GREAT THRONG VISITED REYNOLDSVILLE JULY FIFTH
RECORD MADE
HAULING FREIGHT
Pennsylvania Railroad Is Ex
perimenting With New
Types of Engines.
By (far the heaviest freight train ever
'hauled by one locomotive on any rail
road In this country, and probably In
the world, has been moved oyer the
Pennsylvania Railroad between Al
toona and. Enola, near Harrisburg, Pa.
A single locomotive, No. 1,113, on June
22nd, pulled a train of 105, steel cars
loaded with 6,844 tons of coal for 127
UIUOB iu i uuuro nuu la luiuuuooi v bi
n average speed of 17.6 miles an hour.
This record movement marks the
-culmination of a series of tests made
for the purpose of determining the
hauling power of the most Improved
types of locomotives used in the regular
freight service of the Pennsylvania
Railroad aver the best grades of the
system. That part of the line over
which the test was made from Altoona
to Enola presents at no point a greater
grade than twelve feet to the mile.
The latest link In the ohain of improve
ment which resulted in this extreme
reduction of grades and removal of
curvature was completed and opened to
ervlce recently between Mount Union
and Ryde. ,
Locomotive No. 1,113, which drew
this train, Is known technically as the
H-8-b type. It was built at tfre Al
toona shops of the Pennsylvania Rail
road and has a tractive power of 42,661
pounds. There were more than 105,600
pounds of coal In each car in the train.
The total weight of lading was,, there
fore, over 11,000,000 pounds. The en
tire train, Including engine, caboose
and cars weighed 7,644 tons, or 15,288,
'000 'pounds, and the coal alone 5,544
tons. The train stretched along the
track for 8,600 feet, more than two-
cruras oi a mue.
.The best previous record of a heavy
freight movement on the Pennsylvania
'Railroad was on June 18ths when a
4.tAln nt 04 ataAl AftM Inaifail with AAfll
and weighing 13,844,000 pounds, made
the run between Altoona and Enola in
? hours and 31 minutes.

everything nicely arranged. Some of
the Leaguers would like to have re

Probably the Largest Crowd Ever In The
Town For An Independence Day Celebration
A Day Of Magnificent Sport Was Marred Only By the Failure of The Bal
loonist To Ascend At The Announced Time.
MAIN STREET WAS A SCENE OF
Had there been nothing more to
ReynoldsviUe's Independence Day cele
bration than the presence of the im
mense throng upon the streets, it would
have been voted a notable success.. The
most sanguine expectations of the man
agers of the event concerning a crowd
were surpassed; it is questionable, in
fact, whether a larger number of people
ever congregated in Reynoldsville at
one time on any occasion. The thous
ands who came to witness the announced
features of the celebration discovered
that they were themselves, as a body,
as Interesting as anything on the pro
gram. In the crowd were large delegations
from Punxsutawney, DuBois and
Brook vllle and their presence will go
far towards cementing friendly feeling
between Reynoldsville and its neigh
boring towns. The citizens appreciate
deeply the good will shown.
A more beautiful day for a celebra
tion never dawned. A clear, limpid at
mosphere, a warm sun, tempered bv a
cool breeze, and the freshness of nature
combined for the success of the event.
The program of the day was marred
only by the inexplicable hard luck of
the balloonist engaged for afternoon
and evening ascensions. The balloonist
came to Reynoldsville under an iron
clad contract to make two successful
ascensions or receive no pay. It is not
conceivable, therefore, that there could
have been any deliberate Intention on
Mb part to fake the publio, for the fail
ure to go up meant heavy financial loss.
Jack Nelson, the balloonist, has an ex
cellent record, with dates at some of
the biggest amusement resorts in the
country. No man was more chagrined
at the accidents which twice prevented
ascension than he. He proved bis earn
estness and fearless by making a third
attempt after the twilight had fa'len.
The last effort was successful and Nel
son descended in his parachute near
Pleasant Avenue. The regrettable fea
ture was that the more than ten thous
and people who had gathered on the
ball ground to witness the afternoon
ascension could not be held to see the
aeronaut's final success.
The crowd was on the streets at 8.30
in the morning when the Sykesville
Silver Cornet Band and the Garabaldl
Italian Band from Walston opened the
program with coucerts at different
places. A hundred yard hurdle race
followed which was won by Leo Nolan,
cash prize $3.00; second prize, $2.00,
Charles Case, New Bethlehem. Half a
dozen boys entered a hundred yard race
whloh was won by George Bashor.
At 9.30 the band led the crowd over
to the ball ground to witness a game
of association football between Wisbaw
and Eleanora teams. The game was
new to practically all the spectators
and afforded a jolly hour's entertain
ment. Under the rules ,the ball must
never be touched with the hands, but
if impossible to kick it, there is noth

