Mr. Howard Informed.
Editor of the Press.
SIR:— In the last issue of the PRESS I
notice an article signed Josiah How
ard. In this article Mr Howard refers
to some outrageous cuttin's up on
Clear Creek, and appears to think our
churches and schools are in some way
responsible for this sad state of things.
Now it seems hardly fair to blame
the churches of our town for these
carryin's on, for you know we cannot
force our religion on any one, and
very likely these people have never
known their Savior.
As he evidently desires some advice
in the matter I would respectfully sug
gest to brother Howard that he tell his
troubles to a policeman.
Yours truly,
E. O. BARDWELL.
Emporium, Pa., May 21, 1808.
Shocked by Lightning.
During the heavy thunder storm
which took place Saturday afternoon,
lightning followed the telegraph wire
that connects the P. & E. depot at
Sterling Run, with the residence of
station agent, Thos. Moore, of that
place, giving Mrs. Moore, who
was standing near the instrument a
severe shock. She fell to the floor and
remained in an unconscious condition
from four o'clock 'till half-past eleven
that night. At present writing her
condition is not considered serious by
her physician, although she is confin
ed to her bed. Miss Brink the opera
tor at the depot also received a shock
in her right arm from the same bolt.
Wreck on the E. & R. V.
A disasterous wreck occurred on the
Emporium and Rich Valley railroad
last Friday afternoon in which the log
loader and seventeen cars loaded with
logs were thrown down an embank
ment. Several of the cars were demol
ished and the loader will be laid off
for about a week to undergo repairs.
Fortunately 110 lives were lost nor was
any one injured in the smash up.
In coming down a heavy grade the
engine lost control of the train, with
the above results.
Rev. nr. and Mrs. Nickel.
These sweet singers left us on Mon
day morning for Niekleville, Clarion
county, this state, Mr. Nickel's native
place. Their stay among us was Indeed
much enjoyed by all who met them,
even aside from their relatives whom
they came more especially to visit
Before coming Mr. Nickel wrote the
pastor of the Presbyterian church that
they were coming to visit their friends
and would be glad to be of service to
his church. Arrangements were at
once made for the "May Musical Festi
vals" which were so pleasant a feature
of their sojourn among Us. It was
thought desirable not to limit these
privileges to the Presbyterian church
and Sabbath school, and so all the
church choirs and singers generally
were cordially invited to join these
choruses, which they did. After a
week's drill under these skillful lead
ers and trainers in sweet sacred song,
the entertainments of Thursday and
Saturday evenings were given as an
nounced. The program as rendered
on each evening was a delightful one,
uplifting in its character. Mr. and
Mrs. Nickel also helped with all ex
cept two of the services of the Presby
terian church including the Sabbath
school exercises during the three
Sabbaths they spent in our town. On
two of these Sabbath evenings they
held evangelistic song services, to the
delight of large congregations. They
also led two of the week evening
services for the same church. Besides
these labors, they gave their efficient
help to other churches —last Sabbath
morning to our Episcopal friends and
in the evening leading a service at the
Methodist church. On one or two
othei; occasions, after the close of
services at the Presbyterian church,
they hastened to the Methodist church
at the pastor's invitation, and sang
some of their beautiful selections,
while yet their services continued. It
is needless to say that all these abund
ant services were deeply impres
sive, as well as entertaining and fully
appreciated by all who had the privil
ege of attending.
Mr. and Mrs. Nickel were associated
for three years with Mr. Moody in his
great work in Chicago. Feeling him
self called to the work of a song Evan
gelist exclusively, he recently resigned
his pastorate in Illinois, and will hence
forth devote himself to this noble
work, assisted so efficiently by his
amiable and excellent wife. And
surely Emporium will bid them God
speed.

MADRID, May 28.—A dispatch has
just been published giving details of
the arrival of Admiral Cervera's squad
ron at Santiago de Cuba. It says:
"At 8 o'clock on the morning of May
19, the Infanta Maria Teresa entered
the port of Santiago de Cuba Hying
the Hag of Admiral (Vrvera. She was
followed almost immediately by the
Vizcaya, the Almirante Oquendo, the
Cristobal Colon and the torpedo boat
destroyer Pluton. Soon afterwards the
torpedo boat destroyer Furor, which
had been reconnoitering, arrived. •
"The inhabitants swarmed to the
shore of the bay, displaying the utmost
Joy and enthusiasm. All the vessels in
the port were dressed in gala array. On
Sunday night there was an Imposing
demonstration in he nor of the officers
and crews. The bands of the city
played patriotic airs: there were bril
liant illuminations and the people pa
rad/ed the streets, singing patriotic
songs.
"Admiral Cervera and his officers
were given a banquet at the Casino,
where loyal toasts were honored, the
principal speeches being by Admiral
Cervera and Mgr. Saenz de Urturi y
Crespo, archbishop of Santiago de
Cuba, the latter of whom exclaimed,
'lt is not sufficient to be victorious on
the sea. The Spanish flag must float
on the Capitol.'
"The squadron has revictualled. Five
vessels were in front of the port yes
terday. It is believed that the Ameri
can vessel Eagle has been charged to
cut the cables."
The dispatch is not dated.

"There has been an active exchange
of dispatches between the government
and the authorities at Havana and
San Juan de Porto Rico on the subject
of sending coal and provisions to San
tiago de Cuba. It is alleged that Ad

report that Santiago de Cuba is cut
off from communication with the in
terior by strong bands of insurgents
and that, in consequence, coal and
provisions are getting scarce and
dear."

