Whits Caps" on Trial.
The readers of The Star are ac
quainted with the facts of the "White
cap" episode in which A. A. Swab and
John Davis, of Rathmel, were accused
of having participated. This is the
first "white cap" case ever tried in the
Jefferson county courts. Three indict
ments were preferred against these two
men, "pointing fire-arms, riot and con
spiracy." Pointing fire-arms was taken
up first and the jury returned a verdict,
"not guilty," but to pay one-fourth costs.
In the charges of riot and conspiracy
they were found not guilty and county
to pay costs.
The general impression -.coins to bo
at Rathmel that R. M. Spanirler
"squealed" on the "white caps" and was
Instrumental in getting Snyder to have
Swab and Davis arrested as part of the
gang. John Davis' father had Spangler
arrested as an accomplice. Spangler is
charged with riot and conspiracy. His
case will not come up until next term of
court. It is claimed that Spangler did
not accompany the "white caps," but
that he is the originator of the whole
affair.
A Sad Accident
A very sad and shocking accident oc-
cured on a saw mill near DuBois last
Thursday forenoon. The victim, James
M. S peers, was well known in Reynolds
vllle as he lived here a number of years
ago. Tho mill was cutting shingles and
Mr. Spoors stopped in front of the circu
lar saw to brush the sawdust away from
under the saw and a tooth of the saw
caught In his felt hat and his head was
drawn against the saw and cut in two.
His head was cut down to the loft eye
brow and back to the nape of the neck.
Mr. Spoers lived an hour but was un
conscious. The deceased was married
to a daughter of Rev. Saral Miles, of
Ansonville, who was pastor of the
Prescottvllle Baptist church when his
daughter was married. Mrs. S peers Is
a sister of Mrs. David Reynolds, of this
place. James McKlnloy Sneers was a
consistent member of the Baptist church
and was a member of the) American Me
chanics. S peers was sawing lumber for
Chas. H. Presoott, of Cleveland, Ohio.
The funeral services were held at
10.00 A. M. Sunday at Mr. Speers' late
home in DuBols, and were conducted by
Rev. Dean, of Rathmel, and Rev. 8,
Miles, of ' Ansoavlllo, father-in-law f
deceased. Notwithstanding the fact
that the weather was disagreeable the
funeral train that followed the remains
to Prospect cemetery was a long one,
almost sixty oonTeyaboes. -
A Big Delegation.
The present bituminous coal strike
would be a big bonanza for country ooal
banks if they were allowed to put out
ooal without being molested, but in this
section, at least, the miners protest
against such business. ' It has become
an open secret that the A. V. R'y Co.
expect to get all the coal they want
for their own use from the country
banks along the line. There are two
banks located four or five miles below
Reynoldsvllle that; have been loading
ooal for the company.;' The owners of
the banks have been warned to stop
work, hut demand for all the ooal they
can nut but, at a fair price, is one of the
uncommon events with the country
banks, and henoe they are not in a
hurry to shut their banks, and in fact
paid no attention to the striking miners.
Thursday afternoon , the men at this
place decided to form a line of about
two hundred and march down to Camp
Run and Fullers and, if wt peaceably
then forcibly, persuade the owners of
those banks to stop shipping ' coal.
The crowd gathered on the ball ground
and when ready to start there were. 467
in line, headed with two tenor and a
bass drum. A large flag was unfurled
and the crowd moved towards Camp
Run. Most all the Hungarians and
Italians in town were in the procession
and most all armed, Ue IWlans with
knives and Hunariaas' wi ;i rt volvers.

Sandy Lick Creek Overflowed.'
It is not an uncommon event for the
Sandy Lick crock to overflow its banks
in the neighborhood of Reynoldsvllle,
In fact the people expect it at least onoe
a year. The heavy and continued rains
of last week resulted in Inciting the
Sandy Lick to swelling until its bed
would not and could not contain it and
the waters thereof overflowed the low
lands along the stream. A number of
houses in Wont Rcynoldsvillo and a
halt dozen in Reynoldsvllle were In
undated. On the south side of town
the small creek was transformed into a
raging river. The R. & F, C. track
from just below the Main street bridge
almost to the oompany store was cover
ed by two or three feet of water. The
C. 3c M. passenger train, which lays at
DuBois over Sunday f could get no far
ther than the Main street station Mon
day morning.
The damage from the flood In this
place was not very great. Of course
the bouses . that the" water ran into
were somewhat damaged by the mud
and dirt. Most all the gardens along
the section overflowed war 4estroyed,
A washout just on this side of Fullers
station came very nearly dumping the
Driftwood' accommodation i into the
creek Monday morning. ' The west
bound train due here at 7.40 A." if,
was held here on account of the wash
out until J1.55 a. ft. i A number of
people were waiting on this train to go
to court aa witnesses, plaintiffs, de
fendants and attorneys in a case to he
tried at 9.00 A. if.., A few of them drove
to Brookville, somq walked and oihera
waited on the train. The railroad
bridge, east of the Brookville tunnel was
swept away by tne mad waters, and
passengers have to be transferred
through Brookville, a distance of two
miles. "

DOCTRINAL VIEWS.
Kev. E. Lewis Kslley's Statement to the
Church Council.
1 believe in God. the creator nf this
universe, who is so ltorwovep in Nature
that it is a partial revelation ot himself.
X believe that the Scriptures, as we
have them to-day in the original, are
the best and most complete revelation)
of God. The stronirest proof to me that
tho Scriptures are a Divine revelation
Is tho record of the fulfillment of proph
esy. Another proof of almost equal
strength is the high character of the
moral teaching, and its power over the
lives of men to-day.
