RAILROAD RUMORS ABOUT .
FRANKLIN C& CLEARFIELD
Engineers of Lake Shore and
Pennsylvania In Town
Last Week.
JUNCTION AT REYNOLDSVILLE
Exact Route of the Road Is
A Matter for Conjecture but
Tnat It Will Pass Through
ReynoldsviUe Seems Certain.
One day last week two engineering
orewa Pennsylvania and Lake Shore
were in ReynoldsviUe, presumably to
see about. the connection from the P.
R. R. to the R. & F. C. R'y tracks (or
the Franklin & Clearfield, as there is
little doubt but what tbe P. R. R.
tracks will be used by the F. & C. (bom
Brookvllle to this place and the R. &
F. C. tracks from here to DuBois. This
however, so (ar as we can learn, Is not
The newspapers have built this line
k up Mill Creek via Aliens Mills and also
I up the Sandy Lick creek from Brook'
I vllle to Reynoidavllle, and from here
up Skunk Hollow to oonnect with the
B., R. & P. at tbe C. & M. Junction,
but as yet the Franklin & Clearfield
Co. has not made public their intended
'route. We venture tbe assertion that
when the road is built east of Brook
vllle that the ReynoldsviUe and Skunk
Hollow route will be tbe one selected,
i A special from Franklin on the 8th
inst. to the Philadelphia North Ameri
can says:
The announcement is made that tbe
Franklin and Clearfield branch of tbe
Lake Shore road will be opened for
both passenger and freight traffic about
July 15. Tbe branch has been com
pleted from Franklin to a point 54
miles southeast and tbe Lake Shore
officials went over the line this week
1 and made locations for seven stations.
Tbe most important stations on tbe
new branch are Sblppenville, where
connection Is made with the Baltimore
& Ohio narrow gauge from Butler to
Kane, and Kingsville, where a junction
will be formed with the Pittsburg,
Summervllle and Clarion. Reidsburg
is five miles from Clarion and it Is ex
pected that a trollev line will be run
from Clarion to East Brady, pasping
through Reidsburg and connecting
with the Franklin and Clearfield.
The road has now been completed to
within a mile and a half of Rose Siding,
where connection will be made with
' the low gradedivlslon of the Pennsyl
vania. Franklin and Clearfield trains
will run oyer the low grade from Rose
Siding to Falls Creek, passing through
ReynoldsviUe. From Falls Creok to
Clearfield trains will go over the Buf
falo, Rochester and Pittsburgh. Even
tually the Franklin and Cloai field will
have its own tine to Clearfield.
It will probably be a yes r before pas
senger trains are run further east than
Clearfield, although freight will be
sent beyond that point. From "Clear
fiold It will go over the Beech Creek
division of the New York Central to
Willlamsport, thence to Philadelphia
and New York over the Philadelphia
and Reading. As soon as the passenger
service begins trains will be run from
Clearfield westward to Franklin to oon
nect with through trains to Cleveland
and Chicago.

GEORGE W. STEWART
Prominent Jefferson County Man Dies
' After Long and Useful Career In
Brookvllle.
Expressions of shocked surprise were
heard on every lip on Tuesday evening
when it became known that George W.
Stewart was dead at his home in this
place,' the death messenger having
called him at 5.30 o'clock that evening.
Mr. Stewart had been ailing for some
time past, and for a couple of days pre
vious to his death had been in quite a
serious oundltlon, but bis many frlendB
were not prepared for the sad news of
bis demise, His aliment was a heart
affection, his death coming suddenly.

ber 11th, 1847, being In his 02nd year
at tbe time of his doath. He was united
In marriage October I3th, 1874, with
Miss Blanche Arthurs, daughter of the
late RIobard Arthurs, of this place,
this union being severed by the death
of the rife June 7tb, 1890. One son
was born to them, Arthur B. Stewart,
Esq., of Brookvllle, who survives his
father.
. Mr. Stewart was tbe soul of geniality,
and numbered his friends by 'hosts.
Among me younger generation par
ticularly be was a favorite, the ap
proach of age never affecting his boyish
disposition, and the death of "Pappy"
Stewart, as he was known to hundreds
of the young folks, brings a heart
twinge which only time can heal.
Tbe deceased was a member of the
EpUcopal church, with whloh he had
been Identified since Its organization
