Testimony was taken at Salisbury on
Saturday for the purpose OF determining
the right OF priority to newly discover
ed brake for which two parties from that
neighborhood have been seeking 10 ,e-
cure a patent from the United States Coy
erDment. In view of the evidence adj
duced there is reason TO believe that let
ters patent will be issued to w. S. Eas-
ton, well known Salisbury niacbinist.
Some time ago Mr. Easton's inventive
genius produced brake, simple in con-
struction, but claimed 10 bo more effect
i've than any similar instrument-with
the possible exception of the air-brake-
for the purpose of checking the progress
of wheeled vehicles. Before securing n
patent he determined to test the capabili-
ity of his discovery. aud in order to do so
manufactured a number of brakes which
were successfully attached to c,al cars in
the Salisbury region and produced satis-
factory results. Meanwhile he got the
necessary papers descriptive of his in
vention in shape to lay before the officers
of the Patent Office. The papers were
freely exhibited with tho result that
some person or persons secured copy OF
them and after anti-dating the discovery
several weeks presented them at the Pat
eut Office and asked that letters patent be
issued to them. Mr.. Easton learned that
his idea had been stolen and was about to
be appropriated by other parties in time
to file objections with the Commissioner
N Dafanta Tho
ly granted an interference. on which tes-
timony was taken. The party who is al
legged to have stolen Mr.. Easton's in .
vention has fled to escape arrest for per
jury.

A Salisbury Hotel surasa.

c. t. Hays three story frame hotel
building and Samuel Koontz's frame
wagon makers shop adjoining, at Sails
bury. were destroyed by fire Thursday
evening. The fire originated from de-
iective Hue on the second door of the ho-
Tel and when the flames were discovered
they had gained such headway that moth
ing could be done to check their course.
only few articles of household furni-
tore were saved from the hotel.
George X. Walkers general store was
located in a large room in the centre of
the hotel building aud his entire stock
was wiped out by the flames.
The entire loss will approximate sI5.-
Voa Mr.. Hay had sI,0oO insurance on
ms hotel building and furniture. which
VIII not cover one-half of his loss.
Messrs. Walker aud Koontz were also in
snred, but to what extent has not been
learned, but it is known that both gen
uemen are heavy losers.
The Hay hotel was erected about
twelve years ago and was one of the best
constructed and most conveniently ar
ranged public houses in the county.

The Date Of Easter.

The date of Easter Is determined by
the ecclesiastical calendar of the Catho-
lie church. 1t is very complicated and
elaborate affair invented by Lilius, a Ne
apolitan astronomer and sage, under
Pope Gregory XIII, at the close of the
sixteenth century. 1t would be prepos-
terous 10 tax the brains of modern read
ers with the abstruse calculations by
which the date of Easter is determined,
but few general rules might be given
for their enlightenment.
The regulations of the eouncil of Nice
are four: First, Easter must be celebrat-
ed on Sunday; second, this Sunday
must follow the fourteenth OF the paschal
moon; third, the paschal moon is that
moon whose fourteenth day falls on or
next follows the day of the yernal equi-
nox; fourth, the equinox is fixed invari-
ably in the calendar on the Dist day of
March.
This calendar moon, it should be re-
membered, is not the moon of the heav-
ems nor yet the moon of the astronomers,
but it is an imaginary moon created for
ecclesiastical convenience. From these
conditions il follows that Easter Sunday
can not happen earlier than the 22d of
March or later than the 18th of April.

oldest Dinner Ever Eaten.

