Primary Election, issued By County
c lairman ]. A. Berkey The call is

OF the Chairman TO only notify the few
saders Of the insurgent organs of the
d a'e. and to let the great bulk Of the
r publicans Of the county obtain the
in 'ormation as best they could. Not
with-tanding this latest effort on the
part Of our Chairman. we promise him
that the loyal Republicans of the eoun-

THE HERALD recently had occasion
TO call attention TO the stinging rebuke
administered by the Republican voters
of Somerset borough, Somerset town
ship and other districts throughout the
county, to the parties who have drag
ged faetional politics into our public
schools. The cause of education has
been retarded throughout the county
by the i'll advised action of those who
should not be biased ia the discharge of
their official duty, and we greatly mis-
judge the temper of public senti nent
if the movement to drive politics out of
the schools is not carried forward with
increased vigor hereafte Teachers
certificates must be given oily TO those
whose qualifications and mental attain
msnts entitle them to enter the profess
sion, and not for ulteriOr purposes. Ev-
cry teacher who has pride in his vOca-
tiOn will indorse this sentiment and
will hail the speedy return of the day
when political favor will be unknown
in the schools. Some people are skat-
ing on very thin ice.

Birthday Party.

The Edgewood Home of Rev. F. p. Say
lor was the scene Of delightful birthday
party the evening of March 20. given by
his accomplished daughter Miss Carrie
v, in honor of her twenty-first birthday.
Although the evening was very in
clement one. the presence of twenty-five
friends. some Of whom came from dis
tanee, sttested to her popularity.
The evening was very pleasantly spent
in social games. A prominent feature
was quartet sung by Misses Carrie aud
Ada and Messrs. +. p. and W. A. Saylor
Miss Carrie also sang several solos.
After an elegant luncheon had been
served, the Rev. f. P. took occasion to
m IKE few timely remarks 10 his yonng
friends in his usual happy and entertain
ing style. 1t is putting it mildly to re-
mark that the Reverend is always equal

the rascally effort that is being attempt
ed 10 gain control Of the County Com
mittee for next year. Chairman Berkey
purposes to promulgate s new party
rule and to compel all candidates for
Committeeman to announce their car
didacy with him at least twenty days
prior to the primary. Fortunately,
party laws are not made or unmade at
the dictum Of an unscrupulous chair
man, snd the election Act Of 1881 pro-
vides ample punishment for those who
attempt to vioIate them A careful Pc
rusal Of section of this Act will possi-
bly, deter Chairman Berkey from at
tempting this criminal and fcOlhardy
method Of retaining his position as
Chairman of the County Committee.
The present rules have stood the test
for some twenty-five years. and the
Slalwart Republicans of the county
will not calmly submit TO their being
violated, amended, or brushed aside by
Chairman Berkey and his friends
Candidates for Committeeman will
not be required to announce their
names with the Chsirnan-who has
no right or authority TO have their
names printed on the tieket-but viii
go about their candidacy in the usual
and customary way, and the HERALD
hereby pledges itself to see that the
votes east for them are fairly counted,
and, if they receive sufficient votes,
that they are declared elected. There
is a sufficient number Of Republicans
10 the county who believe in fair and
decent politics to see to it that their
primaries are honestly and fairly con-
Quoted and that their party rules are
rigidly enforced.

carasgis's PineEy Partner VIII Get sl5.-
600 600 Clear.

