Murder Near Clarfield.
Ci.kabfikld, .July 3.—. T. C. liar- I
mon. a prominent merchant of j
Penfield, this county, to-day killed
Esekiel Hewitt, a well to do farmer.
Hewitt called at Harmon's store to J
settle his accounts. A dispute j
arose and Harmon ordered Hewitt |
to leave the store. The latter re
fused togo and struck Harmon,
knocking him down.
When Harmon arose he seized a .
two pound weight and threw it at
his assailant, striking him on the j
forehead and killing him instantly.
Herinon gave himself up and the j
coroner will investigate the affair ;
to-morrow. The whole community
is shocked as both men were highly
respected.
Big Hotel Burned.
The Grand Central Hotel, the'
largest hostelry in Smethport, a
four-story brick structure, caught \
fire at 6:30 a. m., Saturday. July j
Bth, and was totally destroyed. ,
The origin of the fire is a mystery. !
Bradford was appealed to for;
assistance and Chief McAllister
responded immediately with a fire
steamer and seven firemen, arriv
ing on special train at *J:O0 o'clock, ,
and confined the flames to the hotel
building. The loss on the building
and contents is estimated at SSO,- \
000; insurance on the building, .
821,500; SSOO on furniture belong- '
ing to the Taylor estate, and $2,0(10
on furniture belonging to landlord I
McGnire.
Base Ball.
The game at Sterling Run on the
Fourth was one of the finest exhi
bitions of base ball that the people
of Emporium has had the pleasure
of witnessing this season, on the
part of the Emporium team, there
being but one or two errors on
their side, those not being costly.
The boys all put up a fine game,
and everybody seemed well pleased
with the showing which they made.
In the beginning it was very
evident that Sterling Run was not
in it in the least.
Overturf pitched magnificent
ball, striking out nine men and
failing to make a single miscue in
giving a man a base on balls or
hitting a battsman, while Freil
was a tritle wild, hitting three men
and giving several bases on balls,
after which some of those who
walked to first base afterward
scored. Freil was hit hard in the |
first, seventh and nineth innings, j
our boys batting him almost at
will, every man in tlie team get
ting a hit off his delivery. His
support was also poor, Sterling
Run's imported players not prov
ing as valuable as was at first an
ticipated.
In the first inning our boys went
at it in fine shape, batting in four
runs before being retired, Sterling
Run, then taking their turn, fan
ned out in order, being unable to
scoie. Neither side scored again
un''. the seventh inning, when
Emporium added two more runs
ito their list and then retired,
| In this inning Sterling Run made :
their first and only run of the i
game, on what might be termed an
| excusable error. Neither side
I scored in the eighth, Emporium
batting in three more runs in the
ninth, Sterling Run not being able
: to score.
The features of the game were
I the one hand catch by More of
1 Sterling and the double play by
I Overturf, George and Farrell. of
Emporium.
The reading room, opposite City
Hotel has been remodeled and a new
stock of encyclopedia and literature
added.

DETERMINED TO DIE.
Two Attempts of an Elmira School
Teacher to Commit Suicide.
ELMIRA, June 30.—Two sensa-;
tional attempts at self-destruction 1
were made by Miss Mary S. Bos- !
worth, a well-known and promin
ent school teacher of this city, this !
morning. Miss Boswortli resides
at the corner of Balsam and j
Franklin streets with the remain
der of the family. Shortly after !
1 o'clock this morning she awoke |
the members of the household with
her movements, and when they
found her she was standing in the
center of one of the living rooms
with a pair of scissors clasped
tightly in her hands. Before her
relatives could get to her she had
gouged ihe pointed ends into her
throat. She tried desperately to
repeat the performance, but was
held firmly by relatives until as
sistance arrived, when, with the
aid of medical attendance, she was
quieted down, and by 1) o'clock
was apparently in her usual cheer- j
fill mood.
At about 9:30 o'clock she was '
taken out for a walk with two at-1
teiulants as it was thought that i
the out-door air would be benefi
cial. She had walked but a short i
distance down Franklin street and
was not more than a block from
her home when she broke away
from her companions and running j
out into the street threw herself!
onto the tracks in front of a |
rapidly approaching West Side ]
streetcar. By almost superhuman i
efforts the motorinan brought the j
car to a standstill just in time to
save her from being crushed under
the wheels. Once more she was;
removed to her home and quieted
down.
In the same house in which she
resides is an invalid woman who is
in the city for medical attendance
and during the forenoon Miss Bos
worth threatened her life. Pre
vious to this time they have always
been on the best of terms.
A commission, consisting of Drs.
F. H. Flood and A. 11. Baker, ex
amined the teacher at noon to-day,
and declared her insane. She will
be taken to the Binghamton State
Hospital to-morrow. It was
learned that four years ago Miss
Bosworth suffered an attack of
typhoid fever and the attempts at
i suicide to-day are attributed to the
; sudden giving way of her mind as
i a result of this illness.
