Epworth League Notes.
1 Ice cream and cake will be serv
ed Saturday evening, July Ist, in
the Olmsted Block, by the Chapter.
Misses Hattie Russell and
Myrtle Shaffer were sent from this
Chapter as delegates to the District
Convention held at Mifllinburg, 22
and 23 inst. and Friday evening
of this week the members and
friends of our chapter will be treat
ed to a full report of the good
things gathered at this magnificent
and most profitable assemblage, by
the delegates and the pastor Rev.
W. P. Shriner.
Do not think that the League is
011 the decline and is of 110 conse
quence because you fail to attend.
It is those who are not keeping
themselves posted on the workings
of this organization that are de
clining. I low many of our people
are aware that the Epworth
League has enjoyed tlie distinction
of greatly outnumbering in ten
years time, any society ever organ
ized, in the same length of time.
Does this not indicate that it is
one of the greatest christian bene
factors in (he world? Have you
no desire to become familiar with
so wonderful an organization ?
The Chapter meets at this place in
the lecture room of M. E. Church,
every Friday evening, either in
Spiritual or Mercy and Help Work,
or Literary or Social entertain
ment. Everybody is invited.

Death's Doings.
FAUCETTE.
M its. .JOHN FAUCETTE, aged (55
| years, died at Bath, N. Y., last
j Saturday. Mrs. Faucette formerly
! resided in Emporium and her many
; friends here will he pained to learn
of her death. Mrs. C. 11. Jessop,
j of Emporium, and Robt. Faucette,
of North Creek, children of the
deceased, left on Monday to attend
the funeral.
MCDONOUGH.
THOMAS MCDONOUGH, an old and
; respected citizens of Emporium.
: died at the family residence last
Friday, in his 71st year. Mr.
McDonough came to Emporium in
ISO 4, and, with the exception of a
few years, has since been in the
employ of the P. &E. K. R. Co.,
as trackman and watchman. He
raised a family of five children, all
of whom are living, viz: Dr. Jno.
McDonough. Temple, Texas; Syl
vester McDonough, Emporium;
Mr«. P. Normandy, Emporium;
I is. I'. McDonough. city clerk in
B.iffalo, X. Y., Post Oflice; Mrs.
Clarence Ritshie, Emporium. All
of the children, excepting the eldest
son, were in attendance at the
funeral, which took place last Sun
day at St. Marks church and was
very largely attended by our citi
zens. The interment was made in
Catholic cemetery.
The deceased leaves an aged
wife who enjoys the confidence
and respect of our citizens and the
love of her children. We have
been intimately acquainted with
the deceased and in common with
out people greatly respected him.
His happy disposition made even
the children of our town his com
parions and it was no uncommon
sight to see him entering a candy
store followed by a crowd of happy
children. Thos. McDonough was
tr.ily happy and contented with
this world and always looked upon
the bright side of life. Would that
m >re of us could follow hisexample
ai 1 be cheerful at all times and
under all circumstances.
EVANS.
MISS LAIBA EVANS, aged 20
years and ten days, died at the re
sidence of her sister, Mrs. E. O.
i Bardwell, last Monday morning at
1:30 o'clock, after an illness of
j several days, with jaundice. For
| some weeks she had been alllieted
with the disease but it was thought
she was improving, in fact she so
i far recovered the Sunday a week
| prior to her death that she was
j able to ride out. On the following
| Monday she suddenly grew worse
and Dr. Bardwell called into con
j saltation l)rs. Smith, DeLong and
lleilman and every effort known
ito medical science was made to
' cause the liver to act. The poor
! girl suffered terribly and died as
j above stated, not having been con
! scions since the Saturday prior to
j her death. On Tuesday morning
| a post-mortem was held and re
vealed tuberculosis of the liver,
j which is an incurable organic dis
j ease. The autopsy was attended
jby Drs. DeLong, Smith, lleilman,
! and Bardwell.
j The deceased was daughter of
| the late Hiram Evans ami has re
j sided in Emporium most of her
' life, except a few months residence
in Philadelphia. While never en
joying good health she bore her
affliction uncomplaingly and en
deavored to be happy and content
ed. Of a rather retiring disposi
j tion she was always contented with
| the confidence of her friends, and
| those who knew her best respected
her for the many excellent traits
| of character—kind, charitable and
, forgiving.
j The funeral was held from the
| residence of Dr. E. O. Bardwell,
yesterday afternoon at two o'clock.
Rev. McCaslin, of Presbyterian
church, conducted the services,
when the remains were interred in
Newton cemetery, the funeral ar
rangements being carried out as
expressed by the deceased girl some
