Celebration of tho One Hundred rind 1'lrst Annlvorsnrr of tho Coming of the Itcvnolds I'ninilv to This Kccion Special to the Scranton Tribune. Kattoryvllle, Sept. 1. Just one hun dred and one years ngo four Intrepid white iiwn enme to this country und decided to brain the Mivnees nnd wild lentts of the forests (for this section of the country was uncivilized then); when nlpht was made hideous by the liowlliiK of wolves and the screaming of the panther, when the whiz of nn mtow from the Ihiw of an Indian mnde the hair of the white man stand up stralRht. as It passed In close prox imity, while he was tilling the soil. Such were the daiiRcrs and hardships that the frontiersmen had to pass through, when these three brothers, George, Solomon nnd I'hlncas Rey nolds, and their fnther, Habest, set tled on different tracts of land In this locality, built their houses or huts of logs with bark for the roof and n bear skin for a door. This was the Intro duction nnd beginning of the now pros jieious and noted Reynolds family Into till? country. Today the many descendants of these forefathers met In the prove on tho campus of Keystone academy and In commemoration of the dead, celebrat ed the one hundred and first anni versary of their settling In this coun try. About one hundred persons were In attendance, nnd the day was spent In renewing acquaintances and social chats. At noon two commodious ta bles were set with delicacies of the season, and such palatable dishes as our mothers used to cook. Mr. W. N. Reynolds, jr., acted ns secretary, nnd Hon. 'V. N. Reynolds ns presi dent. A registry nnd brief history of each one present was obtained by the secretary, and at 3.30 o'clock a busi ness meeting was held nnd the follow ing olllcors wore elected for one year: President, Hon. W. X. Reynolds; vice president, E. S. Hinds; secretary. W. X Reynolds, Jr.; treasurer, K. C. Rey nolds. Factoryvlllo was decided upon ns. the place of holding next year's meeting, the place and time being left for the ofTicers to decide. Following the business meeting, speeches wore made by Hon. W. X. Reynolds nnd Rev. "V. J. AVatklns. The reunion was ii'nde an annual affair by a vote of those present, and next year three or four hundred Reynoldses and thflr de scendants are expected to be present, when a fine entertainment will be ar ranged. Thf Reynolds family are a. very large family, in fact the largest in this coun try, they being qulto extensively con neried with the Gardners and Capwells which are also very numerous, a queer ii'cldent In the families of Reynolds nnd Capwells being that six Reynoldses married Cnpwell girls, but no Cap wells married any Reynolds girls. The oldest Reynolds present nt the reunion was Mrs. Joan Reynolds, previously Joan McCracken, wife of the late Farnam Reynolds, of West Xicholson, 6he being SO years old. CHILD'S MUTILATED BODY. Is Pound I'lonting ill the Susquehanna nt Will.os-linrre. Vilkes-IHrre, Sept. 1. At about 2:15 o'clock this afternoon two little boys named Thomas and George Darrah, who were playing about the river near Itoss street, saw an object floating in the water and securing a pole fished tho object In to shore, where it was found to be the body of a prematurely born child. Tho body was wrapped in n piece of muslin and that In turn in a newspaper. The body is that of a girl liahy and is about six Inches long. It is in a good state of preservation and had not been long In the water. The head is badly discolored and hIiowe a scar which was evidently In Jllcted by a sharp Instrument. Cor oner McKee nnd Chief of Police Urlggs have been notilled but there is no clue ns to where the body came from. BOLD BURGLARY AT P1TTST0N. Nervy Thieves Muter u House He twucu 8. HO nnd U p. in. Pittston, Sept. 1. An audacious hurglary was perpetrated at Pittston last evening. The audacity of it lies in tho fact that it was committed be tween 8.30 nnd 9 o'clock before most of the family had retired. For the past lew days carpenters have been work ing about the residence of Ellas Jones, on Parsonage street, and they left tho ladder near the houso when through work yesterday. The thieves evidently saw their chance and by the aid of the ladder entered tho upstairs of the house. At tho time Mrs. Jones was working in tho pantry, her daughter was playing the piano and Mr. Jones was sleeping. The Intruders opened trunks and bu reaus, completely ransacked them and left the contents lying In confusion about tho floors. They tvero obviously after plunder costly but cosily port able arid they succeeded in getting $88 In cash, a gold watch, ft sliver shaving cup and razor. They did not carry oft any of the Inrgcr pieces of property, although they thoroughly searched all the rooms. Tho burglary was not dis covered until Mrs. Jones and her daughter went upstairs to retire about an hour later. SUQAR NOTCH MIND CAVE. Quito nn F.xtcmlvo Fnll nn Mondny Which Thwart Inquiry. Wllkcs-Rarrc, Sept. 1. Tho Mnfllt mlno nt Sugar Xotch, opernted by tho Crescent tfoal company, which had been "working" for a couple of days, caved Monday afternoon. Although nobody has since been Into tho mine to Investigate tho cave, the danger being too great to permit an entrance, It Is said that It is quite extensive. Tho portion of the mlno caved is In tho east side and extends to within about 300 feet of tho foot of the shaft. There arc three veins affected tho Red Ash, tho Ross and 'the Marsdon. One gangway which was being worked Is said to bo Involved In tho cave. It Is thought thnt tho cave extends over an area of nbout 300 feet. IIALLSTEAD. Our public schools reopened on Mon day. T. II.

