Promising Outlook. Supt. A. Brady reports the output of the Emporium furnace last week to be the largest in the history of that plant. Also the largest single day's run oc curred thp same week. Emporium furnace is one of the best operated by | C. R. Baird & Co., and its future is I very promising. Swine and (iossipers. Swine enjoy rooting in mud and filth., j So some people enjoy hearing and j spreading scandal. They are as eager \ for the latest gossip as turkey buzzards ! are for a dead horse. But remember, j the gossipers who tell you about others j will not spare you. Shun them. Let 1 the gossipers know as little about your- I self as possible. Don't be a gossiper or a scandal monger. It is an evidence of j a low mind. Don't root in the mud. ! It will stick to you. Death's Doings. GILLON. The many Cameron county friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Gillon will be j pained to learn of the death of their ; son, and only child, JOHN SYLVESTER, J aged two years and nine months,which j occurred at Philadelphia last Saturday, ! of scarlet fever. Dr. Smith of this j place, was called to see the sick child j on Friday, but it had passed the aid of i human skill. We regret to hear that | j Mrs. Gillon is now confined to her bed j I with the same disease. Mrs. Gillon I was formerly one of the teachers in our | public schools and will be pleasantly remembered as Miss Anna Brown. Will flaintain Hemlock Prices. At a meeting of the hemlock lumber manufacturers and wholesale dealers at Williamsport Tuesday, tho lumber j situation was discussed. Reports were ! presented of the stock of dry lumber on hand in Pennsylvania, and the amount manufactured since January 1 last, to date, and the same showed that the stock on hand was very much depleted. Taking this into consideration, along with the advance in price of mcmlocl: timber lands, the increased cost of labor, material and supplies for lumbering I operations, it was unanimously agreed that the price of hemlock should be , maintained. Hurdcr Case. What was doubtless a murder of a | cold-blooded character, was disclosed at Tyler, Clearfield county, Tuesday of I last week, by the discovery in a pond !of the body of a boy baby. District Attorney Woodward is investigating, ! and it is reported here that arrests which will involve quite promising j parties aro to be made. Tho body of ; the child, which Dr. Sullivan found by a post mortem examination had been 1 born well and healthy, was entirely , naked when found. It was doubtless tossed into the water and drowned. Tue child was found i i a little pond close by a pump used by the Tyler Mining Company, and at a point quito remote from any dwelling. There were no marks of violence on the body, and water in tho lungs is evidence indispu table that tho baby died in the pond. Tiie discovery of the brutal crime has created intense excitement and indig nation. The authorities have in nowise indicated whom they suspect of tho baby's murder, but tho populace de clare the matter must bo cleared up and the guilty parties punished. It can hardly be believed that the mother of a child would herself bo guilty of so horrible a crime. Birthday Party. Forty-one years ago Saturday W. L. Sykes, one of Galeton's most promi nent business men, first saw light of day at Round Island, Clinton county, Pa., and Saturday evening thirteen of his friends gave him a surprise party at his pleasant home on Main street, to remind him of the fact. After light refreshments had been served, Mr. Sykes was presented with a mahogany office chair. The whole evening was spent,in an enjoyable manner. Mr. Sykes' life has been filled with years of usefullness, and that he may be sp.iv d to continue the good work is the wish of all. Gnleton Dispatch ISRIEF HENTION. By examining the columns of this issue of the PRESS you will observe a change in F. X. Blumle's ad. The trustees of the M. E. Church are making some needed changes in the lino of buildings in the rear of the parsonage. An improvement worthy of mention. The attention of the Board of Health is kindly directed to a stench in the lo cality of tlio P. & E. railroad in Middle ward. We are F.ure a word in this di rection is sufficient. \V. W. Weeks, of Port Allegany, was in Emporium last Thursday evening, returning home Friday. He had been to Harrisburg attending, as delegate, a meeting of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of Pennsylvania. Mr. Lemuel Quinn, of DuF.ois has been appointed conductor of all trains on the Clarion River R'y. Ho made his first trip over the road in his official capacity on Saturday last. Mr. Quinn is an able railroad man who had many friends through Elk county during the time he filled a similar position for the Pennsylvania R. R. -St. Marys Gazette. You have often heard of the printers' towel, no doubt. Well, we have one, a marvel, indeed. It is almost human in some respects, it can talk—in its own language (a polecat need not speak english to apprise you of its having been 'roud); it can 3tand alone, and we arc sure it could walk were it not too stiff. Perhaps rheumatism caused this unfortunate stiffness. The old Spanish cannon which the federal government loaned to Bradford was discovered Wednesday to contain a leaded shell. The piece was taken outside the city and the shell fired. It is probably the first Spanish shell ever fired in Northern Pennsylvania. The wonder is that the shell was not ex ploded by accident on its journey from Porto Rico to Bradford. The cannon was mounted and placed in the public square yesterday. Gen. Charles Miller, of Franklin, Pa., one of the most genial gentlemen it has ever been our pleasure to meet, is mak ing a lively contest for Department Commander of tho G. A. 