A DAY IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Disorder Predominated In the House last
Wednesday.
We were always undor the Impression
that It required a smart man to repre
sent this Commonwealth in the Legisla
ture, but after a day in the House we
have concluded most any nincompoop
can smoke, chew tobacco and swenr just
as systematically as some of the fellows
who help make tho laws of Pennsylvania.
Some of tho Representatives work for
the best Interest of their constituents.
We discovered that William Orlando
Smith, Jefferson county's Representa
tive, Is a worker nnd that ho has con
siderable Influence In the House. Mr.
Smith Is not noted for long and loud
speeches, but he does his work quietly,
which Ib tho ls'st way of gaining the
desired end. Ono of tho leading papers
of 1'lilladelphlu and the Pittsburg Com
me trial (latrlle count Smith In with tho
few workers. Jefferson county and her
Representative were not strangers in
the House.
Tho morning sessions open with
prayer and during tho two minute
prayer was the longest tlmoon Wednes
day that there was sufficient order In
tho House so that a person could hear
what was being said. The Speaker
would bring tho gavel down with great
force to call the House to order and al
most as soon as the echo of tho gavel on
the mnrhol had been wafted on the
breeze confusion reigned again. Paper
balls were fired promlseotisly around
and It was only stopied by the speaker
threatening to cnll the sergeant-at-arms
to take chnrgo of tho parties who were
etignged In such boyish tricks If It was
not stopped. It was not nn uncommon
thing for a Representative to vote on a
hill without knowing what ho voted for
and when Informed what It was ho would
change his voto.
Tho memltors of tho Senate are a
trille more dignified and keep bettor
order. James O. Mitchell, tho Senator
from this district, was a prominent man
In tho Senate and he looked after the
Interests of tho district. Mr. Mitchell
certainly hud considerably influence in
tho Senate. Ho was not much for
siHeches, hut ho worked. This district
need not bo ashamed of Senator Mitch
ell's work In the Senate.
The New Train.
Tho new passenger train between
Reynoldsvillo and Clearfield made its
first trip Monday. At present the train
leaves hero at 7:10 a. M., arrives at
Clearfield at 0.15 a. M.; leaves there at
11.20 A. M. nnd nrrlves at Fulls Creek nt
120 p. m.; returning to Clearfield, leaves
DuBols nt 2.00 p. M., arrives at Clear
fled at 3.45 p. m.; leaves thoro at 5.15
P. M., nnd nrrlves hero at 7.30 p. m. It
Is expected that tho noon train will
soon bo changed to run on to Roynolds
vlllo, tho terminus of tho rond. Tho
fnro to Falls Creek Is 25 cts., DuBols
30 cts. and to Clearfield $1.15. Tho
train starts from tho Company store,
but it will stop at Main street crossing
for passongors. Engineer P. II. Han
non and conductor B. D. Lavcroy havo
charge of tho train.
DuBols, Punxsutawney nnd Fulls
Creek hnvo each boon claiming their
town to bo tho terminus of tho roud.
Tho real terminus of tho Clearfield and
Mahoning road is at Jefferson lino, but
tho train nnd crow stop hero nil night
and start from Reynoldsvillo in tho
morning, consequently all tho nows
papers in tho surrounding towns may
claim their town tho terminus of tho
roud, but Reynoldsvillo has It "all tho
same." Tho editors of tho DuBols
( 'on ricr, Punxsutawney Atirs and Falls
Creek Herald may claim tho terminus,
but their readers und tho public In gonor
ul know that tho editors ure rolleving
themselves of a surplus of "boom" brag
for their townB, which holds tho quill
drivers up for ridicule.
Lost Her Pocket Book.
Miss Laura Puttorson, of Beech woods,
started to Reynoldsvillo last Saturday
with her pockot book In hor coat pocket
and tfle coat was lying on hor lap until
she came to tho tannory and thon she
put it on. When she got out of tho
buggy at Jos. S. Morrow's store the
pockot book, which contained fifty-five
dollars in cash and a deposit chock for
one hundred and twonty-flvo dollars,
was gono. Miss Patterson wont back
as fur as the tannory, whore she thought
she had tho pockot book whon the coat
was put on, but tho book was not found.
There Is no doubt but that some person
knows whore it In, and If thoy are hon
est, tho monoy will bo returned to tho
young lndy whon it Is known who is tho
ownor. The finder will bo rewardud by
leaving the pockot book and Its contents
at the STAR office. Miss Patterson Is
the daughter of a widow lady of the
Boeoh woods. '
Enterprises that Help Our Town.
Our now national bank. It has long
boon a matter of wonder to strangers
that a town of the size Of Reynoldsvllle,
with its business Interests, did not have
a national bank; and great credit Is due
to the projectors of this new enterprise
in carrying It to completion. The
stockholders are, with but few excep
tions, our fellow townsmen; all well
known and standing high in the com
munity. The ottlcers are too well
known to need any special mention here.
