POSITIVELY BENEVOLENT.

The railroad monopoly thinks Itself en-
Titled to claim credit for an occasional re-
auction of rates. Actually it expects an
expression of gratitude from rasin-grow-
eFs because the rates have recently been
Ie1uced.. To say that they have been re-
duced without asking is true in one sense.

The electric engineer is going well ahead
when he considers there is economy as
well as speed in thrty-ton locomotive
driven by the mysterious force with which
so much is being achieved to-day. One
which has been completed at Lynn, Mass,
is calculated to run thirty miles an hour
and drag after it number Of passenger
cars. Such a locomotive is little more
than a third the weight of many steam
locomotives, but il the power can be trans
mitted 10 produce still higher speed at a
moderate cost there is no mechanical oar
TO constructing electric engines just as
heavy as is needed for all traffic. The
electric engine gets rid OF considerable
amount of weight by not requiring boiler
and furnace, and the tender with coal and
water is unnecessary. For light traffic the
new locomotive must be found very
serviceable, but vast progress must be
made ere it supplants steam Tor heavy and
very fast work. Should Edison work out
the problem of producing electricity d.
rectly from coal, the electric railway Will
al once take the lead.

he can do in the manufacture OF sapphlres

BOARDING GOLD.

An Eastern gold paper says there is Just
as much money In the country BOW as
there was six months ago. This statement
will be true when the gold imports CT the
last half of the year are equal TO The i'm
ports of the first half. But tbs gold that
has gone out OF the country is not the
cause of the trouble II is the purpose of
the administration to demoneiize half OF
the money in the country. Money always
conceals itself when there is prospect of
a rise in value. 1t was so from 1875 to
1873, when greenbacks were working their

The New Train.

The new passenger train between
Reynoldsville and Clearfeld made its
first trip Monday. At present the train
leaves here at 7:10 A. NJ, arrives at
Clearileld at 9.15 A. M: leaves there at
11.20 A. M. and arrives at Falls Creek at
100 p. NJ; returning to Cleariield, leaves
Dubois at 200 p. NJ, arrives at Clear
fed at 3.45 p. NJ; leaves there at 5.15
p. M, and arrives here at 7.30 p. NJ. It
Is expected that the noon train will
soon be changed to run on to Reynolds
vile, the terminus Of the road. The
fare to Falls Creek is % cts, Dubois
30 cts. and TO Clearfield $l.15. The
train starts from the Company store,
but 1t will stop at Main street crossing
for passengers. Engineer p. III. Han
non and conductor b. d. Laverey have
charge of the train.
Dubois, Punxsutawney and Falls
Creek have each been claiming their
town to be the terminus of the road.
The real terminus Of the Clearfield and
Mahoning road is at Jefferson line, but
the train and crew stop here all night
and start from Reynoldsville in the
morning, consequently all the news
papers in the surrounding towns may
claim their town the terminus of the
road, but Reynoldsville has it "all the
same" The editors of the Dubois
Courier, Punxsutawney Nccs and Falls
Creek Herald may claim the terminus,
but their readers and the public in gener-
al know that the editors are relieving
themselves of surplus OF 'boom" brag
for their towns, which holds the quill
drivers up for ridicule.

Board of Trade.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Trade was held in the Masonic
hall last Friday evening. Hereafter
the regular meeting, the first Friday of
each month, will be held in that hall
until further notice. Among the COM
munications read was one from a large
manufacturing establishment that is
looking for new location and also want
to enlarge the plant. OF course it is
generally expected that the various
committees will do most all the work,
yet the men who are interested in the
towns future should all attend the
monthly meeting and thus encourage
the committees by their presence, there
by showing that they have not lost inter-
est in the Board of Trade. A few men are
working, while there are others who
are Indifferent in the matter.

and G. F. Burnhan for Dubois, and
Hon. ID. l.. Krebs for Clearfeld The
addresses by Fairman and Arnold were
noted for the carelessness in which the
speakers handled the truth, but as they
are both legal lights and IL is generally
conceded that followers Of that profess
sion do not lack the prevaricating quail
fications little attention was paid to the
'fibs" about their towns.
Clearfeld is certainly pretty place,
and considering the fact that they have
paved streets, electric lights, water
works, fine large churches, good school
building, manufacturing establishments,
first-class stores, good hotels, a refined,
culture, high toned and pleasant class
of citizens, makes it town attractive to
visitors and is conductive OF drawing
people, who are looking for new location,
in that direction. Free carriages were
furnished for the use OF visitors. The
citizens OF that town succeeded grandly
in making it pleasant for all, which was
highly appreciated by the visitors. On
the other hand Clearfeld may we'll feel
proud of the delegation who visited
their town, and we say without fear Of
contradiction that the town never be-
fore had as many visitors within its
limits at one time who were as sober
and behaved themselves as seemly as
did the crowd on Tuesday. A drunken
man was not TO be found in the party.
This may be accounted for as far as Du-
Bois was concerned when IL is known
that they left home with the understand
ing, so we have been told, that whoever
got drunk at Clearfield was to be put in
the lookup when they returned to Du-
Bois.

