DEATH'S DOINQS.
WYKOFF.
HON. BAINBRIDGB V. WYKOFF (an
account of whose death appeared in
our last issue) was laid to rest on the
historic banks of the Sinnamahoning,
at Wyside, last Saturday at 2 o'clock,
p. m., it having been the desire of the
deceased to be buried near the scene
of his boyhood days. Although the
day was disagreeable a very large
number of relatives and friends as
sembled at the beautiful M. E. Church
at Sinnamahoning to pay the last tri
bute of respect to an honored citizen,
neighbor and friend. Rev. M. C.
Piper, of Altoona, Pa., (formerly Pas
tor of deceased) delivered a very elo
quent sermon, full of good thoughts
and kind words of comfort to the af
flicted. We have listened to very
many discourses upon similar occasions
but seldom have been more favorably
impressed than when we listened to
the eloquent discourse by lie v. Piper.
Rev. Fans, the new Pastor, although a
stranger to all present, admirably over
come the difficulties of the trying oc
casion in a manner strictly suitable and
appropriate. The singing by the choir
was very sweet and touching. After
viewing the remains the silent city of
the dead was visited and all that was
mortal of Judge Wykoff was lovingly
laid to rest. Driftwood Lodge, F. &
A. M., of which the deceased was a
member, conducted the services at the
grave and escorted the remains from
the church. The -fraternity to the
number of about fifty met in the P. O.
S. of A. hall at Sinnamahoning prior
to the funeral to make the necessary
preparations. A vote of thanks for the
use of the room was tendered Sinna
mahoning Camp.

MRS. L. W. SMITH, of Ormsby Junc
tion, aged 80 years, mother of E. I.
Smith, our former townsman, and
grandmother of Mrs.Wm. Kresge, died
at her home Tuesday night, last week,
gf paralysis. The remains werebrought
here last Friday noon for interment.
The deceased, with her husband, re
sided in Emporium about eleven years
ago and bore the higliestcsteem of our
people.

ISAAC SMITH, aged 61 years, died at

The Apportionment.
It is the plain constitutional duty of
the Legislature to pass the several ap
portionment bills this session and if the
members of that body should adjourn
without doing so the Governor should
re-convene them for that purpose. Tho
most wholesome reform could be ac
complished in this section by an entire
reapportionment. Let the Governor
do his duty and it is very evident he
possesses the required nerve to force
the servants of the people to a fulfill
ment of their duty.
McNarney Promoted.
Lieutenant Frank T. McNarney, for
merly of this city, for bravery in the
Philippines, has been appointed a
second lieutenant in the regular army.
Lieutenant McNarney is now in San
Francisco, regaining his health, which
was shattered by a wound which he
received at Dasoc. Before the Spanish-
American war McNarney was a mem
ber of Company H, this city. He serv
ed as a scout at Santiago and in the
Philippines commanded a company of
Maccabee scouts. —Lock Haven Demo
crat. Lieut. McNarney is a brother of
J. P. McNarney of this place and has
visited here, making many friends.
He is a natural born soldier, likes the
service and will probably make rapid
progress.
Consul-General Wildman.
Emma Mersereau Newton in "Society of Ameri
can Authors."
My acquaintance with the late
Rounsevelle Wildman was purely a
paper one, but it was of such an agree
able character that I felt as if bereft of
a personal friend when news of the
recent steamboat disaster at the Golden
Gate was flashed over the Rockies.
My introduction to Mr. Wildman
was through a story, entitled, "A
Breath of Heaven," which I submitted
to the Overland, assailed by a grave
doubt as to the wisdom of sending
"coals to Newcastle " Nor was my
fear unfounded, for a response from
the editor informed me that they had
been so inundated with mission stories,
that a resolution had been registered
to accept no more. "But," he added,
'"A Breath of Heaven' lias proven so
unusually attractive that an exception
has been made in your favor, and if our
terms are satisfactory, we shall be pleas
ed to have other contributions from
your pen." Subsequently he expressed
especial approbation of "An Iconoclas
tic Episode," and sent me a copy of his
own novel, "The Panglima Muda," to
emphasize his satisfaction with my
work. Even when declining a contri
bution, because it was unsuited to the
wants of the Overland, he had the cour
tesy to end with the encouraging re
quest, "Send me some more of your
charming stories."
Consul-General Wildman will be
known to history as one of the illustri
ous Americans connected with the con
quest of the Philippines; but to a heart
1 solaced for weary hours of labor by
his engaging appreciation and fair treat
ment, Rounsevelle Wildman, the editor,
| will be reverently remembered as one
| of those rare beings who deserve to bo
I ranked with the blessed, and wear the
crown of life. Editors are tutelary de
, ities, who preside over the destinies of
! authors. All hail, and hats off, to the
| honorable ones!

