The Jeffersonian-Democrat from Brookville, Pennsylvania • 8

Jeffersonian Democrat. UNEDULURATEAU, DuBois, Falls Creek and Brockwayville Without Gas for Twenty-four Hours. The people of Brockwayville, Falls Creek and DuBois had a cold experience from 1 o'clock last Saturday afternoon until about the same hour on Sunday. Monday's DuBois Courier described the incident as follows: "For over 24 hours thousands of people in DuBois, Brockwayville and Falls Creek shivered iu their homes, aud in many instances dined on cold food, with perhaps some tea or coffee heated over an oil lamp or an improvised stove. All the trouble was caused by a big hemlock tree which had blown across the main supply line of the Oil City Fuel Supply company about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, without a seo-onn's warning, cutting off the fuel supply and light from hundreds of business places, residences and factories.

"The break occurred in an out of the way place, where it was hard to locate, and harder yet to reach with material, so that it was not until Sunday that the damage was repaired and gas once more flowing through the maui3. The break happened in a patch of woods ou the farm of John Shaw, one mile from Sugar Hill and five miles west of Brockwayville. Residents near by scented the trouble and notified G. W. Nelson, the gas company's representative at Brockwayville, who at once notified Supt.

Mulock at this place." The Courier goes on to tell something of the results of being without gas in DuBois. Our readerscan imagine this part. Services had to be omitted in nearly all the churches and many families sought food and comfort in the hotels. Several industries had to shut down. This should be a warning to every family burning gas, to be prepared with coal and kindling for just such an emergency.

A Trip to the Moon which is to be given in the Belvedere opera house Friday and Saturday, March 13-14, for the benefit of the Village Improvement sooiety, will be the grandest and most elab orate production ever attempted here. In its beautiful costumes, surprising electrical and stage effects, it will surpass anything ever attempted here before. Mr. Hoffman, of New York, who is iu charge of the production, is more than pleased with the results thus far attained. There are 300 people in the cast aud he says Brookville people can feel proud of their talent.

The music is the most catchy ever heard here. The operatta has a very funny and unique plot, the scene of which is thrown around the North Pole. One of our popular young men as au astronomer and inventor succeeds in reaching the moon in a flying machine, from where he discovers the North Pole after dropping from the moon in a parachute to the Pole. When he arrives he discovers the North Pole inhabited by Brookville immortals. He also discovers through his wonderful telescope the arrival of a strange race of people, who inhabit the moon.

The fanny situations that ocour throughout the performance are very interesting, and no one who cares for inspiring music and fnuny situations and a story pure in tone can afford to miss it.

MooRE. She Goes to Mexico. Miss Laura Temple, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I.

M. Temple, of WarBaw, has been appointed prinoipal of the School "Hijas de Juarez" in the city of Mexico, a school for the higher education of Mexican girls, founded in 1873. Before going to Mexico she will spend a short time with her parents. The following is copied from a reoent issue of the New York Observer: At a recent meeting of the New York branch of the AVoman's Foreign Missionary Sooiety of the Methodist Episcopal church, Miss Laura Temple, of this was appointed, to go as teacher to the oiry of Mexico. Perhaps no other person in the city has come in contact with a larger number of the people during the past six years than has Miss Temple, owing to the interdenominational character of the work.

She has touched every grade of life from Castle Point, where she was generously assisted in her work by Mrs. Martha B. Stevens down to that of the poorest hovel on the meadows. Miss Temple is well known throughout many of the surrounding cities. Her good work has spread in I'atterson, Jersey City, Newark, West Hoboken and Union Hill.

She was to people in distress all the name "Sister of the people" implies. No worthy person was ever denied assistance from her. She has taken a most kindly interest in all destitute families which came under her notice and aided in giving them immediate relief. Miss Temple's home is at Hazen, where her parents reside. She is a graduate of the State Normal School of Edin-boro.

and of Allegheny oollege, Mead-ville. Pa. From the latter institution she has received the degree of master of arts. She goes to the city of Mexico to take charge of a school which was founded in 1873 by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. The school site is the place where Montezuma's palace stood.