uOO,OOO Stear.
Andrew Carnegie has effected settle
ment Of the suit for milliens which his
former partner. Henry c. Frick. had in
stituted against him for the purpose Of se-
curing 3 more generous division If they
were to separate as partners
More significant, however, than the
mere settlement of suits was the an
nouncement that Messrs. Carnegie and
Friek had pooled their issues and agreed
70 go on togsfher. with reorganization
under an immense New Jersey charter
that viii put all their vast interests on a
capitalization of S25O.0o0.000.
The stocks ami bonds OF the giant new
co-poraiion-by far the greatest of its
class on earth-ara to be taken by the
present owners themselves. and not offer
ed to the public, as once contemplated.
and President Charles NJ. Scbwab will
continue as the executive head Of the new
company.
Back Of these announcements and the
interesting statement that Mr.. Frick is TO
have Sl5,00O.0O0 instead of the 81 O00.0oO
that Mr.. Carnegie offered him AS bis share
of the immense business and its profits,
are some disclosures of exceptional mag
nitade.
James B. Dill, the New York lawyer,
who brought the contending partners to-
gether, and who was formerly newspa-
per reporter, is said to have received $50
600 outright Tor this services work OF
comparatively few moments. He will
also get S25.O 600 year for ten years as
counsel for the new corporation.
When the new Carnegie Steel Company
is fact, Henry Clay Frick's per cent.
interest will represent 100000. That is
the basis of the settlement OF the dispute
between the coke and steel kings. Mr..
Frick gets 5000. 600 instead of 81. 100000.
Francis T. F. LOvtjoy has his portion of
the harvest returned to him. Both he
and Mr.. Frick will hold responsible as
well as powerful and Influential positions
with the company when il is reOrgauized.
In short, each of Mr.. Carnegie's partners
will be allowed to assume the same rela-
tive percentage OF stock on a eapitaliza-
ton of $50 OOO. 600 as they now hold on
capitalization of S25.OOO,OO0.
On this basis of $3.50, O00. 600. Mr.. Carne-
gie's holdings. 5sl per cent, will be worth
Sl46, $4,000; Henry Phipps, Jr.'s inter
est. IL per cent, $27, 500. 600, and Henry C.
Frick's, per cent. will stand him Sl5,
100000. George Lauder owns per cent,
and President C. NJ. Schwab per cent.
IL is said that Mr. Carnegie Was al yised
that a settlement of the snits with Mr..
Friek would be for the best interests of
the steel company, as it would not only
save the exposure of the business meth
DDS, but that Mr.. Friek had strong case.
The opinion in business circles in Pitts
burg has always been that the suits
would never reach trial.

Largest Verdict Ever Returned By Penn
sylvauia Jury for Personal Damages.

The trial of case before Judge BufIing-
ton, at Scranton, Pa, was concluded re-
Gently, in which was given the largest
verdict ever known in Pennsylvania.
perhaps in the United States, for personal
damages.
The case was that of John T. Martin
against the Delaware and Hudson Rail-
road Co., and the jury returned a verdict
ia favor of the plaintiff for $4,000. The
p aintif is member of the bar of Lack
wanna county. and was Injured in col
lision at what is known as the Diamond
crossing of the Delaware and Hudson
railrosd and the Delaware, Lackawsnna
aud Western railroad, in Scranton. The
accident was caused by a misunders.and-
log of signals.
The peculiar feature of the case was
that for some time after the accident Mar
tin did not know he was injured, aud he
assisted IN relieving other persons who
were hurt in the accident, but before
reaching his Office in Scranton he was
overcome by sickness and is now phys
ical wreck, being obliged to go on cruteh-
es. and is fast becoming blind by reason
of the accident.
The largest verdict heretofore in such
a case was in favor of Lewis Rosenzweig,
an attorney. of Erie, Pa, who obtained a
verdict of $4,000 against the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern railroad.

on stamp is all that is necessary. A mail

The State viii Have Fire Insurance.

The State is about 10 throw insurance
safeguards about its property scattered
all over the Commonwealth. The finan-
cial officers have addressed a circular 70
every institution owned as a whole or in
part by the Commonwealth. or that has
added to its building through State appro-
priatiOn, asking what insurance has been
placed on them. This will be asked of
normal schools. orphans schools, State
hospitals. and all charitable and ednca-
tional institutions. II has come to the
knowledge of the State authorities that
on some of the buildings little or no in
suranee has been placed, and if they were
to be destroyed they would be almost a
total loss and the State woald be asked
for money 10 rebuild Il is proposed that
all shall be insured to the limit, and in
case of destruction the loss would be lit
tie or nothing. In ease of refusal to in
sure. the matter will be laid before the
legislative appropriation committees,
which will insert compulsory insurance
clause in every appropriation bill.
