Old Time Merchant
Visits ReynoIdsviIIe
Charles H. Gordon Embarked
In Business Half Cen
tury Ago.

Charles Fl. Gordon, who moved from
Reynoldsville to Washington, D. c.,
fifteen years ago, arrived in town at
noon last Thursday, for his first visit
to the place since he become resident
OF the Capitol City, was given the
fglad hand" and cordial welcome by
his numerous old time friends. For
about 80 years Mr. Gordon was an
honored and successful merchant OF
Reynoldsville. He embarked in the
mercantile business in Reyn0ldsville in
November, 1850, near Tenth street.
when the town was small and not very
thrifty. Mr.. Gordon erected the store
room and dwelling at corner OF Main
and Tenth streets. where he conducted
business for number of years. After
the Low Grade railroad was built and
business began to center nearer the rail-
road Mr. Gordon erected the brick build
ing now occupied by the Reynoldsville
Candy Works. His business increased
and he erected the brick building
occupied by Nolan Shoe Co. and with
an archway between the two rooms
Mr.. Gordon occupied both rooms for
his large stock OF goods. Later Mr..
Gordon erected the brick now occupied
by Cunningham's jewelry store for the
Seeley & Alexander Co. bank, OF which
he was a member. Mr.. Gordon erected
and occupied the dwelling at corner
OF Fourth and Jackson streets, now
occupied by P. Mcdonald. At the
time it was built it was one of she finest
residences in Reynoldsville.
While Mr.. Gordon has kept In touch
with Reynoldsville during bis fifteen
years. absence by reading THE STAR
every week, yet the improvements in
the town In that time have beautified
the places beyond his expectations. He
thinks the town is now real pretty
place, and what else could he think?
Paved streets, fine business blocks and
beautiful residences, which have been
erected since he moved out from among
us, certainly has made a vast improve
ment in our town.

HUNTERS CARELESSNESS
CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE
Leaves Caught Fire and All the Woods
Below Pleasant Avenue Was
Burned.

Thursday morning a hunter passing
through the woods between the Reyn-
oldsville cemetery and Sandy Lick
creek shot of his gun and 1t Is supposed
that burning paper from the charge fell
among dry leaves on the ground and
started fire. The leaves, dry dead
weeds and bushes burned rapidly and
by noon had spread over several acres,
coming close to buildings along Pleas
ant Avenue. About two o'clock it be-
came necessary to carry buckets of
water to the roofs OF houses nearby and
an alarm was given for fire companies.
The firemen responded and for an hour
and half, with two lines of hose, fought
the flames. The homes of James Lusk
and Frank Kelly and barn OF Joseph
Sanders were In greatest danger, but
none of the buildings was actually on
fire. Friday afternoon the fire broke
out again and swept over the region
once known as the Grove and came so
close to houses located near it that
another call was made for aid and line
of hOse was hurried to the scene.

VOLUME II.
State Road Opened Thursday.

The state road from Reynoldsville
borough line to the Clearfield county
line above Rathmel, about four miles
long, was opened to the public last
Thursday. This is, perhaps, one of
the best pieces OF state road in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is paved with brick from the
Reynoldsville borough line to the school
house above Rathmel and from
there to the Clearfield county
line is macadamized. 1t is likely,
that next year, or in couple
OF years at farthest, the road will be
completed through to Dubois. 1t is
the desire and intention Of those in
state authority to connect towns
throughout the state with state roads
as soon as possible and not to have only
pieces Of paved roads here and there.
Among those who went out from
Reynoldsvile Thursday afternoon in
automobiles to inspect the new state
road were Assistant State Highway
Inspector G. w. Ensign, of Harrisburg,
District Superintendent Claybaugh,
County Commissioner E. T. McGaw
and J. M. Norris, one of the supervisors
of Winslow township.

CIearfie1d; Buried Here

Joseph Lewis Heaton former resident
of Hopkins and known to a number of
residents of this place as Joker"
Heaton, who moved to Clearfield about
twelve years ago, shot and killed him
self at his home near Clearfield at
noon on Wednesday of last week, Oc-
tober IA, 1908. Why he took his own
life is unknown to his wife ana rela-
tives. A neighbor had been at Mr..
'Heatons for dinner that day and Mr..
Heaton was cheerful and there was not
the slightest indication that he con-
A'templated such an awful deed. After
the neighbor had started home Mrs.
Heaton went out to summer kitchen
near house and left Mr.. Heaton alone,
who had told her that he would start
for load of stone in few minutes.
She was only out of the house few
minutes when she heard the shot,
which she thought was some distance
from her home and did not 90 into
the house Immediately, but when she
did she was Mortified to find her hus-
band sitting on rocking chair dead with
q bullet hole in his forehead. He had
used small rifle to take his own life.
Joseph L. Heaton was born in Eagle
Valley, Pa, August 10, 1852, making
him 56 years, 2 months and A days old
at time of death. Body was brought to
Reynohsville on the 1.2S p. m. train
Friday and taken to Beulah cemetery
for interment. Rev. ]. c. McEntire, of
this place, conducted short service at

Glass Plant to Operate
Within Three Months
Work Commentator Changes
In Tank Last Week and
Will be Rushed.

By January l5, 1909, 1t is practically y
certain that the Star Glass Co g plant
at Reynoldsville will be in operation.
This is assured by the final agreement
between the local company and the
owners of the Colburn sheet window
glass machine of Franklin, which, after
considerable negotiation became efJec-
tive last week.
The work of remodeling the local
plant has been commenced. The ma
chine requires a space 2l5 feet in length
and to accommodate it, the connecting
passage between blowing and natten-
ing houses will be widened, a number
of flattening ovens torn out and the
end of melting tank be rebuilt The
machine is constructed on brick foun-
dation or metal and wood and requires
extreme care in building. The glass
is drawn in sheet 60 inches wide from
the molten mass in the oven and when
in operation extends the full length
of the machine. The present blowing
and ffattening departments are unneces-
sary.

Dynamo and Compressor In
jured by Fire and Falling
Debris.
MINE HAS BEEN IDLE SINCE

About s 30 Friday evening, October
l6, fire started in the power house OF
the Panther Run Coal Company at
Pardus and gave the people of the
village an hours fight before being
extinguished. The boiler, compressor
and dynamo sections are in one long
tile building and the fire, which origin
ated In an oil filter, completely de-
stroyed the roof over the dynamo and
compressor end of the building and in
iured part of the boiler section. The
loss will approximate $1,000. The heat,
falling slate and iron injured the
dynamo and compressor so badly that
the pumps in the mine could not be
worked for twenty hours after the fire,
during which time considerable water
gathered in the mine and made it i'm
possible to work. 1t is thought that
the dynamo can be repaired and every
thing put in shape for resumption OF
work either to-day or tomorrow.
The Pardus mines have been running
practically full time for several weeks
and have orders to be filed which
guarantee steady work to the miners
in that section for an indefinite time.

Rev. Myers has two calls, Natrona,
Pa, and Moundsville, W. Va. but has
not decided yet which call he will ac-
cept. The work on Reynoldsville
charge, which includes Chestnut Grove
and limerick Vile. make it pretty hard
