Jnly clearance Ml* at the Big Mn Mrs. Laura Gathers, of KmrickviJle. died Saturday morning after an illness covering several months. Mrt> Gathers maiden name was Kaierick, daughter of Mr and Mrs. Peter Emerick, and sister of the late Mrs. J.C.Ferris. In her consumption claimed another victim. A husband, Thompson Catherns, formerly of this plaoe, and four children mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. At this writing the place and time of interment are not known. Uncle Ed 8eeley believes in the old adage, "Stick to the farm." It is now seven weeks since his portly form has been seen on the streets of our thriving town. Of course this is the farmer's busy time, .but his many friends think he could quit work about 7 p. m. on Saturday and give them a chance to spin him a few while waiting an opportunity to get a hair eut on his faoe. If this should meet the eye of the gentleman aforesaid be will please take notice and be governed accordingly. in New Kensington for the past two months, returned home Sunday. The Blackwood slaters, six of them, rendered some excellent music in the Presbyterian church Saturday evening and Sunday. The Punxsutawney trainmen's bail team, /rho played the railroaders of this place on Saturday, done our boys by one score. The game being 19 to 80. The Mahoney family of New Kensington arrived in town 8anday, and will remain until we have properly celebrated tbe day we always celebrate. The work of cleaning oil the debris on tbe ground where the old rii office once stood has been commenced, and a tine brick: structure will soon loom heavenward, making the old corner look like a " 'ristocrat." Fred Zeitler, who has been absent three weeks selling the automatic spring washer in McKean county, returned heme Saturday and will remain until after the glorious 4th, which we are going to celebrate with a big C. The "Star" will not twinkle this week. Editor Htephenson is bent on celebrating and it is proper that he should. Mr. Elliott will not "Volunteer" to give us a paper and if the 8pirit fails to materialize, "where, oh where will we be ?" The situation among the striking miners remains unchanged. The company seems determined to hold out against the demands of the men and will probably do so for some time, thereby causing untold suffering in he ranks of tbe army of unemployed underground workmen. Unofficial returns from the precincts in and adjacent to Reynoldsville put Al H*wk ahead of the game for commissioner, with Bowman and Norrls close seconds. Very few people in this locality ktaew anything about the democratic primaries, which «c-counts for the meagrendss of the returns. A party of Christian Endeavorers, consisting of the following persons, are attending a convention at Detroit, Michigan, this week: Misses Belle Arnold, Iuez Brown, Ella Seeley and Georgia Corbett, and Messrs. Tom Adams, Frank Alexander, Rev. W. F. Reber and Harold Arnold. They will visit ButTalo and Niagara Falls before returning. The Ladies Village Improvement association have labored hard since their organization and deserve better treatment than they we receiving. The barrels of galvanized iron which they have had placed in different localities on Main street for receiving scraps of paper and other commodities, are not only not used for their legitimate purpose, but some depraved wretch converted one of them into an outhouse If there is no place of future punishment there should be one established for such brutes, for they are certainly not human. In this age of civilization one would not expect such vandalism, particularly in our well-behaved little town, but ao it ia. The citizens generally are doing what they can to encourage the ladies in their work, but a few are content to stand aloof and not patronize them even to the buying of a ticket to their last entertain - ment. There is quite an intlux of colored people in town, at isast four of that persuasion haying arrived within the borough limits during the past week. The latest arrival ia a gentleman by the name of Michael Conklin, whose plaoe of residence is Lancaster, He arrived on the late C. .t M. train Saturday and half an hour from the time he landed waa installed as porter at the Imperial hotel. When the first train was due on the Valley road he made his initial trip to the atation to perform the duties of hia oIHoe. He had no sooner set foot upo n the platform when he waa accosted by Ed Blackweil, porter at Hotel Belnap and after a few salutations of a not particularly friendly sort, they ooilided. Ed is considerable of a scrapper, bat he had met "a foeman worthy of his steel" in the colored gentleman from Lancaster. However, the battle waa of short duration, a* railroad poiloeman McKeraon came upon the scene and arrested 'he warriors. They were taken before his Honor, Burgesa Mo- Entire, who lined them five dollars each. Blackweil sheiied out at once, bat Coaklln was shy the V.
