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.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
LOCK WOOD.
Miss HAZEL B. LOCK WOOD, aged 21 I
years, seven months and thirteen days i
died at the residence of Mr.* and Mrs. |
H. J. Newton, near the Borough line— !
Mrs. Newton being her grand-mother, j
afcer an illness of less than a week,
with typhoid fever. Deceased WHS a
very lovable young lady, the daughter
of Randolph and Lillian Lockwood of
Rich Valley; had been complaining for
some time of not feeling well, yet she
refused to give up her position at the >
Novelty Incandescent Lamp works at
this place, where she had been a trust
ed and faithful employee for over two
years, until Nov. Ist, when she was
compelled to give up her work. She
started for home, but feeling so badly
stopped at her grand-mother's and
medical attendance called. Growing
worse she was confined to ber bed and
she passed away last Sunday morning,
surrounded by her almost distracted
parents, brothers and sisters and other
relatives and dear friends. Her re
mains were conveyed to her fond par
ents and comfortable home in Rich
Valley by funeral Director C. W. Rish
ell.
The death of this excellent young
lady waa a great shock to her many
friends here, especielly the employees
of the Lamp Factory, with whom she
had so long been daily associated,
greatly respected and loved by all.
Miss Lockwood was a member of the
M. E. Sunday school and was always '
faithful in her attendance.
The funeral was held from the Rich
Valley church hist Tuesday afternoon,
at two o'clock, and was one of the
largest ever held in the Valley. The
great grief manifested by the friends
of the deceased and the many beauti
ful testimonials of regard from friends
spoke louder than words. Rev. J. F.
Anderson, pastor of Emporium M. E.
church conducted the services in a
feeling manner, assisted by Rev. Os
good of the Valley church. A quartet
from Emporium furnished the singing.
A special train on the Emporium &
Rich Valley R. R., at one o'clock con
veyed about forty-five of the employees
of the Novelty Incandescent Lamp
works to the funeral. A heautifnl
floral piece was presented to the fam
ily of the dead by the employees of the
factory.
The PRESS joins with the afflicted
family's many friends here in extend
ing our deepest sympathy.

the Arch-deacon's office in addition to
his ordinary parish work. Arch-deacon

The Amendments Carry.
All of the amendments to the Con
stitution voted at the election have
been adopted, except the seventh and
possibly the schedule. 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.
The grading on the new coal road at
fe> erling Run is being poshed by the
COL 'actors, Messrs. Martino & Bevac
que, of Bradford. It is anticipated the
road will be completed, a distance of
2i miles, by Jan. Ist, 1910 This will
give the Furnace Company a large area
of excellent coal for coxing purposes,
at Canoe Run. The season of 1910
promises to be one of the best in the
iron business.

Lena Rivers
BY
Buelah Poynter
From the Mary J. 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*
