Two of Emporium's highly esteemed
young people, MR. MICHAEL DOLAN
and Miss MINNIE VOGT, were married
at St. Mark's church, Tuesday morn
iog at 9 o'clock, by Rev. Downey.
Immediately after the ceremony,
which was witnessed by a large num
ber of friends, the wedding party re
paired to the residence of the bride's*
brother, County Commissioner A. F.
Vogt, where the wedding breakfast
was partaken of. Both are popular
with their friends and are greatly
esteemed by their acquaintances. The
bride has resided in Emporium all her
life and is universally respected by our
people. The groom is the gentlemanly
clerk at the City Hotel and is very
popular, not only with the traveling
public, but all who know him. Hon
orable, courteous and a true gentle
man, he counts his friends by the
score.
The PRESS wishes the couple much
happiness. Mr. and Mrs. Dolan are at
home at their cozy rooms 111 the Tulis

An Elopement.
James Howland, who moved from
near Ladona to Sizerville about a
month ago, was in town yesterday in
search of his 14-year-old daughter
Carrie, who eloped Sunday with a man
by the name of Frank Blodgett, 40
years of age, who was employed by
the child's father and boarded with
him. The man was evidently greatly
in love with the girl and asked the
parents for her hand in marriage.
This, of course, they refused for many
reasons, the principle one being the
child'sage, and also the man's inability
to support a wife. The girl was un
doubtedly persuaded by the man to
run awav, and at 12 o'clock they
started afoot and have not been heard
of nor seen since that time. The child
is about five feet, six inches in height,
round face, ruddy complexion, hair
nearly black. She wore alightcolored
hat and coat. The man is of slight
build, short, and weighs about 130
pounds, sandy mustache, and bald
headed He is a sort of a religious
crank and makes public demonstra
tions. Anyone knowing of the where
abouts of the girl will confer a great
favor by writing or telegraphing the
anxious parents at Sizerville.—Potter

Letter From Josiah Howard.
On Board the "San Juan," Jan. 27.
Editor Cam< ron Count)/ Press:
DEAR SIK: —As you see by the en
closed passenger list we are sailing
under the command of Captain Lloyd,
to Puerto Rica and have on board
General Davis, Governor-General of
Puerto Rica, also the Ex Governor of
Conn., Mr. Dewall.
So far the water has been fairly
smooth and to-day we began to feel
the warm air of the south. According
to observations recorded by the Cap
tain, on the chart at noon to-dav, we
are 750 miles from New York and 635
miles from Puerto Rica and will likely
reach there on Monday evening. The
boat is not making her best time, as
this is her first trip and the machinery
is being humored on its maiden trip.
The liamt and waiters and some pass
engers are quite fresh. On Thursday
afternoon when the Captain sounded
the fire alarm, just for fun as it were,
there was a great scramble among
the passengers and sailors and
the boys had quite a laugh at me be
cause I helped with the hose, but I was
was satisfied, because the "Hamilton's"
plug threw first water.
Tell "Gus" to keep it up and we will
make him Chief next year.
Please send me the PRESS for this
and the next two weeks to Havana.

Death's Doings.
DOWNEY—On Sunday, Feb. 4, 1900, at 10:20 p.
in., at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital
in Philadelphia, OLIVINE DOWHEY, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel Downey, Sr., of Emporium,
Pa., at the, age of 20 years, 7 months and 27
days.
At last, after many weeks of untold
suffering with malignant disease, OLI
VINE DOWNEY has passed away, hav
ing died at the University of Pennsyl
vania Hospital, in Philadelphia, on
Sunday night, the result of a singularly
fatal disease, known to medical science
as Lymphadenoma, or Hodgkin's dis
ease, which is a progressive enlarge
ment of the lymphatic glands.
Mr. Downey, at the time he was
attacked by the disease, was employed
by Mr. C. G. Schmidt, as a baker, in
the City Bakery, at this place. Being
warned as to the seriousness of his
malady, he left here some fourteen
weeks ago for Harrisburg, where he
was taken care of by liia brother, Mr.
Frank R. Downey, and where he re
mained for seven weeks, receiving the
attention of the best physicians in the
city, on whose advice he was taken
to the University Hospital to undergo
an operation, which was performed on
the third of January and ten of the
diseased lymphatic glands under the
left shoulder were removed. After
the operation was performed he rallied
for a few days and hopes were enter
tained for his recovery when pleurisy
set in and he began to fail. His case
was almost a hopeless one some two
weeks ago, when his mother was called
to his bedside, and from that time
until death his life hung in the balance.
The remains arrived here on Flyer
Tuesday morning and lay instate at
the family residence, corner of Fifth
and Vine streets, where they were
viewed by a vast concourse of sorrow
ing relatives and friends, until this
afternoon when the funeral was held.
Short services were held at the
house at 2 o'clock, from whence the
remains were taken to the M. E.
church, where Rev. Shriner conducted
one of the saddest and most impressive
funeral services we have ever attended.
From the church the funeral cortege
sadly and silently wended its way to
the Wiley cemetery and with the heart
breaking sobs and other manifestations
of profound sorrow were mingled the
Pastor's words "Dust to dust, and
ashes to ashes" as all that was mortal
of Olivine Downey was lowered to its
last resting p|ace on earth.
The I'. (). S. of A., of which deceased
was an honored member, attended the
funeral in a body, and, according to
the rights of the order, appropriate
services were held over the body of
their deceased brother. The pall
bearers were from the Emporium High
School Alumni, of which he was a
member.
Deceased was born in Emporium,
June 8, 1879, and has spent the whole
of his short life here. He was educated
at the Emporium High School, having
graduated from that institution in the
class of '96.
The death of such a promising young
man is not only deeply lamented by
the community in which he had grown
to manhood, but is a sad blow to his
aged parents, to whom he was a source
of great comfort and joy. His genial
disposition, his sterling honesty, tem
perate habits, unflinching patriotism,
spotless character, and his untiring
devotion to his aged parents, won for
him a large number of firm and ardent
friends, which is an inspiring testa
ment of the universal respect in which
he was held.
Many beautiful and appropriate
floral emblems were received from
various societies, friends and relatives.
Harry Cox and Don Larrabec sent a
beautiful bouquet of cut flowers as a
token of respect to their deceased
friend. The P. O. S of A. presented a
scroll; High School Alumni, a pillow;
Women's Relief Corps, cut flowers;
Class of '96, broken column; Mr. and
Mrs. C. G. Schmidt, a very beautiful
bouquet of cut flowers, and Mr. Garrett
and Mrs. May, of Lancaster county,
cut flowers.
The following relatives and friends
from out of town were in attendance
at the funeral. Frank R. Downey
(brother), Harrisburg; Mrs. Ida R.
Smith (aunt), Bath, N. Y.; Edward L.
Garrett (cousin), Christiana, Pa.; Mrs.
John May (cousin), Paradise, Pa.
Geo. J. Laßar had charge of the
funeral and it was conducted with the
neat and artistic manner which char
acterizes the experienced funeral
director.
