
third. Especial care was taken by the
Chief not TO open any moro doors or win.
dows than was necessary because il it was
done draft would be created and The
flames be that much harder to control
This was one OF the secrets OF the fFeman's
success.
The following morning he made an ex.
animation OF the building and was still
further convinced that tho fire originated
in the second floor. The examination he
made he says also convinced him that there

Now comes tho sequel. When arrested
in Toledo Tor setting fire to the Toledo
Touring mills Mr.. Watkins, besides ac.
knowledging the crime he was charged
with, confcsScs that thimseifand Ferguson
were partners in n mill in Wheeling, W.
Va, which they had set Nfire and got Sl2,.
900 insurance money. They then came to
Toledo and purchased the Toledo mills. II
This is What Watkins told the woman
mentioned in the. foregoing article, which
conversation was overheard by tho dctec
tive and other witnesses.
1tisproper 10 state here that Mr.. Watkins
was not known to bea partner Of Ferguson's
in the Wheeling mills, although he was
suspected OF beingassoCiated with him in
some WY. The insurance on the Wheel.
ing mill was taken out by Ferguson and
the policies mnlc ont in his name, and the
checks for the insurance money paid 10
him. 1t is not likely, though, that Watkins
is mistaken i'll saying that the mill was SCI
on fire.
From the INTELLsGENcER of March 2S
1881, containing an account Of the fire, We
reproduce the following significant para.
graph: "Mr. Ferguson told Our reporter
last night that he had no doubt about the
inccndiary origin of the fire, as there had
been no fire in that portion OF the mill for
some time. But us the flames were first
discovered in the engine room there is
reason to suppose that it might have orig
mated from some other cause"

number of gentlemen of Somerset are
interesting themselves in the permanent es-
tablishment of a select OF high school at
this place. The idea is, not to interfere with
the work Of the public or normal bools,
but to establish a classical and business
school that will take up young men and
women where they leave of at the public
schools and prepare them either for busi-
ness or college. There is certainly great
want for something Of the kind in our
town. While our public schools are in tl.e
hands of competent and worthy teachers,
yet they are unable to carry the pupils as
far forward as is TO be desired on account Of
the large numbers that are constantly being
pushed into the schools, besides the course
of stndy at the public schools does not in
clude the classics, the higher mathematics,
or the modern languages. The gentleman
who is expected to take charge of the school
is a college graduate, an experienced teach
er. and has the highest recommendations as
to character and fitness. A paper asking
for pledges of pupils is at the Office Of DR..
Brubaker, which all who haye children
which they wish to edus ate at small cost
should sign.
There are at present a number of young
men and ladies Of this place attending
schools at distance who pay more money
annually to these schools than would sup
port a first class school here at home. Or.
Brubaker, II. L. Baer, Rev. King and 9TH
ers will take great pleasure in giving infor-
nation in regard to the project. We hope

Judge Baer goes upon the bench with the
esteem of the entire community in which
he has lived and practiced his profession for
so many years. OF his high legal attainments
there is no doubt /; the judicial cast of his
mind is admitted the quickncss of his per-
ception is unexcelled: and. in temperament
he is well balanced and cquable. This
latter qualification apart from the necessary
legal ability is, in our Judgment, great and
necessary essential in the make up of a
Judge. 1t was on this rock his immediate
predecessor split; with sufficient legal abiI-
ity, his bad temper, tyrannical disposition,
and insufferable egotism marred his better
qualities and brought him into contcnpt
and odium witt. the profession in the dis
trict. From their personal knowledge of
Judge Baer and the sentiments expressed in
the above address the bar of the district and
his fellow citizens look for better things un-
der his administration, and we doub. not
that they will be gratified Mr.. Baer was
not our choice for Judge, but we expect to
receive from and extend to him that court
esy and consideration always mcted ont to
each other by honorable opponents.

