would abridge the right of the citizen to
own and bear arms. If enacted into a

pendent military organization, and would
compel such civic, organizations as the
Knight Templars, Knights of Pythins,

To the “Wee-dette.”
In reply to the witticism of the above
named paper, published at Somerset, Pa ..
which last week referred to Tar STAR as
being published on the confines of Mary -
land and possibly being the Dog Star, we
wish to say that we are pleased to see
that this paper is beginning to be recog-
nized as a star of the first magnitode. |
The Dog Star, Sirius, is the most splen-
did star in the heavens. It rises and gets
with the sun. The Egyptians by its
means first determined the length of the
year, having observed that it appeared
on the horizon regularly every 860 days.
From our position on the confines of
Maryland, or the southern part of Som-
erset county, Pa,, we will continue to
shine witk peculiar benignancy on the
“*Wee-dette,” and from the light borrowed
from us, it may perhaps be occasionally
recognized in its otherwise vain “Gitu
Pango” attempt to sparkle.

Thrilling Mountain Ride.
What is known as The Flyer, the fast-
est train on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, was delayed at Cumberland a few
days ago by a wait on connections, and
lost more time climbing up the mountains
to Sand Patch. At Rockwood it was re-
ported forty-five minutes late. From
Rockwood to Connellsville is forty-four
miles. and there were no urders against
“making up” time.
So Engineer Brown settled himself in
the easiest position he could and prepared
for a run. The grade is tremendous on
the west slope of the mountain and the
curves are fearful. The speed of the
train became fast and the passengers be-
gan to take note of it.
Then it got faster and some of the tim-
id persons wished they were not on tlie
train. It got faster still and no account
was taken of the short curves. around
which the engine flew with terrific sway.
When the train reached the worst curve
on the road, which is east of Ohio Pyle,
and where ail trains are supposed to slack-
en, Brown kept the throttle open in No.
844 and his engine passed the place run-
ning on the wheels of one side.
The speed was at that point over a mile
a minute. There was actual fear among
the passengers. Some of them screamed
and some prayed, and more than a dozen
of them were thrown from their seats to
the floor. They could not get back and
remained clinging to the seat arms. No
one was really hurt, but the nerve shatter
will keep many off trains for a month.
When Connellsville was reached the
time of the train was taken. It had gone
forty-four miles in forty minutes, includ-
ing two stop.—Somerset Democrat.
Scene at the Inquest.
A verdict reminding us of the result of
the famous Ravachol trail was lately giv-
en in Texas. A man had been shot dead
in a little town on the upper Colorado.
An inquest was held on the body. The
jury examined it minutely and asked the
doctor:
“Where did the bullet strike him?”
“In the heart.”
“Just in the middle?”
“In the very center.”
“Who shot him?” ~
“Jake Daniels.”
A dozen witnesses deposed that Jake
had fired the shot, and Jake himself ac-
knowledged the fact. The jury spent
some time in consultation,
“Well, gentlemen of the jury,” said the
Coroner, ‘‘what is your verdict?”
“Your Honor, we have come to the
conclusion that Jake Daniels is the best
ocratic vote which gave him his majority;
shot in the district.”—Ex.
