NEHSY [TENS GATHERED HERE AND THERE WITH AN OCCASIONAL JOKE ADDED FOR SPICE Miss Alice Beale went to Confluence, Monday, to spend a few days visiting friends there. The outlook for another year without a summer is most flattering. On the 19th inst. we had quite aflurry of snow, Our daughter Florence, who has been sick abed for nearly seven weeks, is eonvalescing, being able to sit up part of the time. Merchants mine No.1 has been leas- ed to Archie and Wm. P. Cochrane, who expect to begin shipping coal therefrom about next week. Miss Grace Hay, who had been at home a few weeks, returned to Pitts- burg, Monday, where she is taking a course at a commercial college. D. J. Meyers was kicked by one of his colts, this morning. He was struck over the eye and somewhat disfigured, but not seriously hurt. However, the wound is a painful one. Men often learn when it is too late . that they cannot afford to take sides against those who have been their best friends. “He who has most friends on earth has not one friend to spare.” Our genial and popular constable, John J. Walker, reports the arrival of daughter No. 1, which arrived at his kome on Monday last. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Walker good luck with the youngster. That $20 bill that Roy Fogle had been showing off with before the pri- mary election, didn’t happen to. be campaign money after all. But never mind, there are sensations in store that will be shown up later. Most of the farmers have stored away their sugar vessels, as the time of year has arrived when their other farm work needs their attention. The sugar crop was a good one, this year, and the quality of sugar and syrup made is ex- ceptionally good. Shine Fogle has returned from Mary- Jand, where he went immediately after the late primary election. We all welcome his return, and he has THE Star’s thanks for fwo gallons of maple syrup, a crock of applebutter and a peck of dried apples fresh from good old Garrett county. A sad report comes to us from Me- Keesport, Ia. stating that John L. Beachy, who has many warm friends in Salisbury and vicinity, has lost his sight in one eye, owing to the bursting of a blood vessel. We sympathize most deeply with John in his misfortune, but earnestly hope that the loss of one eye will not affect the other, as often happens in such cases. A Texan came up to Independence, Kan., the other day, to look over the oil fields. He proceeded to load himself with drink. When arrested he told the judge that beer was 40 cents a bot- tle in Texas, whereas in Independence it was only 25 cents. “You see, judge,” said the Texan, “I saved 15 cents every time I bought a bottle, and in these times a man has to economize.” Vos ter tuyfel mocht’s ous von’s a dale fun unser tsucker gelt nemma doot far un nei court house bowa?