Perhaps the most remarkable dinner
on record was that by an antiquary
named Goebel, in the city of Brussels.
A description of it is furnished to the
Boston Cooking School Magazine by one
OF the guests, Mr.. Amaziah Dukes, of
New York.
At that dinner ate apples that ripened
more than eighteen hundred yeors ago;
bread made of wheat grown before the
children of Israel passed through the
Red Sea, and spread with butter that was
made when Elizabeth was Queen of Eng
land; and washed down the repast with
wine that was old when Columbus WAS
playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa.
The apples were from an earthen jar
taken from the ruins of Pompeii- The
wheat was taken from a chamber in one
of the pyramids, the butter from stone
in an old well in Scotland, where for
several centuries it had lain in an
earthen crock in icy water. and the wine
was recovered from an old vault in the
city of Corinth.
There were six guests at the table. and
each had moathful of the bread and a
tablespoonful of wine, but was permitted
to help himself bountifnlly to the butter.
there being several pounds of it. The
apple-jzr held about two-thirds of a
gallon. The fruit was sweet and as finely

Stole the Roroneh Seal.

After making an unsuccessful attempt
10 force an entrance into J. b. Davis
store. at Ursina, Sunday night, robbers
went further down the street to the bar
ber shop of Ananias King. where they
removed a pane of glass from window
and released the sash fastening, after
which it was an easy matter to elevate
the sash and gain access to the shop. The
robbers stripped the shop of everything
portable, including a kit of tools valued
at $500. In addition To abreviating the
whiskers of the male residents Of Ursins,
barber King serves the people of that
place in the capacity of burgess. This
fact appears TO have been known to the
burglars, who carried away the borough
seal and thus temporarily prevented him
from attaching his seal to all papers that
may be presented for his official sigma
ture. After looiing the barber shop the
burglars forced an entrance into the B. *
o. station, where they stole lot of tick
cts.

Plucky Uniontown Girl.

Just before daybreak last Tuesday
morning Mrs. James A. Laughed,
wealthy widow of Uniontown, Pa, aud
her daughter Laura were awakened by a
strange man in their room, who asked
for money. The intruder spoke in brok-
en- English and in gruff way. Laura's
revolver was in the bureau .lrawer. She
tried TO decoy the burglar into an adjOin-
ing room by telling him the money was
there. He commanded the plucky girl
TO go and get the money for him. This
was her opportunity and she replied, ''All
right"
Instead of going straight 10 the door.
she went around the burglar To the bu-
reau, where she got the revolver, and,
with the weapon pointed at the burglars
head, she demanded that he surrender.
He fled down stairs. Miss Laughed
opened fire on him as he retreated, max
ing him scream. To get out he had 70
climb over the kitchen transom, and, as
be was struggling to squeeze through,
Miss Langhead fired again. The nervy
girl then hoisted the window and opened
fire as the burglar appeared on the out
side. The fellow left bloody trail
through the house and down the board
walk, indicating that he had been badly
wounded.

Better Accommoi ations on the East Mar
kle:on e r

The MarkletOn Lumber Company, who
for several years past have been operat-
ing two or three large saw mills in the
mountain east of Markleton. have cut
away the intervening timber between
there and point about three miles from
Summit Mills The sawed lumber is
conveyed to the railroad station by a
small engine over tram road. During
the next few weeks the wooden tracks on
the tram road will be replaced by steel
rails and as soon as the contemplated
change has been made the Lumber Com
pany proposes putting an observation car
on the road for the benefit of the travel
ing public, and especially for the benefit
OF the guests Of the Markleton Sanatori-
um, many of whom daily make tour of
the road, notwithstanding the primitive
accommodations afforded them. The as
cent Of the road from the river is very
steep aud sinuOus, crossing and recross-
ing rugged trout stream every few rods
over rudely constructed bridges. The
country on either side is of the widest
character imaginable and the sense of
danger experienced by passengers is said
to be one of the chief charms of trip
over the road Although number of
accidents, resulting from the use of wood
en- rails, have occurred since the road
was constructed, none of them terminal
ed fatally.

Fine Dental Work.

