Morgan had a great pear crop this
year, about 40 or 45 bushels of the
very choicest fruit. He has been
selling sme of them, and he con
tinues to eat as many as -he can, and

W. E. Flynn, of Clatskaine, Oregon,
a man unknown to the editor, but
evidently a former resident of Frost
burg, is evidently one of the nv ter
ous loya.l Ft-osthurgers who is glad to
see a newspaper established here

delivering Frostburg from obscurity.”
Dr. W. H. Hong is being visited this

Pennsylvania. The elder Mr. Hong is
73 years old, but doesn’t look it by ten
years. He feels as good and healthy

testimony, and he attributes his good
health and young appearance at his
time of life to the fact that he has
never used either liquor or tobacco.

chastise it.” Thank you, old boy, you

Frostburger ought to be made of.
May your noble tribe increase.

can carry from 11 to 16 passengers.
It is Mr. Decker’s purpose to run the
big car to the stations to meet all day
trains and give the town a first-class
accommodation in that line.
John N. Dayman, who lives on the
Graham farm, near Frostburg, was a
welcome caller at The Spirit office last
Saturday. He cashed up for a year’s
subscription, of course, and stated
that he knew the editor’s father well
and favorably many years ago. Mr.
Dayman’s sister, Mrs. Gillian Meese,

ity busily engaged in trying to dis
cover what has become of the once
formidable Bull Moose party in the
Keystone State. Harvey Moosem
Berkley, the late absconding Somerset
conuty leader of the Bull Moose gang,
seems to have taken all of the so-call
ed Progressive sentiment out of that
county with him when he departed
quietly for parts unknown, leaving a
putrid mess and about $150,000 in bad
debts behind him.
SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
SALISBURY MAN BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST CUMBERLAND & WEST
ERNPORT ELECTRIC RAIL
WAY COMPANY.
Suit was instituted on Monday
against the C. & W. E. Railway Com
pany by Chas. Wagner, of Salisbury,
Pa., to recover damages caused by a
car on said railway company’s line
striking Mr. Wagner’s automobile on
a small bridge between Midland and
Honaconing, wrecking the auto and
giving the occupants of the same a
severe shock from which, it is alleged,
Mr. Wagner’s wife, who was one of
the passengers in the auto, has not
yet fully recovered. The accident
occurred last June while Mr. Wagner
and party were in the act of crossing
the bridge while a trolley car was ap
proaching them from the other direc
tion.
To a representative of The Spirit,
Mr. Wagner stated on Monday that
before he could get across the bridge
with his auto, he saw that owing to
the narrowness of the passage and a
short curve that caused the end of the
trolley car to swing around over the
highway at that point, such a thing
as passing it would bd out of the ques
tion. He therefore brought the auto
to a full stop, intending to back out of
the way, but was not able to do so be
fore the collision occurred. He said
that in his opinion the moterman on
the trolley car could have easily
avoided the collision, but apparently
made no effort to do so. Therefore
he decided to sue for damages, and
the outcome is awaited with interest
on the part of his friends.
The plaintiff, in company with one
of his sons, and his father, ex-Post
master Silias A. Wagner, of Salis
bury, mortored to Frostburg on Mon
day, stopping here a short while, then
proceeded to Cumberland to consult
with Attorney C. S. Watson and give
bond for the costs in the case.
Honor the Old Soldiers.
A special moving picture show will
be given for the benefit of the Veter

proceeds will be used to purchase
drums and other needed equipment.
William Jennings Badly Injured.
William Jennings, a well known
citizen of Frostburg, was badly injur
ed last Friday in the Short Gap mine,
which is operated by the Stanton—
George’s Creek Coal Company. He
was struck by a fall of roof coal or
slate and badly bruised and lacerated
about the head and body. The injur
ed man is about 35 years old and has
a wife and several children. He was
taken to the Western Maryland Hos
pital at Cumberland shortly after the
accident oow.. redH Hi. condition is
reported as somewhat improved at
this time, but he is not yet regarded
as out of danger, according to a late
statement made by a member of his
family.
Strike at Hosiery Mill.
The employes of the Parker Hosiery
Mill, of this city, walked out for an
increase of wages last Monday. The
employes number from 50 to 60, prin
cipally girls. What the prospect is
for an adjustment of the matters at
issue, The Spirit is not in a position
to say.
STRONG TESTIMONY.
