Cole.
Rev. Mr. Dickson, pastor of M. E.
Church of Sinnamahoning, assisted by
the Rev. Mr. Robertson, rector of

The remains of Mr. Summerson were

city" by a large number of people.
The powder makers served as casket

Mr. Chas. T. Logan, also an official of
the Company, were present at the fun- ;

The floral offerings were very beaul-i- J
ful and were presented by the Com- |
pany, employees, P. O. S. of A., and
friends. The committee composed of j
Mrs. Nelson. Mias Mabel Buchannau
deserve great credit for their thought- ■
fill work.
In times of sorrow and distress there !
are always those who come to there- I
lief. The large amount of work to be!
done at a timojike this was, the one to |
lead in all arrangements has liis hands |
full. Mr. Victor E. Crum, surrounded !
by such assistants as Al. Ensign, E. D- i
Debuque, J. V. Strayer, E. S. Ran
dolph, and others, took lull charge of
every detail—gathering up the re
mains, (about 300 pounds in all) pro
curing caskets, and a thousand and
one other matters—deserve great credit
for their faithful work.

Teachers examinations will he held j
in the High School building on Friday |
morning, June 28, 1907. The hour for ;
the examinations will be at 8:30.

Williamsport Boom to Go.
The Williamsport boom will soon be j
demolished. A mill will be erected to j
saw the boom timber and sunken logs.
It will require two years to wipe out '
that once largest lumber boom in the
United States.
Overcome by Heat.
E. L. Mason, C. B. Howard & Co's
band saw filer, was overcome by heat j
last Monday. He felt himself getting
faint and left the filing room, going <
back of the mill, where he was found
some time after by one of the employ- i
ees in a precarious condition. Dr.
Heilman was hastily summoned and in
jected powerful restoratives, after
which he was taken to his room at the
City Hotel. He has been very fiick
ever since, but hopes to be able to Kit
up to-day. Mr. Mason, while a large
and powerful man, could not stand
King Sun's heat.
Not a Mind Reader.
A grocer in a nearby town happened
around when a farmer was unloading
severnl boxes filled with groceries
which he had ordered from a Chicago
department store. The groceryman
asked the farmer the price of the
articles purchased and then told him
that he could sell them just as cheap.
The farmer then said: "Is that so? I
take the home paper, but you seldom
or never advertise. lam not a mind
reader."
No Paper Next Week.
"Iu accordance with the time-honor
ed custom," the PRESS will not be is
sued July 4th week. Our office will he
open for the transaction of business,
each day except the Fourth. Please
bear this in mind, friends. Let the old
Eagle scream.
Base Ball.
Johnsonburg played here again Mon
day and Emporium received another
defeat. The home team should have
won the game by a nice margin.
While the game was hotly contested
from start to finish we had the game
won but for an over throw to first by
Gilbert in the eighth. Score.

The management is stjll on the hunt
for players and expects the team to be
further strengthened by July 4.
Cummings has been out of the game
the past two games, but will be in
again on Saturday. We need him
badly and will be glad of it.
Gilbert batted like a fiend, but was
somewhat off in his fielding.
Overturf had an off day, but is for
given, as all players are likely to have
them.
Liston had three singles and played
a magnificent game.
Fox on third is a marvel.
Fisher has forgotten how to bat.
Don't forget St. Marys on Saturday.
Eschbacb is holding up his reputa
tion as a catcher. He certainly can't
be beat.
"Look at us win the next four games
in succession. This is no idle boast."
Good. We like your nerve.
Drowned.
Last Sunday, two Polish men, em
loved at the furnace, went to enjoy a
ewtm above Howards old mill dam, but
on their arrival, the water looked too
deep for one of the men, and he de
cided not to venture it, as neither of
them could swim, but the other man
would not heed, and made just a few
steps and sank in about eight feet of
water and never raised again. Word
was sent to the furnace and Jas.Wright
went to the place and after diving
three times, brought up the lifeless
body. The drowned man leaves a wife
and four children in Poland to mourn
bis death.

