THE OAMEROJN COUNTY J^RESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 37. IJVELV CAMPAIGNING i Canvass For Governorship Keeps Party Workers Aotive, COUNTIES GETTING INTO I NE Three Aspirants Are Now in the Field For Second Place on the t Ticket and Each of Therr. is Quite Hopeful. J- Correspondence. > Philadelphia, May 20. These are busy times with the active Republican workers throughout the state. Primary elections are being held for the selection of delegates to the Re publican state convention and a most aggressive canvass for the nominations to be made at Harrisburg on June lltli next is attracting widespread atten tion. The three leading candidates for the governorship, Attorney General John P. Elkin, former Lieutenant Governoi L. A. Watres and Judge Samuel \V. Fennypacker, each has a host ot friends at work and most strenuous campaigning is being resorted to in the struggle for delegates. Up to date it is "any man's race," but developments within the next ten j days may alter the conditions and g'.vi an opportunity to make a fairly re liable prediction as to the probable winner. (- ELKIN PUSHING AHEAD. Mr. Elkin's friends have reason to be pleased with the headway he has male during the last week. In a contest be fore the people with the name o? each candidate, Elkin and Watres, printed 011 the ballot, he defeated Mr. \Vatres in the Northumberland county pri maries by an overwhelming majority The Elkin men were on the aggressive from the outset and planned their cam paign carefully and thoroughly. Mr. Elkin visited the county and made ai. address to the voters. When it became manifest that the Elkin men were go ing to win Mr. Watres concluded not to make a speech in tuat county, al though he may accept invitations; to go elsewhere before all the delegate elections shall be held. There was a hotly contested struggle in Schuylkill county in which Mr. El kin's friends claim to have won live out of the eight delegates. Their oppo nents v.'ill not concede more than tour to Elkin. In Dauphin county the El liinUeS will pet six of the seven dele gates. Th'>y also got three in Arm strong and one in Forest. The return judges in Mercer comity held a meeting during the week t.nd adopted resolutions instructing the t'.irre delegates to the state convention from that county to vote for Mr. Elkin. The county convention had previously simply indorsed Mr. nakin's canr.Macy, without "instructing" the delegate'. WORKING FOR PENNYPACKFR. Members of the bar and other ad mirers of Judge Pennypacker 1.-.vo taken hold of his campaign in Phila- j delphia and are flooding the state with , literatttfe sounding his praises and urg ing his nomination for governor. A public meeting of leading citizens of the Quaker City is booked for this week and strong resolutions commend ing his candidacy have been prepared and will no doubt be adopted. Judge Pennypacker is generally respected by his fellow citizens of Philadelphia, re gardless of their political affliiatk r.s. He is looked upon as a most excellent judge and a brainy man. He has cer tainly reason to feel proud of the in dorsements he has received from r p resentativc and Influential citizen? of liis home county. A committee, which has charge of the campaign in his bo half, will canvass every county in the state in his interest before the state convention shall be held. Mr. Watres bagged another week, when rhe county rommP'e of MonTOe county met and elected one of his supporters as state delegate. Friends of Elkin in Monroe attempted to have a resolution adopted instruct ing this delegate to vote for the Indi ana county candidate, but the resolu tion was defeated. In Crawford coun ty the supporters of Dr. Flood, who aspires to Ihe lieutenant governorship, won the delegates to the state conven tion without opposition. The cornty committee had previously met and adopted resolutions giving Dr. Flood the privilege of naming his own r-ant'i dates for state delegates. Dr. Flood will make a canvass among the dele gates from the western counties with a view to having their united support in his candidacy for second place on the ticket. He will be confronted by the admirers of former Senator V-'ill iani M. Brown, of Lawrence, who is also after the backing of the western delegates for the lieutenant governor ship. While these two aspirants for Lieu tenant Governor Gobin's shoes are working the west, a new candidate h.ts been trotted out in the east. Mayor Lewis, of Allentown, with the l.el:iv,h delegation at his back, now wants to DP lieutenant governor. His home coun ty newspapers have begun to boom him and some of his admirers hav« made a pilgrimage to Harrisburg t« confer with party leaders there in bis interest. There will be strong delegations of citizens from different parts of Lehigh county, as well as Flood shouters fro:n Crawford, and Brown boomers from Lawrence, to work up interest !n the lieutenant governorship fight In tfc<> convention throngs at Harrisburg Major Brown, of Erie, who aspire!? to the office of secretary of internal af fairs, starts out with his home county flefegatiotl solidly for him and lie Tias a number of other delegations comrr.ir te" ♦o him. General Seliall was indors ed for onor by the Montgomery delegation, which also went on record in favor of Judge Pennypacker for governor. It is apparently too soon to venture a prediction as to the likely winner for this office. Senator Quay, who was elected a delegate to the state convention ij Beaver county last week, has not yet publicly indicated his favorite for tha governorship. institute Entertainment Course. Tho week of October the twentieth has been selected as the lime of the Teachers' County Institute. The selec tion of talent for the evening enter tainments was made last week and is as follows: Thomas Dixon, Jr , of New York, lecture subject to be announced. The Chicago Lady Entertainers; Ed ward P. Elicott Impersonator in the play of David Hurum, and the Ernest Gamble Recital Company. Absolutely a better list of attractions could not be brought together, and a rich treat is in store for the patrons of the Institute course. The largest counties in tho state have nothing better, and many have nothing of equal or approximate merit. This Course should receive the largest patronage of all classes of citi zens. Prof. J. W.

