Member Co. A.

Esq. w. w. Crissman and wife, of
Clayville, came to Reynoldsville last
week to attend the reunion and visit
friends few days. Squire Crissman
was membero Co. A, 105th Regiment,
and was wounded in the second days
fight in the Wilderness by ball going
through both of his thighs. Squire
called at THE STAR office, had his name
added to our subscription list and in
formed us that he will be candidate
for nomination for county treasurer
next year. Squire was a candidate two
years ago and withdrew, but he says he
is going in this time to stay until the
primaries decides who the Republican
candidate shall be,

Convalescing,

Rev. ]. c. McEntire, who early in
September was very near the Pearly
Gates that swing into the Celestial City,
has convalesced sufficiently to be able
to get on the streets again. Rev. Nc
Entire is good christian man and his
daily life does not discord with the pro-
fession he makes. Had the Messenger
Death called for the old gentleman he
would have gladly responded and gone
to the Better Land leaving good
testimony with his friends on earth
that it was "Well with his soul.'

Didn't Know il was Loaded.

Morton Gray, Albert Sutter and Bert
Pierce concluded to go pheasant hunt
ing Saturday, and armed with twenty
two caliber revolver the lads hied away
TO a patch of woods hardly Gray's
home. Gray was stationed near the
top of the hillside they had selected as
hunting ground and Sutter and Pierce
were to chase the pheasants up to Gray
and he was to shoot them. After this
was kept up awhile the two boys
came up to see how many pheas-
ants had been killed and found not
pheasant. Gray thought he had shot
all the loads out of the revolver and he
stretched his right arm out full length
with the revolver pointed at his head
and said: 'Watch me shoot myself"
and at the same time pulled the trigger.
There was just one ball in the weapon
that Gray did not know was there but
the doctors located the ball afterwards
in the boys right cheek, near the ear
drum. The ball has not been removed
yet. Fortunately the ball. struck the
check bone and glanced towards the ear.
Had 1t gone up little higher it Is
probable there would have been q

Some Pumpkins.

W. 7. Cox had three or four
pumpkins on exhibition at his store
last week that are not to be classed
with the common yellow pumpkin,
either in size or color. The largest one
of these pumpkins weighed seventy-five
pounds and was raised in DR.. S. Reyn-
olds' garden. The seed was not planted
until early in June and was pulled be-
fore it was done growing. 1t was
claimed for the seed that 1t would pro-
duce pumpkin that would weigh one
hundred and fifty pounds.

Capt. Lahey has the Cow.

Capt. Lahey, proprietor of Hotel
Evergreen at Falls Creek, has the FIVE
legged COW in his possession that 'Okla-
homa Jim" had on exhibition in this
place last week. A constable from
Washington county, Pa, found "Okla-
homa Jim" at Falls Creek Thursday
day and was so persistent in having
James accompany him back to Wash
ington county, that "Oklahoma" finally
consented to go and left the fve-legged
COW in Capt. Lahey's care until he re-
turns. "Oklahoma Jim, OF Brookville,
whose proper name is Jas. G. Moore
went into the show business with a citi-
zen Of Washington county about one
year ago and the partner failed TO get
anything for his share of the business
and that is why Jim was escorted to the
county aforesaid.

Town is Growing.

A number OF soldiers who attended
the reunion last week, who have not
been in Reynoldsville since the war
closed, were heard to remark about the
wonderful growth of Reynoldsville
since that time. If these gentlemen
visit the place every two or three
years they can notice big improvements.
Notwithstanding the dull times of the
past two years the town is growing.
The new buildings going up settles that
matter beyond dispute.

Exaggerated Reports.

The daily papers are frequently i'm

publication. Some one sent Il ten-line
account of the reunion ut this place
Thursday to the Pittsburg Dispatch and
added that fight occurred during the
parade in which 'several men were
seriously injured and Herman Dayton
may die. Four arrests have been made"
The fight did not occur until two hours
after the parade, and only one man was
injured and he was able to walk to