Among the instructors ut the late Teach
ers' Institute zone gave more practical sug-
gestions to assist the teacher in his arduous
duties than DIR. y. C. ShafEer. of the Kutz-
town Normal School. A thorough scholar
and cultured gentleman DR. Shaifer by his
interesting lectures threw much light on
places that before had appeared dark to
many of his hearers. Ills lecture on "Edn-
cation among the Greeks and Romans"
was greeted by fall house. His familiari-
~ with the languages, literature and meth
ods Of education among these ancient na-
tions while il surprised delighted the audi
ence. DR.. ehaffer is one Of the most de-
ligh;ful lecturers 1t has ever been our pleas
ure 10 hear. The entire lecture was listened
TO with wrapt attention by the audience. the
only regret Of all being that il was not at
least an hour longer. We assure DIR. Shatfer
that should be consent to lecture in Somer-
se, again, that seats will be sought with an
eagerness thar will make them command a
premium.

Last week Judge Hall entered rule upon
Edward B. scull, Esq, to show cause why
he shonld not be stricken from the list of at
torneys OF the Somerset county bar. There
is o rule of court in this district that allows
a proceeding of this kind when an attorney
has not been in active practice for year.
Mr.. Scull voted against giving Judge Hall
a banquet. Those Bedford attorneys who
are in danger of having their heads cut off
under the above rule, had better bestir them
selves to make their peace,with the honora-
bic coart.-Bedford Ga=etie.
The Gase.,e makes mistake in regard 10

Christmas passed off quite merrily in our
village.
The L. u. Sabbath school celebrated US
usual by having Christman tree on Satur-
day evening and, as the weather was de-
lightful it drew very largecrow much too
large for the church, as all the seats were
filled an hour before the service began. The
services were opened by spendid music
from the choir followed by remarks by Rev.
NJ. II. Dieffenderfer, pastor of the Beam
charge of the Reformed church. His re-
marks we're very appropriate for the season.
and as Rev. D. is spendid speaker he had
the best of attention from the audience
After Rev. d. closed his remarks the tree
which was very large one, was illuminated
1t presented beautiful appearance and
reflect credit on The committee having that
portion of the worl in charge. Before the
gifts were distributed Rev. Speck spoke of
the duties of parents as well as children in
the sabbath schools, and although he was
some very wholesome truths which We hope
will not be not be lost on the hearers. AZ
ter this came the distribution OF the gifts
which numbered one thousand and all were
distributed without one mistake being
made, which was due to the efficiency of
the superintendent of the sabbath school
Mr.. John p. Ankeny. Altogether We had a
very pleasant time and regret that Christ
mas comes but once year.
Messrs John Gallagher, NJ. II. Sipe, and
James and Harry kauts, of Johnstown,
spent the holidays with their friends here.
Building promises to be quite active in
this vicinity the coming spring which
makes the heart of the carpenter glad.

The editor Of the Meyesdale Commercial,
after asserting that "Mr. Cessna came to
Somerset at the urgent solicitation of three
attorneys. Mr.. Cessna told q
prominent democratic attorney that he in
tended to contest . . A gentleman OF
Brothersvalley was to engineer the disfran-
chisement of Meyersdale and Summit. In
fact all the preliminaries were arranged,
ETC." evades the HrRAIp's proposition to
wager 500 that he could not establish the
truthfulness Of his assertions, and last week
takes an entirely new tack and offers to bet
that Mr. Cessna was telegaphed to come
to Somerset" never in.imating who by.
that Mr.. Cessna was written to make n
contest" no intimation as to who wrote the
letter. etc, ect. By next week we shouldn't
be surprised if he had become sufficiently
reckless to wager $500 that Mr.. Cessna was
candidate at the late election, and the
week following $500, ''the money to go to
winner" that Gassman wasn't elected.
Now, Luther, pus up or shut up, stick to
your original assertion no hedging.

The recent session Of the Somerset county
Teachers Institute was in many respects the
most successful as well as the most instruc-
tive ever held in the county. Over two hun
drcd teachers answered to the roll call and
the attendance and attention during the
week was most commendable. The corps
of instructors and lecturers surpassed those
ofany former institute. Much credit for
the success attained is due to the County
Superintendent for the energy he displayed,
particularly in securing instructors and lect-
urers Of acknowledged talent and ability,
and not unknown to fame For this Pro-
fessor Weller is not only entitled to the
hearty thanks ofthe members OF the Insti
tute. bu; of our citizens in general.