It Is sufllolont to say that the business
entrusted to their care will be faithful
ly and well attended to and in our ad
vertising oolumns they solicit the pub
llo patronage.

THE INAUGURAL TRAIN.
OVER THE HILLS BEHIND THE
IRON HORSE.
Excursionists Royally Received by the Cit
itens of Clearfield.
It was announced several weeks ago
that when the Clearfield and Mahoning
railroad, which connects Reynoldsvllle
and the rich old town of Clearfield by
rail, was completed that a free excur
sion train for business men of Roynolds
vllle and neighboring towns would be
run over the road. Tuesday, June Oth,
was selected as the day to run what was
called by the railroad company, "the
Inaugural train." Tho Invitations were
Issued last week after which a meeting
was called and a committee of ton ap
pointed to look after the decoration of
cars, getting badges, &o. Tuesday
morning presented anything but en
couragement for pleasant weather, but
the rain did not put sufficient damper
on tho excursionists to frighten many
out of taking the trip to Clearfield.
The train left here at 8.00 A. M. with
four coaches, threoof them nicely dec
orated. Large white banners were
tacked onto tho cars on which was
painted, In red and green letters, the
words, "Reynoldsvllle the leading town
in Jefferson county." The delegation
from this place wore pink badges with
the words, "Reynoldsvillo the terminus
of the C. & M. R'y." At DuBols four
more coaches were attached to the
train. Tho cars from there had on
large white banners with the word
"DuBols" In black letters on each car.
The occupants had white badges pinned
on their bosoms with the word "Du
Bols" on them. At DuBois Junction
three more coaches were taken on with
the Punxsutawney and Big Run dele
gates as occupants wearing Punxsutaw
ney badges. Two of tho CBrs had banners
on in big letters, "Punxsutawney the
metropolis of Jefforson county. Popu
lation 7ar.l." Tho train left the Junc
tion with eleven coaches and was an In
teresting sight to tho farmers nnd their
families. Ono old couple were sitting
on a pile of ties near the road In the
rain to see the train pass by and tho ex
pression on their faces, as the iron
horses snorted by with the long train
of coaches, was plain that they wore not
accustomed to such sights. It Is a pret
ty farming country from the DuBols
Junction to Rocton and from there
down tho Anderson creek valley Is one
continuous stretch of barren mountains
for over ton miles which havo been
robbed of the timber that once formed
a dense forest. At Curwensvillo two
more conches were attached to tho al
ready long train. The rond almost
passes over the town on a high tres
tlo. Noar the tannory and other build
ings the structure Is made of Iron so as
to protect It from fire. The mason
work at that point Is among the finest
and most substantial In the country.
Tho train left Curwensvillo with a
largo representation of the business
mon of tho above named towns, and the
Keystone band of Reynoldsvillo, Excol
slor band of DuBois, Punxsutawney and
Curwensvillo bands. It would not bo
out of plaeo to say right here, without
any braggadocio about It, that the Key
stone was the best band at Clearfield
that day and the Reynoldsvillo cars
were tho nicest decorated of any In the
train. The scenery between Curwens
vllle and Clearfield Is beautiful.
Pulling out a drawhead before get
ting into tho town proper delayed the
excursionists about twenty minutes.
The party wore heartily welcomed by
the firing of guns, ringing ot bells and
blowing steam whistles. A heavy rain
pulled into town just us the excursion
ists got there, but notwithstanding tho
shower, tho seven hundred visitors
marched up Second street to tho Court
House and broko ranks and entered the
largo court room, filling it to its utmost
capacity, many not being ablo to got
seats and others not even getting into the
room. Hon. John Patton was president
of the meeting. He made a few re
marks on taking the chair and Thos. II.
Murray, Esq., delivered the address of
wolcomo, and In an excellent address
made the visitors believe they were In
dood welcome to tho town of Clearfield.
Hon. S. B. Elliott, on behalf of tho B.,
R. St P. R'y officials, responded. Mr.
Elliott had hoped, even until the train
reached Curwensvillo, to get somo one
else to represent the company, hut find
ing no one to do so, ho proved beyond
dispute, by his neat speech, that he was
capable of representing the company
before judges, ex-judges, lawyers, physi
cians and business men of every culling.
Mr. Elliott stated on behalf of tho
railroad that there was' nothing influ
enced the company to build the road
but business, and that the capital that
built it had already stocked two rail
roads with coal and still the facilities
were unequal to the requirements. The
producers interested had no means of
reaching Philadelphia, New York, New
Jersey and New England without sub
mitting to discriminating freight rates
and were forced to seek a new outlet.
The new road, said Mr. Elliott, hit ends
to have no conflict with the people and
will have none if the golden rule is ob
served. Rev. Slattery not being ablo to be pres
ent, Lawyer C. Mitchell made the ad
dress for the Reynoldsvllle delegation.