In writing to have his addresschang- | ed on our books, John Kimmel, who went from here to Idaho several years ago, gives us the following interesting | bit of information: “I started from Grangeville, Idaho, for Buffalo Hump | mining district, 65 miles southeast of | Grangeville, and walked on snow $9 feet deep on the level for 60 miles. Some places it was piled up 25 feet deep. I am living under the snow, as the eabin is snowed under, and I have to go down stairs to get into it. At present the weather is fine. We have sunshine in daytime and frost at night. I expect to see nine months winter this year if I stay here until July.” Roy Fogle, the smart bar-keeper at Hay’s hotel, has been having some trouble with a poor, hard-working Italian who left $20 in Roy’s hands for safe keeping, some time age. Roy asked for and received the money while the Italian was in a high state of intoxication, but when the son of sun- ny Italy got sober and asked for the return of his money, Roy did not hand it over, but claimed that he had spent it for a suit of clothes. The poor Ttal- ian cried and swore by turns when re- lating the little confidence game to others, and this week he went toa Justice of the Peace for redress. Fo- gle, we understand, agreed to make the matter good, and he may have done so by this time. It is simply appalling what dirty tricks some people will do. On Tuesday night our Town Council accepted the resignation of Policeman J. R. Joy. The Council had informed him that the borough could not afford to pay him a salary of $60 per month at this time, and as Mr. Joy did not care to serve for less, he resigned. It is but just to the retiring officer to say that in most respects he was a model police officer. far the best that ever served regularly in this town. But the Coun- cil did right in pursuing the course it did, as the borough is badly in debt and can get as good police service as we have ever had for less money. The town will not be long without a regu- lar policeman, and even as matters are now, it will be well enough for viola- tors of the law to be careful, as they are apt to get “pinched” by a good officer in citizen’s clothes. There are more pitfalls in this town for toughs than they are aware of. eT . - AN AGGRAVATING COUGH CURED A customer of ours who had been suffering from a severe cough for six months, bought two bottles of Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy from us and was entirely cufed by one and a half bottles of it. It gives perfect satisfac- tion with our trade.—HAvYNES-PARKER & Co., Lineville, Ala. For sale by E. H. Miller. 5-1 Defective Fuse Saved Life and Property. Johnstown, Pa., April 12.—A defec- tive fuse was all that saved the weigh- master’s office, all the other works and possibly the lives of a dozen employes of the Berwind White Coal Company at Windber mines, Tuesday. The danger was first discovered when a workman found about seven pounds of dynamite under the weighmaster’s oftice. The explosive was attached to a piece of fuse which had originally been several feet long, but which had evidently be- come extinguished before reaching the cap. Investigation has ns yet revealed no cause for such an attempt todestroy both property and life. Cr en ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incidect is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: “I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improve- ment. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man, 1 know they robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at E. H. Miller’s drug store. 5-1 Boswell Rioters Sentenced. The Boswell miners who were held at the February term of court on charg- es growing out of the riot between dep- uties and miners at the coal town on January 18th, in which seven men were wounded, were called before Judge F.J. Kooser on Wednesday of last week and sentenced as follows: Andy Peckar, Mike Szacko, Theodore Dikto and John Devich, nine months in the jail; John Bosco and Tony Filip, three brothers, with Steve Mach- uch, John Malochuck and Ducinnatta Concalzo, four months each. When the men were called for sen- tence the prosecution insisted that they receive a penitentiary sentence. HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACK OF RHEUMATISM. “For years when spring time came on and I went into gardening, 1 was sure to have an attack of rheumatism and every attack was more severe than the preceding one,” says Josie McDon- ald. of Man, Logan county, W. Va, “T tried everything with no relief what- ever, until I procured a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Pain Balm, and the first ap- | plication gave me ease, and before the | first bottle was used I felt like a new person. Now I feel that I am cured, but I always keep a bottle of Cham- berlain’s Pain Balm in the house, and | when I feel any sy 1e or two ap- plications of this linime by E. H.

George Washington Gould, the sole surviver of the Mexican War in this county, and also a veteran of the war of 1861, died at the home of John B. Friend, near Beckman, a few days ago, aged about 75 years. The deceased was at the fall of the City of Mexico when General Scott in- vested it, having participated in the as- sault upon the fortress surrounding the city, and was one among those who scaled the heights to Chapultepec. When hostilities broke out in this country he joined the union forces and served throughout the war. His funeral took place on Sunday, the interment being made near Beck- man.—Qakland Republican.

It sweeps away and cures Burns, Sores, Bruises, Cuts, Boils, Ulcers, Skin Eruptions and Piles. It’s only 25¢, and guaranteed to give satisfaction, by E. H. Miller, Druggist. 5-1 Stoek Seized by Sherif. The dry goods stock of the firm of Pile & Garman was siezed yesterday by Sheriff A. J. Coleman, at the suit of the First National Bank, of this place, and others. The store has been placed in charge of C. W. Saylor, who will conduct the business until arrange- ments can be effected for a sale. Elmer Pile, of the firm, left yesterday morn- ing after telling some of his friends that he would not show up in the town again. owing to his chagrin at the fail- ure. Hargnett Garman put a sum of money into the concern about a year ago, but trusted the financial end in | the mnin to his partner, and did not suspect that matters were in a shaky condition until of late. He is doing all he can to have suflicient realized from the goods to oustanding claims.—Berlin Record. a meet all E. H. MILLER WARRANTS EVERY | > { 50c.

