years, eight months and 22 days,
died suddenly of heart failure, .it the
family residence in Rich Valley, Thurs
morning, May 10th. The funeral took

Railroad Rumors.
It will not be surprising if fast vesti- j
i buled trains are running through Lock
j Haven in the near future. This will be
I a possibility when the Pennsylvania
| Company obtains control of the West
j ern New York & Pennsylvania road 5
| giving the Penn'a a through route to
| Buffalo, which cannot be, however,
until after May 26, as the stockholders
| and bondholders of the W. N. Y. & P.
have until that date to accept there- 1
| cent offer of the Pennsylvania railroad
I for the purchase of their lines. There
; is no doubt that the offer will be ac
cepted.
Superintendent Westfall has inform
ed the Williamsport Sun that he thinks
more through trains will be put on,
but knows nothing about vestibuled
: trains. He stated that anything might
happen after the 26th of May. It is
also rumored that the general offices at
Williamsport will be removed to Buf
falo.—Lock Haven Republican.
Both Lef.s Taken Off.
Renovo News, Tuesday.
Patrick Stanton, a brakeman on the
Philn. & Erie, met with a terrible ac
cident near Karthaus on the Susque
hanna & Clearfield railroad this morn
ing. Stanton was attempting to board
his train near the middle when he
slipped and both legs were taken off
before the train was stopped. One of
the members was servered below and
the other above the knee, the accident
being considered fatal.
The unfortunate young man was
l placed on a special car to be taken to
j Renovo and died on the way.

A Clash.
Last Sunday evening the furnace
yard engine attempted to pass a \V. N.
Y. & P. train of cars while the latter
was standing in the yard. As a result
the furnace engine and one car was
badly demoralized. The W. N. Y.

engine until they could repair the in
jured "Dinkey."

High School Alumni Banquet.
One of the most enjoyable occasions
of the Commencement season this year
was the third annual banquet of the
Alumni in the City Hall, last Thursday
evening. The dining hall was taste
fully arranged. Potted plants and the
Alumni colors constituted the chief
decorations. Much comfort was added
to the guests in the reception room by
the easy chairs and couches of every
description kindly furnished by Direc
tor Egan.
At nine o'clock the members with
their guests began to arrive, and were
ushered into the parlors by the recep
tion committee. When the time for
feasting had come all, to tho number of
sixty, marched into the dining room
led by the President and the Secretary
of the Alumni, and marching to the
sweet strains of the High School Or
chestra. There for two hours was en
joyed a programme of feast and fun to
the delight of every one. Suffice it to
say that the feast was one of the best
ever given and all were loud in their
praises to Mrs. Josiah Howard under
whose supervision the Banquet was giv
en. After the menu was served,
"Auld Lang Syne" was sung by their
entire number—the singing was a
"howling" success—then followed the
reception of the Class of 1900 as mem
bers of tho Alumni and response by
the President of tho Class, after which
the following Programme was delight
fully rendered:

Howard-Cush.
Mr. Chas. J. Howard and Miss Mabel
Cash, of this place, wore quietly mar
ried at Oloan, N. Y., last Tuesday, Rev.
Dr. Ashton, Rector of St. Stephen's,
officiating. The young couple were
accompanied to Olean by Miss Byrde
Taggart, Mr J. W. Kayo, Mrs. Ed.
Cusli and Mrs. D. L. Robbins. After
the ceremony the happy young couple
started on a brief visit to Rochester
and other Northern New York points,
after which they will return to Empo
rium. The bride for several years has
been one of Emporium's popular school
teachers and a general favorite. The
groom is the eldest son of Mrs. Eliza
beth Howard and, having a bright fu
ture before him, no doubt will make an
energetic business man. Tho PRESS
extends its best wishes to the happy
couple.
Caught His Man.
Some time ago Michael Warner left
Driftwood and forgot to pay Fred Mc-
Yicker a $26.00 board bill. A warrant
was sworn out by Mr. McVieker and
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Harry Hemphill, who located the chap
at Austin, keeping a "pig s ear." Last
Monday Mr. Hemphill went to Austin
and arrested his man, who gave bail
for his appearance at court at Empori
um next July. Sheriff Hemphill al
ways catches his game when he goes
after it.

Last Saturday afternoon was an im

Tho Democrats don't want to support
Mr. Sibley for Congress because ho is

because they love Mr. Emery more,
