ricNARNEY IS ILL AT SAN FRAN
CISCO.
The Brave Young Lieut., Brother of
J. P. ricNarney, of Emporium,
Arrived From Philippines.
Williainsport News.
Lieutenant Frank T. McNarney, of
this city, who has been in the volunteer
army in the Philippines for the past
two years, arrived at San Francisco on
Tuesday on the transport Sherman.
Lieutenant McNarney left here a sec
ond lieutenant of infantry and returns
a first lieutenant of cavalry. He was
wounded in action and returned to
duty after his wound healed. He was
ono officer selected to command the
native scouta and became ill while on
this duty. He was sent first to one
hospital then to another and was fin
ally told that he required a sea voyage
to regain his health.
A board of officers recommended that
he be sent home to recuperate and he
was ordered to San Francisco, leaving
on the Sherman on Dec. 15 and arriv
ing at San Francisco Jan. 8. He is
now at the Presidio awaiting orders.
He served as first sergeant in the
Tenth infantry in Cuba during the
Spanish war, and was one of the few
given honorable mention and certifi
cates for conspicuous bravery in the
battle of Santiago. With all his excel
lent record Lieutenant McNarney is as
modest as he is brave, and does not
like to talk about what he has done.
Death of (iillon nc(iloin.
Dillon, the youngest child of Mrs.
Mary McGloin, of this place, died on
Sunday, Jan. 6th, at about 2 p.m., at
the age of ten years. The bright little
fellow had been ill about nine days
with pneumonia, and was conscious
till the last. The funeral was held at
the Catholic church at 9 o'clock on
Tuesday morning, Rev. Father Mea
gher officiating. The remains was in
terred beside the father, the late Fran
cis McGloin, in the Catholic Cemetery.
Little was one of the brightest
of the •>lta boys in St. Leo's Church
and the _ ..ier altar boys acted as pall
beareas. He is survived by the mother,
two brothers and two sisters, all of
whom are sorely grieved over the loss
of the treasure of the family. They
have the sincere sympathy of the com

Congratulations.
Editor Press:
Please allow me space in your valu
able paper, as a citizen, to extend con
gratulations to the honorable gentle
men of our Borough Council in their
wisdom in placing before the voters
the matter of an electric light plant.
This is as it should be—left to the will
iof the voters. No reasonable citizen
can dispute this right, and we have no
doubt but that the voters of this bor
ough v/ill use the right of franchise to
sustain the project by a large majority,
and Emporium will enjoy what she has
long sought for—electric lights upon
her streets. Now is the time to pro
• cure it if ever, and surelv the voters
I will prove themselves worthy of the
| opportunity given them by a sound
headed council. Again we congratu
late you gentlemen.
CITIZEN.

MR. PRESS EDITOR:—
The Independent had quite a little to
say about me last week, whereas it no
doubt meant to argue for Electric
Light, yet it ought to know that no
one ever made his boy any better by
running down some one else.
The Borough Council last week by a
vote of 4 to 3 decided to ask the people
to vote at this election as to whether
they would mortgage every house and
lot in town $7,000 00 more to borrow
money to build an electric light plant.
There are nine councilmen and four
of them voted for this question, but
only two thought $7,000.00 would build
the plant, while the other two who
j voted for it because they understood
the people wanted the question pub
licly discussed, are themselves opposed
to bonding the town, believing that the
1 plant will cost more than twice the
$7,000.00 (Mr. Strayer putting the cost
at $16,000.00) this would seem about
right judging from what we hear about
Wateontown, Dußois, Jersey Shore,
and Weetfleld.
Some one should get the exact figures
j showing the cost of buildings, founda
j lions for engine and dynamo, with cost
1 of machinery and wire with the lamps.
| The above mentioned towns have no
opposition and charge the people more
for their light than we have to pay for
gas, while our running expenses would
be just about the same.
The question should be thoroughly
discussed.
Personally I would prefer to pave
j the square at the Warner House and a
drive-way 14 feet wide down to the
Junction.
Respectfully,
JOSIAII HOWARD.
Emporium, Pa., Jan. 15, 1901.

l Judging from "Tax Payer's" remarks
in last weeks' Independent he evident
ly thinks that because the people of
Emporium got the benefit of a few
good manufacturing establishments for
■ nothing that they ought to get every
j j thing for nothing, and that because the
|' people of the county have been in the
I habit of going right up the side of a
| mountain and climbing steep sidehills,
I that they ought to continue right along
| the same way without making any ef
| fort towards improvement. He seema

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CHANGES.
New Train Service on riiddle Division
—Emporium to be Benefitted
Thereby—Station fl as
ter for Emporium.
It is rumored there will be important
changes on P. & E. R. R , with the new
schedule to take effect about Feb'y Ist.
Among the most important changes
1 will be another section of Erie mail
; east and section two of "Flyer' west as
! far as this place, thence to Buffalo.
! Second section of Erie mail east will
j connect with Buffalo express. Also
| the News Express that now runs to
Renovo, will be extended to Emporium,
j All trains will arrive at and depart
i from the upper depot, whore a Station
; Master will be located. We do not
i give this news as official, but simply as
I rumor or "caboose talk."

