Death's Doings. I
KNICKERBOCKER.
Just as we were going to press last
Thursday we stopped long enough to
announce the death of MR. WILLIAM
KNICKERBOCKER, in his 66th year. The
deceased had been invalid for several
years and was a great sufferer. Mr.
K. was a veteran of the civil war and
had resided in this section for many
years. The funeral took place from
the family residence on Cherry street,
last Saturday, at two o'clock, Rev.
Shriner officiating. A delegation from
Lieut. D. W. Taggart Post, of which
deceased bad been a member, followed
their old comrade to his last resting
place in Newton cemetery. A wife
and one son survive the deceased.
SWARTWOOD.
MRS. ALVARETTA A. SWARTWOOD,
wife of Anson O. Swartwood, died at
the family residence on West Fifth
street, Emporium, Pa., on Friday,
Nov. 24th, 1 S'llt, aged 4(S years, four
months and 22 days. Mrs. Swartwood,
who was the second daughter of Jos.
Housler, one of the pioneer citizens of
this county but now a resident of Lock
Haven, and resided here all her life.
Not of a robust const itution she suffered
greatly for several years with a com
plication of diseases, until the past two
years, when she and her family moved
from their old home in Rich Valley, to
Emporium, in order to be close to
medical assistance. Disease baffled
medical skill and the past year she
continued to fail. Death relieved her
suffering on the above date, .while
surrounded by her immediate family.
Having lived a consistent christian
life she died strong in the faith. De
ceased leaves a husband, one son and
a wide circle of sorrowing friends.
The funeral took place from the family
residence last Sunday, at 2 p. m., and
was very largely attended. After a
short prayer by Rev. Readette, her
pastor, the funeral cortege wended its
way to Rich Valley church where
funeral services were conducted, Rev.
Readette officiating. The little church
was crowded with the inhabitants of
that section of the county, who had
known and respected the deceased
lady from childhood, also large num
bers from Emporium. At the close of
the services the remains were con
i signed to mother earth, while her spirit
has gone to meet the loved ones long
since passed to the other shore.
The following relatives and friends
' from a distance attended the funeral:
i Jos. Housler, (father) Lock Haven;
! George and William Irons, Mrs. C. H.
; Bigelow, Miss Theresa Bigelow, Mrs.
i C. N. Bates, Miss Oraßiever, (cousins)
I Smethport.

The Battle of the Independents.
The Independent Republicans of
Pennsylvania have recently held numer
ous conferences to organize for the great
battle of next year against Quay. They
lack nothing in earnestness of purpose or
in willingness to make tireless and even
desperate effort to win for their cause,
and there arc ample elements in the
State to give them a victory if they can
be combined and made to work harmoni
ously to a common end.
Before starting in the new campaign
it would be well carefully to consider the
errors of the past. The last Legislature
could have been organized by the Inde
pendents if they had been sufficiently
wise and courageous to invite the co-oper
ation of the Democrats to make an Inde
pendent Republican Speaker, divide the
offices of the body with the Democrats
and control the committees of the body.
The Independents were then upon the
verge of revolt; knew that it was i-.evita
ble, and yet permitted themselves to lose
control i " the House that made them
powcrlc ' in legislation, and lust them the
unity of action with the Democrats that
would have been more than possible had
tl' l opposition elements started out to
gether and won some substantial results
in the first skirmish.
The Independent opposition to Quay
can accomplish little unless the Demo
crats shdll get into better condition for
practical co-operation than they have ex
hibited during the last two years. One
third of th • Democratic members of the
present Lcgi.-lntu. i owed their suc
cess to the fearless and aggressive
campaign made by Wanamaker in oppo
sition to the nomination of < rovemor Stone
and to the mastery of Quay, but when
the Democrats had 10 chance to elect an
1 udepeiß. lit SenatoL whose reform views
were professed by i decided mojority of
the whole Leuisla re. they made tlvni-
selves unf'elt in tl.„ contest and accom
plished .iothing. Unless there -hull he
better Democratic conditions in the com
ing battle the Independents will l.ave
little inspiration to elect Democratic legis
lators, either by directly voting for them
or supporting Independent tickets where
by .Democrats may succeed. It' Quay
cannot be elected by the next Legislature j
lie wouli prefer a deadlock. It admitted
to the Senate, as seems more than possible,
another deadlock would give him practi
cally four sessions in the Senate by ap
pointment.
if a majority of the people of the State
desires Quay s re-election he should re
ceive it, and none could then reasonably
complain of his triumph. If the majority
of the people are not in favor of him
succeeding himself in the Senate he
should not be elected, and that issue will
come directly before the people in the
coming contest. A large majority or the
Republicans will follow Quay. <>n that
point there can be no reason to doubt.
They follow the organization and Quay is
the organization, and if the Independents
and the Democrats run separate side
shows against him, the chances will be
largely in favor of his winning a re-elec
tion from the next Legislature.
These are the facts which leaders all
around should look in the face and meet
with the wisdom and courage which are
necessary in any great political move
ment. It will be a fight to a finish, and
there is now every indication that it will
be one of unexampled bitterness, result
ing in victor and vanquished in the full
est measure that the terms apply.— Phila
delphia Times.
Excelsior Works Burned.
Last Saturday morning, about one
o'clock, the Excelsior Works, located
at Beechwood, this county, was dis
covered to be on fire and had gained
such headway that the entire structure
was totally destroyed, entailing a loss
of about §20,000. We have not been
able to see the proprietor Mr. C. It.
Kline to get the particulars, yet hope
lie has sufficient insurance to warrant
his rebuilding the plant.
This industry had but recently been
erected and contained much valuable
machinery.

