A llnik will be built from a point opposite, Mahoning, on the Allegheny river, 20 mties north of Ktttanning, to Brady's Bend, where connection will be made with the Western Allegheny railroad. The Western Allegheny will be used to Queen's Junction, 12 miles north ot here, and then the Bessemer will be used into Butler. Uqder an agreement with the Baltimore and Ohio, train® will be operated In Pittsburg over that line from Butler, It Is said, under the same conditions as the Besemer enjoys. This plan will enaible the Shawmut to gain an entrance into the Pittsburg district as soon as the Bectlon of the road from Brookvllle, Jefferson county, to Mahoning, the ,big .bridge across the Allegheny river and link to Brady's Bend are completed, which will probably be within a year." now without electric power and the newspapers and manufacturing plant* and stores are without power or light.

A suggestion from one member of council which seemed to strike th" others favorably was to the effect that a codicil be added to the present dog ordinance empowering tfie chief of police and the street eom'mlsioner to shoot all dogs found running at large.!

Secretary of the company, J. L. Fisher, Esq., has. been advised that the expert started for PunxsuUiwncy last night from Lynn, Mass., and wouid probably arrive here today. The plant will be started under the supervision of the company expert for the reason that should anything: go wrong the liability will lie with the company.. whereas if the plant w.*re started without his being present th»- local company would have no redress. Two days ago an additional reward of $25,000 was offered by thie County Board of Supervisors for the capture of the trio. According; to the detectives, Brycc, Schmidt and Kaplan were the three whc purchased In San Francisco the dynamittv later used to destroy the Times. More dynamite was found In a bomb plant!"d under the residence of Felix J. Zechandlaar, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association, which had opposed the extension of labor unions in the city. Among the labor leaders summoned from San Francisco were Olaf E. Tveitmoe and Anton Johanssen, who were supposed to have been acquainted with J. B. Bryce, M. A. Schmidt and David Kaplan, three suspects in the case, who were in this city for a few hours alter the explosion but s u bseq uen tly d i sa p pea red. More than 40 witnesses, the majority of them identified with the union labor movement, were summoned from San Francisco and other cities, and many labor union officials were f| ard. In all the Grand Jury examined more than 200 persons. One of these, supported by the findings of an Investigating committee appointed by Mayor Alexander, was that the Times plant had been blown up by dynamite through a conspiracy. The other, presented by a 'committee named by the State Building Trades Convention, then In session here, was that a gas explosion had caused the wneck. Union labor, which the Times and its proprietors had opposed, was injected into the situation, and when the specal Grand Jury was impaneled on October 25 It was confronted with the two conflicting theories. Wholesale murder, the outcome of a dynamite plot, is understood to be the charge set forth in all the indictments. The return of the Indictments \va« the sequel to a disaster that excited the people of Los Angeles to u degree that for a few days bordered upon panic and resulted in the offering of rewards aggregating almost |100,- 000. LOS ANGELES. Cal., Jan. 6.—The Grand Jury in the Los Angeles Times explosion case returned 22 Indictments lafto yesterday. It Is not likely that the names of any of the indicted will be -made pubic until after arrests have been made, but it is believed that a number of San Franciscans are among those accused. DENIES RAH; ROAD MERGE!? A man who Is well posted in railroad «iffairs of this section gave as his reason for belief that the Pennsy contemplated such a move as outlined above the fact that a shorter route . from thio Clearfield region to the 'West desirable. Between Philadelphia and Grampian are located a score of lire brick works. A laTge proportion of this product is destined for western points and such of tills as the Pennsy sMs must move by way of Tyrone, making a long and unnecessary double haul. Curwensviile, for instance, originates on an average of ."0 cars of freight daily, principally westbound, which on account of superior facilities goes mostly to the B.. It. & P. and ranks as a traffic; producing center next to Buffalo, Rochester, Pittsburg and New Castle. By constructing the 14 miles of 1 in*' ovw the hills the Pennsy would l> in shape to compete for this traffic and also gain a short line from the Clearfield coal region to the lakes as well as improving the passenger service from ibis section to eastern points. That rumor of the Intention of the Pennsylvania railroad to -extend Its Tyrone and Clearfield branch across the mountains to DuBois will not down, says the DuBois Express. Recently or within the past month half a dozen parties of Pennsylvania officials have made trips on special trains t<» the terminus of the line at Grampian and their actions have convinced residents of the Penn township metropilis and Ourwensville* that something is in the air. tension Is 1 Yactically Awumtl. DuBois Express Believes That Ex- S. M. Rfp8enths.il W. J. Brown Cash A Mother Cash Previously E. n. Henderson acknowledged . ...$17.00 2.00 . 1.00 2.00 1.00 . r».flo 1.00 You give five, ton niaybe twenty dollars a year to support and educate some dark-skinned son of Africa, who is neither of your color nor country. What are you suing to give for the reclamation of a boy, white clear through, who hails from your own home town?? The Spirit Isn't conducting a charity for Judge Brown: it feels that, tli citizens of Punxsutawney should in al! justice help pay for the support of Riobert Wooldridge. The judge isn't asking it. He doesn't knovr it is happening and would probably call a halt If he did. but the fact remains that Punxsutawney is in debt to Judge Willis N. Brown and The Spirit is asking it to pay up. You have absolute knowledge of what Judge Brown is doing and what he has done. Tf you haven't, make it your business to see young Woo1-( d ridge. You read every day of philanthropists who have further added to tbeiv glory by the gift of ten or twenty million dollars to a college that can't spend the Interest on what they already have. But it isn't often you reaed about an individual whose Income is scarcely more than your own, taking .six criminally inclined youngsters, total strangers to him, into his own homo, clothing, feeding and sending them to school. He's net only giving all his wealth, which Is inconsiderable, but his life, to thos. kids. That's not the kind of philanthropy you read much about, bat It'.4' the kind that counts. To date no one has been able to give him any definite information. There is now a sufficient sum in ha'ad to enable "Bob" to make the trip to Charlevoix, but The Spirit feels that the townspeople owe something to1 Judge Brown, not only for work he Is doing for mankind, but for that, which he has done for a Punxsutawney boy. Contributions to the Wooldridgc fund continue to dribble in ind the total Is slowly rising to what migr.it bp termed a respectable amount. "Bob," that's young Wooldridge, you know. Judge Brown's kid. whom The Spirit and others are anxioua to havej returned to Charlexoix, Mich., and Judge Brown, because it is believed j that his salvation as a man Hps there,] is on the anxious seat. He's dead crazy to get bark with the judge and the rest of the kids, and is continually wanting to know when he is going to Rtart. Story Omitted Because of the Pressure of Advertising Two Hradford young men, wishing to get to Oklahoma at the least possible cost, secured an old worn out horse at 110 cost, to themselves, rigged it out like a blooded racing animal, and made arrangements for its transporlaion to the south. An Krk; box car was fitted up with all the paraphernalia. necessary for the transportation of such a "valuable" animal, an oil stove, special stall, feed, etc.. and one of the boys went along as ntendant while the other hid in th stall. The horse was billed to a certain man in Tulsa, Okla., and the car arrived In that city safely, the boyf immediately vacating, leaving the blooded trotter an a recomipensa to the railroads company. The man to whom the horse was billed was located, but he disclaimed all knowledgtof the affair, said he wouldn't take the old "plug" as a gift, and positively refused to pay any bills. Elkins Dead, Daughter May Wed the Duke Abruzzi Talk of reorganization was freely circulated right after the road was taken over by Mr. Miller, but as be points out all that could be done at that time was to go ahead and place the rolling stock of the .system into shome shape for the handling of traffic, as the motive power was about all Jn.' The motive power is now said to be in excellent shape, capable of taking care of the traffic. The declaration is made that 111«• road is now on a paying basis. From time to time various rumors have been published to the effect that the Buffalo & Susquehanna railroad has either been sold of was about to pass into the hands of other people. None of these transfers has yet materialized, and according to an interview given out recently by Receiver Miller, it is no4 likely that any sale will be made. In fact a plan of reorganization is being considered and it is likely that it will be carried out in the spring. ■d the pulpit and delivertermon on "Repentance.* [* 3e#> will be held in the urch when Rev.

