Inthe mean- time regular court will convene, and final argument in the case will neces- sarily be deferred until after May court, says the Somerset Democrat. In the meantime the Penna. & Md. Co. is pushing its work right along. The engine and the dynamos for the power house arrived today, and will be at once placed in position. The engine weighs 78,000 pounds. Nine additional carloads of rails also arrived this week, which fills the rail order. The cars, too, are practically completed, and nearly everything is now purchased and paid for that will be needed to equip and operate the line from Salis- bury to Meyersdale. -— A NARROW ESCAPE. G.

Some weeks ago the Rockwood Lead- er was venting its spleen over the fact that the township supervisors of Elk Lick and Summit townships permitted the Penna. & Md. Street Railway Co. to use the public road in a few places in constructing its line from Salisbury to Meyersdale. The said sheet not only denounced the trolley company but also declared that the supervisors should be hanged by the heels. Shortly {thereafter Tur Star asked the editor of the Leader to antwer cer- tain questions pertaining to the rights, privileges and benefits of trolley roads, knowing full well that in his attempts to answer the questions propounded the editor of the Leader would make a ridiculous spectacle of himself. - The questions were answered in the Leader bearing date of April 19th, and, Lord, what answers they are! The answers would be a discredit to any school boy. We need only review a portion of Editor Werner’s answers to prove to intelligent, thinking people that none of his. answers are worth paying any attention to, for the reason that he is either very benighted in his opinions, or else gave answers that he did not believe himself. We: think the latter conclusion would be the correct one. Following are a few extracts from some of the Leader’s most elabor- ate answers: Leader: Even in the largest cities the trolleys are regarded as an inevi- table nuisance, and real estate on the streets that have them has depreciated in value, and many residence properties have been sold at a sacrifice to get away from the trolleys. In many places these trolleys have been placed overhead and in subways to get them off the streets. Comment : from the truth. Nothing could be farther To the contrary, in | the largest cities the trolleys are re- | garded as an inevitable benefit. In fact they are considered indispensable. and the statement that real estate has depreciated in value on streets that have them, is so utterly untrue as to make it sound silly. If Editor Werner thinks he can buy real estate cheaper in Pittsburg on the streets crowded with trolley cars than he can on the streets that have nocars, he can readily get rid of that delusion by taking some of his wealth and testing the matter. Many residence properties are gotten rid of for residence purposes in the thickly érowded trolley districts, but they are not gotten rid of at a sacrifice. They are gotten rid of at fabulous prices, because the needs of commerce demand the sites for business purposes, and they become so valuable that the owners cannot afford to hold them for places of residence. It is also untrue that in many places trolleys have been placed overhead and in subways to get them off the streets. The elevated lines and subways take no cars off the streets at all. They merely add additional car lines that the streets have no room for, except overhead or underneath. Leader: On the best streets in America the trolley is not allowed to come at all, such as Broad street, Phil- adelphia, for instance. : Comment: It is not true thaton the best streets in America the trolley is not allowed to come at all, and Editor Werner knew better than to try to name more thsn one of those ‘‘best streets.” Even in regard to Broad street, Philadelphia, his assertion is only partly true, for while no trolley line traverses that street north and south, it is nevertheless crossed by trolley lines from east and west at ‘al- most every square. Editor Werner must think all his readers are back- woodsmen and have never been away from home. : Will the esteemed editor now go ahead and mention some more “best streets” where the trolley is not allow- ed to come? How about Pennsylvania avenue, the best street in the National Capital? And how about the best streets in Pittsburg, Harrisburg, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and all other cities of importance? The trolley is found on every one of the best streets. But we presume Editor Werner was thinking about the best streets in Rockwood, Pocahontas and several other more or less important towns. : Leader: Our objections to the trol- leys squatting themselves upon the public highways are backed by the