The :rfaIl bIureer.

Last week J. It. Yaste, Cumberland
saloon keeper, and ID. +. Gordon, also a
resident of that city. We're arrested at the
instance Of w. II. Zufall. of Mcyersdalc.
on charge Of being implicated in the
murder OF Zufalrs son, Grant The pris-
oners were given preliminary hearing
on Wednesday when number OF witness
cs were examined. Beyond producing
evidence that Grant Zufall was murdered
no new light was thrown on the tragedy.
The State sought Ia show that Grant had
been murdered in Yaste's place over a
game cf cards. II. II. Mckane, who
travels for a Pittsburg cracker firm,
testified that on Christmas night he went
TO the TASTE place, and, becoming in
toNis:tted, was taken 10 bed in room
above the saloon. Some time during the
night he awoke to find sharp pain in
his neck. Going to looking glass, he
discovered that while he was sleeping Il
deep cash had been cut i'm his throat, by
whom or when he did not know. He
stated that he did not know Zafail; had
never seen him and had not heard any
noise. He told his story in straight
forward manner and was discharged.
McKane's evidence was a great disap-
pointnent to the murdered mans friends
as they hoped that he would be able to
clear up the tragedy and reveal who the
murderers are. Later in the week
the prisoners were discharged from

Let Us Talk About the Weather, Says
Mr.. Hicks.

My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
March 10 ).
Just here it is pertinent to repeat that
the 1885 crop season weather will be
uncommon and remarkable and every
part Of the United States may prepare for
the unusual. The third storm wave of
March Will reach the Pacific coast about
the l2th, cross the western mountain
country by close of the 18th, the great
central valleys lith 10 I6.h and the eastern
States abou; the l7;h.
The feature of this disturbance will be
very considerable increase ofprecipitation
as compared with the first part of the
month, and the temperature will average
low during the two weeks following this
storm wave.
Warm waves will cross the western
mountain country abou; 9th and i2ih
great central valleys Sth and 18th, and
eastern States 10Th and 10th. Cool waves
will cross the western mountain country
about 9Th and 18th, great central valleys
llth and 18th, and eastern States 18th
and 10.
The principal storms of March will be
those to cross the continent from eth 20
llth and 9th to 2S;h, and the cold waves
following these will be the most severe OF
the month.
The principal, most beautiful, aurora
viii accompany the cold wave crossing
the continent from - TO 26ih. \ more
brilliant aurora will accompany the cold
wave crossing the continent 9TH to 9ih,
bat it viii probably be obscured by the
full moon.

Some Dog Law.

Justice Henry W. Williams. of the
Pennsylvania supreme court, has been
looking up the law made and provided
in reference 10 dogs, and now we have .
decision from the highest judicial tribu-
nal Of the commonwealth on "a dog case.
The gist Of the supreme courts deliver
ance i to establish the fact that under
the common law there is no such thing
as legal property in dog, but that the
owner Of the premises, upon which. with
said owners knowledge and consent a
dog IS habitually kept, Is responsible for
the dogs misioings.
The dog in the ease which occupies the
supreme courts attention was Supposed
by the neighbors 70 belong to l4-yea~
old boy. I'he boy was the son Of Wild
ow, who lived with her brother AMI
kept ho1se for him, and the dog bit a
small boy who attempted the familiarity
of pattiug i; on the head. aud the little
sufferers father determined that some
one should pay for the dogs spiteiul deed.
The case went through trial 10y jury
and damages were assessed at Si3S, which
the uncle ofthe boy, who was regarded
as the dogs owner, was required to pay.
The uncle said he would do no such 4
thing, Al le3s. until ne had ascertaineI
what the supreme court had to say.
The supreme court says the jury decision
is right. The man who permits dog -
live on his promises is responsible for the
mischief done by the dog.

Pedigrees Don't Count.

Recently the Texas state university
needed an instructor in Greek and, as Is
customary with southern institutions of
learning. the need was made known in
Virginia, which supplies the majority of
the southern educators. The post being
desirable. there were many applicants.
One of these, after saying that he would
like to have the place, informed the trus-
tees that his great grandfather had been
a signer of the Declaration of Indcpcnd-
ence, that his grandfather had been gov
eruor of Virginia, and that his father
had commanded brigade in the Con-
federate army. Another applicant said
that his maternal greGt-grandiather had
been a member Of the house of burgeSseS
in the colonial days, that his paternai
grandfather had been United States SEN
ator. that his father was Il circuit judge.
And so on through 20 or more letters.
The board listened patiently 10 the read
ing the letters and then an elderly
member, a prominent stockraiser arose
and said. "Mr. president, | move that
the secretary be instructed 10 write to
these young gentlemen and tell them
that we are looking for man to teach
Greek. not one to breed from."-JHige.

Stirred Vp a Hornets Kest.

The second day of the investigation OF
the County Commissioners of Blair
county brought out some startling
evidence against Commissioners Hurd
and Funk. IL was shown that numerous
bridges were let to alleged f;lvorites of
these men without even the preliminary
advertising or public letting, and the 3d
commissioner, Fagley, never knew any
thing of the sontracts until the men went
10 work upon the bridges. As to the
Court House painting, Boss Painter
Leach testified that il was his custom on
getting check for work 20 take out his
wages and then turn the balance over to
Commissioner Hurd. Commissioner
Fagiey filed his protests TO all illegal con
tracts and refused 10 sign any vouchers
for work done on the same. Contractor
Dunkle swore that he was given the ma
sonry contract for the Eldorss,lo bridge on
condition that he would buy stone from
n!an named Wharton, who owed money
TO Commissioner Hurd. Contractor Ram
sey swore that his bill for work OH the
Gardner bridge was sI39.z5. but vouch-
er was made out for Sl9750, and he in
dorscd the same, but only received the
amount of his bill, some one else getting
the excess. II was shown that some SO
was also paid the Altoona tax collector for
postage. Fagley swore that certain Or
ders produced were altered and tampercd
with after he had signed them. The
hearing adjourned until March II.