LONDON, May 26.—The Madrid cor
respondent of The Daily Mail says:
"Official telegrams from Cuba con
firm tMe report that Rear Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley, with
their combined squadrons, are now in
front of Santiago de Cuba, blockading
Admiral Cervera. Ministers consider
that Santiago possesses sufficient de
fenses to meet any aggressive action
the enemy may take.
"The position of the American squad
ron will cause the government .to lake
immediate action, though it is unknown
as yet what form this action will a;>-
Humors that a battle has al

MADRID. May 26.—A dispatch from
Havana says the American warships
are concentrating before Guantanamo
and other ports near Santiago de Cu

Obituary.
Mr. Wm. Filling died at his home at
Truman, Pa., last Friday evening, of
typhoid fever, aged twenty-eight years.
The deceased was an upright, indus
trious young man and was highly re
spected by all who knew him. He
leaves a wife and two children besides
a large circle of friends to mourn his
death. Interme it took place Sunday
afternoon at the Truman cemetery.
Mrs. Wm. Hunter, a sister-in-law of
Mr. Filling, who resided at Straight
Creek, Pa., was stricken with typhoid
fever while at Truman, a few weeks
ago, and succumbed to that dread dis
ease at her home at Straight Creek,
last Sunday. Her remains were
brought to Truman for burial, on Mon
day.
Mrs. Filling has our deepest sympa
thy in her terrible bereavement.

Typhoid Fever at Truman.
An epidemic of typhoid fever seems
to be raging at Truman. One death
has occurred during the past week and
six cases are reported.
They are all under the care of Dr.
Baker who reports five of the patients
to be cut of danger, but the sixth who
is suffering from blood poisoning and
who was just recovering from the
measles when he contracted the fever,
is in a very critical condition.
"Nothing Like It."
That is what a Buffalo gentleman
said after taking a look at the mam
moth stock of goods in N. Seger's
clothing house, comparing it with
towns he visits on his route. Without
a doubt Mr. Seger carries the largest
and most complete assortment of cloth
ing, furnishing goods, trunks and
satchels, etc., to be found in any
country town, much less in cities.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS!
We desire to call especial atten
tion to the fact that the PKKSS con
tains the latest war news, every
Thursday; it being within a few
hours of going to press and several
hours later than any daily papers
arriving iu town. We derive our
news through the medium of the
Associated Press and is absolutely
correct.
State Politics.
The Republican State Convention
meets at Harrisburg next Thursday, at
12:00 o'clock.

The Clinton Republicans endorsed
Judge Mayer for re-election, at their
primaries last Saturday.

Chas. W. Stone's strength in the
Republican State Convention will as

now-a-dayß figuring out the nomina
tion of other candidates.

The factional contest in Potter county
was ended last Thursday by the pri
maries electing the entire Quay ticket.
Now, let our neighbors give the entire
ticket a cordial support and cease
factional contests iu the future. It
does not pay.
Hon. C. W. Stone's chances for the
nomination for Governor were given a
good boost last week, having gained
eighteen delegates last Saturday alone.
With such counties as Lancaster, Wash
ington, Bedford joining hands with
the north-west, C. W. Stone will enter
the convention with a strong following
of stalwart Republicans, largely per
sonal friends of Senator Quay.
***
Among those who are of the opinion
that W. A. Stone will not be nominated
for Governor the impression seems to
be growing that C. W. Stone of War
ren, is most likely to be named. It is
argued that he has a number of dele
gates instructed for him and that he is
generally regarded as a Republican
who would command the support of
the bulk of the party. There are a
number, however, who seem to think
that Judge John Stewart, of Franklin,
may be named.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
The Republicans of Forest county in
county convention assembled, last
Tuesday nominated Ex-Representative
Dr. S. S. Towler for the legislature; S.
M. Henry for' Treasurer; A. W. Cook
for Congress; lion. N. P. Wheeler for
State delegate, instructed for Chas. W.
Stone for Governor. The nomination
of Dr. Towler for the legislature is
simple justice to an honorable gentle
man, who conscientiously and zealously
represented Forest county in the ses
sion of'9l. Ilis conceded ability as a
legislator should give him the unanim
ous vote of Forest. Dr. Towler will
creditably fill theehair so ably occupied
by Hon. J. E. Wenk during the past
two terms.
In nemorium.
MRS. FLORENCE L. STRAWBRIDGE,
wife of George Strawbridge, of Sterl
ing Run, Pa., died at Johnsonburg,
Pa., aged 3-5 years, one month and two
days. She went to Johnsonburg, Jan.
6th, 1898, on a visit to the family of
Mr. Jas. Strawbridge and took
seriously ill Jan. 16th and, although
everything was done for her that
medical skill and loving hands could
do to arrest the disease, she passed
peacefully and triumphantly away May
18th.
When about 20 years of age she gave
her heart to God and her name to the
M. E. Church,of which she remained a
member until the close of her beauti
ful and useful life.
She was married to George Straw
bridge, Oct. 26th, 1887. To this happy
marriage was born two interesting
little girls now left to continue their
course in life without the love and
counsel of a mother.
Those who witnessed the patience
and christian fortitude which she
evinced in the closing hours of her life
were wonderfully impressed. But her's
was an amiable and sweet christian
life, and its close could not be other
wise. She was universally loved by
those who knew her and doubtless did
not have an enemy,
Impressive funeral services were
held in the M. E. Church at Sterling
Run, May 21st, by her pastor, Rev. M.
C. Piper, of Sinnemahoning, assisted
by Rev. Jelbert, of Johnsonburg, and
Rev. S. Ebersole, of Sterling Run, and
attended by an unusually large con
course of people, showing the high
esteem in which she was held by the
community.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
beautiful cemetery at Sterling Run, to
await the resurrection of thejust when
we hope to meet her again never to
know a separation.
