ROddy Bows and the supreme Court.

The relatives of John and James Rod
dy, confined in the county Jail under SEN
tence of death for the killing of David
Berkey, appear to be unable to raise suf-
ficient funds to carry the case to the Su-
preme Court, before which appeals from
the Somerset county court will be heard
on October Ilth, in the city of Pittsburg.
Messrs. Coffroth q Ruppel and Chas.
F. Uhl. Jr., counsel for the condemned
men, are steadfsst in the belief of their
clients innocence, and it is probable
that they will ask the Supreme Court to
waive the rule in regard TO having the
testimony, argument, exceptions of err
ror, Re, printed in the usual book form
in this case and permit them to file a
type written copy of the same for the in
spection of the Court.
OF course il is not known whether or
not the Supreme Court will comply with
the request of counsel in this particular,
but counsel hope that in an appeal where
two human lives are at stake they will
do so, or at least continue the case until
the friends of the condemned men have
been given further opportunity to pre-
sent their case in proper form.
Should the Supreme Court refuse to 60
into the matter in the form in
which it is likely to be presented, then
counsel for the condemned men will go
before the Board of Pardons and endeav-
or to have their clients pardoned, or at
least have the sentence of death commut-
ed to one of life imprisonment.

Back From the Grave

We can not come, but we can often stay
our progress thither. Disease, like
everything else, must have beginning.
All chronic malaiies tend to shorten life,
and render it a species of martyrdOm
while they last. Malaria, kidney COM
plant, chronic indigestion, rheumatism
all have small beginnings, and may be
stayed at the Outse, with Hostetter's
Stomach Biiters. This excellent tonic
and Alternative is adapted alike TO the pre-
vention of disorders Of the system and To
their removal, and its early use can not
be too strongly advocated. To renew ap-
petite and insure tranquil rest, there is
no surer aud pleasanter means than the
Bitter. The effects of overwork and ex
haustion, mental or physical, are coun-
teratted by it, and the busy merchant,
the tired clerk or operative. and the
brain weary student, author or newspa-
per man, derive from its present relic
and future energy.

Charged With Attsmptsd-criminal Assault.


James Cummins was lodged in Jail
Friday evening to await trial on a charge
of attempted criminal assault preferred
by Miss Elizabeth Shalfer, aged IL, whose
parents reside on coal hill, short dis
tanee east of this place.
Ii appears that Miss Shaifer came 10
town Friday afternoon for the purpose of
making few purchases at different
stores and about four o'clock started for
home. Cummins it is alleged followed
her out of town and 10 the foot of coal hill,
where he approached her and asked her
to go into the bushes skirting the road,
with him. The girl spurned his request
when he laid hands upon her and at
tempted TO carry her into the under
growth by force. The now thoroughly
frightened girl began to scream and fight
with all her strength. Her cries were
heard by several persons in the neighbor-
hood who hastened to her assistance and
frightened Cummins away, but not until
he had partially denuded the girl of her
clothing. Miss Shaffer ran to her home,
a few hundred yards distant and inform
ed her mother of the assault with the
result that Mrs. Shaffer came at once TO
town and lodged an information against
Cummins as stated above. Cummins was
under the influence of liquor at the time
and it is claimed that he asked persons
he passed on the road, not to tell tn 1t
they had seen him in that neighborhood.
The prisoner demanded hearing and
was taken before Esquire Knepper, Sat
urday afternoon, when he elected to re-
turn to Jail without going through that
formality. Bail was fixed ut 500.