made, although there should have been
one arrest made. When fellow knocks

During the time that it took for the
massing of the children between the tri-
Dunes on Hill street the band that was
stationed beside the Queen played spirited
music; finally it stopped. Professor Gates
bad placed himself beside Professor
Search. and at given signal every hand,
little and big, was raised in respectful
salute to the flag of our nation. The
Queen and her court standing, joined in
the demonstration with the most royalty
gracious and cordial good will. The band
then struck up the opening notes of
America. Every head on the tribunes,
and off, whose hat was not securely fasten-
ed on with pins and wells. was barred and
all the voices, male and female. in the
vast assemblage of children were united
in one great and sweet volume of sound
with the words My Country, Otis of
! Thee. Three verses they sang, and then,
with heads still barred. at another signal.
from Professor Gates u rafting three
cheers and tiger were given TO the flag
bearer, Professor Preston W. Search.
Every flag of every size and denomination
was waved frantically the whole street
was waving billow of the red. white
and blue; the red yellow and green; and
the noise and the joyful bowls from large
and small threats, from black and white
threats, was enough to stir the blood Of
an automaton-and yet there was one, IA
man and memb Der of the Grand Army of
the Republic who stood unmoved and
unresponsive through all the infectious
and apparently irresistible tumult. That
man was the honorable John j. Gosper.
On the left of the Queens throne he
stood with the badge of the "little red
school house" securely fastened in plain
sight upon his dauntless front, and upon
his noble brow, pulled down over his eyes,
was his SLOUGH hat, which was never
lifted, never touched.
With the three cheers and tiger for Mr..
Search, the formal. ceremonies came 20
a close, the companies of school cadets
were marched out of the tribunes one by
one all giving the royal party a farewell
salute. and the children S parade was a
thing of the past.
Almost before the children were safely
out of the Way the mob outside surged
in. Professor Search and Professor Gates
were presented informally to her royal
lighness by Mr. Koepfi, president of the
Merchants association executive com
Inittee, and then the carriages for convey
ing the royal party appeared, the Queen
and her attendants entered and were
driven off amid the enthusiastic and joy
ons cheers and applause of the crowd.

Two companies from Ann street; one
from New Macy street; one from Sand
street: three from Amelia street; one and
half from Hewitt street. three from
Ninth street; one from Macy street; one
from Cornell street, and two from the
Breed street school brought the last
division to a close.
AS the last companies in the fourth
division reached the royal tribune they
were brought to halt, and after few
evolutions were all placed facing west
on the further side of Hill street. Pro-

planted his colors midway up the steps

same manner, and on all were bows or

of little girls, had pinned to the front of
each cap above the visor butterfly bow
of yellow crepe paper that made very
effective toucn of color.

The lowering, overcast sky yesterday
morning deferred very few people from
going forth to view the children's parade,
although few eastern people took the
precaution to arm themselves with UNI
brellas in case the clouds should prove to
be those of rain.
At an early hour the streets were
swarming with men. women and children,
for of course every small person who was
not goin to turn out in line was led by
the hand that he, she or they might en-
Joy the sights.
The tribunes were filled as usual with
the holders of season tickets, and the
Catalina band was stationed to the right
OF the Queen throne and played at short
intervals until the procession arrived.
Punctualy at 10 o'clock the royal
cortege drew up at the entrance o the
throne and La Reina. with her faithful at
tendanN, Mesdames Raider ana Ross and
the members of the court, descended and
took their accustomed places.
Her royal highness was attired in
most fetching gown of poppy yellow bro
cade and a dainty little flower bonnet
crowned her dark hair.
Mrs. RAIDER wore a dark limne-colored
silk gown and hat, and Mrs. Ross was be-
comingly CARRIED in a most charming
mauve satin, with hat to match. The court
wore the same dainty white gowns that
they wore tor the coronation ceI emonies
and as they all took their places the
audience welcomed them with cordial
and prolonged applause. Her majesty

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The northeast
corner OF West Broadway and Third
street was the scene Of fatal building
collapse yesterday, but the extent OF the
disaster cAnnot be positively determined
until the ruins have been completely over
hauled and the loss Of life learned.
II was the middle section OF an eight
stOry unfinished structure that collapsed,
and down with the falling floors and roof
were carried number OF workmen, some
OF whom were crushed to death.
John Burke, one of the buried work
men, was carried out dead Close beside
him was found Charles Smith, an cleo
trician. He died In an ambulance on the
way to the hospital.
Policemen and flremen were summoned
to dig out the imprisoned workmen. They
took out seven men from the ruins. These
men were all badly hurt, but they are ex-
pected to recover.
Eleven workmen who were employed In
the building are missing. If these men
were killed in the ruins the total number
of dead will be l3. Peterson is known to
have met his death i'm the ruins although
his body could not be seen.
There are different theories regarding
the cause Of the disaster One Is that the
floors were ovorweighted with material.
Another is that an upright girder in tho
center Of the structure was defective.
