EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1906. Dynamite Explosion A! Works of Eastern Dynamite Company ONE MAN WAS Bl(WN 10 ATOMS. (rank W.Taylor was Seriously Injured and was Taken to Willinmsport Hospital. Last Saturday morning a few minutes before twelve o'clock, Wesley Sylvester Burfield, aged 52 years, was blown to atoms, while working over the "catch basin,'' used at the separating house, of the Eastern Dynamite Company's works (formerly Climax), the cause of the accident of course being a mystery. The supposition is that Burfield must have fallen while handling a pail of glycerine. The poor man was blown to pieces, only a few small fragments being found, which Undertaker Egan gathered together and prepared for burial. Mr. Burfield has always been a hard working industrious man, hav resided here for many years. He is the father of eleven children, all of whom are at the family residence on Portage treet, except Mame, who is wife of Fred Husted and resides on East Allegany Avenue. The shock was terrible to the afflicted wife and children—the eldest, William, being 23, while the youngest, a daughter only two and a half years old. The sorely afflicted family are indeed en titled to our greatest sympathy. The funeral took place at St. Mark's Cath olic Church on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock and was largely attended This is the first fatality that has taken place at this works in over thir teen years. None of the other build ings were damaged. Frank W. Taylor who resides on W«t Allegany avenue, was working on the hilllside, about} two hundred feet from the explosion and was struck with flying stones and was thought at first was fatally injured. Drs. DeLong and Smith were hurried to the scene of the explosion and found that Mr. Taylor's right leg had been broken between the thigh and knoe and terri bly shocked. The Company hastened the injured man to the Williamsport hospital, in chargs of Asst. Supt P. T. liters. Vv'e are pleased to learn he is improving. Benjamin VV. Green For President Judge. Mr. B. W. Green, a prominent mem ber of the Bar of this county and well and favorably known throughout the state and especially in this judicial district, is strongly urged for Presi dent Judge w (in fact ho appears to be the logical suggestion) for the vacancy occasioned hy the death of Hon. Chas. A. Mayer. Mr. Green was admitted to the Bar of Cameron county in 1872 and has been in continuous practice ever since. lie is an able attorney, in the prime of life and popular through out this section of the state. His i appointment by the Governor to fill | the vacancy is strongly urged by many I friends throughout this district and all honorable means will bo advanced to i secure his appointment. The Bar of this county is unanimous j in its endorsement of Mr. Green. Our people, regardless of party, are strong ' !y supporting Mr. Green for appoint | ment by the Governor. Former Resident of Potter. Word has been received here of the death of Orlanda Chase, which occurr ed the first of the week, in Harriman, Tenn., where ho went some fourteen v« .Tri ago and where he has since re sided. Deceased was the son of Mr. and .Mrs. Abram Chase and a brother of Mrs William r helps., Death came as a result of typhoid fever. Many of the old residents of the county will remember Mrs. Chase as Miss Carrie Davenport, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Davenport. Mrs. Phelps started yesterday for Harriman in response to a telegram announcing her brother's death. Potter Comity Enterprise. Orlando Clutse was a nephew of Mrs. Walaee Dickinson, of this place.

