Kriner is push ing work on the new stone Em manuel Episcopalian Church, cor j uer of Fourth and Walnut streets, and judging from the plans of the ' structure, kindly shown us by the j Rector, Rev. J. M. Robertson, the Episcopalian congregation will he l comfortably located and our town j greatly benefitted by the addition iof a valuable property. The last issue of the I'arish Ncu s, edited by ! the Rector, lias the following to j say in relation to the church: "The contract for building tho new church was given to Mr. J. W. Kriner, June 3rd. In a few days j the work of moving the old church | was commenced and by July 2d was ! on its new site at the rear of the j lot, blocked up securely and ready I for use for the morning service July | 7th. It now rests upon a substan i tial stone wall. Meanwhile, the work of excavating for the founda tions of the new church was in progress, and at this writing the concrete footings under the tower and under the walls of tho church, have for a distance back of forty ' feet, have been laid, and a portion jof the stone foundations built. As | soon as the foundation is ready,the stones for the face work will be j sent from Medina, N. Y., and ! a force of men to set them. The building is to be under roof ; by Dec. Ist, and the contract com i pleted in a year from the com ' luencement of the work. The plan of the new church is an ■admirable one in itself, and is ' moreover that which is necessitat ! Ed by the size and shape of the lot. j The main partis long and narrow, the total length, including tower, i will be 111 feet: the width of the ; nave is 29 feet, 8 inches, exclusive ;of the buttresses; the chancel 2"> I feet; the wing for the choir room | and sacristy will be 3G feet long | and will make the width of the building 45 feet, -4 inches. The tower will bo 21 feet wide and 1G feet deep, and its height above the lloor line, 47 feet. There , is to be but one .aisle the length of the nave; this will be tiled. There will be 230 sittings. A spacious and deep chancel will be the most important feature of the church." Cocaine Fiend. On June Bth, a chap appeared in Emporium and registered at the City, Hotel under tho name of "H. S. Ford of Smethport," claiming to bo a crack , painter. The same day he called at ' Dodson's drug store and purchased a ! quantity of cocaine. He continued to ' hang around town until last Thursday, I when in one of his frantic spells watch- I ed an opportunity and dodged into the back do.or of Taggart's drug store and I swiped about §6.00 worth of cocaine and j morphine. The unfortunate individual I made haste to leave town, taking the road to Sizerville. A warrant was is sued for his arrest, but will no doubt bo allowed to sleep in the officer's pocket as long as the poor fellow gives this place the go-bye. We are inform ed he was in tho habit of stealing from several stores anything he could get his hands unto, converting the samo into money with which to buy tho drug. Leg Amputated. Last April Elmer McManuo, of Ship ] pen, a lad 16 years of age, while work ! ing on a log job met with an accident, j whereby his right leg was severely in ! jured. During all these months he j has suffered great pain and every ef fort has been made to save the limb, it not being safe to attempt an amputa tion. Last Sunday morning Drs. De- Long and Smith performed the opera tion, amputating the limb above the knee. The patient is doing well and I it is hoped he will now recover. Pleasant Time. i The dance at Cameron last Friday evening, under the auspices of Cameron I Castle, K. G. E., was a success and the Castle realized a neat sum. There was : a large attendance. ; The Baptist Church to be Re-opened. The Rev. W. A. Pugsley, of Genoa, N. Y., has accepted a call to become pastor of the Baptist church of this place. Mr. Pugsley has done a great work in his present field and we are glad to ! welcome a man of his spiritual and in ; tellectual entertainments among us. Tho new pastor will hold his opening service on the first Sunday in October.

Last week Carl Walters, aged 22 years, in company with his brother Frank contracted with W. D. Johnson to cut and stock some logs on Canoe Ran, about two miles from Wliittemore Hill. On Thursday last the crew, nine in number went actively to work and during the morning Carl had occasion togo to some other part of the job stuck his axe into a log, intending to get it on his return. Some time during the morning he cut his foot quite badly but being a rugged young fellow paid little attention to tho blood that was running into his shoe, at the same time sapping away his strength. When he returned for his axe it is supposed he slipped and fell, more from weakness than accident, striking his right arm against the keen blade, and cutting a deep gash just below the muscle severing an artery. Blood spurted a distance of five or six feet and every effort to stop the flow proved fruitless. Dr. Heilman was sent for as fast as fleet footed men could make tho trip, while the wounded man was carried to the residence of Samuel Parks, their board ing house. It was fully two hours from the time of the accident until the ar rival of Dr. Heilman, who done all within his power to save him, but with out avail. The poor boy remained conscious until about ten minutes be fore death, which took place at 4:30 the same afternoon. Carl Walters and brother came here from Grantonia, where they had just completed a contract with Mr. Johnson, with whom they have worked every season for some years. Mr. Johnson in conversation with the PRESS editor said: "Carl Waiter's death is a terribly sad piece of news to all of us; he was an industrious, sober and reliable young man; has worked for me considerable and I had the utmost confidence in him. During the summer he saved his earn ings and attended school in the winter, being desires of obtaining an educa cation. Lajjt winter he attended school at Lock Haven and hoped togo back this winter. Both young men reside at Grantonia, where they have three single sisters and a little brother de pendent upon them, also an aged father." The remains were taken in charge by funeral director Laßar and in charge of the grief-stricken brother, shipped to Grantonia last Friday morning. The funeral was held at Grantonia last Sunday afternoon, at two o'clock, and was the largest known at that place, testifying in unmistakable terms the esteem in which the deceased was held. Rev. Thus. W. MeKentey, pastor of M.E. church, officiated and spoke in highest praise of the dead. The pall bearers were all neighbors and close friends. The remains covered with beautiful flowers were laid to rest in Mt. Pleasant cemetry. Mr. W. D. Johnson, accompanied by a number of co-laborers from this section, drove across the hills from this place and at tended the funeral of their respected friend. Before leaving here for Grantonia the boys made a purse of §150.00, and sent it to the bereaved family. Whore in this broad land will you find larger hearted men, men who will divide their last dollar and never refuse an appeal for aid, than among the sturdy woods man of Cameron? They may appear, at times, to have a rough exterior but their hearts are as large as that of an oxen. Literary Prize Contest. Answer to question number B—The quotation is contained in Edmund Burke's speech in the British Parlia ment on conciliation with America, delivered March 22d, 1775. lie sup poses that in 1701 a celestial visit ant may have appeared, and jointed out to Lord Bathurst "a little speck, scarce visible in the mass of national in terest" and should have said to him: "Young man, there is America, — which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners, yet shall before you taste of death, show itself equal to tho whole of that commerce which now attracts the envy of the world." Burke's prediction, (uttered before the Declaration of Independence; has been fulfilled beyond even his own sanguine expectations.
