WILL TAX POLES.
cOanoil Adopts an Ordinance Pls-iug Tax
Of 80 csats oa All Elee>rie Light, Tsls- :
pAons and Telegraph Poles in the
Esreugh
WILL PRODUCE REVENUE OF ABOUT
5000 ANNUALLY.

The ordinance prepared bv Borough
Solicitor c. w. Walker. ia compliance
with resolution adopted by a unaui-
NOUS vote OF council six weeks ago. im-
posing a tax Of sl.00 each on every Tele-
graph, Telephone and Electric Light
pole. and Sl.5c on ch and every mile OF
wire utilized D. such companies in the
borough, was presented for final passage
at meeting of council held Thursday
evening. when Councilman Scull moved
that the ordinance be adopted. after the
words and lines imposing a tax on wire
had been eliminated Councilman San
ner seconded Mr.. Scnll's motion. when
Councilman Ruppel moved to amend by
fixing the amount OF tax at 50 cents per
pole. Mr. Rappel's amendment was Sec
onded by Councilman Winters, and on
call for the yeas and nays the amendment
was adopted, the votes of Messrs. Scull
and Sanner being the only ones recorded
against it. When the yeas and nays were
called for on the original resolution,
which placed the tax at Si.00 per pole,
Messrs- Scull and Sanner voted yea. The
ordinance becomes effective on June lst
and should be the means of procuring
several hundred dollars annually for the
use of the borough.
Representatives of all the companies
affected by the ordinance we're present
and entered their protest against the pas
sage of the measure. the principal ad-
dress being delivered by Mr.. Chas. II.
Fisher, in behalf OF the Electric Light
Company. Mr.. Fisher pointed out that
his company would be compelled to pay
By far the largest proportion of the funds
accruing by reason of the pole tax, and
urged that if council was disposed to i'm
pose any tax at all they should make the
amount as small as possible.
After the ordinance had been adopted
the Representatives Of the Electric Light,
Telephone and Telegraph Companies all
expressed themselves as being fully sat
ished and said that their companies
would not enter protest against the en-
forcement OF the ordinance.
Another matter before council, in addi-
ton to the usual routine business, were
the appeals Of persons who had been
assessed by the High Constable with
keeping dogs. Ten or more persons
feeling themselves aggrieved at the notice
served upon them to plank up SlOO to
the borough for the privilege they en-
joyed of harboring dogs appeared and
asked to be relieved of the tax. In al
most every case they disclaimed owner
ship, and alleged that the vigilant asses
sor had assessed them with CANNES be-
longing to other parties. In this connec-
ton it is not amiss to note that one in
dividual, who has been assessed with Is
dogs failed TO appear, and it is therefore
taken for granted that he proposed to
continue conducting dog farm and to
pay for the privilege.

A Rich Mans Project.

A rich mans statement that he intends
to devote almost his entire fortune to

endeavor, but there are many other
agencies which accomplish as much good.

A gloom of sadness was cast over Som
erset Friday night when message an
nouncing that Dr. Robert q. Furst had
expired at 80 o'clock at his residence ia
Lock Haven, Pa. was received. As
noted in the HERALD two weeks ago, I1T.
Furst underwent surgical operation on
April 2ist for the relief Of an acrie attack
ofrPpen5ici;is. The Philadelphia special
ist Dr Montgomery. who performed the
operation, declared that 1t was one OF the
most severe cases he had met with in his
large practice. but he expressed the be-
lief that his patient would recover. I'm
foreseen complications developed soon
afterwards, and last Tuesday night il
became necessary % perform another
operation, which was done. The patient
continued conscious up until the mo-
ment dissolution took place.
DIR. Furst was native of Clinton coun-
ty. He was brother Of Mrs. Eleanor F.
CArothers, whose husband. DIR. J. w.
C4rothers, died in this place Tuesday
night, April 18th. He was married April
%. 1898. just one year ago. to Miss Edna,
youngest daughter of Judge and Mrs.
William J. BAer. The wedding was
notable event, as il united one of Somer-
sets cultured, refined and popular young
ladies with scion of leading Eastern
Pennsylvania family. DIR. Furst bad
graduated three years prior to his mar
riage from the Medical Department of the
University of Pennsylvania, and shortly
thereafter located at Lock Haven, where
he soon succeeded in establishing lucra-
tive practice. When a student he read
for year in the Office Of his brother in
law, DIR. Carothers, aud during his resi-
dence here became well and favorably
known to many Somerset people, all of
whom felt an interest in his welfare and
waited with deepest anxiety for words of
encouragement from his bedside. When
it became known throughout the t'wn
that he had passed into the unknown
world, expressions Of grief for the dead
physician and sympathy for the widowed
bride were heard on all sides.
Judge Baer, accompanied by his daugh
ter and son-in-law-Mr and Mrs. 4. L. G.
Hay-and by "LUter Furst and Mrs.
Eleanor +. Carothers, brother and sister
of deceased, left for Lock Haven Satur-
day morning, where they arrived in time
to attend the funeral at one o'clock Mon
day afternoon. Judge Baer returned
home last evening, accompanied by his
daughter, Mrs. Furst

Paving the Costs.


'sNo greater imposition upon the tax
payers reflects from the court records OF
Pennsylvania than the numerous cases
10 which costs are placed on the counties"
says the Philadelphia Press. Disputes
arise between neighbors, and one side or
other carries the quarrel into court. As
the outcome Of large percentage of the
actions that goes before juries-especially
with regard to bills that are ignored--the
costs of proceedings are imposed upon
the taxpayers in general, who are in no
wise responsible for the beligerent diff
culties at issue.
"In this connection it is gratifying to
note that Judge Evans, of Pittsburg, has
instructed the grand jury against the too
free assessing of such costs upon the
county. He said this course was unwar-
ranted, and referred 10 the many frivo-
lous prosecutions that had little or no
solid foundation for a district alto ney TO
build upon. The jury was advised that
where they find a suit bad been institu-
tuted with so little cause that it was
necessary to ignore the bill, then the
costs must be placed upon the prosecutor
aud not on the county. In cases where
both the prosecutor and defendant wer6
at fault, the costs, he said, ought to be
divided" {"

DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Savage Fire Brick Works Near Msyersdale
Visited by Fire Fiend Yesterday.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $50, 900.

The Savage Fire Brick works at Key
stone Junction, two miles east of Meyers
dale, was visited by a disastrous fire
shortly before noon yesterday. All of
the buildings, except the Office, which
stands on the opposite side of the railroad
track from the brick works, were destroy
ed. Two tenement houses located on the
hill top several hundred yards east of
the works were also destroyed. The loss
is estimated at $4,000. The fire is said
to have been caused by sparks from a
B. & o. locomotive falling on and ignit-
ing the roof of one of the brick sheds.
Many of the workmen had gone home
for dinner before the fire broke out, and
the flames had gained such headway be-
fore they returned that nothing could be
done to check them.
The principal owners of the Savage
Fire Brick Company are the Hoblitzen
family, of Meyersdale, who have success
fully operated the plant for many years.
j. ]. Hoblitzell is President, and W. T.
Hoblitzell, Superintendent of the eon-
Germ. The senior Mr.. Hoblitzell was in
Chicago at the time.
The works were equipped with many
pieces of modern and valuable machinery
all Of which were totally wrecked.
