MESSAGE FROM THE BURGESS,
i To the Honorable Common Council:
GENTLEMEN:—In assuming the responsibilities
j of my position as your chief executive officer, I
j wish to make but few suggestions at this time.
I desire, however, to call your attention to the
importance of the work done by the Borough
| Board of Health and to suggest that whenever
vacancies occur in that body they should be
filled immediately to the end that the Board of
Health may maintain continuously and perma
nently its high state ol'efficiency and its mem
bers not be allowed to lose interest in their work
through any apparent lack of support or concern
on the part of the Borough Council.
Improvement of Streets.
There is no proper time to waste public funds
| and neither hard times, high taxation, nor low
1 exchequer form any excuse for the wasteful
and unbusinesslike procedure of filling in the
streets with soft earth and the laying of crossings
on our main streets wilh shaky herrloek or any
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 8,1900.
other planking. The tendency of recent Council*
has been, I am happy to state, in the direction of
laying stone crossings and making permanent
improvements in highways, so far as available
funds allow, and in this connection I wish to
assure you, gentlemen, that I am willing and
ready to assist you in this direction so far as the
powers of my office permit. One of the first, if
not the first thing to attract the nttention of
strangers in a town is the condition of its streets,
and such condition is taken as an index to the
business enterprise and prosperity of the citizens.
The rate of taxation, of course, cuts some figure
with intending residents, but while the taxpayers
are usually willing to stand a high tax rate if
they have permanent improvements to show for
their money, and while strangers will move into
an enterprising town where they can do business
regardless of taxation, the other combination
high tax rate, poor streets, shaky improvements
and general pessimism as exemplified by state
ments to the effect that "we are too hard up to
keep our streets and sidewalks in decent condi
tion" will wreck the prospects of any town in a
short time.
Fire Limits.
One of the most important functions of muni
cipal government is the protection of the people,
auainst losses by fire and it seems to me that the
time has come when it would be well for the
Borough Council to prohibit the erection of frame
buildings within certain limits Councils are
given legal authority to do this by the Act of
June 3d, 1885, and said Act has been pronounced
constitutional by the Supreme Court. Several
large hotels, the Post Office, Bank and nearlv all
our principal business houses are situated in one
sol «<1 section and the erection of wooden buildings
in the near proximity is a standing menace,
which it seems unwise to ignore. Any town
where such a condition exists is surely large
enough and important enough to justify the
adoption of such an ordinance. The enforce
ment of such an ordinance can work no injury
or hardship to anyone as the cost of a brink
building is but a trifle more than the cost of a
good wooden building of the same size, when the
difference in the cost of insurance, paint ing and
other items are taken into eonsideratinn. Of
course, I am aware that any brick, stone or so
called fireproof building will burn, but they do
not take fire so readily, neither do they, when 111
conflagration endanger every other building in
the neighborhood as do wooden buildings. If
an occasional individual should deem himself
aggrieved by the passage of such an ordinance it
would be a matter of very little importance as
the restriction of some ofthe rights and privileges
of individuals for the benefit ofthe community
forms one ofthe principles without the opera
tion of which there could be no municipal law or
government whatever.

In Memoriam of \V. H. Hason
Died ftt the residence of his father A.W.Mason, j
near Sterling Run, Pa., Feb. 23rd, 1900, W. H.
Mason, aged 23 years, after an illness of only a |
few days of typhoid fever. He had just returned i
home a few days previous from Pittsburg where |
it was supposed he was injured in a wreck on the
railroad and kept the fact a secret from his fain- :
ily, the injuries of which brougt on the fever re
suiting in his death. He was an exemplary
young man and beloved by all who knew him,
and leaves a wide circle of friends who mourn
his loss.
Back again to the circle brought,
In the dear old place called home,
When the weary steps were growing slow
Life's rugged paths to roam.
For the silent hands from the other shore
Were softly beckoning o'er,
To the one we loved in the memory of life,
Would be known on earth no more.
Back again from the stranger land
In the dear old home to (lie,
For the thoughts would calm the troubled heart, 1
When we knew those we loved was by,
'Twould ease the pain on the fevered brow
And dispel the deepening gloom
Of the chilling waves of the river of death
As it rolls beyond the tomb.
Back again but,'tis silence now,
And the skies are all serene;
The shadows have lengthened to the other shore I
With the waves that rolled between,
And on their bosom the one we loved
Is safely journeyed o'er,
To the endless morn of a brighter day
And the joys of the other shore.

