Even Coming from N. Y.

Through the columns of THE STAR
the news has reached New York that
there is to be u grand celebration In
Reynoldsville ON the Glorious Fourth
and people of that city have already
arranged for their summer vacations so
that they can spend the Fourth in this
place. New York may have few
more people on Broadway every day
than we have in Reynoldsville on Satur-
day nights, but it can not hold all its
citizens there when Reynoldsville de-
cides to have big time, at least we
were so informed while in New York
last week. Reynoldsville will lead the
van on this occasion. 1t will hardly be
worth while for any of the towns within
twenty-five miles of this place to try to
get attractions to draw the people.
Have all your friends far and near post
ed on this being the place for them to
come on Independence Day.

HWorked" Alb for a ".

sour Country Cousin" was billed to
appear at the Reynolds opera house last
Thursday evening, but the company
failed to materialize, much to the
disappointment OF the manager of the
opera house and those holding compli-
mentary tickets. The whyfore of the
non-appearance of the company was
that the exchequer OF the concern had
become depleted and the public patron
age was not sufficient to replenish it.
The advance agent borrowed five dollars
from Mr.. Reynolds and gave him an
order on the proprietor OF the show for
the amount. Alb. had dealings with
the proprietor before and thought he
would get the ''fver" again until he re-
ceived word Tuesday night that the
company had become financially en-
barrassed. 1t is very likely the advance
agent knew when he was here that the
company would soon run ashore and for
that reason he worked" Alb for the
five dollars.

Unexpected Rain Caught Them.

Sunday morning six bicyclists Of
Reynoldsville rode to Brookville expect
ing to return home In the evening, but
they did not get home until Monday
morning. The rain at noon made the

that reason the boys were compelled to
stay at the county seat all night. A
number Of sports came down from Du-
Bois on their wheels Sunday morning
and after dinner they hired teams to
haul them home on account Of the
muddy condition OF the roads.

An Advance in Leather.

Leather has advanced in price and
the natural consequences are that foot

they were compelled to raise the price
on all shoes fifteen cents pair.

THE OHIO SITUATION.
Brice Men Talking Of Dark Horse
Free Coinage the Main Issue.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 13.-Democfatic
leaders throughout the Miami valley have
started movement TO nominate John A.
Mcmahon, of Dayton, as the Democratic
state convention in Springfield next week.
Since the county convention OF yesterday
il is claimed that Senator Brice's friends
will control the convention, and probably
20 no further than to reaffirm the plat
form of 1892.
Senator Brice, as temporary chairman,
will sound the key note, and his friends
are more interested in the platform than
in candidates. There has been some feel
ing engendered in the silver fight. Nc
Mahon has kept out of the fight and is re-
garded as acceptable to both factions.
Ex-Gov. Campbell has declined to allow
his name to be used and Congressman
Sorg and Tom johnson refuse to be
drafted.
In the event that the free silver men
should control the convention, the nomi-
NEE for governor will be 5ohu =. Thomas,
Of Springfield, or James Kilbourne, Of
Columbus. The senatorship supersedes
the contests for places this year. Nc
Mahon was candidate for senator
against Brice six years ago. If he should
run it would be with view to becoming
senator and assisting Brice as presiden-
tial aspirant.

Lost Art Recovered.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 13.-Geo. Cromley,
Cornelius shay and John Ryan, iron and
steel workers, have discovered the lost
art of welding copper or iron to steel,
They show several samples of the ma
terials perfectly welded. The last record
history gives of these materials having
been welded was in 500 B. G. The value
in the discovery comes In the fact that
copper offers greater resistance to the
action of salt water than any other metal.
The Carnegie company has offered the
men a fixed price for the secret. shop
has been fitted up for the men at the
Homestead plant, where tomorrow the
men propose to weld plate Of copper to
an ingot of nickel steel armor plate. The
Carnegie company hopes to be able to
cover all armor plates for the big battle
ships.

men have been invited from all parts of

important features of the conference in

to adopt resolutions in favor of the free
and unrestricted coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to l, and to appoint commit
tees to advance in every legitimate way
the interests of silver.
Representative Cox, of Tennessee, is
the only delegate who has arrived: "The
object of the conference" he said, "is to
perfect an organization inside the Demo-
cratic party. We have no sympathy with
movements" looking to independent ac-
tion. At the hotel it is estimated that
the attendance will not exceed 100.