Mr. Mitchell was not informed until the
train left Reynoldsvillo that he would
be called upon to apeak. A. J.
Trultt and William M. Fairman spoke
for Punxsutawney, R. D. Swoopo for
Curwensvillo, Wm F. Stewart for
Brookville, W. C. Arnold, L. M. Truxal
and C. F. Burnhan for DuBois, and
Hon. D. L. Krebs for Cloarfleld. The
addresses by Fairman and Arnold were
noted for the carelessness In which the
speakers handled the truth, hut as they
are both legal lights and It Is generally
conceded that followers of that profes
sion do not lack the prevaricating quali
fications little attention was paid to the
"fibs" about their towns.
Cloarflold is certainly a pretty place,
and considering the fact that they have
paved streets, electrlo lights, water
works, flno largo churches, good school
building, manufacturing establishments,
first-class stores, good hotels, a refined,'
culture, high toned and pleasant class
of citizens, makes It a town attractive to
visitors and Is conduotlve of drawing
people, whoaro looking for now location,
In that direction. Free parrlnges were
furnished for the use of visitors. The
citizens of that town succeeded grandly
in making it pleasant for all, which was
highly appreciated by the visitors. On
tho other hand Clearfield may well fool
proud of the delegation who visited
their town, and we say without fear of
contradiction that the town never be
fore had as many visitors within its
limits at one tlmo who were as sober
and behaved themselves as seemly as
did tho crowd on Tuesday. A drunken
man was not to be found In the party.
This may be accounted for as far as Du
Bols was concerned when It is known
that they loft home with the understand
ing, so we have been told, that whoever
got drunk at Clearfield was to be put in
the lock-up when they returned to Du
Bois. Tho C. & M. R'y is controlled by the
B., R. & P. R'y anil It was through the
kindness of tho officials of that road that
the train was run. Hon. S. B. Elliott,
general manager of the Bell, Lewis &
Yates C. M. Co., arranged the excur
sion and to him and tho officers of the
B., R. & P. R'y the business men of
Reynoldsvllle are very grateful for the
courtesies received.
Married at Buffalo.
Tuesday morning of last week ayoung
man of Reynoldsvllle and a fair maiden
of our town, to whom the young man
hud been acting as gallant, left here on
tho early train. We askod the young
lady whore she was going and for a min
ute she was embarassed but finally said,
"Up to DuBois." We asked if the
young man, who was thon buying tick
ets, was going along, and In answer she
said, "Yes, part way." They did go to
DuBols but only to remain a few hours,
whore two tickots wore bought for Buf
falo, N. Y. Rev. Robertson performed
a coremony in the park at Buffalo which
united J. L. Fugate and Miss Jennie
Mottor In the bonds of matrimony. Al
though Roynoldsvllle people were ex
pecting tho courtship to end In mar
riage, yet they were surprised to hear
that they had gono to Buffalo for that
purpose. Miss Mottor's parents knew
site was to be married soon and had
given their consent. The young couple
havo rented rooms and gone to house- '
keeping at Buffalo where Mr. Fugate
has accepted a position as clerk in a
store. Jennie was the only daughter
and the home at Reynoldsvllle has been
made lonely that a new home might be
establshed at Buffalo, N. Y.
Board of Trade.
Tho regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Trade was hold In the Masonic
hall last Friday evening. Hereafter
the regular meeting, tho first Friday of
each month, will be hold in that hall
until further notice. Among the com
munications rend was one from a large
manufacturing establishment that is
looking for a new location and also want
to enlarge the plant. Of course It Is
generally expected that the various
committees will do most all the work,
yet the men who are interested In the
town's future should all attend the
monthly meeting and thus encourage
the committees by their presence, there
by showing that they have not lost Inter
est in the Board of Trade. A few men are
working, while there are others who
are indifferent In the matter.
Injured in the Mine.
George Lorenz, a miner, was so badly
injured in the Big Soldier mine Monday
morning that the doctors had no hopes
of his recovery. A shot had been fired
on Saturday which loosened up a portion
of the roof and on Monday George was
standing up, the vein is about six feet,
tapping the roof to find where it was
loose when nearly six hundred pounds
foil upon him. His head was so badly
crushed that a smalt portion of the
skull had to be removed and the frag
ment raised off the brain. His nose
and upper lip were cut In two, his chin'
badly cut up and his right thigh broken
in two places. The man seems to be
getting along- nicely, all things con
sidered. Harry Kline, son of Benjamlne Kline,
and Harry Cathors, son of James Cath
ers, left Reynoldsvllle Monday morn
ing for Portland, Oregon. They
are both very young mon yet and
their only view seems to be to
"go west and grow up with the
country." They may think a number
of times that "there is no place like
home" before they become accustomed
to the cold world s unfriendliness.
