How- ever, his injuries are not of a serious nature, and the lad is able to be about.

Sole by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 An unknown and peculiar disease has broken out among the horses in certain parts of the county, and the veterinar- ians are at a loss as how to treat them or what is the cause of the affliction. The disease, if it might be so termed, resembles a severe attack of the heaves, with a loud rattle in throat. The animal is prostrated, and might as well be dead, as it is useless to the owner. The State veterinarian is une able to offer relief, and owners of af- flicted animals are greatly worried.— McVeytown Journal.

During the early har- vest the farm hands on the Coulter farm put several tons of hay in the ho- tel barn, and two weeks ago put in enough to fill the mow. On Monday night one of the stable boys heard the sound made by newly hatched chickens, and made a search without finding the birds. The hunt was resumed on Tues- day morning, and this time five young chickens not more than 20 hours old were found under six feet of hay in the mow. Their mother, dead, and in an advanced state of decomposition was also found. There is no doubt that the mother hen was engaged in hatching out her eggs on top of the first con- signment of hay when she was covered by the second batch that was thrown Miss May Cosgrove, our efficient and, Rev.

A very pretty wedding quietly took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Tunison Gloifelty. on Grant street, last Thursday evening, Sept. 28th, when their eldest daughter, Mildred, was married to Mr. Alvin D. Statler, the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Statler. The bride is one of Salisbury’s most estimable young ladies, and the groom is one of Salisbury’s finest young men. THE Stir joins the mamy admiring friends of the young couple in extend- ing congratulations and best wishes. The only guests present at the wed- ding ceremony were a few of the near- est relatives and frlends of the bride and groom. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. H. 8S. May, the local pastor of the Reformed church. John Towson on the War Path. J. W. Towson, reputedly a Garrett county farmer—came into Frostburg recently, and after “taking in the town,” got outside some “underholt.” Going out, he stopped in “Little 1taly,” a sa- loon conducted by Antonio Ruffo. He had often aspired to see “Big Italy,” across the ocean, but never enjoyed the opportunity to go that far So he explored the junior country, evidently with dissatisfaction. He said that he would vote for Hendrickson, or declare war—whichever Antonio chose. No- body knows certainly which issue Ruffo selected, but war ensued, and the re- sultant wreck was “frightful to see.” Judge Chambers last Saturday audited the reports made under oath, and after posting the account, found that Towson was in debt to the state in the sum of $6.90. Ruffo may not be content with his loss, but he should remember that a barrel of “underholt” at the Towson rate would cost $9,197.70.—Frostburg Mining Journal. FOR ALL KINDS OF PILES.

The groom is the youngest son of the late George Lowry, and resides on the beautiful farm formerly owned by his father, about a half mile east of Salis- bury. He is an energetic, prosperous farmer, and a young man highly es- teemed in the community. The bride is a daughter of the late Wm. Newman, of Garrett county, Md., but since the death of her father has been residing with her mother and brothers in Salisbury. She is a most estimable young woman and is highly respected by all who know her. Tre STAR joins the many friends of the couple in wishing them all manner of happiness and prosperity. A female serenading party made things lively around the place shortly after the ceremony was over, and a man at that end of town says it was as fine a lady band as he ever saw or heard, Following is a list of the mu- sicians as handed in at this office: Mrs. C. Wahl, cornet; Mrs. J. T. Smear- man, alto; Mrs. S. O. Newman, chimes; Mrs. Grant Dean, tenor; Mrs. J. T. Jeffery, accordeon; Mrs. Jane Null, bass drum ; Mrs. H. G.

Oct. 1.—The Somerset Coal Company yesterday took over the Quemahoning Valley Mining Com- pany’s property, aggregating 1,750 acres of the cream of the Jenner field. Ne- gotiations for the purchaser were con- ducted by General Supt. John C. Bry- don, and for the owners by the Somer- set Trust Company, trustee for the holders of Quemahoning Mining Com- pany bonds. The consideration named in the deed from the trust company to the Somerset Coal Company is $1, but the actual price is known to have been over $250,000 cash. With this new acreage acquired by the Somerset Coal Company, that con- cern now controls 24,000 acres in the Jenner-Quemahoning basin. The orig- inal holdings of the Somerset Coal Company in this county comprised 15,- 000 acres. In addition to this the Pennmont Coal Mining Company— which is really the adjunct of the Som- erset Coal Company’s Maryland ally, the Consolidation Coal Company—owns 24,000 acres of undeveloped minerals in Shade, Stonycreek and Brothers Valley townships. Clarence Watson, of Balti- more, is president of both corporations. In addition to the corporations named, Mr. Watson is the chief executive of- ficer of the Fairmont Coal Company, the Fairmont-Clarksburg Fuel Com- pany, and several minor mining opera- tions in West Virginia. The Watson holdings in Somerset county, it is believed, are sufficient to shut out new competition and block the efforts of the capitalists who are planning to secure a heavy tonnage for the projected competitor of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad in this region. The now defunct Quemahoning Val- ley Coal Company was organized two years ago by W. H. Ruppel, George R. Scull, Frederick W. Biesecker and Frank John. Mr. John subsequently sold his interest to the other men named, all of whom are attorneys and officers of banking institutions. FULL OF TRAGIC MEANING are these lines from J. H. Simmons, of Casey, Ia. Think what might have re- sulted from the terrible cough if he had pot taken the medicine about which he writes: “I had a fearful cough, that disturbed my nights’ rest. I tried everything, but nothing would relieve it, until I took Dr. King’s New Discov- ery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which completely cured me.” Instantly relieves and permanently cures all throat and lung diseases ; pre- vents grip and pneumonia.

The recent sale of a tract of 66 acres of land in Jenner township, this county, to the Merchant’s Coal Company, whose immense operations have found- ed and developed the town of Boswell, has led many persons in that section of the county to the belief that the company intends to open another mine in the near future. It is considered not improbable that rival operators of the Merchant Company were after the tract, in view of the price it brought. The land consisted of 87 acres, and was the property of William A. Thomas, who disposed of it for $29,000, or over $290 an acre. This is generally be- lieved to be the record price for farm land in Somerset county. It is stated that the same farm was sold eight or nine years ago, before the coal interests were developed there, for $2,200, or a little more than $47 an acre. It is pointed out that this is by no means an exceptional case, but indicates the bounds that Somerset county realty has taken since the development of the vast coal fields was started. The tract adjoins the thousands of acres of which the Merchants Company has obtained the mineral rights and is regarded as particularly well adapted for the open- ing.—Windber Journal.
