Tn 1872 both ten and coffee were put upon the free list. The object of re- I moving the duty on these commodit ies was to reduce revenue, which was j in excess of our requirements at the | time, but some genius invented the ' phrase ''free breakfast table," which j was adopted by the spellbinders as | conveying the notion of unupual bene- ■ licence in the Government of the day. ! As a matter of fact no American was benefited in the least by the removal j of the tax on coffee, for the Brazilian j Government promptly clapped on an ; export tax equivalent to the duty which we removed, and the only im portant consequence of that "benefi ceuce" was that the Brazilian treaus ury got the tax instead of our own. ! The cost laid down in New York re- ! mained unchanged by any Tariff regu- j lations except that the "import price" increased nearly 7 cents a pound with- ! in two years, which might indicate that Brazil put on rather more duty i than we took off. The Brazilian ex- i port tax still continues, and it is esti- j mated that since 1872 the Brazilian ; treasury has gained over §300,000,000 ! at our expense- -San Francisco j •'Chronicle." t i* n ■ winnan-" mMi I .

Andrus, j whose tragic death in a train wreck | near Wilcox,Friday, June 16th,brought ! grief to so many hearts, occurred from j the homo of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. ; Jacob Andrus at Beechwood, last Sun day afternoon. The Rev. O. S. Metz { ler conducted the service in the pres i ence of a large and sympathetic com ! pany of people. Though not a church j member, his life was singularly upright : in the traits of sobriety, love and obe j dience to his parents, and in the con | sciencious regard for God's law, which I it ever exemplified. When the accident { to the train on which he was a fireman . was imminent, the opportunity to i escape was not taken advantage of tin I til his fellow trainmen had leaped from the engine The. beautiful spirit I of heroism and sacrifice thus displayed I cost him his life, for when it was his turn, in jumping from the locomotive, J he was caught under the wreckage I and material, for a harrowing tragedy ; was at hand. The grief of his father and mother, ; whoso chief support ho was, is very ; great and the sympathy of the commii | nity i« stirred to an unusual degree in ■ their behalf. Surviving him are a father and mother, five brothers and three sisters. He was 21 years and nine months old. FETTER. JAMES R. FETTER, aged 45 years, died at his family residence in Empori urn, last Friday, after a long and pain ful illness Mr. Fet'.er returned from Buffalo Hospital on June 10th and it was evident he had only a few days to live. All that a loving wife, and hosts of friends, could do to relieve his suf fering and pain were gently adminis tered. Mr Fetter came to Emporium in 1868 with his parents and has resid ed here ever since, having engaged in business. He was an industrious, good citizen, always taking a lively interest in whatever he was engaged. Careful and economical, he accumulated con siderable property. He leaves a wife and one child, a son; mother (Mrs. P. R. Beattie), two brothers, (A. C. Re novo, and John W., Canada,) and two sisters, i Mrs. Dan'l Kriner and Mrs. Ed. Morse , to mourn his death and remem ber the many beautiful examples he left as a monument to an upright lifr?. Hon- ' esty, faithfulness, charity and love of ! family. Mr. Fetter was bom at Farrands- ! ville, Pa., June 6th, 1861, was married ! July 3rd, 1889 to Miss Henrietta Morse, ! of Cameron, Pa. Fraternally James R. Fetter was i closely identified with Emporium Odd ; Fellowship, having joined Emporium ' Lodge, No. 984, in 1887, when he was j in his 27th year. From that day, Nov. I 17th, 1887, he has been active and j faithful in both branches of the order, i in fact the life of Odd Fellowship in! Emporium has, in a great measure, de- j pended more than once upon his worjj j and watchfulness He passed all the j chairs in both Encampment and i Lodge, was a member of the Grand I Lodge and at the time of his death was j Past Chief Patriarch and Past Noble i Grand. Therefore, it was eminently right and proper that he should be burried with the highest honors. Mr. Fetter was also a 'prominent member of Patriotic Order Sons of j America and practiced and loved the \ principles of the order. His cisket ' was draped with a beautiful silk flag. ' Brother Fetter was a member of the | Modern Woodmen of America and i carried an insurance policy for $3,000. THE FUNERAL. The funeral took placo from the j family resideuce on Fourth street last I Sunday afternoon and was very large- i ly attended. The services were con- i ducted by Rev. J. M. Robertson, Rector ' of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, a.s- I sisted by Rev. Robt. McCaslin, Pastor j of First Presbyterian Church, and Rev. | L. B. Twitcliell, Pastor of First Baptist ' Church. Rev. Mr.Robertson's remarks, very appropriate to the occasion, we are pleased to publish in part, viz: "We mourn today the departure o 112 one whom we have known long and well, and for whose memory we cher ish a deep and sincere respect. He showed that it is possible for a noble spirit to adorn the quiet walks of life. A dutiful son, a helpful brother, a de voted and faithful husband, an affec tionate and wise father, he stands forth in our thoughts as a representative of sterling domestic virtue. In these days when the sanctity of the home is de spised by so many and the sacred ties of the family are so often rent reck lessly asunder; it is a cause of rejoicing and a source of inspiration to see the most sacred of earth's ties so purely and faithfully cherished as it has been between the departed and his bereaved 1 partner. He was a model of' honest industry, manly and independent in spirit, gen erous and unselfish, a man of high minded principles which he maintain- 1 ed with quiet but firm stedfastness. Just and kindly he was in spirit, in principle, and in deed. Uncomplain j ing and patient in suffering, desiring to live for those he loved and for the i work which in the natural course of life he might yet have accomplished, he made a hard and protracted, though ! unavailing, struggle against our last great common enemy. His virtuous character was grouded in religious principle; his manly, brave, just spirit was