A Breach of Promise Case.
PROMINENT CITIZEN CHARGED WITH
TRIFLING WITH A YOUNG LADY'S
AFFECTIONS.
For some time, it is alleged one of
our prominent citizens has paid more
or lees attention to a young and beauti
ful girl of this town.
He now claims that he was not seri
ous in his intentions and that he was
not attached to her, but however that
may have been the young lady became
attached to him, and as he seems to
have lost interest in the matter she has
attached his property, which is a form
of attachment that he does not enjoy.
Tho result is, that .he finds himself
the defendant in a first-class Breach of
Promise Case and his questionable atti
tude towards the young lady will be
given an airing in the near future.
The parties in the case are so promi
nent that it is feared no court room
will hold the vast crowd desirous of at
tending the trial, so it will be held in
the Opera House, on Saturday even
ing, April 15th, under the auspices of
the Ladies' Aid Society of the First
Presbyterian Church, for whose benefit
the proceeds will be devoted.
In other words, it will be a Mock
Court Trial, and it promises to be one
of the most enjoyable affairs of many
years, as a large number of our iead
ing people will participate in the pro
ceedings.
The committee having the trial in
charge have engaged Col. A. V. New
ton, the well-known lawyer-lecturer of
Worcester, Mass., to attend to the de- j
tails and personally conduct the enter
tainment.
Col. Newton has had remarkable
success in conducting similar enter
tainments and without doubt the
Breach of Promise Trial will be here,
as elsewhere, an event long to be re
membered with pleasure.

liaise in Wages.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
surprised their employees, between
150,000 and 200,000 employed on their
lines east of Erie and Pittsburg, with
i raise of six per cent, in wages. The
rait-e effects all men who receive less
bhnn §3OO per month. The men at
many points appreciate this voluntary <
raise and celebrated the good news by
tho burning of led fire. In 1907 the
Pennsylvania railroad made a ten per
jent. increase, and, as an official staf
sd on Tuesday,"that the broad-minded ;
managers recognize the justice of the j
country wide agitation for higher
wages, based on the increased cost of
living.

lirst visit to Emporium She in a very J
pleasant lady.

terest in all matters of interest to the
farmers of the state.

KNIGHTS OF
COLUMBUS NIGHT.
Most Pleasing Event—Large At
tendance and Enjoyable
Occasion.
Emporium's Opera floune wascrowd•
ed to its utmost on Tuesday evening, i
March 29th, (ho occasion being: the
mueh-talked-of hull and reception of '
the Emporium Council, No. 990, l
Knights of Columbus. The people, 1
who were lucky enough to receive ill- '
vitations to the season's greatest event, j
looked forward with the keenest in- 1
terest for the good time in store for !
them and none were disappointed. ,
The hali never looked as pretty as at |
this time, the decorations being very
elaborate. The stage was adorned
with :i full seating of small trees, back j
of which the famous Germania Orches- '
tra of Lock Haven, was stationed. A !
large picture of Columbus occupied a i
conspicuous place in the centre of the j
stage. The walls and ceilings werej
draped with bunting and hundreds of ;
red, white and blue electric lights j
were festooned from each corner of the |
hail and through the centre, meeting ;
in a large circle in the middle of i
the room. The electric display was
the work of Messrs. B. J. Erakine,
Everett Pierson and Frank McCloskey.
The committee in charge of the decor- j
ations certainly deserve great credit j
and everybody in attendance at the I
ball were very entbusiatic in their
praise of the handiwork which chang-1
ed the cheerless hall into a place of
grandeur, will long be remembered.
The beautiful evening gowns worn by
the ladies and the many happy faces, j
radiant with smiles and good cheer, j
added greatly to the appearance. The |
Germania Orchestra rendered as usual, !
the music in their impressive manner
and one could not resist the tempta
tion to dance. The program was very
neat and contained a list of twenty
four dance. After the list of dances
: were half completed intermission was
called at which time delicoius refresh
ments were served on the stage, to
which the hungry dancers did ample
justice. Several new ideas in dances i
were carried out during the dance,
some of which were the moon waltz,fire
waltz, and spot waltz, in fact all the
dances were one continual round of
pleasure, which were greatly enjoy
ed by the large and happy assemblage,
who remained at the hall until the
"wee sma' hours," and even then were
reluctant to leave the hall, where they
had spent such a happy evening.
There was about 400 people present,
many guests from out of town being in
attendance, Renovo, Lock Haven, St.
Marys, Ridgway, Olean, and several
other places being represented. Mr.
i Thomas E. Law, acted as Master of
Ceremonies and it was through his un
tiring efforts and with the assistance
of his well chosen co-workers Messrs
Jas. Haley, Jas. Kearney and C. Har
old Seger, and the reception commit
tee, composed of Messrs. Herbert E.
Vogt, J. H Stephens, and Leo T.
Hayes that the K. of C.Bali and Recep
tion was the success that it waß. Em
porium Council, No. 990, can well be
proud of the success of the event of
Tuesday.evening, which will go down
in the annals of history of the Council
as the most elaborate Ball and Recep
tion ever given in Emporium.
—WEBSTER.
Will Play Ball.
Eckstein and Eshbach, all-around
base bail players, of this place, have
signed a contract to play with the De
pew,N.Y.,teamthis summer. They will
join the team at Niagara Falls, April
14th. Emporium has turned out a
number of good all-around ball players.
Lantern Jack.
We should be willing to receive your
items, if you take more care in writing
the same and give us your name as o
guarantee of good taith. If correspon
dents would exercise a little more care
in gettiug up their letters it would not
be so hard on the editor,read better and
prevent errors creeping into the type.
Care would result, in many cases, to
the mutual benefit of all.
Resumed Work.
C. B. Howard Company's mill shut
down two or three weeks ago on ac
count of the deep snow in the woods
preventing the hauling of logs, in fact
the snow was so deep they could not
find the logs, resumed work, day and
night on Monday. Of course all hands
are pleased.
Commendable Act.
B. J. Duell, of Mason Hill, visited
Emporium, as well as other parts of
the county, soliciting help for our old
friend, O. B. Tanne. - , who was recent
ly burned out of house and home. We
are glad he was well received and hope
Mr. Tanner may be enabled to rebuild
his home, thereby keeping his mother
less children together. "Bread cast
upon the waters."
Blinzler's Dependable Goods.
We handle goods that are cheap, but
not cheap goods, and the people; of
Emporium and vicinity are rapidly
getting the habit of coming to this
store. It is a habit that becomes more
fixed the oftener people buy here.
The broad reason is satisfaction. Peo
ple are satisfiad with the Blinzler mer
chandise. A call at this store will con
vince any one that the goods are right
and the prices are right.
Central League Organizing.
W. Earl Berry, formerly of Williams
port, new located in Renovo, was in
Williamsport Friday, Says the Sun,
talking over base ball affairs. Mr.
Berry is secretary of the Renovo Baso
Ball association and enthusiastic for
the organization of the Central Penn

Slate College, has been suggested for
president of the association.
