Auctioneer Calvin Fuller Suddenly
Joins the Baptists.
Our genial friend Calvin Fuller, of
West Salisbury, who is commos ly call-
ed Rev. Fuller, now has somewhat of a
right to his title, as he is reported to
have joined the Baptists, last Satur-
day, by being immersed in Flog Pond.
Calvin was cutting ice, working away
all alone, when all of a sudden he step-
ped on a piece of ice that he had cut
loose, and down to the bottom he went.

Of course it
was an immersion, just the same, and |
ever since the occurrence our long
friend can look more sanctimonious |
than ever.
We didn't think there was any water
around here deep enough to drown
long Calvin, but it is said that he sure-
ly would have been drowned if help
hadn’t arrived just as he was about to |
go under for the last time. He 5

hauled out just in time, and even as it
was it took some time to get the water
all out of him. This could only be
done by wrapping his legs three or
four times around the covered bridge
near by. letting his head hang down,
then bumping kim vigorously with the
end of a railroad crosstie. In this way
he was restored, but it was a close call.
While struggling in the water, think-
ing his doom was sealed, his mind was
greatly disturbed by the sins he had
committed, such as having voted the
Democratic ticket all his life, stealing
green apples when a boy and getting
extortionate prices for goods sold at
auction. He was so frightened by his
narrow escape that he hasu’t gone to
bed a night since without saying his
prayers, and now that he has been im-
mersed, he may become a Rev. by oc-
cupation as well as by name.

a job at driving in the mines, and on
the morning aforesaid he reported at
{he works to begin work. Before he
entered the mines, however, he met
with a horrible accident that may yet
cost him his life, although hopes are
entertained for his recovery.
Young Farner in attempting to start
a car, braced himself against a railing
around the tipple platform, which gave
way. causing him to fall backward off
the dump. He landed on top of a lot
of iron, fully 20 or 30 feet below, we are
informed. He was so badly bruised
and cut that it was thought he would
die in a short time. Dr. §peicher was
promptly called and did all that hu-
man aid could do for the sufferer, and
it is now believed he will recover, al-
though he is suffering inteusely, princi-
pally fram internal injuries.
1t will be a long time before he will
be able to resume work, but he is at a
place where he is being well cared for,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Emerick. The Emericks are kind-
hearted people, and they will'do all in
their power for the unfortunate young
man. But other people should render
some assistance, too, and doubtless
they are doing so. The poor boy needs
your help, and here is a chance for
some practical christianity, the only
kind that is worth anything. Pitying
the untortunate is all right in its way,
but pity unaccompanied with substan-
tial aid is of no avail,

also a good citizen of our town, bought
thirty Opossum, Skunk, Muskrat and
Bert Blough, who said the skins were

at Mr. Hutzel’s home in Garrett coun-
ty, Md. Later on Mr. Tedrow found
out that the skins were stolen from
Richard Glotfelty, a farmer residing
one mile east of town. He accordingly
surrendered the skins to the owner,
who in turn had warrants issued for
the arrest of Hutzell and Blough.

Our legislators met in Harrisburg on

instances. The contest was very close

Quay candidate, defeating our own
General W. II. Koontz by one vote and
it is pretty generally believed that the
one vote was bought for a large price.
However, the speakership contest

Aceidentally Shot.
One day last week while R. 8. Johns
and two young sons of Mr. and Mrs.
Asa B. Newman were out hunting, one
of the Newman boys shot at a rabbit
on the run, some of the shot striking a
rock, and glancing away one of shot
struck Clarence Newman in the flesh
beneath one of his eyes. Ever since
the accident the lad issuffering intense
pain, and at no time since, if we are
correctly informed, has he been able to
see out of the injured eye. Sight may
return to the injured member after the
swelling and irritation leave, but it is
feared that the eye is entirely destroy- |
ed. Inprobing for the shot the doctor |
has been unable to locate it. This is
indeed a sad affair, and much sympathy
is felt for the boy.
He was not in line with his brother’s
aim when the shot was fired, and the
the accident was in no way the result
of carelessness. He was about 20 feet
out of the course of the shot, but glan-
cing shot are liable to fly in any di-
rection. We hope lis sight will be
fully restored.

