Will be a Handsome Edifice.
Contractor J.W. 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

Runaway.
H. H. Cloyes, manager for W. D.
' Johnson at this place, met with an ex
j citing runaway yesterday. While driv
ing up Fourth street with two horses
the wagon tongue fell to the ground,
frightening the horses and they ran at
a lively gait up Broad street. Mr.
I Cloyes stuck to the wagon until the
team reached Hauber'e wagon shop,
when he jumped. One horse received
an ugly cut on one leg. Mr. Cloyes
was considerably jarred but not in
jured.

A Woodsman Falls on an Axe and
Bleeds to Death.
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.