I believe that the Scriptures are lnr
spired. That Is I believe that then
was a special Divine influence upon: the
minds of the Scripture writers by virtue '
of which tholr productions, apart from
errors of transcription, and when right
ly interpreted, together constitute aa
Infallible and sunioiont rule of faltH anal
Eraetlce. This allows no room foe the
nllef that reason Is a souren of r nota
tion of God, but its true office is to seek
for the right Interpretation of the t sr
latton that is given In the Berlpturws.
I believe that God Is Spirit. Infinite
and perfect, the source, supixirt and end
of all things. He is a Spirit, (Jh. 4: 24)
"God Is Spirit." "Ho is the living God4
(.lor. nr. id). He has personality, fie is
the great "I AM;" (Ex. 3: 14). "Aad God
said unto Moses I AM THAT DAM: and
he said. Thus shalt thou saw unto the
children ot Israel, I AM bath sent me
unto you." He is infinite, (Psa. 145: a)
"His greatness Is unsearchable" He is
Immutable. (Psa. 106.27) "Thou art
the same;" (Mai. 3: 0) "I the Lord
change not;" (James 1: 17) "With whom
is no variableness, neither sbsdow of
turning." He Is the God of. Perfection, in
that He is the God ot Truth, (John 14: 6)
"I am the truth;" in that he is the God
ot Love, (I John 4: 8) "(God is Love;"
and in that ho is the God of Holiness,
(Ex. 10: 11) "Glorious In holiness" (Is.
: 3) "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of
nosts." ito is tne soureo lor "He is
from everlasting to everlasting" (Ps.
IN): 3), and (I Kings 8: 27) "Behold
heaven and tho heaven, of heavens can
not con t ul n thee." He ts omnipresent,
that is he is everywhere. (Ps. 1311. 7-12)
"Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
or whither shall I floe from thy pres
ence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou
art there: if I make my brd in hell, be-
noiu, tnou art mere, ll 1 lake tne
wines of the morning and dwell In the
uttermost parts of tho sea; even there 1
shall thy hand lead we. and thy right
hand shall hold mo. If I say, Surely
the darkness shall cover me; even the
night shall be light before me. Yea,
the darkness hiileth not from thee: but
the night shlnoth as the day: the dark
ness and the light are both alike to
thoe. He is omniscience, that is he
knows all things, (Hcb. 4: 13) "Neither
ts there any creature that Is not mani
fest in his sight: but all things are nak
ed and opened unto the eyes of him
with whom we have to do." He is '
omnliiotcnt, that ia he has power to do ,
all things that are objects of power,
(Eph. 3:20) "Now unto him that Is able
to do exceeding abundantly above all
that we ask or think;" (Matt. 10:26)
"With God all things are possible."
Ho is at the end of all things In that in
his relation to His moral beings Ho
exhibit that perfect standard of Truth,
Love and Holiness which Is the ideal
pattern for us.
I believe that holiness is the fundi
mental attribute of God; He must be
holy rather than a God of Love.. -
I believe that thcro are in the God
head three eternally distinct persons.
that these three persons are equal, ana
that while there are three persons
there is but one essence.
I believe that God has decreed every
event In this universe, past, present and
future to be as it was, is or snail rje,
(Is. 46: 10,11) "Declaring the end from
the boginning,.and from ancient times
the things that are not yet done, ssylpg.
My council shall stand, and I will So all
my pleasure: Calling a ravepqus bird '
from tho East, the man that sxouutetb
My counsel from a far country, yea, I
have spoken it, I will bring is to 'pass:
I have purposed it I wlU also doF it."
So that ' Creation, Preservation and
Providence are but the execution of the
decrees of God. .
I believe that there are good' and evil
angels. That at the first they were.ail
created good, for God saw everything .
which he had made, and bohold it was '
very good. That some of them have
fallen and some are yet in their original
state, good. ' Those that have fallen are
called angels of evil, or the devil and '
his angels; while those that have pre
served their' innooenoy are called
angels of light, or angels of God.
f believe that man in his original -state
as created by God was free from
all sin. He was created in the image
of God. This is the ground of the uni
versal fatherhood ' of ' God, and the
brotherhood of man, and it is also the
ground of the . possibility of salvation
for fallen . man. I helievo that , the
human race is ail generated from one
original pair. I believe in the Tradu
clan theory of generation.
I believe that in man's moral nature
there are the powers of oonscienoe and
will.' That conscience Invariably makes
right decisions according to the law
that it has before it as a standard. ' I
believe that oonsolettoe ia the voice of
God in the heart, and as such is always
on the side of right. Conscience not
only decides what la right, but it goes
farther and says that the right ought
to be done, or the wrong ought to be .
avoided. The office of , the will Is to
choose between motives' and to direct
the soul in Its subsequent activities ac
cording to the motives thus ohosen, .
I believe that in Adam, as our natural
head, the whole human race fell. (Rom.
5: 12-10) "For through the disobedience
of one many were made sinners. So
that there are none that doeth good,
no not so much as one;" (Eph. 2: SP'We
were all by nature children of wrath,
even as the rest" So that in oonse-
Jiuenee ot our fall in Adam, death phyo
oal and spiritual was inourred on the
race. This spiritual death Involves a
separation from God. Bo that there re
mains no hope of reconciliation on tho
part of man. ' Paul recognized this
when he said, "O wretched man that I
ami who shall deliver me from the body
of this death?" (Rom. 7; 24). "That
which ts born of the flesh is flesh."
I believe that the Lord Jesus was the
Son of God manifest in the flesh. I
