Last Thursday evening a sledload of Grantsville beauty took advantage of the good sleighing, came to Salisbury and registered at Hay’s hotel. The beauty consisted of the following named ladies: Ethel Broadwater, Nelle Broadwater, Nellie M. Broad- water, Mollie Dorsey, Emma Bevans, Rebecca F. Bevans, Carrie Dorsey, Maude Bevans, Mollie Blocher, Ruth Stanton, Mary Broadwater. Several Grantsville young men, of course, were with them. On Monday night a very enjoyable supper was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Loechel, for the benefit of the Lutheran church. An enormous crowd participated therein, driving there in sleds and sleighs from all di- rections. A very enjoyable time is re- ported. Last Thursday night a supper was given for the benefit of. the Re- formed church, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Engle. The crowd there was also very large, and it goes without saying that everybody present was well fed and handsomely entertained. A dose of Pine-ules at bed time will usually relieve backache, before morn- ing. These beautiful little globules are soft gelatine coated, and when moisten- ed and placed in the mouth you can’t keep from swallowing them. Pine-ules contain neither sugar nor alcohol—just gums and resins obtained from our own native pine forests, combined with other well known bladder, kidney, blood and backache remedies. Sold by Elk Lick Pharmacy. 6-1 Joshua Carpenter, a widely known Johnstown man, died at his home Fri- day of Inst week at the age of over 81 years. Mr. Carpenter was famous for his liniment, a preparation that he dis- pensed to the ichabitants of Somerset, Bedford and Cambria counties for a number of years. He was a devout temperance advocate, having been won to the cause by Hon. Francis Murphy in a crusade on Johnstown a number of years ago. The deceased was born in Bedford county, but spent most of his lifetime in and near Johnstown. He was well known in Salisbury. J. 1. JeiTery nbandoned the grocery business, last Thursday evening, and his weil known store opposite the post- office has since been purchased by George Delozier, who took charge of it today. Mr. Jeffery has not yet decided just what he will engage in next, but we wish him prosperity at whatever he goes at. To his successor we also ex- tend our best wishes. George DeLozier is an all-right young man—clever, ac- commodating and honest, and as he has had considerable experience in a grocery conducted in Altoona, Pa., by hiz uncle, we predict that he will do a successful business. We call attention to the advertise- ment of Isaiah Bare, manufacturer of granulated lime, which appears else- where in this issue. Mr. Bare operates the famous Findlay quarries, about three miles east of Salisbury, and everybody knows, or at least ought to know, that the Findlay limestone is the best limestone 1n all Somerset county. One bushel of Mr. Bare’s lime is worth two bushels of any other lime in this locality, and a trial is enough to con- vince anybody. Besides, Mr. Bare never grinds up coal cinders and other refuse with his granulated lime, as is done by some unprincipled lime manu- facturers that we know of. It is more fun to see a man read a puff on himself in a newspaper than to see a fat man slip on a banana peel. The narrow-minded man reads it over seven or eight times, and then goes around to appropriate what copies he can. The kind-hearted man goes around to the office and pays what he owes. The successful business man who advertises regularly, and makes money by it, immediately starts out to find the editor, and the two walk silently down the street, and the bus- iness man takes sugar in his’n, and they both eat a clove or two, and life is sweeter, and peace settles down on their hearts for momenis svete City Journal. H@ WEDDING Invitations at Tar STAR office. A nice new stock just re- ceived. tf. The struggle between the Baltimore & Ohio and the Wabash railroads for possession of Flaugherty Gap. above Meyersdale, appears to be one-sided, the Wabash having made no move thus far looking towards legal proceed- ings, while the Baltimore & Ohio on the other hand. is bending every energy to obtain possession of the coveted route over the Alleghenies. Friday, Koontz & Ogle, solicitors for the B. & O, petitioned the court for the appoint- ment of viewers for the purpose of con- demning lands belonging to six dif- ferent farmers in Larimer and Green- ville townships, through which the Wa- bash some time ago staked off a line. The Wabash engineers are going ahead with their work with apparent indiffer- ence to the steps taken by their rivals to head them off, and it is predicted that when they make their plans public it will be found that they have won out, says the Somerset Herald.

Y., and one of the main promoters of the Niver Coal Company in this county, was pronounced a helpless lunatic by his counsel in the Supreme court at Syracuse, when making detense to a note for $12,500, over which suit was brought for the recovery of thisamount from Mr. Niver. The ¢ourt ordered a sealed verdict in the case. As a result of the financial crash of Mr. Niver, his bank stocks were sold at public auec- tion, Wednesday of last week, to satisfy a note of $10,000 held by the Syracuse Trust Company, which included 10 shares of stock of the {Philson National Bank of Berlin, which were bought for the bank at $140 a share,and 15 shares of the Pen-Mar Supply Company stock at $5 a share, Paper the Berlin Gleaner. Horse and 1 Rider Fall 800 Feet. A most remarkable escape from serious injury or death was the ex- perience of Charles Tressler, a farmer of near Confluence, on Saturday night. Tressler had been in Confluence during the day aud did not start home until after dark. He was riding a horse valued at $200 and took what is known as the Klondike road, which skirts the Casselman river in some places at a height of 300 feet. At the highest point Tressler’s horse stumbled over close to the edge of the road, which is unpro- tected from the steep brink that drops away from it almost perpendicularly. Both horse and rider slid, tumbied and rolled down the entire distance to the edge of the river. The horse was killed. Tressler was not badly in- jured, though he was unconscious when he reached the bottom of the hill. He soon came to, however, and is none the worse for his thrilling experience. Tressler is a tenant on the farm of J.C. Lowry. Lupton R. Frantz Gets Death Shot from Policeman’s Pistol. Lupton R. Frantz, a well known troublesome character who figured ex- tensively in the criminal records of Garrett county, Md., and several coun- ties in Western Pennsylvania, died on Tuesday night, the 27th inst., as the re- sult of a pistol wound given him by Chas. Liston, a policeman at Friends- ville, Md., who had trouble with Frantz the day before. It is alleged that Frantz had threat- ened to kill the policeman, and was in the act of drawing a revolver when the policeman shot him. The shooting oc- curred in a holel bar room. Frantz was chief of police in Meyers- dale, some years ago, but he was an exceedingly bad and dangerous man. He once served a term in penitentiary for killing Peter Masey, of New Haven, Pa., and that wasn’t the only prison sentence he served. He participated in many fierce fights in his time, and at various times inflicted and received dangerous wounds. Deceased was aged 36 years, and he is survived by a wife who is said to be very beautiful and respectable. To Frantz’s credit it is said that be always treated his wife with the utmost kind- ness. He was also aman of fine ability as a sketcher, and had his energies been bent in the proper direction, he would have achieved both fame and honor.
