very favorable reports were received
at Reynoldsville concerning bis con
dition, therefore, the announcement of
bis sudden death was not only a great
surprise, but was a great shock to his
relatives and nost of friends In Reyn
oldsville and elsewhere. It could hard
ly seem possible that he had departed
this life. '

Atteonthe 6.08 p. ra. train over the

Stephenson, was topsy turvey prepar
atory to moving Into another house.
' Before Mrs. Reynolds arrived In
Reynoldsville with body of her husband
arrangements were made to hold the
funeral service In Presbyterian church,
but when she arrived Bhe requested
that the service be held at resldonce,
as Dr. Reynolds had made a special
request that when he died that his
body never be taken to a cburob fo"
1 ub oral service., The service was hold
-at the Alexander residence at 2 00 p.
m. Saturday, conducted by Rev. A.

' phuroh, assisted by Rev. John F.
Black:, pastor of the M. E. church. Six
physicians of Reynoldsville aoted as
pall bearers. Interment was made In
the Reynoldsville cemetery beside the
body of Doctor's only dauuhter, Mrs.

Hun Over By Trolley
Car And Yet Survives
Remarkable Experience Of A
Soldier Man Last Saturday
Evening.
Herman Morgan, a miner, of Soldier,
had the hair-raising experience of be
ing run over by a trolloy car Saturday
night and surviving to toll the tale,
with only a broken oollar bone, a gash
on the head and a few bruises as me
mentoes of his thrilling and Involun
tary feat.
About 7 30 Saturday, when Motorman
Willis Moot was running the
Jefferson Traotlon Co. car from Reyn
oldsville to Syesvllle at a pretty rapid
clip down the grade' past Romantlo
Park, he noticed suddenly between the
rallB Immediately ahead a man laying
at full length. Tne brakes were ap
plied but It was Impossible to stop the
car until it had passed thirty feet or
more over the prostrate man. Those
who went baok to Investigate found the
man was Herman Morgan and he was
apparently unconscious. From this fact
arose the report, widely circulated,
that Morgan had been'Hnstantly killed."
Morgan Is said to have been drinking
Saturday and Is supposed to have fallen
asleep on the 'rack. He was taken to
Sykesvllle for medical examination.
His collar bone had been broken and
bead cut and it was thought best to
take him to the Adrian hospital for
treatment.

About the first of the present year

game and to send out a challenge to
some of the more experienced players
as soon as they thought themselves
capable of defeating their antagon
ists, go recently, thinking themselves
equal to the occasion they sent out a
challenge, which was accepted at onoe
by two of the more experienced players
and the games were arranged for and
were played on Monday with a decided
ly easy victory for the old players. A
series of seven games were played and
were defeats for the new players.

Success As An Evangelist
In That City.'
Dr. J. A, Parsons, former pastor of
the Reynoldsville Methodist Episcopal
church, Is now conducting a great' un
ion evangellstlo meeting at Jeannette,
Pa., and has succeeded In arousing re
markable enthusiasm. Sunday's Pitts
burgh Leader devoted a oolumn to s
report of the work and accompanied i
with an excellent picture of Dr. Par
sons. Following Is an extract from tht
artlole: A Stirling religious revival has taken
firm root In Jeannette, and where
sounds of morrlmeot were heard, there
have taken their place the prayers of
Christian workers and penitents, spur
red on to a new life through, the exhor
tations of Rev. J. A. Parsons, of Mead
vllle, the evangelist who has been called
to this field. Nightly meetings are
held, some in the various churches,
while through the day the school
houses, the many glass works, the rub
ber factory, resound with the voice of
the evangelist amid the whirring of
wheels ai.d the rumbling of engines.
Dr. Parsons has stirred the commun

minus the sensationalism, of "Billy"

Pittsburgh. At the Sunday meetings
there are crowds grehtnr than ever as
sembled at like meetings In Jeannette.
Saturday nights thore is a street parade
led by a brass band, in which' hundreds
join, marching through the streets and

