Dan Odell, of North L T nion street, had a stroke of paralysis Monday morning, between Sand 9 o'clock,which rendered his whole right side useless, besides depriving him of his speech. His condition is very serious and he may not be able to withstand the shack. At any rate he is helplessly cvippled for life.—Olean Democrat. Mr. Odell, who was formerly a resi dent of Emporium, is father to Ora Odell, of this place. Up to this (Tues-1 day) we have been unable to learn the ! lull particulars of Mr. Odell's misfor-! tune, but shall endeavor to ascertain j his condition before going to press. We hope our old friend will rally from ! the shock and live many years. LATER.—At the hour of going to press we learn from the relatives of, Mr. Odell, in this place, that he is' slowly recovering and is not as bad as 1 reported above. We are glad to learn this. Sherwood-Darrin. In our last issue of the PRESS a brief mention was made of the marriage of Miss May Damn, at Sterling Run, to Mr. Mark C. Sherwood, of Ellsburg, Pa., at the residence of our old friend J. H. Darrin, Wednesday morning. 1 June 27, li) 00, Rev. M. C. Piper, of Sin namahoning, Pastor of M. E. Church, officiating. A friend kindly sent us the particulars of the pleasant wed ding, but too late for publication, we gladly give space to same in this issue: Promptly at 8:00 o'clock, a. m., the bridal party, consisting of Mr. George Darrin and Miss Minnie Shepliard, as bride's maid and groomsman, followed by.the bride and groom, entered the guest chamber, which was beautifully decorated, and there in the presence of many witnesses the sacred knot was tied. The bride was dressed in cream albatross, trimmed with white satin. After many congratulations was ex tended the bridal party with their host of friends partook of a sumptuous wed ding breakfast. Everything was un usually pleasant and in order. The ! bride and groom left on the evening train on their wedding tour. The writer joins with their many friends in wishing them much joyand happiness. The New Road. The new road that starts at the foot j of Broad street, which is intended to reach the top of Whittemore Hill, Bry an Hill, Moore Hill and Mason Hill i will be an achievement of the enter prise and pluck of the people of Em-1 porium. There are men who always i want to get to the top of the hill by , means of a "pull"; but while they are | looking around for somebody to pull I them up, the rran on the road who ! plods steadily onward generally reach-' es the top while the other man is still ; hunting for the pull. Stick to the i Broad street road until it reaches the j tops of the hills. When it is finished ! it may be a little winding, and some- j times dusty, and it may not always be picturesque; but you can't get lost on it and there will be no danger of step ping off'the end, for honest work is the only "sure thing" that will take you to the top of the bills. Again, some men j are hunting for a short road to fortune iin speculation. Ninety-nine out of j every hundred men who start out on ; that trail are either led over a preci" pice or into the boggy lands by that I"a sure thing." If you'keep in the old road of honesty, decision, concentra tion of purpose, industry, economy; and by putting your savings in a bank or by securing a Home Savings bank, the end of the road on the hills is suc cess. TO PHILADELPHIA. riany W. N. Y. & P. Clerks Will be Affected by the Reorganization —Ordered togo to Phila delphia. , From information gleaned by a Com mercial representative it is probable that the official announcement of the absorption of the Western New York & Pennsylvania and Allegheny Valley roads by the Pennsylvania and the re organization and unification of the same will not develop anything new outside of what has already appeared in these columns. The removal of the auditor's, treasurer's and car-service departments to Philadelphia will ne cessitate the transfer of about thirty five men, officials and clerks included. The employes have received infor mation that if they desireto retain their positions in these offices they will have to move to Philadelphia. The operating department will be in charge of George W. Creigliton, who is spoken of as a very accomplished and talented railway man. The duties of traffic officers will be territorially divided so a3 not to con flict, and there will not be any material change in this department. This will be good news to the friends of the traffic officials. For eighteen solid years General Pas senger Agent J. A. Fellows has worked with vim and vigor to bring the pas senger end of the W. N. Y. & P. up to a high standard and he has accom plished it. Today the passenger service of this road compares favorably with that of any in the country.