"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 27,1899. Dangerous Sidewalks. There are numerous outrageously dangerous walks in Emporium and it will be well for property owners to pay attention to the law, ere some one is in jured. The law says, "Whenever the I abutting owner is by law bound to keep the highway in repair, he is liable for any injury caused by his negli i gence and municipality if subjected to j action by reason of negligence, has re course over him." The law accepts 110 excuses, so get on a hustle before I you get a bill of damages to pay. A Chapter of Accidents. | Joe, the little son of James Farrell, i while crossing the street 011 Saturday I evening was knocked down and mil j ! over by a bicycle, but fortunately was i j not very badly hurt. # # Last Thursday ex-Sheriff .1. W. ICriner, who has been superintending j ' the erection of a barn at Frank Shives' ! j farm, near Emporium, met with a painful accident lie fell through the i 1 barn floor, striking his face against a | I dank, sustaining severe injuries and has been confined to his residence ever since. Mr. Kriner was unconscious { when picked up and suffered consider- ! able until Sunday. He is now able to j be about again. Last Monday, Mr. S. Hillyard, who j has been employed in (J. 15. Howard & j Oo.'s mill at this place, had the mis- ! j fortune to get the two middle fingers | i of his left hand caught in the chain of 1 i the gang, cutting oil' about one inch ' |of the fingers. lie was taken to Dr. ; Bardwell's office and the injured mem- j I hers amputated at first joint. Mr. Hillyard is one of Howard & Co.'s 1 ' most faithful men and his accident— the first we believe—will lay him off 1 for only a few days. His friends, and they are legion, are glad the injuries I were not more serious. Lost in the riountains. Last Thursday the campers at (lie! : Cabin, near Xorth Bend, enjoyed (?) a genuine scare. The party from lOtnpo lium were winding up the week's sport, preparatory fur leaving for home, when two of the young ladies composing the party, Miss iva Cole, of Keokuk. lowa, laud Miss Ada lloekley. ol' lOmporiuin, thought il would be fun to take a a stroll up the steep) mountain in the rear ol the cottage and pick a few berries lbr tea. The girls not returning as soon as tliey were expected, men were >tarted in .search. Night was almost 011 the party, yet uo i traces of I lie missing girls. Kxcitenient | was now intense. Just think of two young ladies alone in a dense forest, sur rounded by snakes and all kinds of wild animals. Lunches were quickly packed lor tin all night search and a messenger dispatched to the Bend for additional men. 11i icy \\ arner and I. K. Hockley plunged into the briars and slashing, I while 15. W. Green and Win. Howard i started for Italy to call out the construc j tiou crew. At this time up went a shout —the lost were found. The girls had taken the wrong road arid wandered j through the mountains, coming out seven ! miles from the Cabin. They had trav ; eled fifteen miles and when found were foot sore and about tired out. <)f course thev were received with cheers and music by the band—all the tin utensils of the camp. It was an experience long to be remembered and not soon to be forgotten, especially by the brave young ladies. Volunteers for Philippines. 1 Frank T. McNarney, a former captain of Com pany 11, 12th regiment, and late of the U. S. army lias been authorized by Adjutant General Corbin to raise men from this district for service in the ■ Philippines. Captain McNarney has the assur ance that the men will be assigned together with him and go direct to the Philippines, there to join one of the two skeleton regements now be ing formed, it is quite an advantage for the men ; of this district to ha"e the opportunity to enlist j and serve with a man who lias been proven a 1 thorough soldier in peace and war. Captain McNarney is the only man in Penn sylyania who has received a certificate of merit for bravery in the Spanish-American war, and is thoroughly competent to handle his men under any and all circumstances. The Adjutant Gen i eral has instructed the recruiting officer at Wil lianisport to muster In the men as volunteer Philippine soldiers, and place tliem at a hotel until the required forty men are together, when they will proceed to the Philippines by way of the Presedio. Captain McNarney is now in this city and can be seen at the Keystone printing office on Helle avenue —Clinton Republican. This will be an opportunity for Cam eron county men to enlist for two years. Apply at once to ('apt. Mc- Narney, at Williamsport. Capt. Mc- Narney is well known in Emporium, being brother of J. P. McNarney. BRIEF fIENTION. Dusty on Tuesday. Buy a road sprinkler.

