EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 20,1901.
Former Cameronites.
We notice in that excellent journal, '
the Punxsutawney Spirit, published by
our modest friend, Col. W. O. Smith, j
several items that will interest our j
readers, inasmuch as the parties refer-!
red to formerly resided in this county: |
Mr and Mrs. Arthur Klock are visit- I
ing the Pan-American Exposition this j
week Mrs. M. O'Conner, of this |
place,was called home to Franklinville, j
N. Y., recently, on account of the j
death of her father Josiah Fink, 1
father of J. H. Fink, was quite severely ,
hurt last Thursday. He was driving j
under a trestle, which was too low to-1
permit him to pass through, and was
caught and badly squeezed. He faint-!
Ed from the shock and was unconscious (
for some time. Mr. Fink is 72 years
old, but is vigorous and active On I
Monday Mike O'Connor shipped to 1
Philadelphia from his private zoo at !
this place, two large wild cats which, 1
when in good condition, would weigh j
40 pounds each, and one albino ground i
hog. The ground hog is a remarkable j
specimen, being perfectly white, with
pink eyes, and thoroughly domesticat- j
ed. As a weather prognosticator the
white ground hosr excells the ordinary !
woodchuck as much as the white ele- 1
pliant exceeds the brown ones in the I
quality of departed souls which inhabit
it. According to the Hindo doctrine ,
of transmigration only the souls of 1
good kings and princes animate the 1
white elephant.
Disgraceful Fight.
Last Saturday afternoon between
live and six o'clock one John Williams
became involved in an altercation with
[ John Costello, proprietor of the Eagle
! Hotel, over the payment of some
| drinks, which resulted in a fight, dur
! ing which Mr. Costello received a se
j vere blow in the face. He immediately
summoned chief of police Mundy and
he preceded to arrest Williams, who
! resisted arrest and in the melee that
j ensued policeman Mundy was obliged
j to call on three of our citizens to as
j sist in subduing Williams. He was
| given a hearing before magistrate
. Market who committed him to jail.
It seems that this man Willianib i;> a
member of :t well organized gang of
[ "toughs" who are endeavoring to
jeopardize the peace of this and sur
\ rounding communities by engaging in
j brawls and street fights and it would
i be well if he and his companions were
| given a lengthy term behind the bars.
Fell Dead While Filing a Saw.
A woodsman by the name of James
j Johnson, who came here from Trout
Run recently and was employed in the
! woods at Cooks Run on C. B. Howard
! Company's job, expired suddenly on
Sunday morning while in the act of
filing a cross-cut saw at DeLong's
camp.
The deceased leaves two brothers
and a sister to survive him but as their
residence could not be ascertained, the
remains were interred in Newton
Cemetery, Tuesday, proper burial be
ing given the deceased by his employ
ers the C. B. Howard Company.

Big Freight Money.
Emporium is now the largest freight
I paying station, between Harrisburg
I and Erie, the Pennsylvania Railroad
receiving more money from this point
than any other between Harrisburg
and Erie. Of course the enor
| moua amount of freight received by
! Emporium Iron Company is the cause
j of the rapid increase.
Houses in Demand.
The demand for dwelling houses In
Emporium is larger every day and not
a house to be had. Hardly a day passes
but some person calls at the PRESS offi
ce in search of a "house for rent."
Arm Broken.
Little Miss Rena Clare, duaghter of
Mr. Clare, who works in the Keystone
Powder Company plant, had the mis
fortune to fall a few days ago, breaking
her right arm. Dr. Heilman reduced
the fracture.
Kept Busy.
Chief of police Mundy has been kept
busy of late in the East Ward, the
floating population of that end of the
city being more or less noisy and dis
orderly. Owing to his vigilance eight
unfortunates spent Sunday in the
"coop."
Children's Day.
The Presbyterian church was crowd
ed with an appreciative audience Sun
day evening, that had assembled to
listen to the annual children's day
services. An especially fine program
had been prepared for the occasion
and it was rendered in a highly credi
table manner by the members of the
Sunday school.
/"loving an Old Landmark.
Contractor J. W. Kriner who has
been awarded the contract for the
erection of the new Emanuel church
at this place is busily engaged in pre
paring for the removal of the old
structure to the rear of the church lot
at Corner of Fourth and Walnut streets.
This church was erected in 1867 and is
the oldest in Emporium.
Not Ciood Form.
It is a poor form nowadays to publish
a card of thanks to those who have as
sisted in the care of a friend or relative
during his last sickness or have assisted
in connection with the obsequies. These
are services which need no public ac
knowledgment. That is all understood
and a word of personal thanks, spoken
or written, is a much more courteous
and appropriate recognition of the
hoi ping hand so freely tendered and so
deeply appreciated on such occasions
than any formal newspaper card.
Anonymous Writer's Name I>esired.
