Census Enumerators. Supervisorof Census, Milton H. Steb bins, of Wellsboro, Pa., writes the PRESS that the following Enumerators have been appointed for Cameron county: No. I.—Sydney G. McElwain, Driftwood, Pa., for Driftwood and Gibson. No. 2. —Adolphus C. Blum, Emporium, Pa. No. 3.—Jackson H. Itaird, Sinnamahoning, Pa., Grove township. No. 4.—Geo. \V. Gentry, Sterling Run. Pa., Lum ber and Portage townships. No. s.—William L. Thomas. Shippen township. Each enumerator will wear a large badge made of silver, and the work that has been assigned him must be completed in thirty days after June Ist. The four principal reports on popula tion, mortality, agriculture and manu facturers, must be printed by July 1, 1902. After that, tabulation of special inquiries will be taken up. The com pensation of Enumerators is fixed by law and a rate of two cents for each living inhabitant, two cents for each death, fifteen cents for each farm, and twenty-five cents for each productive industry is provided for all sub-divsions where such allowance shall be deemed sufficient. In other sub-divisions where j higher per capita rates are to be paid, according to the difficulty of enumera- j tion, the maxium rate will not exceed j three cents for each death, twenty cents i for each farm and thirty cents for each i productive industry, while in sub-di uisions where per diem rates are estab lished, haying reference to the nature j of the region to be canvassed and the '■ density or sparseness of settlement, or ; other considerations pertinent thereto, i the compensations allowed to Enumer- ! ators will not be less than three, nor j more than six dollars per day of ten hours' actual field work each. EMPORIUM One large Sole Leather Tan nery, employing 75 men; one Saw i Mill, cutting 100,000 feet of lum ber per day, employing 80 men; one Iron Blast Furnace, employ ing 140 men; one Furniture Fac- j tory, the Mclnnes Steel Works, i one large Roller Flour and Feed j mill, with a capacity of 150 bbls. | of flour and 50 tons of feed and . meal per day; one steam Feed ; Mill; extensive works of the Emporium Machine Company; the Climax Powder Co.'s plant, j another Powder Manufacturing Co., now being organized and Returned to Puerto Rico. Peter Van Brackle, a native Puerto Rico boy who came to Emporium last Feb.with Mr. Josiah Howard and party, has returned to his native country. Alex. Macdonnell accompanied him to New York city, last Thursday, and saw him aboard the steamship Ponce, bound for San Juan. Peter says: "Big country, much money. Come back 'gain; write? boss for money." We guess boss will say "nit." If he does not v e have a faint suspician that some 1 one else, very near the boss, will. Foot Crushed. Last Saturday a one-armed tramp, I full of Emporium's best fire water, called on our business men, soliciting | ten cents from each—when he could J not get more. When night came lie ■ carried a beautiful load and, as most ! drunks are in the habit of doing, made his bed on the cinder pile at the furnace. During the night the cinder dump struck him, while he was sleeping off his batch of poor whisky, crushing his right foot and injuring his left leg. The Poor Masters were notified, who took him in charge and caused him to be taken to Hospital Parsons, where Dr. Smith dressed hisinjuries. The injured man gives his name as James Melarkev of Shamokin, aged 52 years. Pooi Master J. W. Kriner took him to Lock Haven Hospital 011 Tuesday morning. Emporium tax-payers foot the bill and recover, if we can, from his native county. Will Rebuild. C. A. Van Lew was a PRESS caller on Tuesday and informed us that the Strayer, Rentz & Van Lew mill recently destroyed by fire on Montour's Run would be rebuilt at once. In fact men are already at work. Death's Doings. Mrs. Ines M. Ordiway, died at her home near Port Allegany on Wednes day, May 2nd, aged 32 years. Mrs. Ordiway was daughter of W. Bigler Ilousler of this place, and has been a sufferer of heart decease for a number of years. She is survived by a hus band and three children, who deeply mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. Died in Alaska. Peter Fredette, who left this place six years ago to seek his fortune in Al aska, died at Juneo, April 18th, aged 55 years. Father Downey received a let ter from St Annis Hospital, at Juneo informing him of the death and direct ed the Father to break the sad news to the family of the deceased, who reside at this place. Mrs. Fredette and her four children are indeed to be pitied in their sad condition. Mr. Fredette had been in poor health for two years and died of hemorages of the lungs. He allowed his C. M. B A. insurance to lapse, leaving his family in this cold world without any means of support. The PKESS deeply sympathizes with the widow and fatherless children, as no doubt our people will when thev hear the sad news. another Blast Furnace contem plated. EMPORIUM is situated 011 two railroads, at the terminus of Western New York and Pennsyl vania, and on the Pennsylvania R. R., P. & E. division, direct line from Philadelphia to Erie. Good schools and churches, good water works, unlimited supply of pure water at high pressure, first-class Fire Depart ment. Emporium is the county seat of Cameron county and is bound to grow. Her people are enterprising and industrious and can supply any amount of cheap land for industrial enterprises. Death of Airs. Olive T. Felt. This estimable lady died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S. W. Brewer, this morning at 1:10 o'clock. She was the youngest daughter of Joshua Tal cott, of Chenango county, N. Y., and was born in Smyrna, N. Y., June 15, 1822. Her husband, Mr. Eli Felt, died in Raleigh February 5,1885. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. S. W. I Brewer and Mrs. J. J. Thomas, of this ! city, and four sons, Messrs. J. P., I)e- I Witt and C. H. Felt, of Emporium, Pa , | and E. T. Felt, of Johnstown, Pa. The remains will be taken to Wake \ Forest, tomorrow morning at 11:13, where the funeral services will be held j at noon.—Raleigh,(N. C.) Times, 3d. Mrs. Felt will be pleasantly remem | bered by many of our older citizens i who knew her well when she resided in I Emporium with her husband and fam- | ily - , Oil and Gas Company. 