well known here and all over Jeffor
son county. He has beon cngnged
somewhat in the lumber business for a
number of years, and at tho present
tlmo there is a mill and timber tract in
Paradise Settlement that was his prop
erty. It had been reported that Mr.
Strauss had poor health, but his friends
here had no idea tho end was so near
and were, therefore, surprised to learn
of his death.
Died Saturday.
Matthew Reynolds, brother of Sam'l
Tilton Reynolds of this place, and
Mrs. R. M. Fugate, of near Rathmol,
died at the home of the latter at 6.00 a.

years, 5 months and 28 days. Dropsy
and organlo heart trouble were the

born on the old Reynolds homestead at
Rathmcl and was well known In thU
section. A wife and four sons in Pitts

wore held in tho M. E. church at

sadness of his death.
Fire Friday Morning.
At about 3.30 A. M. Friday tho people
of this place wore awakened by the
ringing of tho fire alarm boll. Night
watchman' Adlespergor discovered fire
In the Hotel Bulnap restaurant and
gave the alarm. Had it not beon for
the discovery made by Mr. Adlesperger
it may be possible that lives would have
been lost in the hotel, for the inmates
were all sound asleep and the fire fiend
was rapidly creeping to the main part
of the hotel. Then, bad it not been for
the excellent water works of this town,
the hotel would have gone up In smoke
and flame and other buildings would
have been devoured by the flamos, and
a big conflagration have been the result.
Our noble fire boys worked hard In the
battle against smoke and fire until they
gained the victory and confined the fire
to the restaurant, billiard parlor and
hotel barn; the barn la built on the
alley facing Fourth street. A one-story
addition was built to the restaurant
during the summer which extended
along side of the barn with an ioe house
attached onto it. This was used for a
billiard room. The restaurant and bil
liard room were gutted and second story
of the barn, with the mow of hay, were
destroyed. Mr. Dlllman put the loss
at over (4.000, with no Insuranoe only
on the billiard table.
Daniel Norrls Dead.
On Tuesday of last woek, January 7th,
18(10, Daniel Norris, third son of Robert
Norrls, of Paradise Settlement, died at
tho home of his parents after a ten-day
struggle with typhoid fever. Ho hnd
three homorrhngos of the bowols and
tho third ono robbed the above homo of
an obedient Son and an affectionate
brother. Tho deceased was born in
Paradise Settlement on tho 31st of
October, 1800, and was, thorcfore, 29
years, 2 months and 7 days old. Funer
al services wore hold at the Zlon C. P.
church at 2.00 p. M. Thursday, conduct
ed by Rev. II. G. Toagarden, of Ollve-
burg. The P. of H. of Paradise, of
which the deceased was an active and
honored member, hnd charge of the
funeral services. The church was too
small to accommodate tho largo con
course of friends and neighbors who
wanted to witness the last sad rites over
tho remains of ono whom they hold in
high esteem. Tho funeral procession
was tho largest ono seen In thnt section
for sometime; there were about seventy
five conveyances In line. Tho last
words spoken by tho deceased was: "I
am going homo."
Mnry Norrls, sister of the young man
whose death is chronicled in this
article, who was convalescing from a
severe attack of typhoid fever and had
only been out of bed a week, was so
shocked by the death of her brother
thnt she lost her reasoning faculties.
The doctors think as she gains bodily
strength her reason will return to her.
The home of Robert Norris is now a
very sad one.
Passenger Train Wrecked.
The eastbound passenger train that is
due here at 1.00 P. M., was wrecked
near Camp Run Monday by a broken
rail. The engine and baggage car re
mained on the rails but the two pass
enger coaches jumped off, ran on the
ties some distance and then landed in
the ditch on the upper side of the track.
The passengers were well shaken up
and badly frightened but all escaped
without Injury. Had the coaches gone
off at the other side down the embank
ment at that place a scene of horror
would have been the result. The cool
headed engineer Frank Richardson hod
hold of the throttle and he stopped the
train as soon as possible. Samuol
Lauck was conductor of the train. The
engine was uncoupled from the wrecked
cars and run to Reynoldsvllle for an
extra coach which was taken to the
wreck to haul the passengers to Falls
Creek to make connections with other
roads. Tho train was about one hour
late getting to Falls Creek. The west
bound passenger train, due here at 1.42
P. M., was held here until the track
was cleared at Camp Run. Very little
damage was done to the wreoked cars.
Line Man Injured.
W. S. Selden, of Waco, Texas, who
has been employed on tho telephone
line Blnce Christmas, received an Injury
while at work in Prescottville last
Thursday forenoon which will lay him
up for a time. Solden was rifting a
telephone pole, one end of which was
on a saw-buck, and his ax slipped and
cut an ugly gosh in his right leg near
the knee-cap. He is at Hotel McCon
nell, whore W. C. Pricott, superintend
ent of tho telephone line, had him taken
and is leaving nothing undono that
would add to the comfort of the injured
man. We wore in to see Mr. Solden
Saturday and found him smoking a
olgarotte and a pilo of books and papers
on his bed. He said ho was living on
the "fat of the land." Mr. Solden's
wife came to Reynoldsvlllo Saturday
evening and Is now looking after bis
wants.
February Elections.
Tho third Tuesday in February, tho
day on which cities, boroughs and town
ships in this Commonwealth elect their
oflkjers, fulls on the 18th of tho month
this year. Tho ballot reform act of 1803
provldos that "Certificates of nomina
tion and nomination papers for township
and borough officers, and election olll
cors and school directors in tho same
shall bo filed with tho county commis
sioners at least eighteen and fifteen
days respectively before tho day of elec
tion." To enable this section of tho law
to be properly curried out primaries
should bo held on or before Saturday,
January 2Tth, In ordor that the nomina
tions may be filed with tho county com
missioners not later than the 31st.
Nomination papers may bo filed up to
Fobruary 3rd. The early filing of the
nominations gives the commissioners
more time in which to got the ballots
printed.
Rear End Collision.
A rear end collision of two freight
trains occurred on the main line of the
A. V. R'y on the bridge across the Ma
honing creek, about ten miles below
Rod Bank, at 4.00 A. M. yesterday,
which delayed the eastbound train, due
here at 1.00 p. M., an hour yesterday.
An engine and four or five oil cars
rolled into the creek and the oil caught
fire and burned the entire bridge down.
There was no one Injured at the tlmo
of the collision, but at about ten o'clock
in the forenoon one of the oil tanks in
the creek exploded and ten or fiifteen
men, women, boys and girls who were
standing around looking at the wreck,
were injured by the explosion.