flcNichols was Jubilant.
Councilman McNichols of Philadel
phia, won SIO,OOO on the election of
Marshall to the speakership. McNich
ols was naturally feeling pretty good
over it, and the next day at dinner
| time he took a crowd of his friends to
the Commonwealth Hotel, which is the
insurgent headquarters. He seated
them around at the different tables,
laid the money he had wen beside his
plate, and said in a voice that could be
beard all over the dining room: "Gen
tlemen, order everything you want.
| There is nothing too good for you.
1 Don't be afraid to take Mumm's. These
gentlemen over here (refering to the
anti-Quay leaders) are paying the bills.
It isn't costing me a cent. If any of
you need a hundred or two besides,
help yourselves. These gentlemen
have money to burn." And McNichols
and his friends had a great feast, all
the time commending the generosity of
the gentlemen who sat at the other
tables looking glum, and failing to see
any humor in the sarcastic encomiums
of McNichols.—Punx'y Spirit.
Robbers Arrested.
Deputy Sheriff Hemphill arrested
Alex. Keise and Henry Wolf, yesterday
on a warrant issued by Justice Larra
i bee, on the charge of robbery. The
I men had been employed on the section
at Howard Siding, and were discharg
led by section boss Martin Lawson.
' They opened and robbed the trunks of
' several of the other men who board
with Mr. Lawson, taking a suit of
clothes anu hat from Lee Hopkins, coat
I and vest from Martin Lawson, over
! coat and pants from Gust Olson, and
i shoes and rubbers from Pat Curren.
The arrest was made at the restaur
ant of John D. McDonald, in the East
| ward, and the stolen articles were
i found in their posession. They were
given a hearing before Justice of the
' Peace Larrabee, and in default of S3OO
bail, each, were lodged in Fort Swope
j for trial at next criminal court,
i There is no doubt but that Judge
, s Mayer will give them all that is com
ing to them.
Queer Accident.
Last Sunday morning, when the Fly
er was coming along at a lively rate
near Driftwood, a large four-inch
'! washer flew from one of the engine
1 j drivers, striking under the baggage car
1 and bounding agaiDst the floor; from
1 there to the mountain side where it
• struck a rock, glancing back, smashing
"' a window in the smoker and dropped
' into a seat, where it was picked up by
Dick Reed, who handed it to the engin
eer, and it was replaced by him at the
next stop. A queer freak.
> A Disgrace.
3 Again we record another disgraceful
r row which occurred on Tuesday even
- ing in the East Ward. There are some
j young men in this town, who cause
their parents untold annoyance, who
' should have more respect for their
gray hairs than to get mixed up in
such drunken brawls. These rowdies
had better be careful or some of them
. may get into serious trouble.

Quay Elected.
The"Man Hunt" has been set
tled at last by the election of Sena
tor Quay over the combined
opposition by a majority of 12 votes.
It was a desperate contest but right
has triumphed at last. Senator
Quay left for Washington last night
and Senator Penrose will present
his credentials to the United States
Senate to-day, where Quay will take
his seat at once.
Shortest on Record.
D. E. Olmsted, lately deceased, left
the shortest will on record, viz:
458 East Third Street,
Williamsport, Pa., Sept. 13, 1898.
This is my last will. I leave all my
property to my wife and make her my
executrix. D. E. OLMSTED. "
This is certainly to the point and is
considered a legal curiosity.
Will Remain Here.
It is now understood that Rev. Father
O'Hern will not leave Driftwood as
stated last week. After looking over the
field he found that it would be imprac
ticable for him to accept the pastorate
at Kersey as it would require a German
priest to fill the position acceptably,
and so informed his bishop, who has
notified him to remain here until furth
er notice. His many friends would be
pleased to have him remain here per
manently.—Driftwood Gazette.
Correction.
The minutes of Borough Council, of
date Jan. 7th, makes it appear that S.
E. Murry, councilman, voted against
the resolution providing for an oppor
tunity for the voters of the borough to
decide the matter of an electrict light
plant. Mr. Murry wishes us to an
nounce that he voted for the motion
as carried and that he is heartily in
favor of the electric plant, and if his
son could vote he would see that the
vote would go for the better light sys
tem also.
More Trains Says Rumor.
It is said that the new schedule will
be putin effect on the Phiadelphia and
Erie railroad about February Ist. It is
further Btated that when this schedule
goes into effect several additional pas
senger trains will be added to the ser
vice. There is to be a second No. 4
east and a se3ond No. 9 west, of the
two sections each way one will be an
Erie train while the other will be a
Buffalo train. Besides these the "ca
boose" committee says there will be a
day train each way. There is some
reason to believe thatthese rumors will
be verified in a short while as the
heavy traffic during the Pan American
Exposition on will necessitate much
additional train service. Renovo