White Slave
Agent Foiled
Reynoldsville Girl Exposed A
Dastardly Attempt to Lure
Girls to Fort Wayne.
Chlof-of-Pollo.i F. V. Adolsperger, of
lleynoldsvllle, whs Instrumental In sav
ing four girls, two from Reynoldsville
nnil two from DuBoIb, from being' lured
to Fort Wayne, Indiana, to enter bouses
of prostitution. Tbe latter part of last
week a woman from that city supposed
to have been Myrtle Boring, a former
resident of DuBols, came to Reynolds
ville to act as a procuress for evil re
sorts Inberotty. She was richly dressed
and by promises of a life of luxury and
Indolenoe succeeded In getting, two
Ileynoldsvllle girls to agree to accom
pany ber back to Fort Wayne. Leav
ing Reynoldsville tbe woman wont to
DuBols and started ber infamous cam
paign for recruits among her former
friends. Two girls had promised to
leave their homes when the ffu5oIs
online received warning from Chief
Adolspergor to look out for her. They
located tbe Boring woman promptly
and placed her under surveillance.
When ready to leave, hor victims were
prevented from accompanying her.
One of the girls was placed under ar
rest an 3 after a severe "sweating" pro
cess made complete confession not only
of all that Myrtle Boring had promised
but of her own life in DuBols, revealing
moral conditions In tbe city said to be
startling in the extreme. Nearly a
soore of young men and women are in'
criminated by hor tale and there may
be unsavory later developments. Tbe
girl was sent to Cloarflold and placed In
charge of Sheriff Allen, the probability
being that she will eventually be sent
to a House of Rofuge.
Chief Adolspergor became aware of
tbe nefarious work going on tnough
the bold action of one of Myrtle Boring's
victims in this place. This girl went
to Punxautawney on the trolloy with
fho intention of joining tbe procuress
at DuBols and escaping pursuit, but at
Punxsutawiey her better nature re'
yolted at the'thought of the shameful
career she was entering upon. She
made a quick resolve to return to her
Reynoldsvlflt' home and prevent if pos
ilble the other girls from being led into
the trap. Hunting up Chief Adelsper
ger she revealed the whole story so far
as she knew it. Adelsperger got into
communication with the DuBols police,
with the result that the Fort Wayne
woman was foiled in her plans at both
places. Singularly, though knowing
the enormity of the woman's orlme, tbe
DuBols police allowed ber to leave un
molested.

The attention of all members of the

to I he ditto of the annual elect ion of

day, Anrll Cth. Nominations were
marie at the meeting three weeks iigo,
bul If desired still other namis may
be suggested next Monday night. Tbe
Association at thn present time (ihs
about forty representative business
men enrolled and deserves the support
of all. Its work Is familiar to local
people, and It has a distinct and useful
place In Reynoldsville affairs. Like
most associations, it has boen handi
capped in Its work by lack of a good
sized reserve fund, but notwithstand
ing that has succeeded In interesting
several oonoerns In Reynoldsville.
Mindful of the fact that Reynoldsville
people have bad an unfortunate ex
perience with stock-taking proposi
tions In the past, the present Associ
ation has refused to consider anything
of that nature so far and has worked
on propositions that seemed meritor
ious and asked little or nothing In this
way. Such opportunities are not
numerous, but' that they sometimes
occur has been demonstrated by the
local Association during the past year.
Dolliver, The Finest
Orator In the Senate
Senator J. P. Dolliver will appear in

A few years ago Hon. Sam Clark
visited Fort Doge to address tbe Upper
Des Moines Editorial Association.' He
was the guest of Senator J. P. Dolliver,
and when he went home he wrote tbe
best short biography of tbe noted
Congressman that has appeared: "Two

Is Announced

Tracks.
The Franklin & Cliar field railroad is
going to uih the trncks of the B., R. &
P. from Roynolrinville to Clearfield is
the announcement, coming from an of
ficial source, following an Inspection
trip over the C & M. and It. & F. C.
branches made by Lake Shore officials
last Tuesday. '
It was stated to-day that all tbe pa
pers necessary , to give tbe western
people trackage rights have been signed
and that tbe agreement becomes effec
tive on the first day of next August,
The Lake Shore will use tbelr own
rails to Brookvllle and the Pennsyl- '
vanla to Keynoldsvllle. From there
the B, R. & P. (R. & F. C.) will be
used to DuBols and the C. & M. from
DuBols to Clearfield, where connection
Is made with the New York Central.
! Pseparations are already being made
by the B , R. & P. to begin the work of
straightening tbe line, 'rebuilding the
bridges and culverts and replacing the
Iron with heavy steel to accommodate
the increased traffic that is coming.
Several months will be needed in which
to do this and some changes will have
to be made on the Clearfield branch. ,
What volume of traffic will be car
ried over the Franklin & Clearfield at
first Is a matter for conjecture, but It Is
reasonable to suppose that It will not
be of large proportions so long as tbe
single tracks of twn other systems are
used the Low Grade and B , R. & P.
