LOOKED DUBIOUS FOR A TIME.
Raise in Oas Came Nrar Knocking Out
Olass Plant Here.
It was fairly understood by the citi
zens of this pluce and the Star Glass
Company that if a glass plant was
erected here that the Oil City Fuel Sup
ply Company would furnish gas for
manufacturing purposes at 8 cents per
thousand, the same rato tho same com
pany was furnishing gas to the glass
plauts at Falls Creek and DuBols, but
when the manager of the Star Glass
Company went to tho gas office the first
of last week to make contract for gas he
was Informed that the company would
not enter Into a contract to furnish gas
for less than 10 cents per thousand.
This was not only a surprise to the glass
conipsny but also to our citizens. It
looked as if the gas company was dis
criminating between the Star Glass
Company and the glass plants at Falls
Creek and DuBols, and rather than be
discriminated against In that way the
glass company decided that they would
not build the glass plant at Reynolds
ville. The citizens had promised the glass
company 8 cent gas and felt under ob
ligation to do all In thetr power to se
cure that rate, not only to make their
promise good, but to keep the glass men
from leaving the town. A committee
composed of Mayor H. Alex Stoke, E.
A. Ferrln, Dr. W. B. Alexander and
S. B. Elliott went to Oil City Thursday
to consult with the head men of the
gas company and so it they could not
secure the 8 cent rate. They were In
formed that the company would not
make a better rate than 10 cents, but
were also informed that the contracts
of the plants at Falls Creek and DuBolt
would soon expire and that the gas com
pany would not renew those contracts
for less than 10 cents. This will put
the glass plants In this section on the
same rate and the Star Glass Company
decided to remain at Reynoldsville. It
would have been a very black eye for
the town had the glass plant been
knocked out.
New County Officers.
On Monday of this week, January 1st.
the now county officers were sworn In
and now preside at the county seat, as
follows: Sheriff, Jacob M. Chesnutt;

White; clerk, A. E. Gilbralth; jail phy

affairs as judiciously as did their pred
ecessors tho county will have no reason
to regret having elected them. Being
personally acquainted with all the new
officials we unhesitatingly say that they
are gentlemen worthy of the positions
thoy now hold.
Silent Bullet.
One morning recently as John Conrad
and Isaiah Cable were driving up Main
street at about six o'clock Mr. Conrad
felt something strike him above the
left eye, when near the Presbyterian
church, and Immediately blood began
to flow down over his face freely. A
lantern, which the gentlemen bad with
them, disclosed the fact that a bullet
bad hit Mr. Conrad. They returned to
Dr. King's and had the wound dressed.
The gentlemen did not hear the report
of fire-arms and have no idea where the
bullet came from.

TROLLEY LINE SURVEY
Glass Plant Being Pushed Rapidly
Will Blow Ulass Before April 1st.
STREETS SOON TO BE LIGHTED I
Electric Light Plant will be In Operation the
Latter Part of February.
The. people of Roynoldsvlllu have
awakened to the fact that an era of
prosperity has forced Itself tion lis and
that the prospect for tho town's future
was never so bright as It Is now. An
eloctrlo railway, glass plant and electric
lights would bring the town up to the
front ranks, but there are other Indus
tries in view which may be landed tn
our midst before many months.
Monday morning an engineer corps
began the survey for the trolley line
from this place to Rathmel, Big Soldier
Sykesvllle and Eleanora. A park will
be fitted up somewhere along the line
and before the picnic season ot 1900
draws to a close trolley parties to the
park will be numerous. Any ono who
may have doubted that the electric
railway would be built, can now banish
such doubts and feel assured that the
electric cars will be running on Main
street before the summer ends. The
survey will be completed as soon as pos
sible, but the work of constructing the
railway will not be started until spring.
I. A. Vandcgrlft & Co., contractors of
Phlladfclphla, are the engineers for the
Reynoldsville Traction company and
they will likely construct the railway.
T. H. Loomls, a civil engineer of Brook
lyn, N. Y., Is here surveying the line
for Vandegrift & Co.
The work on glass plant is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. A large
force of men are at work. The Star
Glass Company has a contract to furnish
glass by the litth of March, but the
plant will hardly be in oporation before
the 1st of April.
Thomas Evans, who hus contraot for
electric light building, is pushing that
work. According to contract tho build
ing is to be finished by the 15th of next
month, and by the latter part ot Febru
ary the citizens of this town will not
have to walk In darkness any longer.
Good Institute.
The teachers' county Institute held at
Brookvllle last week was one of the
best, If not the best, Institutes ever held
In the county. County Supt. Teltrlck
deserves great praise and credit for
bringing the teachers' institute up to
such a high standard. The day Instruc
tors last week were all highly educated
persons and tho night entertainments
were first class. Prof. Teltrlck gave
the teachers the best that could be ob
tained. There was keen disappoint
ment Tuesday nl?ht because Bishop
Fowler failed to reach Brookvllle to de
liver his lecture on "Great Deeds of
Great Men," but Prof. Teltrlck was in
no way responsible for that disappoint
ment. Russell Conwell's lecture Thurs
day evening, "A Silver Crown, or how
to Succeed," could not help but make
evory thoughtful porson the better for
having listened to it.
After such a profitable Institute the
educational interests In Jefferson coun
ty will certainly be advanoed during
1900.
As a token of the teachers' apprecia
tion of Prof. Teltrlck's successful efforts
to give them an excellent institute,
they gave blra a beautiful gold watch
and silver cake dish during the last
session of Institute. Prof. Allison, of
Punxsutawney, "made the presentation
speech.
