The Century Co. has bought well
nigh the complete literary "out-put"
of Mark Twain during his year of
tatry and st. Nicholas will have serial
stories by this popular humorist
among the attra ctions of the new
year. For The Century he has written
a novel which is said to abound with
humorous and dramatic incident, and
in some chapters to be revelation of
tragic power. It's plot includes a
most ingenious employment of sci
ence in the detection Of crime. For
the boy and girl readers of st. nicholas
he has written ssTom Sawyer Abroad"
being the adventures of Tom Sawyer,
accompanied by Huckleberry Finn
and the negro "Jim,' in the Eastern

CONGRESS-.

The long Wrangle in congress con-
tinues. Senator Voorhees,, who is try
ing to force a vote in the senate on
the silver question, is blocked in his
way from day to day, with no imme
date prospect OF being able to accom-
plish his purpose. Meanwhile south
ern democrats in the House are ask
ing for a repeal Of the election laws,
and a bitter fight is on in that body.
The law which the ballot box suffers
and false counters ask to have re-
moved is the only law that guards the
ballot box at all, and is simply
statute which provides that the Fed
eral courts, on due application, shall
appoint election officers from the diff
ferent parties who shall have certain
rights at the polls, and only to pro-
tect voters in their own rights.
This law applies to the whole country
alike and nobody objects to it except
the Southerners, who are determined
that the negro shall not vote and the
corrupt villains in the great cities,
notably New York City, where the
voter is at present decently protected
from mob violence and where there is
some chance to see that the vote is
fairly counted.
The attempt is made only by those
who are seeking to destroy the rights
of voters and who want unfair cleo
tons. Such efforts always produce a
reaction, and carried too far will re-
suit in trouble, if not in war.
There is a rift in the clouds. Faint
and yet definite signs of improve
ment are all the better because thew
come, not from possibly delusive
hopes or from momentary foreign aid, |
but from the good sense and the won /
derful recuperative power of the peo-
pie themselves. Business is trying to
go ahead without waiting for Wash

Bank Creditors Meet.

1t was announced in the Ridgway
papers last week that meeting would
be held at that place yesterday after
noon for the purpose of taking some
steps to secure and protect the creditors
of the Ridgway Bank, which closed its
doors the 22nd of June. The call for
the meeting was signed by long list
OF prominent citizens of Elk county,
and there is no doubt but that the
meeting was well attended. Many of
the laboring men in and around Ridg-
way had their 'little all" in the bank
and it is to be hoped they will get
dollar for dollar on their deposits.
Closing Of the bank doors closed the
Worlds Fair to many in Ridgway. Mr..
Oyster, however, had enough "boodle"
left to attend the Columbian Exposition.

THREE STORY BRICK.
The Wooden Mill to be Built In this
Borough

Borough.
Since the morning Of July Goth, 1893,
when the large woolen mill Of Sykes. AL
lis Il Moorhouse ascended heavenwards
In blaze and smoke, the question has
been, will they rebuild their mill at Reyn-
oldsville again? Inducements were Of
fered TO the wooden mill men from other
towns TO persuade them TO move. In
the meantime the Reynoldsville Board
Of Trade, which Is yet an infant, was
making an effort to keep the mill In
our own town, where II rightly belongs,
and we are glad 10 make the statement
that the Board Of Trades efforts we're
not In vain, for the work of excavating
for the foundation for three-story
brick woolen mill has begun. We be-
lieve we are safe In saying that had IL
not been for the Board Of Trade the
woolen mill would not have been re-
built here. The Board Of Trade recog-
nized the fact that II II was unable TO
keep manufacturing establishment In
town that was burned out here, IL would
not be able TO induce outsiders 10 move
manufacturing establishments into our
town.
The Board Of Trade secured the loan
Of 100000 for Sykes, Allis & Moor
house and $4,000 was raised In town
and given TO the firm 10 help buy the
the three lots from Lawyer Cam.
Mitchell, at tho corner Of jackson and
Third streets, which were purchased at
consideration Of $4,000.
The new mill will be built near the
corner Of jackson and Third streets,
west Of the Lutheran church. The
buildings to be erected are as follows:
The main building, 40xl00, three-stor-
les high engine house, 20x4O feet, two
stories high, dye house 30x50 feet. All
70 be built Of brick. The work will bo
pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible
Jackson and Third streets have never
been opened in the location Of the new
mill, but Burgess Hays put force Of
men on the streets last week TO open
them up for travel The streets would
not have been opened perhaps for years
had 1t not been for the building Of the
wOolen mill In that locality.