See That You Oo.
It is only a matter of a few days until
the political parties of this borough
will hold their primaries to place a
tlckot in the field to fill the various
offices of this municipality. Wo want
to call the attention of tho citizens to
the fact that it is us Important thnt
thoy attend the caucus of their party
and see to It that good men are placed
on the ticket, as it is for them to go to
the polls on election dny. It is generally
the rule whon a caucus is held to make
borough tlckot that the offices have to
go begging for candidates. An office
in this borough is a thankless position,
and in placo of words of praise and com
mendation, censure and contempt are
mostly the fruit therefore, yet loyal
citizens should be willing to face nil
obstacles to build up our town, and to
do this we must always have it manned
with the best officers uttalnahlo, and
the place to begin tho work Is In the
caucus.
A number of Governors of tho United
States were recently asked whut they
would suggest along tho line of good
citizenship, and tho reply from Gov.
Matthews of Indiana was that "tho best
thing to do Is to attend the primaries."
Tho Pittsburg Time says: "If the best
men of the community will nil attend
the primaries, good men will surely be
nominated and right principles be em
bodied in the party platforms. Every
Christian man ought to lie a good
citlzon and there Is no more Important
duty than that of taking part in the
primaries. We should say that in Im
portance It even precedes that of voting
at the general election Itself, for at tho
latter there may, owing to the neglect
of good people to attend the primaries
of all parties, be but a choice of evil
men and measures, whereas at the pre
liminary meetings there is a chance to
support and nominate the best measures
and men."
See to it then that the primaries are
well attended.
Took the Oath Last Week.
On Monday of this week Judge Reed
took the oath of office as president judge
of the several courts of Jefferson county,
for a terra of ten years. He now occu
pies the bench alone, and to an on
looker there is an appearance of loneli
ness around him, after aeelng three
judges on the bench in our courts for
more than half a century. After the
Judge had been sworn in, and remarks
had been made by him and several
members of the bar complimentary to
the retiring associate judges, on motion
of E. A. Carmalt, Esq., the rules of the
court were suspended, and Judge Tru
man and Judge Henderson were admit
ted as attorneys In the several courts of
the county. This action was a graceful
compliment to these gentlemen, who
have closed out a long line of associate
judges In the county, and will doubtless
be the last the county will ever havo.

Whllo at the county seat a few days