months ago.
The funeral was very largely at
tended and the beautiful tokens of
esteem from the young friends of
the deceased were very gratifying
to her loved ones.
The poor, grief-stricken mother,
sisters and brothers have the heart
felt sympathy of the PRESS, as well
as our citizens generally.
The following relatives from
abroad attended the funeral: Mrs.
Hiram Evans, (mother), Morgan
Evans, (brother), and Mrs.
Harry Sackett, (sister), Wilkes
Barre; Mrs. Reed, (sister; Phila
delphia; Mrs. Seward (sister) and
daughter, Lima, O.
GROSS.
One of the saddest deaths we
have ever been called upon to
chronicle occurred last Sunday
afternoon, when RACIIAKL M.
CROSS, aged 30 years, wife of our
townsman (}. W. Gross, passed
away, leaving seven small children,
the eldest being seven years and
the youngest only four weeks old.
The death of this lady called forth
the tenderest sympathy of our
citizens, and many were the hearts
that ached for the motherless chil
dren and grief-stricken husband.
The funeral took place at the M.
E. church on Tuesday, the Rev.
Shriner delivering a touching and
eloquent sermon. The floral offer
ings from the friends of the de
ceased were numerous and beau
tiful.
TIK; deceased, who was a sister
of Mrs. J. R. Hamilton, has re
sided in Emporium for many years
and was universally respected. The
PUKSS extends its sympathy to the
bereaved husband and children.
liase Ball.
On Friday afternoon there will
be tested a new compound of dyna
mite. composed of glycerine-fat
with a mixture of nine percent,
of electro anti-fat, after which
the fats and anti-fats will play a
game of ball. I'red Julian, man
ager of the Climax dynamite works,
will have charge of the fats and
John \ ail, the electro man, will
operate the anti-fats.
If the boys succeed in finishing
the game, to cap the climax, Fred
Julian will lift the veil upon the
scene of the result of the test of a
new compound of dynamite.
Serious Runaway.
Last Friday afternoon, while
Walter McCaslin was returning
from John Day's farm, with one
of Mr. Day's horses hitlied to a
hay rack, the horse took fright
at the hay rack which slid up on
the wagon, and started to run down
the steep hill just above town, the
rack hitting her at every jump.
Mr. McCaslin, cool and collected,
tried to turn the horse into the
bank but the now thoroughly
frightened animal was uncontroll
able and kept on down the hill at
a mad pace, with Walter clinging
to him with a death-like determin
ation. At this juncture, while
rounding a sharp turn, the runa
way came upon the ox team of
Frank Slaves, driven by Thos.
Dougherty, who was coining to
town, and leaped directly upon the
wagon in its frantic endeavor to
free itself from the source of trouble.
In the mix-up that followed Mr.
Dougherty, who is in the neighbor
hood of 00 years of age and who
had just recovored from a tedious
illness, sustained a compound frac
ture of the right leg above the
knee. Dr. lleilman set the injured
member and the patient is getting
along nicely.
Walter, who was thrown from
his position in the melee, was
dragged about a hundred feet and
was picked up unconscious and
carried to the wagon bridge where
he regained consciousness and was
taken home and Dr. Smith called,
who dressed his injuries, which,
beyond a few scalp wounds, were
not serious, lie had a, beautiful
"shiner,'' and, as he told some
friends who called, he looked as
though "lie had been in a free-for
all fight, or had came in contact
with the business end of a large
cyclone."'

Centenary of Camp-Heelings.
A writer in the July Ladies'
Ilome Journal calls to mind that
one hundred years ago—August
171)9— the first ("imp-meeting i'or
religious worship was held in Am
erica. Ihe site of this notable
gathering is a sliorl distance from
Russellville, in the State of Ken
lucky. The earlier camp-meetings,
it is shown by the Journal's article,
were formerly conducted irrespec
tive of denominational lines, but
the form of worship soon became,
and has since remained, a .Metho
dist institution.
Law and Order.
The Horsemen of Emporium have

Emporium, Pa., June 22, IS!):).
Mr. Znrpn,
DEAR Si rt;—This is the time of year that boys
shoot explosives on the street. You have 110
right to sell them only on the Itli day of July,
and no one has a right t<» shoot them.
1 will prosecute the first one 1 catch, dealer or
shooter. If you will carefully warn every one
you sell to not to shoot on Fourth street, from
the rink to the Methodist church I won't say a
word. This practice of snapping and banging
on the street isn't safe. I have six others with
me that are bound the practice must stop. On
the railroad and Fifth street, or beyond, we wili
not prosecute unless there is damage done.
Please tell Lloyd.