Policeman have been guarding
the house to-day to prevent her
from escaping from the care of at
tendants and creating any more
disturbance.—Rochester (N. Y.)
I Chronicle, July Ist.
Driftwood authorities are contract
ing with eastern capitalists for the
laying of a water system for fire and
domestic purposes. Driftwood has an
abundance of pure water close at hand.
Serious Accident.
Robt. Robinson, who drives Geo. J.
i Laßar's furniture delivery wagon, met
with a painful accident, last Friday,
that may result in the loss of his right
eye. While shearing one of his horse's
fetlocks, the horse suddenly raised its
leg, driving the points of the shears
into his right eye. Drs. Bardwell and
DeLong were called and did what
they could for the young man, no
serious result's being anticipated at the
time, yet the physicians stated that
complications might set in and de
i stroy the eye. He rested easy until
Tuesday when the pain caused him to
suffer so greatly that his doctors advis
ed that he be taken to a specialist. Mr.
Robinson left this Thursday morning
for Toronto Hospital for treatment.
We fear the injury may cause the loss
of the eye, in fact it may have to be
removed in order to save the other eye.
His friends here hope he may be bene
fitted at the Toronto institution.
A Wail from the "Jungle."
Above the din of "savage war
whoops," the hissing of "snakes"
and the roar of wild beasts there
comes wafted in on gentle zephyrs
from the Potter "jungles" a bar
baric wail at the truth that was
told in the PUKSS of the 'J!(th ult.,
when the writer chanced to cut too
deep when he truthfully called
those would-be ball players "rob
bers. ''
The "Cheap John" editor of the
principal "Filipino" organ, The j
Enterprise, makes a blind-stagger [
at a vicious editorial in an attempt j
to bolster up the highway robbery j
on that famous Wednesday, and !
to descry the PUKSS and"the 2x4 J
county" for defending the interest !
of justice and fair play.
By the way, in justice to Editor
Mullin, 1 wish to state that he did
not write tin* article, but it was re
ported and written by a man. who,
perhaps, knows about as much
about the game as the average
Potter county "savage," and who
has played ball "2, x4" it ever
became known to civilization that
a unique specimen of man's sup
posed prehistoric ancestor was
running an "apple butter" paper j
in the wilds of Potter county.
Perhaps this spirited, corn-fed
editor has just awoke from a Kip
Van Winkle sleep and imagined
that he was rolling mne-pins in the
mountains, or hunting "robbins"
with an antiquated blunderbuss.
Take my advice, old man, and go
take another nap, and perhaps you
will wake up to find that some
benign hand has removed from
your shoulders the shrouds of an
tiquity, and you will, perhaps,
have a more pleasant taste in your
mouth.
After having an epileptic fit over
our 2x4 county, he gets the rickets
and roasts the PUKSS, because,
while throwing peanuts at, the
monkeys' cage it failed to throw a
few at the big fellow. Well, what
ever the I'nr.ss may be. or the
county may be, I have the satisfae
; tion of knowing that the PRESS has
ever stuck to one party and one
principle; it has never been a poli
' tical jumping-bean, changing prin
i ciple with the alternate success of
i any old party—always on the win-
I ning side, in the hope of gathering
in a few political sheckels.
He next apologizes for the Um
i pire, and says he is not a "native"
j but came from Olean. Well, I
S will apologize for charging poor
J i'otter with being responsible for
I this morbid example of degenerate
. manhood who has the audacity to
I pose as a base ball umpire without
! a thourough and complete knowl
-1 edge of the game and rules and
j that he was utterly devoid of this
i requisite was signified by his de
j cisions and his solicitation of
I pointers from the visitors. Out
j side of a ball game I do not ques
; tion this man's honesty of purpose
i or qualifications of an upright gen
l tleman, but he is woefully out of
place in ball game.
The Democrat quotes the article
from the PRESS and soliloquizes
thusly: "The writer of the above
article has undoubtedly been up
against some cheap, "chink" laun
dry fairy-tale tobacco, or had a bad
cook who rung in a few green ones
on him while ho was wearily lab
oring under the outrageously in
sane idea that the cheap bunch of
"clover kicking," "sod bursting"
comedians, who drove the hill to
play here on the Wednesday in
question, could play ball," and
finishes up by calling the writer a,
few pet names which he had added
to his choice vocabulary while
basking under the baneful influ
ence of a July sun in some charit
able institution for the weak and
insane, and begs him "to excuse
I himself to the world at large for
i being on earth," while he goes on
to state that "the boys were rob
bed." and to tell how much the
umpire knew about the game and
that "he had forgotten enough
about the game to fill a book"—
and a large one too, considering
what he didn't know about the
game—and praises the "Jersey
Colts" who were vanquished by
the Austin aggregation, and who
robbed Emporium, and who, when
on the verge of being beaten by
Smethport, kick out of the game
fur fear of losing their ' gold brick" '
reputation.
