Election in West Reynolds

ing Strongly Approved.
Yesterday's local election was
more hotly contested than any
previous one for years. The wet
weather had no dampening ef
fect on the ardor of the candi
dates and both Republicans and
Democrats put in a strenuous
day. Chief interest centered in
the contest for council, where
the recent action of half of the
present members in voting to
table the municicipal water
works matter, was one of the
bones of contention.
There were more straight tick
ets voted yesterday than is" cus
tomary, especially among the
Republicans, but the majority
searched theirballotsforthe best
men without regard to party.
Jarvis D. Williams, Republican
for chief burgess, won by an easy
majority. '
In West Reynoldsville the pro
position to bond the borough
school district for $11,300.00
for the purpose of erecting a . new
school building was approved.
The vote in favor was 81; against

are only working three days a week at
present on account of a surplus of coal.
The coal mined at' the Eriton and Toby
valley mines Is almost entirely used by
the engines on the Erie road and It was
found last week that an extra supply
was on hand and that it would be
necessary to shut down until the supply
was used up. The supply has almost
entirely been used and It is possible
that the m'ners will start full time
again this week.

LINCOLN'S
MEMORY
HONORED
Two Public Exercises on The
; Anniversary of the Mar
tyr's Birth.
LARGE AUDIENCES PRESENT.
CThe one hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Abraham Lincoln, Friday,
Feb. 12th, was commemorated in Reyn
oldsville by two public meetings, each
attended by large audiences, at which
programs appropriate to the occasion
were rendered. In the town, Ameri
can flags decorated many of the business
places and some of the publio offices
and Institutions remained closed during
the day.
THE SCHOOL EXERCISES.
The afternoon program waV carried
out In Assembly hall of publto school
building and thd- large auditorium was
filled with the older pupils and citizens
of town, including a detatebment of
twenty-Sve veterans of the Civil war,
piesent by special Invitation from Prof.
Rife. The program was lengthy and
welfexecuted. Dr. A. J. Meek, pastor
of the Reynoldsville Baptist church,
was the principal orator and delivered a
stirring address on the great theme of
Llnooln and his work.
'Martial songs aroused In the auditors
the patriotism of the 60's, while Lip
coin's favorate hymn, sung as a duet
by Misses Robinson and Black, softened
the tone of the exercises in keeping
with the strong but gentle and subdued
spirit of the Great Emancipator. In
strumental musical selections were ren
dered by Miss Coleman and Esther
Bell.
The program Included the best things
in literature oonneoted with the life of
Lincoln. Xoweil's Harvard Commem
oration Ode on Lincoln, Whitman's
masterpiece, "O Captain, My Captain,"
written after the assassination, the
famous Gettysburg speeoh and the
letter to Mrs. Blxby, with their mar
velous purity and simplicity of dlo
tlon, were given by pupils, as well
as a quantity of historical and bio
graphical matter of deep Interest.
The pupils who participated in the
entertainment were, Henry Stoke, Ivan
Weaver, Esther Bell, Mary McKay,
Martin McCrelght, Burton McConnell,
Stella Fisher, Cella Yost. Ada Early,
Margaret Frampton and Fonda King.
The veterans were especially pleased
with the mark of respect paid to them
by Prof. Rife and the school pupils,
and at the close of the exerolses ex
pressed their appreciation by a rising
vote of thanks to the schools. To this
again the pupils" rose in honor of the
soldiers and the scene was one that
oould not fall to act as an Inspiration
to all present. The exercises closed
with the glorious strains of the "Star
Spangled Banner."
THE PUBLIC CENTENARY SERVICE.
There are still living in Reynolds
ville several men who met Abraham
Lincoln face to face in the days of the
great war. Some of these were present
at the inspiring centenary exerolses in
the Methodist Episcopal church Friday
evening. To them the program re
called the most sacred and cherished
memories of their lives. The audi
torium of the church had been very
beautifully festooned with American
flags and emblems by H. E. Phillips
and this, with the resounding battle
hymns and 'songs, served to arouse a
high pitch of patriotic fervor in the
large audience.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the G. A. R., S. of V., W.
R. C, and the program prepared by
representatives of these orders was an
excellent one. Haryey S. Deter acted
as chairman and the prinoipal speaker
of the evening was the Rev. John F-.
Black, pastor of the M. E. church.
Hib address was a well worded delinea
tion of the Life and Character of Abra
ham Lincoln, showing how his humble
origin, his struggle for eduoatlon, the
purity of his motives and the greatness
of his soul, and final martyrdom had
made him the truest exemplar of Amer
ican manhood.
Others who participated in the ex
erolses were Rev. J. C. McEntire, . who
made the invocation, Hammond J. Pos
tlethwaite, who delivered Lincoln's
Birthday Address, Dr. A. J.' Meek, who
gave a short historical sketch of Lln
ooln, and Dr. J. W. Foust, who recount
ed personal reminiscences of the War
President.

Erie Railroad Company Will
Sink a 400-Foot Shaft
To Lower Vein.
SURVEY IS NOW BEING MADE.
Representatives of the Erie Railroad
company have been In this seotlon the
past week looking oyer the company's
coal lands between Sykesvllle and Big
Run. It is the intention to sink anoth
er mining shaft near Cramer and in so
doing will lay the industrial foundation
for another prosperous mining village.
The DuBols Express, commenting on
the prospect, says:
Surveyors for the Northwestern Min
ing & Exchange company, the name
under which the Erie's bituminous op
erations are carried on, have been at
work this week running lines at Cram
er for a switch leading from the B., R.
& P., tracks and also staking out lines
for the structures that are necessary
for a deep mining operation, Buch as
the tipple, boiler house, etc - At that
point the Erie company controls an im
mense body of the finest kind of steam
coal, the mining of which will furnish
employment to several hundred men
for a generation. It Is unofficially stated
that to reach the measure at the point
seleoted for the operation will require a
shaft 400 feet deep. This will be the
lowest worsting In this immediate field.
Whether the actual sinking of the
hole Is to be begun at onoe on the com
pletion of the survey cannot be said.
It seems reasonable, however, to sup
pose that now, with the Eriton propo
sition brought almost up to its maxi
mum capaolty, the company will be in
shape to go right along with the devel
opment of the new field.
,, The operation means tho building of
a new town between Sykesvllle and Big
Run. The location Is on the line of the
trolley system.
