Presco Change.

]. A. Welsh, who has been in the
grocery business in Reynoldsville for
five years, has sold his store to w. r..
Martin, who took charge of the store
last Friday morning. Mr.. Martin, who
has been coal miner for thirty-two
years, had considerable experience in
the store business early in life, and he
thinks the experience of those days
will serve him well in the business he
has now embarked in. Mr.. Welsh,
whom we have always found to he a
pleasant and honest man to do business
with, has not decided what he will do
in the future, but for the present he ex-
poets to devote his time in trying to
collect money from people whom he
placed sufficient confidence in while in
business to trust them to goods, which
they have failed to pay for.

Paid for His Fun,

Last Sunday evening two Italians
named respectively, Louis Grgis aud
John Franco, who live at London mine,
INDUCED in fracas and Franco be-
labored Grgis on the head with maca-
roni roller. Thursday Grgis appeared
before Esq. John M. Hays and made in
formation against Franco for the at
tempt to make macaroni out of his pate.
A warrant was issued and served on the
offending Ike and he was locked in the
Reynoldsville "cooler" so that it would
be convenient for him to appear before
Hays tribunal for hearing on Friday.
Early Friday morning there was hus-
tling around among some Of the Italian
friends OF the manipulation of the maca-
roni roller and the matter was finally
settled by Franco paying $500 and all
costs.

The Last Spree.

Patrick Fennell, who has been in the
employe of Degnan & Mcdonald,
lumbermen of this place, of and on for
almost twenty years, was found dead in
their camp near Reynoldsville last
Monday evening. Fennell was noted
for getting on protracted sprees, and
all last week he spent in this place
indulging freely in the cup that intoxi-
Gates. He walked to the camp Sunday
evening and after the weeks drunk was
not able to go to work Monday morn
ing. He lounged around the boarding
house all day, sticking close TO his bunk
most of the time, and little attention
was paid to him because he was getting
over his spree. When the men came
in from work in the evening they found
the man in his bunk stiff and cold in
deaths embrace. Heart failure, super
induced by the weeks spree was ascribed
the cause of his sudden death. He was
about fifty years old and unmarried.
His remains were brought to John M.
Hays undertaking rooms in this place,
where they will remain until his friends
arrive from Messengerville, n. Y, to
attend the funeral. This is another
warning of what liquor will do when it
gets the opportunity.

A Fence Rail Did II.

During the past week M. w. Melon
aid, the insurance agent, has been
sporting black eye and a skinned
face, in fact has looked very much
like chap who had been in a pugilistic
encounter and got badly used up, but as
he is gentlemanly fellow and is not
noted for participating in ''scraps," the
natural inference Of his friends was that
he had run up against a mishap. Mr..
Mcdonald was out for sleigh ride
Wednesday night-whether alone or
driving with one hand. THE STAR say

snow drift he was upset into fence
corner. 1t is likely that he was SO
tightly wrapped In lap robes and leap

himself from the attack OF the fence

sized snow drift, upset the ladies into
the snow and let the horse run off. The
sleigh and the horse called it quits at
the corner of Brown and Pike streets in
West Reynoldsville and the horse ran
to Hotel Belnap where it was caught.

and were pelted with water-soaked
snow balls both going into and coming
out of that town. One little girl was
hit in the mouth with snow ball and
her lip was badly cut NJ. J. Farrell,
who chaperoned the girls, ran after the
snow-ballers and secured the names of
two OF them, Roy Orner and Chas.
Yeager. Mr. Farrell called at the
newspaper offices of Dubois and gave
the names of the two boys who were in
the gang that did the snow balling.
The EGpress made mention of the
affair and gave the names of the two
boys, but the Courier ignored the whole
business. If Dubois people come to
Reynoldsville and are snow balled and
can find out who did the contemplate
work, we will be obliged to them il
