Next to Butler. Callery Junction is
the most important railroad center in
the connty, but in one way the railroads
hurt the little town. Two of the main
thoroughfares of the town are crossed
by the P. & W. tracks and several times
every day a half mile-long freight train
wiil stop in the town for long periods
of time, blockading both crossings.
A strange feature of the East Brady
bank robbery was the appearance in the
town of two gangs of tramps of three
men each, one mau of each set having
an ann off. One of the gangs was fol
lowed into Clarion Co., after the rob
bery, and arrested, but proved them
selves clear: then the officers followed
the other gang to the Vasbinder place,
west of East Brady, and think they
have the right men.
At the blacksmith shopof Grohman

stood on part of what is now the Mc-
Quistion lot. opposite Lawall's livery on
Cunningham street, and as the saying
is "followed the shop," the timliers of
the two shops lteing the same. The
same shakles were used on a man
named Mininger, a few years ago.

As will be seen elsewhere the pro

1 ' pleted. The exercises for the whole

" arranged for. But some changes may

It was found impossible by the Com

0 i printed invitations to all old Butler
"■ | county people. They seemed to be
>' scattered over the whole earth. It is
'' hoped therefore that all. everywhere,
r ~ who see or hear of onr Centennial in
1 any way or mode, will come and that
without any formal invitation.
s All the old Butler cjunty men chosen
for addresses as appear upon the pro
• gram will please drop a line as to their
; coming, for certain or not. so that if
' j cannot come their places can be filled
in time. It is hoped however that all
; named will be at the Centennial.
l " : Everything is moving along very suc
| cessfulij-. The different Committees
'• j are at work and the exercises of some of
i them defined and provided for.
Several interesting relics have already
been sent in and any amount more are
promised. The relic Committees of the
• different towns and townships are busy
1 collecting them for exhibit.
Some special Committees will likely
yet have to be appointed, especially one
. of ladies, and one to see as to vocal
f music, singing, concert*, etc., by young
girls and boys, etc.
AllG. A. R.. military, civic, school

sucker rod shop, and in the second floor
by Mr. Ifft as a storehouse for carriages.
The building was a mass of flames in a
few minutes and although the Irwin
Hose Co. soon had thre»* streams of
water playing on the building, it was
totally destroyed. The fireman did ex
cellent work in preventing the flames
from reaching the casting hall of the
Specialty works, but a few feet away.
Directly across the P. W. tracks and in
the path of the wind from the fire is
Edward Dainbacli's planing mill and
lumber yards. These also were saved
The fire lasted five hours. The heaviest
looser is the Specialty Co. which was
orsanized scarcely six months ago and
immediately started to manufacture ice
cream freezers. They anticipated a
large summer trade and had 12,000 un
finished and 18,<M>0 finished freezers in
the building, the latter ready for ship
ping. Most of these were destroyed.
They carried £2,500 insurance on their
plant.
Charles Emery had £l,moo worth of
sucker rods and pipe in his shop. Most
of these were destroyed. He carried
SI,OOO insurance.
Mr. Ifft had just stored a half car
load of buggies in the second story and
these were all destroyed. He had 1,200
insurance on the building and stock.
Estimates on the loss all the
way from *IO,OOO, to $30,000 which was
not likely more than half the latter
figure.
