Consid- ering the weather, the attendance was large, and all present seemed to enjoy themselves hugely. Three bands besides the home band were present, viz: Citi- zens’ Cornet Band, of Lonaconing, Md., Berkley’s Mill Cornet Band and Witten- burg Cornet Band. The band from Lonaconing arrived | here on Friday and treated our town to | some of the best music ever rendered on our streets. The Citizens’ Band of Lona- coning is a musical organization that is a | great credit to the town to which it be- Its members are a jovial, gentle- all handsome, longs. manly set of young men, finely uniformed and constitute one of | the finest appearing bands that can be | found anywhere. And don’t you forget I the “Cony” boys can play. The Berkley’s Mill Band arrived Sat- urday morning, and we want to say right here that it is a musical organization that | need not be ashamed to play anvwhere. We do not believe that a better band could be found Yn any country village in this state. state, for that matter. It is a band that would be a credit to any town of 5,000 inhabitants. The members of this band are good mu- sicians and the best kind of fellows. They have the finest kind of instruments and play some difficult pieces of music. or any other They are a good band and a good-looking band. The Wittenburg Band is also a very good one for a country band. It renders music that compares very favorably with [that of many bands of greater preten- tions. Its members are also a gentleman- ly. good-looking set of young men, and have reason to feel very proud of their organization. The best kind of feeling prevails here toward all the visiting bands, and Salis- bury will be glad to have them visit the town at anv time hereafter. The success of the picnic is largely due to these visit- ing bands, for which the home band feels very grateful and stands ready to recip- rocate the favor.. NOTES. Much credit is due the Jr. Cornet Band for the harmony that prevails within its ranks. “In unity there is strength” as well as in onions. Keep on pulling to- gether, boys, and the citizens will then pull with yon. You have shown that by working together harmoniously you can get up a very good picnic, and the next time you want to get up anything of that kind, you can do still better, as you will meet with more encouragement. Meyersdale was represented by Charley Plitt and his peanut roaster, hut Charley was not allowed to do business with the machine. That was right. Charley is a good fellow and all that, but as Meyers- dale never patronizes Salisbury picnics, it would not have been right to allow a Mevyersdale man to monopolize the picnic peanut trade. We do not need Meyers- dale’s patronage, however, neither do we need Meversdale peanuts. The home hand requests TaE STAR to thank those of our citizens who =o kind- ly contributed money and other things to make the picnic a success.

The following, which we clip from the Cumberland Times, is undoubtedly con- cerning the same Frank McFadden that used to reside in Salisbury: Thomas Darnell was placed in jail at Oakland, yesterday, charged with shoot- ing Frank McFadden, at Gorman, ir sarrett county, Monday afternoon. Dar- nell is a miner and had been at work in the mines at Thomas, W. Va. Ilis home is said to be in Uniontown, Pa. Monday afternoon he came to Gorman and went to the saloon of Joseph King and asked for a drink, which was refused. He then went across the street to the store owned by Frank McFadden. Mrs. McFadden and her daughter were in the place at the time and were grossly insulted by Dar- nell. When McFadden returned home and learned of the indignities which had been offered his wife and danghter, he was angry and went after Darnell and asked why he had done so, at the same time making some threats against him. Dar: nell drew a pistol and McFadden ran awny. As he ran, two shots were fired, both of which missed their mark. In running McFadden fell. and before he Darnell fired three bullets into his body, one of which entered the groin, and in the opinion of the physi- cians will prove fatal. It required five or six men to bring the prisoner to Oak- land. could recover, See the World's Fair for Fifteen Cents.
