Postofice Receipts.

The reports show that the business
done at the Reynoldsville postoffice last
month was Sl25.00 more than was ever
done at this postoffice in one month since
the Office was established. II this busi-
ness would continue Reynoldsville can
have free delivery within year. Our
people should buy all the postage
stamps, postal cards and everything
possible that they need at the Reynolds
vile Office to increase the business,
which must reach certain amount per
year to secure free delivery.
Another way to increase the volume
of business at the postofilce is to rent
boxes. Quite number Of people, who
have considerable mail matter every
day, should have boxes even for their
own convenience, who do not rent boxes
but have their mail put in the general
delivery.
The electric cars will soon run on our
streets and we believe II the people
would rent boxes and buy all the stamps,
postal cards, &C., at the Reynoldsville
postofllce that they use we will soon
also have free delivery and can put on
city airs.

Clearfield County's New Town.

Hyde City is the name OF the new
town on the banks of the Susquehanna
river, two miles above Clearfeld, where
Hyde Bros. g. Co. are building a large
steel plant and iron works. The steel
plant will be in operation early in 1908,
not later than March, and the iron
works will be built next year. The
steel plant will give employment to 700
men and the iron works will employ
1000 men, all skilled labor. Inside
of two years Hyde City will have
population of from 10000 to $1,000. A
street car line will connect Hyde City
and Clearfeld next year, and the old
town Of Clearfield will be surprised at
the hustle and hustle that will be thrust
upon it.
The editor of THE STAR went to
Clearfeld few days ago and our
genial friend, Hon. Matt Savage, editor
of the Clearfield Public Spirit, who is
responsible for the hum of industry that
will soon echo and reverberate through
the hitherto quiet and beautiful valley
between Clarified and Curwensville, had
his 2.40 nag hitched into red buggy
and took us up to Hyde City, where we
were driven over the streets Of the soon
to be city. This site is an ideal one for
a city of %, 900, and lots have been SELL
ing there like 'hot cakes"
After Mr.. Savage let loose Of ye
scribe Mr.. Hyde, superintendent of the
steel plant, kindly volunteered to show
us around the plant. There are not
more than dozen houses at Hyde
City yet, but there are 300 men at work
there.

all who become acquainted with him.
He was tall, had fine physique, was
good athlet and strong and speedy
runner, and an exceptionally good foot
ball player. He was an excellent young
man, and was popular in this place.
Mr.. Phalen was never in favor Of his
son becoming q rallroader, he opposed
1t and sent him to college to give him
an education for some other vocation,
but Barney preferred railroading and
accepted position as fireman, which
resulted so terribly. 1t is extremely
sad to see young man so suddenly cut

crew began at the r. & F. G. crossing
on Main street, near jefferson Supply
Co store, aud have the track laid about
halfway out TO J. j. Suffers residence.

laid on this side of Eleanora. Ties and
rails have been distributed along jack
sou street. The ties to be laid on the
streets are seven feet long, while the

feet long.
AS mentioned in THE STAR last week
the trolley line will run up Bradford
street to Jackson, down jackson to
Sixth, up Sixth to Main and down Main
street to the Iron bridge across Sandy
Lick. 1t is likely the line will be ex-
tended into West Reynoldsville II that
borough will grant franchise.
The old wooden bridge across Soldier
Run, on Bradford street, will be used
until next spring when Il new iron
bridge will be built at that point. The
present bridge is too narrow.

Trusting Bridges.

There is an immense amount of
freight being hauled over the Low
Grade Division OF L. II. II. at present
and the engines now used on the road
are too light to handle the freight, but
a number of bridges on the division are
not strong enough to run larger engines
over. However this difficulty will be
overcome about the first of next year.
Two bridge crews, the Low Grade crew
and River Division crew, are now ut
work trusting all the bridges that are
not safe to run the big engines over
and they will have this work completed
in about six weeks. A number OF new
steel bridges have already been put in
on Low Grade and the work will be
pushed as rapidly as possible until all
the wooden bridges are replaced with
steel bridges.

A Splendid Exhibition.

The Lyman II. Howe moving picture
company, gave splendid exhibition at
the opera house last evening. The ex-
hibition was complete success and all
who attended II went home more than
well pleased. Among the pictures
shown which attracted the greatest
interest were the scenes of the Corona
tion OF King Edward VII. They held
the close interest of the audience from
beginning to end The Oriental scenes
including pictures of life In Japan,
China, Arabia and India were very
fascinating. The entertainment was
fully what IL was advertised to be,
everything was new and the satisfaction
OF the audience was plainly evidenced
by the applause which followed each
picture.
1t was undoubtedly the best exhibition
OF the kind that has ever been given In

the p. r. r. yards at Dubois about
1890 p. m. on Monday, November "a,
1902, by falling In front of a moving
engine His body was badly mangled
The news OF the horrible accident was
great shock to Barney's many friends
In Reynoldsville and the sad news was
received with. blanched cheeks. The
body was brought to this place on train
No. 102, due here at 1882 p. m, and was
taken to the undertaking rooms of
Priester Bros. and prepared for burial.
In the evening the body accompanied
by six members of Elk lodge, was taken

Barney" Phalen, as he was familiar
ly known, was fireman on passenger
train No. 1l3, due here at 11.32 a. m,
which only runs to Dubois. After the
coaches were sidetracked and engine
turned for night trip, Engineer Frank
Clusterman and Fireman Phalen took
engine to upper end OF yard to take
water. When near the water plug
Phalen climbed over the tender to get
ready to jump off to turn the standpipe
OF water plug and he fell of in front OF
the engine, which was running slow.
The engineer did not see Barney fall,
but felt the iron monster strike his
body and stopped engine quickly, but
not until after the cruel wheels had
crushed the life out of the fireman. 1t
is supposed that in getting down over
the tender that Phalen took hold OF
the headlight on tender, which was in
sufficiently fastened, and it tore loose,
allowing Phalen to fall across the rail.
The Dubois Courier says Some work.
men who were eating their dinner at
the Dubois shaft nearby saw him as he
fell to the track with the headlight on
top of him."