Below is the substance of law as to the duty of superviscrs in Pennsylva- nia, in the matter of erecting and maintaining guide-posts or finger boards at the junction of public high- ways: The supervisors shall cause posts to be erected at the intersection of all public roads within their respective townships (where trees are not conven- ient) with boards firmly fixed thereon, an index hand pointing to the direc- tion of such roads, on which boards shall be inscribed in large and legible characters, the name of the town, vil- lage or place to which such road may lead, and the distance thereon comput- ed in miles. If any supervisors shall, after ten days’ personal notice, neglect or refuse to put up or keep in complete repair, index boards as aforesaid, such supervisors shall for every such offense, forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding $10. Constables are required by law to make 8 sworn statement to each court of quarter sessions, stating whether or not all index boards are up, reporting particularly any that are not up. Marked a Burglar. Rev. A. J. Beale, formerly pastor ‘of the Evangelical church at Somerset. but now located at DuBois, had a thrill- ing experience with a burglar at an early hour last Thursday morning, but it is thought the experience of the burglar, whoever he may be, was the more thrilling of the'two. Somerseters who know Rev. Beale will remember him as being “handy with a gun.” The Reverend was awakened by a noise at one of the windows of his home, and looking out he saw a man trying to raise the window with an iron bar. As he had received a considerable sum of money the day before, and had not an opportunity to-deposit it in a bank, he concluded this was the object of the burglar’s visit. He promptly got his revolver and let fiy through the win- dow. The burglar fell from a box he had been standing on, and gathering himself up ran away. When daylight came, a trail of blood showed the course the burglar had taken, but he has not been found.—Standard. THE BEST FAMILY SALVE. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel gives instant relief from Burns, cures Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Eczema, Tetter and all abrasions of the skin. In buying Witch Hazel Salve it is only necessary to see that you get the genuine DeWitt’s and a cure is certain. There are many cheap counterfeits on the market, all of which are worthless, and quite a few are dangerous, while DeWitt’s Witch Ha- zel Salve is perfectly harmless and Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1 cures. H& WEDDING Invitations at THE STAR office. A nice new stock just re- ceived. tf. In Squire Wm. H. Hay’s Court. Squire W. H. Hay was quite busy on Swindell, of this city and Lloyd White- two Italian miners near Elk Lick mines for hunting on Sunday, and for killing song birds, they having two birds in their possession when arrested. They gave bond for a hearing on Mon- day, and the justice fined them $25 each for desecrating the Sabbath, and $5 each for the birds in their posses sion, which they paid together with rhe Costs. They also arrested two boys at Ehlenville on the same day for shoot- ing, and these Squire let off with a fine of $1 each, and a reprimand There has been a great deal of complaint lately about the shooting on Sunday about the mines, and the constables are determined to stop it. After the suicide of W. P. Saylor, when relatives came here to look: after his burial and his belongings,. they found that someone had taken away all his carpenter tools. that Ben, Livengood and E. HE. Craw- ford were seen carrying them away, and a search warrant was taken out, and the premises of Livengood search- ed, and some of the tools found, but Livengood getting word of the faet, had skipped out. Crawford was arrest- ed as an accessory to the: faet, and was placed under bonds to appear at court. The tools have been about all reeover- ed now, some of them having been taken to various other places, and par- ties returning them when the facts be- came known.—Meyersdale Republican.

Ellsworth Cook, 24 years old, was ar- rested Sunday morning, at Garrett, charged with exploding dynamite in- side the borough and with intent to kill. The information against him was made by Miss Elmira Rile, 17 years old, a daughter of a well-known resident of that place. It is alleged that Cook front of the Rile residence. The force of the explosion broke every window pane and the table dishes in the Rile house, and shattered the window glass in several residences adjoining, in ad- dition to tearing away several rods of the Rile front fence. The explosion occurred shortly before midnight and, following swiftly upon the clash be- tween the strikers of the Garrett Coal Company and a lot of Italian miners, in which two of the latter were roughly handled, threw the town into a tur- ‘moil, which continued until morning. Young Cook was at once suspected of having caused the explosion, and a warrant for his arrest was placed in the hands of Sheriff A. J. Coleman. He gave bail before Justice of the Peace McKenzie for his appearance. It is said that Cook is badly smitten with Miss Rile, and that a week or two ago, when he was given to understand that his attentions were no longer wel- come, he threatened to injure her in some way. Since then Miss Rile re- ceived two or three anonymous letters, one containing threats against her life, and Saturday morning an unsigned letter threatening her was found pinn- ed on the front door of the Rile domi- cile. All of the letters, it is alleged, were written by the same hand, and Cook is charged with writing them, says a dispatch to the Pittsburg Times. TEN MORE LICENSES GRANTED AND FOUR ARE REFUSED.
