Hospital Necessary
at Emporium.
I The fact becomes more potent every
I 'Jay that a general hospital is of the ut-
I most necessity at Emporium and our
citizens should take tho necessary steps
to that end at once and a suitable
building secured for th-it purpose.
Many hundreds, if not thousands, of
dollars are annually expended by the
afflicted of this county. Not a week
1 passes but we notice some of onr un
' fortunates being obliged togo to for
eign hospitals and in a majority of
cases the misfortune falls upon those
least able to stand the expense, whilst
at a home institution a less expense
could be met without hardship.
Tha larg9 number of hospital cases
I our several physicians are compelled
j to take to cities and neighboring hos
pitals could be cared for at home just
! as well, thereby greatly assisting our
j physicians, who no doubt would heart
! ily assist such an institution. We fetl
j deeply for the loved ones whoarecoi •-
I pelled to leave the care of dear ones
! and often suffer untold agonies before
j they are placed in a hospit i, where
i they have every convenieuce.
i
Tiie PRESS will gladly lend every ef
j fort to have such an institution estab
, lished here and shall give cur mite and
time to that end. We should greatly
th ink our readers for an expression of
1 their opinion upon this subject and we
daubt not that more than one kind
heirted lady or gentleman would con
j tribute of their means and hands for
I suffering humanity.
| What say you, friendb?
More Evident Daily.
The continued unrest between capital
j and labor appears to be on the increase
! and it is very evident, for the general
j welfare of all interests, that a State
| Court of Arbitration be established by
I law and the decision of this tribunal to
' be final. Should this condition of af
! fairs continue in this country—broken
! contracts by botli'con tractors and tho
j laborer, strikes, riot, bloodshead and
I stubbornness—how long wilt this Re
-1 public'stand? We hope some day to
j see a just law placed upon our statue
1 b.>oks, one free of all corporate influ
| ence or alied labor leagues, one that
i will guarantee equal justice to all, and
i impose a heavy penalty upon any firm,
i corporation, or individual who may
| violate a written contract.
| The disgraceful performances in
j Philadelphia, likely to extend to all
I sections, may cause a completejdemorl
| izatiou of businees and the losn of mil
j lions in money to the families of the
I laborer as well as corporations and
j manufacturers. Rioters never stop to
j think, or care, that every dollar's
j worth of property destroyed they have
! to pay their share in taxes to the coun
| ty in which the depredation iscommit
i ted—providing they aro citizens.

New Process of
Making Dynamite
is Valuable One
George Van Vert, Superintendent
at Burton Powder Works, Has
MadeTmporant Discovery.
Frozen Dynamite can be Exploded
George Van Wert, of 63 North Bea
ver street, superintendent of the Bur
ton Powder works at Covert's station,
has just perfected a process by which
frozen dynamite can be exploded with
out the dangerous method of thawing
it.
The process will not only revolution
ize the manufacture of this explosive,
but will be the means cf saving scores
of lives that have been sacrificed each
year to the deadly practice of of thaw
ing that is necessary when the explo
sive freezes.
The invention, while it is yet kept a
secret, is such that its disposal to the
various dynamite companies should
make Mr. Van Wert a rich man.
Dynamite, like liquids, will freeze
and before it can be used, it is neces
sary to put it in an oven or on a stove
and thaw it out. The toll collected by
death from explosions in doing this has
| been tremendous. Ever since dyna
rgite has been manufactured, experts
in this line, have been trying without
success, to manufacture dynamite
which might be exploded without dan
ger. The attempts have all failed and
the news of Mr. VanWert's success
will be important.
By bis process dynamite in any state
can be exploded As noon as the idea
is patented the s> crtt will be announ
ced.
Until a certain temperature is regis
tered, dynamite is not dangeroi s, but
once the heat overreaches a certain
mark, it explodes. The danger of
thawing the explosive has always been
gre.it, but the deaths that have been
caused have resulted mostly from in
experienced foreigner* doing the wo k.
Mr. VanWert has worked on the pro
cess for many years and it was only
last week that be succeeded in explod
ing a mass of the frozen stuff. The
teat was successfully made near the
Burton plant.—New Castle Press.
ClarenceQuinn, an Emporium boy,
who is employed by the Burton Pow
der Co., sends us the above article,
through our friend, Mr. E. T. Welle.
Geo. W. VanWert, being a former Em
porium resident and has many friends
here, we all are pleased to hear of any
thing advancing his interests. "Onr
Geo." is deserving of anything good
that may come his way.