Married at Buffalo.

Tuesday morning Of last week young
man of Reynoldsville and fair maiden
OF our town, to whom the young man
had been acting as gallant, left here on
the early train. We asked the young
lady where she was going and for min
ute she was embarrassed but finally said,
Sup to Dubois" We asked IL the
young man, who was then buying tick
cts, was going along, and in answer she
said, "Yes, part way" They did go to
Dubois but only to remain few hours,
where two tickets were bought for Buf-
falo, N. Y. Rev. Robertson performed
a ceremony in the park at Buffalo which
united j. L. Fugate and Miss Jennie
Motter in the bonds of matrimony. AL
though Reynoldsville people were ex-
pecting the courtship to end in mar
riage, yet they were surprised to hear
that they had gone to Buffalo for that
purpose. Miss Motter's parents knew
she was to be married soon and had
given their consent. The young couple
have rented rooms and gone to house,
keeping at Buffalo where Mr.. Fugate
has accepted position as clerk in
store. Jennie was the only daughter
and the home at Reynoldsville has been
made lonely that new home might be
established at Buffalo, N. Y.

A DAY IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Disorder Predominated in the House last
Wednesday.

WcuncSuHys
We were always under the impression
that IL required smart man to repre-
sent this Commonwealth in the Legisla-
ture, but after day in the House we
have concluded most any nincompoop
can smoke, chew tobacco and swear just
as Systematically as some Of the fellows
who help make the laws OF Pennsylvania.
Some OF the Representatives work for
the best interest Of their constituents
We discovered that William Orlando
Smith, Jefferson county's Representa-
tive, Is worker and that he has con-
siderable influence In the House. Mr..
Smith is not noted for long and loud
which is the best way of gaining the
desired end. One of the leading papers
of Philadelphia and the Pittsburg Conn
Inercidl Gazette count Smith in with the
few workers. jefferson county and her
Representative were not strangers in
the House.
The morning sessions open with
prayer and during the two minute
prayer was the longest time on Wednes-
day that there was sufficient order in
the House so that person could hear
what was being said. The Speaker
would bring the gavel down with great
force to call the House TO order and al
most as soon as the echo of the gayel on
the marbel had been waited on the
breeze confusion reigned again. Paper
balls were fired promiscously around
and it was only stopped by the speaker
threatening to call the sergeant-at-arms
to take charge of the parties who were
engaged in such boyish tricks il it was
not stopped II was not an uncommon
thing for a Representative to vote on a
bill without knowing what he voted for
and when informed what ii was he would
change his vote.
The members OF the Senate are a
trine more digniied and keep better
order. James G. Mitchell, the Senator
from this district. was prominent man
in the Senate and he looked after the
interests Of the district. Mr.. Mitchell
certainly had considerably influence in
the Senate. He was not much for
speeches, but he worked. This district
need not be ashamed of Senator Mitch
ellis work In the Senate.

Lost Her Pocket Book.

Miss Laura Patterson, of Beechwoods,
started to Reynoldsville last Saturday
with her pocket book in her coat pocket
and the coat was lying on her lap until
she came to the tannery and then she
put it on. When she got out of the
buggy at Jos. S. Morrow's store the
pocket book, which contained fifty-five
dollars in cash and deposit check for
one hundred and twenty-five dollars,
was gone. Miss Patterson went back
as far as the tannery, where she thought
she had the pocket book when the coat
was put on, but the book was not found.
There is no donbt but that some person
knows where it is, and II they are hon
est, the money will be returned to the
young lady when it is known who is the
owner. The finder will be rewarded by
leaving the pocket book and its contents
at the STAR office. Miss Patterson is
the daughter of a widow lady Of the
Beechwoods.

Injured in the Mine.

George Lorenz, miner, was so badly
injured in the Big Soldier mine Monday
morning that the doctors had no hopes
of his recovery. A shot had been fired
on Saturday which loosened up a portion
of the roof and on Monday George was
standing up, the vein is about six feet,
tapping the roof to find whore it was
loose when nearly six hundred pounds
fell upon him. His head was so badly
crushed that small portion of the
skull had to be removed and the frag-
ment raised off the brain. His nose
and upper lip were cut in two, his chin
badly cut up and his right thigh broken
in two places. The man seems to be
getting along nicely, all things con-
sidered

Enterprises that Help Our Town.

been matter of wonder to strangers
that town Of the size Of Reynoldsville,
with its business interests, did not have
a national bank; and great credit is due
to the projectors OF this new enterprise
in carrying it to completion. The
stockholders are, with but few excep-
tions, our fellow townsmen; all we'll
