More Eectoneering Done:On Tuesday Than Has Marked
Manya General Election.-Partisans and Opponents
Of the Old Council Had Warm Debates
WILLIAMS FOR BURGESS
Election in West Reynolds
vile Was Quiet, the Bond
ing for School Purposes Be-
ing Strongly Approved.

Yesterdays local election was
more hotly contested than any
previous one for years. The wet
weather had no dampening ef-
feet on the ardor of the candi-
dates and both Republicans and
Democrats put in a strenuous
day. Chief interest centered in
the contest for council, where
the recent action of half of the
present members in voting to
table the m unicicipal water
works matter, was one of the
bones of contention.
There were more straight tick
cts voted yesterday than is GUS
tomary, especially among the
Republicans, but the majority
searched their ballots for the best
men without regard to party.
Jarvis D. Williams, Republican
for chief burgess, won by an easy
majority.
In West Reynoldsville the pro-
position to bond the borough
school district for $11, 10000
for the purpose of erecting new
school building was approved.
The votein favor was 81; against
13.

Half Time at Eriton.

The Erie operations in this section
are only working three days week al
present on account Of surplus OF coal
The coal mined at the Eriton and Toby
valley mines is almost entirely used by
the engines on the Erie road and 1t was
found last week that an extra supply
was on hand and that it would be
necessary to shut down until the supply
was used up. The supply has almost
entirely been used and it is possible
that the miners will start full time
again this week.

THE PUBLIC CENTENARY SERVICE.

TdE fUbLlC CENIENAhr SEhNlCEs
There are still living in Reynolds
vile several men who met Abraham
Lincoln face to face In the days Of the
great war. Some OF these were present
at the inspiring centenary exercises in
the Methodist Episcopal church Friday
evening. To them the program re-
called the most sacred and cherished
memories Of their lives. The audi
torium Of the church had been very
beautifully festooned with American
flags and emblems by Il. E. Phillips
and this, with the resounding battle
hymns and songs, served to arouse q
high pitch Of patriotic fervor in the
large audience.
The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the G. A. R., s. OF ", W.
r. c., and the program prepared by
representatives Of these orders was an
excellent one. Harvey s. Deter acted
as chairman and the principal speaker
Of the evening was the Rev. John F.
Black, pastor Of the M. E. church.
His address was we'll worded delinea-
tion Of the Life and Character Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, showing how his humble
origin, his struggle for education, the
purity of his motives and the greatness
Of his soul, and final martyrdom had
made him the truest exemplar of Amer
ican manhood.
Others who participated In the ex-
ercises were Rev. J.. g. McEntire, who
made the invocation, Hammond J. Pos
tlethwaite, who delivered Lincoln's
Birthday Address, DR.. A. J.Meek, who
gave short historical sketch Of Lin
coin, and DR.. ]. w. Foust, who recount
cd personal "reminiscences o! the War

new MINING TOWN TO BE
BUILT NEAR SYKESVILLE
Erie Railroad Company viii
Sink a 4OO-Foot Shaft
To Lower Vein.
SURVEY IS NOW BEING MADE

Representatives OF the Erie Railroad
company have been In this section the
past week looking oyer the company's
coal lands between Sykesville and Big
Run. 1t is the intention to sink anoth-
er mining shaft near Cramer and In so
doing will lay the industrial foundation
for another prosperous mining village.
The Dubois Express, commenting on
the prospect, says:
Surveyors for the Northwestern Min
ing & Exchange company, the name
under which the Erie's bituminous op-
erations are carried on, have been at
work this week running lines at Cram
er for switch leading from the B., Il.
& p, tracks and also stalking out lines
for the structures that are necessary
for deep mining operation, such as
the tipple, boiler house, etc. At that
point the Erie company controls an i'm
mense body Of the finest kind of steam
coal, the mining Of which will furnish
employment to several hundred men
for generation. 1t is unofficially stated
that to reach the measure at the point
selected for the operation will require
shaft 400 feet deep. This will be the
lowest working in this immediate field.
Whether the actual sinking OF the
hole is to be begun at once on the COM
pletion Of the survey cannot be said.
1t seems reasonable, however, to sup
pose that now, with the Eriton propo-
sition brought almost up to its maxi
mum capacity, the company will be In
shape to go right along with the devel-
opment OF the new field.
The operation means tho building Of
new town between Sykesville and Big
Run. The location is on the line OF the
trolley system.
