manipulation is destined to be used
in almost every branch of concrete
work. There are unlimited possi-
bilities for expansion in the future,
through the rapid increase of con-
crete construction and its use in ways
never dreamed of few years ago.
1t is healthy sign of the solidity
of this company that there does not
seem to be man In its employ from
the highest officials down to the err
rand boys around the shops who is
not enthusiastic over the outlook and
absolutely confident that in securing
it, Reynoldsville gained one Of the
most promising industrial plants in
the United States. 1t is noticeable,
too, that from the commencement Of
operations the best of feeling has
reigned between the management and
the men employed. The company
has found that all representations
made to 1t before 1t purchased the
plant we're founded on fact. and has
no reason to regret its decision to To-
cate here. And on the other hand,
the laborers have found the manage
ment at all times generous and con-
siderate Of their welfare, paying
fair wage and dealing literally with
them. ~s 2
For the success of the local plant
and the harmony that has reigned,
credit is due to the present general
manager, Howard B. Loxterman, and
to the superintendents who had
charge Of the work, at first Percy l..
Hursh and at present Charles Crates
All are gentlemen for whom the men
have high respect, and who stand
high in the esteem of the local people.

SILK MILL WILL Be
SOLD BY THE SHERIFF
FRIDAY, january s.
Property of the American Silk
Company of New Jersey
Under Hammer.

The silk min at Reynoldsville, the sole
property Of the American Silk Company
Of New Jersey, will be sold by Sheriff
Galbraith Friday morning, January 9Th,
at the court house in Brookville. The sale
was advertised by the sheriff last week.
This is the last act in the existence Of
the original company formed to build this
mill eleven years ago. When the control
ling interest in this company was purchased
by the American Silk Company Of New
York three years ago, most of the Reyn-
oldsville stockholders in the original COM
pany transferred their holdings into the
new combination, though six or seven
refrained from doing so. Those who have
transferred their stock will lose nothing
In this sale, since the new certificates
issued entitle them to share in the general
profits from all the mills Of the company,
and 1t is extremely improbable that the
Reynoldsville mill will pass out Of the
hands Of the American Silk Company Of
New York, at present.
A representative Of the company who
was In Reynoldsville recently stated that
It was the wish Of the company 10 olear
the title of the local mill from sll encum-
brances, such rs guaranteed dividends on
the original stock, and that this sale was
o step in that direction. 1t is their in
tention, as soon rs they can get the title
i'm shape, to sell the local mill to some other
company and 50, for the people Of Reyn-
oldsville the sale may be a good thing in
that it will hasten the time when the mill

THRILLING RIDE
ON TROLLEY CAR
LAST sunday
Car Gets Beyond Control and
The Passengers Get a
Fast Ride.

A score of Reynoldsville and
Sgkesville people enjoyed the most
thrilling ride of their careers about
five o'clock Sunday afternoon, when
a trolley car on the Reynoldsville
and Sykesville line got beyond con-
troll and went bounding merrily along
for three-quarters Of mile until 1t
struck the sharp turn In the line at
Smiths hotel, in the borough, and
jumped the track to plough its way
across the street, through a high
board fence and on into field sew
eral hundred feet beyond, where the
wheels sunk In the ground and the
car stopped safely.
Motorman Irwin Haymaker was in
charge and had much difficulty pilot
ing the car all day, on account Of the
ice on rails and wire. Going up
the Soldier hill was difficult, and
shortly after passing the crest he no.
tfced that the brakes failed to work.
The grade becomes very steep there
after and down this the car plunged
at Its own will, rounding the curves
with jolly jolt that soon made the
passengers aware of their danger.
CONSERVATION reigned on board but
the speed was too great to jump. AZ
ter passing the park a slight grade
checked the momentum of the car
little and several of the gentlemen
on board sought safety by jumping.
None Of them were hurt.
Those who stayed with the car and
knew the right angled curve at
Smiths hotel held their breath In
terror. awaiting general smash.
But the car. when 1t struck the curve.
gave Q slight zig-zag lurch and sped
on across the street. ploughing its
way through ice and snow, ramming
into and crushing high board fence.
and finally came to stop in field
several hundred feet below the street.
II was a most exciting trip, but NO
one was really injured. Several of
the ladies on board were ON the verge
Of nervous prostration before the end
came, but forgot their fright in the
Joy of escaping what seemed ap-
preaching death for all.
1t is to the credit of Conductor
Thomas Mcdonald and Motorman Ir-
vim Haymaker that both stuck to
their places and did all in their power
to check the speed of the car and
allay the fright of the passengers.
The car was slightly damaged, but
was not put out of commission. AS
soon as 1t can be hauled back to its
place on the tracks and few repairs
made to the power plant, 1t will be
ready for service again.

