Tree Fell on Him.

John Helsel, an unmarried young
man % years old, met sad death in
Paradise Settlement Tuesday afternoon
Of last week. Mrs. Jos. Syphrit and
daughter were away from home, and
after dinner Helsel went out to plow
and about five o'clock his dead body
was found In the field by Guy Cornmess-
er, lad from an adjoining farm. Hell
sci had not done any work after dinner,
therefore, 1t is supposed the accident,
which resulted In his death, happened
soon after he went to the field, but II Is
not known how long he suffered before
he died. His death was caused by q
tree falling on him. The supposition is
that the tree fell so easily that he did
not know 1t was coming until II was on
him. His right leg was broken in three
places and the back OF his head fractur-
ed. He crawled about six feet away
from the tree and died with his face to-
wards the ground and his head resting
on his right arm. John Helsel was q
motherless boy who came from Johns
town three years ago to make his home
with Joseph Syphrit, whose second wife
Is the young mans aunt.
The remains Of the young man were
buried in the Syphrit cemetery Wednes-
day afternoon. Rev. Gearheart conduct
cd the funeral services.

Fifteen Dollars for q Ride.

One night last week A. L. Peters, Of
Hopkins, drove his horse and buggy
to West Reynoldsville and tied the
horse near the Ross House. When
ready to go home Mr.. Peters could not
find his horse and buggy. He had
about given up the hunt at eleven
o'clock when he caught an intoxicated
Pollander driving down Main street
with his rig. The Pollander was ar
rested and put in the lookup to sober
up and TO give an account Of how he
got possession Of the rig. The horse
had been driven hard, q whalebone whip
broken to pieces on the animal and q
robe lost. The following day the Pol
lander could not tell when, whore or
how he got the horse and buggy. He
paid five dollars cost and ten dollars to
Mr.. Peters for the robe, whip and abus-
ing the horse. The supposition is that
some one else used the horse and buggy
and then gave 1t to the Pollander.

Enters the Fourth Year.

For three years The STAR has been
enabled to surmount the difficulties,
trials and tribulations that are here
and there prominent In the pathway Of
country journalism, and II enters the
fourth year with good hopes for the fu-
ture. During the three years the pa
per has aimed to give It's readers all the
news, especially local news. How far
the paper has succeeded the readers can
have the privilege Of answering for
themselves. II Is very probable that
THE STAR has not at all times, during
the twelvemonths, pleased oil the sub
scribers, or those who borrow the pa
per to read 1t, but the editor did his
best. An extra effort will be made In
the coming year to make the paper bet
ter than 1t has been in the three years
that have been checked off by old Faith
er Time. There are number Of peO-
pie In Reynoldsville and vicinity who
read The STAR but are not subscribers,
and we hope they will drop into this
office and get their names on the sub
scription list and help support the pa
per. At the very best there is not
much money In running a country
newspaper and the editor needs all the
assistance possible, and every paid up
subscription helps to defray the expense
Of the office. Then don't borrow but
subscribe. We have no promises TO
make for the future.

CLAIMS $40, 900 Damage.

About one year ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob McCauley, of Brockwayville,
were on their way to church one Sun
day morning and loose plank In the
sidewalk, on Main street Of that borough,
tripped Mrs. McCauley and threw her
to the ground infiicting injuries from
which she died week later. Last
week Sheriff Gourley served summons
on each individual councilman OF Brock
wayville to appear at the May term Of
court to answer to the charge preferred
by Jacob McCauley for $4,000 damages
for the death OF his wife.
It is not necessary for the citizens OF
Reynoldsville to go to Brockwayville
or any other town to find loose planks
in sidewalks. Here and there they can
be found in Reynoldsville. Property
owners should see to 1t that all the
planks in their sidewalks are nailed
down.

Killed in a Mine.

Last Thursday Harry Hawk, aged 20
years, was killed in the Keystone coal
mine, one mile east Of Lawsonham, on
the Sligo Branch R'y, and his brother,
Ellis, aged 16 years, had his right leg
crushed by the roof falling in on them.
The mine was idle that day and the
young men went in to "stock up" The
accident happened soon after dinner
Thursday and no one outside knew any
thing about it until the men were
going to work Friday and they heard
the young man calling for help. Ellis
could not extricate himself from the
pile of coal but had to remain there
beside the body of his dead brother six
teen or seventeen hours. His suffering
was terrible. The young men were
sons of farmer who lived several miles
away from the mine, but they
"batched"in In shanty near the mine and
that is the reason they were not

In a Heap.

