THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED RY C. B. GOUI.D, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 43 Early Morning Fire. On Monday morning, about four o'clock, our citizens were aroused from their slumbers by the shrill blasts of the gas,whistles, sounding the dread fire alarm. In a short space of time our very efficient fire department -three hose companies and one hook and ladder company—rushed to the scene of what proved to be a stubborn two hours' fire. The fire originated in a shed attached to the large Warner House barn, owned by W. G. Gilbert but leased to D. C. Hayes, an livery, The flames rapidly spreading to the seven tons of hay stored in the loft, made it evident to all that a serious and stubborn fire was on hand. Every fireman, the old reserve being out in full force, was energetic in his efforts to save property and confine the fire to the barn. With hard work all of Mr. Hayes horses were removed but it was almost impossible to keep the frightened 'animals from rushing back to certain death. In addition to Mr. Hayes' loss on hay, all of the winter cutters, sleds, ice plows, tools, etc., were destroyed, entailing a severe loss, at least SBOO. The fire was a hot one and the fireman were called upon to do heroic work in order to save the adjoining property, especially the har ness shop building, situated within a few feet of the fire. The opera house was on fire several times, as was also the P. & E., passenger station, the Warner House rear porch, the home of Mrs. John Farrell, Sr., and the dwell ing recently moved to the rear of John Cummiugs' Fourth street lot. Had there been any blowing wind no doubt all the adjoining properties would have been, demolished, but, as it was, many buildings caught fire from flying sparks, as far away as M. T. Hogan's residence, corner of Fourth and Maple street, but the fire was soon subdued. Possibly the hardest work was requir ed to save the opera heuse, which was on fire several times but hard work and watchfulness saved it. The P. & E., passenger station, close by, waa saved from destruction but badly scorched by keeping a steady stream of water playing on it. Our fire department, taken as a whole, are to be congratu lated upon its excellent work and again demonstrated the fact that they can hold in check the most stubborn fire, if given sufficient water pressure. While the water has been scarce we do not hear of lack of a water, even when three or more streams were attached. The admirable and efficient work of Chief Fireman, Mr. A. M. Haupt, upon this occasion is highly commented on by our citizens. Our Chief displays excellentiexecutive ability and was en abled by the use of the Mountaineer Hose Company's chemical cart to save the waste of water. Our citizens are justly proud of the Emporium Fire De partment, yet there are some who turn a deaf ear to their appeal for assistance in order to enable them to better battle with the flames. The recent purchase of the chemical cart by the Mountain eers at ia cost of about $450, and the boys, in order to still better equip themselves, will give their annual ball and reception, at the opera house, Wednesday evening, Nov. 24tb. They should be accorded a rousing attend ance, for the boys are sparing no ex pense or work to make this one of the most enjoyable occasions ever cele brated in Emporium. The popular Germania Orchestra of Lock Haven will furnish the music. Get your girls for the event. FIRE NOTES. Mr. Gilbert's loss on the barn is es. timated at $1,800; insured for SSOO. Mr. H. W. Smith's, loss on awnings, screens, tools, &c., is $200; no insur ance. Mr. D. C. Hayes resumed business at once having purchased Sheriff J. W. Norris' livery business, stock, etc., on Cherry street, including the real estate. We understand the consideration was about $3,100. Mr. F. D. Logan, who conducts the Broad street livery, pur chased a portion of the stock. The re duction of one livery will the better warrant them in improving the ser vice. All of the property owners who suf fered by the fire, are profuse in their thanks to the firemen. Well may they be.

Under the Con stitution as amended, election boards will be elected in the odd years and ap pointed in the even years. defeat of the seventh amendment lea\ - the term of election officers one year, \,._'le adoption of the other amendments pro vides for their election only every two years, consequently appointments must be made every other year, thus producing the very condition the vot ers supposed they were going to pre vent. In case the schedule is defeated a special session of the Legislature will possibly be necessary, thereby incur ring a large expense. Those yellow journals, and very generally the Demo cratic press, evidently did not know what they were bowling about. Pushing the Work.

Holmes' Novel Bright lines and wit, pathos and dra matic intensity. Everybody wants to see "LENA" Special scenery, Rich Dressing, Ori. ginal Cast. Prices 25c, 35c, 50c and 75c. Triennial Assessments. The county assessors have com menced their work for the triennial as sessments for 1910. It is the intention and instructions of the county commis sioners to follow the letter of the law in this particular matter; that is all property will be assessed at actual value, or what it would Bell at forced sale. We believe it to be the correct way if honestly adjusted and equalized. "Lena Rivers." The presentation of "Lena Rivers" which is to be made at the Emporium Opera House on Thursday evening, Nov. 18, should prove highly diverting. It would seem as if every one had read Mrs. Mary J. Holmes' book, and it would also seem as if every one who has done so, wants to see the play dramatized from it. "Lena Rivers." When Nixon & Co., decided to pot out a production of "Lena Rivers," dramatized from Mrs. Mary J. Holmes' novel, they immediately engaged Miss Buelah Poynter, to make the book in to play lorm. Miss Poynter made a careful study of the book and then de cided to visit the Bcenes of the book, as the Btory is a true one in a great many respects. This play will be pre sented at the Emporium Opera House, Thursday evening, Nov. 18th. Tremendous Sale* The full page advertisement in the PRESS announcing the eleventh annual clearance sale of Jasper Harris, the en ergetic and well-knowu Fourth street Clothier and Furnisher, will be read with interest by our readers.

The attractions at the Theatorium are certainly fine. The double show last evening was certainly a dandy, especially "The Queen of J the Lions," which would bear repeating. These clean and popular attractions certain- I ly deserve a large house nightly—in fact they are generally crowded night ly.
