Hot Water Heater
Exploded Monday.

Monday afternoon of this week the
editor of THE STAR had very narrow
escape from serious injury at least.
The dwelling we occupy is heated with
hot water, and after being absent i've
days, we filled the radiators with water
anu put fire in furnace. About one
hour and half after the fire had been
started. and the radiators we're hot, we
were in the cellar and had just turned
away from in front OF the furnace,
having only taken four or five steps,
when there was heavy explosion and
instantly the cellar was filed with
smoke and steam. When the smoke
cleared away we found that the top had
been blown of the furnace and one
front door blown off. Had the ex-
plosion taken place a quarter minute
sooner We editor would have received
the full force of hot water, pieces of
furnace, &c., full in the face. The furn-
ace was so badly wrecked that new
one will have to be put in.
The cause of the explosion Is a
mystery. 1t is the first case known
of in this section of hot water heating
furnace exploding.

The Pennsylvania
Wants Good Roads
Working IN Harmony With
Farmers for Improvement.

Following up its campaign In the
interests Of good roads In the states
through which it operates, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has arranged with D..
Ward King, the good roads expert, to
deliver lectures on methods for making
good roads. The series OF talks was
started at Lancaster, Pa, Dec. 9th,
and addresses will be given by Mr..
King at other points in the state in
the near future.
For the past few months the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has made study Of the
good roads movement and on November
18th its activities in this line were
started with meeting Of its agents
from the Williamsport and Susque-
hanna Division at Williamsport, Pa.
These employees OF the railroad were
addressed ny experts in the use OF the
King Split Log Drag, device which
farmers themselves make after patterns
furnished by d. Ward King. The
meeting at Williamsport was followed
by meeting of the General Managers
staff in Philadelphia on December 18th,
at which time there was discussion
on the methods for improving the roads
radiating from the company's stations.
The object of all this campaign is
to make the roads to the railroad
passable so that farmers can receive
and deliver freight during all kinds
OF weather.
There are approximately $4,000 miles
Of country road In the state OF Pennsyl-
vania, and OF the total only 1000 miles
are macadamized. In view of the fact
that it will cost approximately $4,000
per mile to macadamize these roads,
the solution OF the problem Of improv-
ing the country roads in the state Of
Pennsylvania, lies in the employment
OF less expensive means. 1t is to intro
duce such methods to the farmers
that the railroad company has under
taken its good roads campaign.

Oldest was about twelve years of age
and the youngest barely two. One Of
the unfortunate children was the
daughter OF Antonio Pracole, friend Of
the Bruno family who had spent the
evening with the Bruno children and
instead of going home, had decided to
spend the night there.
1t is doubtful II any of the children
suffered greatly, the indication being
that all were suffocated by the fumes
and heat without awakening. y
All that remained of the children
was put into one casket and buried in

The property loss to Mr.. Bruno will

Seven Children Burned to Death at Sykesve Monday Night
Hon. E. Heath Clark
Expired at BrookviIIe
Was Once Judge of Jefferson
And Clarion Counties.

Hon. K. Heath Clark, q former Judge
OF the Eighteenth judicial district, COM
prising Jefferson and Clarion counties,
died a. his home In Brook vile Friday
morning, December oath. His health
had not been good for some time but
final dissolution came very unexpected
ly.
Judge Clark was born In 1889, max
ing him about 70 years old at time Of
death. He studied law In the Office
OF George w. Zeigler, In Brookville,
along with W. p. and George A. jerks,
and was admitted to the bar In 1865.
The trio who had studied law together
In Zeigler's Office later formed law
partnership and all three rose to high
distinction In the state In their pro-
fession In 1891 Mr.. Clark formed a
new law partnership with George w.
Meaus, to which firm Mr.. Clarks old
est son. B. NJ, was afterwards admitted
under the firm name of Clark, Means &
Clark. In 1891 e. Heath Clark was
elected president Judge OF the counties
OF Jefferson and Clarion, the Eighteenth
district, on the Democratic ticket In
1895 this district was divided, Jefferson
county having gained the necessary
population to entit'e it to its own court.
Judge Clark remained on the bench
OF the Clarion district. At the close
OF his term he returned to Brookville
and has since been one of the county
seats most highly esteemed citizens.

When it comes, however, to adyanc-
ing claims to the institute, Punxsu-
tawney has everything that could be
asked for, and is undoubtedly better
situated and equipped to take care of
the big event than any other town in
the county
Punxsutawney has excellent railroad
facilities and is easily accessible. 1t
has more hotels and can accommodate
twice as big crowd as any town in the
county, and the quality of the hostelries
is not to be questioned.
There are twice as many school
teachers here as in any one borough
in the county, and, as for suitable
place to hold the convention, can Brook
vile, Brockwayville or Reynoldsville
offer such place as the Jefferson
Theatre?"
When Mr.. Fishers new theatre is
completed Reynoldsvile will have as
good theatre as Punxsutawney has. We
will not take back seat for accommo-
dating the county institute.

Lewis's Greeting
To Local Miners
The Reelected u. M. w. OF
A. Chief Speaks.