Masons Meet.
Arnold Chapter of Port Allegany
conferred all of the degrees of that
society on a local "team" composed of
L. J. Renzor, W. H. Shaw and W. H.
Clare, Wednesday afternoon and even
ing. Acting under dispensation so to
do, for the Grand Chapter, the Mark
and Excellent degrees were conferred
at the afternoon session and the Royal
Arch degree at the evening session.
A floor team from Emporium was
present by special invitation and con
ferred the degrees. They were the
following members of Emporium
Chapter, No. 227: Dr. A. W. Baker,
John D. Logan, E. C. Davison, J. G.
Earl, C. T. Logan, Joseph Kaye, I. K.
Hockley, Joseph J. Lingle, E. W. Gas
kill, O. B. Barnes, U. A. Palmer, John
Gleason. The following other visiting
brethren were present: Chas. Weller,
Olean Chapter, 150, W. I. Lewis and
Fred C. Leonard, of Coudersport Chap
ter, No. 263, and Rev, Wm. E. Hanson,
of Pierson Chapter, Crookston, Minn.
The work of the Emporium team is
accurate and its accuracy makes it es
pecially impressive and the Reporter
representing and voicing the senti
ment of every member of the Chapter
here, expresses appreciation of the
visit of these brethren to Arnold Chap
ter on that occasion, and unites with
them in thanking the members of the
Emporium Chapter for the interest
they manifest in us. The banquet at
the Startwell House by Brother King
was one of the features that helped
make the occasion so pleasant. Nearly
two score of the brethren took supper
there. A new leaf ofacquaintanceship
fias been turned between the two
lodges now that will result in a better,
more extended affiliation. So mote it
it be.—Port Allegany Reporter.

The Odd Feliows have the largest
membership of any fraternal organiza

Oneevening last week a certain party,
evidently expecting the family was ab
sent, boldly stepped up and took a sack
of flour from the front porch of G. O.
Seaver's residence on Fifth street. The
family was at home however, and the
PRESS readers may be apprised of the
details in the matter if the flour or its
equivalent is not returned promptly.
An exchange says: "A boy can sit
still on a sled six inches square, tied to
a sleigh moving eight miles an hour,
but couldn't sit on a sofa five minutes
for a dollar. A man will siton an inch
board and talk politics for three hours;
put him in a church pew for forty min
utes and he gets nervous, twists and
goes to sleep A man will fill his cheek
with filthy tobacco juice until it runs
down his chin, and feels good; but a
hair in the butter kills him."
A stationer is thus quoted in tho
Philadelphia Record: "Just as the
Nineteenth Century brought the steel
pen in place of the quill, so will the
Twentieth Century see the typewriting
machine take the place of the pen. The
effect is already very noticeable. Last
year we didn't sell half as many pens
as we did five years ago, and the de
crease has been steady each year. Some
large business houses have a system of
keeping books with typewriting ma
chines, and when this becomes simpli
fied it is bound to be universal. 1
shouldn't be surprised to see the pen
manufacturers go out of business within
a few years Indeed, it is not beyond
the range of possibility that a hundred
years from now, handwriting, if not
exactly regarded as a lost art, will be
at least looked upon as a relic of anti
quity, ar»d spocimens of handwriting
will be treasured as curiosities.
The Hon. "Sandy" Boyne was a cor
dial caller at the Star office to-day. He
was accorded the distinction last week
of having his picture in the North
American's groupe at two different
times. The Democrats have proven a
great source of disappointment to As
semblyman Boyne and he is beginning
to appreciate the foregone conclusion
that fusion and compromising with the
opposition are of no avail. Several
prominent men, who were fusionists
during the contest last summer in this
district, have stated positively since
last Thursday that they will never sup
port a fusion ticket again, but like every
true Republicau, they will confine their
efforts of reform within the party's
lines. It is a thrilling spectacle to see
Republicans trying to wreck their party
and Democrats stepping into the breach
thus preventing the crash and insuring
the prolonged success of stalwart Re
publicanism. In order to secure politi
cal reforms it has come to a point where
the regular Republican party has been
compelled to defeat the "Reformers"
first.—Bradford Star.
Last Monday President Judge Jerome
B. Niles entered upon the duties of the
office to which the people of this county
elected him last November. He has
the best wishes of all citizens for good
health and pleasant experiences during
his term. It is a distinguishing honor
to be called to preside over the courts
of a county like Tioga without partisan
strife at the election. In Judge Nilee'
case, when he shall have completed the
length of his term, he will have rounded
out a most remarkable career in public
life extending over half a century.
The dignity and ability of the bench of
Tioga county, which has always been
of unusual excellence, will be fully
maintained under his administration.
He enters upon his duties with the re
spect, personal friendship and good
will of all the members of the bar and
the people generally. The Agitator
adds its congratulations and best wish
es for Judge Niles' good health and
success.—Wellsboro Agitator.
Judge Niles' Cameron county friends,
and they are legion, extend their con
gratulations and wish him a continu
ance of the high esteem and confidence
of the people of this State. The editor
of the PRESS, personally, extends his
compliments to his old friend and ex
cellent family. After a continuous
public life of fifty years, in which not a
| blot was left against the integrity of
i this able gentleman, it is a fitting re
! cognition of his integrity as a citizen, a
I lawyer and a true blue old-line Repub-
I licau.
