He is also survived by twenty grand
children and four great grandchildren.
Peter Baum was a man of strong con
stitution. He had never been sick with
any disease until a few weeks ago.
October 31st of last year bis wife fell
and broke one of her lege and after
that Mr. Baum began to worry, think
ing he might lose his wife, and his
hpalth began to tall. The first of this
year he came into Reynoldsville to
visit his son, John, hoping that a few
days away from the oares and worry
of home would benefit his health.
That was his last trip to this town.
He was confined to bed about three
weeks before he died. Ele was con
scious until the last moments, but was
unable to talk some hours before death.
Friday be BBked lor his son, John, and
son-in-law, D. W. Dinger, but when
they arrived at his bedside, Borne hours
before death, he could not talk plainly.
He tried to tell tbem something that
he seemed anxious for tbem to know,
but he could not make them under
stand.
Peter Baum will be missed in the
the neighborhood where he resided
three score years. - He was a good
neighbor. No one ever went to him
who was deserving but what they got
help; he would often deprive himself
to accommodate others. About forty
years ago Mr. Baum gave up the hotel
business and began farming and lum
bering. "Weep not thnt his toll It over,
Weep not that his race Is run;
God grant we may rest as sweetly
When like his our work Is done."
Funeral service was held at the
family residence Monday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. J. W. Myers, of

church, and Rev. O. H. Sibley, pastor

CONSOLIDATION EFFECTED. -
Petty B. Love's Insurance Agency Now
Represents Maryland Casualty.
Mr. Perry B. Love, the Insurance
agent of this place, is announcing to
his patrons the merging of the Cen
tral Acoldent Insurance Company of
Pittsburg, which has heretofore been
represented in this section by the
Love agency, with the Maryland
Casualty Company, of Baltimore, Md.,
the business to be conducted under the
name of the latter company. The
change will in no way affect the poli
cies of the Central Company except
to back them with the increased as
sets of the consolidated companies,
amounting to $4,000,000, as against
the Central's individual assests of
$773,000. Present policies will remain
as they are at present until due
for renewal, when they will be re
placed with a new policy which will
be an exact duplicate of the old one,
excepting that the name of the com
pany will be changed to the Mary
land Casualty. The consolidated com
pany will retain both the Pittsburg
and Baltimore offices and the business
will be handled and the claims looked
after In the same prompt and equitable
manner which has made the Central
so strong with its policyholders. The
consolidation of these two companies
makes the Maryland Casualty Company
the strongest accident insurance com
pany in the country, and puts the
Love agency In control of a headliner
In the matter of accident Insurance.
James Lockard, Punxsutawney's gen
ial and popular candidate for the Re
publican nomination for county treas
urer, was in Reynoldsville last week
looking after his political interests.
Mr, Lockard is going after the nomi
nation with a determination to win
if possible. He is bustling. The other
aspirants can make note of the fact
that he is a strong candidate.

Meeting
Held in I. O. O. F. Building
Under Auspices of the Bus

a Large Crowd Attends.
A FRANK DISCUSSION.
Commissioners McGaw and
Kelly Attend and Explain
the State Road Situation,
When the contract for paving the
road in Wlnslow township from the
county line to the borough line was let
a few weeks ago, the Impression got
abroad from the wording of the original
specifications, that Reynoldsville brick
were being unjustly discriminated
against as material for paving. As the
whole length of the road lies in terri
tory naturally contiguous to Reynolds
ville and there are two brick plants here
manufacturing a standard product, the
feeling of resentment was strong; the
aid of the Business Men's Association
was solicited and aotive measures taken
to secure consideration for the borne
product. - A meeting of protest was
called for Monday evening and all
arrangements made for a strenuous
demonstration of displeasure. On the
afternoon of the day of the meeting
there were unexpected developments
with the results that the thieatened
Btorm died away as gently as a summer
day.
The part taken in the business by the

Whi n the contraot was-drawn up, nam

Barr signed but Commissioner McGaw
refrained, from signing because it did
not appear to him, a fair deal for home
Interests, audi hleposHIoa waa strength
ened immediately by the Bpeoifio re
quests of the Reynoldsville Business
Men's Association that the commis
sioners make stronger protest against
theexclusloaof Reynoldsville brick as a
standard. Messrs. Kelley and Barr
stood pat on their decision, but joined
wLth McGaw and the township super
visors in a request to the State High
way Department to have the name of
Reynoldsville brick Inserted on an
equality with the one named. Many of
the local citizens did not have much
hope of favorable action on this acd
asked the Association to take still more
drastlu measures. It did so. The meet
ing of protest was called. Commis
sioners McGaw and Kelley and Super
visor Mulbolland, together with repre
sentatives of Interested local brlok com
panies and the contractors, Hatten &
Son, of DuBois, were present. A large
number of local business men were
In attendance and there seemed a chance
of a very lively session. But the real
point at issue, fair consideration for
home brick, had virtually been settled
by the Hattens during the afternoon,
and under the olrcumstances it seemed
unwise to attempt the original pro
gram. Under the skillful handling of
Chairman D. H. Breakey much good
was evolved however in the way of
drawing out explanations from all par-
tics concerned and the establishing of a
better understanding. After long de
bate it was finally resolved:
"That the commissioners of Jefferson
county and supervisors of Winslow
township be requested logo ahead with
the paving contract as soon as they
have heard from the State Commission
ers in regard to the effort now being
made in regard to insertion of Reynolds
ville brick In the contraot."

consent. This action released Mr. Mo
Gaw from, the request of the associa

he then announced that the contract
would receive his signature immediate

be extended to Mr. McGww for the
stand he took to protect the business
Interests of the county. It was sec
