VOLUME 17. REYNOLDSVILLE, PENN'A., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1908. NUMBER 23. POWER HOUSE OF PANTHER RUN COAL CO. PARTIALLY DESTROYED BY FIRE FRIDAY State Road Opened Thursday. The Btate road from Reynoldsville "borough lino to the Clearfield county line above Rathmel, about four mllcB long, dim opened to the public last Thursday. This is, perhaps, one of the best pieces of. state road in Penney I vania. ' It is paved with brick from the Reynoldsvllle borough line to the school house above Rathmel and from there to the Clearfield county 41 ne is macadamized. It is likely, that next year, or in a couple of years at farthest, the road will be completed through to DuBois. It is the desire and intention of those in state authority to connect towns throughout the state with state roads s soon as possible and not to have only pieces of paved roads here and there. Among those who went out from Reynoldsvlle Thursday afternoon in automobiles to inspect the new state road were Assistant State Highway " Inspector G. W. Ensign, of Harrisburg, .District Superintendent Claybaugb, County Commissioner E. T. McGaw and J. M. Norris, one of the supervisors of Winslow township. Former Hopkins Man Committed Suicide J. L.

Why be took his own life is unknown to his wife ana rela tives. A neighbor had been at Mr. 'Beaton's for dinner that day and Mr. Heaton was cheerful and there was not 'the slightest indication that he con---templated such an awful deed. After the neighbor had started home Mrs. . Heaton went out to a summer kitchen oiear house and left Mr. Heaton alone, who had told her that be would start lor a load of stone in a few minutes. She was only out of the house a few minutes when ebe heard the shot, which she thought was some distance ' from her home and did not go Into the hose immediately, but when she did she was horrified to find ber hus band sitting on rocking chair dead with bullet hole in his forehead. He had used a small rifle to take his own' life. Joseph L.

MINE HAS BEEN IDLE SINCE About 8 30 Friday evening, October 10, fire started in the power house of the Panther Run Coal Company at Pardus and gave the people of the village an hour's fight before being extinguished. The boiler, compressor and dynamo sections are in one long tile building and the fire, which origin ated in an oil fitter, completely de stroyed the roof over the dynamo and compressor end of the building and in jured a part of the boiler section. The loss will approximate $1,000. The beat, falling slate and iron injured the dynamo and compressor so badly that the pumps in the mine could nnt be worked for twenty hours after the fire, during which time considerable water gathered in the mine and made it Im possible) to work. It is thought that the dynamo can be repaired and every thing put in Bhape for resumption of work either to-day or to-morrow.' The Pardus mines have been running practically full ,time foe several weeks and bave orders to be filled which guarantee Bteady work to the miners In that section for an Indefinite time.

A game of football was played on the gridiron at this place between the high school team and Eleanora Saturday. It was one of the roughest games ever witnessed at this place. Eleanora did not know the game and depended on their strength to win. There was no open football played by the Eleanora team; it looked like the old Rugby of many years ago. The Eleanora referee was also out of tune; many disputes was the result of this. Nolan starred for the H. S., although all the H. S. players played good ball. The game was rough; nevertheless our boys played a brilliant game. Score 11-0 In fayor of Eleanora. Referee, Frank Bohren and Crooks.

Glass Plant to Operate Within Three Months Work Commenced on Changes In Tank Last Week and Will be Rushed. By January 15, 1909, it is practically curtain that the Star Glass Co. 's plant at Reynoldsvllle will be in operation. This Is assured by the final agreement between the local company and the owners of the Col burn- sheet window glass machine of Franklin, which, after considerable negotiation became effec tive last week. The work of remodeling the local plant has been commenced. The ma chine requires a space 215 feet In length and to accommodate it, the connecting passage between blowing and flatten ing houses will be widened, a number of flattening ovens torn out and the end of melting tank be rebuilt. The machine Is constructed on a brick foun dation or metal and wood and requires extreme care in building. The glass Is drawn in a sheet 60 Inches wide from the molten mass in the oven and when in operation extends the full length of the machine. The present blowing and flattening departments are unneces sary. The R. H. S. football team will play the Big Run H. S.' at Big Run Satur day.

