Furious Blizzard.

The present winter is making re-
cord that will not be soon forgotten. The
blizzard of last Friday was severe one.
The wind howled in mad fury all day
and towards evening was almost hur-
ricane. The few inches OF snow that
had fallen the day previous was scooped
up by the gale and piled up in heaps on
the pavements in town as high us three
feet deep in some places. The force of
the wind was so great that the snow
packed solid enough for people to walk
on top OF the drifts. The fine snow
found its way into every crack and Gre
vice OF buildings, even entering through
the key hole OF doors. The streets
were almost deserted Friday, and busi-
ness was also very quiet on Saturday.
| The railroads OF this section were
blockaded on account Of snow drifts
The A. v. R'y did not escape the effects
of the awful blizzard, although the road
did not suffer from the storm as much
as some other roads. The early train
from Driftwood, which arrives here at
7.40 A. NJ, was the only train from that
end Of the road all day Friday. From
Dubois to Red Bank the road was not
effected much by the storm, and the
usual trains were run between the two
places, although they run late. The
B., r. & p, r. & c., G. & NJ, p. & E.,
r. & F. G. R'y, were strictly in it with
the storm.
The mercury did not register much
above zero any time during all Of last
week, but it did drop away below zero a
number OF times.

DON'T LET IT PASS BY !
NEW YORK SYNDICATE LOOKING
FOR A SITE FOR IRON WORKS.
viii Locate IN Reynoldsvile II the Citi-
zens Hustle.


zens Hustle.
At the present time there IL consider
ablo stir among the live business men of
Punxsutawney and Dubois to induce a
New York syndicate TO erect large pig
iron furnaces in their respective towns.
Tho papers Of the two places are claim
ing their towns are the best suited for
such an enterprise, and then talk about
the empty cars that return from Buffa-
10 that could be used to haul the ore to
their towns. While this hustle is being
made about securing the large industry,
Reynoldsvile business men are trying
to win the prize. The president Of the
Board OF Trade has been communicate
ing with Mr. Parrott, who will come TO
Reynoldsville in the very near future TO
look at the site at this place and hear
the Inducements offered. We have the
coal, coke, site, got cars enough from
Buffalo TO haul more ore than the plant
can use, have better railroad facilities
than any other town can offer that IL af-
ter the furnace, and the only thing that
remains for Roynoldsville to get the
furnaces is for the citizens to do their
duty by unloosing the strings on their
purses. The syndicate will erect plant
that will employ 200 men at the start,
and the output of the furnace would be
200 tons Of pig iron per day.
In the language Of the Punxsutawney
Spirit we say that Reynoldsvllle Is, of
all places, perhaps in the State, the best
favored by nature for such an enter
when every mushroom town with an
evancscent and fugacious, but inordin-
ately windy population, imagines itself
a city, and is willing TO give itself away,
body and breeches, in order TO secure
something tangible upon which TO base
its boasts, such enterprises are not often
secured without inducements other
than those offered by nature. II Is
therefore incumbent upon every public
spirited citizen of this town to encour-
age by liberal subscriptions, and in
every way possible, the gentlemen who
are now considering Reynoldsville as n
site for iron works. Such an enterprise
would materially enchance the value Of
every mans property. 1t would give us
Il substantial basis for prosperity, and
and serve as a nucleus around which
other manufactures would naturely
gather.

An Active Woman in Church and Lodge
Gone Over.
Mrs. Ella Dunsmore, of West Reyn-
oldsville, wife Of ID. NJ. Dunsmore. train
master on tho Low Grade Div. Of the
A. V. Ry, died In a Pullman car on the
Pennsylvania railrOad one mile west of
Lancaster, Pa, at 800 A. NJ, on Friday,
Feb. Sth, on her way home from Phil
adelphia hospital where she was taken
four weeks ago Monday night for treat
ment. The doctors performed n pre-
paratory operation and discovered that
the disease. cancer Of the rectum and
bowels, was too far advanced 10 do any
thing for and Mr.. Dunsmorc was tele-
graphed for to bring her home to die.
They left Philadelphia at midnight
Thursday and could not make time on
account Of the snow. The train was
snow bound over six hours at the water
plug where Mrs. Dunsmore died. Mr.
Dunsmore was on the road with the
remains Of his dead wife from 800 A. NJ.
Friday until 2.30 p. M. Saturday. Mrs
Dunsmore was very anxious TO get
home TO die, but the silken thread was
snapped asunder while she was about
300 miles away from home. The de-
ceased had been In poor health for
about five years. She was under DR..
Wallace's care, of East Brady, for over
two years. She suffered intensely for
sometime before she died, to which her
emaciated remains gave evidence.
On the 18th Of March, 1872, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dunsmore were married. Her
maiden name was Ella Stalcy, and her
home was at New London, Ohio. In
1878 she united with the M. T.. church
at East Brady and has since been con-
sistent member. She was active in
doing good. At the time of her death
she was in good standing in four socie-
ties, Woman's Relief Corps Guiding
Star, Daughters of Liberty, and w. G..
r. U. She had charge of the railroad
work of the w. G. r. U.
Mr.. Dunsmore met his wife for the
first time on railroad train on very
stormy day. He bid her the last fare
well on railroad train on an exceed
ingly stormy day.
Funeral services were held at the
residence Of Mr.. Dunsmoro Sunday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. +. J. Slat-
terry. The large house was too small
TO accommodate the host of friends who
gathered to pay their last tribute of re-
spect to the departed. The floral offer
ings, pillow from the Guiding Star
and maltese cross from the Woman's
Relief Corps, were beautiful. The NOR
tai remains of Mrs Dunsmore were taxi
en- to Kittanning on the 7.I0 A. NJ. train
Monday for burial. At the close of the
Sunday afternoon services the NJ. r..
choir sang two hymns that Mrs. Duns-
more asked to have sung at her funeral,

Ages"

Alive Again.

The Board OF Trade met in the Ma
sonic hall Monday evening and was
largely attended. There was more en-
terprising enthusiasm manifested than
ever before shown by the Board. 1t
was evident that the board is alive and
proposes to make an effort to induce the
New York syndicate to locate at Reyn-
oldsville. A committee was appointed
to see Mr.. Parrot and also committee
to look at three or four good sites Reyn-
oldsville has to offer and see what the
land can be purchased for. With all the
advantages Reynoldsville has for indus
tries there is no reason why we should
not become manufacturing town, a
hive of industries. The Board Of Trade
will meet in short time again.

afraid he could not stand the operation.
