In the Dead's. City-Funeral of the
Late Frank Elgin.

Frank Elgin were laid to rest in
the Odd Fellows cemetery Satur-
day. The funeral occurred from
the family home, at 10 O'Clock and

Mrs. Sewall, of Portland and Mrs.
Durbin, OF Salem, sisters, and
James Elgin, of Salem, brother OF

an unusual offering. brought from
far and near by sorrowing friends
of the deceased and his family.
The services were conducted by G.
S. 0. Humbert, now OF Eugene,

church in which the nereaved fami-
ly hold membership. The pail bear
ers were J. R. Smith, E. E. Wilson,
w. S. Linville, Richard Kiger,
Richard Smith and Richard Gra-
ham.
In the passing of Mr. Elgin. an
open-hearted, genial man lays aside
his work. His friends were strong,
enduring and numerous. His CHEEKY
salutation was ever welcome to
those wont to hear it. Mr.. Elgin
had known for some mouths that
his time was short, and to few
friends had made the fact known
He expected to be summoned sud-
denly, by reason of heart affect
ion. and the last ride, the quick fail
ure of the heart pul-ation, and the
silent and sudden ending of ca.
reer was in full keeping with his
expectations, For his going there
is sincere regret, and for his inter
esting family the deepest sympathy
of kind community.

TROUBLE Al, TANNERY.
Some Men Discharged Others Quit-Few
Still Working.

M. Wait, u union organizer from
Philadelphia, came here last week and
began organizing the employees OF the
tannery in West Reynoldsville into a
union. The officials of tannery learned
what was being done and some fifteen
to twenty Of the employees, who either
joined the union or intended to, were
discharged Saturday and then number
Of the others quit and now there are
only few men at work In the tannery.
The men.are determined not to return
to work unless the union is recognized
and this the company refuses to do, and
that is the situation.
A committee of business men called
at the office OF Elk Tanning Co. yester-
day afternoon to see II 1t was possible
to get the difficulty between the COM
pany and employees adjusted, but they
did not accomplish anything. District
Supt. Schultz, who was In the Office,
said the matter would have to be taken
up with G. W. Chllds, OF Ridgway,
whom the committee talked TO over
telephone, but Mr.. Childs refused to
recognized the union or employ union
men. The committee was informed
that 1t was the intention Of the company
to dismantle the tannery and shut 1t
down never to run II again.

The Shooting Habit Among Italians

Rev. Father John DeVille, Of Wal
ston, is making determined effort TO
induce his Italian Pensioners to quit
carrying weapons. He has been preach
ing against it and making personal
pleas to them, but with Indifferent
success. He says they have weak
ness for weapons that is almost second
nature. They like the sensation caused
by the crack Of pistol and use them to
celebrate in all ways. Every time a
baby is born there is general fusilad.
A birth is announced by three revolver
shots from the home II il be boy, and
two II it be girl Immediately there
after all the friends hoist their win
dows and begin shooting in celebration
of the event. Father DeVille Is en-
deavoring TO induce them to celebrate
In some less hazardous way, but they
are hard to wean from their old habits.

PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED.
Engineer Blakely Lost Leg-Fireman
Injured--Two Engines Demolished.

The p. r. II. passenger train due
here at $50 p. m. crashed into light
engine standing on the main track on
the sharp curve near the east end OF
the large cut below Reynoldsville Mon
day night. There was no one on the
engine, not even light on IL, that
stood in the path of the passenger train
and Engineer David Blakely and Fire
man Ralph Hunter did not see the en-
gine until about the time the iron
monster they were on crashed into ten
der OF the other engine. There was no
time for the engineer and fireman TO
Jump before the awful crash occurred
and IL Is miraculous how they escaped
from instant death. The tender of the
light engine, No. o, was driven into
cab of engine and the tender OF the
passenger engine, No. Al, was driven
into cab, pinioning Engineer Blakely's
left leg to boiler head of engine, and II
was over an hour before he was extri-
Gated, and his suffering was intense
Mr.. Blakely Is large man and IL
seems almost impossible that he could
be squeezed up into the little space he
was taken out of and not be crushed to
death. Mr.. Blakely's left leg was
badly crushed and had to be amputated
six inches below the knee. The opera
tion was performed at Mr.. Blakely's
home in Dubois yesterday afternoon.
Drs. j. b. Neale and Harry B. King, Of
Reynoldsville, assisted in the operation.
Both of Mr.. Blakely's legs were badly
scalded and he was otherwise injured,
but he will recover.
When the collision occurred the fire.
man was thrown off the engine, which
is all that saved his life. He had been
OIL his box and was just getting on it
when their engine plunged into the
other one. Hunters back was badly
injured.
None OF the passengers were injured,
but they were badly shaken up. The
ladies' coach was next to engine and
the shock was so great that some of the
seats in that coach were torn loose,
Henry b. Clayson and wife were .he
only Reynoldsville people on the train.
Four or five Reynoldsville doctors and a
number OF town people were soon at the
wreck
The engineer and fireman we're taken
to Dubois about midnight.
Both engines were badly demolished.
Nj. j. McEnteer was conductor OF the
train.
No one seems to be able 70 explain
how engine 9 got out on the main
track, as 1t had been put into engine
house yard two hours before the pas
senger train was due. The hostler saws
that the engine was standing down near
blacksmith shop, some distance from
main track, short time before the
passenger train was due, and IL is up
grade from where engine stood out TO
main track. 1t Is certainly very mis-
terious how the engine got onto main
track.

ductoI and M. j. Gleason, engineer, hal
the wreck cleared away before no| n

In the write-up Of the literary con.

explanation why Punxs'y high school

lowing to the fact that we have no aud
itorium in connection with our public
school, not one Of the four contestants
had ever appeared before an audience OF
more than forty or fifty people until
