An Electric Light Plant.

IL was mentioned in THE STAR last
week that the town council had grant
ed the right OF way to the Reynolds
vile Light, Heat and Power Co. to
establish an electric plant aud have use
of streets and alleys to erect poles.
The town council will have to pass m

making provisions FOR the rights asked by
the Electric Co., and the ordinance will
have 70 be published three times after
the first reading before IL becomes q
law. No work will be done until the
ordinance has passed second reading
and entered on the statute hooks OF tho
borough, which will require two months
time. After that 1t is the present in
tention to begin work on the electric
plant and get it in operation as soon as
possible. II was outside capital that at
first proposed to put in the plant--aud
may do IT yet-but there is talk now OF
Reynoldsville capital being invested in
the plant.

would be paying investment ia Reyn-

that outside capital should not be iu-
vested iu the plant Raise the money
at home and start the plant. II foreign

Narrow Escape.

falling out Of second story window
Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Alexander is
living in the Baptist parsonage until
his new residence on Grant street is
ready for occupancy, and the windows
In the second story Of the parsonage are
low enough for little "tot" like Ken
meth to get on the window stills. Sunday
afternoon he crawled on to second
story window sill, got his back up
against the window, put his little feet
on his papa's chair and stretched his
legs. Out went the light OF glass and
Kenneth was going over the window
sill backwards just as his father caught
him by the feet. The light Of glass,
which was large one, as there are
only two lights in window, struck on
one corner and stuck In the frozen
ground with a small piece broken off

Conscientious Fellow.

1t may be surprise to some people
to know that man can be found in
these days who is so conscientious that
he cannot sleep II he goes in debt, but
there are some such men, though they
are few compared to the vast number
that run in debt and never pay their
indebtedness. 1t so happens, at times,
that honest people get in debt who can
not liquidate the indebtedness when
they should, or would like to, but there
are others who never attempt to pay
their honest debts. They get trust
wherever they can, never expecting to
pay the amount at least their actions
would leave such an impression. We
received the following letter from one
of our subscribers several days ago:
81 enclose the amount due on my

Frank and Peter that the police were
on his tracks and that he had to skip

tanned $50, 900 and he asked Frank and
Peter to give him the italian money
they had, take the $50, 900 and have 1t
exchanged into italian money, then
take out the amount they had given
him and send the balance to Italy to an
address he gave them. Frank and
Peter stepped into the trap and had to
sail from New York for Italy without q

turned to the bank and opened the