Neidbinger, .all of whom reported a very pleasant evening. Refreshments were served during | the evening by Mrs. Wm. Shnyder, Mrs. J. 1). Swope and Mrs.Wm. Keyes. The Broad Street Bridge. What is the matter that the bridge at the foot of Broad street is having noth ing done to it? We were informed that a liberal subscription had been taken up for the purpose of rebuilding it, but we fail to see any further move in that direction. This bridge and road is certainly a valuable improvement to both town and country and ought to be maintained. It is current talk among the Mason and Huston Hill people that it would be so nice if they could come over this way to Emporium but that there is no use trying it if they cannot cross the creek. The beauty of the drive along the crest of the mountain of itself ought to induce some body to push a bridge to comple tion so that the beautiful scenery all along the road might be more fully enjoyed. OBSERVER. Death of Miss Mary Heveriy. The remains of Miss Mary A. Hcv ! orlv, aged titi years, were brought to | Emporium from Danville, Pa., last Friday afternoon for burial, being met j at Buffalo Junction by many friends.

Years ago Miss Ilevorly | was employed in our public sehools j and was a lady of splendid education ' and popular as a teacher. DEATH'S DOINGS. COYLE. EASTER MAROARETTE COYI.K, aged 24 years, died quite suddenly last Mon day morning and the sad news was a great shock to the family and friends of the popular young lady. Miss Coyle, very acceptably filled the position of clerk in Emporium post ofllce, where she held the esteem of our citizens. Faithful in the dischargo of her duties she stuck to her post long after it was evident to her friends that her health was breaking down and that consumption had fastened its deadly grip upon her young life. All that the best medical skill could invent was used to check the disease, change of climate was tested but all seemed of no avail. Full of hope, the good young lady battled bravely and manifested a won derful degree of confidence and hope for life. Returning to Emporium from Wilkes-Barre on May 10th, where she had been treated by a specialist for several weeks, it was sad for her friends to witness the faded form of the once beautiful and joyous girl. Despite the decision of the doctors she continued to struggle against the fatal disease and only last Saturday asked that she be taken out for a carriage ride, which request was granted and seemed to do her good. On Sunday she was able to walk around her home and remarked that she had not felt so well in a long time. Her death occurred early Monday morning, from internal hemorrhage and sho peacefully passed away, sur rounded by her devoted mother, sisters and brothers. Poor Maggie. The death of this ' sweet young lady is especially painful j to the PRESS force, from whom we | have always received such courteous I treatment and had grown to respect I her lor the many true lady prin- ! ciples. No sacrifice was too great for her to make if it would help her loved ones or aid some needy person. A 'central favorite with our citizens— a! •' r-e her friends. She leaves be hind only the fondest recollections of a well spent life. The funeral service will be held at at St. Mark's Catholic Church to-mor row morning at nine o'clock. The following relatives and friends have arrived to attend the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. E. O'Connor, Mrs. 11. Mallett, Wilkes-Barre; Mrs. JamcsWil son, Blanchard; Misses Jennie and Jessie Norris, Kane.

Daniel Castello, one time partner of P. T. Barnum in the circus business, is in the county hospital dying from pneu monia. For the last year he has lived in a Chicago lodging house. Castello sold his half interest in the circus to Barnum in 1876 for $700,000 and started in the mining business in the Black Hills. He gradually lost his money, and he came to Chicago a poor man ten years ago. He is 67 years old. A drunken man staggered into church one Sunday and sat down in the pew of one of the deacons. The preacher was discoursing about prevalent popular vices. Soon he exclaimed: "Where is the drunkard?" The drunken man was just far ciuugh gone to think the call personal, so rising heavily, replied: "Hero I am," and remained standing while the drunkard's character and fate were eloquently portrayed. A few minutes later the preacher reached another head of his discourse, and asked, "Where is the hypocrite?" Gently nudging his neighbor, the drunkard said, in an audible whisper, "Stand up, deacon, ho means you this time. Stand up and take it like a man, Just as I stand ! It will do you good!" The Cameron county teachers' sum mer school opened with a very good attendance of students.
