Justice of the Peace Eighty Years
Old Arrested For Incendiarism
Hawthorne Profoundly Stirred
By the Developments of
The Past Week.
THREE MEN LODGED IN JAIL
Intense excitement was caused in
Hawthorne and surrounding' territory
Saturday by the action of the State
Constabulary in arresting Justice of the
Peace J. A. Timlin, a roan almost
eighty years of age, on a charge of com
plicity In Incendiarism. At the same
time two young men, William Latsbaw,
Jr., aped 17, and Charles Sohrecongost,
aged 18, were arrested charged with
complicity in the deeds.
Since November the citizens of Haw
thorne have been kept in terror by
repeated fires of incendiary origin.
Five barns and one house were des-

of sweating brought out a full confes
sion, in which Sohrecongost was named
as his partner in the incendiary acts
and Timlin as the instigator. The aged
justice refused to talk when arrested.
If iound gully as charged, all three will
receive penitentiary sentences not ex
ceeding twelve years.
The alleged reason for 'Squire Tim
lin's downfall is that he had long de
sired to purchase a hotel owned by Al.
Simpson, but being unable to secure
it lawfully, had had the barns burned
around it in the hope of the fire reach
ing and destroying the hotel. Timlin's
whole career had been honorable. Be
Is well known in his own county and
the news of his alleged complicity In

Sermon Appears in the March
Number of The Delineator
Magazine.
. The March number of 1M Delineator
is of especial Interest to Beechwoods
and Reynoidsville people. It contains
a sermon written by Rev. George H.
Hill, pastor of tbe Beechwoods Presby
terian church, on "Tbe Child Mission."
Last summer the Delineator, which is
conducting Child-Rescue Campaign,
offered prizes for sermons to be
preached on that subject or along the
line of the American homes. The ser
mons were to be preached in the home
churches, after which the manusoriDts
were submitted to tbe department in
the Delineator which selected the prize
winners. Mr. Hill's sermon won the
second prize 1300, and the sermon is
published in full in the current number.
Mr. Hill chose for bis text, "A little
child shall lead them," from Isaiah 11:6,
and dwelt at length on the prevailing
decrease of families. He condemns race
sulolde Id the strongest terms.

War Experience.
Verona, Pa., Feb. 22nd, 1909.
Editor The Star:
Having read in your paper of the
Lincoln birthday commemoration, the
reminiscences of some of the veterans
brlngto my mind recollections of Pres
ident Lincoln and wife as I saw them
during the time I was in the Veteran
Reserve Corps in Washington City.
Lincoln visited the Soldier' Home al
most every day. She frequently ac
companied him. I once saw Mrs. Lin
coln thrown from the carriage and pain
fully though not seriously injured.
They passed our encampment in going
to the Soldiers' Home.
- The night of the assassination we
were called out to surround the city to
prevent the escape of the assassin, but,
as you all know, it was too late, he
making good his escape, although we
did not lose any time. '
I was also one of those detailed to do
guard duty in tbe prison where Harold,
Payne, Atzerott and Mrs. Surcatt were
confined and knew them quite well by
sight. We were not permitted to speak
to them or answer them, however.
They were not allowed tobacco. Yet
once I broke the rule and do not know
what the penalty would have been had
I been found out. Atzerott said to me:
"Guard, for Heaven's sake, give me a
chew of tobacco." 1 turned so that I
might move backwards against his cell
and gave him a piece of tobacco as I
passed. J. S. Bartle,

Planning For Opera
tion of Enamel Plant
Working Capital Of Company
Increased to Meet New Op