Brilliant and Happy Wedding.
The most brilliant and happy church
wedding ever celebrated in Emporium
was that at the Baptist church last
Tuesday evening, which united MR.
C.JAY GOODNOUGH and Miss FLORENCE
E. OLMSTED. The church was beauti
fully decorated for the occasion with cut
flowers, chrysanthemums, potted ferns
and evergreens, making a beautiful
appearance and filling the church with
sweet fragrance. Promptly at seven
o'clock the guests commenced to arrive
and when the hour for the ceremony,
7:30 ]>. m., arrived, the room was well
filled with the friends of the contract
ing parties, representing a very large
circle of friends. The invited guests
were met by Messrs. Chas. Gleason,
Herbert Olmsted, J. William Kaye,
Charles T. Logan and Fred Hunt
ington, in full evening dress, and con
ducted to their seats. Promptly at 7:30
Mrs. William Howard took her scat at
the organ and beautifully rendered the
Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin. Pres
ently thesoft, sweet voices ofthechorus
girls were heard approaching from the
church parlors, in the basement of the
church, and as they entered the room
they separated and passed down the
center aisle, meeting the bride and her
attendants at the entrance. The bridal
party proceeded in the following order:
Chorus girls, Miss Byrde Taggart,
Grace McCaslin, Laura McQuay. Grace
Leet, Myrtle Olmsted, Bessie McCas
lin, Lillian Ileilman and Edith Olm
sted; Maid of Honor, .Mrs. Frank J.
Beers, sister of bride; bride, leaning
on arm of her father; flower girls,
Misses Gladys Lloyd and Gladys Bur
rows; bribe's pages, Masters Joe Me-
Narney and Clark Metzger. As the
procession neared the altar Rev. Robt.
McCaslin, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, entered from the rear door,
followed by the groom and his best
man, Mr. John 31. Gena, of Olean,
N. Y. The groom accepting the bride
from her father took their place in
front of the altar, surrounded by the
chorus girls, when the beautiful Pres
byterian service was read. The ques
tions and responses were given and
returned in audible tones, and C. JAY
GOODNOUGH and FLORENCE E.OLMSTED
were pronounced man and wife. This
closed one of the handsomest and most
lovely wedding celebrations ever wit
nessed in Emporium. The bride was
handsomely attired in white satin and
the groom wore the conventional
evening dress.
The bridal party repaired to the
residence of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. H. C. Olmsted, on West
Fourth street, where a wedding dinner
was served the immediate family and
relatives, after which the happy couple
left on Erie mail east on a short visit
to Philadelphia. They were fortunate
and sharp enough to elude the rice
fiends and cutely managed to get
aboard the sleeper unseen, while many
of their friends were searching the
train in vain.
The following relatives and friends
from out of town attended the wed
ding: Mrs. Frank T. Beers (sister of
the bride), of Bellefonte; L. O. Good
nough (brother of groom), wife and
son, of Cornwall-on-Hudson; Mr. and
Mrs. H. J. Olmsted, Miss Edith Olm
sted, a former Emporium young lady
and an esteemed daughter of IT. Clint
Olmsted, Coudersport; Mr. and Mrs.
L. W. Cusliing, F. A. Leet, Ulysses,
Pa.; Thos. If. Norris, Portland Mills;
Mr. and Mrs. Clias. Gleason, Drift
j wood.
Mr. and Mrs. Goodnougli were
| pleasantly remembered by their friends
i and are the recipients of many very
handsome presents, both useful and
ornamental. They will be at homo to
their friends at their residence on
West Sixth street, after the first of
January. The PRESS, as well as our
citizens generally, wish them a long,
prosperous and happy life.

Expansion.
Philadelphia Record: "I am per
suaded," said President Madison —who
was, perhaps, the chief among our
constitution makers—"that 110 Consti
tution was ever so well calculated as
ours for extensive empire and self
government." Since Madison's time
the truth of his forecast has been tested
by experience. The area of the coun
try has been extended from the At
lantic to the Pacific. A non-contigu
ous part of the Continent has been
added to our possessions. There has
been no failure on the part of our con
stitution to adaptably stretch itself
over our expanding limits. It has
withstood the test of accommodation
to foreign territory acquired both by
purchase and conquest, and has not
failed us even in the stress of civil
strife.
Looking back at the experiences of
the past century in the absorptions
which have increased the area of the
United States, from the 325,065 square
miles of the thirteen original States to
the 3,602,990 square miles now consti
tuting the American Republic exclusive
I of our lately acquired insular posses
sions, the most despondent anti-ex
! pansionist can put aside his fears and
; take heart of hope. The further wo
i can push the benign operation of
our constitutional government the
, better for ourselves and the better for
the people who are permitted to share
i with us the benefits of self-govern-
I ment.