Editor of the Spirit: Total $29.00 From DuBois comes the following, fairly bubbling over with the true Christian Spirit: Owing to the fact that the car load of paper ordered some time ago by The Spirit has not yet arrived it is necessary to print six-page editions, when the unusual pressure of advertising calls for eight pages. For a day of two at least there will be no installments of the serial story "Alias Jimmy Valentine." By Monday, it is hoped that 'conditions will again permit of the printing of the story and generous installments will be given from that time forward. (From a boy's best friend. A MOTHER.

SITMNKR MEMORIAL idge Time to Prepare llc|M»rt. ""WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. ti.— The adjournment of the Senate until Monday on account of the death of Senator Elkins made material changes in the plans of those opposed to Senator Lorimer being permitted to retain his seat. It was expected that Senator Owen would introduce a resolution to declare the (election of Mr. Lorimer illegal. The adjournment until Monday, however, makes it possible for Senator Beveridge to complete a minority report, and it is now believed that he will submit such a report Monday. There is some question -whether Senator Owen or Senator Beveridge will Are the first gun in the fight against Mr. Lorimer. If Senator Beveridge Is ready Monday the general impression is that Mr. Owen will let him speak first. Mr. Owen is understood to desire to speak against Mr. Lorimer because the case seems to offer a good argument in support of the Owen resolution for a constitutional amendment to provide for the election of Senators by direct vote.
