IHE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 41. Judge Green Will Not Contest Republican Leaders Decide to Drop Fight on Judge-elect Hal!. Special to The Phiia. Inquirer, LOCK HAVEN, PA., Dec. B.— Judge B. W. Green, of Emporium, will not con test the election of Harry Alvan Hall, of Ridgway, for President Judge of this district. This conclusion was reached at a conference held this week among some of the working Republi cans of the district. The official count of the district shows a majority of 164 for Hall, this margin being so small and the fact that the judges of electiou threw out about a dozen of Green votes in this county and the cry of fraud in one of the Italian districts of Elk county, made a contest probable. Judge Green's lieutenants in the dis trict carefully weot over the ground and sifted all these charges and then decided a contest would be both an ex pensive and losing venture. Three President judges of adjoining districts would be required to hear the evidence and pass final judgement. Every ballot in every voting district in the three counties would have to be carefully scrutinized and passed upon and in the end they feared Hall would be given his Beat. The opposing candidates have for years been close personal friends and even after the fiercest political contest ever waged in this district these friend ly relations still exist. Judge Green had an up-hill campaign from the start and made a most gallant fight and will return to his practice of law with more friends than he has ever known. The Philadelphia papers last Sunday, as well as other papers in this district, Btated that the proposed contest in this j udicial district had been abandoned, which i 3 correct. In fact no contest had been commenced neither were any papers filed. It was deemed best that no such reflection should be cast upon the judiciary of this district.' The clean contest made by Bin. B. W. Green for election as President Judge was creditable to him iu every particular. Those who so loyally sup ported him have no regrets at the show ing made in every county in this district, as he rau ahead of the ticket on an' average of about fifteen hundred votes, and based upon former years, the re duction of the majority was fully twenty-five hi dred. Judge Green's numerous frier.ds have no apologies to make on account of hit candidacy, and every reason to feel of the splen did endorsement received by our worthy citizen at the polls.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1906. ■ v I JOHN W. KRINER. DEATH'S DOINGS. KRINER. Ex-Sheriff John W. Kriner, aged 61*' years and nine months, died at his residence, West Fourth street, Satur day evening last at 8 o'clock Mr. Krinerd ha been in failing health for several years, although continued to direct his contracting business up to a few hours prior to his death. On Saturday morning the third and last stroke laid him low, rendering him un conscious until evening, when he peacefully passed away. Mr. Kriner came to Emporium in 180.1 from Lan caster county and assisted in the erec tion of the Biddle House (now New Warner), and after its erection left for the west returning to Emporium in 1868, when he married his deceased wife, lie actively engaged in business as a contractor and erected most the prominent buildings and residences of Emporium, among the number being the Court House, First National Bank, M. 12. Church, Catholic Church, and many residences. He was a very HUC eessul business man and accumulated considerable property. Sheriff Kriner has taken a lively in terest in public afTairs and held many offices of trust and importance, the most prominent being Sheriff in 1888, 1889 and 1900, discharging the duties faithfully and well. In to public office he was an active member of Emporium Fire Department, serv ing for several terms as foreman of Rescue Hook and Ladder Co. The company turned out in largs numbers at the funeral. Deceased was a member of Empori um Lodge, 382. F. & A. M., Emporium Chapter, No. 227, of Emporium, and KnappCommandery,Ridgway. A large attendance of Masons at the funeral, in fact the funeral was conducted by the Masonic bodies. Mr. Kriner was initated into Emporium Lodge, July Bth, 1874 and passed all the chairs many timeß and was considered one of the best old-time workers. The writer has been closely associat ed with the deceased, officially and al so in business, and found him, [very careful and methodical. John Kriner, like all of us, had his faalts, yet his heart was Farewell, brother. Those friends of deceased who were familiar with the oddities and peculiar ities of John W. Kriner will not be sur prised at the recital of an incident that took place last August between Kriner (who had the contract for the erection of an addition to the east ward school) and Mr. B. Egan, member of the school board building committee, the latter ordering some defective flooring re moved. This was meat for John, who immediately opened fire on Egan, and replied, "its better than the rotten lumber used in caskets." Out came the flooring and both Egan and Kriner started up town, Kriner remarking to Egan that he would sell a fine casket that day and when asked who was dead Kriner replied, "no one, yet," as he entered Mr. Egan's store and re quested that ho be shown a solid oak casket, which did not suit him and call ed for something better. Mr. Egan then uncovered a solid San Domingo mahog any, hand carved casket, which had been ordered for a special purpose. "I want that for myself," said Kriner, "and now let me see the best trimmings," which he selected, including oxidized i silver handles and corded silk trim | mings for the interior. He requested j that the casket' be locked when pre j pared for burial, one key be delivered ! to his sisters, the other be retained by | tho undertaker. The casket was a ' beautiful piece of workmanship and very expensive. This was typical of John Kriner. THE KUNERAIJ. Tho funeral services were held at j the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Pearsall on Wednesday at two o'clock, where deceased had continued to re side upou the death of his wife, Mre. Pearsall, his niece, having made her home therejlfor many years. During all of Mr. Kriner's sickness his faithful niece ministered to his every want and proved'"a faithful friend to the last. