Last Thursday's wind storm was , a '"cracker jack'* and made things j lively around town. Much dam age was done —trees blown down, windows broken, roofs torn away j and general havoc played with all loose things. The most serious damage was sustained at the Clim ax Powder works. At this place the men ran for fear of their lives; when the roofs commenced to raise. It is not known whether Joshua j Hair and llenrv Sassinan have stopped running yet. Modern Office. l he Climax Powder Company,of Emporium, whose business now ranks with the leading explosive lirms in the country,are rapidly in creasing their factory facilities— their extensive plant, near town, now numbering over forty build ings. is being still further enlarged.

Offered to Parties in Emporium Liv ing in Rented houses and Paying not More Than $lO a Honth. Two Prizes in Each Ward. Emporium is on the eve of a new j period of business prosperity, i This means new residents, more J visitors, more people whose atten- i tion will he challenged to our busy j mountain town. There can he 110 , doubt that our success will be ma- 1 terially helped, if the borough iin- ' presses strangeis and visitors with the trim and well kept appearance of its streets and premises. A visitor in a new place is always ; keenly alive to such impre.- -ions. I Dilapidated walks, weed-grown st reel s. littered with paper and tin cans, neglected front yards and : hack yards filled with unsightly j and unhealtliful accumulations of ; rubbish, all combine to make up an I appearance that is far from invit- | iug. and causes the visitor to enter tain an unfavorable opioion of the spirit of the inhabitants. Emporium enjoys a most pleas ant and sightly situation among the mountains, and she is justly proud of her tree lined streets, 1) 't well kept premises are all too few iu the borough. They are the exception rather than the rule. The fault has been due to a want of a proper pervasive public senti ment in the matter, a lack that has been intensified by the hard times and a dubious outlook for the fu ture. When people have to work hard to make ends meet, when property is depreciating in value, and when tenants are on the move, there is little spirit and little means for keeping up the most at tractive appearances. Happily these conditions are changing, and with new lifcanda hopeful outlook, we ought to set about at once to make the appearance of our hoi*<uigh improve as rapidly as our prosperity increases. Cleanliness is next to godliness. A clean, trim, well kept town, where everyone feels a pride in do ing his own part to make the whole attractive, has taken an im portant step towards realizing the things that are pure and lovely and of good report. <>n Monday evening, a commit tee. composed of one representative each from the Methodist Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Episcopal and Baptist Sunday schools, met in the Heading Room, and considered a plan for a modest step in the direction of village im provement. It was decided to offer two prizes in each ward for the best kept premises. As the prize fund is limited, and as it would be manifestly unfair in many cases to permit property owners to compete on equal terms with tenants, the committee decid ed to exclude the former from the contest. Following are the conditions and rules governing the contest: Two prizes to be given in each ward: First prize, 85; second, 83. Prizes to be awarded for the best kept premises, including front and back yards. The contest to be limited to parties living in rented houses, and paying not more than 810 a month rent. The prizes to be awarded the first of September. Parties wish to compete for the prizes are re quested to give their names to the Committee not later than June Three judges will be appointed by the Committee for each ward. The members of the Committee are Mrs. M. M. Larrabee, Miss Coyle, Miss Mary Robinson, Mr. G. S. Allen and Sir. Clias. Felt. Lovers of base ball should re member the Austin game Saturday. Base Ball. The Emporium nine will play ! its first game at this place next ! Saturday, at '2:30 p.m., with the j j Austin nine. The Iron Works. A large force of men are actively ! at work at the furnace and repairs ' , are being made as rapidly as pos- ! j sible. Supt. Brady expects the j i furnace togo in blast about August 1 i Ist. Prof. Stauffer Remains in Emporium. The friends of education in this | section of the state will be highly gratified to learn that at the meet ! ing of the Emporium ,">iy)ol Hoard j last Monday evening, I'rof. 11. F. i Stauffer was unanimously re-elected | i Principal of our schools for a term I of three years, at a salary of 81,100 j | ■" year. This makes Prof. Stauffer's j i fourth term and his energetic, un- 1 ' tiring and unselfish labors during ! the past; nine years has been duly j appreciated by our citizens, as well • as our school directors, and the j action of both principal and directors is very pleasing to our j people, one and all of whom | are greatly attached to this I elegant gentleman as an edu- j eational worker and public-spirited citizen. We feel sure the citizens of Em porium, as well as the entire coun ty, join the Pit ESS in rejoicing that a gentleman recognized as a lead ing light in educational matters is to remain with us for three years longer—and we hope many more years. Accidents. Last Monday, Elmer, the seven year-old son of Samuel Heed, while playing with other children at the tannery yard, caught his right leg between a handcar, with which the children w ere playing, and a freight car. The little fellow's leg was frightfully lacerated, the llesh being torn from the bone from knee to ankle. Fortunately no bones were broken and the little sufferer is resting comfortably and doing well at present, under Dr. Hard well's care, who expects to save the leg. During the severe windstorm on Thursday last.one Michael Donnel, employed on Allen Baldwin's job on Salt Run, while hurrying out of the woods for the camp, tripped and fell upon a keen-edged, double bitted axe, which lie was carrying, and sustained a painful cut on his left wrist, lie was placed in a carriage and driven quickly to Dr. Smith's office, at this place, where, upon examination, it was found that the hand was nearly severed from the arm. Dr. Smith dressed the wound. Fatal Accident. Alex. \Y. MeCormick. son of our former townsman, Dan'l MeCorm ick, met with a fatal accident near Keating Summit on Tuesday, lie was employed on B. »Sc S. Ry., as brakenian, when a wreck occurred, the train jumping the track and smashing most of the cars into kindling wood. It.was found that young MeCormick's back was broken and lie died soon after the accident. 11 is remains were brought to Emporium this afternoon and interred in St. Mark's Cemetery in the family plot. A delegation of Austin Maccabees accompanied the bereaved family and remains, the B. & S. Ry. furnishing a car for the accommodation of relatives and friends. His remains were met at the junction by a large number of friends from Emporium and other towns. Ex-County Treasurer W. L. Thomas ; has taken a contract to furnish the iron company with hewed pine timber. Ite i has commenced operations. The Emporium papers some weeks I ago complained that their town is so ) i dull and is dying. That is strange. How much has it been stated, asserted j and proclaimed, that where liquor licenses are granted "it makes lots of ' work and business." Main and other j streets in Emporium are numerously supplied with licensed hotels and beer ' saloons and the town should therefore be well supplied with manufacturing establishments. It should hum with i industry and commercial activity. Why is this not the case? "The money ■ [ is not sent out of the county," you ; know; it is spent in the grog-shops and drinking-hells, and therefore every , thing should thrive and flourish and ] ; everybody should be contented and ! ! happy!--Coudersport cor.

While Emporium has, no doubt, more licenced places than our needs demand, they all appear to florur ish and never fail to contribute their share of money, whether it be for the support of our churches or encourage the location of industries. Emporium is well and healthy, thank you. We have no pig's ears, thank the Lord, and never have from fifty to one hundred prosecutions for violation of the licence law, as you Potter county denizenß have for violations of your sweet-scent ed prohibitory (?) law—at an expense of thousands of dollars to the tax-pay ers. Our town is right in the swim of prosperity, our laborers are allat work', with low taxes and good schools, ann i! you desire to visit the handsomest, cleanest and most hospitable class oi' people just come over and see us. Wo are not making much fuss r.t present, but if brother Hayden will bring the correspondent over here for a few hours' visit he will go back minus his leek hooks. \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ N \ \ v: ✓ £ NEW DEPARTURE > / BY X ; l*l.
