The Pulley Co. have orders ahead for about 3,000 pulleys and are running day and night shifts.—Berlin Record. Gurney Glotfelty, a former Salisburyan, but who now is a book-keeper at Dunbar, made his old home a visit last week. John Grumbly, an old-time employe of the Keystone Coal. Co., died recently in Pittsburg. He had many acquaintances here. J Last Tuesday's election in Somerset scored a victory for those voters who ad- vocate municipal ownership of water works. ? Miss Hoover, of Boynton, was awarded the cake at the great cake walk, at the hig ball held last Friday evening in Low- rv’s hall. Husband, in this county, has caught Jr. O. U. A. M. fever and is now talking of organizing a council of that powerful and honorable order. At the recent election the voters of Meyersdale anthorized the town council 10 levy a special tax to meet the expense of electric light and water. Mrs. A. D. Gnagey. Mrs. Wm. Wil- linms and Mrs. E. P. Younkin and chil- dren, all of Meyersdale, visited friends in Salisbury and vicinity, this week. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Lydia Meager to H. C. Shaw, the event to take place Tuesday evening, March 7th, at Miss Meager’s home. J. Cal Lowry, of Somerset, was in attendance at the licence court, last Sat- urday, at Squire Lowry’s office... He rep- resented the interests of Henry Loechel. The Salisbury cornet band will have a grand ball in Lowry’s hall, Friday eve- ning, March 3d. This promises to be the hest bal! of the season. See bills for par- ticulars. A history of the old National Pike will soon be in print. It's anthor is Col. Thomas Searight. The book will nn- doubtedly meet with a large sale in this locality. The Johnstown Tribune wants a new county formed out of portions of Cam- bria, Indiana, Westmoreland and Somer- set counties, with Johnstown as the County -seat. D, Compton and Miss Fanny Stotler were married last Wednesday evening, at the home of the bride's parents, in Mey- ersdale. THE STAR congratulates the happy couple. Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim Beachy, of | South Dakota, recently landed ‘in these parts for a visit among old friends. Mr. Beachy is a son of Aaron Beachy. one of Garrett county’s most respected citizens. | Samuel C. Livengood, Salisbury’s old- | est citizen, will have a public lot sale, on | Saturday, March 25th.

His suc- cessor is Will Mier. Mr. Beal made many friends while here, all of whom wish him much prosperity in his Meyers- dale home. J. B. Williams, the energetic Frost- burg marble dealer, has an ‘‘ad” in this issue. When anything is wanted in his line, it always pays to place ordegs with Mr. Williams, for he is a man of honor and well known integrity. The 530 trains that arrived and de- parted from the Broad stfeet station of the Penn’a. R. R,, in Philadelnhia, dur- ing 1892, earried 20,000,000 of passengers, the largest number ever handled at any railroad station in the U. 8S. Mr. Alexander Stutzman, of Somerset, 18 at the National house this week ex- hibiting & process of making two pounds of butter out of one and improving the quality of the article at the same time at very small cost.—Berlin Record. The Philadelphia Record recently took 67 cords of poplar wood and converted it into 34,000 pounds of paper which was to print an edition of 150,000 copies of a twelve-column paper, all within the in- credible space of twenty-two hours. James B. Cross, while working in the woods for Billmeyer & Balliet, on Mon- day, was hurt by a limb of a tree falling on him. He was cut somewhat about the head, but we are glad to learn that the wounds are not of a serious nature. Our band is still making great head- way under the instruction of Prof. Beals. A slide trombone has been lately added, which is being manipulated by Dennis De Haven, who gives great promise of making an extra good performer on thai instrument. W. S. Liehty and family departed from this fruitful land for the balmy climate of Colorado, on Tuesday.