Remanded to JAN for Larceny.

Charles Falkner was arrested on Tuesday
evening by officer Holzshu and arraigned
before Justice Floto, charged with stealing
a gold watch from one Ernest Mesmer, of
Davis, W Va Mesmer was in town about
a month ago selling brushes, and put up at
the Commercial hotel. During his stay
here he took suddenly and violently III in
his room at the hotel Fa,kner, in compa
ny with two friends Of Mesmer, went up TO
his room to ascertain the condition Of the
sick man and found his vest, containing the
watch, lying on the floor, which they picked
up and hung upon the bedpost. They, after
looking after the mans comfort, left the
room and went back to the hotel office,
about ten minutes after which FAkner ex-
eused himself from the company and weat
out. A short while after FIlkner's absence
the two again went up to Mesmer's room
and found his vest lying upon the hoor aud
both the watch and Falkner gone. Aiiei
the trial Wednesday morning before Justice
Flo.O, in defIult Of bail, FAlkner was com
United to jail. He was taken 10 Somerset
on the accommodation las. evening. FAX
ner came to this place about year ago from
Cumberland, Nd, and for while worked al
fling saws and grinding edged tools. O
late, owing TO the circumstances surround
ing his existence, his general department,
and the character of his alleged place o
boarding, he has lost all standing in thi,
community Meysrsdale Commercial.

Hung Hlmaslf In a uranary.

When George Dddy, a respected and
wealthy farmer Of Addison township, failed
to appear at mis- home at the regular dinner
hour last wednesday, his wife went to the
barn to lock for him. After short search
she found him in the granary suspended
from a rope that had been made fast to one
of the posts. He had been dead for several
hours when found. Mrs. Dddy summoned
help as soon as possible. when the body was
cut down and removed TO the house.
The suicide had gone about the work of
selfdes,ruclion with great deliberliion, but
made bungliDg job Of it after all. He was
last seen alive about eight O'Clock in the
morning. Shortly after that hour he went
to the barn and unplaiied rope that had
been used on a hay fork, and with a strand
of the RIPE in his hand made his way TO the
grsnary.
The granery is constructed on the same
principle as are i msjorily Of the buildings
used for similar purposes in this county.
Twelve posts compose the frame while a
course Of boards, surmounted by lattice
work, complete the walls. The granaries
are usually divided by narrow hail, the
walls of which are made of boards three TO
four feet high.
Dridy entered the building and selected a
post near the. centre, and to the top Of it be
made fast the strand of rope. The other
end of the rope was secured around his
neck. allowing about three feet slack. When
ali of the arrangements were completed he
threw his legs across one of the hall walls
and fell backward Dsath resulted from
strangulation. The dead mans hands were
holding fast to the rope when he was found
and il would appear that sufficient time
ELAPSED after he took the fatal plunge and
before bis strength had fled for him 10 have
saved himself had he not fully decided on
self-destruciion. The sharp boards Of the
wall cut deep cash into the flesh of
his legs, and the legs were so stiff aud rigid
! that they could not be Strengthened.
The only reason assigned for the suicide
| is that Dridy had recently met with the loss
| of a small sum OF money and stood in ter
TOR OF loosing more through the embarrass-
ment Of neighbor. Last winter he suiier-
ed an attack of grippe and il is not i'm
possible that his mind has since been Affect
ed and that he resolved upoa self-destruction.
He was reputed to be one Of the best to do
farmers in the south Of the county. The
suicide was about six,y-fve years of age and
had been married twice. He is survived by

Berkey, Shober, Werner, Independent 4
Co, who set up committeeman in all Of the
various voting districts Of the county, have
had no difficulty in figuring up the result
OF their vigorous" leadership. With all Of
the returns in ii appears that their set ups
were successful in four or five out Of forty
two districts.
The Republican voters of Somerset town
ship with great unanimity "set down" on
Tamrnany methods, introduced at the polls
on Saturday.
Frank Sanner is somewhat ola sprinter,
as his vote for Committeeman in this b0r-
ough will testify.
It is really too bad that the voters who
cast their ballots at the Illegal polls set up in
Somerset township los, their votes.
When Republican principles are al stake
and party organization is in danger no man
in the county is more active than J. r.
Scott. He is always with the people.

bers Of the convention Judge Jeremiab

Thursday afternoon while Mr.. J.J Hoo
lilzell, the well-known fire brick man and
prominen, citizen, of Meyersdale, was re
turning from his business Office at Keystone
Junction to his home in that place, he met
with an accident that will disable him for a
long time TO come if, indeed, it does not re-
suit in his permanent disability. Mr.. Hobli'z
ell aud his son Frank were driving along
leisurely in q buggy when suddenly the king
bolt broke. The elder gentleman was caught
in the wheels and was dragged csnsidera-
ble distance, and was finally hurled against
a rock with sufficient force TO fracture his
right thigh near the hip. Frank leaPed
from the buggy and escaped without Injury.
After capturing the horses Frank returned
10 the scene OF the accident and to the as
sistance Of his father. No Hoblitzsll was
removed to his home where everything that
surgical skill could suggest was done to re
lieye his sufierinEs. Mr.. Hoblitzsil has long
been one Of this countys most energetic
and successful business men aud the rei..ers
of the HERALD will unite with Is in wish
ing for his speedy recovery.
