DEATH'S DOINGS.
HUGHES.
William J. Hughes, aged 58 years,
alter an illness of two years, suffering
from the effects of paralysis, passed to
his reward on May 2'Jth, 1907, leaving
a wife and eight children, viz: Mrs.
Lewis Adams, Carl, Lily, Pa., Chas.
W. Hornell, N. Y., Edward, Elizabeth,
Richard, Margaret, Wm. Rue, of city;
and one brother, J£. J. Hughes, ofLilly,
Pa., and two sisters—Mrs. Margaret
Nissley, Altoona, Pa., and Mrs. Fred
erick, East Liverpool, 0., all of whom
were present at the funeral including
Mrs. E. J. Hughes, of Lilly, Pa., and
Mr. Nissley, of Altoona, Pa., and Mrs.
Carl Hughes, Lilly, Pa., also three half
brothers, who were not present at the
funeral.
The funeral was held at Free Metho
dist Church, on Saturday at 2:30 p. m.,
the services being conducted by Rev.
Bennett, assisted by the Presiding
Elder, Rev. Hill, of Bradford. The
services were largely attended.
Deceased came to Emporium in 1870
from Ebensburg, Pa., and has always
.been an industrious citizen and farmer,
rearing a large family. He was for
many years active in chnrch work and
often traveled miles to minister to the
afflicted when hardly able himself to
leave bis home. The afflicted family,
while they will find the loss hard to be
come reconciled to, will look with
pride to his consistent life work.
CLOSE.
The funeral of Mr. Edward F. Close,
which took place from his late home at
Howard Siding was one of the largest
ever held on West Creek. Mr. Close
was born at Lyons, N. Y., Aug. 25,
1842. He came to this county early in
Sept. 1863. When the civil war began,
Mr. Close returned to his native state
and home city, to enlist, and served
his country as a soldier three years.
He enlisted twice, the last time in
Company E, 111 th New York Infantry
and was honorably discharged near
Alexandria, Va., June 4, 18G5.
Mr. Close was married to Miss Maria
Pearsall, Sept. 10, 1805; they spent 12
years of their early life in the state of
Mich., returning to Cameron county in
1878. From this happy union one son
and five daughters together with their
mother survive. It can be truly said
of this man"he was not for God took
him." He was a devoted husband, a
kind father, a desirable neighbor, and
a christian gentleman. In his.early
life he united with the M. E. Church
and as the years advanced his life be
came more and more enriched in the
knowledge of God, and fruitful in all
christian graces.
DAY.
Seldom, if ever, has the PRESS been
called upon to chronicle the death of a
citizen more universally respected than
was our old time-friend and citizen,
John Day, Sr., at the remarkable age of
84 years, eight months and one day—
his death having taken place, at 8:30 p
m., Thursday, May 30th, 1907, at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. Helen
Metzger, on Fifth street.
Deceased came to Emporium in 1866,
as Supt.of the tannery firm oiHamilton,
Martin & Co., in which firm he held an
interest. He continued to have charge
of this company's interests here until
after the holdings passed to the Elk
Tanning Co., when he retired to pri
vate life, making his home with his
children. His life was an eventful
one, active and forceful. A short time
ago he handed his son John H., a paper
which we are permitted to copy:
"OBITUARY OF JOHN DAY, WRITTEN BY
HIS OWN HAND.
I was born Sept. 29, 1822. For
the first eighteen years of my
life I was a farmers' boy. The
next ten a school teacher. The
next sixteen an attorney-at
law. The next thirty a busi
ness man; since then I have liv
ed a retired life.
JOJIN DAY."
Deceased leaves six children, viz:
Geo. L., Helen M. Metzger, Herbert,
John H., city; Fannie M. Poughkeep
sie, N. Y., and Frank F. city. His wife
died in 1870. Mr. Day has one brother
living, R. L. Day, aged 78 years, who
resides at Webster, Mass.
THE FUNEHA I.
The funeral service* were held at
Presbyterian Church last Sabbath
afternooi: and WAS very largely attend
ed by are c : tizens, all eager to pay a
last mark of respect to an upright citi
zen and consistent christian. Dr.
Johnston, the Pastor, delivered a very
able discourse. The singing by a large
choir was admirably rendered
A 8 WE KNEW HIM
File PRESS in looking back over the
forty years that we knew the deceased
have many, very many, kind remem,
brances of his kindness and good cheer.
We always delighted to have him call
for a visit or talk for we were sure to
learn something. While a very co n.
servative man Mr. Day always had the
greatest desire for the material ad
vancement of Emporium and was ever
ready to stand his share of expense. In
business he was honest to the cent and
never knowingly wronged any person.
Positive, exact and einphatic-in every
question—business, religious or polit
ical. Politically he was of the Charles
Summer stripe and seldom, if ever
crossed the line to assist the enemy of
these sentiments expounded by the old
school statesmen. Mr. Day in 1882 was
the Republican nominee for member of
Assembly but failed of election by fifty
four votes and often laughingly refer
red to his campaign mistakes. He
would not allow anythine contrary to
his ideas of right to be dono even to
secure his election. John Day was an
honest man and leaves a shining monu
ment for the youth to point to. Fare
well, old friend.
Base Ball.
On Thursday last our people
practically all, had a day off, and took
occasion to visit the park and witness
the base ball games between Empori
um and Johnsonburg. The attendance
was the largest of the season. The
first game opened with Johnson
burg at the bat, and their half ended
with a goose egg. The locals scored
in their half and from that on were un
able to count. It was evident from the
opening of the second inning that it
was an off day for the homo team.
Their batting was somewhat below
their usual average and it seemed
when they did hit the ball it landed
safe in a fielder's mit, this and numer
ous errors at critical stages gave John
sonburg the game 6 to 1. The boys !
from the paper city were morefort.u !
nate, their hits were landed more ,
safely, and while the errors were num- :
erous they were not made at times i
that would favor the home team, j
Our fans who had not seen the team i
play before this seas >n were dissatis- j
fied with the showing the home team j
made on this occasion. Overturf at i
third played his usual good game, as
did Liston at first.
The second game was a repetition of
the first. Hemphill, who had pitched
the first game, started the second but
was relieved by Weaver. Score 9to 3
in Johnsonburg's favor.
Emporium team was defeated at
Johnsonburg Tuesday by the score of
13 to 5.
St. Marys will play here on Saturday
afternoon, June 8.
Automobile Accident.
On last Thursday afternoon a party
of Ridgwaj'ites, composed of Emil
Carlson, E. H. Amory, Miss Nine
Ravenscroft and Miss Gertrude Grant,
met with quite an automobile accident
while coming to Emporium. About
one-fourth of a mile west of Howard
Siding, the machine which was speed
ing at a rapid rate struck one of Ship
pen's mud holes, upsetting the auto,
throwing the occupants down an em
bankment, Carlson, the chauffeur and
one of the ladies being pinned under
the wreck. Mr. Carlsqn had his left
arm severely injured and his back was
badly burned by the gasoline firing.
The other occupants escaped with but
slight injuries. Dr. DeLong was wired
for and went to scene of the accident
and brought the injured man to the
New Warner. He was taken home
on Sunday, yet very sore and in great
pain—his left arm being paralyzed.
Our local "auto fiends" promptly re
lived the unfortunates by offering the
use of their machines. It is a miracle
that the ladies escaped injury.

