THREE CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
Frank Ruth Was Taken to Bradford Last
Week on Charge of Abduction.
Frank Brown, alias Frank Ruth, was
arrested In Reynoldsvllle Wednesday
afternoon of last woek by Frank P.
Adelsporger on a warrant issued at
Bradford for abducting Grace Lee, a
fourteen-year-old girl, from that place.
While Ruth wus arrested for abducting
Graco Leo, ho was suspected of being
the man who murdered Grant Alexan
der In DuBols last August, as ho ans
wered the description given of Alexan
der's murderer. Ho goes by the namo
of Brown, Is of the same height, size
and weight and is minus a part of tho
first finger of tho left hand, as was the
person described as the murderer.
Carrie Swelrs, Alexander's paramour,
who is now a resident of "Poverty Flut,"
was sent for to identify Ruth as tho
murderer of Alexander, hut sho did not
recognizo him as tho man who
did the killing. Thursday forenoon two
men were brought down from DuBols
who cleared Ruth of thechargo of mur
dering Alexander. Thursday evening
Constable W. W. Tadder, of Bradford,
arrived In this plncomid on Frldny took
Ruth to Bradford, whero ho will havo
to answer for three charges, abduction,
desertion and larceny. Wo have boon
informed that last May Ruth finished a
seven year term In the Western Peni
tentiary. Ho has good prospects of
serving another term In the peniten
tiary. If tho Bradford authorities full
to convict him he will lie brought bnek
to Jefferson county and tried for lar
ceny. Two weeks ago Friduy evening
some beef hides wero stolon from Peter
Rhodes' burn, buck of his Main street
meat market, and tho samo evening
Ruth sold tho hides to O. F. Smith, tho
Eust Main street butcher. When ac
cused of the theft ho acknowledged to
having sold tho hides to Smith, but
claimed he had bought them from a boy.
Four weeks ago Saturday Grace Lee
culled on Mayor Stoke begging money
to get back to her home in Bradford.
Mayor Stoke asked her how she got so
fur away from home and sho told him
the story of abduction and that Ruth
hnd threatened to kill he:' If she ran
away from him, and that sho hud left
whilo he was away from home. Mayor
Stoke got Grace a boarding place and
telegraphed to her father. The first
of the following week an officer came
after Grace and had a warrant for the
arrest of Ruth, and as he was not at
home the warrant was left in the hands
of Adelsperger. THE STAR was re
quested not to mention the affair at the
time, as Ruth might skip out of this
section entlroly. Ruth lived In a small
houso above Prescottvlllo. Tho officor
wanted to capture him without a scene,
and perhaps bloodshed, so he was shad
owed until he thought tho matter had
blown over and he came to Reynolds
vllle on the Wednesday afternoon men
tioned to trade horses and was taken by
surprlso when Georgo Warnick and
Adelsporger grabbed hold of him and
Frank slipped the handcuffs on him.
Ruth was interviewed by a represent
ative of The Star while he was con
fined in the look-up and of course he was
an innocent man, the verdict coming
from his own Hps. He acknowledged
that he gave Grace Lee money to come
to Prescottvlllo, but he denied the
story of abduction and said ho could
provo that she, came of her own free
will. When he was five days old his
mother died and a furally "named Brown
kept him until he was eight years old,
and that Is the reason he is called
Brown sometimes, so he says. Ruth's
vocabulary Is well stocked with pro
fanity. Died From Consumption.
John E. Mowory, aged 27 years, oldest
son of Georgo and Surah Mowery, of
Winslow township, near Big Soldier,
died on Wodnesday, December 22nd,
1807, of consumption. John Mowery
was unable to do a days' work the past
threo years. He was able to walk
about the day before his death. Gor
don Clark was called In to talk and pray
with him and tho deceased could say
before he died, "It is well with my
soul." John said to his sister Clara and
brothor Charley, who stood by his side
holding his ice cold hands, not to weep
for him. He prayed for the Savior to
take him out of his misery, The funer
al service waa held at the homo of the
bereaved parents Friday afternoon,
December 24th. The interment took
place in the Syphrlt cemetery In Para
dise. Eli Perkins at Punxs'y.

