The Growth of Reynoldsville.

The people OF Jefferson county note
with degree OF satisfaction the rapid
manner in which the town of Reynolds
vile has been coming TO the front during
the past few years. There is no town
in the county that has made more rapid
strides than Reynoldsville, and the
numerous enterprises that have been
located at that place during the past
few years are in nearly every instance
backed up by local capital. The people
Of the town have taken an interest in
the affairs of the place, and II the same
progressive spirit that has been man.
ifested in the recent past, shall continue
for another few years, Reynoldsville
will soon become the metropolis of the
county, or perhaps, of this section of
the state.
Responsibilities experience has been u
peculiar one. Some time ago it was
but an overgrown coal town and depend
ed entirely upon these operations for
its existence. Year by year, however,
the coal mines of the town commenced
moving farther away and other little
towns sprung up about it. The very
foundation was thus slipping from under
the town and every day it became moro
evident that II the town was to hold
fast to the surface OF the earth it would
have to secure other things for the en-
ployment OF labor.
At the critical time the people came
to the rescue Of the town, and it seems
that every man has risked what money
he had and obligated himself for what
he could get In order that his town
might become prosperous again. This
has made Reynoldsville one of the best
towns In the nty.-Brockwayvillo

Explosion a, Powder Works.

Another explosion occurred at the
works OF the Mahoning Powder Com
pany's plant, located about two miles
from this place, on Wednesday after.
noon about 200 o'clock, the third TO
occur in the past three years. One man
was instantly killed, and three others
very badly injured, one of which died
the same day. Just what caused the
explosion nobody seems TO know, and
the officials and men are giving out no
information. When the explosion
occurred hundreds Of people from this
place, at once surmised what had hap
pened, rushed with all possible speed to
the mill, but were met at the gate by
watchman who announced that nobody
could be admitted but physicians
Little or no information was given out
at first, and IL was not known for some
time that any one was killed.
1t was later learned that those killed
and injured were as follows Leonard
Bair, aged about % years, OF Cloe,
instantly killed Sheridan Calhoun,
injured so badly that he died Wednes-
day night and Lot Bair, brother Of
Leonard Bair, and William Van Dyke,
very badly injured, but may recover.
The explosion occurred in the press
room, and 1t is estimated that about
900 kegs OF powder let go. The build
ing was blown TO atoms, and the body
of Leonard Bair was blown about 100
feet from where the explosion took
place. He was evidently struck on the
head by piece of flying debris, as the
entire back portion Of the head was
gone when the body was found. Aside
from this the body was not badly
mutilated. Sheridan Calhoun was
badly burned all over the body. The
other injured men received many cuts
and burns.
The shock OF the explosion was heard
for many miles, and windows we're
broken in Punxsutawney. Many Of the
houses at Cloe were badly damaged,
some OF them having the windows, sash
and all, blown out, and the chimneys

A Magnificent Parade.

Independent OF all other showmeu,
Sig. Sautelle, one Of the worlds recog-
nized circus kings, states most emphati-
cally that he will never enter into any
compact to do away with the parade.
In the words OF Mr.. Sautelle, others
may do as they please relative to
abolishing their street displays, he pro-
poses to continue putting out as gorge
Gus pageant as is possible in every
city or town where his shows exhibit
just as long as he remains before the
public. This season Mr.. Sautelle,
whose Nine Consolidated Railroad
Shows will appear in Reynoldsville,
September 49, afternoon and evening,
promises most magnificent free parade.
In the several sections will be heard
numerous bands of music and there
will be 200 or more men and women,

golden chariots, gilded tableaux, vans
and floats, hundreds of blooded horses
and ponies, a troupe OF elephants, a
double herd Of camels, clowns, steam
calliope and a number of exclusively
new and original features. Notwith-
standing that Mr.. Sautelle has invested
a goodly sized fortune in the purchase
of animals, the building of rolling stock
and procuring up-to-the-minute novel;
ties that his free street show will be
second to none this year, he has COM
bined his several amusement enterprises
and exhibits all under hugh water