('.'II fin oil 'phone. W. L. DIXUK, 7-tf. Near Porlage Bridge, Voice of the Eress. The Republican party of Pennaylva- ! nifi is largo enough, strongenougb, fully j competent and able to select a state ticket, composed of sound, honest |and > able gentlemen that shall meet the ' endorsement of the old guard, the \ always to-be relied upon Republicans, j and ask no oclds of the coetrie of kick- I ers who are eager ahd greedy for ] power. As for pleasing this horde of chronic growlers we would not waste an hour. Nominate true blue Repub licans, and "fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." OLD TIME CONVENTION. (Harrisburg Telegraph.) R's up to the Republican State con vention, and there's nothing in the situation to justify the hysterical gym nastics of certain gentlemen who are most of the time outside the Republi can breastworks. We are sincerely of the opinion that wise nominations by the convention June 6th will deter mine the result of the November elec tion. It's going to be an old-time convention, and that very fact is hopeful. MUST NOT BE DICTATED TO. [Wellsboro Advocate.] But in their efforts to assume com mand the Lincoln party hierarchy seem not to waver in their determination to force upon the Republican party a list of candidates for the Statejticket. Un able to find a buffer in Justice Stewart, they will put forth another man for I Governor and with him men for the other places, men not selected by the people but by a lew self-authorized I leaders, would be dictators, greedy and ' gluttonous for power to control and 112 force the men their egotistical minds j select upon the Republican convention i and the State. The Advocate repeats that the Re- J publican party of Pennsylvania would | stultify itself if it allowed for one i moment any dictation from this coterie ! of self-appointed bosses Aye, they j howl that they are against bossism. j At the same moment a paltry dozen of I these same anti-machine men will hold | a conference, discuss what they want j done and who shall be their chosen j men for the State ticket. Then they ! issue forth in the purity and beauty of I self-righteousness and announce their j choice which the Republican party i mUat accept. Think of the great Lincoln party, j Bosh, it's but the dictatorship of the j Lincoln party endeavoring to get con- j trol of the Republican party. What the people of the State will | have is a free acting State convention j The delegates must not be dicated to. 1 TO PUT FUSION OUT OF BUSINESS. j [Wellsboro Agitator.] The Republican State Convention, t which will be composed of representa- j tive men directly chosen in open ' primaries by the people, will have an open field and a fair opportunity to j nsmo a strong and winning ticket, j We believe it will nominate such , a ticket, thus putting the Demo- j cratic and Lincoln Party plotters for , fusion immediately out of business, j May the best man win! A GOOD TICKET ASSURED. IDoylestown Republican.] There maybe efforts on the part of interests that have fought Republican ism in the past to receive a lion's share 1 of consideration on pain of disloyalty if not permitted to dictate, but it seems to bo pretty well settled that the dele gates are to have the say in the make up of the ticket and the combined will of the Republicans of the State will be ex pressed And such is the confidence in the ability of the Republican Party to meet important issues, that no one doubt that the result of that convention will be satisfaction all around and the placing of a ticket in the field that will reflect the great interests with which the State through its highest officers I has to deal. * A TKUI3 REPUBLICAN WANTED. | Punxsutawney Spirit. | The convention which meets at { llarrisburg on June li should nominate j a man for Governor whose character is j above reproach, whose ability is un ! questioned and whose Republicanism |is of the true blue variety. He should j be nominated without dictation byany i one in authority or intimidation by any i clique of self-constituted inspectors , and referees of the motives and cfil | ciency of the! Republican Party. Such i a man so nominated will be elected by i an overwhelming majority. SOMKTIIINU BESIDES KICKERS WANTED. (Oil City Bli/utrd. it would be an excellent idea for Moineof the reformers iu Philadelphia to widen tii» ir horiz a Milllciently i > see that the man to be elected our next Governor must have metblng to com mend him besides an • dablishcd record for kicking against bis own party and lending aid and eoml>>rt to the enemy. A CLEAN TICKET JTItX WIN. [Kane Republican,} Mow > in any man in the Lincoln or ganization a sume to say In advance of the Republican Convention that the bodv will nut nominate a ticket which every h«it.int Llucululte could con- HelentiouMly HUpport?

Last Saturday night, one of Livery man Logan's teams, with Moses Minard, as driver, was taking a party of Italians to their camp on North Creek when an accident took place that resulted in the death of Nicola Ferri, aged '29 years. The horses took fright at a pile of lumber and "shied" the entire load, horses and all, over the steep embarkment, the rig pinning down the occupants and injuring all more or less. Nicola Ferri lived only a minute or two after being taken out of the wreck. His neck was broken. He leaves a wife and one child in Italy, having been here only a few months. In his pocket was found a money order for |38.42 in favor of his wife. The re mains of deceased were brought to Emporium on Sunday and taken to undertaker Egan's and prepared for burial. Squire Larrabee summoned the following jury and held an inquest on Sunday D. Donovon, Erwin Parks, E. Hubert, Larry Smith, Frank Bair, Fred McCaslin. The jury rendered a verdict in ac cordance witli the above facis. The remains of the unfortunate young man were intered in the Catholic cemetery on Monday evening, the funeral being largely attended by his fellow country men. There is liable to be a suit against the township for damages, we are told. Lost. High School Pin, colors yellow and white. Between A. A. McDonald's residence and Warner House.