1!., tobechos en at Gettysburg, Juno Oth. He is a brisk hastier, full of good common sense and the means to make his de- , partment satisfactory to the "old boys" ! without passing around tho hat. His 1 selection would be satisfactory to all j interested. The Punxsutawney Spirit truthfully says: ''lt isn't really to a man's credit to be so peace-loving that he will sub mit to indignities rather than resent them. And a good citizen will not re frain from making information against a neighbor who violates a law, simply to avoid contention. We must accept the unpleasant responsibilities of lif'eas well as the pleasant ones, and a little scraping goe.s in with the rest. There is a difference between being ugly and contentious and standing up for what is right, and there is such a thing as being too easy. We should try to avoid both extremes. W. N. Y. & P. Rumor. it is understood that a few Western New York & Pennsylvania stockhold ers have not accepted the offer of the Pennsylvania, as they believe that un der the management of that company, the valu - of the stock will increase and eventually be put on a dividend basis. The acquisition of this line adds 644 miles more to the Pennsylvania Hail road mileage. It is said as soon as all arrangements can be made, that it is to become part of the Allegheny Valley Railroad. This road is controlled by the Pennsylvania, but is operated sep arately, having its own Board of Di rectors and executive officials. The payment for the slock and bondp is to be made by the Pennsylvania on June loth. Buffalo Commercial. If you want to Lend Money, Advertise in tho PRESB. MEMORIAL SERVICES €ai holie ami Emmanuel Cliurcli Ser vices Solemn aii;i Elaborate. Eloquent Addresses by Father Dow ney and Rector Robertson. Memorial services in Emporium were this year held in St. Mark's Catholic Church, last Sunday morning, and at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in the evening. The day was fine aud our people all turned out to pay due respect to the living defenders of our country, and to honor the memories of the dead heroes. ST. MARK'S CHURCH. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock two hun dred children, representing the St. Mark's Sunday School, under the tnar shalship of Mr. F. X. Blumle, marched to the Post room, corner of Broad and Fourth streets and escorted the mem bers of Lieut. D. W. Taggart Post and the Woman's Relief Corps to the Church. At ihe Church door the chil dren opened ranks, the line extending to the chancel of the Church, when the veterans and the ladies entered the Church, each beinc presented with a beautiful bouquet, as they took their seats—the choir at the same time sing ing "America." Throughout the im pressive service the vast audience, composed of all denominations were deeply interested and impressed. After the celebration of High Mass, Rev. Fath er Downey addressed the congregation in an eloquent manner. We had hoped to publish the address in full and we must confess we are greatly disappointed in not being able to do so. Father Downey's extreme modesty would not allow it, although we urgently requested the manuscript. Our readers, no doubt, will be more than disappointed, especially those who were unfortunate enough to not hear the learned gentleman's remarks. The interior of Father Downey's Church was handsomely decorated especially for the occation, with flags and bunting, and red, white and blue lighted candles in large numbers were placed upon all the altars. The singing throughout the service was of a high order and intensely charming. The service closed with "The Star Spangled Banner," as the great audience dis persed. It was a red letter day for St. Mark's Church and its patriotic Father. KMMANUEL CHURCH. Emmanuel Episcopal Church, when the hour for service arrived, was crowded with our citizens of every de nomination. Promptly at 7:30 the Sur pliced Choir of 20 voices entered the Church and slowly proceeded to the chancel, when the regulation service was observed,all cordially joining in the service. A delegation of Lieut. D. W. Taggart Post, CI. A. R., and Ladies Re lief Corps occupied seats reserved for the occasion. Rev. Mr. J. M. Robert son, the Rector, never appeared to better advantage and held his large congregation in wrapt attention. The Rev. gentleman spoke from the follow ! ing text: "For our citizenship is in heaven."— Phil. iii. 20. (It. V.) The occasion which we observe this evening is one which appeals to our noblest sentiments of gratitude, admi ration and patriotism, it. gives me sincere pleasure to extend a cordial greeting to the veterans of the (Jrand Army, to the Ladies of the Relief Corps and to the other friends who have kindly favored us with their presence this evening. Wecountitan honor to add our tributes, however feeble, t<> the praise which is the just need of these veterans and of their de parted comrades, nor is it out of keep ing with this place that at such a time as this we should speak of the cause for which they fought. If that cause was a just and holy cause, • we believe it was, it surely must speak tom some message of heavenly things. In speaking of that cause, we shall ■ do so in. no spirit of sectional partisan- I ship. These memorial occasions awak ' en no echoes of past si rife orbitterness. The chasm between North and South is olosed. The men in blue and tin men in gray are brothers. We quest ion theloy;. s.v of the veterans of the lost ! cause as little as we ev< r questioned I their skill and bravery in battle. In j deed, we feel proud of the glory which they won, for it is all in the family. | The recent Spanish war—whieh by the I (Continued on Fourth past*.) TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE. I2OGAL NOTICES.