— Buffalo Commercial. Letter from Isaac Barber. Our old friend, and one of Cameron's most respected citizens, Isaac Barber, of Sinnamahoning, has gone to Michi. gan to visit friends and try his luck fishing and hunting. In a recent letter to Mr. O. L. Bailey, Mr. Barber writes, under date of June 29th, from Oscoda, Mich., and says:"l arrived at Batten felder's Friday morning and went fish ing after dinner, about eighty rods from the house. I caught about six pounds of trout, one measuring 17A inches long and weighed four pounds. You thought the trout I caught in Jerry Run a large one, but it was nothing compared with this. I am very well pleased with this country, as far as I have seen it. Battenfelder's are all well. lam the first person from Penn sylvania to visit them." A Day's Outing. Last Friday, Mr. Ilenry Auchu, Pres ident of the Emporium & Rich Valley R. R , invited Dr. Good, of Philadel phia, John J. Hirtkle and ye editor to accompany him over the road and view I their extensive lumber operations. All hands enjoyed the day's outing and | especially the grand ride over the mountains. It is a grand sight and more of our citizens should avail them ! selves of the privilege before the lum ber is removed from Bobby Run. The new line up Cook's Run opens up a I large body of timber—hemlock and I hardwood. The road is well built and | the ride is a pleasant ono to take. We I must not forget to mention the elegant i dinner served at Smith's camp, on | Cook's Run, but we shall not mention j how much we ate—hungry men always | relish a good meal, especially in a lum ber camp. Howard & Company feed their men the best the market affords and actually serve pic —raisin pie. Gosh! but it was good and would put to blush some of the pie eaters or makers. I But, we had a good time and we regret our inability to do full justice, in this short description, of the grandeur of a ride through the virgin timber. Our readers can rest assured we did to the pie. We desire to thank Mr. Auchu, the Company's foreman Jos. J. Lingle, the trainmen and the cooks for their kind ness to the party. Advertise in the PRESS n Society Notes. six O'CLOCK DINNER. ; Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Leet elegantly entertained a number of friends at a six o'clock dinner i few evenings ago. It was a pleasant occasion we; are in formed. DUPLICATE WHIST. Prothonotary C. Jay Goodnough and wife gave a duplicate whist to a number of friends last Tuesday even ing. Four tables were matc.ied and playing continued until mid-night when substantial refreshments were served. The evening's entertainment was hugely enjoyed by all present. YOUNG PEOPLE ENTERTAINED. Miss Alice Montgomery, on the evening of the Fourth, pleasantly en tertained a numbar of her young friends, at the pleasant residence of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Green, on Sixth street. HELPED US CELEBRATE. Several friends helped ye editor and wife celebrate the jolly Fourth during the evening. All men were boys once again and enjoyed the fire cracker just as enthusiastically as of yore. FIVE O'CLOCK TEA. Last Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Tlios. Gallagher entertained several friends at five o'clock tea. * i* PLEASANT OCCASION. Mi\ and Mrs. Henry Auchu enter tertained a number of personal friends last Saturday evening right royally. All enjoyed the occasion. PLEASANT SOCIAL EVENT. Last Thursday evening a crowd of our young people gave a party at Wiley's grove in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Howard's guests, Mrs. George Goshorn and son, George Hoffman Goshorn, of Charleston, W. Va., and Miss Mingle of New York City. Nine o'clock found a gay assemblage present at the pavillion which was ar tistically decorated with Japanese lanterns, and to the music of the only, original Shadman's orchestra, the eve ning's program was inaugurated with the ever enlivening "Walk Around," and soon the woods rang with the shouts and laughter of the merry rev elers. Owing to the skillful efforts of Messrs. Kaye and Logan a large bon fire was built near by whose flickering rays added much charm to the scene and soon caused the odor of delicious coffee to become perceptible. Under the directions of Mr. Howard who, in his usual dignified manner, officiated as master of ceremonies and was ably assisted by Geo. A. Walker Jr., as floor manager the fun and merriment was continued until a late hour, ad mitting only of a brief intermission during which a dainty lunch, prepared by Mrs. Howard, was served. Only when the candles had burned at both ends and the fire been reduced to smouldering embers did the happy group depart from the scene of their evening's pleasure and were conveyed to their homes by means of the efficient service of the Sizerville 'Bus Line. Quite Seriously Injured. Several days ago Chester Hockley, Geo. Hockley and Chas. Hockley start ed on their wheels for their annual visit to friends in William3port, Wat sontown and Muncy, expecting at the latter place to have a grand time on grandfather's farm. All wentmerrilly until Monday when the boys each mounted a horse and started down the old familiar road. One of the horses felt his oats and corn .and became un manageable—the one Chester rode— and pulled for some trees. Chester stuck to his back until the horse threw him with great force against a large chestnut tree, injuring his left hip quite seriously. His companions were com pelled to leave him lying in the field until they hastened back to the farm for a horse and carriage, when he was conveyed to the doctor's for treatment. The doctor found no bones broken but the patient in great pain and seriously bruised. The boys claim that if Ches ter had struck his head against the tree it would have killed him, so hard was he thrown. The young man was brought to his home at this place Tues day evening and conveyed to the homes of his father, Mr. A Hockley, where Dr. A. W. Baker is attending him. He will no doubt be confined to his home for some time. Brains in a Button.
