SAVED MONEY
MAY LOSE LIFE
Polish Woman Horribly Burned
Monday When Her Home
Was Gutted.
Fire completely (jutted the residence
of Peter Valeric, formerly the Conway
property, near the Pennsylvania freight
station In Weal Roynoldsvillo shortly
before noon Monday, August 8th. In
an endeavor to rescue about $200 In
caHh' which was ou the second floor,
Mrs. Valeric wag horribly burned.
Whin she emerged from the burning
building her hair had been burned off,
t,ho flesh was falling from hor face
and neck and hor breast was livid and
cracked. But she had saved the money
and In the excitement of the moment
hardly knew the extont of her Injuries.
Later she collapsed, a physician was
called and after removal to a neighbor
ing house she was given all the aid
possible At one time it looked as
though the burns would be fatal, but
hope for her recovery is now expressed.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Valeric was
removed to the Adrian hospital for
treatment and at last report was In
very critloal condition.
The Valerlcs are Poles who con
ducted a boarding house. Monday
rooming someone spilled a large
quantity of kerosene oil on the back
porch and one of the children later
held a match close to the floor. In an
Instant the flames had spread over the
porch and shot up the wall. The house
was old and the Ore spread with fearful
rapidity up the walls and into the
rooms. Before any fire company could
reach the scene the whole house was
a mass of flames and though not large,
- the fire was one of the most stubborn
to control that the local firemen have
ever had. Water was thrown on the
house by Hope Fire Company for over
an hour before it became safe to
venture into the place. An element of
danger was aided by the presence only
few rods away of the big oil tank of
the Atlantio Refining Company. Very
little of the furniture was saved. It is
said that the house and furnlturo were
well oovered by insurance.
August Criminal Court.
An exceptionally large number of

charges range all the way from assault

Building Big Concrete Arch.
Work is now in progress on a big 340
foot concrete arch to span Pitch Pine
Run at the point whore it crosses
Fourth and Grant streets. The work
was authorized at the last meeting of
the borough council and will be super
indtonded by George W. Kline, of this
place. The old stone and plank bridge
which was built ten years ago was fall
ing Into ruins and the new bridge
became a necessity.
The big concreto arch will commence
at a point on the east side of the alloy
In rear of the Delble wagon factory,
cross the alley and run along Fourth
Btreet for about 126 feet, then diagonal
ly cross Fonrth and Grant streots to the
lot of Councilman Frank a. Hoffman
making 242 feet. This is tho extent of
the borough work, but Mr, Hoffman
has given Mr. Kline a private contract
to continue the conorete arch 100 feet
further through his lot, making a con
tinuous arch of 342 feet. Gas and water
pipes run along Grant street and these
must be changed, the water pipes being
lowered below the stream, the gas pipes
being placed ' higher. To make the
work substantial Mr. Kline Is scooping
out all loose ground along the bed,
going down to a solid base. The water
from Pitch Pine Run has been divert
ed into the borough sewers until the
job is completed.
When this arch Is finished, Delble
Brothers have announced their inten
tion of building a walk along the Grant
street side of their wagon faotory and
thus removing one of the danger Bpots
In the borough. Soveral times the
borough has narrow'y escaped damage
suits through accidents that have
occured at the Grant and Fourth street
crossing, due to the open stream.

Atwdyearold child of A.Koslnski,
of WeBt Reynoldsville miraculously
escaped death Saturday about 12.50 p.
m. while playing In the alley In rear of
StBtiller's grocery store. A team of
horses hitched to a heavy hay rig,
standing near the Pennsylvania freight
station, became frightened and started
to run. About two rods from the
freight bouse the horses plunged down
an embankment and the tongue of the
wagon fell to the ground. With this
scraping the road the horses raced
down the alley and the child, unable to
get-out of the way quickly, was knocked
down. The horses galloped over the
infant and not a hoof struck It, but a
wheel of the heavy wagon ran over one
Ice and for a time It was thought death
was near. Recovery Is now anticipated.
The horses were stopped after a long
run.

GREAT SNAIX I WHAT AWFUL
MONSTER CAN THIS BE 7
Two Legged Reptile of Hideout snd Malignant
Mien Win Seen by Two Gentlemen of
Unquestioned Verscity.
William Tyson and Floyd Henry, two
gentlemen of undoubted veracity,
vouch for the authenticity of a strange
tale of a two-legged snake or other
unclassified reptile which they en
countered on the road between the
the farms of Henry and Robert Smith.
They aver that while walking along
the road wrapped In solemn meditation
they saw emerging from a stone pile
what they supposed to be a black Snake
probably four feet In length. They
commenced to stone It and the snake
was knocked over on its back, when
they were astounded to notice on Its
under side just a few inches from Its
head, two well formed three inch legs,
the like of which they bad never en
countered before and have not since
been able to find on any bird, beast or
reptile in the encyclopedia. In their
astonishment they left the reptile right
Itself and it disappeared through a
fence along the side of the road. They
followed with clubs but were unable
to find any trace of it. If to this
Birange tulo you say "mere aint no
sich'n thing," they simply reply that
they saw It with their own eyes.
WILL BUILD NEW ROAD.- -
Wmslow Township Supervisors Decide to
Construct Roid South of Reynoldsville.
At a meetlne of the supervisors of
Winslow township held at Frank's
Tavern Saturday It was decided to
oonstruct a road over the bill from the
plant of the Reynoldsville Brick and
Tile Company to the farm of Curt
Wells in South Winslow township.
The new road will make It much more
convenient for farmers living in that
section to reach Reynoldsville, and
enable them to come into town without
driving along the track of the trolley
line with the constant danger of horses
becoming frightened.
After this road has been completed it
Is probable that the county will be asked
to build a new iron bridge over the
Sandy Lick creek at the Brick and Tile
plant. The present wooden struoture
has been In use eight years and shows
the effect of constant wear. .
The Kyle Run Dam.
The huge conorete core wall for the
Kyle Run dam, whioh is being con
structed by the B., R, & P. three miles
below Falls Creek, has been completed
with the exception of a small retaining
wall at the toe uf the mass of conorete
work that Is now done, and the work
has otherwise progressed nloely and the
results are fully up to the expectations,
In fact, better and those in a position to
know state that the capacity of the dam
wlllibe nearer five million gallons than
four as was originally expected, but the
work will not be oompleted by the time
cold weather sets In, it belnr the belief
that It will be spring before the huge
reseryolr Is filled for the first time.
The concrete work on the cam Is
an engineering feat that is somewhat
out of the ordinary. Especially Is this
so of the gate house, which is situated
In the middle of the dam and is entirely
of conorete, even to the 'door. The
entire building is re-inforced with steel
and built to do service a considerable
length of time. A foot bridge will
conneot it with the breast of the dam.
The oonstruotion work continues to
attract much attention and each day
sees a number of Interested visitors on
the scene of activity, which stretches
over an area of several square miles.

Lodge of the order In Pennsylvania will
be held In Williamsport next year and
when the delegates came to consider
the question of a place for holding the
