Kane Republican.
Owing to our absence last week the
fact that the Emporium PRESS cele
brated its 34th anniversary with that
week's issue was not noticed. The
PRESS lines up with the best county
papers in this section of the State. In
politics it is Republican to the core; it
is ably conducted and its financial suc
cess is every way deserved. Long
may it live to disseminate true political
principles.
Ridgway Advocate.
The CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, pub
lished at Emporium by Hon. H. H
Mullin, celebrated its thirty-fourth
anniversary with last week's issue.
The PRESS is a very ably edited coun
try journal and a credit to the town of
Emporium and county of Cameron.
Its Republicanism never wavers or
wanders after false gods, but is always
true and loyal to the party's organiza
tion. We extend Bro. Mullin our
hearty congratulations and wish him
each year still greater prosperity.

Serious Accident.
About two o'clock Tuesday afternoon
one of the most serious and painful ac-
I cidents that ever occurred at the saw
mill of C. B. Howard & Co., happened
when N. J. Swartz, who is employed
about the gang saw, received injuries
that may prove fatal or result in maim
ing him for life.
While Mr. Swartz was in the act of
removing a piece of wood from be
tween the gang saws and was using a
long steel bar to accomplish this end,
the supposition is that the bar was
caught by some part of the gang when
on its downward stroke, giving the bar
a terrifllc jerk, throwing Mr Swartz in
the air and causing him to fall back
wards onto some oncovered gear. The
blow rendered Mr. Swartz unconscious
and when his fellow-work men hurried
to his aid they found blood spurting
from a ghastly cut on the side of his
head and his left eye terribly discovered
and swollen.
Mr. Swartz was hastily removed to
the home of his brother, Wm. Swartz,
on Maple street, where medical aid was
summoned and the extent of his in
juries was ascertained and his wounds
dressed by Dr. Bardwell, in the absence
of Dr. Heilman, the family physician.
Maccabee Banquet.
The ladies of Gladioli Hive, No. 32,
were given a banquet by the Sir Knights
of Goodwill Tent, No. 46, last Thursday
evening that will not soon be forgot
ten by those fortunate enough to be
present, as "Busy Bees" or husbands
and wives of such. It being the ladies'
regular review night, they repaired
to the hall, when, to their intense sur
prise they found it already occupied; a
committee of Sir Knights having
quietly gathered in the afternoon, ar
ranged the tables and them filled with
a feast "fit for the gods," and the Sir
Knights, attired in white aprons and
ties, ready to do the honors of the
evening. Great praise is due the com
mittee of arrangements, Sir Knights J.
P. McNarney, H. H. Mullin, C. L.
Butler, C. M. Thomas and Jno. Clare,
for the efficient manner in which every
detail was attended to.
The ladies having a candidate in
waiting who grew hungry at the sight
of the well filled tables, proceeded to
hold a short session to iniatiate her
into the mysteries of the order, after
which they became the guests of Good
Will Tent, and never were ladies' more
royally entertained by the Knights of
ye olden time. One hundred and fifty
were seated at the banquet tables, and
after having the menu and doing full
justice to it, spent the balance of the
evening in social chat and music, re
tiring to their homes about midnight,
declaring the Sir Knights the best of
entertainers, and that another link
had been added to the Maccabee chain
in Emporium.
Custom Tailoring.
John Lind, the well-known tailor,
has located in Emporium and establish
ed a custom tailoring store in Parson's
bazaar, one door west of Dodson's drug