- In the depart- ure of Mr. Lichty and family Carleton loses one of her most prominet and enter- prising citizens, one whose place it will be hard to fill. The new columbian postage stamp suf- fers at the hand of the captious critics. Tt has been dubbed a ‘*rhest protector.” A local wag says the only objection he has to it is that it is so long that he runs out of tongue before he gets to the end of it. Might let his wife have a hack at it. —Ex. Here is an example of how easy it is to break New Year's resolutions: Twelve Meyersdale young ladies met on the first day of last year and vowed never to mar- ry. ‘Nine were married before seven months, and two others have breach of promise suits on hand. The other one is dead. : We this week welcome a new corre- spondent to our staff of assistant ebitors. He writes from Pipe Line and vicinity and knows what to write about. His items are of general interest and are crisp and newsy, just the kind we like to re ceive. We hope “Observer” will write often. The improvements at the popular Hay hotel, at Salisbury, of wnich C. T. Hay is the landiord, have been completed and the hotel is now one of the best equipped in tke county. The new steam heat plant makes the rooms comfortable in the cold- est weather. Mr. Hay is justly proud of his hotel. —Somerset Democrat. Mr. Alex Casebeer, of Somerset, was in town this week to see about instituting a tent of the Knights of the Maccabees at this place. . We hope his object will he accomplished. as this is.one of the best insurance orders extant and has ex- perienced a growth in the past few years that no other order of the kind can show. Milt and Cal Glotfelty returned from Illinois Friday evening, and report a most excellent time. They took a peep at the World’s Fair grounds on the return trip and report that it will ‘take at least two weeks to see the whole thing after all is completed. Many of the huildings, they say. are far from being completed. Prof. P. D. Mahony, the optician, who arrived at Hay’s hotel. last week, is an expert eve doctor in more ways than one. Several railroad men in Meyersdale can testify to this. - Mr. Mahony is one of the finest specimens of manhood ever seen in this locality. He is a courteous gentleman, bnt will not be imposed upon. Jolin Schramm, of the non-electric, gen- erally gets his Salisbury passengers in on schednle time, but he could'nt get any further than the Catholic cemetery, on Saturday evening, with a crowd of young men from Salisbury, who were going to attend the festival given by the Berkley’s Mills band, on account of the snow drifts. —Commercial. A terrible accident happened to one of Wm. Cochrane’s little children, Tuesday afternoon. While at play one of the oth- er children thrust the point of a hot stove poker in the unfortunate child’s eye, causing a most frightful and painful wound. Dr. Lichty informs us that the child will most likely lose the eye. This is indeed sad news. 1 Our old and valued friend I. D. Leydig, | of Glencoe. was in town this week shak- ing hands with his numerous friends here. His visit was a short one, but long enough to reel off his regulation amount of ready wit and harmless jokes and sto ries. Come again, Isaiah, vou old com ical and good-natured Dutchman, you are | always welcome here. The busiress man who will fool with | { dirty, dauby, rubber stamps instead of | letting a printer do a neat job for him, is | wasting time gnd losing money, in the outcome. Be businesslike, if vou are a business man. The person who attempts to do business without the name, busi- ness and address neatly printed on letter paper and envelopes, is considered ex- tremely rustic by the commercial world. —Ex. : Mr. Isaiah C. Johnson, who lives just west of town, brought to the Vedette of- fice, on Thursday, a russet apple, grown in 1891, which is now, of conrse, about two and a half years old, With the ex- ception of being a little wilted, its con™ dition is as perfect as when it was taken off the tree. It had been kept all this time in a barrel, in a dark cellar, with others. It is surely the longest-lived ap- ple we ever heard of.—Somerset Vedette. They tell a good one on Melchor Hach- man, of Boynton. Melchor, who is usually a peaceable man, recently paraded the street of Boynton, we are informed, and loudly proclaimed that he could whip any six men in that village. Some peo- ple conldn’t understand this strange tide of aff airs, but after they learned that a bran new boy arrived at Melchor’s house that morning, they no longer marveled and were satisfied to excuse his conduct. We are in receipt of some items from Mt. Nebo, wherever that is, but as th- writer does not give us his real name, we can not publish lis items. We must have the names of all our correspondents. Not for nublication, however, but asa guarantee of good faith. If our Mt. Ne- bo correspondent will let us