TROLLEY LINE SURVEY
Glass Plant Being Pushed Rapidly
VIII Blow Glass Before April ist.
STREETS SOON TO BE LIGHTED I
Electric Light Plant will be In Operation the
Latter Part Of February.

The people of Reynoldsville haye
awakened to the fact that an era of
prosperity has forced itself upon us and
that the prospect for the towns future
was never so bright as IL Is now. An
electric railway, glass plant and electric
lights would bring the town up to the
front ranks, but there are other indus
tries in view which may be landed in
our midst before many months.
Monday morning AN engineer corps
began the survey for the trolley line
from this place to Rathmel, Big Soldier
Sykesville and Eleanora. A park will
be fitted up somewhere along the line
and before the picnic season Of 1900
draws to close trolley parties to the
park will be numerous. Any one who
may have doubted that the electric
railway would be built, can now banish
such doubts and feel assured that the
electric cars will be running on Main
street before the summer ends. The
survey will be completed as soon as pos
sible. but the work Of constructing the
railway will not be started until spring.
]. A. Vandegrift & Co., contractors of
Philadelphia, are the engineers for the
Reynoldsville Traction company and
they will likely construct the railway.
T. II. Loomis, civil engineer of Brook
lyn, N. Y, is here surveying the line
for Vandegrift & Co.
The work on glass plant is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. A large
force OF men are at work. The Star
Glass Company has a contract to furnish
glass by the 18th OF March, but the
plant will hardly be in operation before
the lst Of April.
Thomas Evans, who has contract for
electric light building, is pushing that
work. According to contract the build
ing is to be finished by the 18th Of next
month, and by the latter part Of Febru-
ary the citizens Of this town will not
have to walk in darkness any longer.

Good Institute.

The teachers county institute held at
BrOOkville last week was one OF the
best, II not the best, Institutes ever held
In the county. County Supt. Teitrick
deserves great praise and credit for
bringing the teachers institute up to
such a high standard. The day instruc-
tors last week were all highly educated
persons and the night entertainments
were first class. Prof. Teitrick gave
the teachers the best that could be OBJ
tained. There was keen disappoint-
ment Tuesday night because Bishop
Fowler failed to reach Brookville to de-
liver his lecture on Great Deeds OF
Great Men," but Prof. Teitrick was in
no way responsible for that disappoint-
ment. Russell Conwells lecture Thurs
day evening, "a Silver Crown, or how
to Succeed" could not help but make
every thoughtful person the better for
having listened to it.
After such profita institute the
educational interests in Jefferson coun-
ty will certainly be advanced during
1900.
As token Of the teachers apprecia-
tion Of Prof. Teitrick's successful efforts
to give them an excellent institute,
they gave him beautiful gold watch
and silver cake dish during the last
session OF institute. Prof. Allison, of
Punxsutawney, made the presentation

LOOKED DUBIOUS FOR A TIME.

Glass Plant Here.

Raise in Gas Came Near Knocking Out
Glass Plant Here.
II was fairly understood by the citi-
zens of this place aud the Star Glass
Company that II glass plant was
erected here that the Oil City Fuel Sup
ply Company would furnish gas for
manufacturing purposes at cents per
thousand, the same rate the same com
pany was furnishing gas to the glass
plants at Falls Greek and Dubois. but
when the manager Of the Star Glass
Company went to the gas Office the first
Of last week to make contract for gas he
was informed that the company would
not enter into contract to furnish gas
for less than 10 cents per thousand.
This was not only a surprise to the glass
company but also to our citizens. II
looked rs II the gas company was dis
eliminating between the Star Glass
Company and the glass plants at Falls
Creek and Dubois, aud rather than be
Disseminated against in that way the
glass company decided that they would
not build the glass plant at Reynolds
Vile.
The citizens had promised the glass
company cent gas and felt under OBJ
legation to do all In their power to se-
cure that rate, not only to make their
promise good, but to keep the glass men
from leaving the town. A committee
composed Of Mayor II. Alex Stoke, E.
A. Ferrin, DR.. w. b. Alexander and
s. b. Elliott went to Oil City Thursday
to consult with the head men of the
gas company and see II they could not
secure the cent rate. They were in
formed that the company would not
make better rate than 10 cents, but
were also informed that the contracts
Of the plants at Falls Creek and Dubois
would soon expire and that the gas COM
pany would not renew those contracts
for less than 10 cents. This will put
the glass plants in this section on the
same rate and the Star Glass Company
decided to remain at Reynoldsvile. 1t
would have been very black eye for
the town had the glass plant been
knocked out.
