William E. lioebel.
A sketch in the Philadelphia Times,
of the late William Gocbel, of Ken
tucky, who was born in Sullivan
county, this state, says: "Goebel
never smiled; he never listened to a
funny story; he never smoked; he
never drank intoxicants; he never
married. He was an athiest; he was
born of humble parents, he was a
newsboy, a jeweler, a lawyer, a State
Senator, a murderer and a Governor.
He was the victim of his own supremely
selfish, unbridled ambition. As he
killed John Sanford, the Covington
banker, in a political feud, so was he
killed by one who followed in his
steps. Ho had one redeeming trait in
his cold, unfeeling, audacious and un
scrupulous nature. He loved his
mother devotedly. The stepping
stones on which he sought to obtain
power were men's passions and pre
judices. They were fatal to him.
The Election.
The elections in this county passed
off quiet V and a very small vote waa
polled. In Emporium and Shippen
township there was little excitement,
the Republicans electing their entire
Borough and ward tickets, with the
exception of poor master, Jos.Lechner,
Dera , having seven majority over U.
A. Palmer, and Judge of Election in
the east ward. The nominations were
exceptionally strong on both sides and
the battle was quietly but closely eon
tested.
The election of Dr. Bardwell as
Chief Burgess is very gratifying to his
many friends and his defeat of ex
postmaster Hogan, an old-line Demo
cratic war horse, is rather more than
was expected, yet the defeated Tam
many (Jhief takes the verdict in good
humor and bows to the will of the
people.
The Right Stuff.
The Warren Mirror, alluding to the
candidacy of Hon. O. C. Allen, for
Congress, says: "His Republicanism
| has never been questioned. He has
! no changes to make, no "coats to
turn." He is a 100-cent-on-the-dollar,
24-caret-flne Republican, without alloy,
not a whitewashed, silver or gold
plated Democrat.
"He now stands and always has
stood flat-footed and square-toed on
the Republican platforms. He has
battled and fought for Republican
principles and espoused the policies of
the Republican party at all times.
Never has there been a question, the
least doubt as to his attitude towards
national or state policies, as formu
lated by the Republican party in its
conventions.
Standing at the head of Warren
county Republicans he needs no long
newspaper apologies to set him right
with the party, for he has nothing to
explain, simply to say: "I am a Re
publican," and everybody, everywhere
knows exactly where he stands.
Reared here on stalwart soil, and
like most of our statesmen, he has
been a Republican from choice and
principle through his entire useful and
successful life. This is the man who
should represent this district in Con
gress, and lie is the choice of Warren
county."
BRIEF HENTION.
The Borough election, while quiet,
developed many surprises.
Ask for Ja-ma-ka coffee; the finest
you ever drank for the money; 20c lb.
DAY'S.
The Goodyears have been granted a
charter for a railroad from Wharton to
Sinnamahoning. Capital stock §160,-
000.
Potter coui ty voted to repeal their
prohibitory license law by 900 majority.
Coudersport gave 24 majority against
repeal, so that town will be dry under
the act.
The Ithaca Conservatory Concert
Company at the Presbyterian church
last evening attracted a large and ap
preciative audience. It was the finest
musical entertainment ever given in
Emporium.
The chemical works of Quinn &
Sherman, at Straights, Elk county,
were destroyed by fire Sunday night,
involving a loss of §55,000 011 which
there was an insurance of §35,000. The
works will be rebuilt at once. Srneth
port Democrat.
Mrs. Dan'l Downey yesterday re
ceived a cheek from the New York
Life Insurance Company for §I,OOO in
payment of the policy on the life of
Olivine Downey. Ten days from date
of filing claim the draft was issued,
through the promptness of Don 51.
Larrabee the company's agent.
The Postofflce Department at Wash
ington will soon issue books of two
cent postage stamps. The book will
contain 12 stamps enclosed in covers
with oiled papers between. The books
will bo sold for 25 cents and the gov
ernment will net §8 on every thousand
sold.