ST. MARYS COUNCIL NO. 567.
Knights of Columbus Installed with
Great Ceremony on Sunday Last.
For soluc time the local Knights of
Columbus have been working to establish
a branch of that great fraternal order at
this place and their efforts were rewarded
on Sunday when a council with 57 mem
bers was firmly instituted to henceforth be
a prominent limb of the great tree, whose
fruit is union, protection and good will to
all men.
The information that an institution
would be held at St. Marys spread through
the different councils ol tho order.and the
Saturday evening trains brought in a great
number, who caiuc to take part in the
work. A meeting of the candidates was
held and (heir credentials examined on
Saturday evening and on Sunday morning,
over 200 strong, they filed in line and
marched to the Sacred Heart church to
begin their work by service to Ilim from
whom all blessings How. Special church
music was arranged by the choir, assisted
by Meßride's orchestra, making the mass
solemn and impressive, liev. Fr. Pan
cracious preached an eloquent sermon to
the candidates and visiting knights and
when the service was over all marched
back to join the multitudes brought in by
the regular and special trains.
The knights from Bradford, one hun
dred strong, came by special Erie train via
Johnsonburg where they were joined by
delegates from Dußois, Clearfield and
Puuxsutawney councils and at 10:30 they
reached St. Marys with three well filled
coaches.
Glean council augmented by great num
bers from Buffalo, llornellsvillc. Coming
and Binghamton, X. Y., came similarly
by special train over the Pennsylvania R.
11. via Emporium and brought in over
one hundred sir knights to share in the
ceremony.
The regular trains brought from the east
the entire Retiovo council and almost a
solid delegation from tlie Queen City of
the West Branch, as Williamsport had
charge ol the work.
Many were here from Erie, Corry, Oil
City, Meadville, Toledo, ()., Pottsville,
Philadelphia and other paints. When all
had assembled they made up a represen
tative body of followers of the sturdy dis
coverer, numbering over five hundred.
The committees in charge had every
thing in readiness to receive their distin
guished brethren and the feeling of satis
faction which the visitors felt was easily
discerned from their looks.
Wolf's hall had been arranged for the
degree work and had been profusely dec
orated in the National colors of thegratest
and grandest Nation carved from the land
which yielded to the stern faith and per
severance of thesturdy navigator of Geona.
The decoration was in charge of Mr.
Hausmann, ol Eric, who knew the neces
sary shield and armament to use for the
occasion and when the Knights assembled
at 11 o'clock for the exemplification of
the first degree a surprise was in store for
them for they did not expect such an
elaborate display. Seats were found for
500 Knights and the work proceeded in
the hands of the Bradford Council.
Nevor in the history of the order was
the work done with greater power and
beauty, as it was in the bauds of strong
men, and the subjects were all worthy to
don the armor.
After a recess of one hour for lunch
they again assembled in their places and
Williamsport Council, 3G6, took up the
important work of the second degree,which
was carried through with the same power,
eloquence and deep feeling exhibited in
the first degree.
The third, and what is the major degree,
was in the hands of District Deputy J. E.
Gibbons, of Williamsport, who was here
to represent the Supreme Council in this
great work. District Deputy Gibbons has
the reputation of being the peer of any
man in the State or National Council and
on this occation he outdid himself and
thus added to his laurels. Were it not
that the Knights of Columbus is a severe
ly secret order, we would enjoy giving
this great master's work in detail, but
suffice it to say that more powerful or
impressive ceremony seems impossible.
After the departure of the special and
regular trains the new council and the
remaining brothers, to the number of one
hundred, returned to the degree hall,
where District Deputy (sibbons performed
the solemn work of installing the officers
who are to have charge of the new Coun
cil for the balance of this year, in their
regular order, as follows:
Grand Knight, G. F. Kinsella; Deputy
Grand Knight, N. J. Tierney; Chancellor,
J. W. Sweeney; Advocate, Hon Chas.

