EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 15,1900.
House Burglary.
Last Sunday evening while a prom
inent young couple, who reside on
Fourth street, were out calling, some
one entered their apartments and
rifled the bureau draws, etc. A close
investigation disclosed the fact that
two pocket books, containing some
thirteen dollars in currency, some
calling cards and valuable papers had
been pilfered from their bedroom, and
thsT 4 the back door had been left open,
leav ig the impression that the thief
had o tered that way.
Rightly placing suspicion where it
belonged, they began an investigation
and were rewarded by finding the
stolen goods and a latch key to the
main door, which had mysteriously
disappeared some time ago, and by
which entrance was affected, in the
guilty person's possession.
The matter was quietly settled by
the culprit promising to return the
goods which was done on Tuesday.
| This should be a lesson to the guilty
• ape, as house burglary is a serious
flense before the law.
Costly Hardwood Lumber.
Out beyond Forest House there is a
deep defile in the hills, the only outlet
being a narrow, rocky gorge through
which a small stream passes over prec
ipices in a southerly direction. Down
in this defile have grown for time un-
I known to Potter county pioneers a
I score or more fine ash trees, probably
j the finest specimens ever grown in
| that section. Recently the Emporium
Lumber Co. conceived the idea of get
i ting the trees for their mill at Forest
j House and converting them into lum
] ber. Accordingly the owner was in
-1 terviewed and the trees were purchased
jat fifty dollars apiece. They were cut
and drawn up the declivity by means
! of tackle blocks and ropes, several
| horses serving as a motor power. The
' expense of getting a tree to mill, was
about fifty dollars more. The editor
of this paper, while at Forest House a
day or two ago, took opportunity to
see it, and probably no finer ash lum
ber was everplaced onithe market. The
lumber is dark, the grain very fine and
is of a wavy or curly nature.—Port
, Allegany Reporter.

An Ugly Weapon.
Wm. A. Dalryinple has been exhibit
ing to his friends, during the past week,
a very ugly looking weapon, in the
shape of a Spanish Matchette.the favor
ite arm of the Puerto Rican and Cuban
insurgents in their wars against Spain.
It has the appearance of a very large
butcher-knife, with a blade about 20
inches long and varying from 1:J to 2',
inches wide, with a saber taper, and
weighs about five pounds. It is made
I in Spain, of the finest tempered steel
I and adorned with a horn handle. It is
a present from Josiah Howard, who
j recently returned from Cuba and
Puerto Rico.
In addition to this matchette Mr.
' Dalrymple has received two fighting
: cocks and it looks very much as though
he was preparing to meet Pap Blodget
■ and his delegation from Sinnemahon
| ing when they arrive in Emporium
\ this spring, on their annual visit to the
Emporium Liars Club.
Entertainment.
Mrs Fox, who gives a recital at the
Presbyterian church next Tuesday
evening, under the auspices of the Y.
P. S. C. E., comes to us so highly
recommended that we bespeak for the

The following is Mrs. Fox's program:
"Buying a Feller," "Teddy O'Rourke,"
"Skimsey," "How Girls Study,"
"Miser's Fate," "Uncle Peter and the
Trolley Car," "The Debating Society,"
together with five selections of music
by our very best musical talent. Mrs.
Fox says:"The numbers I have
selected are among the best in my
repertoire."
We have a few bargains in winter
clothing at a sacrifice.

that Claud LeFevre, who was employ
ed at the City Bakery at this place last
fall, but who afterward enlisted in the
46th Reg., for service in the Philip

ceived from him this week he states
that he is still alive and well and ex
pects to re-enlist when his time is up
and remain among the Filipinos until
they are restored to quiet

A Potter County Man Commits Mur
der Near Tacoma.
TACOMA, Wash., March 9.—Frank
Sprague shot and killed Mrs Guy T.
Gale and then killed himself at Gale's
logging camp about seven miles from
Tacoma. Sprague arrived here Sun
day from Cross Fork, Potter county,
Pa , where, it is claimed, he met Mrs.
Gale and was a suitor for her hand
before she married Gale last November
Sprague took a boat for the logging
camp and soon found his way to the
Gale house. Gale was in the woods at
that time, but went to the house on an
errand and was informed by Mrs. Gale
that Sprague was inside but would
soon depart. Mrs. Gale re-entered the
house and was at once shot by Sprague.
The victim staggered out of the house
and died in her husband's arms.
Sprague then came to the door, but
I seeing Gale turned back and shot
himself.
j Mrs. Gale's maiden name was Gertie
, Richardson, and she has a mother and
| brother living at Cedar Run, Lycoming
1 county, Pa.
