Last week the Meyersdale Commercial
made a big ado about ite circulation rat-
ing in Rowell’s American Newspaper Di-
rectory, and tries hard to make it appear
that: its circulation exceeds that of all
other county papers, except the Herald.
It admits, however, that the only paper
that gives figures in the directory is the
Standard, and that's just where the rub
comes in. The circulation of the Biand-
ard was rated in the directory as per the
publister’s report; which may be correct
and pay not be correct, as a newspaper
man is just as. Hable to make a misstate-
ment to the publisher of a newspaper di-
rectory fis to anyone else. We helieve,
however, that most newspapers make cor-
rect reports, and we do not in the least
doubt that the Standard has a circnlation
0f 1,100, as the directory givesit.
a very small circulation for a County gent
paper as old and as good as the Standard.
We wonld have adjudged it to exceed
that, but we: will bet a four-doliar dog
that the Commercial doesn’t have that
large a circulation. As no figures appear
in the directory for anv of the other pa-
pers, it is a plain case that their circula:
tion ratings had to be guessed at, and
guesses are not reliable. The Commer-
cial, as we are led to believe on good au-
thority, takes about 4th place in circula-
tion among the Somerset county papers.
It is true, asthe Commercial says, that
TRE 8TAR wasn’t established soon enough
to get.a rating in ‘this year’s directory.
and so far as its editor is concerned, he
will never go to 1he trouble of having his
paper rated in Rowell’s directory. The
average newspaper directory isa delusion
and a humbug, as thousands of publish-
ers can testify to. and we h:uve had all
the dealings with Geo. P. Rowell & Co.
that we desire, ' We can get along very
well without him or his so-called directo-
ry. If the Commercial can get any con-
solation out of the Rowell directory, it is
welcome to it. ‘but we know one thing.
and that iz ‘that no other publisher in
Somerset county would trade business
with the Commereinl for a good deal to-
boot. But as Bro. Smith jays, may we
all prosper. 5

UNDER THE WHEELS,
Sad Accident on the Salisbury Railroad.
On Tuesday a sad accident ocenrred on
the Salisbury railroad, which resulted in
the death of Thomas Morgan,” 8 son of
Benjamin Morgan, the coal operator who
has a mine near Boynton.
The affair reported to THE $n i is
as follows: The unfortunate young man
was riding from Meyersdale to the mine
on one of the empty gondolas, which
were ahead of the engine and being pushed
up to the various mines of the upper end
of this region. He was sitting or leaning
up against the gide of the car, near its
end, and when the train was a little on }
thi side of Keystone mines, the front
brakeman noticed some cattle on the
track ahead of the train and signaled to
the engineer to slack up. The signal
was obeyed and the cattle got off the
track; but as the engineer went to in-
crease the speed of his engine again, the
cars received a sudden bump, and young
Morgan was thrown forward and fell
down between the cars with fatal result,
part of the train passing over him, cnt-
ting his body in two parts and severing
his right arm from the body.

day a stranger stopped at the house and
