Emporium, Pa
Ladies:
The development of waste and bye-products in
this chemical laboratory has been a most suc
cessful field and I desire to call the attention of
any one who has such products to the fact that
the laboratory will undertake to find out if any
thing can be done with them, on the condition
that no charge shall be made unless the labora
tory shows how to make useful application of
such products. As illustrations I select the fol
lowing things that have been worked upon suc
cessfully in this laboratory, namely saw-dust,
bat-rounding, waste-liquor froiy pulp mills,
bleacheries and dye-houses. All samples sent to
the laboratory must come express prepaid and be
accompanied by a letter giving full details as to
their origin.
Another thing which the laboratory has been
most successful in is the shortening of processes;
the laboratory has been able to show how to do
in days what a mill had previously taken weeks
o accomplish.
Some of the references of the laboratory are
President Henry Morton, of Stevens' Institute of
Technology; Professor Charles P. Chandler, of
Columbia University; and Livingston Gilford,
Esq., of New York. Correspondence is respect
fully solicited. Yours very truly,
HARWOOD HUNTINWTON.

Stamp* for Marriage Licenses.
Several clergymen and others have
called at the office of Marriage License
Clerk Goodnough for proper instructions
relating to the affixing often cent stamps
on marriage certificates. Mr. Goodnough
informed bis inquirers that to the best of
his knowledge the stamps must be put
on the certificates either by the party of
ficiating or the interested parties, but
that the stamps must be cancelled and
dated by the clergyman. However, in
structions have been asked from Com
missioner of Internal Revenue and until
they are received from Washington no
positive information could be given.
A Good Exhibition.
The exhibitions given by the Sparks
Bros., on Monday afternoon and evening,
were two of the best ever seen in Kmpo
rium. The trapeze performance was
something phenominal, while the feats of
tumbling and juggling were marvels of
suppleness and dexterity. The troop of
J trained horses, goatsjand dogs, showed uu
; usual intelligence in performing their
j many tricks, and the iron nerve displayed
i by the lion tamer when teasing those
I ferocious beasts with raw meat, held the
spectators spell bound..
The balloon ascension and parachute
jump were accomplished with safety and
tended to draw a large audience as it was
a novelty in circus advertising.
It is a good clean show throughout
and the Sparks Bros., may be sure of a
j crowded canvas should they visit Em
-1 porium again.
Catholic Church Changes.
Bishop Mullin, of Erie, has made a
i number ol changes in this Diocese, viz:
| Father McAdam, of Emporium, goes to
; Johnsonburg; and (probably) Father
Downey, of Tideoutc, comes to Empori
| um; Father Cavanaugh, of Johnsonburg,
I goes to Clearfield; Father La very, of
| Driftwood, goes to Kane.
Father McAdam came to Emporium
several years ago, succeeding Father
Meagher, who went to Ridgway and now
goes to (>il City. The Emporium church
has flourished under Father McAdam's
direction and zealous labors in behalf of
his people has resulted in much good.
I Father McAdam has the respect and
i good wishes of our people, irrespective of
creed. Next Sunday will be Father
McAdam's last Sunday with our people
and we hope Emporium people will show
their respect by attending his church and
give him God speed iu his work. Father
Downey will come to Emporium next
week.
Another Suicide.
Thursday afternoon the people of
j Bradford were astounded to learn that
| Hon. G. B. McCalmont had committed
j suicide. 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.

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.

It is not my desire to criticise a

tended for him. Evidently it was
written before he came to this charge,
but the shoe fit the dear brother (?)