An old and true saying avers that a
wise man changes his mind on proper
occasion, but a fool never does; prob
ably because he has no mind to change.
Congressman J. C. Sibley, of Pennsyl
vania, has demonstrated that he does
not belong to the foolish class.—Chicago
Inter-Ocean.
Beware of women who are going
trom house to house selling what they
claim to be genuine hand-made Irish
lace. An exchange states that the
articles are nothing but cheap cotton
and machine made. The peddlers tell
a smooth story about their goods and
have succeeded in disposing of a con
siderable quantity in many places.
"What is home without a news
paper?" asked an exchange, to which
another replied: "It is place where
old hats are stuffed into broken win
dows; where the wife looks like a bag
of wool with a string tied around her
center; where the husband has a to
bacco panorama printed on his shirt
front and the neglected children wipe
their noses on their jacket sleeves."
Did you ever stop to think that an
ordinary pack of playing cards is a
perfect caiandar? There are 52 cards,
representing the number of weeks in
the year; 365 spots corresponding to
the 365 days in the year; 12 faced cards,
representing the 12 months; four suits,
club, spade, heart, diamond, represent
ing the four seasons; 13 cards in each
suit, representing the 13 moons in each
year, and the joker makes up for the
extra day in the year.
The tiger is the most ferocious of all
back-biters. He leaps stealthily upon
the back of a passing animal and sinks
his fangs into the creature's flesh. He
holds on with teeth and claws and con
tinues the attack until the victim, ex
hausted and helpless, falls and horribly
dies. The back-biter of the human
species never lets go, either, until the
character that has been assailed is des
troyed. The tiger is treacherous, mer
ciless and cowardly in its methods.
The human back-biter has similar in
stincts.—Bradford Era.
A Carlisle, Pa., dispatch says that
William Colombo, an Indian graduate
of the Carlisle school and a private in
the 4tli United States Cavalry, now
serving in the Philippines, has written
a letter to Maj. Bratt, superintendent
of the school in which he says: "Gen.
Lawton was killed about twenty yards
from where I stood firing at a man
who was shooting from a tree, and 110
was the very man who killed the Gen
eral I kept firing until ho fell from
the tree."
Prospecting for gold on the Barlow
farm, near Genesee, Pa., has assumed
I an important and interesting phase.
The mine is directly on the line of the
New York and Pennsylvania Railroad,
which runs between Genesee and
Ellisburg and attracts the especial at
tention of south central Allegany
towns. A 40-foot shaft has been sunk
on the peak of a hill, which rises 500
feet above Ellisburg creek, and is reck
oned to be 2,500 feet above sea level.—

Seger-Backus.
The marriage of Mr. W. T. Seger,
son of our townsman R. Seger, to Miss
Lucy Backus, at Smethport yesterday
afternoon was a happy occasion. The
wedding took place at the residence of
the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary A.
Backus, the ceremony being performed
by Father Donahue. About one hun
dred guests were present and the pop
ularity of the contracting parties was
manifested by the cordial congratula
tions of those present. Mr. Fred
Seger, of Emporium, and Miss King,
of Smethport; acted as best man
and bridesmaid. Elegant refreshments
were served and all enjoyed the happy
hours until six o'clock when Mr. and
Mrs. Seger left for Washington and
other points to pass their honeymoon.
The bride is a daughter of the late
Capt. John C. Backus, once a promi
nent Smethport attorney, and is a
popular young ladv. The groom is
engaged in business at Smethport and
is a hustling young man. The PRESS
regrets the lateness of the hour renders
it impossible to give a more extended
notice of the pleasant occasion, yet we
wish the happy couple great happiness
in this world.
A number of Emporiumites attended
the wedding, including Mrs. R. Seger,
Miss Ida Seger, Miss Clara Seger, Mrs.
Chas. Seger, and ye editor and wife.
A number of former Emporiumites,
now residents of Smethport, were also
guests.