John Kellar Knocked Down,

John G. Kellar, the shoe maker, mar
rowly escaped serious injury last Friday
as the evening twilight hOvered over
Reynoldsville. Mr.. Kellar was crossing
Main street, near Trudgen's grocery
store, and John Flick and another gen.
tleman were driving up street in bug
gy. Flick saw Mr.. Kellar and tried to
stop his horse, which was hard to han
die, but before he could stop the nag
he could not turn aside because q pile
of plank were on the street-Mr. Kel-
lar was knocked down and the front
wheel OF the buggy ran over his breast.
He escaped with fright, bloody nose
and was little sore for few days.
Flick was "hauled-up" before the Bur-
CESS, but as he was not driving fast and
could not manage his horse, he was dis
charged without paying fine.

Echo Says Who?

One evening last week about half
past seven we were travelling along
Fifth street, toward Main ST., and
noticed across the street whom at first
we supposed were three young men
walking along leisurely each putting at
fresh lighted cigar, and when nearer
the trio We were astonished to discover
three young females Of our town.
We will not publish their names this
time but promise them II we ever see
them parading the streets again with a
cigar between their lips we will feel at
liberty, after this warning, to give
their names to the public. There are
not many more disgusting sights than
to see woman with a cigar in her
mouth. Better things are expected
from ladies than for them to soil their
lips, pollute their breath and have
tobacco about their clothing.

A Bold Robber.

Joseph Schneider lives on Pleasant
avenue and keeps boarders. Saturday
morning young man called at the
house and asked for boarding. He told
Mrs. Schneider that he was going 10
work at the engine house at night and
wanted quiet place 10 sleep during the
day. After getting permission to board
there he said he had worked Friday
night and wanted 10 go 10 bed. The
lady Of the house went up stairs and
examined the trunks Of the boarders
and found them all locked and then the
young man was assigned 10 the bed he
was 10 sleep In. He undressed and
went TO bed but did not stay there long.
He came down stairs and said the rain
kept him awake and he would go over
town and get his trunk. Mrs. Schneider
ran up stairs and found the trunks un-
locked and gold watch and some
money missing. She made haste 10 get
down stairs again and out on the
street after the new boarder. She
called 10 him and the fellow stopped
and she requested him 10 return the
money and watch. They went back to
the house and up stairs together and
the thief put the watch and money,
$500, into the trunks from whence he
had taken them and he requested the
woman not 10 say anything about IL.
She threatened what she would do and
the fellow grabbed for her, but she was
too quick for him and ran down stairs.
The daylight burglar ran TO the window
10 jump out but discovered the game
was up" for several men we're already
on the ground and one Of them had
brought his shot gun along. When
Mrs. Schneider went up stairs with the
thief she told her little daughter, In
German language, 10 give the alarm
and the fellow did not understand what
was said. John Fink, with his shot
gun, guarded the thief until Frank
Addlesperger arrived. The fellow told
Addlesperger that his name was William
James and that he was from Reading,
Pa. The police asked him what he
was doing at the house. His answer
was, 81 was after money" William
was locked up until after dinner and
was then taken before Squire Nef for
hearing. He acknowledged TO taking
n watch chain which was found on him
after he was put into the lookup. He
thought because he had put the money
and watch back they should let him go,
but the law differed with William and
he was taken to Brookville Jail Satur-
day night where he will remain until
December before he gets trial.

low who was lettering around on Russ
street and acted so suspiciously when
Miss Lou Foust was on her way home

question, was seen on the streets at two
o'clock Saturday morning with a

ring with twenty-five keys on it In the

mostly trunks and bureau keys. II Is

A Fair Affair.

Jos. M. Hutchison and Miss Jemima
Hawthorne, fair lad and lassie OF
Pancoast, boarded the early train
Wednesday morning, Sept. Goth, 1893,
and paid their fare TO Cleariield where
they intended visiting the county fair.
The young couple had previously
decided that IL would be fair for them
to have the nuptial knot tied They
called on Rev. DR.. II. A. Mckinley,
Presbyterian pastor at Cleartield, and
before him they made the solemn VOWS
which allowed the minister TO announce
the twain one. Joseph paid the
preacher the regular matrimonial fare
for making them one, and the benedict
found out before he got home that he
had to pay railroad fare for two just
the same as he did before the preacher
said they were one. When Joseph and
his bride got back TO Pancoast
Friday evening they were not forgotten
by the male portion Of that hamlet.
The martial band and the calithum-
plans, with two circular saws,
tin pans, tin horns, &C., played
a few delightful (?) pieces before they

naders. We hope as the couple traverse
