The Somerset papers are quarreling because each claims to have had the best write-up of the Bare Rock railroad dis: aster. THE STAR can easily decide the matter.

Green Showalter has decided to become a resident of this borough, and as numer- ons other fellows are doing, is erecting a house in the Stutzman addition. This addition is the connecting link between Salisbury and West Salisbury, and as soon as both towns unite under one cor- poration and adopt a new name, it will be a great advantage to both places. We hope to see this accomplished at a date: not far distant. Mr. C. H. Walker, who has been post- master in Frostburg for the past 24 years, has at last been succeeded by a Democrat. Mr. Walker, was oné of the most com- petent postmasters in the country, and it was due to his great popularity that he was retained in office so long. He steps down and out much to the regret of the great majority of Frostburg’s citizens. He is a brother of our fellow townsman, Geo. K. Walker. ion, We are informed that Dr. A. F. Speich- er is going to have sky lights put into his new building and that Mr. Conrad, the well known Meversdale photographer, will use the second story of the building for a branch photograph gallery.

Salisbliry is to be congratu- lated, for there is a good opening here for a good photographer, and Mr. Con- rad is the finest artist that ever made pictures in this county. ™= The following officers for the Salisbury railroad, were elected last week, in Pitts- burg: President, J.

Hill, Vanderbilt, Pa., and Francis Burns, Baltimore. Among the Directors elected for the Berlin branch are S. C. Hartley, of Meyersdade, ane Samuel Philson, of Berlin. They are having a big sensation at Petersburg, this county. Rev. Robt. H. Singer, who had been holding a series of revival meetings in that village, made an attack upon an estimable married lady of the place, during the absence of her hus- band Failing to accomplish his ends, the rascal speedily left Petersburg, but was arrested at Lock Haven and brought back. This same would-be pious scoun- drel is said to have tried the same im- moral tactics on women at other places, apd it is believed that there will be a against him. Mrs. Alice Jeffries is the Petersburg lady whom he assaulted. Associated with Mr. Fred J. Anspach’s late visit to Salisbury, various rumors have been circulated as to a contemplated extension of the Salisbury railroad up the Casselman river, in order to secure an outlet for the development of the Ans- pach lands, at the npper end of the Elk Lick coal region. We have learned from reliable authority that the extension will not be made and the project of its fur- ther extension to Grantsville, has also been abandoned for the present. The cause of all this, we are told, is owing to the present depression n husiness enter- prises and the financial question, which will doom many to disappointment who have long waited patiently for this road to be extended, in order to bring into market properties that are claimed to be rich in minerals, timber, ete. This will be a drawhack to our enterprising towns- men, Messrs.

Last week Tue Star quoted one of the Com- mercial’s self-landatory items and erroneously credited it to the Register. It then proceeded in characteristic fashion to haul our esteemed neighbor over the coals. Of course the readers quickly saw THE STAR’s mistake in giving the wrong credit. It’s all right, but don’t do it again. —Meyersdale Register. TaE STAR feels that it owes the Regis- ter an apology, but can easily explain how the mistake alluded to occurred. It was in this way: Nearly all the items we clip from any of the Meversdale pa- pers are clipped from the Register, be- cause we always find that what we clip from the Register’s columns is reliable news. When we first started up in busi- ness in this town, we used to clip all such items from both of the Meyersdale papers as we thought would interest our readers, but somehow nearly everything we clip- ped from the Commercial turned out to be stuff that was untrue; and being de- sirous of publishing reliable news only, we have for along time been clipping scarcely any items from Meyersdale, ex- cent from the Register. Therefore, be- ing used to giving credit to tae Register for nearly all onr Meyersdale items, it can easily be seen how the mistake oc- curred that Bro. Suhrie refers to.

Considerable interest is still manifested in the matter of the election of a County Superintendent of Common Schools for this county. In our last issue we an- nounced the election of Prof. J. M. Berk- ey by a majority of one vote, but since that time it has been freely asserted that one director was present who did not vote. This fact is not, as far as can be ascertained, disputed. The result will be that the state authorities will declare that there was no election at the Directors Convention on Tuesday of last week. The school laws require the Superin- tendent elect to receive the votes of a majority of all the directors present at the convention. Prof. Berkey only re- ceived 95 votes from the 190 directors present and hence had not a majority within the meaning and intent of the law and is not, therefore, elected, The result of this will be that a Superintendent will be appointed by the State authorities to serve for the ensuing three years. Who will receive the plum is a question, put it is generally thought that neither of the contestants in the hotly fought battle at the Directors’ conventiun will secure the appointment. Prof. Groff, of the Con- fluence schools, is favorably spoken of for the position. He is competent and eligible and would make an efficient of- ficer.—Somerset Democrat. ‘Will Probably he Settled by the Court. The following action was taken by the Pittsburg Conference of the Evangelical Association of North America at their session, in the city of Pittsburg, March 16. ’93: ; WHEREAS. There exists within the bounds of this the Pittsburg Conference, a faction consisting mainly of ministers who are in open revolt against the dis- cipline and order of the Evangelical As- sociation, and whose purpose, inter alia, now is to secure to their proposed new organization all the church property of the Evangelical Association they possibly can, and WHEREAS, This conference is obligated by the discipline to preserve for the Evangelical Association all its churches, parsonages and all other property within its bounds, therefore Resolved, By this Conference that no church property. parsonage, or any oth- er, lawfully belonging to any station. dis- trict or circuit of the Evangelical Asso- ciation of North America, within the bonds of this Conference, shall be alien- ated by sale, mortgage or otherwise un- til it shall give its assent to any such sale or mortgage. It was further resolved that the above should be printed in county newspapers, when and wherever necessary. S. M. BAUMGARDNER, P. E. The Star Will do the Same.

But we will not guarantee her to be good-natured or a good cook. In case a young woman should win the prize, we will try to furnish her a husband, not promising that he will not smoke, or stay out late ‘‘at the lodge” three nights in the week. There may be a good many “ifs” in this arrangement, but marriage is a lottery at best, and many a young man or young woman takes more chances than these for the prospect of getting a partner.—Somerset Vedette.

If it is for ‘the benefit of an individual, it should be paid for. If the grocer were asked to. contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them, he would refuse. The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free advertising if the beneficiary does not, and yet it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many that a newspaper has space in its columns to rent and must rent to live. To give away anvthing for less than living rates would be as certainly fatal as for a landlord to furnish rent free.-—Press and Printer. A.
