THE INDIANA PROGRESS. VOLUME 91. INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17,1904. NUMBER 33 Are Invited to Visit Our Press Room and Convince Themselves That the Progress Has the Largest Circulations MAN DIED FROM INJURIES ANOTIIKR HURT MITING FISH AT NIGHT. Joseph Clrrotta, an Italian, Lost Eyesight and Both Hands by the Explosion of Dynamite at Fyook's Dam, Along Twollck Creek, liate Saturday Amputated Below the Elbows on Sunday.

Leaves Family In Italy. Joseph Cirrotta, an Italian, of town, gave his life for his attempt to violate the fish law on Saturday night. Cirrotta in company James Thompson his son, both of this place, went to Fyock's dam, along Twolick creek, for alleged purpose of dynamiting fish. The men had built a fire along the stream and were preparing to put off the dynamite when Cirrotta picked up a stick of the explosive, shoved it into the fire and held it there until it exploded. -Both hands were blown off above the'wrists, his eyes were blown out and his body cut and bruised in many places.

James Thompson, who was standing nearby, was struck by pieces of flying stone and gravel, which lacerated his limbs. He is not in a dangerous condition. Thompson's son, who is about 21, was not hurt and shortly after the explosion placed the body of the injured foreigner under a tree and did what he could to aid him. The heavy storm which occurred Saturday night broke while the men were at the creek and it was impossible to remove the injured men. A vehicle was secured later.

Cirrotta was brought to the county jail and Thompson to his home on the "pinnacle." Dr. John M. St. Clair was summoned and rendered medical aid to ease the man's sufferings until Sunday afternoon when Dr. St.

Clair, assisted by Drs. A. F. Purington and J. M.

Torrence, amputated both arms below the elbow. The physicians thought! that he could recover until yesterday afternoon when his condition became worse and death followed at 5 o'clock this morning. Cirrotta, who is about 30 years of age, was employed here. He leaves a wife and family in Italy. LARGER STATION ASSURED.

Efforts of Indiana People Prove Productive of A larger and better 'passenger station at Blairsville Intersection to replace the present building is practical- assured by officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. J. M. Guthrie, of Wayne avenue, was in Philadelphia last week and while there called upon tlie railroad officials and laid Indiana's claims for better accommodations at the Intersection be-. fore them.

Mr. Guthrie is much encouraged with the result of his interview and says that the railroad authorities were ignorant of the unsatisfactory conditions arising from lack of a suitable station. They assured him that the nmtter of furnishing better accommodations would be taken up. The contract for removing the present station to the new site had been let before Mr. Guthrie's talk with the officials but it is thought that tho work will bo stopped.

Officials of the West Penu railroad came to Indiana on Friday with the pay car and while here were met by Hon. John P. EJfkin, Dr. D. J.

Waller and others, who emphasized the need of a larger station at the Intersection to accommodate the Normal school students. Mr. Elkin is- in Philadelphia this week and while there will present I i a a's claims to the Pennsylvania officials. i ROMANCE ENDED IN AVEDDING. ATTENDING EVCAMPMENT.

Members of Muck-wheat Club f'rou All Parts of Stnte spent a li the Woods--St. Clalrs Rciiuod Creeksldo and the Grlfllths lit Ken- wood--UartlclmuKhs nncl Conuers fit HlllHdale--M oe In ITS of Othei Prominent Families. Tho soventh annual reunion and pic nic of the Smicksburg West Mahon ing Buckwheat Club was held in Cole man's park, near Smicksburg, in Wcsi Mahoning township, on Thursday.

This monster harvest-home picnic continues to attract crowds of pleasure seekers from all parts of northern Indiana county, as well as Jefferson ant Armstrong counties, and, like wine, the Buckwheat association seems to grov better with age. Tho gathering lasi week was pronounced tho most brilliant in tho history of this club, which is nothing more than a reunion of good hospitable and thrifty people from the four Mahonings who coino together once a year to renew acquaintances and to form new ones. The first meeting of the club was made up of only a score of young people but the social band has grown in leaps and bounds until tho annual meetings have come to bo tho largest and mosl enjoyable social gatherings held in this or adjoining counties. The attendance this year was fully as large as last season, when it was estimated that 8,000 to people were on tho grounds. Excursion, trains were run on the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg railroad from points in JolTersoi and Armstrong counties, as well as in this county.

