Basement Filled With Water.

The basement OF Bing-Stoke Com
pany's department store was covered
with over foot OF water Thursday eve
ming. The water continued to run In
and there was no outlet for IL, the drain
pipe being clogged. A siphon was put
in working order, but the water ran in
faster than the siphon was carrying 1t
out and towards morning the boiler
room was flooded, the steam went
down and the siphon would not work.
Friday morning half dozen or more
men we're put to work on pumps and by
keeping the pumps going continually
they succeeded in getting ahead Of the
incoming water and early Saturday
morning steam was raised and the
siphon started again, and 1t was not
until Sunday afternoon, when tho clog
ged sewer pipe In the alley back OF the
store was open, did the water quit run
ming into the basement of Bing-Stoke
Co.'S store. They had TO work continu-
ously from Thursday evening until Sun
day afternoon to keep the water down
so that their large stock of goods In
basement would not be destroyed.
The cellar Of G. II. Hall, adjoining
the Stoke building, was also filled with
water and Mr.. Hall had trouble in
saving the goods he had In cellar.
1t is claimed that the clogging up of
the sewer pipe, which, by the way, was
full OF newspapers, rags, &C., was the
cause Of all the trouble. The water
could not get out any other way and it
backed into the cellars and basement.
Just as soon as the sewer pipe was
opened in alley the water quit running
into Bing-Stoke Company's basement,
which made IL plain that the trouble
was caused by the clogged sewer pipe.

How About Murders at Dubois 2

There is paper published in Dubois
that thinks tbeJeiferson county author
titles are entirely too slow in getting
evidence in the John Tine murder case,
and adds There is growing disgust
for the officials of the county for their
apparent want of interest in seeking the
vindication of justice in an affair which
has been brought in such conclusive
form to their notice" True, the county
officials should not let up on this case
until they have sifted it to the bottom,
and no doubt are working on it quietly,
but the people of Clearfeld county, and
especially the people of Dubois, should
be the last to get disgusted with the
jefferson county officials, for have there
not been murders committed in Dubois
and Clearfeld county? and what efforts
did the officials put forth to run down

Horrible Accident.

Mrs. J. G. McEntire was called to
Williamsport Saturday to attend the
funeral OF her brother, Frank T. Car
ruth, who met with horrible accident
Friday afternoon and died in the Will
Transport hospital that evening. Mr..
Carruth had been a freight conductor
on the p. II. r. for many years. The
accident occurred at Nisbet, between
Lock Haven and Williamsport. The
Gazette and Bulletin says "The cars
were being switched at the time OF the
accident, Carruth was alone, and no
one knows how 1t happened, but the
supposition is that in attempting to
board the cars he slipped on the ice
and fell under the wheels.
ut was horrible accident, both legs
being cut off below the knees and his
right arm broken and crushed. With
his uninjured arm the unfortunate con-
ductor dragged himself from beneath
the cars and shortly attracted the
attention of other members OF the
crew. He was brought to the
Williamsport hospital, where DR.. c. w.
Youngman and other surgeons ampu-
tated his legs. They did not attempt
TO attend to the crushed arm, as the
injured man was suffering too much
from shock, and there was a doubt from
the first whether he would live. How
ever, every effort was made to save his
life, but in spite OF all that could be
done he passed away at 9.45 o'clock. I"
Mr.. Carruth was about So years old.
He leaves wife and family at Will
Transport. Funeral took place Mon

The members of the Relief Corps
have been working hard and unselfish-
ly for number of years, giving sup

money for some old soldier or soldiers

we believe this Is the first time, as a

pleasure as they had Friday evening.

LAST DAYS OF ST. PIERRE.
An illustrated Lecture by Frank r.
Robertson.

The destruction of st. Pierre less than
a year ago. caused by the eruptions Of
Mt. Pelee, was one OF the greatest trag-
edies of all history. The loss OF life
was enormous, reaching nearly forty
thousand. But few people escaped the
awful catastrophe. This modern Pom
peii was visited few days after the
eruption by Mr.. Robertson, who had Sc
cured the assistance Of an expert pho
tographer. With aid he secured views
and actual scenes which are OF intense
interest to man. These photographs
were designed for this lecture and they
are the very finest illustrations that can
be obtained. With the assistance of
these the description of events and
places becomes very vivid and real
when given by so able a lecturer as
Mr. Robertson, whose reputation and
ability cannot be questioned. He stands
first In rank In his work, and the Last
Days of st. Pierre" cannot fail to please
Reynoldsvllle audience. The mag
nifcent illustrations themselves would
be interesting and entertaining but
when they are accompanied by the
vivid descriptions Of the lecturer, the
lecture cannot fall short of highly en-
tertaning and instructing.
Mr. Robertson will be here Monday
evening. Feb. o. as the third number OF
the public school lecture course. No
one can afford to miss this attraction.
Tickets may be secured at Stokes drug
store at fifty cents for reserved seats
and thirty.Hve cents for general ad-
mission. The plot of Assembly hall

No Design on Principalship.

Some one has started the report that
Prof. G. w. Lenkerd was taking some
part In political matters because he in

palship OF the schools of this borough
for next term. The editor of THE STAR
interviewed Prof. Lenkerd concerning
this report, and he authorizes us to
state that he has no intentions of max
ing application for the principalship,
and that he does not ever expect to en-
gage in school work again because he
can make much more money by putting
as much energy into some other line of
business as he put into the school work.
Therefore, Prof. Lenkerd wants it dis.
tinctly understood that he has no design
on the principalship nor has he any de-
sire for the position. He is positively
out of school work, and any part that
he may take in political matters is
simply done as citizen of the town, as
any other man may take part in politi-
cal matters to help friend
