EYesight Restored.

John Convey, OF West Reynoldsville,
who had been partially blind six years
and totally blind two years, was taken
to the st. Johns Hospital In Allegheny
City and had the sight OF one eye
restored by an operation. DR.. Eckles
performed the operation. Mr.. Convey
returned to his home Wednesday.
When the train pulled into town and he
looked around he said IL appeared to
him that he had been away from Reyn-
odsville six years. Mr.. Convey will
return to Allegheny next month and
have an operation on the other eye.
Mr.. Conveys case came to notice of
Detective T. ]. Dempsey, Of p. II. r.
Office, and he raised money among the
railroad boys and also got a pass for
Mr.. Convey to go to the hospital, who
was not able to pay the expenses
himself and may never have had his
eyesight restored but for Mr.. Dempsey
and the railroad boys.

Not Enough Coaches.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
issued 1900 excursion orders for the
Knights OF Pythias reunion at Brook
vile last Thursday and did not put
even one extra coach on any OF the
morning trains. When the sos train
pulled into Reynoldsville the cars were
packed full, even the platforms and
steps OF the coaches were full and there
we're about three hundred people stand
ing on the station platform who wanted
to get on the already crowded train.
The crowd at this place was notified
that the train would run to Brookville
and Immediately return TO Reynolds
vile for the leftover passengers, max
ing it necessary for the good natured
crowd to remain at this place an hour
longer. The through passengers we're
unloaded at Brookville and had to wait
until the passenger train made the
return trip to Reynoldsville. Both
times the train left Reynoldsville the
two coaches and baggage car and plat
forms we're crowded with passengers.
The afternoon trains were provided
with more coaches.

Let Contract To-Nipht.

AT six o'clock this evening all bids
for paving Main street must be in
the hands of the secretary OF town
council, as no bids will be received
after that hour. The borough dads"
meet tonight to let the contract
for paving Main street. 1t is not
at all likely that council will make a
contract with any bidder who wants to
use other than Reynoldsville brick, and
there is no reason why they should.
There are no better paving brick made
in the country than are made by the
brick plants at this place, and we under
stand good quality of paving brick
cannot be bought any cheaper at any
other plant than they can at Reynolds
vile, therefore, quality being as good
and price as low as at any other plant,
1t is only right and proper for council
to patronize home industries and thus
keep the moneyin circulation in Reyn-
oldsville.
