FIRE DESTROYS PUMPING
STATION AT LISTIE.
Fire and an explosion of almost
three-fourths of a barrel of gasoline |
destroyed the pumping station at the |
" plant of the Meyersdale Coal Compa-
ay at Listie recently. The pumping
station was used to pump water for
the miners and its destruction does
mot interfere with the operations of
the mine.
Jacob Fink, engineer, was hurled
through a door, landing outside the
building. + The building caught fire
from some unknown cause and before
: the blaze could be extinguished it
.eommunicated to the gasoline barrel.
The steel framework of a windmill
over the pumping station was warped
80 badly that the whole structure may
have to be torn down. The damage
amounted to about $2,500, covered by
insurance.
REFUSED NEW TRIAL.
Judge W. H. Ruppel has refused a
pew trial in the case of Albert Ray-
man vs. Klahre Bros., of Jerome.
Rayman won a verdict when he sued
to recover $2,0(0 paid on a land op-
tion, which the Klahres refused to re-
fund when he found he could not
egally mine the coal.
THOUSANDS AT
SOMERSET PICNIC.
Seven thousand people attended
the farmers’ picnic at Somerset on
Tuesday. The town was gaily dec-
porated when the mile long parade of
automobiles, wagons, carriages and
farmers’ rigs moved under the direc-
tion of Marshals L. G. Colburn, C. J.
Harris and Freeman Hoffman. At
daseball the farmers defeated the
merchants, 6 to 5, in the morning and
in the afterncon races for young and
old and contests for the children
were followed by a concert by the
Carolina Jubilee singers. !
BOOMERS RECEIVED
WITH FIREWORKS.
The Johnstown ‘boomers were de
electrical storm which broke between
12 and 1 o'clock, while they were eat-
ing dinner at the various hotels.
A bolt of lightening struck the barn
of Dr. Willis D. Fuller, veterinarian,
who was in his office in the building
at the time. He was dazed for sey-
eral minutes but was brought around
sll right by an employe, Earl Snyder,
who was also in the office,but was not
burt. The bolt tore a hole about six
feet square in the roof of the barn,
followed a cable down an elevator
shaft and rolled like a ball of fire along
the cement floor, past the office, and
«James Kemp, of the North Side, was
shocked by a bolt that followed tele-
phor« # into the house. Dr. S.J.
H. Louther was called to attend him.
While the storm raged the Reed
Band and the Rocky Mountain Quar-
tet rendered selections from the bal-
cony of the Belmont Hotel.
KILLED ON B. & O. RAIL
ROAD.
Milton Rubright, aged 19 years,
oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Rubright, of Salisbury Junction, was

train near Garrett, on the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad. He was a track
employe and stepped from an east-
train bound west. He is survived by
bis parents, one brother, Elmer, and
the following sisters:—Ida, Luella,
Laura and Mary.
The funeral services were held at
the home of the deceased’s parents
on Saturday afternoon by Elder J.
W. Peck, of the Church of the Breth-
ren. Interment was made in the

Driving in The Early
Fifties.
“The days of old, the days of gold
—the days of ’49!”’ are graphically
recalled as we read of the many fas
mous drivers, ‘‘gun’’ messengers,
highwaymen and Pony Express riders,
described and illustrated in Stage
Driving in the Early Fifties, in the
August Sports Afield, which tells of
the blazing of the trail across the
plains and mountains for the first
Southern Overland Mail Route from
Fort Smith, Ark., to Fort Yuma and
the California coast towns. As we
read, we see the great Concord coach,
with its six mettlesome horses champ-
ing at their bits, as old Billy Hodges
mounts his seat and deftly sorts out
his reins. Truly, an era of real men
and heroes, as compared to our pres-
ent cut and dried civilization. The
Fiddler—an Arkansaw story in S. De
Barnes’ best style—is of almost classic
excellence, and equally good, though
different, is In the Sheep Country, a
story of Colorado life. The fisher-
man will ind enjoyment in reading
Where the Muskies Strike, Two Suek-
ers, Drumfishing on the New Jersey
Coast, The Blue Hole, and Afield with
Moody; while every one will enjoy
listening to the ideas and ruminations
of The Man with the Typewriter. In
its editorial features the number is
especially strong. Your news-dealer
can supply you; if not, send 15 cents

street, Chicago, Ills.