The school is one of high grade, and prepares young women for teachers. The enrollment is over 300 pupils. There are ten teachers in the school, all natives of the city of Mexico except 2. Miss Temple will leave for her new field of labor March 26tb, before which time she will be given a farewell reception in the First Methodist church. Brookville Title and Trust Company.

Ten percent of it has been called for, to defray the neccessary expense of organization aud fitting up of a banking house, and procuring the necessary" books, for business.

Craig and John E. Calderwood. The addresses were all genial, witty, and entertaining.

Good will and good cheer were the order of the evening, and the banquet was pronounced a great success by all who were present.

National Banks in Jefferson County. There are eight national banks in Jefferson county. Two in Brookville, three in Punxsutawney, one in Big Run, one in Reynoldsville and one in Brockwayville. From the reports made by these banks to the controller of tho currency, iu February of this year, we take the following figures. We do not include all the items in these reports, but oonfine ourselves to a statement of the capital stock of eaoh bauk, its deposits, its loans and discounts, and its total assets: Jeffersou County National Bunk, capital stock deposits loans and discounts total assets $914,994.56.

National Bank of Brookville, capital stock deposits $469,156.49, loans and disconnts total assets $654,315.94.

Aggregate of the whole eight banks: capital stock deposits loans and discounts total assets $4,529,560.96. These figures are quite interesting, and are worth looking over carefully. We wish we bad the bank figures of the county of fifty year ago to compare them with.

Teitrick, Co. Snpt Hon. George A. Jenks' Hog Case. The first court trial ever conducted by Hon.

George A. Jenks was in 1859, Anna Beats vs. John States. This case was brought by Mrs. Beats to recover damages which she alleged she had suffered at the bands of the said John States.

Her charge was that her hogs, having gotten into Mr. States' potato patch, she was attempting to drive them out, when Mr. States, mistaking her motive, laid violent hands upon her and ejected her from the said potato patch. Mr. Jenks, then newly admitted to the bar, undertook the defense of Mr.

States. He worked up the case with infinite pains and cleared his client. Mr. Jenks always thereafter referred to this trial as "My Hog Case." Professionally his career began with the trial of his "Hog Case," and other events were dated from that time. Last Monday, while looking over some old papers, George D.

Jenks, of this place, fonnd the records of the celebrated hog case, written in the Hon. George A. Jenks' own hand, aud thinking they would be of interest, mailed them to him. Punxsutawney Spirit. Naming Country Roads.

An exchange suggests that country roads be named just as city streets and avenues are. If every main road and every cross roads had its official title, it would be as easy to address a farmer as a city resident. There are specific advantages in such a plan in these days when the mails are so universally used. The roads might be very fittingly called after prominent citizens of the present or past generations. Sigel Academy.

The last business done by the old council was the passage of an ordinance granting to J. B.

A Deserved Compliment. D. L. Taylor, cashier of the Peoples National Bank will resign his position about April 1st, and will move his family to Brookville from which place he came to East Brady about two years ago.

The step taken by Mr. Taylor was not without regret, as his relations to the bank during his connection with it have been of the most pleasant character, but owing to pressure of outside business and other private reasons it was made necessary. While resigning the cashiership, Mr. Taylor will still retain au artive interest in the management of the bank and will remain one of its board of directors. Although they will move from East Brady, he will necessarily spend a good deal of his time here, looking after his coal and lumber interests iu this section.

We are sorry to see Mr. Taylor and his family leave East Brady. As cashier of the peoples Bank Mr. Taylor has proved a very accommodating and obliging official, aud has served the interest of the institution faithfully. Since his conneotion with this hank its business has grown wonderfully aud it is now one of the most subtsantial financial institutions in this section.

In his departure the bank will lose aud official whose place will be hard to fill. East Brady Review. J. E. Wood, Deceased.
