is for the editor of paper to attempt to

THE bill to enable the overland rail-

The LICENSE QUEsTIoS.-The excitement
in Somerset, which has been very great for
the past two or three weeks has about reach
ed its climax. For almost all the cases in
which a special remonstrance has been FL
ell testimony has been taken before an Of
fieer to show the necessity tor that particu-
lar license or an attempt has been a to
prove the contrary. The last batch of tes-
tamony was filed at a late hour Saturday
evening. The cases were all made up, he
issue joined ard the contending forces rested
upon their arms until the final battle should
open Monday evening. The crowd in town
Monday wa a large one and the license
question was the talk of the day. Politics
for once had to take second place and the
many candidates who were about seeing
their friends foundit MP hill work to get
them to talk election. The first tap of the
bell mad scarcely sounded Monday evening
when the crowd begun rushing toward the
court house aud by the time court called the
large room was crowded, quite a number of
ladies being in the audience. Judge Baer
announced that the Court proposed 10 hear
both sides fully, and that the law as laid
down in the opinion of the court delivered
at Bedford last week would also govern in
this county. He also Announced that ifthe
members of the W. G. T. u. would agree
upon any person, not a member of the bar,
whom they wished to speak in their behalf
he would be heard. The attorneys for the
liquor people strongly objected to this but
the court remained firm in his decision,
The temperance people selected Elder Peter
Vogel to speak for them. Both sides were
represented by the ablest counsel that could
be procured.
Mr.. Ruppel led off for the remonstrants
and made one Of the most forcible and clean
cut arguments that We have ever listened to.
His speech was not long but his arguments
were strong and weighty. He was followed
by Val. Hay, Esq, the most energetic tenn
perance man in the county, in a half hour
argument. General Coffroth then spoke
and made a strong appeal against the grant
ing Of license, esrecialiy TO the hotels in
Somerset. Eide. Vogel followed General
Coffroth in n fifteen or twenty minute
speech. BY this time it was after nine
O'Clock, and the cOu asked the attorneys
whether they preferred to have an all-night
session and finish the job, or whether they
would let the matter 20 over till Tuesday
night. It was finally decided to continue
the session for another hour and then adj
%journ. II. l.. Baer then made the opening
argument for the license applicants in a for
chile speech of over an hour in length.
When he finished the crowd broke out into
applause which was quickly stopped By the
Court officers. at the close of Mr.. Baer's
speech court adjourned. The argument
viii again be taken up at the opening of this
evenings session of Court.

To TAX CoLLEcroRs.-The new tax coll
%lectors OF the several districts Of the county
who were chosen at the spring elections,
under the new law Of June p, 1885, will do
well to remember that according to the sew
enth section of this act they are required to
give public notice by written or printed
~handbills, posted IN at least ten public pla-
ces in different parts Of the district that the
duplicate is in their hands Of the five per
cent abatement within sixty days and the
five per cent penalty after six months. 1t
is to be feared some of the collectors neglect
this requirement, and they should remedy
their neglect at once. 1t is also to be noted
that on the last two weeks of these sixty
days the collector, or some one representing
him, is to be at a designated convenient
place between . and 6 P. N. to receive such
taxes.

SHowEE OF DEAD BTKDs-On Monday
when the watchman Of ii e Chicago Board Of
Trade building made his rounds, he found
the sidewalks and streets in front Of the
tower covered with dead birds of all sorts.
A little later the electrician came down, and
said the birds had been killed by the electric
light at the top of the tower. When be
went up TO the lantern with several men,
bers of the Board of Trade the roof was
found TO be covered with dead birds and
each Of the lamps in the big circle of light
was filled with them. one globe having eight
birds In it. These birds are of every known
variety. and many unfamiliar species are
among the lot. Ali shades and colors are
there. scarlet. blue, pink. red, canary, mot
tied black and white, and there were some
snipe and plover among them. The theory
is that they were migratory flocks, going
from south to north, and were attracted by
the great light, which killed them the mo-
ment they touched it. Many persons were
on the street with bags and baskets, and in
less than two hours the sidewalks were
cleared.

HrSrs 70 HoRsEMEs.-Never buy a horse
that has long ears, with long, straight hair
inside them is narrow between the ears,
and between the eyes, has fiat, round eyes
in sunken orbits. and whose nostrils are
small and thick, for he will certainly prove
to De a beast of small intelligence, hard to
teach, incapable of remembering and liable
to be obstinate, just as stupid persons are.
And do not buy the horse that is narrow at
the top of the head, bullying between the
eyes, and has a sunken, dishlike face be-
tween them. for be is sure to be vicious and
treacherous. Bur take the horse that has
short ears, with short, curly hair inside
them that is broad between the ears and
eyes. with a regular, straight face, and large,
thin n~ostrils, for in him you will find an
intelligent, spirited, yet willing servant and
faithful friend, if you will only treat him
rightly.

Anthony Sager, the New Baltimore brew
er, was arrested last week by L. 5. Marshal
Beegle, upon a charge of violating the reve-
nue. laws. 1t is charged that Sager bought
twenty beer kegs from the Italians who sold
beer to the South Pennsylvania laborers,
that he removed therefrom the brand of the
brewing company and filed the kegs with
beer of his own manufacture. The law pro
yides a penalty of $50 for each offense of
this kind, so that if Sager be convicted the
fines will amount to 1000. The defendant
gave bail for a hearing on the 221.