Considering the source from which
suuli rot emanates, I beg to be ex
cused for indulging in further
compliments to this foolish rabble
except to say that I never iterated
that the boys were robbed of the
game, practically, but that they
were robbed of an even chance of
winning, and "fair play" was a
foreign phrase to those looters of
public confidence.
Fortunately, no visiting organ
ization ever came to our "2x4"
county but what went away with
full stomachs and happy hearts and
spoke in the highest words of
praise and commendation of the
kind-hearted and chivalrous people
who inhabit it.
We sincerely hope that the
"Jersey Colts" will again visit our
town and play the return game
and we can assure them of the
most cordial treatment by our peo
ple and by the Firemen's Athletic
Association, and, whatever the re
sult, our people will be satisfied,
because they know that no "dirty"
ball playing is indulged in at this
place, as the people who support
the team are appealed to from a
moral sense of justice not to permit
it. W.
Change in Religious Services.
There will he a change in order of
religious services at Rich Valley dur
ing the warm weather. Instead of
every Sabbath evening as formerly,
there will be preaching only once in
two weeks, commencing July 16th; on
the alternate Sabbath evening a prayer
meeting. Both services at the regular
hour, 7:30 p. m.
On the alternate sabbath Rev.
Readett will preach at Truman instead
of on Wednesday evening as hereto
fore.
Diamond Pins Awarded.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany early in the year 1899 offered a
prize of a diamond pin to 110 of the
(5,000 agents employed in the United
States and Canada who wrote and
placed the largest number of policies
during the month of March, 1899. The
result of the contest was announced
the last of June, Pennsylvania being
awarded four of the prizes—two to the
Philadelphia, one to Pittsburg and one
to the Erie branches. Mr. Don M. Lar
rabee, of Emporium, was the lucky
winner of the prize in the Erie district,
standing 80th in a list of 5,300. He has
received the prize and is justly proud
of his reward, secured by hard work
up here in the mountains. The dia
mond pin is in the design of a life
buoy, about which is wound a golden
rope, having in its centre the Ameri
can flag.
A Sunday School Without Singing
Books.
The M. E. Sunday school of this
place will not use singing books in
their school next Sunday, but good
music, both old and new will bo sung,
touching on the subject of the lesson,
"The Hebrews in the Fiery Furnace."
Singing by the school,
Should earth against my soul engage,
And fiery darts he hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.
The new responsive service will be
a composition on the Lord's Prayer,
that was found in Charleston, S. C.,
during the Civil War, followed by
singing the old piece, "Safe within the
Vail."
A violin solo.
Singing by the school,
It may not be on the mountain's heights,
Or over the stormy sea;
And it may not be at the battle's front
My Lord will have need of me.
Rut if by a still small voice he calls
To paths that I do not know,
I'll answer, dear Lord,with my hand in thine'
I'll go where you want me to go.
A solo, "Never Alone."
I've seen the lightning flashing,
And heard the thunder roll;
I've felt sin's breakers dashing,
Trying to conquer my soul;
I've heard the voice of my Savior,
Telling me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
Singing by the school and joined in
by the primary children,
There's not an hour that he is not near us,
No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark, but his love can cheer us,
N• •, n"t one! No, not«»n♦ • •
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done:
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! No. not one !
Announcement next Sunday of how
twenty-live members of the school can
get a prize next Christmas.
School will open at 12 o'clock and
continue one hour. If you do not at
tend Sunday school elsewhere, you
are cordially invited to be present at
this interesting service next Sunday.

of this county, where a number of his
relatives reside, was killed near Ben
zinger last Thursday, by special train

Halderman-Bosler.
On Monday, July 3d, at the First
Baptist Church of Olean, Miss Rose
Halderman was married to Mr. Inon
Bosler. Miss Jennie Halderman, of
this place, acted as bridesmaid, with
the groom's brother, of the same city,
as best man. The bride was formerly an
Emporium girl, but who has been
residing in Olean for some time past,
and has a host of admiring friendn
here who extend congratulations and
wish her ban voyage on the connubial
sea of life. The groom, who is an
Olean boy, is a steady, industrious
young man and we predict for them a
happy future. They left on the even
ing train, Monday, on their honey
moon, for Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and
other places, after which they will
teke up their residence in Olean.
The residence of I. H. Legget, on
West Creek, was struck by lightning
Tuesday evening, shattering a por
tion of the house, entering the dining
room, passing around a bicyc'e stand
ing in the room and passing out the
other side of tha room. None of the
occupants were injured, although Mrs.
Leggett was standing within five feet
of the electric current.