The fifty-iifth annual session of the
Jefferson County Teachers Institute,
which convened in the Adelphi
Theatre at Reynoldsville Monday
afternoon, is in many respects the
most extraordinary in the records of
that event. The people of Reynoldsville
has long desired to have the institute
held here and when their wish was
granted they showed Interpretation
by throwing open the homes, club
rooms and resorts to the visiting
teachers.
The attendance is very large this
year, and the Adelphi was filled in
every quarter when the curtain rolled
up Monday at Las. The citizens of
the town are deeply interested in the
success Of the event and contributed
large portion OF the audience. The
The reception of the teachers during
the morning was in charge Of COM
mittee of six ladies representing the
Business Mems Association of Reyn-
oldsville: Mrs. G. r. Hall, Mrs. j. w.
Gillespie, Mrs. j. r. Milliren, Mrs. J.
d. Williams and Mrs. j. G. Williams,
From eight in the morning until the
opening Of the institute, a reception
was held in the Elk club rooms, which
had been opened for the free use OF
the teachers. Messenger boys had
been provided and every teacher was
sent to some place of entertainment
with little messenger.
At noon over three hundred and
fifty teachers had been registered by
Prof. Ross w. Clawges and all had
found places Of lodging at hotels or
private homes.
The institute was called to order at
Las, and opened with the singing Of
"Holy, Holy, Holy" led by Prof. ]. w.
Yoder, Of Juniata College. An in
vocation by Rev. J. F. Black, pastor Of
the Reynoldsville M. f. church

tendent, and the latter delivered IN
address that was eloquent in its

warmth Of the reception rendered tho
Prof. Jones then sounded
the keynote OF the institute in an
appeal for the introduction into the
schools OF branches which would do
more than merely fit few for pro-
lessions. He pointed out that while
Ten per cent remain to finish the high
'ohool courses, the ninety per cent
drop out because Of the lack Of that
which would fit them for the ordinary

Blaw Col1apsible Steel Center

priated $lO,O0O.OO for I'm
provements and Equipment.
MAKING CHANGES IN THE
INTERIOR ARRANGEMENT
The First Step in Plans which
Viii Make the Plant One of
the Largest in the State.

Ten thousand dollars will be ex-
pended in increasing the capacity of
tk., Blaw Collapsible Steel Centering
Company's plant in Reynoldsville
within the next few weeks.
This Is the generous Christmas gift
OF the owners of the steel plant" to
the town of Reynoldsville. After ten
months of continuous operation of the
plant as they bought 1t, they found
the present capacity Of the plant un-
equal to the demands of their busi-
ness and untitled to the rapid exc
cution of the orders which their con-
tracts demand. To remedy the first
defect, the management will install a
large quantity of new machinery; to
overcome the second, orders have
been issued for complete overhaul
ing and re-modeling of the plant
The work of re-arranging the ma
chinery commenced last Friday and is
now in full progress. To allow the
work to proceed without Interrupt
tion, fifty men were given holiday
vacation, all of whom will be back
after the frst of the year. When
they return, 1t will be to work in
practically new shops. Much of the
heavy machinery, including the
punches, now In the lower shop, will
| - moved to the upper shop, while its
place In the lower will be taken by
new apparatus especially built for the
werk.
A large addition is now being made
to the end of the upper shop, which
will permit the company to double
the boiler room and power plant.
Later on It is the intention of the
company to construct around the
buildings and over its acreage q pri-
vate industrial railroad which will
add greatly to the convenience Of
handling the heavy steel centers in
the yard.
The company has made public but
few of its plans regarding the local
plant, but It Is the general belief Of
those in closest touch with the head
ONCE that the present expenditure is
the first step in plans for the build
ing up of a plant in Reynoldsville
which will some day employ from two
to three times the present number of
laborers, and make it eventually one
of. the largest steel working plants
between Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
It is understood that the company
not only has large orders booked for
1911 delivery, but that the outlook
for the future promises phenomenal
growth. The company's position in
the Industrial world is peculiar in
that they have q virtual monopoly,