know his real name, and inform us where Mt. Ne- bo is, we will: be pleased to send him some stamped envelopes to carry on the correspondence. Henry Heffley, of Somerset, has been appointed by Governor Pattison to fill the unexpired term of Associate Judge Pile. A strong petition was sent to the Govern- or requesting the appointment of Peter S. Hay, but it was sent in too late. Had the people here taken the matter in hand sooner. we helieve Mr. Hay, would have been the man appointed, and no better qualified man for the place could have been secured. It would have been an honor conferred upon an honorable and worthy man. Don’t suffer your children to eat snow, as there is that in the indulgence to con- tribute to the contraction ot putrid sore throat, many of the types of fever, diph- theria. etc. Aslong as parents and school teachers do not warn childrén of the danger of this practice, they will indulge in if and run the risks which it involves. There is as much malaria and germs of other diseases in a mouthful of snow as are contained in a putrid mass of ten fold that amount of any decayed vegetable or animal matter. Warn children, then, against eating snow.—Ex. The absent-minded man is at it again. He had been reading the egg story in these columns, and decided to try the trick. The first thing to do was to boil the egg. How many minutes? he asked himself, and going to the stove with the egg in one hand and his watch in the other he dropped the latter in the hot water. Then placing the egg on the table he sat down®o read until the time was up. At theend of five or six minutes he was suprised ro find the egg lying there before him, but supposing that he himself had taken it from the kettle and cooled it, he proceeded-to erack and peel it. The consequence may be imagined. Finally he missed his watch. The house was searched high and low, and it was not until the following morning that the cook found it in the kettle, where it had been boiling for hours.—New York Tri- bune. The Soinerset Vedette gave a rather unflattering write-up of the Dunkards, a few weeds ago, and Pete Livengood. of THE STAR, who was raised a Dunkard himself and speaks by the ecard, comes back at the Vedette in a column of ¢or-- rections and proves that the Dunkards are anything but the anti-progressive peo- ple the Vedette makes them out to be. The truth about the Dunkards is they are as intelligent, broad-minded, modern in their ideas, both as to dress and social customs, and as enterprising as any oth- er clase of people. Occasionally you will find an old person who sticks to the style of dress that was in vogue in his younger days, but those old-fashioned folks are not all Dunkards. We find them in all denominations and among all classes, and we will always find them. Itis in newspaper stories rather than fact that the “Dunkards are such a peculiar peo- ple.”—Berlin Record. A Popular Hotel. C. A. Bolden has just completed for Mr. C. T. Hay, proprietor of the Hay hotel at Salisbury, a first-class steam heating plant, which now makes it a ho- tel Salisbury can be prond of. This ho- tel is nicely located, comfortably heated and well ventilated. Mr. Bolden and his assistants have been testing its ‘‘grub de- partment” for a week, and they report it first-class.—Meyersdale Commercial. Tmportant Items From the yeyersdale Commercial.

March, stormy March, next, How do you like the old-fashioned winter? Wednesday | Important B. & O. Terminal Changes. There has been considerable talk late- ly of a change in the terminus of the sec- ond division of the B. &. 0. Rumor has it that it will be changed from Keyser. W. Va, to Camberland, and that trains through to the west will be run by way of the Pittsburg branch. There seems to be some truth in the ramor, as the B. & 0. officials are now contemplating the running of trains Nos. 5. 6. 7. and 8. over the Pittsburg branch. This would nat- urally precipitate a change in the termi- nus of the division to this eity. Captain Thos. Allen, general agent for the B. & O. here, was asked yesterday if there was any truth .in the report. He said that he had not heard it, but thought the change would eventually have to be made. How soon it would occur he did not know, but he thought probably some little time would elapse before it would be done. Much of the passenger trafic during the World’s fair will be run over the Pittsburg ‘branch.—Cumb. Daily News. . PUBLIC SALE!
