Masonic Banquet.

The Masonic banquet at Hotel I'm
perial last Wednesday evening was the
greatest social event of the season. One
hundred and seven persons were pres
ent. The menu consisted OF the best
the market afforded and everything was
prepared In style to please the most
fastidious epicurean, showing that
Messrs. Wiley & Sweitzer know how to
prepare banquet. After the last
course had been disposed of some time
was spent in speech making and toasts.
Worshipful Master John II. Bell was
toastmaster. The speakers were as
follows: w. S. Stone. DIR. c. G. Rum
berger, NJ. NJ. Davis, Esq, C. Mitchell,
Esq, Capt. 7. G. Reynolds, DR.. B. f..
Hoover, G. II. Hall, Robert Turner and
l.. G. Idle. David Reynolds and Mayor
Fl. Alex. Stoke were called on for toasts,
but they with one accord began TO make
excuses. Mr.. Reynolds said that he
had been previously warned by some Of
the Masonic brethren that IL he at
tempted to make a speech they would
jump through the windows and he,
David. was afraid that some one would
get injured in the panic to get out OF
the dining room, and, therefore, re-
fused to reply to the call for toast.
He could make good speech II he was
so inclined. Mayor Stoke had promised
his better-half that he would not make
a speech, and Alex. has been married
long enough to know what II means to
ignore such promise.
After the program at Hotel Imperial
dining room was completed, the party
went to the masonic rooms and whiled
away several hours in social time.

Sulphur Water Did IL.

Sulphur water eat "A hole in the two
inch gas pipe in front of Stokes drug
store and let quite quantity of the
aeriform fluid escape Thursday night,
but fortunately the gas worked its way
up through the ground in place OF into
Mr.. Stokes cellar. Had the escaping
gas gone into the cellar, which would
have been just as easy way Of escape,
there would have been terrible ex-
plosion. II required all of Friday to
put in a new piece of pipe, and during
that time Mr.. Stoke had TO burn wood
in his store stove and send his family
out to neighbor's.

Almost a LYnching Bee.

Punxsutawney experienced an excite
ment Friday afternoon such as has new
er been known in that town before. and
II was only by prompt action on the part
Of officials that two negroes were not
lynched. Two colored individuals who
were employed on the new railroad
were In Punxsutawncy Friday and they
stole some clothing from store. A
warrant was issued for the thieves and
Policeman Clayton Palmer went 10
quest Of the culprits. He found them
at the Il. & N. w. II. r. station and
when he attempted TO arrest them one
OF the negroes shot him. The bullet
entered his face and inflicted bad
wound, but not fatal one. The news
OF the shooting spread rapidly and a
crowd Of men soon surrounded the
negroes and captured them, not, how
over, until several other citizens had
narrow escapes from death. as the
negroes fought desperately before they
surrendered. An excited mob waited
for the night shades to have lynch
ing bee. The people supposed the
prisoners would be taken to Jail via rail
and the b., r. & p. Ry station was
watched until the last northbound b.,
r. & u. train left. While the railroad
was being watched the officers hustled
the negroes into carriage and took
them to Brookville overland. The
negroes were in dread of being
lynched and did not breathe easy until
they were locked in the county Jail and
then they said they truly thanked the
Lord they were alive. One OF the me-
groes is tough looking customer, but
the other don't possess such villainous
look.
They gave their names as William
Harris and Robert Scott. The charges
against them are felonious assault and
shooting with intent to kill.

"The Mission of Mirth.

Last Friday evening Rev. Thomas
McClary, OF Minneapolis, Mimi, lec-
tured to a large and apprecative audi
ence in Assembly hall on "The Mission
Of Mirth." For one hour and forty-five
minutes the lecturer highly entertained
his hearers. This was the last lecture
in the public school course for this
school year. With, perhaps, one ex-
ception the course was a good one, and
we believe, generally speaking, the cit
zens OF Reynoldsville appreciated the
opportunity given them to attend good
lectures. The school cleared some
money out of the course and the money
will be expended in buying needful
things for the schools.

Dropped Dead.

William McIntosh, an old citizen of
Beechwoods, dropped dead at his home
early Friday morning from heart
trouble. William and Robert Mcintosh,
two bachelor brothers, lived alone on
the old Mcintosh homestead. They
had been keeping "bach" about ten
years. Friday morning while Robert
was getting breakfast William COM
planned of toothache and sat down in
front Of the stove and warmed mitten
and held it to his face. He inquired Of
his brother If it had showed during the
night and walked to the door to look out.
Just as he took hold of the door knob
he fell to the floor and expired without
speaking a word. A doctor was sum
moned but his services We're not needed,
for the earthly career of William McIn-
tosh was ended. The deceased was six
ty years old. He was the Oldest son Of
John Mcintosh, an Irishman, who was
one OF two OF the first white men to
settle in Beechwood, which was in 1923.
w liam and Robert Mcintosh were al
mos inseparable companions; they al

both very industrious and were held in
high esteem by their neighbors.

o. F., are moving their furniture and
paraphernalia from S. Il. Reynolds
building across the street into the new
brick erected by the Reynoldsville

Odd Fellows, and consist of one large
hall or meeting room, two good sized
ante-rooms, and five wardrobe rooms,
the latter for their own use and for the

"Mother." A small sheaf of wheat lay
upon the lid Of the casket.
Rev. Bowers referred to the heavy
hand Of affliction that rests upon the
family at the present time. The moth
er has passed away, the father is i'll in

bers OF the family remained at its bed
side while others attended the funeral

to the memory OF the departed. For
over half a century she was member
of the church and lived "A Christian life.
In her parting moments her faith was
strong and unshaken and she passed
away without fear Of the future and
happy because she was to suffer no long
or the ills OF this earthly existence.
Mr.. Scheafnocker was propped up in
bed at the City Hospital, and from a
window saw the procession as it moved
to the place OF burial.

ROAD TIED UP.

of Grading.

There is a serious hitch in the matter
of the contract for the road from Hama
to Nahiku on the Island of Maui. All
of the bids are far above the appropri-
alton. There are eight sections of the
road. w. A. Mckay bids on seven of
them at a lump sum of $4,000. Wilson
& Whitehouse, the only other bidders,
want $3.50 for the eight sections. They
also agree to build a makeshift road
for $17, 500.

there was either a serious blunder in
the appropriation or there is a misun-
derstanding on the part of the con-
tractors as to the work to be done