First Under Uniform Ballot.
The primary elections held through
out Pennsylvania, under the new law,
was pulled off hist Saturday, from 2 to
8 o'clock, p. m. In this county there
was little contest, except for County
Treasurer on the Republican side Mr.
Henry Ludlam was the only Demo
cratic candidate, although many of the
organization democrats swore they
would defeat his nomination, they laid
down like lambs. On the Republican
side there were many candidates, five,
and they made an active fight for the
nomination, but the horrible rainy day
kept the vote down in the rural dis
tricts. The vote was canvassed yester
day with the foliowing result:

Chairman Republican County Com
mittee showed L. W. Gleason re elected
without opposition, while the demo
crats elected Geo. P. Shafer, D., over
B. Egan, D., by a vote of 30 to 37.
The plan of voting is fraught with
many dangers, unless the election offi
cers are compelled to refuse tickets to
votrs known to be of the opposite po
litical faith. Time may cure the law
of defects, but the first trial was fir
from being an improvement over the
old plan.
Mr. Howard made a remarkable con
test and developed strength that was
never dreamed of *by the older men.
In accordance with the pledge made
by the principal candidates to support
the successful candidate it is their duty
to cordially support Farmer How
ard. Republicans, attention! Forward.

Accident at Huntley.
As night watchman Giardino Angtlo
was coming up the P. R. R. tracks frcta
Huntley station about eight o'clock
Monday morning he stepped off of the
east bound track to get out of the way
of an east bound freight and walked
directly in front of a west bound train.
He was struck and knocked about
twenty feet to the side of the track.
The injured man was taken to Drift
wood on a hand car, where Dr. Corbeit
attended him. He was painfully but
not seriously injured. Owing to a cot
bed which he was carrying on his back
the force of the blow was reduced. Ho
was taken back to Huntley after being
cared for and is resting comfortably its
can be expected.