A High Old Time.
Last Monday evening a number of
Emporium friends made a pleasant
visit to the residence of Chas. Weller,
near Gardeau, and enjoyed one of Mr.
Weller's genuine German suppers. In
the party, composed of gentlemen
only, wo noticed Messrs. Geo. J. La-
Bar, Dr. Smith, Jos. Linglc, A. C.
Blum, E. C. Davison, Jos. Kaye, Will
| Kaye, I. K. Hockley, A. Hockley, J.
G. Ear), W. R. Sizer, I). W. Felt, Dr.
' Baker, S. L. Barton, W. H. Howard
and H. H. Mullin.
Mr. Weller received the party in a
most hospitable manner and soon
King Pedro, cigars, etc., monopolized
the attention of all until a late hour
when supper was announced. Well,
those who have partaken of Mr. Wel
ler's hospitality know what that signi
fies. At a late hour in the morning the
"boys" arrived in town and reported a
very delightful visit and a pleasant
sleigh-ride. The "stag" party was a
great success and it is now in order for
the ladies to get even with them.
National Delegates.
Since the withdrawal of Mr. Will
Watson from the the contest for dele
gate to the Republican National Con
vention, in the interest of harmony in
the Republican party of Warren county
the selection of Mr. Nutting seems as
sured, for there is manifested a dispo
sition to concede to him the honor of
representing the district in the con
vention.
Mr. B. W. Green, of Cameron coun
ty, is also a strong candidate for na
tional delegate. He is a prominent
member of the Cameron county bar,
and has always taken a very active
part in the political contests of that
county.
If these two gentlemen shall be elec
ted delegates, which now seems as
sured, the district will be represented
very acceptably in the national con
vention which will be held in Phila
delphia on the 20th of June.
Mr. Nutting will have the strong
endorsement of the Republicans of
Warren county, and Mr. Green is
popular with the Republicans of Cam
eron. Two rueh staunch Republicans,
with the hearty support of their party
back of them, will give the district
more than ordinary prominence in
that national assemblage ot represent
ative Republicans.
We hope to see Messrs. Nutting and
Green chosen as the delegates from
this district, who shall occupy seats in
one of the most important national
conventions of the Republican party
since the days of our civil war.—War

Hurderer Harris Sentenced.
BALTIMORE, March I.—-Harry W.
Harris, who was convicted of murder
in the second degree for killing his
wife, was sentenced by Judge Phillips
in the criminal court to-day to sixteen
years in the penitentiary. Eighteen is
the maximum for this crime.
On October 12 last Harris shot and
killed his wife, Eva, at their home in
this city. The couple had not lived
happily together and Mrs Harris'
father, A. Y. Jones, of Renovo, Pa.,
h.ul arrived in the city on that day to
taice his daughter home with him.
While taking leave of his wife, Har
ris drew a revolver and sent a bullet
through her head causing death in a
few days.
Diploma Granted.
Mr. B. Egan, manager of Emporium
Furniture Company, was recently is
sued a Diploma by the Massachusetts
Coutige of Embalming, of Boston,
Mass. The following letter will be
self-explanatory:
Buffalo, N. Y. Feb. 24th, 1900.
To the Citizens of /emporium, Pa:—
Having spent the greater part of my life in the
undertaking business in Buffalo, I take the liber
ty to reccommend to you Mr. Bernard Egan, of
your city. Knowing that he has attended the
embalming school, held in this city the present
month, and while his stay in Buffalo received
practical instructions from myself in the Art of
Embalming and Undertaking," which makes him
capable to take full charge of any work entrust
ed to his care.
TIMOTHY DRISCOLL.
Popular Evangelist.
Our old friend Frank J. Lewis, "The
Farmer Evangelist," has given the dry
bones a general shaking up and there
are many evidences of good accom
plished through his efforts in Rich Val
ley and surrounding country. There
is 110 occasion to import Evangelists
into this county as long as Frank is
able to be about and uses his sledge
hammer arguments to turn the wick
ed from the devil's camp.
Improving.
In a private letter received from our
friend John J. Hitikle he informs us
that Mrs. Leet, who is confined in the
Presbyterian Hospital at Philadelphia,
is improving nicely and is now per
mitted to see her friends. This will be
good news to the lady's many Cameron
county friends,
An Able Divine.
Rev. W. P. Shriner, Pastor of M. E.
church, of this place, leaves in a few
days for Hazelton to attend Confer
ence. Tlie Rev. gentleman during his
pastorate in Emporium has made a
host of friends among our citizens, re