Large delegations were there from Dubois, Reynoldsville, Falls Creek, Punxsutawney, Butler, Kittanning, Indiana and many other points The number that went by rail is estimated at 2,500. Tho great bulk of the picnickers drove and tho number of rigs on the grounds is said to have been 2,000 and this is considered a conservative estimate. The rain on the previous day and tho threatening weather that morning kept many timid ones from attending but it was an ideal picnic day, nature contributing her share to make the event a success. Music was furnished by the Rural Valley and Sniicksburg cornet bands and both were liberal with selections. Various attractions wore on the grounds for the entertainment of the Buckwheats but the great feature of the gathering was the meeting of friends and relatives for tho first time within a In tho afternoon a portion of the time was devoted to speeches.

Rev. Shile Miller, pastor of the Smicksburg Lutheran church, acted as chairman and, after an appropriate address, giving the object of the club, he introduced Rev. M. J. Sloppy, pastor of the M.

E. church at New Kensington, who made the leading address. Mr. Sloppy's address was full good things, which, if practiced, would bring every neighborhood up to a higher standard. Ho spoke at length of tho blessings of liberty in America and the great opportunities enjoyed by its citizens.

Rev. S. B. Laverty, of Homer City, followed with a brief address. The last speaker was Rev.

Trosslor, of Rural Valley, who spoke of the grea.t benefits to bo derived from the annual meetings of the club and incidentally told his audience how ho raised Good order prevailed throughout tho day and the fact that not a single arrest was made among the big gathering speaks well for the Buckwheats, as well as for the hundreds who were their guests. Nearly 100 of the descendants ol James St. Clair met in the grove above Greoksido on Wednesday to join in the sixth annual reunion of the St. Glair family. Tho usual sumptuous" dinner was enjoyed at noon and in tho afternoon speeches wore made by Rev.

Burns, of llomnr City; John M. St. Clair, of Punxsiitawnoy; Alex. McCnne, of Blacklick, and Rev. A.

B. Runyan. James St. Clair settled in this county in 1817. It was decided to hold tho next reunion in the grove at Richmond early in August.

John P. St. Clair, of Homer City, is president of tho organization. Descendants of Robert Conner and John Bartlebaugh, both aged residents of Montgomery township, hold a reunion at the farm of Mr. Connor on Saturday.

Dinner was served in the barn to nearly members of tho two families and their friends. James Btirtlobaugli, of Montgomery township, made an address in tho afternoon, in which he gave a brief history of tho two families. Both Robert Connor and John Bartlebaugh have lived in Montgomery township for (SO years and each man is the father of 11 children. A number of friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs.

Charles Griffith, of near Grisemoro, met at the Griffith home on Thursday and spent a pleasant day. Mrs, Griffith spread a sumptuous feast for her friends at noon. Among those from a distance who wore present wore Mrs, Fred Johns, married daughter and three children, of Gurfiold; Mrs. Sadie Hudson and son and Mrs, Ella Campbell and two children, of Verona; Mr. and Mrs.

Albert Jacoby and children, of Pine Flats, and Mrs. John Wruy, of Homer City. Tho annual reunion of the Spranklcs was held at the homo of William Hp rankle, near Trade City, on Wednesday. Tho gathering numbered about 200 and all enjoyed the day. At noon dinner was served in the orchard.