Thomas L. Lewis, recently reelected
president Of the United Mine Workers
Of America, has issued letter to the
local unions Of which the following Is
the substance:
ut Is we'll known to our member
that wage agreements expire on March
3lst, 1910, and new agreements should
take effect on April 1st. Every local
union should be equally interested In
preparing for any issue that may pre-
sent Itself when we meet In our inter-
national convention and later when we
meet the operators to negotiate wage
contracts. 1t is unnecessary for me TO
suggest that the ablest men In the
ranks OF the miners should be selected
as delegates to the annual and Joint
conventions. Men selected as dele
gates should have your confidence and
be able to represent you fearlessly and
"This is time Of the year when
gladness and sunshine should be- In
every home. We realize that there is
not that joy and happiness in the homes
OF many OF our members that shopld
exist, due to the uncertainty Of mining
conditions and the failure OF many OF
our members to secure that employ
ment necessary to bring comfort and
happiness to the homes Of those depend
eDt upon our fellow workers. Every
member OF the organization should do
what he can to encourage his fellow
worker and to say and do those things
that carry hope into the hearts Of our
people and JOY and happiness In the
homes OF the mine workers"

Brunos, who were reused only
by the heat of the burning walls
around them, and long before
that the fire had spread all through the
building Grasping an infant that
slept beside them, both father and
mother bravely mounted the stairs al

vain attempt to rescue their children
on the second floor. AT the top of the
stairs they found everything ablaze.
The beds on which the children slept
were wrapped in flames and no voice or

Even while they plunged through the
smoke from room TO room the burning

their retreat by means of the stairs cut

Patrick MCEnteer
Passed Away
Well Known Old Resident
Expired Suddenly Last
Saturday Morning.

Patrick McEnteer, one OF the best
known OF the older residents OF West
Reynoldsville. died very suddenly at
the home Of his son, Thomas G. Nc
Enteer, on the west side, about 600
o'clock Christmas morning, December
25, 1909. He had been very feeble for
several years and death was the result
OF the gradual decay Of old age. Sstur-
day morning as he was rising from his
bed he fell backwards and before others
In the home hearing the unusual noise
could hasten to him his spirit had fled.
The funeral was held at the Cathoic
church at 900 a. m. Monday morning,
Father P. ]. Lynch celebrating the
mass. Burial was made In the local
Catholic ecemetery. Henry Priester
was funeral director.
Six grandsons we're pail bearers.

ties, where he followed the life of
farmer. In 1859, following the gold
excitement along the Pacific coast, he
went to California to try his fortune,
but returned four years later to Erie,
In this state, where he stayed a short
time and then removed to Wilcox and
entered the employ OF the Pennsylvania
railroad company, and the balance OF
his active life was devoted to railroad
affairs. In 1871, when the Allegheny
Valley railroad was first surveyed
through this section, Mr.. McEnteer
came to ,ReynoIdsville and ever after
resided here. He became supervisor OF
the Low Grade Division and held it
until about 1885. He owned a comfort
able home in West Reynoldsvile and
lived there until the death of his wife
and departure OF children from home
after marriage left him alone. For the
past ten years he had lived with his
son, T. G. McEnteer. He had become
very weak and his eyesight had failed
In the last year or so Of his life.
At Erie, Pa, in 1S4S, Mr.. McEnteer
was married to Miss Ellen Tobin, who

The deceased man possessed a fine
character and was highly esteemed by
all. In the course of his long life he

in his dealings with his fellow men and
his generous disposition won for him
many friends.

COUNTRY CLEARLY AT FAULT
Provisions for Taking Care of Unfor-
tunate tuberculosis Victims Are
All Too Meager.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis states that there are in the United
States at least 100000 consumptives
who are so poor that they cannot pay
for proper medical treatment in tuber-
cluosis sanitoria and hospitals. Some
of them can pay small amounts a
week for their maintenance, but the
great majority of them cannot pay any
thing. For this large class of pa.
tents the entire country has provided
only 10000 beds for the free treatment
of tuberculosis. In Alabama, Arkan.
sas, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Mon.
tana, Nevada, North Dokota, Okla
homa, Oregon, Philippine islands,
South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West
Virginia and Wyoming there is no
place where the consumptive without
means can be treated but in the jails
or the insane asylums of these states,
and in most cases he will get no treat
ment there. Sixteen other states pro-
vide less than so beds each for poor
consumptives. In only two states,
Massachusetts and New York, have
beds for needy tuberculosis patients
been provided, so that at least one
in ten may find place for treatment.
In many of the other states not one
in fifty of the destitute consumptives
can find a bed in a hospital or sana-
torium.

Plans Homegoing of Irishmen in 1910

The plan is to induce the Irish people
from all over the United States to re-
turn to their native land during the
months of July, August and Septem-
Der. 1t is proposed that the various
Irish organizations, notably the A. O..
H., and the Gaelic league shall take
up the movement and carry it
through. Kilkenny does not claim
personal originality for the idea but
he gave it initial impetus and has ta-
ken upon himself the burden of inter
esting Irish societies in the plan.
More than sentimental purpose
animateS those who have undertaken
this ambitious task. While the pros
pect of visit to the old country, at
reduced transportation rates, and in
the glory of midsummer, will form a
leading incentive, the real purpose of
the movement is to stimulate Irisk
industry. Kilkenny has made several
visits to his old home in, Ireland and
each time has been impressed with
the industrial possibilities of the coun-
try and the apparent hopelessness Of
improving conditions without organ
lied effort. He takes the position that
the industrial and agricultural re-
sources of Ireland have not been de-
veloped to one-tenth of their capac-
ity. Capital is needed to develop
them and Kilkenny believes that it
will be forthcoming if the Irish people
in this country are given an opportun-
ity to see with their own eyes that
profitable investments can be made.