OLD SUSQUEHANNA'S LATEST CURIO Twelve-Inch Lizard with n Head Like n i'rog, Porpolsc-Lilcc Noso nnd Other Characteristics Suggestive, of Strong I)rlnl(--l)thcr.cvs nnd Cos sip from Our Northern Neighbors. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, Sept. 1. Farmer "Wil son, of Great Bond township, drew up from his well, In the water bucket, a most curious reptile. The thing, which looks something like a huge lizard, Is about twelve Inches long, nnd is of a dark brown or leaden color, with' dull yellow spots over the entire dody. It has a head llko a frog, Is white under the throat, and Its breathing holes are situated in Its upper Jaw, In the same manner as a porpoise. It has four legs and a large fiat tall nbout tho same length as the body. "With this tail it can propel itself through the water at a very rapid rate. It Is by some sup posed to be a trlton or water rewt, but Wilson says that If It is removed from the well, the well will go dry, as It's mission is to keep the springs open.and they generally go In pairs. THE NEWS RECORD. In Great Pond, on Thursday, an al lied aggregation of Scranton, Syracuse and Great Bend players dubbed the Great Pond club, downed the Susque hanna club two games. Tho morning record was 12 to 4; the afternoon, 10 to 7. The conduct of the crowd at these games during the two games would have been a disgrace to a trlbo of Sioux Indians. It Is a mistake to send missionaries to India when a riper field Is so much nearer home. The Great Rend club camo to Sus quehanna on Saturday afternoon, and the home club downed them, 21 to 11. In view of the indecent actions of the crowds attending the games In Great Bend, Manager McMahon, of the Sus quehanna club, may cancel the remain der of the dates with' the Great Bend club. The celebrated ex-Cuban Giants, of New York, will play a game with the home nine, In Beebe park, on Wednes day afternoon. The corner stone of the Susquehanna Presbyterian church will bo laid on Thursday, September 9. Several prom inent clergymen of the Lackawanna Presbytery will be present. Rev. Shas. Lee, of Carbondale, will preach the ser mon. GREATLY EXAGGERATED. A woman at Stevens' Point on retir ing to bed the other night saw a large anake crawling along Just above her head. The reports that her screams were heard over in Wayne county, fif teen miles distant, Is an exaggeration. They were heard only as far as the ad Joining township, a distance of not more than thirteen miles and a half. This habit of exaggeration should be frowned down. THE SHORT OP IT. The funeral of Jacob I. Skinner, an aged resident of Oakland township, occurrtd on Monday afternoon, with In terment in McKune. Quite a number of Susquehanna and vicinity young men have Klondicltls, in a chronic form. A goodly contingent of vicinity young people have hied them to the hop fields at Otsego county. After a shut down of several months, the Susquehanna Shirt factory resumed operations on Monday. Susquehanna will be well represented at the five county firemen's conven tion In Athens, September 2, 3. The Susquehanna club has won 14 of the 17 games played this season. There's nothing small about that per centage. HELP TO SUPPLY THE WANT. Late statistics show that 213 Penn sylvania towns are without news papers. If those communities are equipped with the usual quota of gar rulous women, who chase the streets before their breakfast dishes are washed, to gather up, magnify and dis seminate the gossip and slander sew erage of the night before, the absence of a newspaper will, In part, be sup plied. HEARD ON THE BOULEVARD. S. S. Tooker. of New Mllford, was In town a few days since, exhibiting a six pound cannon ball, caught by him, red hot from the cannon, before It touched the ground, at the first battle of Bull Run. Mr. Tooker will probably be engaged by the Susquehanna ball club. Our State Senator Hardenbergh failed to catch the Republican nomination for Auditor-General, but dollars to doughnuts that he will get some nice plum later on. Mark the prediction. Five and six foot rattlesnakes are being killed hereabouts with charming regularity and a club. The sweet songsters are exceedingly plentiful this season. Camp meetings are being well attend ed this year. The world Is growing better. The prospects are that owing to the excessive drought early In tho season, and to tho presence of a now-style bug, there will not be enough cucum bers in Susquehanna county this year to glvo one able-bodied man a decent attack of colic. AN UP-TO-DATE STEER. Farmer Thomas Morgan, of Sum mersvllle, Is the owner of a steer that pumps, by the use of its horns, all tho water It drinks. When taken out of tho burn tho steer makes straightway for the pump. By placing one horn on tho pump handle and forcing It down, and then changing and placing its horn underneath, forcing tho handle up, it gets enough water to satiety its thirst. It pumps from eight to ten strokes without stopping. IN OLD SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY. On Saturday, C. E. Voss was appoint ed postmaster at Auburn, Four Corners, vlco P. C. Busline!!, removed; and B. D. Reynolds was appointed postmaster at South Gibson, vlco D. E. Holmes, re moved. The annual Wheaton family