lIUOWN.
William C. Brown, aged 47 years,
for many years a resident of this
county—residing in Rich Valley— j
died very suddenly at Quinton, Me- !
Kean county last week, Wednesday, j
with paralysis. He was in the employ
of A. W. Johnson as bookkeeper. His j
remains were brought to Emporium on j
Saturday and taken to the undertaking j
rooms of Geo. J. Laßar and prepared j
for burial. The funeral was held at j
Rich Valley church last Sunday, at 2 j
p. m.—Rev. Iledette officiating. A !
delegation of Emporium Odd Fellows ■
and Maccabees attended and acted as
pall bearers—deceased being a member
of Clermont Odd Fellows and Glen
Hazel Maccabees, holding an insurance
policy for §I.OOO in the latter.
William C. Brown was a generous,
kind hearted man and a very intelligent
and capable gentleman. He leaves
three children to mourn his death-
William T., Gilbert A., and Mabel C.—
all of whom reside in Rich Valley. The
bereaved children have many friends
who deeply sympathize with them in
their sad bereavement.
NORRIS.
The funeral of our former townsman,
JOHN NORMS, ( whose death we men
tioned last week) was held at this place
last Friday, from the Junction upon
the arrival of the 3:20 train from Kane
The corpse and bereaved widow and
children, were met at the dapot by
many old neighbors and friends, who
followed the remains to Newton Ceme
tery, where the casket was opened and
the last look taken by the sorrowing
relatives and friends Services were
held at the grave by Rev J. M. John
ston, pastor ot M. E. church.
Our old and greatly esteemed friend,
Hon. Luc ius Rogers, editor of Kane
Republican, speaking of Mr. Norris'
death in his bright and newsy daily says:
John Norris who died at his resi
dence on the West Side on Tuesday
morning, aged 60 years, was born in
Toronto, Canada, on the 12th day of
Nov. 1839, but his younger days were I
spent in an adjoining town. He was !
married to Miss Sarah Mac Donald on
Feb'y 20, 1863. In 1865 they came to
Emporium where they resided until
about three years ago, when deceased
moved his family to Kane and settled
on the West Hide. Mr. Norris was a
contractor and builder, which occupa
tion he has followed all his life until
incapacitated by illness. During the
past year he had suffered a great deal
and especially the past few weeks. Al
though of a quiet and somewhat retir
ing disposition, deceased had many
friends wherever he went by reason of
his sterling worth and integrity, al
ways ready to lend a helping hand
whenever occasion demanded. A wife
mid seven children are left: Mrs. E.
B. Moyo, of Minneapolis; Hector,
John, George, Jessie, Jennie and Fred.
All of the children are at home with
the exception of Mrs. Mayo. Deceased
was a member of the Odd Fellows and
one of the charter members of Empo
rium Lodge, No. 106 A. O. U. W.

House Burned.
Last Monday evening, about 8:30, the
j house occupied by Henry Goff, in Rich
J Valley was destroyed by fire, together
I with contents, entailing quite a loss to
j Mr. Goff, who was away from home, at
j work at Cross Forks, where he is con-
I ducting a lumber job. Mr. Goff had
jno insurance. The building wasowned
! by W. H. Howard who carried an in
j surance for loss. Mrs. Libbie Ilousler
: was taking care of the house and after
j seeing that all was apparently safe,
I went to her brother's, A. \V. Lewis, to
j stay over uight. She lost her clothing,
| conking utensils, etc. The cause of the
| fire is a mystery.
INGRAM.
JAMES W. INGRAM died at the family
j residence at Rochester, N. Y., last
Tuesday evening, aged 71 years. Mr.
; Ingram was formerly a resident of
I Emporium and resided here for many
j years Deceased was a member of
j Emporium lodge, A. Y. M., 382 and
j the fraternity will conduct the funeral
| ceremony, which will be held from the
| M. E. Church Friday morning at 10:30.
| Rev. Robt. McCaslin will conduct the
| services at the church. The remains
will be brought to Emporium this
evening. Many of our older citizens
1 will remember Mr. Ingram kindly and
' will be pained to hear of his death. It
is earnestly hoped that our citizens
will bear in mind the hour of the fun
eral.
Resumed Work.
C. B. Howard & Company's mill re
sumed operations last Monday for the
season. They expect a busy year and
orders are coming in rapidly. It is
predicted that the present will be a
prosperous -year among lumbermen.
The domestic demand for lumber for
building purposes is certain to be large,
while the requirements for furniture
of all kinds in Cuba and Puerto Rico
will draw largely upon the hardwood
production of the country. A busy
season among the mills and factories
means a prosperous time among the
workingmen, and it is hoped that the
increased demand for lumber and its
products will be realized. The ad
vance in the price of hemlock makes
the lumbermen of this region feel par
ticularly encouraged. This important
industry has at least ten years more
lumber to manufacture and will give
employment to many hundreds of
workmen.