Carriage with Four Oceupants Goes
Over Huntsrick Precipice.
On Tuesday night while four young
men were returning from Meyersdale
in a carriage owned by Mr. Joseph Joy,
the horses took fright while coming up
Huntsrick hill, shied to one side of the
road and rolled down the precipice,
taking the carriage and its occupants
with them.
The vehicle was badly smashed, the
horses slightly skinned, and the driver,
Simon Ebaugh, was guite badly batter-
ed and bruised. The other occupants
escaped uninjured, but it is little short
of a miracle that all were not killed.
The whole outfit rolled down the bank
a great distance, and had the carriage
not caught a tree, all would have land-
ed in the river.
Tha road over Huntsrick should be
abandoned, as it is very dangerous, to
say nothing of the steep and useless
grade that could bd easily overcome by
running the road around the hill.

Good ntorning, Mr. Svar! Here we
are after an absence without leave of
almost six months. In all the wander-
ings your correspondent kept an eye
on Tie Star, and didn’t get lost, and is
now back at his old stand, and after
making a profound New Year’s bow,
will at once proceed to chronicle the
town’s happenings. ;
Somerset, as many of Tne STAR'S
readers undoubtedly know, has the
greatest elevation of any county-seat
in the state of Pennsylvania. Never-
theless, notwithstanding, it is just now
the sloppiest, muddiest, slushiest coun-
ty-seat this side of— of Windber.
Sewers are said to be sanitary to a
town. We have no reason to doubt
this, but oh! how long, how long, will it
go until our people will not require
stilts to go to the post-office?

doors of which will, it is said, be open-

that Somerset county is not on the |,

boasted “Metropolis?” Of course we
mean Meyersdale. See?
The members of R. P. Cummins Post,
G. A. R., will hold their annual banquet
at the Somerset House on the First
day of New Year and New Century.
A large turnout is expected. Capt.
Kuhn, of Johnstown. informed the Post
that he had in his possession the saddle
owned and used by Col. Cummins
when he fell on the battlefield of Gettys
burg, and if acceptable he would pre-
sent the Post with this much cherished
relic. The offer was accepted to make
the presentation on the day of the ban-
quet.

Somerset, with three National banks,
We are told that one of the book-

several days ago, took a rest on the
broad of his back in a two-inch mud
that was just about the consisteney of
good, rich cream, only that it was a

An honest, hard-working Dutchman,
who had been engaged on our sewers,
t- | was waylaid several nights ago and
six or eight dollars. The unscrupulous
scoundrel escaped, of course.
The proprietors of the Somerset
house recently excavated a large room
under their hotel and fitted up a bowl-
ing alley and billiard rooms. The
rooms are certainly fine.
Surely our people have a hankering
after sweets. The sales of candies in
this place were, it is said. unprecedent-
ed. One of our leading firms, it is said,
sold several tons of candy at retail
alone, before Christmas.
The Somerset County National Bank
has a number of workmen engaged re-
modeling the corner building recently
purchased by them. Itis said it is to
contain the finest banking room in the
county.
Dr. Ilermanus Bear, with his young
bride, has gone to New York City,
where the doctor has been tendered a
very fine position in the leading hospit-
al of that city.
An effort is on foot to abolish the
hitching posts in Somerset. This is a
good move, but before going too far in
this matter, suitable places must be
provided for the accommodation of
horses.
The County Treasurer and Commis-
sioners are busily engaged in preparing |
and setting the offices in order for the
county settlement. Assistant Treasur-
r H. F. Knepper says he is ready, and
the efficient and accommodating Com-
missoners’ clerk, J. R. Boose, says he is
always ready.
How Blacksmithing Coal is Loaded
in the Berlin Region.
The elevator at the Grace Coal Com-
pany mine, near the station, has been
completed and the fine coal will no
longer be shoveled into the cars by
hand at heavy expense and loss of
time. The endless chain carrier is
operated with the same power that
propels the vibrating screen and the
fine coal is carried to the top of a two
story building. Here it is fed into a
long cast iron trough through which
runs a stream of water that has been
elevated to the top of the building with
a huge force pump. The coal is thor-
ughly mixed with the water as it pass-
es through the trough, by means of
vibrating steel fingers, so that when it
comes out at the other end it is freed
of all impurities, the dust and lighter
portions flowing out with the water,
and the slate and bone sinking to the
bottom of the trough from which it is
emptied from time to time by an auto-
matic arrangement for tilting the
trough. The washed coal goes into the
market for blacksmithing and other
purposes where a better class of coal is
needed and brings a price to amply re-
ward for the extra trouble taken with
it. Superintendent Harper has every-
thing done to a system at his plant and
keeps the Grace mines constantly on
the push to supply the demand for the
smokeless and manufacturing-purpose
coal.— Berlin Record.