Chief of Police Mundy would be very
grateful if the party who wrote him a
letter this week, concerning the
nuisance occasioned by small boys
shooting firecrackers and other explo
sives on the streets, would kindly
furnish him with the writer's name in
order that Mr. Mundy may confer with
him. Chief Mundy is ready and willing
to do all in his power to abate this
nuisance and would like to gain the
co-operation of the anonymous writer
as well as all owners of horses in doing
away with the obnoxious practice of
snapping explosives on our streets.
Doing Large Business.
Since the Emporium furnace has
been transferred to Mr A. Brady, one
of the best iron masters in the state, it
has steadily advanced and is now turn
ing out one thousand tons of pig iron
of excellent quality every week. The
high reputation of Emporium iron
makes it a ready seller and it is almost
a daily occurrence to see the iron load
ed on cars before it is cold, so eager
are the consumers to secure this pro
duct. It must be gratifiying to Mr.
, Brady to realize that Emporium fur
! nace is doing a larger and better busi
ness than at any time since its erection.
The reputation of this iron is good
; with the trade, and the future of this
industry seems assured, as long as the
prosperity of the country continues,
and that seoms assured for some years.
In Critical Condition.
John Gayney, of this place, who has
been staying in Philadelphia since last
April, where he is receiving medical
treatment, has been located in Penn
sylvania Hospital. Jos. Freindel and
W. L. Thomas went to Philadelphia
last Saturday to investigate his condi
tion, returning home yesterday morn
ing. Mr. Gayney is in a very precar
ious condition and his recovery is ex
ceedingly doubtful. His disease is of a
cancerous nature.
Notes and News.
Gov. Stone has signed the bill em
powering the president of councils to
act in the absence of a burgess.
From all reports Emporium needs a
whipping post very much, at present.
Franklin Housler has repainted his
residence, corner Maple and Fifth
streets.
The Emporium base ball team will
play at Coudersport on the Fourth of
July.
Peter Schweikart has greatly improv
ed the outside appearance of his store
building by a new coat of paint.
Why don't some one build a number
of houses that will rent at a reasonable
rate. There is a large demand for
tenement houses.
A musical cigarette box is said to be
the latest thing out. Every time you
open|the box and take a cigarette out it
plays "Nearer, My God to Thee."
The new stone pavement in front of
the M. E. church was completed last
Saturday. Laying of the walk was sup
erintended by Peter Schweikart and is
a fine piece of work.
Philadelphia wants the Delaware
deepened so that vessels drawing 30
feet can reach the port. This clamor
for more water comes with singular
grace from a people who are persis
tently complaining of what water they
have.
While cutting a popular at his saw
mill in Lee county, Va., C. R. Kesterton
found an auger hole plugged by a pin.
On removing the pin ho found in the
hole five §2O gold pieces bearing dates
between 1850 and 1860. The coins are
supposed to have been hid there for safe
keeping during the Civil War.
A Georgia editor announced in his
publication that ho had been kissed by
the most beautiful lady in the town,
and that in a few days he would print
her name. During these few days, as
the story goes, the number of sub
scribers to his paper was doubled.
And when he announced that the lady
was his wife the new subscribers realiz
ed that gold bricks are sold outside of
-LJew York city.
Give house to house peddlers the
cold shake. Their interests are of no
concern of yours. They take your
money out of town and leave none, they
have no business reputation to sustain
and are more likely to skin you than
not, there is absolutely no advantage in
buying from a peddler. There is no
article they sell that cannot be bought
as cheap from our home merchants who
pay taxes and help build up the town.
This advice will apply equally as well
to home merchants, who occasionally
place their orders with some cheap
traveler, soliciting job printing.
War With Italy.
Yesterday evening a number of Ital
ians came to Emporium from down the
line and not being used to our brand of
liquors evidently got too much. Police
man Beattie attempted to stop a row
when one of them fought the officer
but a good "feeler" from Peter's club
laid him out. This caused anothe- howl
from the infuriated gang and tor a
minute or two it was lively times. One
Italian pulled a knife and made for
Policeman Beattie and Councilman
Balcom, but Frank did not do a thing
but crack his heels in the air, and as
sisted Mr. Beattie in locking them both
up for the night.
Literary Prize Contest.
Answer to question No. 3: Menen
dez landed fifteen hundred Spanish
colonists on the coast of Florida in
j 1505; and they planted the oldest
I church in what is now the United
I States, at St. Augustine. The old
| cathedral and fort were built of coqui
! na. Native Indians and Mexican eon
i victs were forced to do the labor, and
j it took one hundred years to complete
j the fort, which was said to be the pret-
I tiest fortress in the King of Spain's do
| minions. The antique cathedral burn
j ed down a few years ago.

representing the infant American Re
public at a diplomatic dinner ?