universal experience of other commu- nities, where they are justly regarded as dangerous nuisances. Comment: Your objections are based on no such thing. They are based on naught but mossback ideas or mere pretense, and if you would utter suck “tommyrot” in communities where they have the trolley, whether on public roads or not, the people | of the country, | quite close would ask you what section of the back woods you recently emerged from. Leader: The trolley is a high ty useful modern contrivance in its own proper place ; but its proper place is not on the rural highways and county bridges. Comment: Trolley companies do not use the public highways and bridges thereof, as a rule, except here and there for short distances, where it cannot be conveniently avoided to reach the most thickly settled portions and most farmers pre- | fer to hi ave the rural trolley lines in proximity to the publie roads: The Leader has been shedding tears by the slopbuckeétful over the awful wholesale confiscation of public roads which has at no time been attempted or thought of by the Penna. & Ma. Street Railway Co.. and if the misguid- ed editor of that paper will come over into God’s country and take a look a2 the grade, we think he will feel that he has been making himself ridiculous and trying to borrow all sorts of trouble for the farmers, who would all give bim the laugh, over this way. We could add mapy more facts to what we have already said, but space and time are too valuable to make Ed- itor Werner appear any more ridico- lous than he has already made himself appear by foolishly attacking the P. & M. trolly people and the supervisors of Elk Lick and Sarnmit tow nships. A GRAND FAKE. Such Was the Tillman Lecture in Meyersdale. of South Carolina. Mey- Senator Tillman, alias Piteh Fork Ben, lectured in ersdale, Rail- roads, Trusts and Monopolies.” The promoters of the lecture, or at least one of them, advertised in Tue Star for several weeks that Senator Tillman last Friday evening, on * would lecture on the “Race Problem,” and in that way some of the Salisbury people were fooled down to Meyers- dale, only to hear a harangue on anoth- er topic that did not interest them. The lecture on the ‘Race Problem” did not take place. because the colored population of Meyersdale and a few white “sissies” objected to it. The: weak-kneed, chicken-hearted® gentry that arranged for the lecture meekly knuckled under to colored sentiment preferring to fake and disappoint the people in general in preference to go- ing counter to the wishes of the ‘‘cul- lid” folks, whom they evidently recog- nized as their equals, and who doubt- less are the equals of such weaklings as they. We are not here to champion the cause of Senator Tillman in his crusade against the negroes, and we cannot tell to what extent we would agree or dis- agree with him, having never heard him. But we are here in the defense of free speech, on any legitimate topic: whatever, and we would like very much to hear what Senator Tillman has to say on his favorite subject. The peo- ple who want to hear him have a right to hear him, and those who are oppos- ed to his race lectures have the right to stay away and mind their own busi ness. If we would once go so far as to ar- range for such a lecture, we’d like to see the color of the negro’s kinky locks or the white man’s straight ones, the wearer of which could force us from our purpose or intehtion. If the promoters of the Tillman lee- ture wanted to change their program, they should have advertised the change in plenty of time, so that people wouldn’t be. fooled to Meyersdale to hear a lecture that failed to materialize. Most of the people from here who in-™ tended to go, got™onto the fake before starting, and very sensibly remained at home. Others, however, were made to believe that the Senator always weaves his race views into all of his lectures: on other topics, and expecting that be- would do so in this instance, they were easily roped in, only to be disappointed. An effort was made at the last mement by one of the lecture promoters to. make us believe the same’ fairy tale; but it didn’t work, for we refused to believe that Senator Tillman was sueb a coward as to sail under false colors or strike from ambush, as it were. And he didn’t do it, either. The colored people of Meyersdale can have only contempt for a set of weaklings who had arranged for a lec- ture on the “Race Problem” by one of the most virulent enemies of tke Ne- gro race, and then called it off simply because they lacked the courage to have it delivered. The colored people well know that the promoters of the: Tillman lecture are the same as Til)- man in sentiment, but too cowardly to stand up boldly for their convictions, as does the old son-of-a-gun from South Carolina.