Tho following officers wore elected for tho ensuing year: President, Mrs. Clark Spranklc; vice president, Mrs. Harry Spranklo; recording secretary, Miss Maggie Spranklc; corresponding secretary, Miss Aunio Bpranklo; treasurer, Jacob Smith.

ftnllroail Line from Yatosboro to Kcl- lysbiirg Will Ho Itnlll, According to Report Which HUH (jalnod Wide Circulation In Northern Part of tho Company Controls Much Valiialilo Territory. A persistent rumor, which has gained wide circulation in tho northern part of tho county, Hays that the HuITalo, Rochester Pittsburg Railway Company is after tho coal holdings of tho Goodyears in South Muhoning township, this county, and Cowanshannock township, Armstrong county. Tho report also that should tho railway company acquire tho Goodyear tract a railroad lino will bo built from Yatesboro, Armstrong county, to Kollysburg to connect with tho Indiana branch for the purpose of developing the new territory. The Goodyear holdings consist of nearly 10,000 acres in South Mahoning township and Cowanshannock township. This tract is partially surrounded by territory of tho Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg company and if secured by the railway concern it could bo developed easily in conjunction with tho Yatosboro field of the railway company.

The route of the now railroad lino will probably be from Yatcsbdro to Willot and up tho Plum creek ravine and across to Kollysburg. It is said that S. M. Mcflcnry, of town, is securing options on a largo amount of coal territory in Washington township in tho interest of the Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburg company but the amount of this territory tho railway company will take is a 'matter of conjecture. Little coal has been bought in this county for a year past but tho decline of sales is not taken as an evidence that no more Indiana county territory will bo secured by those holding tracts.

It is accounted for by tho general decline in business throughout tho country customary in presidential election years. Indiana men who are familiar with tho operations of the Buffalo, Rochester, Pittsburg company when asked con- corning tho rumor regarding the Goodyear tract said that they had no knowledge of the proposed purchase. 1MCCENT DKATHS.

Grand Mally nt the County Seat with Itcd Fire, Music and Speeches Will Open tho Tactics to lie Used In the Smaller Places. County Will Poll Her Ulggest Vote to Honor Indiana Man, Who Heads Ticket. Indiana county Republicans arc to have an old-fashioned political campaign, with brass bands, red lire and speeches, this fall. There will bo grand rallies in the larger towns and schoolhouse meetings in the smaller places. The campaign formally opened.

by a grand mass meeting in Indiana shortly after the fair in September. Speakers of national repute will bo here and it is expected that delegations from every election precinct in tho county will come in. To this end special trains will be run on both railroads. It is designed to have this the biggest meeting- hold here in years. These things were determined upon at a meeting of tho county executive committee hold in the olllcc of County Chairman A.

L. Gilbert on Saturday night, at which tho following named members woro present: Hon. John P. Klkin, M. C.

Watsoji, J. N. Langham, D. C. Mack, lion.

S. M. Jack, H. W. Thomas, W.

S. Daiigherty, W. R. Calhoun, George L. ShafTor, A.

C. Rankin, Josiah Neal, Elder Peelor, J. A. Grossman, J. M.

Mar- Khali, Walter II. Jackson, John A. Scott and M. Thompson. It was recognized that by reason of the fact that thousands of voters had come into the county during the past two years, many of whom might bo somewhat unsettled in their political af- Illiations, a rousing campaign of tho old- fashioned sort ought to be very potent in winning their decision to cast their lot with tho Republican party in this county.

The other Indiana county has a candidate leading the state ticket, in the person of tho Hon. John P. Elkin, candidate for tho office of Justice of the Supremo given as a reason why every effort ought to bo made to have Indiana county give the largest Republican majority in her history this fall. It was decided that the detail work, which counts for so much in any political campaign, should be inaugurated at once and tliis will be done. The situation in general in this county was discussed, each of the men present giving his views on the conditions us they were presented to him.

There scorned to bo no scars left from tho (J many rigorous primary elections recent- ly held in the county. All old sores had healed up nicely, differences had been adjusted through compromise or other- wine and the party presented a solid and satisfied front for the first time in many years. In so marked a degree was this manifested at the meeting on Saturday night that political war horses who had often pulled ono against the other in tho past wore sitting side by unmindful of old differences and planning together for the future of tho party. It was a sort of Republican family reunion. DOWN AT CAMP SOKO.
