Barn Struck by Lightning.

During the heavy storm last Thurs
day evening lightning struck the barn
Of Ed. ID. Seeley, which was located
near the reservoir, and in few minutes
the large barn was entirely enveloped
In flame and smoke. Although one
flash of lightning after another was
flashing athwart the heavens, the thun-
der rolling and the rain coming down
in torrents, yet the fire companies both
responded promptly to the alarm, but
the flames did their work so quickly
that the fire companies could not be Of
any service. Mr.. Seeley was in bed
when his barn was struck and, although
he dressed as quickly as possible, he just
got to the barn In time TO save his bug
gy, and risked his life for that Mr..
Seeley says II he had stopped to con-
slider the danger he would not have
rushed into the barn for the buggy.
He was almost overcome in the barn
and had the back Of his neck, ears and
hands badly burned. Il. G. Sencor, who
lives nearby, was the first one at the
barn and he did good work in saving
the horses, cows, harness, &C., from
the flames.
Mr.. Seeley's loss, not including the
barn, will amount to between three and
four hundred dollars. He had five hun
dred dollars insurance on the barn, pro-
duce and implements. Twenty ton of
hay, moving machine, hay rake and
other farm implements we're burned in
the barn. About two weeks before the
same barn was struck by lightning, but
the damage was slight that time. Mr..
Seeley is already making preparations
to build new barn.
A cat, one kitten, an old hen and a
brood of little chickens were cremated.
The old cat was good mouser and was
also fond Of young chickens. Mr..
Seeley did not want to kill the cat and
they were keeping her tied in the barn
until the chickens would get large
enough so the cat would let them alone.
One kitten escaped with its fur singed
and one paw badly burned.

inches shorter than the other one, and
Mr.. Shafrer will be a cripple all his life

Fire Saturday Evening.

There was quite an excitement in
town for a few minutes Saturday evening
when the fire alarm sounded and it was
discovered that the barn back Of Good
er's jewclry store was on fire. The
firemen soon got the better of the flames.
The fire had started in good place for
conllagratiOn, which certainly would
have been the result had it not been
for the excellent fire protection the
town now enjoys. The barn, where the
fire started, was pretty badly gutted
and two other barns were slightly dam
aged. Moore & Dickinson, grocerymen,
had about a half car load of feed in their
barn which was damaged by the water.
II is now claimed that the barn was
accidentally set on fire by some fellows
who were playing poker in the hay now
Mrs. Deible, from whose front porch
the barn could be seen plainly, says she
saw light In the barn ten or fifteen
minutes before the fire alarm was given
She has seen men crawling into the hay
NOW on board from the alley in the
day time and at night with lantern,
but thought it was used for an ice house.
1t is evident that this place was used as
u poker joint"
Fire had gotten into the sawdust in
the barn Saturday night and smoldered
until after seven o'clock Monday morn
ing when it began to get in shape for
another blaze and was put out by few
buckets of water

Rumor Not Correct.

1t is rumored that Editor Stephenson,
OF the Reynoldsville STAR, will soon
become connected with the Dubois Er-
press.-Clearfield Republican.
The rumor is not correct. A young
man from New York wanted to know il
the Dubois Express was for sale and
asked the editor of THE STAR to get
the desired information for him, which
we did do and, no doubt, that was the
foundation for the rumor. The Express,
as we understand is not for sale.

Ex-BuRoEss MOORE is THE MAN
The Circumstantiai Evidence is Strong
Against Him,


In its issue OF July 22nd the Dubois
Courier fumed about some statements
that appeared In THE STAR the day be-
fore. We said in that issue that a
prominent citizen Of Dubois was in
Reynoldsvile on the evening Of July
lst and invited Miss Leroy to Dubois
TO make contract for balloon ascen-
sion at that place on July 5th and 9Th.
AS bluff the Courier said there we're
fifty dollars ut Dubois for the editor OF
The STAR II they did not prove there
was no one authorized To come to Reyn-
oldsville to invite Miss Leroy to come
TO that town TO make contract. The
statement was made i'm THE STAR in
good faith and we don't believe we were
mistaken in what we said.
On the evening Of July lst Ex-Burgess
II. A. Moore, another gentleman and
two ladies drove to Reynoldsville in a
carriage. They stopped in front Of
Hotel Mcconnell, Mr.. Moore went into
hotel, asked Proprietor Black II he
could see the lady who was TO make the
balloon ascension. Mr.. Black called
the lady and her husband to the parlor
and introduced Mr.. Moore. After the
introduction Mr.. Moore said "Mr.
Black, please tell these people who I
am so they will know that / am re-
sponsible party" Mr.. Black told them
who Mr.. Moore was and said, "Any
contract he makes will be all right"
The ex-burgess remained alone with
these two people awhile and departed.
AS soon as he was gone they informed
Mr.. Black that Moore had invited them
TO go to Dubois for the purpose hereto
fore stated in THE STAR, and Dubois
was to pay expenses II there was no con-
tract made. Who would not make the
statement that appeared in. THE STAR
with the evidence above given?
II is useless for the Courier to try to
get away from the true object they had
In view in publishing the article that
appeared in that paper July 2nd, to
keep the people away from Reynolds
July 3rd. 1t may be possible that they
had contract with the Leroy sisters,
but with Ex-Burgess Moore's actions
and words to stand as evidence against
them, it looks as If on the evening OF
July lst the Arrow Cycle Club had no
one yet to depend upon to make the as
cension at that place July 9Th and 9Th.

Five Reasons for Stopping "courier."

A business man of Reynoldsville, who
has been subscriber to the Dubois

1st, Too unfair and unjust.
End, Am not a sporting man and
don't care for base ball scores.
3rd, Can read exactly the same tele-
graphic matter in the Pittsburg papers

4th, Think it is too bad to spoil good
white paper to print such ''poor, stale
and Improbable" stuff as the Courier
is addicted to.
9Th, The easiest way in the world to
make three $500 dollars year is not
TO take the Dubois Courier.

Double Attraction for Flying Kites.

The latest novelty in flying kites is a
parachute descent, which was witnessed
by a number of small boys and girls at
this place yesterday, the wind being
favorable for the sport. The parachute
is made of a handkerchief with twine
tied on to all four corners and a small
stone tied to the ends of the twine. The
kite is sent up with the small parachute
lightly attached so that when the boy
holding the kite string wants to see it
descend, he jerks the string and down
it comes. Some of the kites were sent
high up before the parachutes would
drop. Older people watched the sport
with considerable interest.
