The August term Of court began Mon

There is quite long list OF criminal

near Eleanora. He was sentenced to
30 days in the county Jail, pay fine OF
sl.O0 and costs Of prosecution. The
three young men who were charged
with stealing beer out OF car at Beech
tree plead guilty and were given 30
days in the county jail A man named
Bowdish from Brockwayville plead
guilty to charge OF resisting an officer
and he was sentenced to sixty days in
the county Jail. An assault and battery
case from Punxsutawney, in which both
the plaintiff and defendant were old
women, was settled by the defendant
pleading guilty, paying $500 fine and
costs of prosecution, which amounted
to $500.
There is one murder case to be tried
this term, and the defendant is an Ital-
ian who killed a fellow countryman near
Eleanora several years ago and escaped
at the time. The defendant will try to
prove that he killed the man in self
defense. This case has drawn large

Concert Friday Evening.

The concert given in the opera house
Friday evening under the auspices of
the Y. p. S. G. +. of the Presbyterian
church, was the best entertainment of
the kind ever given in Reynoldsville.
The audience was a very appreciative
one, but not as large as IL should have
been, although it was fair sized audi
dence. The rain, no doubt, kept quite
a number at home. The personnel was
rs follows: Mabelle Lewis Arnold, vio-
linist, A. Elleanore Arnold, soprano,
both OF Clarion, Lyman Wells Clary,
baritone and accompanist, Of Syracuse,
n. Y, Edna Elizabeth Boyd, reader, of
Dubois. and Raymond Elliott Brown,
reader OF Reynoldsville. Those who at
tended the entertainment will not gain
say the statement that the participants
are talented and that the entertainment
was first-class throughout.

Which Occurred Monday.
A HIGHLY RESPECTED CITIZEN.
Squire Test Had Resided Here About Thirty
Years-Stroke Of Paralysis Friday
Night Caused Death.

AT LILO p. m, Monday, August l4th,
Jesse Lee Test Esq, was called to his
reward In the eternal haven OF rest. for
which he had long ago made prepara-
tions. Squire Test had been i'll almost
two years and several times during that
period he was very near the gates Of
death, but he had recovered sufficiently
TO be able to get around some and 1t
was hoped that he might remain with
his loved ones for years to come, but a
stroke of paralysis Friday night was too
much for his weakened constitution and
the end came at the time stated above.
His entire left side was paralized and
he was unconscious most of the time
afterwards. The last and only word he
spoke after the stroke was when a
minister called to see him and asked
II they should sing. He nodded assent
and when asked what they should sing
he said, "Hallelujah."
Funeral services were held at the
residence at 200 p. m. yesterday, con-

so years old last June. January u,
1853, he was united in marriage to Miss

as justice OF the peace in Center county.
In 1870, when Reynoldsvile was very
small town, Mr.. Test moved to this
place and bought up considerable real
estate. At that time he thought the
upper end of town would be the business
center and he bought most of his real
estate in that end Of town. He was one
of the active citizens of the town for a
number of years, but old age and poor
health retired him from active business
affairs some years ago.

PHIL DONAHUE DEAD.
Sad Termination of the Life
of a Promising Young
Man.

One of the saddest deaths that is paper
has yet called upon to notice was that OF
Phil Donahue, which occurred Wednes-
day morning at Lakeland Asylum, where
ne had been under treatment since last
fall for an affection of the brain.
He was one of the best known young
men in this city, and during his short
career had been highly honored, having
represented the Tenth ward in the Board
of Councilmen, and subsequently holding
the office of Deputy Sheriff and until his
misfortune was deputy under Jailer Pfanz.
Although only thirty-6ve years of age,
he had long been recognized as one Of
most active and honorable politicians in
the city, and those whom he supported
considered him a tower of strength. His
great popularity is best evidenced by the
fact that he was the only man who was
ever able to encompass the defeat of the
late lack Mellet in the Tenth ward. Be
sides he was we'll and favorably known
all over the city, and his public and pri
vate records were noted for integrity anC
and probity.
During the past month he had beer
subject to frequent attacks of epilepti'
fits, and in the past week had suffered
from no less than seven of them. Wednes
day morning he had very severe at
tack, and although everything that coulC
be was done for him he passed away
His remains were Immediately brough
to his former home at Thirteenth ant
Jefferson streets, where they were viewed
by a steady stream of sorrowing friends
The deceased was brother of Pa

His funeral took place yesterday morn
ing from St. Patr1ck's church, and wa

present to pay the last tribute to trie

HER WORK CUT OUT.
Designer Fife Enthusiastic
Over the Prospects of
the Shamrock.

Designer Fife has heard much of the
speed and beautiful dimensions of the
Columbia, and now deigns to say just a
little about the prospects of the Sham
rock and to give out few facts. He
declares that he has the utmost conf
dence in his latest creation. He stated
to the Worlds Rothesay correspondent
Saturday that he believes the challen-
gers sail-carrying powers are indicated
by the extraordinary size of her ocean
spars. She will be ketch rugged, like the
Valkyrie ILL.,, but on a much bigger
scale. The mainmast will measure ninety
feet, the topmast fifty feet, the mizzen
seventy feet and the bowsprit stumpy.
The latter will merely carry bobstay to
safeguard against wreckage and collision.
Some Fairlie workmen were shown a
piece of the aluminium used in the Sham
rock and they we're greatly astonished at
its lightness, but were doubtful whether
it would stand gale of the western
ocean.
A Southampton correspondent wires
that although everything is being kept
very secret as to the trial race of the
Shamrock and Britannia, the Shamrock
will probably be completed as far as pos
sible now by Wednesday, while the Brit
ANNA will not be much later, though she
is being recoppered. The point has now
been set at rest as to whether there are tc
be any races. When the statement wa:
first made an explanation was given tC
the press that no racing was intended
and that the Shamrock would merely ties
her speed with the Britannia. But since
it has been officially stated there will b
racing. The Prince of Wales will, i
possible, be present on at least one occa
sion, but no date has yet been fixed.
Capt. O'Neill has been interviewed
and in reply to questions said:
81 have seen the Shamrock, and it j!
very difficult as yet to express anything
like reliable opinion, but we have beef
watching very carefully the Columbia
trials with the Defender. l know tn
Defender of old. She is a fast boat an
one by no means easy to beat. There
fore it was surprising to see how easil
the Columbia beat her. That is, @
| course, if the reports are accurate. If tn
Columbia can sail at the rate indicated
all can say is that the Shamrock has a

Delegates Will Be Sent to the
National Eisteddfod of
Wales.

An interesting meeting of the Council
of the Society for the Preservation Of the
Irish Language took place recently in
Dublin, Count Plunkett in the chair.
The council had under consideration
the appointment of delegates to represent
the society at the forthcoming National
Eisteddfod of Wales, to be held at Cardiff
in July. Their appointment was deferred
to a subsequent meeting.
]. Conner, Secretary of the elena
maddy Teachers Association, Ballinasloe,
wrote that the Irish language is steadily
gaining ground in his locality. This sat
isfactory result was chiefly due to the
untiring zeal of their esteemed clergy
sermons, prayers, Irish catechism an6
Irish speeches at public meetings being
the order of the day.
Last April at the polling booths teach
ers employed as presiding officers had tC
appoint interpreters to assist them in the
discharge of their duties.