DIR. p. p. Ritter, of Meyersdale, Pa,
having taken a special course in adyanc-
ed dentistry, has opened laboratory in
connection with his Office in Meyersdale,
where he is prepared to do the latest and
most improved crown and bridge work,
i. e. teeth without plates, making a spec
ialty of the Richmond crown, which is
the most artistic crown known to the
profession.
My bridge work is the finest and looks
and feels like the natural teeth and are
nearer to nature than any artificial dent
ure.
j will guarantee my bridge work, as
there is no danger of the porcelain face
breaking away from the bridge, which
happens so frequently with ordinary
work.
/ am also prepared to do any kind of
plate work, especially gold plates, anoth
er line of the finest dentistry.
Ny Office will be open every day in the
year, and all work shall be done at rea-
sonable prices and within the reach Of
any who may wish the best dentistry.

Costs in Petty Prosecutions.

A bill which has already passed the
Senate provides that in cases of prosecu-
ton for misdemeanor or surety of the
peace instituted before committing
magistrate, wnen the defendant is dis
charged for lack of proof of guilt, the
costs of prosecution shall be imposed
upon the prosecutor, who, in default of
payment within five days. shall be i'm
prisoned in the County Jail for not less
than ten nor more than thirty days.
Grand jurors are also empowered to i'm
pose the costs of ignored bills of indict-
ment upon prosecutors, with a similar
penalty for default of payment, and petit
jurors, in cases where the defendants are
acquitted, are given a like power.
The object of this act, says the Phila-
delphi Times is to discourage the bring
ing of petty, spiteful, vindictive and un-
founded prosecutions which under exist
ing law may be safely done and the costs
saddled on the public. II is estimated
that petty prosecutions of this sort cost
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
nearly two millions annually, without
promoting the cause of justice in the re-
motest degree. The passage of this act
would call halt on this class of prosecu-
tions, save the counties large amounts
now exacted for costs and promote the
peace Of every community into the bar
gain.
While the penalty for bringing an un-
founded criminal prosecution may seem
little drastic, it is all the more lik sly to
prove effective. The spiteful individuals
in every neighborhOod who delight in
bringing petty prosecutions, to the an
ance of their less litigous neighbors. will
think twice and then decide not TO do it
if they are compelled to pay the costs in
all unfounded prosecutions. The fun in
this sort of thing consists in being as an
noying as possible and compelling some
body else to pay the costs.

Haunted

The human tenement is often haunted
to the grievous discomfort of its possess
sess0r-by those malignant spirits, con-
stipation and biliousness. But the abon-
Unable pair may be speedily driven out
with the potent help of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This genial Alternative,
while il relieves the bowels and regulates
the liver, never as a drastic purgative
does, produces violent effects and weak
ems the intestines. on the contrary, the
action of the Bitters is precisely analo-
gous 10 an effort of nature seeking to re-
sumo her proper functions. This fur
nishes pretty conclusive evidence that it
is better to use persuasive means, so to
speak, than to endeavor to coerce nature
to return to duty. Violent remedies
produce only temporary effect, follow
ed by a burtful reaction. For indiges-
ton, malarial and kidney complaints,
rheumatism and nervousness, the Bit
tiers takes highest rank among remedies
of the philosophic school.

rwsntx n0uhls Houses for Scalp

The Berwind- White Coal Company,
which has purchased several thousand
acres Of land in the vicinity of Scalp
Level and will commence shipping the
product therefrom as soon as the branch
railroad from LOvett is completed, has
given contract for twenty double
houses to be erected on its land there for
the accommodation of its miners, says
the JohnstOwn Tribune.
The structures, it is said, will be better
than the average company" houses, an
indication that it is expected good
many years work will be provided for
the miners in that locality. They are all
TO be built on the Somerset-County side
of the line. The main part of each bull
ding will be twenty-four by thirty-two
feet, with II fourteen by twenty-four.
All are TO have stone foundations and
cellars and are to be painted and plas-
tered throughout.
1t is understood that the price is in the
neighborhood of $500 for each house, or
$1,000 for the lot.