wish of our people that he be returned
to Emporium, where he has accom
plished much good.

E3K2B
Funeral of Hrs. Delilah Clark.
The PRESS and our citizens generally j
were pained to hear of the death |
of this excellent lady who had so j
many years resided in Emporium. The !
funeral took place at the M. E. Church
last Saturday, at 2:30 p. m., and inter- j
ment was made in Newton, Cemetery, j
51ns. DEULAII QUAY CLARK was born at I
Charleston, three miles west ofPhoenixville. Pa., j
-ept. 4th, 1808, and flietl at Emporium, Pa., Feb.
28th, 1900. She was the daughter of Samuel and |
Abigail Quay and was one of seven children only j
one of whom still survives—Mrs. Sarah Garrett,
of West Chester, Pa. Her father was a farmer.
Her grandfather, Isaac Quay, emigrated from
Ireland. In 1828 she married Morris Clark at
Coatsville. Pa., and of this union there were ten I
fhildren, only two ot whom survive her—Mrs. I
John Tralford, of Ashville, N. C., and Mrs. Isaac |
Bruner, of Philadelphia. Pa. She leaves 18
grand-children and 22 To- ;
gether with her husband she moved to Columbia, i
Pa., in 1852 where her husband was Justice ofthe
Peace for several years and had charge of the j
Columbia Bridge, which was destroyed by tire j
during the Civil war. In 185-1 cholera broke out j
in Columbia and Mrs. Clark and another lady
were the only two who recovered from fifty who |
were stricken with the malady. In the fall of j
1871, her daughter Susan, wife of Wm. F. Lloyd, j
died at Wrightsville, Pa., leaving a family of |
small children. They then moved to Wrights- ,
viile and made their home with Mr. Lloyd audi
family, where her husband died in 1872, in his j
70th year, and was hurried at Columbia, Pa. In j
1871 Mr. Lloyd and Mrs. Clark moved to Empo- !
rium. Pa., where this grand example of true j
womanhood peacefully passed away, loved, res- ,
pected and highly honored. During all these i
years she was a useful anil exemplary
christian, having for 71 years been a devout
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. \
Until the very recent infirmitiesof age prevented !
she was faithful ill her attendance upon all I
church services and was an iterested and devout
participant. Nothing was more marked in
'"Grand-ma" Clark's life than her sweet and
happy christian living. All who came in touch
with her felt the force of her faith and the in
fluence ot her life.
The funeral services last Saturday were in j
charge of her Pastor, Rev. Wilford P. Shriller,
and a large and deeply impressed concourse of i
fi-iends gathered to do honor to her memory. I
The Pastor's able address was a synopsis of her
life and character, from which he drew many
practical and useful lessons.
She has gone from among us but such a life
and character leaves behind an impressive mon- j
ument, for "she being dead yet speaketli."
In addition to W. F. Lloyd and
family, there were a number of rela-j
tives from abroad in attendance,
among whom were: Mrs. Caroline C. j
Brunner,(daughter), Philadelphia; Mrs.
Annie Stewart, Wilmerding, Pa.; Mrs.
Edna Singer, Bellefonte and Frank
Brunner, Philadelphia, Pa. All grand-!
children.
We are indebted to the Williamsport I
Grit for the use of the picture of this j
grand, good lady, whose every-day life j
will bo long remembered by all who !
knew her.
