He had been drinking more than was good for him, however. It was between four aud five o'clock when he went to the home of Mrs. Sarah Kcn j nedy at No. 157 Corydon street and in vited the lady to accompany him ou a buggy ride. Mrs. Kennedy had reared McCalmont aud had always shown the utmost solicitude for him. He, in turn, regarded her with great affection. Mrs. Kennedy saw that McCalmont had been i drinking and asked to be excused from I taking the ride. He then asked for J some money which Mrs. Kennedy was I keeping for him. The lady said she | would prefer not to give it to him on i account of his condition, fie said no | more, but walked deliberately into the , room which he occupied in the cottage | and shot himself in the head, the ball I entering at the right temple. He fell i back on a bed without a word and : instantly expired.—Exchange. deduced Rates to the Sea Shore.

Adams Kxprcss Company supplied I many of our citizens with revenue j stamps. Our people appreciate the kind- j ness if this reliable company. Policeman and Street Commissioner I'. I{. Beattie has resumed his duties, after an illness of several weeks. Mr. Beattie tells us he feels better than he has for years. A heavy frost visited this section last Monday morning, so reports weather prognosticates County Treasurer W. L. Thomas. The thermometer dropped down to lil°. Mayor Howard has wisely notified Po liceman Beattie to arrest all persons caught riding bicycles on the sidewalks of this borough. The citizens of Emporium borough will very generally approve this action. Wheelmen have recklessly abused the courtesy extended them and the only wonder is that a heavy bill of damages for injuries has not fallen upon the mu nicipality. Enforce the law to the letter. The Fourth. The celebration at Emporium attracted a very large crowd of people from surround ing country, and the day passed away pleasantly. The very high wind delayed the balloon ascension until late, and then the effort of Prof. Gary was a flat failure, his air ship only rising 100 feet, when it | struck a cold wave and dropped like a I shot. The professor, in order to save liim i self from injury, cut loose in his parachute ! just as he was striking the roof of a dwell- I ing. The fantastic parade, as usual, was the greatest attraction. While it may have contained some objectionable feat ures. in the whole it was the best ever witnessed in Emporium. Judge Brennan says: "Wow! wow! To much goll darn foolin," and must, as a result, pay for the | shirt. Another Waterloo. " We have met the enemy and we are theirs." For the second time this season we are called upon to chronicle the defeat of the Emporium base-ball team. A large j crowd of enthusiasts had gathered at Ath- I letie I'aik yesterday afternoon to witness ! the game between the St. Marys Elk ! League team and the home nine, and up , to the sixth inning had the pleasure of I seeing both teams play good fast ball, as | our boys succeeded in holding the visitors j down to three runs, but after that several | costly errors on the part of our team al ! lowed St. Marys to promenade around the | diamond for nine more runs, while EUJ i porium was able to bring in but one, and j that was due to the fine work of George, | in stealing bases. At the end of the ninth I inning the score stood 1-—1 in favor of j St. Marys. Of Interest to Bicyclists. Some of the rights and duties of j bicyclists were clearly outlined in the case of Roland vs Wanamaker ct aln. which was recently tried in the courts of Philadelphia county. The plaintiff in this case claimed damages because of injuries sustained by colliding with a team and wagon belonging to the defendants, while rounding a turn at the bottom of a hill. Plaintiff alleged that defendants were not on the right side of the road, and that they, the defendants, should have turned to the right, at least half the width of the road. The testimony of the nearest witness of the accident showed that the defendants' wagon was more on the right side of the road, in the way it was going, than on the left, and the fact that the plaintiff fell on the right side of the wagon, and that his companion also rode by 011 the same side, tends to show that the wagon was not on the left side of the road at the time of the accident. The injury to the plaintiff, a lacerated wound across the top of the head, showed that his face was turned down and that he was not looking up and ahead. Corroboration of this is given by the defendant himself, when he said he just had a glimpse of the horses and did not know anything after that. He heedlessly ran into the pole of the | wagon. The conclusion is irresistible, ( either that he was not looking ahead as he should have been doing, or that his vehicle was under such an impetus that he could not turn out, in which case the misfortune was his, just as it would have been had he been riding a vicious horse, and it is not attributable 1 to the defendants. The rule for a new trial was dis charged. The following sections of the Act of April 23, 1889, were cited during the trial of the above case: "The driver ofa light vehicle cannot compel a teamster or driver who has a heavy load, or a light wagon or car riage with a heavy draft to turn out if there is sufficient room for the rider or j driver of the light vehicle to pass— whether to the right or to the left." This rule applies to bicycles, and, if the rider of a bicycle, by disregarding the rule is injured, he is guilty of con tributory negligence and cannot re cover. Fulton & Pearsall.

It is not my desire to criticise a sermon, but I think our minister was considerably off his base, one night recently, when he came to this place and bombarded the correspondent of the PRESS for an article that was written last winter, and was not in tended for him. Evidently it was written before he came to this charge, but the shoe fit the dear brother (?) and he put it on. The bombardment did no good and not much injury, as it was alltaken into consideration." The brother probably was informed and encouraged to do so, yet we don't think much of a minister who will take his texts from a country news paper. DING. West Creek Epidemic. Mrs. Wm.