One Sheriff Who wiil Enforee the
Law Against Saloons.
So far as the law is concerned the
state of Maine is a prohibition state.
No liquor is allowed to be «old by law
as a beverage in any place or form, yet
the traffic is carried on to a large ex-
tent, because the officials are lax in
their duties or wink at violations. But
in one county there are to be no viola-
tions, if the following is an indieation
of future actions. Rev. S. F. Pearson,
who was at the fall election elected
sheriff of Cumberland county, an-
nounces this to be his policy :
“My deputies,” he says, “will be in-
structed, when they raid a liquor sa-
loon, to take everything there is be-
tween the floor and the roof, to clean
out the place and to remove all the fix-
tures.
“They will be instructed to do this
as quietly as possible, but allow no re-
sistance. 1f there is to be lead used,
they will see to it that they fire first,
“The liquor traffic must and shall
cease in this county. If the saloons are
open the first day of January next it
will be at the peril of the owners.
They will not be allowed to stay open.
“The saloon men must remember
that they must not harm a deputy
sheriff, that when they strike a sheriff

John Wanamaker’s Insurance.
The probability is that John Wana-
maker will soon lose the distinction of
being known as the heaviest insured
man in America. This will not be due,
however, to any change in his belief in
the benefits of life insurance, but be-
cause of the maturity of a large part of
his insurance, most of his policies hav-
ing been taken on the endowment plan.
His insurance aggregated $1,525,000.
Of this amount there will have matur-
ed by the end of the current year $200,-

AARON BURR'S MAGNETISM.
“No Female Capable of the Gen
Emotions Ever Locked Upon
Him Without Loving
Him.”
ime the beautiful and
brilliant Mad had been a
young girl, an Aaron Burr was
only a Captain in the American army,
she had been more than once under the
spell of Lis strange fascination,” writes
Wiliiar rine, in the January La-
dies’ Home Journal. “Burr had intro-
duced her fo the celebrated Margaret
Moncrieff, had desperately flirted with
her, and had implanted within her an
admiration which was still alive when
he was an il exile. She had
written of him in earlier days that he
appeared to her to be ‘the perfection of
manhood,’ that his figure and form had
been fashioned in the mould of the
graces, and that he was as familiar with
the drawing-room as with the camp.
‘In a word,’ she said. ‘he was a combin-
ed model of Mars and Apollo. His eye
was of the deepest black and sparkled
with an incomprehensible brillianey
when he smiled; but if enraged its
power was absolutely terrific. Into
whatever female society he chanced by
fortunes of war or the vicissitudes of
private life to be cast he conquered all
hearts without an effort ; and until he
became deeply involved in the affairs
of State, and the vexations incident to
the political arena. I do not believe a
female capable of the gentle emotions
of love ever looked upon him without
loving him. Wherever he went he was
petted and caressed by her sex, and
hundreds vied with each other inacon-
tinuous struggle to offer him some tes-
timonial of their adulation. Subse-
quently Madame Jumel was married to
Burr, who was nearly eighty and she
nearly sixty. The marriage was not a
happy one,and the two soon separated.”

Much Havoe Caused by a Lamp
Explosion.
The following news item taken from
the Lanark (Ill.) Gazett will be of in-
terest to the many people here who
are friends and acquaintances of Mr.
and Mrs. C. Rowland. The latter is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J.
Lichty, and we are glad to know that
the result of the explosion was not any
worse than the Gazette describes it.
Christmas morning was ushered in
Lanark by the loud clamor of the fire
bell, and a few minutes past twelve 7
o'clock found scores of excited citizens ;
hurrying to the residence of Chris.
Rowland, from where the alarm had -
been given by telephone. The fire,
however, had been extinguished before
the crowd got there, through the active
efforts of Mr. Rowland and members of
his family, aided by one or two of their
near neighbors, and it was lucky indeed
that it was so, for they were nearly ex-
hausted before they got it under sub-
jection, and before outside help reach-
ed them. The fire was caused by a
lamp exploding. Miss May McLucas,
who occupied an upstairs room had
gone to sleep, leaving a lamp burning.
The report of the explosion awoke her,
and with a shriek she fled from the
room; how, she does not know. Mr.
Rowland was on the scene in an in-
‘stant, but the burning oil—for the lamp
was full—had flowed over the floor and
the flames mounted to the ceiling. He
seized pillows and bed clothing and
nsed them effectively until they took
fire, then abandoned them for water
which his son Earl, Miz, McLucas and
Ed. Puterbaugh’s man carried until
tho fire was extinguished. The bed- TO
stead, mattress, springs and clothing ;
were badly burned and totally ruined,
and some of the wood work of the
room was pretty badly chared. The
papering of the room and the one be-
neath it are ruined through the com-
bination of fire, smoke and water. The
damage will probably amount to be-
