"■ m .U» r Jealousy Causes a Murder. Dußoib, Pa., April 30. —A mur der and attempted suicide occurred at Brockport, near here, at four o'clock this morning. Mrs. Ella Reeser was shot by Fred Walker, a widower, <>2 years of age, who made an unsuccessful attempt to end his own lift* with laudanum. Mrs. Reeser had been living with Walker al Brockwayville for tlie last 11 months, and against bis wishes was visiting friends named Silvas, at Brockport, two miles away from this place. Walker was intensely jealous of her, and late Saturday night went to Brock port, presumably 1o induce her to return. About four o'clock lie called her out, and in a short time the family was aroused by two shots. The woman was found lying dead at the foot of the steps, with two bullet holes in her head, and the man unconscious from the effects of laudanum, an empty bottle and a revolver lying by his side. Physicians were hastily sum moned, and after working 12 hours succeeded in bringing him out of danger. Mrs. Reeser formerly lived at this place. She had been several times married, and was also known by the name of Ella Hab itant!. She was 119 years of age. Teachers' Examinations.

EMPORIUM PA., THURSDAY, MAY 4,1899. Death's Doings. MORRISON. Mrs. William Morrison, aged 69 years, died on Friday, April 28th, 1899, at the family residence in Frankfort, Kv., after a long and painful illness. During the past few months she has been tenderly ministered to by her devoted daughter, Mrs. J. 11, Swain, of Emporium, and, with her loving husband, rendered everything to make the passing to the other shore peaceful. Mrs. Morrison's many Emporium friends, where she re- I sided for years, will be pained to j learn of her death, and extend j their sympathy to the bereaved j family. The funeral was held from the family residence at Frankfort, ! Ky.. last Sunday afternoon •** noon. East Friday evening a telegram was received from Williamsport in- 1 forming Emporium Lodge, 084, | I. <). <). F., that Alex. W. Hood i was an inmate of that hospital and j in a dying condition. Word was j promptly sent back to care for him and in case of death to forward his j remains to Emporium. Mr. Hood j died the same night and under taker lvnight took charge of his j remains and accompanied the same to Emporium on Sunday, j when he was met at the depot by a delegation of Odd Fellows. The j body was placed in La liar's under taking establishment to await the! funeral, which took plaee at 4 p. in., same day. The lodge, of which deceased was a member in good standing, attended the funeral in a body, meeting the remains at Mr. La Bar's and following them to Newton Cemetery, where He v. Mc- Caslin, of Presbyterian church, held short services, after which the burial was conducted by the Odd Fellows, according to the rites of the order. Uex. W. II ood. has resided in this county for several years and followed " the occupation of black smith in the woods. About a year ago he left for Hillings, W. Ya., j where he found employment in camp No. 5, but was expected to return to Emporium last week, as he informed some of his friends here. Jle was a native of Elgen, N. S., and aged about .'!1 years. The particulars of bis death and ; cause are not yet know. KAIKES. Arthur Raikes, aged 28 years, died at his residence in Sandusky, 0., April 25th, after an illnes of four week, with typhoid fever. Deceased was the son of Rev. and Mrs. Raikes, formerly of this plaee, and was buried upon the annivers ary of 1 iis father's death —April 27th. The young man will be pleasantly remembered by many friends of the family in Emporium. We :*lij> the following from the Sandusky (Ohio; Register, of April :iuth. 1800: In the death of Mr, Arthur ; Kaikes 112 his community has suffered the loss of one whose life was ex emplary in the highest degree, and whose many virtues endeared him to all with whom lie came in eon- I tact. Arthur P. Kaikes was born in Lockport, N. Y., about 28 i years ago, and was the son of Rev. F. W. and Mary P. Raikes. He received his education chiefly in the city of Dunkirk. N. Y., and when bis father accepted the rec torship of Calvary church, in this city, in .January 1889, came to Sandusky, where he has since held continuous residence. I n the sum mer of 1X92 he was united in mar riage to Miss Mary Coles, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Coles, his father and the Rev. Fred K. W. Clampett performing the ceremony. Mr. Raikes was a clerk in the freight department of the B. & 0.. practically the entire time of his residence here. In the work of the church he was always prominent and faithful. The burial services in Grace church were both beauti ful and impressive, the rectors of Grace and Calvary officiating. The life of Mr. Raikes was singularly pure, retiring and self-sacrificing, and many indeed have been made richer by knowledge of him, whose life extended little beyond a quar ter of a century. School Term Closed. The Emporium public schools closed one of the most successful terms in the history of Emporium, yesterday. The exercises upon this occasion were pleasant, profi