VETERANS ENJOY REUNION Perfect Weather and a Large X Attendance of the "Wild cats" of '65. MEET AT PUNXS'Y NEXT YEAR One hundred and twenty-one grizzled old veterans, survivors of the famous "Wild Cat" 105th Regiment, Pennsyl vania Volunteers, rallied at Reynolds vllle October 15th In one of the most notable reunions since the disbanding in '05. Members were present who bad not attended for years and the pleasure of meeting old comrades was unalloyed by a single untoward circumstance. Most of the veterans are now past the meridian of life, some even linger ing in the last rays of sunset; few are now as active as In war days. The pro gram was modified somewhat on this account. The parade was omitted and the real feature of the event was simply the mingling of the veterans at head quarters and the chances it afforded for the exchange of reminiscences ot war days and renewing nf acquaintances parted for years. One odd instance of the kind occurred when Col. Levi Bird DulT, who lost a leg by a mtnnle ball while Oravely charging with bis regiment in battle, was approached by a feeble old man who informed Col. Duff that he had been at'hls side when the log was shot off, and assisted In carrying hie leader off the field. In stances of this kind were common all day and afforded to the veterans a pleasure that could be appreciated only by those who had been sharers in the peril nearly fifty years ago. The register was kept in 'Squire H. A. Martin's office while Centennial bai), two doors above, was open all day for the use of -the 105th. The hali was prettily decorated In the Interior with the colors the men had fought for so long. At noon the W. R. C. served chicken dinner in the Centenuial to the veterans and friends. In the afternoon the business meeting was held in the hall when officers were elected for the coming year. Col. Levi B. Duff, of Pittsburgh, Is permanent president ot the organization and Hon. S. A. Craig, of Brookville, permanent secretary. H. Clay Campbell, of Punx sutawney, was chosen vice-president and George R. Hall, of the same place, assistant secretary. The reunion will be held in Punxsutawney on the third Thursday of October in 1909; At four o'clock the veterans marched to the corner of Fifth and Main streets and were met there by pupils of the publlo and parochial schools,, marching in a body from the school buildings. The meeting of the old and young around the old battle scarred flag of the regiment and of the nation, was proved an inspiring spectacle. The students sung "America" in concert, and thla was followed by an address by Prof. W. M. Rife, of the publlo schools, and by H. Clay Campbell, Esq., of Punnutawney. At the close Col. Duff gave a short talk. One other song was rendered before the gathering dis persed. The evening camp fire In Centennial hall attracted many persons not mem bers of the regiment. The program prepared was carried oat in full ex cepting only the address by O. C. Red lck Illness in his family prevented Mr. Redick's presence Thursday and hla place on the program was filled by Lawyer William Fairman, the spec tacular Punxsutawnian. This closed the exercises for the event and ended a day enjoyable in v'ery respect for all who participated. The history of the 105th Regiment is practically the history of the Army of the Potomac In drill, on the march, In battle, in all soldierly qualities, this regiment had no. superiors, and repeat edly drew words of praise from auoh generals as Kearny, Jameson, Graham and Binney. It was mustered in In 1861 one thousand strong; it was mus tered out in 1365 with about one hun dred and fifty of its original members in it. Its depleted ranks were filled up twice: the last time Just aa the war was closing. The body of the men were Scotch-Irish by descent and fighters ail to the backbone. Childrens' Coats.

HUNTER'S CARELESSNESS CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE Leaves Caught Fire and All the Woods Below Pleasant Avenue Was Burned. Thursday morning ft hunter passing through the woods between the Reyn oldsvllle cemetery and Sandy Lick creek shot off bis gun and It is supposed that burnlug papor from the charge fell among dry leaves on the ground and started a fire. The leaves, dry dead weeds and bushes burned rapidly and by noon had spread over several acres, coming close to buildings along Pleas ant Avenue. About two o'clock It be came necessary to carry buckets of water to the roofs of houses nearby and an alarm was given for fire companies. The firemen responded and for an hour and a half, with two lines of hose, fought the flames. The homes of James Lusk and Frank Kelly and barn of Joseph Sanders were in greatest danger, but none of the buildings was actually on fire. Friday afternoon the fire broke out aiala and swept over the region once known as the Grove and came so close to houses located near it that another call was made for aid and a line of hose was hurried to the scene. Old Time Merchant Visits Rcynoldsvillc Charles H. Gordon Embarked In Business Half a Cen tury Ago, CbarlesH. Gordon, who moved from Reynoldsvllle to Washington, D. G, fifteen years ago, arrived in town at noon last Thursday, for bis first visit to the place since he become a resident of the Capitol City, was given the "glad band" and a cordial welcome by his numerous old time friends. For about 35 years Mr. Gordon was an honored and successful merchant of Reynoldsvllle. He embarked in the mercantile bueiness la Reyioldsvllle in November, 1869; near Tenth street, when the town was small and not very thrifty. Mr. Gordon erected the store roonj' and dwelling at corner of Main and Tenth streets, where he conducted business for a number of years. After the Low Grade railroad was built and business began to center nearer the rail road Mr. Gordon erected the brick build ing now occupied' by the Reynoldsvllle Candy Works. His business increased and he erected the brick building occupied by Nolan Shoe Co. and with an archway between the two roomB Mr, Gordon oceupled both rooms for his large stock of goods. Later Mr. Gordon erected the brick now occupied by Cunningham jewelry store for the Seeley & Alexander Co. bank, of which he was a member. Mr. Gordon erected and' occupied the dwelling at oorner of Fourth and Jackson streets, now oceupled by P. McDonald. At the time it was built it was one of the finest residences in Reynoldsvllle. While Mr. Gordon has kept in touch with Reynoldsvllle during his fifteen years' absence by reading The Star every week, yet the Improvements in the town in that time have beautified the places beyond his expectations. He thinks the town Is now a real pretty place, and what else could he think? Paved streets, fine business blocks and beautiful residences, which have been erected since he moved out from among us, certainly has made a vast improve ment in Mr town. ' v Where Bullets Flew. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg says: "The good Eleotrlo Bitters has done is worth more than five hundred dollars to me. i spent much money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble,' to little pur pose. I then tried, Electrio Bitters, and they eured me. I now take them as a tonic, and they keep me strong and well." 50c at Stoke & Feicht Drug Co. drug store. A Healthy Family.

Myers tendered his resig nation last Sunday as pastor of the Trinity Lutheran church at this place, to take effect December 1st. Rev.

Myers has two calls, Natrona, Pa., and Moundsville, W. Va.. but has not decided yet which call be will ac cept. The work on Reynoldsville charge, which includes Chestnut Grove and Emeriek vlllo. make it pretty hard for him and that Is one of bis reasons for resigning this charge. tt Rev.