ing to prevent butting it with the head,
and it frequently happens that way.
And when half a dozen legs kick at the
ball there sometimes results a tangle
that sends the players sprawling in a
way that would delight a Rugby en
thusiast. WUhaw won the game by a
score of 3 to 0.
About eleven o'clock a oivio parade
was- formed on Main street in which
members of the Patriotic Order Sons
of America, Sons of Veterans, Knights
of Pythias, Independent Order Odd
Fellows, degree team of Improved Order
of Red Men, Princess Helena Society,
with the two bands and members of
Hope Fire Company with apparatus
participated. The line was formed by
Chief Marshal L. J. McEntlre, assisted
by Edward Burns, Jr. The march was
made through streets massed with
people and by their participation the

lodges aided materially In ensuring the
success of the celebration, and to them,
for this act, the committees are grate
ful. The last event of the morning was a
tug of war between members of the
P. O. S. of A. and K. of P., won by the
latter.
A band concert at 1.00 drew out the
crowd again and a hundred yard dash
race was pulled off on Main street. Leo
and W. P. Nolan carried off the cash
prizes. The former also demonstrated
himself the best runner In the town by
sweeping in the $3.00 prize in the pota

wheel struck the trolley rail at corner
of Fourth and Main streets and he
landed head first on the brick pave
ment and one of the other riders ran
over him, the bicyole running over his
neck. Mr. Moyer was picked up un
conscious, but soon revived. He was
taken to his home in a carriage. He
was not dangerously injured.

IN THE EVENING
Never a ball game on ithe local
groundB was witnessed by such a crowd
as that between Reynoldsville and
Eleanora. Burge and Gibson were the
battery for the Reynoldsville team and
the line up seemed strong. While they
played, the big balloon in the left field
slowly filled with gas. The Reynolds
ville team was playing well and had the
game well in band. Tha brown balloon
was towering high and tugging at the
ropes. Eleanora's players had taken
the bat and expectancy ran high. A
man or two had got on the bases, when
the mammoth balloon shot up leaving
the aeronaut standing below. Someone
bad blundered In affixing the parachute
to the balloon and It was fortunate for
Nelson that the rope broke close the
ground. Had It carried him higher be
fore breaking the fall would probably
have killed him.
And the game? Just what happened
there In the excitement it would be
difficult to tell. All the people knew
was that when they again turned to
the game the score was 8 to 4 in favor
of Eleanora. When the big balloon
came fluttering forlornly down the
Reynoldsville team went up in the air
to make amends. They did not stay
there long however and In the last three
innings made a courageous, up-hill
fight, nosing out a vlotor by one run.
Reynoldsville 9, Eleanora 8.
Nelson, the balloonist, again attempt
ed an ascension at 7.30 in the evening.
On this occasion the cut-off rope had
apparently been tied too tight with the
result that at the first tug of the as
cending balloon the parachute was sev
ered from the bag, leaving Nelson
below. This time the crowd showed
an ugly temper, and the balloonlst's
manager albO. (Twilight was falling
hut at the solicitation of members of
the committee he agreed to make one
more attempt. The third time the
parachute was tied on by two home
boys, one of whom had learned a trick
or two about tying knots in the navy.
That time it held and Nelson went up
with the bag,
Meanwhile the big crowd was jostling
around on Main street in the best of
humor. The fireworks were displayed
on vacant area near Frank's Tavern
and delighted the orowd. In the I. O.
O. F. hall a dance was in progress
throughout the evening and was well
patronized.
Altogether, the celebration, despite
the balloonlst's unfortunate failure,
may be voted an unqualified success.
The committees did all in their power
to present a good, olean program, free
from any taint of faking, and the visit
ors were praotlcally unanimous in ex
pressing their approval of the event,
an opinion whloh found further voice
in the generous praise given Reynolds
ville by the daily newspapers in this
part of the state.

The Man We Like.
The man whom we all respect and
like is the man who, without any axes
to grind, is kind and agreeable to all,
who is simple and frank in his manners,
and is obliging at all hours, willing and
anxious to be of service. Without any
pretensions to superior knowledge he
mingles freely with his fellows and
never appears to oppress anybody with
his dignity. He does not volunteer in
formation for the sake of exhibiting
his erudition.
The man we like does not affect to de
spise life or to discount the common
joys of the people. He sympathises
with those who Buffer and laughs
with those who rejoice. He is
not an egotist, . nor yet timid and
shrinking. He is modest without be
ing bashful, courageous, without being
ostentatious, and neat without being
priggish. He is loyal to his own elds
without being narrow or insolent, and
habitually preserves his serenity, and
when he has occasion to put in a klok
does it with the vigor of an army mule.