Last Thursday evening John Welhan,
representing Weaver Bros, confection-
ers Of Bradford, and l.. II. Wagner,
representing the Cary Safe Co. OF Buff
falo, were driving into Reynoldsville In
Weaver Bros confectionery wagon.
The horse was trotting along at a rea-
sonablc speed when the kingbolt of the
wagon broke and the two occupants
were thrown TO the ground violently
while the horse trotted on with the
front wheels OF the wagon. Welhan
was badly cut about the face. While
meditating upon the catastrophe that
had befallen them they saw three bug
gies coming In that direction as fast as
the horses could run with two men In
eachIbuggy. The men were so deeply
Interested In the race that they did not
see the wrecked wagon In the middle OF
the road until 10 was too late to stop
and three horses, three buggies and six
men were scattered over the ground
promiscuously. No one was seriously
Injured but they we're all bruised some.
One buggy was badly wrecked. Two
OF the buggies were In condition to
continue the journey TO Eleanora. A
short distance from where this accident
happened one Of the horses got fright
ened, Runaway, threw the two men out,
broke the buggy and the horse took TO
the woods where IL was found about one
o'clock Friday morning.
The six men were from Eleanora and
had imbibed freely Of Reynoldsville
"tangle foot" and that is why they
were driving so recklessly when the col
lision occurred. They certainly had
"a time" on this occasion.

Dogs Had q Jubilee.

ReynOldsville has too many dogs.
Not valuable ones, but too many of low
ancestry, bad breeding and worthless,
vicious habits, at least Frank j. Black,
proprietor Of Hotel Mcconnell, and his
guests, and number OF other people In
that neighbOrhOOd thought 80 last Sum
day night. One or two dogs began
barking and every street and alley pro-
duced quota Of whining, bowling,
swapping ours until, according to Blacks
statement, their number actually be-
came like the sands on the seashore.
The mob kept up the confusion until
the proprietor could not stand the
racket any longer and he got out OF bed,
dressed himself and with "blOod In his
eye" and revolver in his hand, he sal.
lied forth to murder a number OF the
CANNES, but when the gentle breeze
came in contact with his heated brow
he decided not to shoot. Mr.. Black,
however, was surprised when he
discovered that the dogs were amusing
themselves by chasing one of his valuable
COWS up and down the streets and alleys.
II the number OF dogs in this town
could be divided by two, and one-half
be killed and three-fourths OF the re-
mainder could be induced to go to sleep
with their necks across the rail OF the r.
& F. G. R'y and remain in that position
until an engine and train OF coal cars pass
ed by, 1t would be decided advantage
in the way OF quietness at night.

PROSPEROUS TIMES.

All over the Union, from hill
and dale, yelling up from the
plentiful hayests of grain in the
West and the whitening fields OF
cotton in the South, springing from
the factories and sounding on our
seas and rivers, come the sweet,
joyful cadences Of returning pros
perity. Surely no other sound
was ever so welcome; surely the
night of our adversely is past.
What matters it if our cotton
crop is short? The advance Of
seventv-five per cent in price
makes the heart of every farmer
glad. Seven million bales at sew
en- and half cents means more
money than ten million bales at
four and a halt cents.
| In the West and South there is the
most abundant harvest of corn that
ever blessed the tillers of the soil.
True, corn is cheap; but hogs hold
their own, and more grain is being
turned into hog meat than is sold
by the bushel.
The wages of factory hands is
being increased and they work on
fuller time. They, too, have join
ed the agriculturalistS in the
"grand, sweet song that will
make the year 1895 memorable in
the commercial annals of the land.
In kosciusko the signs point tC
a good fall trade. Cotton is high
and store accounts are small
There will undoubtedly be more
free money in our territory thai
there has been in ten years. Gu
, merchants will have a chance t.
recuperate all their losses of re
5 cent years. Many farmers nov
pressed with debt will join the in
creasing throng Of those who ar
! free from its shackles. The taste
: farmers get money ahead, tn
t sooner will the credit system, wit
: all its attendant evils, disappear.
G We are glad that We are llvln
h in this good year of 1895.
