the Odd Fellows Ilall being used for

DEATH'S DOINGS.
NEWTON.
ELM KB F., the eldest eon of MR. and
Mrs. Henry J. Newton, died Friday
morning, April 28th, i.t the home of
his parents, West of town, aged twe nty
two years and seven months. Dea'h
was due to a rapid development of
pulmonary trouble. For some months
his health had declined—compelling a
relinguishment of his work, but it
was not until the last three weeks that
the serious nature of his malady be
came known and though every avail
able remedy was employed, it was evi
dent that his life could not be saved.
He was an industrious young man
and had many excellent qualities that
popu'arized him with his circle of inti
mates This was very evident from
the immense concourse of people that
attended his funeral, held from the
Rich Valley church last Monday after
noon. Servioes were conducted by the
Rev. O. S. Metzler, the choir of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church
rendering several impressive musical
selections.
Deceased leaves a father and mother,
two sisters and one brother to mourn
hia untimely death.

the most elaborate affair evergiven in
Emporium and reflects great credit on
the ladies of the church. The large
room was elaborately decorated and
could not have been made more beauti
ful if they tried ever so hard. It was
greatly commended by all visitors.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MA Y 3, 1905.
Accidentally Killed.
Daniel Cronin, aged about seventy
years, a professional tramp, ind a
baker in the civil war, was struck and
instantally killed by a time freight No.
83 west bound at 8 p. m., Saturday near
the Huntley tower. The old gentle
man was making his annual "back
door" calls in the direction of Sterl
ing Run, and was killed on what he
supposed to be the double track. He
has been through this place several
times in the last fiteen years and was
well known, and the general supposi
tion is, (that this being his first trip
through here since one mile of the
west end of double track was thrown
out of service a short-time ago and
used as a siding), that he thought he
was on the light track for a west
bound train and paid no attention.
The train was running at a high rate
of speed and he was knocked about
fifty feet; none of the train crew saw
him. The body was discovered by the
train crew on the second section who
notified track foreman W. W. Johnson
and he was the first man on the ground.
Justice of the Peace, B. Fefey, came
up from Driftwood, and acting" corner,
empanneled the following jury: L. II
Smith, C. W. Barr, C. J. Miller, Itay
Smith, Chas Taylor and A. W. Smith.
After examining the witnesses and
remains, the jury returned a verdict,
"that one, Daniel Cronin, met acci
df ntal death at Huntley, Pa., April
29th, 1905, at 8 p. in , by being struck
and instantaly killed by a fast freight
train on the Pennsylvania railroad,
and that no one was responsible for
the accident." Poor overseer, B. J.
Collins, took charge of the remains and
they were removed to the P.R. R., tool
house and prepared for burial, inter
ment bfinti made in the Huntley ceme
tery at the expenso of Gibson town
ship. Steps will be taken to look up
his record during the war. He has
told several in this place that he hasn't
done a days work since the closing of
the civil war, and always followed the
occupation of "Weary Willie," yet he
had reasonable good clothes, and was
neat and clean M.
J. F. S., our energetic correspondent
at Cameron, caught onto the following
additional particulars of the fatal ac
cident:
His body was literally covered with
tatoo marks. Among these were, M.
M S , and a United States Hag on left
arm; a crucifixion on the breast; on
left arm was the word "Constitution;"
on the right arm was another crucifix
ion, an anchor and a motto saying,
"In memory of my mother." It is not
known which train caused his death.
Huntley, Pa., May Ist 1905.
Birthday Parties.
Last Friday afternoon twenty-six
little ladies and gents were guests of
Miss Pauline Crandcll at her home on
West Fifth street. The little ladies
and gents certainly did have a lovely
and enjoyable time. We had the
pleasure of .a peep at the party when
they were seated at the supper table
chairs and table being of the kinder
garten order—and the sight would
make a beautiful picture. Miss Paul
ine, who was in her happiest mood,
was the recipient of many nice pre:
enls from her friends upon this her
sixth anniversary
The young ladies of Emporium are
certainly having an enjoyable lime,
these pleasant days. Last Tuesday
evening Miss Mary Jessop, in honor of
her flteenth birthday, pleasantly en
tertained twenty five of her young
lady and gentlemen friends. From the
pleasant reports received they must
have been royally entertained by Miss
Mary. She was the recipient of many
beautiful remembrances of the happy
occasion.
