Death Relieved Her Suffering.
Last week we recorded the accident
which befell Mrs. A. L. Hitchcock by
being severely burned. This lady who
has resided in Emporium many years
was known and highly esteemed by
the entire community, and a shade of
sadness spread over our people when
it was learned that her injuries proved
fatal. She received every attention
that kind and loving friends could ten
der her during her suffering, and 111
their extreme desire to save her life
they sent her to the Lock Haven Hos
pital, where more experienced and
trained nurses could care for her, but
the aid of human hands availed noth
ing beyond temporary relief, and death
ended her suffering Monday morning
at 10:30 o'clock, having lived just one
week from time ol sustaining the in
juries above referred to. The remains
of deceased were brought to Emporium
Monday evening 011 Niagara Express
and conveyed to her late home where
the funeral services were conducted,
Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock,
Rev. R. McCaslin, of the Presbyterian
Church officiating.
Some years ago Mrs. Hitchcock be
came a sufferer of nervous debility,
her whole nervous system having been
attacked, which gave her unexpressable
annoyance, and was no doubt the
cause of her accident.
She was a member of the Presbyter
ian Church and a faithful, consistent
Christian. All that is mortal of this
good lady was laid to rest in Newton
cemetery. Peace to her ashes.

Letter to Geo. J. Laßar.
Emporium, Pa.
DEAR Slß: —There is going to be,
from now on, in Emporium, a good
deal of painting done, that will last in
good condition from 3 years up—lo
years is common; we know of it good
in 15; and we know no limit—it seems
to be likely to last as long as the house
lasts, in favorable conditions.
The painter who uses this paint will
get all the business he can do.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. It
looks as good as any; costs no more;
and is ready—no thinning or mixing
to do.
I The zinc is ground in with the lead
by machinery—you can't do that.
Test it yourself, if you like; bu.
there's plenty of evidence for it. We
take the risk of how it turns out—there
is no risk.
Do you want this work?
Yours truly,
12 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

Seven Lives Were Lost in an Earl\' Morning Fire
at the HcGonigal House in Oswayo,
Potter County.
0.-wavu, Pa., Nov. IS. Seven men
were burned to death in :i Are which
destroyed the McUonigal llouso,a three
story frame building, the hotel barn
:ind the Opera House, at 1 o'clock this
; morning. The three buildings were
! burned to the ground in halF an hour
j from the time the lire started. The
j dead are:
ARTHUR FLETCHER, bookkeeper
j for Penn Stave Compaviy; home in
Boston.
MICHAEL RUSSELL, employe of
| Penn Tanning Company, Oswayo.
WILLIAM MULHANY, of Rexford,
N. Y.
HUGH METCHAM, of Alfred, N. Y.
BEECHER, traveling man.
Two others, unknown and unrecog
nizable.
Oswayo is a village of about 1,000 in
habitants, located in Potter county,
Pennsylvania, upon the line of the
j New York and Pennsylvania railroad..
It is in the natural gas belt. For sev
eral days the gas pressure was so great
as to cause considerable apprehension
as to its safety for use. Complaints
were made to the Potter Gas Company,
which controls the supply in this vi
cinity, and on Saturday J. J. Daly,
! superintendent of the lines, arrived to
| make an investigation. He made a
| partial investigation and claimed that
j he found everything all right and the
j regulator in good working order.
TIIEIR ESCAPE CUT OFF.
This morning the residents were
| aroused by the fierce roaring of gas in
! their homes and when they went to
| turn off the pressure they were aston
| ished to find the whole town lighted by
! a lurid glare. Prompt examination
S proved that the McGonigal House and
j adjoining buildings were in flames. In
| a few minutes the town was aroused
I and all rushed to the scene of the con-
J flagration. The town has no fire de
i partment, the only protection being a
| pump at the tannery.
In the hotel there were 30 guests. It
j was a flimsy structure, and from what
i can be learned of the fire it had its
origin from an over-heated stove caus
ed by the excessive gas pressure. The
flames licked up the hotel building as
if it were tinder. The guests were
| awakened by the heat and cries of
j alarm ot the citizens. There were
many narrow escapes, most of the oc
cupants jumping from their windows.
It is supposed that the seven victims
were cut off from escape soon after the
lire started. Nothing remains of those
caught in the building but a few char
red bones. One man had his leg brok
en in jumping from a window. Otto
Kauley, a gas line inspector, of Coud
ersport, Pa., was burned about the face
and arms. .Terry Daly sustained a
broken shoulder by jumping from the
third story. Othors wero burned about
the face and body in their perilous leap
through the flames.
At nearly every drawn window faces
of the victims could be seen. In one
window a figure was plainly seen, his
Music Class Recital.
A number of the members of the
Music Class of Miss May Gould gave
their first monthly recital at the studio
of Miss Gould, on Saturday afternoon
of last week. The class was ably as
sisted by Miss Mazie Gallagher, violin
ist. Each member on the program
proved to be equal to the task placed
upon them, and retired to their homes

as enjoyable to have participated in
this event. The following program

and landed in a tree. She was unin

EXPERIENCE OF ONE OF THE SAVED.
Arthur Fletcher was seen standing
at a window on the first floor. He was
clad in his night gown and called loud
ly for help. Overcome by the gas he
fell back. Jerry Daly told of his expe
rience later in the day.
"I was awakened," he said, "by fall
ing plaster in my room. The heat was
intense. Above me I could see the
flames. Below me I could hear the
crackle and the sound of falling tim
bers. With difficulty I made my way
to the door. As I opened it the flames
licked my face and hands. The heat
on the soles of my bare feet was in
tense, and with a groan of anguish I
fell back to await death's coming.
"Then I heard Hugh Meteham com
ing down the hall. He saw me through
the smoke and called to me, 'Como
this way!' I put my scorched hands
up to my faco and followed. Painfully
we worked our way through smoke
and flame for about 70 feet. Suddenly
the floor gave way and Meteham dis
appeared with it. I looked down and
saw his form twisting and writhing in
the heat. Just one step more and I
would have followed him to death.
But I did not lose my head. My night
clothes were on fire. I tore them off.
my hair had been entirely burned off
My head. Spurred on for final effort
by my awful surroundings, I reached
a window and leaped to the ground."
It is believed the fire originated in
the room occupied by Fletcher, where
there was a small gas stove, as it was
in that vicinity that it was first discov
ered. The gas escaping from this stove,
and probably from other burners, forc
ed out by the high pressure, soon per
colated throughout the house and
became ignited, thus shutting off all
means of escape.
Thousands of people viewed the ruins
and remains of the unfortunate to-day
from the surrounding country and
towns along the line of the New York
& Pennsylvania railroad.
UNABLE TO RENDER AID.
Superintendent John Good of the
Pennsylvania Tanning Company, was
the first man who realized the extent of
the terrible catastrophe. His residence
is across the street from the hotel prop
erty. He rushed down stairs and out
into the street sounding alarm as he
went. Going to the various mills in
the town he pulled the whistles wide
open.
The scene was grotesque; the flames
enveloped the Hotel, and the agoniz
ing screams could be heard from the
inmates, while the onlookers stood
powerless to render the assistance for
which they pleaded, although every
available effort was made to save life.