G. A. Con rath, of Indiana, was In
Reynoidsville Friday looking after tbe
interest of his company in the recently
acquired "steel plant." The company's
plans for reorganizing their business
nn a larger basis after putting the
Reynoidsville plant in operation are
far reaching and will necessitate a slight
issue of treasury stock to provide oper
ating expenses. The selling of this
stock, however, Is being oonduoted by
representatives of the company or their
authorized agents and tbe purchase of
the Reynoidsville plant Is in no wise
contingent on its flotation. Tbe com
pany's stock is held largely In Indiana
county and is on a dividend basis, being
to that extent a good investment for
any person desiring it. A number of
Reynoidsville people have' expressed a
desire to share in the prosperity of the
concern and for their benefit and for
others who wish a safe and conserv
ative investment, It is probable that
a Bmall block will be given to a Reyn
oidsville agent. It should be regarded
strictly as an Investment privilege how
ever and is not connected in any way
with tbe recent work of the Association
In negotiating the deal.
Among the prominent stockholders
In this company are Ex-Congressman

TELEGRAPH
REYNOLDSVILLE
A Scientific Demonstration of
Special Interest in Parlor
Of Imperial Hotel.
WITNESSED BY LOCAL PEOPLE
The first demonstration of wireless
telegraphy since its discovery was made
in Reynoidsville Friday afternoon and
evening, February 19th, in the parlor
of tbe Imperial hotel. G. B. Kemp,
representing a well known wireless
telegraph and telephone company, was
in charge of tbe exhibition and fluently
and obligingly explained to all who
called the myeterles of the great In
vention. Mr. Kemp Is a former news
paper man, starting his career under
Henry Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal and terminating it as
Washington correspondent of John R.
McLean's Cincinnati Enquirer.
' While Mr. Kemp came in the in
terest of bis oompany, the demonstra
tion in itself was of great educational
value and it is to ba regretted that so
few of our people took advantage of the
opportunity to become familiar with an
invention that In point of service to
humanity will rank in importance with
any discovery of the last century.
The model carried by Mr. Kemp is
only a miniature,- with low power bat
teries, but sufficient to show the won
derful possibilities of the instruments.
On a stand In the center of the parlor
was placed the receiving apparatus
with its wiry brass aerostaff towering
in the air. At another end of the room
Mr. Kemp operated the sending ma
chine, equipped with tbe regular tele
graph key and also having its aerostaff
vibrating high overhead. Between the
the machines there was no wire, nor
connection of any kind, but at the
touch of the operator's hand on the
sending key, there' was immediate re
sponse In tbe receiver across the room.
To better show the nature of tbe
eleotrio connection, Mr. Kemp picked
up his sending battery and walked out
side tbe parlor wherein sat the re
ceiving apparatus. Tbe doors were
closed and a thick partition' placed be
tween the two machines. At the touch
of the key outside the subtle eleotriolty
found its easy way instantaneously from
the aerostaff outside, through the wall,
to tbe aerostaff inside, and the message
was ticked off.
This was a demonstration In minia
ture of the great discovery that in
actual use sends an electric message
thousands of miles across ocean and
mountain, despite storms and ollmatto
differences to a station where there is
an Instrument accurately tuned to re
ceive it. One may read muoh of tbe
method of doing it, but until present
at the aotual transmitting can hardly
realize tbe real importance of the
aoblevment.
Want Damages For
Property Destroyed
Aftermath of the Florence Fight
Between Constabulary and
Italians.
It will be recalled that about two
years ago intense excitement was
caused in this section through the at
tempt of the state constabulary to
capture an alleged "Black Hand"
Italian In a bouse at Florence, in their
efforts finally dynamiting and burning
down the house. Last week Senator
T. M. Kurtz introduced into the legis
lature a bill requesting permission to
sue the state for property damages sus
tained through the action of the con
stabulary. 15,800 is the amount asked
by tbe Italians whose property was
burned. The question Involved is not
the right of the state policemen to des
troy property in order to arrest and
take Into custody criminals, but wheth
er or not the state Is liable for damages
to property so destroyed and owned
bylaw-abiding citizens not responsible
In any way for the offender pursued by
the constabulary.
When moving give us a call. We