table and a credit to the teachers. Prof. Stanffer and his very able as sistants certainly deserve the thanks of directors and citizens — the pupils will thank them in later years—for their untiring efforts. Albert Bair Married. Mr. Albert Bair, one of Empo rium's young men, has taken unto himself a wife. The Jersey Shore correspondent of Grit says: "A wedding occurred on Tuesday evening at 8:00 o'clock, at the 1 nne. of Mr. and Mrs. .John Rich ardson, on Thompson street, at which their daughter, Carrie, was married to Mr. M. Albert Bair, who has been connected with the Beech Creek railroad for several years, and is now a fireman on a passenger engine. The bride is an estimable young woman, who has been a resident of .Jersey Shore all her life, and the good wishes of all follow the young couple in their venture on the sea of life. The Citizens band serenaded them on Thursday evening after the cere mony." Election of County Superintendent. The school directors of Cameron county met in convention at Em porium, last Tuesday, for the pur pose of electing one person for Superintendent of the schools of Cameron county. The convention was called to order by the County Superintendent, Miss Mattie M. Collins. Dr. Y. K. Corbett, of Driftwood, was elected President, and B. E. Smith, of Lumber, and A. L. Ensign, of Portage, as Sec taries. Cpou call of the roll of the county it was found that thirty two directors were in attennancc. Nominations being called for Mr. E. C. Davison, of Emporium, placed in nomination, in a few brief remarks, Miss Mattie M. Collins. There being no other nominations Miss Collins was unanimously elected. On motion of Mr. M..1. B.Brooks, of Driftwood, the salary was lived at 81,000. Miss Collins' election was heart ily applauded, and, in a few well chosen words, the lady thanked the directors and citizens of the county for the manifestation of renewed confidence, promising to faithfully labor for the upbuilding of the schools of the county. The result of the convention will meet with the hearty approbation of the people of this county. Miss ; Collins has made a very efficient official and takes great pride in her work. The I'KKSS congratulates the lady upon her re-election. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Stauffer, Pastor of Grace M. K. Church, Mn. DECATUR N. LACY, of Buffalo,N.Y., to Miss OKA ANNETTE HKALY, of Emporium. Our Industries. "What shall be done to revive our industries in Emporium?" This question is almost hourly .asked by our citizens, one of the other. In all sections of the coun try, in all neighboring towns, hav ing less advantages than Empori um, business is booming and pros perity is spelled with a capital '•P.'" What are we doing in Em porium to foster our industries? Nothing, except that a few citizens j are earnestly laboring to attract ! the attention of capitalists to our ! undeveloped resources and natural J railroad facilities. With millions of tons of good coal almost at our ■ doors, coke ovens and a modern iron furnace idle, it seems that something can and should be done by our citizens, who have every thing at stake; should see the nec essity of giving every encourage ment to aid in the resumption of these works. With our furnace in operation, it would be only a. short time until tin- demand for coke would cause the coal mines to be worked, thereby giving employ ment to several hundred workmen. Our coal beds have been carefully examined by competent persons who declare that no better, nor as good, steam coal has been discov ered in the state. In addition to the valuable coal veins upon the lands of the Sinnemahoning Iron «K: Coal Company it is a well-known fact that good workable veins are located on the lands of C. It. Kline, C. B. Howard & Co., Pardee Estate and Xoyes Estate. All that is required to place these facts before the business world, now looking for investments, is united and unselfish action on the part of our citizens. We admit that there has been an effort for some time to resume operations at the furnace and tin parties contemplating a resumption of the plant are now carefully can vassing the matter. Let our citi zens meet them fairly, candidly and honestly. This, no doubt, is the critical time in the history of Cameron county, and especially Kinporiuni, and it behooves our people to promptly take up any proposition made to them and ACT. With the proper effort on part of our people, unitedly, we can see and secure our share of the prosperity enjoyed by our neigh bors. < iet up and shake off the dust —stop croaking. The verdict of "Not Guilty" in the conspiracy ease against Senator < »uay did not surprise any one who had watched the case closely from its inception to its close. The Commonwealth did not have a good case to begin with, and it grew weaker as it proceeded. A good deal is being said as to the prob ability of Quay not being accepted by the Senate; in the face of some precedents to the contrary, but as the Constitution makes that body the "judge of the election and qualification"' of its members, there will be no trouble on this score.— !
