A Pointer for the Courier.

On Saturday afternoon a number of
men and boys carried on regular
fusilade of snOwballing at the intersec-
tion of the b., r. & p. R'y and Long
avenue. The Erpress is in receipt Of a
number of complaints from persons who
witnessed the affair. Every sleigh that
passed was target for shots. Those
that contained women and children
were not excepted. Several persons
who wanted to pass went around by the
side streets in order to avoid being hit.
The affair lasted over an hour and dur
ing portion of the time was witnessed
by borough officer. No arrests were
made.-DuBois Erpress.

Stole an Oyercoat,

A sleighing party from this place
went to Dubois last Friday night and
stopped at the Central Hotel. About
the time they were ready to start for
home one of the party, who is not far
advanced in his teens, stole the pro-
prietor's overcoat and brought it to
Reynoldsville with him. On Saturday
T. F. Casey, proprietor Of the hotel,
came to this place in search Of his
overcoat, and was not long in finding
out who had stolen it. AS the boys
parents are respectable people warrant
was not issued for him, but an officer
accompanied Mr.. Casey to the boys
home and got the coat and money
enough to pay expenses Of coming to
Reynoldsville. 1t behooves that father
toimpress his offspring in very forcible
manner that he must not steal other
peoples property.

Threats Didn't Count.

Two men, who claimed to be from
Glen Hazel, were in Reynoldsville last
Wednesday soliciting aid for the miners
Of that section. At several business
places where they asked for money and
were informed that Reynoldsville had
enough to do to take care of our own
people, they made threats as to what
they would do il the persons asked did
not respond. One place they said they
would boycott the proprietor, and at
another place they said the names of all
who refused to give would be published
and would injure the mans business.
The threats, however, had an opposite
effect from what the parties who made
them thought they would have.

Revival Closed.

The revival services in the NJ. f.
church at this place, which had been in
progress even weeks, closed last Sunday
night. One hundred and seventy-two
were at the altar and one hundred and
sixty-one of that number joined the
church on probation. A few joined
other churches in town. This was the
biggest revival the Methodists have
had at this place since the winter of
1885, when Rev. G. Peters had such a
large revival that an addition had to be
built onto the church.

Stopped the Wrong Party.

A number Of the members of the
Presbyterian Endeavors Society, Of this
place, drove to Dubois in sleighs last
Friday evening and took supper at that
place. just as they were leaving
the town two men stopped the
party and accused them of stealing
an overcoat. The young people were
greatly astonished at such an ac-
cusation, but as they were perfectly
innocent it did not take long for them
to start on their way again. The
Christian Endeavor party thought the
men could have made their business
known in a more gentle manner.

Chas. A. jerks, nephew of Hon. Geo.
A. jerks, has received the appointment.
1t is said that he is young man thor

he is Prohibitionist. This is the first
man of that political persuasion that
has been honored with a postoffice from

Punxsutawney. He was not the only

Punxsy's Y. M. c. A.

We were at Punxsutawney last
Thursday and having little leisure
time, Hon. w. o. Smith invited us to
to take look through the Young Mems
Christian Association of that place.
We entered the reading room on the
second floor which was we'll supplied
with papers, magazines and books, also
different kinds Of games. Adjoining
this room is parlor nicely furnished.
Folding doors from this room opened
into large room for holding religious
services on Sunday. In the rear of the
building is bath room. The gym
nasium is on the first floor. This part
Of the building was just being made
ready for the boys to use the day we
visited the place. The building, for
which the b., r. & p. R'y Co. pays the
first years rent, is nicely finished
throughout and well arranged for such
an association. II. l.. Watson, the
general secretary of the Y. M. G. A., is
a very polite and accommodating
gentleman. The Association now has
245 members. The reading room is free
to any person who wants to frequent it,
but it costs five dollars year for the
privileges of the bath room and
gymnasium. Last Wednesday was
known AS 'book day" and about 300
volumes were given to the Association.
The books were not of Il trashy line, but
the best books by the best authors.
II Punxsutawney can have a Y. NJ.
C. A., what is there to prevent Reyn-
oldsville from having one too? What do
you say, will we have one? II we had
such an institution in our town the
young people would be greatly benefited
BY it, and there would be less "yellow-
backed" literature devoured here. The
influence Of Y. M. c. A. tends to
euoble the boys and young men Of any
community where it is found.

Their Names Not There.

A number of the voters of this bor-

many years, had to answer number Of
questions, sign their names to docu-
ment provided, swear to the questions
they had answered and then have some
one identify them before they could vote
yesterday. The cause therefor was be-
cause their names had been left off the
register book in some manner. The
initials of many OF the voters appeared
on the register wrong, but those persons
were permitted to vote.

TWO KILLED.

SMITHvILLE, TEX, October %
This forenoon shooting occurred on
our streets, and, as a result, a white
man and a Negro lie ready for the
grave. Frank Scott, negro eX-
school teacher, and Charles Chapel,
a negro gambler, for some time past
have been at loggerheads, and this
morning they met and Scott pulled
his pistol and fired at Chapel, miss
ing him. Chapel then caught hold
of Ed Turner, railroad brakeman,
and held him in front of him, but
Scott shot and hit Turner right above
the heart, killing him instantly
Turner's weight bore Chapel to the
ground, and as he (ChappeD was on
his hands and knees Scott walked
up to him and, holding the pistol
right over him, shot him through
the lungs, from which he died ir
about five minutes. Scott made nc
attempt TO escape and, as feeling fOl
a time ran high on account of the
cold -blooded murder of Turner, the
officers deemed it advisable to hurry
the assassin off to Bestrop, where ht
is now lodged in Jail.

RACE PREJUDICE AND SOUTH
ERN PROSPERITY.

A better day will yet dawn for the
South. The open, bitter antagon-
isms between the races are rapidly
dying out and all classes are dispos-
ed to work for the betterment of af-
fairs in the Southland.
Occasionally, the demagogue, who
hopes for political ascendency there
by makes an appeal to the worse
prejudices and attempts to array one
race against the other, but the re-
sponse to such efforts is not at all
gratifying and the expectant Negro
hater and prejudice breeder relapses
into silence, having only ascertained
that he struck the wrong chord, {,
from which he could not secure the
proper music.
There are liberal minded white
men of the South Of Democratic pro-
clivities. who have become sickened
by the appeals Of the ayaricious pol
itician, and who refuse to allow the
friendship between them ana their
colored friends to be severed by clap
trap nonsense or appeals with refer
ence to visionary conditions which
do not now, and never can exist.
We are about to deal with econo1n-
ic questions upon broad basis,
without being hedged in or annoyed
by embarrassing issues which mis-
chievous and unprincipled hirelings
would force upon US.
The prosperity Of the South must
necessarily mean the betterment OF
the condition, to greater or lesser
extent Of all the people living within
it's borders.
When either party Injuries the ma
terial prosperity of Virginir, il
should be our duty regardless Of
race or color to enter our protest.
Any other course is not only unpa
triotic to the section in which we
live, but directly injurious to our.
selvef and those dependent upon Us
for support. rt.-RichmOnd Planet.