Assembly ball, Reynoldsvllle, Friday
evening, January 21st lectured in
Punxsutawney on the 16th of last
month and the Punxsutawney Spirit,
in speaking of the lecture, says:
"Ell Perkins' business is to smooth
wrinkles from the brow of gloom and
transfer them to the mouth In
merry laughter. He Is a traveling sun
beam, and when ho is come and gone,
all those who came in contact with his
genial beams feel that something bright
and beautiful and soothing has passed
that way."

PROSPERITY COMING TH19 WAY.
Silk Manufactory to Locate Here Have
You Helped Any Yet T
The future prosperity of Reynolds
villa Is assured. Her olttzens aro alert'
and fully recognize the Imperative Im
portance of turning her natural advan
tages to use. Blessed with coal and
natural gas in inexhaustable supplies
for manufacturing purposes', she has
laid hold of a proposition that will
class this town in the vanguard- in
the manufactory of broad silks. We
are favorably located, and have natural
advantages far above other towns that
have gained recognition from the
successful manufactory of sflks. Our
citizons appreciated tho fact that some
thing had to be dona to sustain and en
large tho growth of Reynoldsvllle.
The committee securing subscriptions
for preferred stock expect to complete
the subscription list within the next
few days. The ground is already se
cured and the erection of large, sub
stantial brick buildings, of modern de
sign, containing tho latest and best
machinery, all new, for tlie manufactory
of broad silks will begin before long.
Ihis Industry will employ 350 odd
hands and tho pay roll will amount to
about $200,000 annually. The plant will
be of a capacity of no less than 225 looms
and require at least $."0,000 working
capital. Arrangements have boon made
toako care of tho entire output of tho
mill for tho next ensuing year. This
mill will bo free and clear of all Hens
and incumbrances, and erected at a
cost of $100,000, by a thoroughly sub
stantial and reliable company. It is un-
necessary for us to dwoll upon tho In
fluence and the good which the distribu
tion of $200,000 per annum will do to
our community.
Six years ago a company from Now
York located a silk mill ut Willinms
port, Pa. The citizens raised a bonus
of $10,000, gave a block of land within
tho city limits which is now covered by
the plant and employs from 800 to 1,000
bunds. Other successful plunts are
located at Carbondalo, Sunbury, Car
lisle, Harrlsburg, Reading and else
where In the state of Pennsylvania.
None of these localities being as favor
able for this industry as this town.
The Philadelphia Ijtd'jer, under date
of December 28th, relevaut to Allen-
town's silk Industry, has ruude the fol
lowing statement: "By the end of next
week the Wellbuchor silk mill, just
erected In this city, will be in complete
running order, and between 300 and 400
weavers, loom fixers, winders, etc., em
ployed. Only fancy ribbon will be
woven. This is Allentown's seventh
silk plant. The silk industry was es
tablished here in 1881, and the Adel
aide mill (the first,) has been enlarged
fourfold since, It alone employing 1200
hands. Plans have just been made for
another big addition to the plant,
which is regarded as one of the most
complete in this country. The silk in
dustry in Allontown gives employment
to nearly 3000 hands."
The committee will further wait upon
the citizens and others who may desire
to secure preferred stock, being redeem
able in 5 years at par, with the privi
lege, providing the holder thereof de
sires it, can run 20 years. Semi
annual dividends are guaranteed to
be paid on this stock, at the rate of
7 por cent, per annum.
The raw Bilk alone which the mill
will require, will amount to over $800
000 annually.
The citizens of Reynoldsvllle realize
that their interests and that of the com
pany are Identical, and thoy speak with
pride, relevant to the work so success
hilly done by the committee In securing
$30,000 within a week.