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr Johnston, pastor of First Pres byterian Church, who delivered a very appropriate address. A male quartett rendered the singing in a very beauti ful manner. Beautiful floral pieces were gathered around the handsome casket, tokens of esteem from the Masonic bodies, Rescue Hook,, and Ladder Co., and friends and relatives. The long concourse, headed by the Masonic bodies, in carriages, slowly wended its way to the silent city, also proceeded by the fire department. At the cemetery the Masonic burial cere mony was rendered when the mortal remains of John W. Kriner were con signed to mother earth. The following relatives from out of town atttended: Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Nissley, Miss Henrietta Kriner and Mr. John Kriner, Mt. Joy, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Nissley, Harrisburg, Pa.; Mrs. H, Cornelius, Lewisburg, Pa. * # # MACDONALD. TNe many friends of Miss SARA D. MACDONALD, second daughter of one of our respected families, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Mac Donald, were shocked be yond expression last Saturday upon receipt of a telegram from Denver, Col., from her mother, announcing the death of Miss Sara, at the St. Joseph Hospital. One year ago last August, accompauied by her sister, Miss Mar garite Branson, they went to the moun tains and several western sanitariums hoping the change of climate might restore her failing health. After re maining some time at Salt Lake, upon the advice of physicians she went to Denver, Co., accompanied by her n other and continued to improve with hope of recovery. About three days before her death she contracted a severe cold and it wafi thought advis able to remove her to a good hospital, whore she would have every attention. Death had claimed a shining mark and she passed away at 11 a. m., Saturday, Dec. Bth, 1906, aged 28 years, three months and seven days. Mrs. Mac- Donold started east with the remains on Sunday, but when she reached Omaha, Neb,, she was not able to pro ceed on her journey. Her brother, who met her at the depot, prepared to accompanied her to Emporium, wired that theafflicted mother was not able to continue on the long journey. There mains arrived here on Wednesday noon train and conveyed to the family residence on Fifth street, where her grief stricken father and sisters await ed her. Miss MacDouald'sEmporium friends, in fact all Emporium was her friend, deeply sympathize with this terribly afflicted family. The young lady was the life of our younger set and before ravages of disease had undermined her constitution, was a happy, joyous and jolly girl. Here where she has lived all her life she was university respect ed and esteemed, The funeral will take place at St. Mark's Church, Friday, Dec. 14th, 1906, at 9a m. The large church will not be adequate to seat the friends of the family. The following friends irom out of town have arrived to attend the fun eral.

V JESSOP. Charles Henry Jessop, aged 64, after a sickness of several years, saffering greatly from Bright's disease, which continued to grow worse until hist summer, when he gave up business cares, after heroically battling to set his affairs in shape for what he knew ; must surely come. Deceased leaves a j widow and four children to mourn his | death. Mr. Jessop came to Emporium, we think in 1880, to work in Emporium tannery under his brother-in-law, Chas. I Bonham, and continued in that capa j city until tho trust took charge. Mr. Jessop was a man of great sympathetic 1 nature and allowed many to impose upon his good nature and kindness, thus robbing him in his declining years of hundreds of dollars. Mr. Jessop was a member of the Masouic Lodga of Emporium, and we believe continued ; to maintain a membership in tho A. O. U. W., which carried an insurance of $2,000. The family of deceased is cer tainly entitled to and has the sympathy ! of our people iu their great affliction. The funeral will be held from the family residence.

This (Thursday) evening about six , o'clock our citizens were greatly shock ed by a telegram from Hornell, N. Y. announcing the sudden death at five o'clock this afternoon, of MRS. MARY ELIZABETH BRADY, Wife of our towns j man, Mr. Andrew Brady, manager of, the Emporium Iron and Coal Co. Tho , shock was exceedingly heavy to Mr. j Brady, who did not believe his wife | was so near dissolution, in fact the , physician in charge of Steuben Sani-! tarium at Hornell, reported that Mrs. I Brady was quite bright and resting I easy one hour prior to her death, which 1 came peacefully and calmly. Deceas ed leaves a husband and three children, Mr. Hubert Andrew, (student in State College,) Mr. Edward Freeman, at Marion, S. C., and Miss Marion Eliza beth Brady, Washington, Pa. Mr. Brady leaves to night for Hornell to convey the remains to Washington, Pa. where deceased's aged mother, Mrs. Porter, resides, also Mr Brady's mother. Mrs. Brady is also survived by one brother, Capt. A. M. Porter, Treasury Dept., Harrisburg. The fun eral will be held at Washington, Pa., possibly on Sunday—the family and friends having been summoned. Mrs. Brady during her residence in Emporium, made many friends, al though in feeble health, having been sorely afflicted for twenty years, she was unable to enter much in society. A lady of superior intelligence, a grad uate of Washington Seminary, class of 1880, bore herself in that mild, digni fied manner, yet always pleasant and affable. Mr and Mrs. Brady were J married in 1883. Deceased was in her 44th year. Our citizens deeply sympa thize with the afflicted family. We re gret the lateness of the hour prevents our making a more extended tribute to this excellent lady, whom wo, as well as all who knew her, greatly respected. Lost.