sustained in life and in death by a real though unobtrusive faith in the divine." At the grave both clergymen con ducted the services, jointly. After the clergymen had concluded their services, the Odd Fellows con ducted their beautiful and impressive burial services according to the Ritual The services were in charge of Noble Grand Lewis M Ginter and Chaplain ! Chas. A. Van Lew. After these officers i ! had concluded their work each Odd I Fellow deposited a sprig of evergreen | upon the casket of their departed brother, when his remains were care fully lowered into the vault to await the resurrection morn. About 75 m"mbers of the beloved order of which i the deceased took pride in laboring for, headed the funeral column, in full regalia, an honor never before bestow j ed upon a deceased brother. I A mixed choir, composed of Messrs. i ('has. Felt, IT. 0. Olmsted, Geo. A. j Walker, Jr., and Fred Heilman, sang J several appropriate hymns. I RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN ATTEND ANCE * The following relatives and friends from out of town were in attendance j at the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Fetter, and daughter, Miss Lizzie, Renovo; Mrs. j Rena Mann, and Miss Mann, Lebanon; j Mr. and Mrs. Dan'l Kriner and son, YVhittimore Hill; Mr. and Mrs. Jas K. j Robbing, Williamsport; Mr. and Mrs. I T. M. Robhins and son, Westport; Mrs. j Gilbert Morse, St. Marys; Mrs. W. H. Morse, Cameron; Miss Blanch Morse, j Sinnamahoning; and others, whose | names we could not learn. THE FLORAL OFFERINGS. Die flornl offerings from family, i i friends and fraternal organizations ' | were beautiful and in great numberst j j speaking in loud praise of the. respec, lin which the deceased was held. The ] i set pieces "Pillow of Pansies" from family and "Odd Fellow Emblem" j i specially deserve mention. Serious Wreck. Johnsonburg Press, June !6th. One of the worst wrecks on the P. & 1 K. division happened this morning at I about 5:45, a short distance this side ■ of Wilcox, first class freight No. 80, 1 east bound, collided with train No. 97, I , first section, going west. The killed and injured are as follows: FIREMAN ANDREWS, Beechwood, of j train 97, jumped from train and was ; caught under roof of car. Burned and ; was dead when taken from the wreck, i 'A as taken to the undertaking rooms of John Amend, Wilcox. GEO. RILEY, Renovo, fireman on J -rain 80, badly scalded and burned, j i taken to Kane. ENGINEER HOLIDAY, Renovo, of i train 80, injured in jumping from train, j taken to Kane. I ENGINEER WEIDERT, Renovo, train ! escaped by jumping, injured on 1 j shoulder and bruised, taken to Kane, j CONDUCTOR PIERCE, train 97, slight I j ly injured. I CONDUCTOR MYERS, train 80, slightly I I injured. ; Train 12 from Kano, was turned J | around and run back to Kane with the j I injured men on board. The cause of the wreck is not exact-1 ! 'y understood, but it is explained that j | both trains being first class were sup- j posed to pass at Tambine, but one of j the engineers was slightly behind I : time. The trains met on a straight I : track, and the impact was terrific. About 15 cars were piled up into a ! promiscuous heap, which had become j almost a roaring furnace, and drove ' | back the rescuing party that was j searching for any of the luckless train men that might be imprisoned in the , wreck. On train 80 there was a tank ' of oil which was thrown forward over j the cars and immediately took fire I from the wrecked locomotives and the i flames consumed the entire wreckage ! The Renovo fire engine was taken up j to put out the fire and cool the wreck j in order that the debris could be clear- ! ed away. Reform from Within the Party. At! good citizens are working to the same ; end—the regeneration of Philadelphia. That be- i ing the case, why should a committee ofrepre- j sentative citizens, such as the one headed by Mr. j Darlington be made the subject of wrath on the j Part of other gentlemen and the targets of the j mud-slinging portion of the press? The Inquir-! er cannot sink to the gutter level of sandbagging ■ sensational journalism and handy epithets with ' it. This is a time for argument among those j who have only the interests of Philadelphia and i Pennsylvania at heart. It is the quiet thought | of the citizen that tells, not vicious onslaughts ' upon men of known integrity who honestly and | sincerely advance a method to secure lasting re- ' forms. The Committee of Seventy, the Committee of Nine, both have an undoubted right to argue j over the situation. Have not the members of ! the Darlington conference the same right? The I Committee of Nine seems to have the idea that ( the way to bring reform is to smash everything that bears the name of Republican, thus punish ing the entire party. On the other hand, the Darlington committee seeks to eliminate all that is undesirable in the party and leave the party j itself in a condition of absolute integrity. That j is the difference, and it is for the people to decide what their course shall be. The Committee of Nine is in the position of a doctor called to prescribe for a patient, the pa tient in this case being the Republican party. It has no remedy. It cooly condemns the patient 1 to death. That is not the treatment that Dr. Darlington prescribes. He thinks that the great Republican party is worth saving, therefore he would cut out the cancer-eradicate the evil— and purge of all impurities, leaving the patient strong and healthy once more. There is no differences of opinion as to the necessity for reform. There is no quarrel over that. Where the difference conies in is just here: The opponents of the Darlington committee want to hit a Republican head wherever they see one, and aim at the complete overthrow of the party in city and state. The Darlington conferees, on the other hand see no reason why the great Republican party! which is no corrupt, should be slaughtered, und insist that it as a party is in no wise at fault. This is no movement in behalf or an organiza tion. Indeed, it is aimed at the organization, and seeks to cut the party loose from the organi zation so that it may goon its own way free from stain or suspicion. We cannot see why the Darlington plan is nut < most praiwworthy in every way. It is.—Philadel- I phia Inquirer. I Wedding Bells. CORNWALL—JOHNSON.
