"They Say"

''They say" is the most productive
plant in the garden of gossip. The man
or woman who is always loaded with
information about what "they say" can
usually be relied upon to spread scan
dial as the winds of the West spread fire
in the dry prairie-grass. When lot
Of old hens, either male or female, get
together and commence cackling about
what "they say" it generally results in
originating a scandal, whether any real
cause for it exists or not. 1t is kind
OF smokeless powder which these BUSH
whackers use in their attacks upon
society. 1t enables them to fire their
pellets Of malice and mischief without
being seen. Too cowardly to come out
openly, and make their charges, and
having no real authority for the
damaging assertions or insinuations,
they skulk behind the expression quoted
and significantly relate all about what
they say" throwing in many knowing
winks and mods, all the time expressing
sorrow, surprise and regret in true hypo-
critical style. 1t is good plan to
never give ''they say as an authority
for statement, particularly if it is of
nature to damage the good name of any
person.-EX.

A Villain Escaped.

A man by name of Chas. Thurston
wandered into Rathmel about two
months ago and got job of driving
mules In the Sprague mine. He done
very little talking at his boarding house
or anywhere else, and seemed to be un-
easy all the time, which was noticed by
those whom he was thrown in with, but
they could not understand the cause OF
his actions until last Thursday evening
when several officers made an unsuccess-
full attempt to arrest the man, whom
officers have been after for almost three
years for committing felonious rape
on a girl II years OF age on u lonely
road in Bradford county, and left his
victim, as he supposed, dead. The
Bradford county officer. Mr.. Jones, and
Officer Milliren, of Dubois, came to
Reynoldsville Thursday afternoon and
James Moore, of West Reynoldsville,
and Officer Milliren Went TO Rathmel
after Thurston. Mr.. Jones did not ac-
company them TO Rathmel because
Thurston knew him and he did not know
the man he was after. The two officers
drove to Rathmel and stopped at the
Central Hotel, about fifteen feet from
where their man was sitting at the
window OF his boarding house. He had
been housed several days with the
grip" The two men walked over to
Squire Hays Office and Thurston walked
close behind them for some distance.
He did not know they were after him
and they did not know he was the man
they wanted. After supper the officers
had their man located and Milliren was
stationed at the front door, Moore at
the rear Of the house and Squire Hays
was sent into the house. Moore found
the man coming out of the water closet
and grabbed him, but Thurston was not
so easily handled and slipped out of
Moore's clutches, leaving one pocket Of
his coat with the officer, and made
good his escape. When Moore got
hold of Thurston he called for help, but
before Milliren could get around the
house the prisoner was gone. Mr..
Moore says the big dog at the hotel

Is She an Impostor.

A young lady of this town solicited
town who are having difficulty at the
present time to keep the gaunt wolf OF
want from their homes. The girl
mailed the editor of THE STAR a notice
requesting that card be published
thanking those who gave, and to state
that what was given was thankfully
received by the parties for whom it was
solicited. Last Friday the girl in
formed us that she had solicited for Mr..
Mallett's family, but learning that Mr..
Lockyear's family was in need, she had
divided what she received between the
two families. We investigated the case
and up to noon yesterday the girl had
not given either one of the families
what she had gathered on their credit.
The girl said she got about twelve dol
lars, including few groceries. We
will withhold her name this week, and
II the money and goods are not handed
over by next week, we will not promise
to withhold the name longer. One of
the duties of a newspaper is to warn the
people Of impostors, and we do not in
tend to let such bold attempt to inn
pose on the citizens OF Reynoldsville
pass by unnoticed, for it certainly is an
attempt to get aid on another's credit,
because the girl said last Friday she
had given the money and groceries, and
yet up to yesterday the parties had not
received the aid. 1t is grave offense
to get money or goods on false pretense.

VISIT TO RATHMEL.
A Lively Town-Building up Fast
Over 1000 Inhabitants.

Over 1000 Inhabitants.
Rathmcl is located about three miles
northeast of Reynoldsville. II is a
mining town and It's population is
largely composed Of good class OF
laboring people who are building homes
for themselves. We have number of
subscribers at Rathmel, and as we have
never written up the town, trip was
made to that place last Saturday with a
view of giving our readers an idea OF
what kind Of place Rathmel is de-
veloping into. The town covers con-
siderable ground for the number of
people who live there, but 1t is build
ing up fast. Something like twenty
new buildings, including the large three
story building erected by the 2. o. S.
of A., were put up there during 1893.
One thousand souls, not including
Covertown or Dutchtown inhabitants.
dwell at Rathmel. The town contains
two churches, Methodist Episcopal
and Church Of God. The Presbyterians,
who now hold services In the M. f.
church, are talking OF building There
are two school houses at that place,
with five rooms in use; seven stores,
including drug and millinery store;
two hotels, one livery stable, three
barbershops and two pool rooms, three
halls, p. o. s. Of A., X. of l.. and Mike
KallfePs hall. The town is manned
with Justice Of the Peace, constable
and tax collector. Births, deaths and
marriages occur about as frequently
there as in any other town of its size
within radius Of many miles. The
people, generally speaking, are an in
telligent class. People who have not
visited Rathmel for several years would
be surprised TO visit the town now.
The buildings are all frame, but some
of them are very neat houses. The p.
o. S. of A. building is the largest and
best building in the town. The first
floor is used for a store room. second
floor for town hall and the third floor
lodge room. 1t is in this building that
the p. o. S. of A. boys expect to have
the big "blowout" on the 22nd OF this
month, Rathmel is pretty good town.
We expect some day that the little
vacant space between Rathmel and
Reynoldsville will be built up and then
it will all be one town.
We took dinner at the Central Hotel.
This is good hostlery. The proprie-
tors, George and James Hughes, are
gentlemenly fellows. The house is
three stories high and contains thirteen
furnished rooms. The table was well
supplied with eatables to satisfy the
inner man. The house is well fur
nished.
