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.

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.

Twelve-Inch Lizard with n Head Like

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. Total sales
550,712.
