An East End Accident:. An accident, which might have re sulted seriously, happened last Satur-1 day evening, about 8:30 o'clock at the, j the foot of Spring street in East Em porium. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Web ! ster and daughter Miss Irene, whore driving from their home at Canoe Run. to this place, when they collided with j another horse and buggy. It was very j dark and consequently the drivers in either carriage did not notice the ap- 1 proach of the other. Mrs. Webster ; and Irene were thrown from the ear- I ■ riage and very badly bruised and the j carriage was a complete wreck. If the horse had not been a trust-worthy creature, the result would certainly have been serious, as the occupants j would have been dragged some dis- j tance in a runaway. The harness was i repaired and another carriage secured to complete the drive to this place. The occupants of the other carriage, whose names we have been unable to ascertain, were also badly shaken up and their carriage broken. Delightful Visit. Mr 3. Dr. Lulu 11. Fulton, of Chicago, I who recently visited her parents, Mr. | and Mrs. J. T. Healey, at this place, j and many friends throughout the t county, having a delightful visit, writes | the PRESS as follows: "Mrs. Sadie! Wiley-Jones and children invited' my- j self to enjoy an automobile trip to ! Austin and Costello, last week, return- i ing by moonlight, which was indeed . delightful trip over the mountains 1 Mr. E. S. Smith, the chauffeur, proved j himself exceedingly careful." A Free-Wiil Ottering and Ice j Cream Social. The ladies of Rich Valley wish to ! announce that a free-will offering will be held at tho Swesey school house, ! Saturday, September 18, afternoon and i evening, proceeds for the iocal min- j ister. Any offering in the line of farm j produce, groceries, dry goods or money j will be very acceptable. Ice cream ! and cake will bo served both afternoon 1 and evening. A good time assured to' all. Come bring your friends, enjoy ! a pleasant evening and help a good i cause. Perry-Cook Controversy. The public are certainly having an j I abundant of interesting reading hand | ed them on account of the recent J ! claims made by the famous Artie ex- j plorers Perry and Cook. The old pole i has caused hundreds of lives to bo i sacrificed and millions of dollars ex- j pended, yet hundreds of others will , sacrifice their lives to prove that both j Perry and Cook did not reach the j true goal. From present indications i there will be plenty of interesting read ing the coming winter months, inter-j esting to those who may contemplate a j trip to the North Pole. A Pretty Plant.

Sept. 11, 1009, I'ETEH 11. BEATTII:, aged «) years and six months. Peter Randolph .Beattie, an aged and much respected citizen of Emporium, passed quietly intc the unknown world, at hiN home on Sixth street, last Saturday morning, at nine o'clock. His dca'.li was caused by a general breaking down, duet" his extfer.i' ad- j ranced age, having lived to ho 80 ' years, six months and six <lii< s of age, i IMr. Beattie was a native of New , I i I v 4 ■ !i. iXkjMm PETE U IFAIMOEPIT BE ARM: Brunswi' !.. h;>v rig hern born at Koucli aubouc, N. 8., M.i, <-h 5, 1-9. He was first mprr'ed ■ Anna Graham, and to tiiis union• four children were born all of v, horn su- UH him. Mrs. Beattie died and w.i.' buri.-d nt k e'.i baobo, N. 1!. After tii« i! ;:itb of his wife, he came to Emporium, which was about 43 years ago and enjr ged in lumbering and worked for Cochran Brothers. Ho had a rough exterior but Potor R Beattie, "Uncle Peter" as he was familiarly known, had a pre, bighe:.rt in his body and it was full of kindness and charity. We knew intimately tho deceased and, like many of our citizens remember the long, patient and daily ministrations to a helpless invalid wife. Several years ago Mr. Beattie passed through a delicate and painful opera tion, one that little hope was given for his life, yet lie lingered and suffered, at times terribly. Despite his almost I constant suffering ho was cheerful and | welcomed Ml who visited his little | eigar store, .aid his patrons were many. As wo pen these few lines, huu | .ire Is of uiiles from Emporium, our j mind goes back to the "silent city of I the dead," and we see the mornful relatives, friends and brothers slowly wending their way to that boure from whence no traveler returns and we of fer a silent prayer for the repose of the soul of our departed friend and brother. Deceased was familiar to all and was universally liked, by young and old, and always had a cheerful smile and word for everybody and his presence will be greatly missed by our people. Twenty-six years ago he was married to Mrs. Robbins Fetter. They have lived happily together in their little Sixth street home, with the respect of all. He is survived by his wife and the following children, Mrs. Lizzie Kelley, of Emporium; John, of Har court, N. B.; Peter R, Jr., of Beech wood, N. B.; and James, of Dodd City Kansas. The funeral services were held last Tuesday afternoon at the First Baptist church and were conducted by the Rev. J. L. Bogue, assisted by the Revs. Paul J.l<ux and J. F. Anderson. The burial took place in the Wiley cemetery and was in charge of the Masons, of which order deceased was a faithful member. One by one the old citizens are passing away, but leaves behind them a mem ory that will ever be cherished. The PRESS extends its sincere sympathy to the bereaved family. Relatives and friends from out of | town who attended the luneral were: j P. R. Beattie, Jr., Beechwood, N. 8., | Lillie Beattie, Hedley Beattieand wife, I Buffalo, N. Y.; Frederick Beattie and ! wife, Salamanca, N.

Friday, will be sad news to many of tu:r citizens, ha being for m:inv j years President of Philadelphia & Erie i Land Company, thereby coming into | close business r< lations with many of j our people. Wo had the pleasure of meeting the deceased, in company j with Judge Green, several years ago and was deeply impressed with the wauling ways of the eminent, jurist, especially his kindties to Emporium cli ent-!, h{ ing ever ready to extend every I courtesy.
