The Commercial and all its staff are beginning to see that Salisbury is a good town in which to own real estate. Sooner or later old Salisbury .will be the metropolis of the county. Monroe Kretchman, of near Summit Mills, son-in-law of Geo. Lowry. died last Sunday, after a prolonged illness.

Tor STAR extends its sympathy to the stricken family. P. 8. Hay is enthusiastic for electric light. That's the way all our people onght to be. Electric light is something that this town is badly in need of, and our leading citizens and business men should take immediate steps toward securing a plant of that kind. It is the cheapest, safest and most convenient light to be had. THE STAR is ready to call an elec- tric light meeting whenever our citizens desire it. ; : There should be a meeting called, and very soon, too, for the purpose of devis- passenger train for the Salisbury branch of the B. & 0. R. R. It is stated upon very good authority that the B. & O. can be compelled by law to give us a regular passenger train, and Salisbury,s citizens should take immediate steps to look mat- ters up.

Elsewhere in these columnsis an item taken from the Oakland Republican that the Salisbury sportsmen should read. We mean those who step across the line into Maryland to hunt. [t may save them not only money. but many weary days in jail. The Maryland farmers are get- ting tired of having their turkeys slaugh- tered every year by Salisbury sportsmen, who do the slaughtering, and then blow about the number of wild turkeys they kill. The Berlin Record has it that Meyers- dale, Salisbury and Hyndman will soon have trade associations working in an organized manner for the purpose of se- enring manufacturing enterprises. The Record wants to know what Berlin is going to do. Tar Star would like to know what Salisbury is going to do. This is the first paper of the county to talk up the Board of Trade idea, but if the town does not hump herself she will not be the first to reap the benefit of such an organization. > Last Sunday afternoon Yudee C.F. Winter, of Baltiniore. in company with Major John Rees and Editor Livengood, of Salisbury, took a walk out to Lije Liy- engood’s. The party meet with a first- class reception and succeeded in getting on the outside of a large gnantity of delicious pie, cake, spruce beer, milk and other things too numerous to mention. The Judge spent a large rortion of the afternoon sucking eggs, having a weak- ness in that direction, and now it is feared that the crop of young chickens about Mr. Livengood’s barnyard will be unusually small this year. Binnie Young, the 11-year-old danghter of Farmer Wm. Young, residing near Somerset, was brutally assaulted and ont- raged u few days ago while on her way home from a neighbor’s house. Her as- sailant is supposed to be Jacob Brown. an ex-penitentiary convict, who had been residing in the same neighborhood. Brown was seen in the vicinity where the crime was committed, just a little while before the little girl met her terrible fate, and since that he ean not be found. Of: ficers and citizens are in pursuit of thes brutal scoundrel, and there is a strong talk of lynching the enlprit, if he is cap- tured. It is to be hoped that he will be both captured and lynched. Mr. C. F. Winter, of Baltimore, who is interested dn several of the largest mines in this region, says he is pleased to note that THE STAR has sunk the name, ‘‘Mey- ersdale coal region,” into oblivion. He says the few mines near Meyersdale, which are known to have a much poorer coal than the mines near Salisbury, be- gan shipping what they termed ‘‘Meyers- dale coal.” But Meyersdale coal soon got a bad name in market, says Mr, Win- ter, and when the mines about Salisbury were opened, the operators soon found that their coal wonld find a poor sale in market, if shipped as coal from the so- called Meyersdaleregion. Notwithstand- ing the fact that the coal in the upper end of the region is as good or better than that of rival regions, the poorer coal mined near Meyversdale so damaged the repikation of the whole region that the mines abot Salisbury had to quit ship- ping so-called Meversdale coal and put it into market as Big Vein Cumberland coal. Therefore, the coal from the up- per end of the region now finds ready sunle in inarket, while that at the lower end has to be converted into coke to com- mand a fair price. The public sale.of town lots, in Stutz- man’s addition to Salisbury, came off last Saturday as advertised. There were twenty-nine lots in the addition and two in the built portion of the borough, all of which found ready sale at reasonable pri- ces. The fine lot on Grant street wag sold’ to Henry Loechel for $652. The one on the corner of Union and Gay streets was | sold to J. L. Barchus for $301. The best lot in the addition was sold to P. L. Liven: good for $120. . The average price of lots was something like $65. Following is a complete list of the buyers and their pur- chases: GHfE Thomas, lot No. 1; Knights of Labor, lot No. 2; H. B. Nicholson, lot No.8; Thomas Williams, lots 4,5, 6 and 7; Mrs. Emma Davis, lots 8 and 9; P. 8. Hay, lot No. 10; P. L. Livengood, lots 11 and 12; John W.

Medical Association, the following resolution was passed: Resolved. that the taking of dead hod- ies into the churches om funeral occasions is contrary to all sanitary measures and prejudicial to the health of all who at- tend, = And this association urgently rec- ommends and requests all ministers and church officers to take such action as will immediately and permanently abolish the custom.

Our sportsmen wil: have to he very careful notfto trespass on the) fields of our farmers when the hunting season opens again, as the Maryland Legislature has passed a bill which provides that anyone who shall enter the premises of any person to hunt with dog or gun, without permission of the owner of the land, shall be subjected to a fine of $5 and imprisonment in jail in default of payment.—Oakland Republican.

We are informed by the owners that owing to the large tim- ber interests which they must look after in West Virginia, they will sell the fac- tory, but not at a sacrifice. It is a pay- ing concern and no doubt will command a ready sale.—Rockwood Correspondent in » Somerset Standard. ‘‘Meyersdale is still stroagling with an electric railway projéct. The proposed- line is to extend from Meyersdale to Bal- ishury. According to the Meyersdale Register an annual revenue of 18 per cent on $20,000, the estimated cost, can be ob- tained. It is stuff like the above that gives aid and comfort to the opposition. There never has been a line run, nor an estimate made upon which to base any | calculations with even approximate ac- curacy.
