The business men of this community ex-
perieaced severe shock last Tuesday
afternoon when il became known upon the
streets that John NJ Holderbaum had con
fsSsed judgment for large amount in be-
half OF his creditors. His liabilities are esti-
msted al not less than S30,00d. l. IS not safe
to place an estimate on his assets owing to
the general stagnation of business and the
diSinolination on the part of sll classes OF
business men to invest their capital, bat his
sssests will probably realize $4,000. Mr.
HOIdeTbaum's embarrassment is caused pri.
marily by the uncertainty that has prevailed
In the money market during the pas, year
and half and more directly By the great de-
preston and consequent loss OF business
during the pas; few months. Business of
all kinds throughout the country has been
practically a. a stand still, and although
Somerset is comparatively isolated from The
great avenues Of trade her business men have
suffered more or less by reason of the gem
eral depression.
John NJ. Holderbann is the Oldest mercau-
tile man-in poin. Of serFice-in the county,
having been engaged in general mercantile
business for more than fifty years. He has
spent thousands OF dollars among the people
Of his native county and now that he has

tions Of a long and busy life, through no ez-
traSsgznce or nsglecl his own. be has the
sympathy Of all Of his business associates as
! well as Of the community at large.

John II. Reitz, Posim m3s.er a. Rsiiz, SlO-
nyereek township, sad John Helm and
wi:e, OF the same place, left for New York
yesterday to attend trial in the U. s. Court,
which will commence in that city to day.
Tie same parties attended a former trial
Of this case which took place about two
years ago in New York City, but the case
was appealed at various times ard put oil
until the present,
Tie origin Of the case is as follows About
two years ago, it appears. John Helm proha-
bly, thought little investment in The
green" mi. ht lead 10 developments not en-
tirely healthy for the New York fAkirs and
accordingly he IS alleged to have sent to New
York city for quantity Of the " goods, - en-
closing his money in fhe order But imag-
ine his sarprise when he received box fill
Cd with nothing bat sand. The express
sgeat got onto the scheme some way, as also
did the postmaster, and the result was the
information they had was imported to the
authorities, and led to the arrest of the
counterfeiters in New York.
Alioge her this seems to be quite tsngi-
bic case and one in WHICH lhs deiendaDts
are gghiine boldly, totally ignoring Helms
allegation that he applied for the green
goods.

Az AYFUL SIGHT.

TIE eao:ions OF Mrs. CcffrOth's second
brother, who stood on the opposite side of
the river and saw the wagon upset aud its
occupants hurled into the water, can be bet
ter imagined than described. His cara were
pierced by the cries Of bis brother and sis
ter as they were born down on the breast Of
the water and he was pogerless 10 go to
their assistance in the darkness. Calling to
Mr.. Coffroih to turn the horses away from
the river he ran down the bank until be
came to foot log. Crossing the stream he
returned along the shore until he came up
with the party who had rescued his brother
and sister and were carrying the latter to 3
place of shelter. RetrsOing his steps ss
speedily as possible. he clnfronsed Mr.. Cof-
froth with the exclamation
"only two are lost"
Then be broke the sad story OF the awful
sight be had Just witnessed to the bereayed
father and brother
When Mr.. Coffr0th attempted to visit his
wife Afterwards be found the foot-
log submerged in the water and access 10 ihe
opposite shore cut of. However, ccm-
munieation between the parties on
the opposite shores was an easy matter, as
they were only few yards spart-separattd
by the trescheTous stream.
Il IS not believed that Miss Mae Coffro,h
uttered a cry aiter the wagon toppled over.
and the accepted theory is that she perished
before she could release herself from the
wagon. No one who witnessed ths accident
can recall having heard her voice afier the
wagon turned over, and Mrs. COfIrosh says
the last time she saw Miss Aae she was sitting
in the wagon, apparently self-Possessed and
either unconscious Of impending danger or
recouciled TO her fate.