1 For some months a number of gen tlemen, known as the"M. M. &M. Co." have been engaged leasing land near Emporium for oil and gas purposes. On Monday last they located well No. 1 on the N. A. Ostrum farm, West Creek. Chas. Martin, of Kane, has the contract to drill the well and Michael Mead, of same place is erecting the der rick. It is expected the drill will start on its downward course next week. The company is composed of gentle men who have both means and experi ence in the oil business and will thor oughly test this territory. Returned from Canada. "Our greatly esteemed townsman Mr. Henry Auchu, of the ofC. B. Howard & Company, returned!" last Tuesday evening from St. Flavia, Que bec, where he was called on account of the fatal illness of his mother, who passed away last Thursday, in her 75th year. It is a great consolation to Mr. Auchu to know that he arrived in time to be recognized by his aged parent and engage in conversation with her. The funeral took place last Saturday morning. It is only eight months since Mr. Auchu's father died, in his 83rd year. Only two members of the family survive the parents—Mr. Auchu and one brother. New Powder Works. A number of Emporium gentlemen have formed a company for the manu factureofhigh explosives, representing, we are informed, a capital of $50,000. They have purchased 300 acres of land near Emporium, on Catlin Hollow, and commenced last Monday clearing land, building roads, etc., preparatory to erecting the necessary buildings. Thus one more manufacturing plant will be added to Emporium, giving employ ment to a large number of men and boys. We welcome the new company and be peak for them a profitable busi ness. Creamery Leased. Henry A. Gram, of Lodi, 0., has ar rived in town and leased the Emporium Creamery. He expects to have the plant in operation within a few days. EMPORIUM WANTS. New manufactories employing anywhere from 10 to 500 men each. We want a Woolen Mill, a Shirt Factory, a Carriage Fac tory, a Shoe Factory, a Belt Factory, Kindling Wood Fac tory, a Brush Factory, a Hub and Spoke Factory, a Sash, Door and Blind Factory and various others. Correspondence solicited. Address, E. O. BARDWELL, M. D., Mayor. or T. B. LLOYD, Cashier First National Bank, Sec'y Board of Trade. Emporium, Cameron Co., Pa. The Baccalaureate Service. The Baccalaureate service, for the graduating class of 1900 of the Empor ium High School, was held in the M. E. Church, last Sunday evening. The regular form of service was observed, the local Glee Club, under the able di rection of Hon. I. K. Hockley, furnish ed the music, which was extremely delightful, demonstrating the fact that Emporium possesses vocal talent that is difficult to surpass. Rev. McCaslin, of the Presbyterian Church, offered the opening prayer and read the Scripture lesson from the New Testament, and Rev. Robertson, Rector of Episcopal Church, read the lesson from Psalms, and offered the concluding prayer. These Reverend gentlemen acquitted themselves nicely in the performance of their respective parts 011 this occasion. Rev. Metzler, in his usual sincere Christian manner and method, deliv ered the sermon to the class, and un consciously made a great hit with our people. We say he did it unconsciously because he is too sincere a man to dis course for the purpose of making a hit. He used for his text, St. John 18. 37. "Art thou a king? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that lam a king. To thi3 end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world that I should bear wit ness unto the truth." The theme was "character," and the eloquence and uniqueness with which the brilliant points were brought out, by flitting illustrations, could hardly be enlarged upon. The subject thus ably presented, was one from which | any of the large audience might ex- I tract a valuable lesson, and from the numerous expressions of satisfaction, j by those in attendance, we are sure it had a very striking moral effect The class of 1900 could do 110 better than follow closely the beautiful example of tho character so tersely portrayed in the sermon. N. Seger is offering some of the greatest bargains in clothing and fur nishings ever heard of before in this county,and what he tells you in regard to the quality is as good as a guarantee. Ilackett's mill has been shut down several days on account of no logs. TERMS: $2.00—51.50 IN ADVANCE. Cameron County Highly Honored. The PRESS, we regret, failed to men tion in our last issue the high compli ment paid Cameron county by the Republican State Convention, when* they named our fellow citizens, B. W Green, Esq., of Emporium, Delegate- and Capt. C. F. Barclay, of Sinnamahoning, Alternate-Delegate at-Large to the Republican National Convention, to assemble in Philadel phia, June 19th. This groat compli ment is highly appreciated by tin Republicans of this county, more especially so when it is taken into con sideration that our little county liaei only once been honored, then only with a district delegate. The great Republican party of Pennsylvania has-, complimented our county through the* election of Mr. Green and Mr. Barclay., both representative and honorable gentlemen, and we bespeak an old time Republican majority in little Cameron, thereby showing our friends: throughout the State that we appreci ate the greatest compliment that has* ever been accorded one county i:i the history of the Republican party of Pennsylvania—two delegates to the Nation's Party Council. The PRESS, and those friends who labored for the election of Mr. Green and Capt. Bar clay, have reason to ieel proud. The PRESS had ordered and expected? in time for this issue, portrait cuts of our delegates, who will participate in and assist in the re-nomination of the., greatest President since Abraham Lin coln, William McKinley. Our en graver has disappointed 11s, the great rush of orders rendering it impossible to fill our order. Republicans of Cameron, let us show to our brothers throughout the State that we are worthy of the confidence they have reposed' in us. Let us bury for all time, all factional differences, is any exist, and march as one solid col umn with the great Captain who will lead the grandest party that ever ex isted on God's green earth, tovicroßV —county, State and Nation.