reunion was largely attended at the old home stead, In Jackson, on Saturday. A camp meeting is in progress in Snyder's Grove In South Gibson. George McCrog, tho noted Montrose h.aloonlst, has made thirty-six ascen sions this season, nnd been picked up for dead but once. He has a high old time. Tho Susquehanna Association of Unlvcrsallsts will meet In Brooklyn, September 8-9. The new Women's Christian Temper ance Union In Herrlck Centre Is in a flourishing condition. It Is disseminat ing considerable temperance literature. The Dlmock camp meeting, now In full blast, will close on Thursday. The annual parade of the Montrose Flro department will bo held September 16. There Is said to be a county cam paign In progress, but, up to date, no body hns caught even a glimpse of It. With the revival of business, there appears to be an Increased demand for postage stnmps. Even tho burglars are breaking Into cross road postofllces In Susqunhanna county to secure a sup ply. A USEFUL GOBBLER. Tho following evidently true story Is borrowed from tho Montrose Repub lican: "Mr. White, of Auburn, Is the possessor of a remarkable gobler. The hen turkev, having loft her wn nest and taken forcible possession of a hen's left her own nest eggs exposed. Tho gobbler, however, saw the necessity 1W action and assumed the place of the mother turk, bringing off tho brood of young ones In due time. He attended them until relieved by Mrs. White, who gave tho young brood to n hen that had Just "come oft" with hers. A fine combination, truly. One hen becomes step mother to a brood of turkeys, the gobler becomes father to a second brood of turkeys, while the hen turkey clacks ahead of a brood of chickens. RAILROAD SCRAPS. The Erie Railroad company proposes to strictly enforce the antt-tlcket-scnlplng law, which was passed by the last legislature of New York. Detec tives will be pleased as Shohola and places In New York State where ticket scalping Is practiced. In a few days tho Erie will Issue cir culars announcing a change In the method of dealing with employes. Un der the new system an offender against the rules of the road will be given a demerit mark. Bulletins will be posted in prominent places stating the facts concerning the accident, who is to blame, why and how It might be avoid ed, etc. When an employe receives several demerit marks he Is discharged. The plan Is In operation on several leading roads. ALL SORTS. Even the dear ladles understand the Interesting game of base ball played In the Susquehanna, Carbondale and Honesdale newspapers. It Is quite evident that several Sus quehanna soloists mistake screaming for singing. The American Agriculturist tells how to prevent a dog from killing hens. Another good way is to shoot the dog Just before purchasing the hens. A Blnghnmton newspaper alludes to "a lady's skeleton." How's a fellow going to distinguish a lady's skeleton from a woman's skeleton? The most unhappy feature about the Jail bird Is said to be Its inability to fly. The New York Tribune says that "gunpowder and sulphur will curel mange upon dogs." Another sure cure Is gunpowder and shot, applied with a gun. A man named Spider Is playing ball In Blnghnmton. He ought to be a dandy fly catcher. If you lie down tho world will drive out of Its way to go over you, but If you stand un and look severe it will give you half the road, at least. A tramp weighing but sixty pounds was in town yesterday. He Is what the bicyclist would call a "light road ster." A Susquehanna county newspaper in recording an accident In a mill, an nounces that "the deceased was blown to pieces and Instantly killed." It was very thoughtful of tho editor to add the last two words of the sentence. WHITNEYl THE MARKETS. Wnll Stroot Itoviow New York, Sept. 1. The Indications from today's market were that prices generally would have suffered a ma terial reaction had it not been for the stimulating effect of the sensation al advances shown by Individual stocks. Buyers were evidently possessed by a fut or of speculation and the difficulty of moving the prices of the most of tho leading railroad shares led to those se curities being comiiaratU'ely neglected. Stocks concerning which some favor able prospect were reported, but with out definite details and not backed by authority were chosen as tho favorites In the speculation. Tho sensation of the day was the Jump In the price of Omaha, the stock touching 82V& in the final transactions. Tho extreme rise was 10 points, and the net gain a point less. The stock was not exempt from depression which weighed on the grangers nnd In fact on most of the railway list during the early part of tho day and It sold down Vi from last night's close. By one o'clock it had recovered the loss and gained over two points additional. But In little moro than nn hour of the latter part of tho day the prlco mounted seven points and was In full tide of the advance when dealings ceased. The, trading was attended by great excitement and the pauses in the advance were only momentary and at wide changes. The rise was duo to a belief that the stock will shortly be placed on a regular dividend basis, tho size of the pro posed dividends forming the subject of the excited spjculatlon.