came the wife of Almeron Nelson, who

MCCARTHY.
John E. McCarthy, aged 28 years,
died on Saturday, June 22d, 1907, at
Emporium, Pa., at the residence of his
sister Elizabeth—Mr. and Mrs. S. J.
Hauber—on Fifth street. Deceased
was the eldest son of Thomas aud Eliza
McCarthy. Upon the death of their
mother, when small,children they were
placed in Erie Orphan's Home, where
the young man was educated. At the
age of 16 he entered the employ of the
Erie St. R. R, and continued one of
their trusted employees until Jan. 28th
last when that fatal maludy, consump
lion. compelled him to give up work,
coining to Emporium about six weeks
ago to the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. j
Hauber. He gradually failed.
John was a good boy, thoughtful en
ergetic, economical and kind. We
knew him well and feel that his spot
less life and high-mindness guided him
from dangerous ways. During his busy
life he managed, by strict economy to
save some money and pay his way dur
ing his illness, and when his Master
called, he left directions to prepare his
funeral arrangements, to purchase a lot
in St. Mark's Cemetery, to erect mark
ers on the graves of his departed par
ents, as well as his own. He showed
that he was grateful to those kind sis
tors at Erie who cared for him iu his
youth by wiling them §3OO,
The funeral services took place at St.
Marks Catholic Church, Monday morn
ing, High Mass being celebrated by
Father Downey. The life of this
young man was food for an eloquent
sermon by Father Downey, who touch
iuely referred to the grand life of the
deceased and pointed others to his ob
ject lesson.
Beautiful floral offerings from Supt.
and Mrs. Topper, K. of C., and C. M.

ducted a good respectable house.
Severe Storm.
The big electric storm last Saturday
afternoon did considerable damage in
this section. While the ball game be
tween Johnsonburgand Emporium had
started and the grand stand crowded,
the excitement was noticeable, espec
ially among the ladies, who became
very nervous. Several buildings were
slightly damaged in town among the
number being the houses of Andrew
Blinzler, Robt. B. Warner, H. L. Burns,
occupied by Mr. Mulcahy, and other
damages. The heavy rain damaged
Jos. Kaye's new lawn quite severely
It has rained almost incessantly ever
since.

The famousCherokee Indian baseball
club will play here on Mopday, July 8.
Two games daily, afternoon and night.
Don't forget the date. They carry a
canvas fence 1,200 feet long and ten
feet high, also a portable grand stand,
and travel in their own Pullman hotel
car. The greatest achievement in base
ball history is the night game. The
following is from the Princeton Leader:
"At night the 50,000 candle power
light-t evidenced themselves and the
Indians with their lights aflame entered
the night game and then the Prince
tons ably demonstrated their skill and
ability on the diamond by a victory of
6-3. The scene was fully up to the ad
vertised display."
Consulting Specialist.
John A. Johnston took his son Lloyd,
who severely injured one of his legs
"while coasting last winter, to a Buffalo
specialist for treatment. The little
man has suffered terribly for months
and we hope may receive some help.
Not a Cancer.
For some weeks Mr. John E. Smith
and his friends have been greatly ex
ercised on account of a growth on his
tongue having been pronounced of
cancerous nature. Mr. Smith informs
us that a specialist tells him it is not a
cancer, but might develop into one if
allowed togo without attention. This
will be good news to his many friends.

