The origin of the fire is un- known. : John Damm, of near Elkins, W. Va., was recently married at Point Pleasant and received a telegram from his par- ents. The telegram read thus: “Please accept the congratulations of the whole Damm family.” The Confluence Press is growing en- thusiastic for water works.

Lookout for important Pegmar Coal Co. items. We will soon have some news for publication that will greatly interest the reading public, and it will come from the proper authority. Tor Star does not guess at things. If you see it in THE STAR it’s so. The longest reach of railway without a curve is claimed by travelers to be that of the Argentine Pacific Ralway, from Buenos Ayres to the foot of the Andes. For 211 miles it is without a curve, and has no cutting or embank- ment deeper than two or three feet. Wilmotl’s saw mill, Jocated about three miles south of Salisbury, was de- stroyed by fire, last Friday night. Loss, about $500. No insurance. We are in- formed that Mr; Wilmoth has already erected a new mill and is again turning out lumber as though nothing had hap-. pened. - A subscriber wrote to the editor of his local paper and enquired: “What ails my hens? Every morning I find one or more of them keeled over,to rise no more.” The reply was: “The fowls are dead. It is an old complaint, and nothing can be done except /to bury them.” The members of the last Pennsylva- nia Legislature enacted a law which is not generally kpown. The act of July 9th, 1897, gives to school boards every- where in the state the right to purchase and pay for, out of the school funds, an American flag staff- and all the neces- sary appliances. The Penmar Coal Co. will erect no less than 40 double houses at their coal works, about three miles south of town. Work is about to begin on these new buildings, and we also have authority to state that it will be but a very short time until men will be put to work grading the railroad extension. Machinist Borheimer informs us that they have been experimenting at the Extract Works, trying to pump their liquor by means of compressed air, and that the new process works admirably. He says the old centrifugal pumps are to be taken out and all the pumping done hereafter by the new process. The publication of THE SOMERSET CouNTY STAR at Salisbury, Pa., was re- sumed last week with Mr. P. L. Liven- good as editor. The people of that town should show their appreciation of the editor’s efforts with a liberal patronage. Salisbury is one of the prettiest little towns in Pennsylvania. — Lonaconing Review: We want water-works and electric light in this town. We need these im- provements and we can afford them. Why remain in the old ruts? Why should a town like Salisbury plod along in the dark? . Fellow citizens and busi- ness men, our town is what we make it. It is time to waken up and become more modern and up-to-date. 3 A western merchant advertises as follows: “Any man who drinks two drachms of whiskey per day for a year, and pays ten cents a drink for it, can ‘have at our store 30 sacks of flour, 220 pounds of granulated sugar and 72 pounds of green coffee for the same money and get $2.50 premium for the change in his expenditures.” Frostburg is evidently made up of a liberty-loving people. At any rate some of her sons and daughters have ar- ranged for a great musical concert, the proceeds to be sent to the Cuban suf- ferers. They might also aid the cause of the Cubans by sendihg their “scrap- ping” editors to Cuba, where their fighting qualities could be made use of to better advantage. A patent has recently been issued for a bicycle which has no chain or gear, the pedals being used to operate an air pump, the compressed air being led to a small rotary engine, arranged about the center of the rear wheel. An air pump is placed on each side of the ma- chine, flexible tubes leading therefrom to the motor, the rods of the pump be- ing joined to the pedals. Spurt advertising, like a short-wind- ed race horse, never wins the race. Just as well move your store every three months as to do spurt adver- tising.

Mr. Harvey B: Keim informs Tur Star that his deal. with W. G. Atkinson was completed last week. By the trans- action Mr. Atkinson is now the owner of Mr. Keim’s farm, mineral ana all. Cousideration, $12,000 for the farm and $16,500 for the mineral. The purchase was a cash transaction. This is one of the largest transactions of this kind made in this locality for a number of years. Both parties to the transaction are to be congratulated. A few days ago three of Salisbury’s young “hopefuls” entered the ware- room of Statler’s store and stole there- from a lot of candy. To do the job on thorough burglar style, they first stole | a pick at H. C. Shaw’s store with which | to pry open the pail in , which the candy | was. They were detected after the | theft was committed, and upon making a satisfactory settlement were released. | Don’t try it again, boys, for you will not get off so easily if you commit another crime. Stealing isa bad and dangerous occupation. Some idea of the attention that the B. & O. is now paying to its passenger traflic may be gained from the fact that during the last eighteen months nearly eight hundred passenger cars received thorough and ordinary repairs, 696 be- | ing repainted. Nearly all of the equip- ment is new Royal Blue and most of it is equipped’ with Pintsch gas, the Pintsch light being used on local as well as through trains. The Pittsburg division needs better rolling stock, and the best trains will shortly be better equipped.— Connellsville Courier. J. W. Tate, of Bedford, has offered to donate unto the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for the erection and completion of the new Capitol, all the marble, granite and ganister rock, from his quarries, also all the sand from his banks at Tatesville coal siding, to be used in the Capitol building, gratis, no royalty to be charged on either of above materials. He gives unlimited occupa- tion of the lands adjacent to quarries and sand banks, for sidings, buildings, machinery, ete., until January 1st, 1899. — Hyndman Bulletin. An exchange very pertinently re- marks, “If a newspaper man knew how many knocks he receives behind his back, he would adopt another calling,” remarked a citizen yesterday. The newspaper man who succeeds, expects to be maligned by every law breaker, swindler and hypocrite, every lover of notoriety: who is ignored, and in fact by all persons who do not agree with him on public and private questions. The newspaper man who expects to go through life without being misrepre- sented, should make arrangements to die young. = William 8. Sherwood, conductor of a dining car on the Northern Pacific Rail- road, who runs between Minneapolis and Tacoma, claims to have traveled more miles than any other man. He has been a conductor for twenty-three years, first from New York to Chicago, then from Chicago to St. Paul, and for the past fourteen years has been in his present place. His record is three mil- lion two hundred and twelve thousahd miles; equal to one hundred and twen- ty-eight times around the world. This is remarkable, but another fact, that he has never been hurt in a wreck, is equal- ly so. A news dispatch from Hollidaysburg gays war has been declared between the Pension Examining Boards in the Twentieth Congressional district. With- in the past few months a new board has | been installed in each of the four coun- ties of the district and they have been given all the business by the Commis- sioner of Pensions old board. The old board claims that it. is the regularly appointed one under civil serwice rules and should be given the work. They have retained attor- neys to get an injunction inthe, United | States District Court and filed a formal protest with the Secre- tary of the Interior and President Me- Kinley. We would ‘like to know what was wrong in Elk Lick township, yesterday, that not half of that brand of Republi- | cans who please to call themselves | “stalwarts” supported the Republican | ticket. We would also like to know ! what was wrong with the same brand | of Republicans last year. It’s a fine] showing for “stalwarts” isn’t it? The ! same questions also apply to Salisbury | borough.

It must not be forgotten that this ‘astute clerk wanted to be the Com- missioners’ clerk ; but failing to get the job, he was filled with terrible thoughts —thoughts of “treasons,strategems and spoils.” In the language of Shake- speare, we say: “Let no such man be trasted.” What the Auditors’ clerk needs is honor and common sense. { Standard Borough and Township Elections.
