The following item from Confluence
[last week appeared in the Somerset
Standard:
“Where, oh, where is the mighty Salishury
band: the famous band composed of all profes-
sors: the champion of Somerset county that
| wiped up the Confluence cornet band and hasn't
| yet got done blowing about it. and has been itch-
i ing to get hold of the Meyersdale band and vie-
| timize it, then the Marine band and a few others
| before it satisfies its greedy thirst for blood?
Where, oh, where was it on the 4th when it was
to be at Somerset? We hear a rumbling noise
that sounds as if coming from the boots of Tur
STAR, that finally assumes the shape of articula-
tion and says “busted.” Oh, what a glorions
rest: no more sleepless nights for all the other
bands in the county: they can now lie down and
sleep peacefully without having ugly nightmares
in which they imagine a master of might bring-
ing such strains of music as would charm the
heart of a grindstone, and waking up at last to
find it was but a puff of wind started by the mov-
ing of that heavenly body, THE STAR. Now we
hear the mournful “busted, busted: the fate of
all things composed of wind alone.”
The Confluence item quoted reminds
us of one of Aesop’s fables, in which
he speaks of the death of the lion, the
“king of beasts.” While he was alive
his enemies feared to attack him, but
when he was dead all manner of insig-
nificant beasts came to wreck vengeance
on his lifeless carcass. Even the ass ap-
peared on the scene and pelted the lion's
head with the feet that would have fled
from the “king of heasts” when he was
vet alive. And in this same manner has
the long eared quadruped from Conflu-
ence acted. But we do not want any of
our readers to think that the Confluence
band is in any way responsible for the
item in the Standard. The following
letter from the manager of the Conflu-
ence band clears that organization of any
blame that may have been laid to the
members thereof:
CONFLUENCE, PaA., July 22nd, 1893.
Eprror Star: —In this week’s number of the
Standard appears an item from Confluence con-
cerning the- Salisbury band, which we are in-
formed has dishanded for the present. The im-
pression may have been created that it is the
doings of the Confluence band. T take the liber-
ty to say that it is not. The present members of
the band were entirely ignorant of the article
until it appeared in the Standard. To the one
who wrote the article belongs the responsibility
| and to no one else. Had the band known it be-
fore it was published, it would have protested
against its publication. B. A. FICHTNER,
Manager Confluence Band.
| In conclusion, Tor Star will say that
[it is customary even among enemies (we
| mean among civilized enemies) to show
| a certain amount of honor and respect to
at certain times. It
| tomary only among savages of the low-
| est type to attack a foe that has ceased

into a band contest, let him report to

long enough to do up any other band in
this connty; then, after dividing the
spoils, the grand old band can again dis-
band and slumber peacefully on, if‘it
wants to. We have money to wager that
it can effect a temporary organization,
practice a few hours and beat any other
| band in the county in a contest. We be-

the past seasons it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon Dr. King's

in effecting rapid cures not only in cases

gives some light on the subject that may
interest some of out readers. Here it is:
A gentleman who has a ‘elear recollection of
affairs at Salisbury in the fifties, tells us that
about the year 1853 a blacksmith located at that
place and erected his shop on the outskirts of
that town. It was not long after he had settled
down to business that very good counterfeit

in the year 1859, some children were playing in
the building and upset the tub. Imagine their
surprise when from the bottom of it rolled a
number of quarters such as Mr. Engle recently
found. In high glee the children ran home with
their find, which at the time created considerable
excitement. Different tests were applied to the
pieces of coin, but only the scale told that they
were spurious. This discovery having been
made, one of the pieces was cut in two and it
was found to be made of very hard metal re-
sembling brass, and neatly plated with pure sil-
ver.
With this evidence before them the people of
the town readily came to the conclusion that the
blacksmith shop of six or eight years before was
in reality the workshop of a counterfeiter, and a
very expert one at that; but he had gone and
the people knew not where. The quarters re-
cently found in the.old stone fence were prob-
ably placed there many years ago by the maker,
or may be by one of the few men who seemed to
be very closely associated with the blacksmith.
And. by the way, one of these men is still living
at Salisbury.
In connection with thismatter THE STAR
will state that its editor secured of
the coins recently found by Mr. Engle
and applied a test to it. The quarter was
cut in two and found to be made of met-
al resembling pewter. When applied to
a hot iron, it melted as readily as lead. |