New York Lite's New President.
After a contest nnparalled in its se
verity, the New York Life Insurance
i Company has been reorganized under
its new Board of Trustees.
They represent the "administration,"
they were chosen by a majority of 138,-
000 and they undoubtedly stand for the
policy and the man of overwhelming
mass of policy holders desire. The first
election has shown, as there was every
probability it would show, that the
agents who had persuaded men to in
sure retained their confidence after
they were insured.
The new trustees have chosen as
president Darwin P. Kingsley, a man
who passed through all the fire of in
vestigation unscathed. No charge was
made against him. No dubious act
was uncovered. He haa held every
post in the company, agent, field agent,
superintendent of agencies, third vice
president, first vice-president and now
president, succeeding Alexander E.
(Jrr, who haa held the place for a year
and a half, with the avowed intention
of retiring as soon as the company was
reorganized.
This reorganization has now been
effected. It has resulted in the choice
of a man connected with the past
management of the company, a son-in
law of John A. McCall, the former
president; but in addition, a man of
long experience, high character and
enjoying the confidence of the business
world. A graduate of the University
of Vermont, he is a trustee of the insti
tution, selected to deliver address
at the centennial, and enjoying the
esteem of his fellow-alumni.
He stands for the best in the calling
he represents; he brings to his work
skill, knowledge and reputation and he
comes to his post fully "cquainted with
its needs and duties. The investiga
tions and exposures of the past, the
heavy vote cast for a new board and
the consciousness that the policy hold
ers exercise this power to vote on a
scale never before 'known, render it
certain that the new administra
tion will take up its work with a sense
of responsibility, a determination to
I safeguard every right and a vigorous
j policy, such as will continue the growth
and maintain the security of the
society.—Philadelphia Press. The
New York Life's representative in
Cameron county is 11. H. Mullin, Em
porium. Drop him a postal to call on
you.
The Black Bass Law.
Misinterpretation of the law in re
gard to the catching of black bass
may cause trouble for careless fisher
men.
A section of the law provides that it
is illegal to catch black bass under
nine inches in length in any waters
"mentiened under the first section of
this act." The first section of tiie
act, however, refers only to lakes and
bays, and the nine-inch limit therefore
applies to those waters only. The
minimum size for other streams is the
same as last year—seven inches. One
section of the new law that it will be
well for fishermen to keep in mind is
section eleven, which reads as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any person
to catch or kill more than ten black
or yellow base in one day. Any per
son violating the provisions of this
section shall, on conviction, be sub
ject to a fine of ten dollars for each
fish so captured and killed, over and
above the amount therein named, or,
in default of payment, be imprisoned
in the county jail for a period of one
day for each dollar of fine unpaid."
Furnish the Evidence.
MB. EDITOR: -
_ I am officially receiving communica
tions similar to the following, but in
every instance no name signed. If our
citizens wish to aid in the punishment
of violators of law they must furnish
at least a clue to work on otherwise
we are powerless to act:
"Why is it that the foreigners on
| Tannery Hill are allowed to sell
i beer at five cents a bottle, and whiskey
j without a license all day on Sunday to
[ men and boys. You can go into their
| house and in it will find lots of men !
and boys brinbiiig almost any Sunday. |
especially after pay day. See yourself ;
some time and see how many "drunks" |
come down from tannery hill. An ;
American and a cripple was made to i
cut it out. Now. why are not the for- I
eigners made to cut it out. It is a I
shame on Emporium to have such '
places."
Now this party complained of re- i
sides in Shippen and it is not in my
powder to act, but if the writer will ! 1
furnish the names the State's attorney ! '
no doubt would act promptly. i 1

HOTEL PORTER SHOT
LANDLORD AND WIFE.
CLEARFIELD, June 25. —An attempt
ed double murder and suicide to-night
has thrown Clearfield into a spasm of
excitement such as the town has net
experienced in many moons.
The victims of the murderous as
suit were Daniel Leipoidt, proprietor
of the Allegheny house, and his wife,
and the would-be murdererand suicide
is William Moore.
Moore had been employed about the
hotel an a porter aud this afternoon
was discharged by Mr. Leipoidt. This
seems to have so angered him as to
bring about the shooting.
About 10:45 o'clock to night Mr. and
Mrs. Leipoidfc and a Miss Hooper were
sitting in the parlor of the Allegheny
house when Moore entered aud draw
ing a revolver, shot Mr. Leipoidt, the
ball entering through the jaw and ccm
ing ont above the left ear.
He then turned the revolver on Mrs.
Leipoidt but the shot only inflicted
a slight scalp wound.
Evidently believing he had kilka
both he placed the revolver to his own'
temple and fired again, the ball enter
tering above his left eye.
How Miss Hooper came to be spared
will probably never be known for
Moore will probably never recover con
sciousness. His injuries are regarded
as fatal.
Mr. Liepoidt's wound is serious, but
at midnight he was resting easily find
has a good chance for recovery,
Mrs. Liopoitd's wound is only a
slight scalp wound.
The revolver with which the sheet,
ing was done was a 32 caliber weapon.
