Will be Settled Friday.

The Board OF Trade met on Friday
evening to hear the report Of the COM
mittee that had been appointed TO solic-
1t stock for the proposed wire glass
works in Reynoldsville. The committee
asked for an increase OF the committee
and more time. The main object for
more time was to investigate the scheme
and fully understand whether it would
be safe Investment TO place so much
capital against the patent and expert
ence offered as half the capital stock,
also to get some positive assurance that
Messrs Stauffer and Gregg would be re-
leased from the Falls Creek people
without danger of future trouble. These
two men were at the meeting and had
legal papers giving them freedom from
the Falls Creek people. Harvey L.
Hoke, II. Alex. Stoke, J. G. Swartz,
William Coping and Isaac London
were added to the committee to raise
the stock. The shares were put at
5000 instead Of $4,000, as was settled
on at the previous meeting. The com.
mittee was given until Friday evening,
April 5th, the regular meeting night OF
Board Of Trade, to make their report
on the amount OF stock raised. AT that
meeting it will be definitely settled
whether Reynoldsville is to have glass
plant or not.

Two Lamps Fell.

Glenn A. Milliren uses large oil lamps
TO light his clothing store. The lamps
are arranged with heavy bell cord and
pulleys so that two lamps are on the
same cord and the weight OF one will
hold the other up. One evening last
week the cord attached to one of the
lamps caught fire and broke and both
lamps fell to the floor with a crash.
Fortunately the fall extinguished the
lights in both lamps and thereby saved
any excitement that might have fol-
lowed by fire.

Tramps Must Work.

When the season is far enough ad-
vanced so that work can be done on the
streets, Reynodsville will not be such a
resort for tramps as IL has been in the
past, for all such chaps who appear In
town and go from house to house beg
ging will be arrested as vagrants and
will be put to work on the streets until
the fine that will be imposed on them is
worked out II is high time lot OF
lazy, worthless, dirty tramps were COM
PEELED to earn the bread they eat. Oc-
casionally men who would work but can
find nothing to do ask for assistance,
and of course such men are deserving OF
a square meal. After few tramps are
compelled to work, II they don't die in
the act, they will manage to spread the
news and the town will not be continu-
ally overrun with such vagabonds.

All Talk Yet.

Several efforts have been made TO
have branch railroad built from the
A. V. R'y to Brookville, distance OF
one mile, but it has always ended in
talk. The project is being agitated
again and David McCargo, general
superintendent Of the A. V. R'y, came
to Brookville Saturday in his private
car to look over the proposed line and
hear the proposition the Brookville
people were willing to offer as an in
ducement for building and operating
the road. The railroad company will
give an answer inside Of ten days. Mr..
Rumsey, supt. Of the Low Grade Div,
on whose branch the new line would be
built, was interviewed by the editor OF
this paper as to the prospects OF the
branch being built, but he was reticent
on the subject and said he did not know.
Some OF the Brookville people have it
settled definitely and are already run
ming the passenger trains up TO the
town-in their minds. 1t would GER
tainly be good thing for Brookville to
have the road built and would be much
more covenient for the travelling public
II trains were run up to the town.
BrOokville has suffered long enough for
the mistake that was made by the
property owners when the A. v. R'y
was first built. We hope the railroad
company and Brookville people can
come to terms so that the branch will

society and when their names were call
ed they responded by walking 10 the
front, deposited dollar or two on the

earned the money. A few ladies were

money and experiences. Two OF these,