Umpire, O'Connell. Renovo News: Don't think the Renovo club can't play ball after Sat urday's game. It was as pretty a con test as was ever witnessed on the home ground;; and reminded the spec tators of the famous games played by tlu: old resolutes many years ago. There were only seven hits made in the game, live of which were made by Renovo players. Renovo had three and Emporium four errors, yet the game was a faultless one throughout. It was a gentlemanly contest too; no wrangling, no bickering and nothing to mar the pleasure of the spectators, excepting the unusual friendship of Old Sol who made humanity sweat. It was hot Every person person present will concede that, but il it were twiqe as hot the spectators would have re mained for it was a battle royal be tween the two teams, ihe members of which know how to play the national sport The battery work of Stout and Friel was spuperb. Only two hits were made off "Jimmy"and these were of the "scratchy" order amounting to naught Will Friel is as good behind the bat as in the pitcher's box, and proved be yond all doubt that he is an exception al, all 'round player. Hut McMani gal's work at third captured the hearts of the fans by storm. Harry is a na tural ball player and a quick one, too. He had four put-outs, of the gilt-edged order, and four assists of the lightning variety besides one hit. The work of the Emporium club was also good—better, in fact than any club that has played here this year. The score of 3 to 0 is no disgrace to Emporium because it takes a first-class nine to hold the score this fine. And the Emporium boys made a most fav orable impression too. They are a crowd of gentlemen as well as a nine of ball players. MET DEFEAT HERI- A(iAIN ON TUESDAY. Our Boys Played Loosely in the l irst three Innings and the Visitors Gained a Lead that the Home Team Could Not Overcome—The Score was 13 to 5. The Emporium and Renovo teams played the "rubber" on Tuesday, on the home grounds, resulting in a vic tory for the latter club. Nearly a thousand people gathered at the grounds to witness the game and the Renovo "rooter" was much in evi dence. Renovo went to bat lirst and succeeded in batting in three runs be fore the side was retired, and several scores in the next two innings gave the visitors a lead which the "fire lighters" could not overcome. As for Emporium they scored a succession of "goose eggs" up to the fifth, when they began to hit pitcher Friel to effect and scored three runs. Then Emporium failed to score again untill the ninth, when they added two more making live in all. The first three innings was rather loosely played and was where the Renovos secured their lead, but after that the boys got together and played the game. The features of the game were McManigal's work at third for Renovo, and the battery work of Overturf and Mumford. The score: RENOVO.

Jolly Pleasure Soakers. Last Tuesday, while journeying through the dust towards the Renovo pic-nie, being held in Wiley's Grove, we were "flagged by a jolly party of Jteno voites, who were taking a rest on 1". C. Davison's terrace. We noticed tho fol lowing in the party: John I'. Shaffer, Jr., associate editor <>f tin 1; novo Record. 1,. <'. Smart, K. W.Shaffer, foreman of the Renovo Record, Truman Xcyheart. L. -1. Reynolds, accompanied by Mi--. - Carry Ileek. Millie 112 ail, Ella Good. Clara 1 lollinjisworth, all of Renovo and Miss Carrie Smart, of Westport. and Miss Lillian Shaller, of Williams burg. The jovial party certainly did have a fine time. The editor ot the < Vudcr.-port Knter prise must be a beautiful cuss andaftcr read ing his last boiler plate edition and grab bled news from his exchanges, one is lead to believe that lie knows little or nothing of what constitutes the position of an editor of a newspaper. Some weeks ago there appeared a comniucation in the Pukss relative to a game of ball played between Emporium and Coudcrsport nines, which appears to have been highly displeasing to the immaculate editor of the Knterprise and ho forthwith empties his vile stomach upon the editor of this journal. We know no more about the matter in controversy than the Enter prise, yet we aro informed, reliably, that tin; Emporium boys have just cause to !>c aggrieved and only want, lair play, but this the. Coudcrsport nine dare not even attempt to give. Von may vomit your venom on us, Mr. Enterprise, to your heart's content, but you can't play ball a little bit—marbles would answer the better. We have no time for such "rot' as the editor of the Huterprise indulge in and the disgusting exhibition he delight in making of himself upon the least pro vocation. An editor who allows himself to be drawn into such tirades only lessons his manhood and the community in which he resides despises the author. In reply to the beautiful (?) and affection ate (?) reference to ourselves, as well as the Piiess, we have only this to say: When the Enterprise editor and his sub sidized journal has established a record equal to the Press for clean journalism, loyalty to its party and county then, and only then, can it look at home for consolation. Personally we are abund antly able to defend our political course and that is more than the Enterprise man dare attempt, for fear he might take a flop while at it—if the right man ''sees him first. Low-down bar-room language we never learned. That we leave to Butter worth, if he enjoys it. Good bye. Why Not Pave Fourth Street? The question, "Shall the Borough of Emporium pave Fourth street ?'' we daily hear discussed by our citizens and property owners. While a few, of course, protest against any such extravagant and useless (?) expenditure of money, the great majority of our citizens realize that the more useless expenditure of money in keeping up the street the past twenty years has been an outrage. After the expenditure of many thousands of dollars what have we to-day. Nothing but mud or dust. Let our borough fathers prop | erly investigate the question and should they find the project feasible submit the matter to the people. Emporium has practically no debt to speak of. The borough can be bonded for §IB,OOO for a long term of years and the bonds readily disposed of at a low rate ot inter est. thereby allowing the rising generation to pay the principle. Fourth street paved would be one of the handsomest in the state; property would increase in value as a result of the expenditure; mud and dust would not. cause the merchants annoyance and the housewife hard work In short, it would be oconoinj in the right direction. We should like to hear from our lead ing citizens and taxpayers upon this question. Think it over and let us hear from you. Our columns are open to all. Now is the time to strike.
