whichever may be best adapted and
NEST available fer the purpose, to
Matansas and Sagua." Beyond the
foregoing those who had participated in
the conference al the White House
would not discuss the subject, and 1t
was stated positively that the author
lied statement comprised everything
that would be given to any one. The
advices from Madrid, together with the
authoritative statement here. left no
room for doubt as to what had occur
red. The reques: for General Lees re-
call is understood TO have come within
the last few days. 1t came through
Minister woodford. a somewhat I'M
usual procedure.
Los; No Time In Replying.
The ether suggestion OF the Spanish
rovernmcrt-thatr relief supplies should
not be sent in war vessels-did not
come through Minister Woodford, as
the Madrid dispatches state. but was
presented by Senior du Bose to the state
department last Friday. The responses
in both cases went direct to Minister
Woodfcrd. There appears to lie no rea-
son why a change should be made in the
plan for sending these ships on the re-
lief mission. and without attaching
grave significance to the request of the
Spanish government the answer was
made that the plans for the trip were
completed and that the stay of the
ships would be brief and of the most
pacific character. In responding to the
request for General Lees recall. after
brief exchange between the White
House and the state department. the
negative answer was dispatched by the
president To Minister Woodford. Such
matters as these ere generally laid be-
fore the cabinet and freely discussed.
but in this case there was nothing OF
that kind. The whole matter was Eek
pedited."

Meredith Brick Works.

The new brick works OF w. Il. Mere
dith q Bro, located about three miles
west OF Reynoldsville on the line of the
A. V. Ry, which started up Monday. is
one OF the best equipped plants of its
kind in this section of the state, and
the clay surrounding the plant is OF an
excellent quality. The machinery has
a capacity Of from thirty to forty thous-
and brick per day, but the dryer and
burning kilns only have capacity OF
twenty thousand brick, but this
will be increased as soon as needed.
Meredith & Bro. had to buy and ship
brick from Kittanning to build the dry
er and burning kilns, and for that
reason the present kilns are not equal
In capacity to the machinery.
The clay will be hauled to the plant
on tram road. The clay first goes
through the crusher, then to screen,
from that to pug mill, where tempered,
then to brick machine, cutting table,
through the repress machine, then to
dry house and from that to burning
kiln.
This company will make fire. paving
and building brick. They will make
red, buff, cream and gray brick. The
brick will be burned with coal. Mere
dith & Bro. have opened four foot
vein Of coal near the brick works and
will supply themselves with the nee.
essary fuel for the plant. The plant
will employ twenty men. There are
orders in now for 100000 paving and
building brick.
w. r. Meredith resides at Punxsu.
tawney and l. G. Meredith is a resident
Cool Spring, but he expects to move to
Reynoldsville in the near future.
Some seven or eight years ago w
II. Meredith & Bro. started saw mill
at Meredith and two years ago, having
sawed all their lumber, shut down the
mill, but during their stay there they
discovered what excellent brick .iay, il
large quantities, was in that locality
and the result is a large brick plant now
stands where saw mill was buzzing 9
few years ago.

Charles Feicht, the pharmacist who
fills prescriptions at Stokes pharmacy,
was over in Potter county last week
trout fishing and on Monday we heard
him tell the following snake story:
Another member of the party and |
were going down log-slide when we
saw large black snake, at least seven
feet long, just ahead of us with a
grounding in its mouth. We stopped
to see what the snake would do with it
and we were not kept in suspense long,
for the snake soon swallowed the
groundhog., Then his snakeship stood
up, pulled porcupine quill out of his
body, began picking his teeth and
walked leisurely down to stream near
by and got drink of water"

HEAVY ELECTRICAL STORM.
Two Houses Struck by Lightning-O
Considerably Damaged.


During the heavy electrical and rain
storm Sunday afternoon the dwelling
houses Of Matthew Mohney, on jackson
street. and George Sprague, on Main
street, were struck by lightning. The
damage to Mr.. Sprsgue's house was
small and none OF the family were ef-
fected. Lightning struck the top Of
the cupola OF the house and came out
above one Of the windows Of the cupola.
Lightning struck the chimney of Mr..
Mohney's house. A portion of the
electrical bolt ran down the chimney
and another portion ran down the sheet
iron in the valley OF the roof. 1t is a
miracle that Mr.. Mohney's family es-
capped with their lives. Mr.. Mohney
had gone up stairs for his glasses and
was standing near the chimney when
the house was struck. He was stunned
for few seconds. Seloe was in the
dining room sitting near where the
lightning bolt ran around the wall and
he was knocked unconscious for few
seconds. Other members OF the family
were on the back porch, near where the
lightning ran down the side of the
house, and they escaped without injury
Two bed rooms and hall up stairs and
the dining room and parlor down stairs
will have to be replastered. The paper
on the walls, where the lightning ran,
was scorehed but the house did not
catch fire M. Mohney estimates the
damage at $4,000.

FIRE FROM GLASS LAMP.
Mrs. rseman and Son Jumped Out Of
Second Story Window.

oeSoHo otofy WinuoWs
A little after two o'clock Friday
morning the fire bell startled the citi-
zens from their peaceful slYmbers and
soon there was hurrying OF feet tow
ards the place where the fire fiend was
attempting TO destroy the dwelling
house occupied by Henry Iseman at the
corner Of Hill and Fourth streets. BY
the quick response and active work Of
the fire company the house was saved
from destruction, not, however, until 1t
was pretty well burned on the interior
and most all the household goods on the
second floor we're destroyed. The house
is owned by the Reynoldsvillc Building
and Loan Association and was insured.
but Mr.. Iseman had no insurance on
his household goods.
Mr.. Iseman is night watcbman at
Hopkins mill and Mrs. Iseman and her
15-year-old son, Frank. were alone and
had to jump out of the second story
window to save their lives. Mrs. Iseman
She had two or three skirts over her
shoulder and carried glass lamp in
her hand and when she reached the top
OF the stairs she set the lamp down on
stand and turned around and accident
ally knocked the lamp off the stand
with the skirts as she turned. The
lamp, which was full of oil, struck near
the top step and rolled down stairs,
scattering fire as it rolled. Mrs. Ise-
man took in the situation in second
and awakened Frank and gave the
alarm. Frank. who is very excitable
about fires, put on shirt and jumped
out Of the window, as there was no
other way of escape. Mrs. Iseman
gathered up what clothing she could
before driven out by the heat and smoke
and then she had to crawl out of second
story window and drop TO terra firma.
She sprained her left wrist in getting
out.