Mr. iosiah Howard Seriously 111.
Our citizens were pained to learn of
Mr. Josiah Howard's serious illness,
who has been confined to his bed since
last Sunday with pneumonia. He is
under the care of Dr. Heilman but on
Tuesday Dr. Nutt, of Williamsport,
was called in consultation. We are
pleased to learn that Mr. Howard is
greatly improved at this writing.

The many friends of Ex-Sheriff P. E.
Lewis, will regret to learn that that
gentleman was stricken with apoplexy
last Saturday at his residence in this
place. He is doing as well as could be

hopes are entertained for his recovery.
Dr. Smith is attending him and doing
everything possible to check the dis
ease.
Gone to Muncy.
N. P. Warner and wife left on Tues

taken charge of a first-class hotel and
reports the prospects very flattering

story solid brick house, heated by steam
and located in business part of town.
N. P. has had ample experience in the
business, having almost been born in a
hotel, and wo hope may be prosperous.
Ed. Appleton Killed.
Just as we goto press wa learn of
the death of Edward Appleton, on
Wednesday, who was working on the
Cauley Run log loader. He was stand
ing on loader immediately under the
log when it fell, striking and crushing
him, death beingalmost instantaneous.
He leaves a wife, but no children, who
rasides at Sizerville. His wife is a
daughter of Geo. Doll.
A Great Success.
"Uncle Reuben" at the opera house
last Tuesday evening by home talent
was well received by our citizens who
packed the house. The parts were
ably filled and elicited great applause
and many compliments from the audi
ence. Seldom have home talent pre
sented a more taking entertainment
and manager Clarke, (Uncle Reuben),
made the hit of the season. The com
pany played at Driftwood last evening.
Struck it Rich.
Mr. Fred Mil's, well and favorably
known in this place where his wife,
who was formerly Miss Boutain, re
sides with her mother, while her hus
band is visiting his mining claims, has
struck it rich. The following telegram
from Vancouver, B. C., says: "A re
newal of old time mining excitement
has been caused by a strike made on
No. 3 above El Dorado, owned by Hal
stead and Mills The bedrock there
was rotten and a new bedrock was
found twelve feet deeper. This held a
gold gravel that is turning out as high
as §ls to the pan." Mr. Mills' many
Emporium friends will be pleased to
learn of his good luck.
Burglars Captured.
Last Monday the Kanechiefof police
captured four men camping on the out
skirts of the town, while enjoiyng a
drunken debauch, believing they were
the same individuals wanted by the
Emporium authorities.
Chief of Police Mundy bearing a
warrant issued by Squire Larrabee,
went to Kane on Tuesday afternoon
and brought the chaps to Emporium,
yesterday, assisted by P. & E. detective
Joy. The prisoners are confined in
the county jail until witnesses ar
ive. The hearing will take place to
morrow morning. It is dead sure they
are the individuals, or part of the gang
that robbed the Emporium stores last
Wednesday. The fifth chap is locked
up at Bradford.
Word was received this morning that
the prisoner held at Bradford is one of
the gang, having an identified revol
ver in his possession.
