THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL, 44 Buffalo Business Men Here—Hustl ers After Trade. The Buffalo Trade Excursion iu an elegantly equipped special train, ar rived in Emporium last Friday morn ing at 10:30 on time. Located on north track, at Broad ; ; --"et Station, where they were handy to the business houses of Emporium, they soon get busy, for they were hustlers. A laige number of business men met the train upon it>» arrival and extended every courtesy possible, under the circumstances. A number of automobiles were placed at their disposal, that they might visit any part of our town. Their limited stay here of course made it impossible for Emporium business men to "do the grand," yet Mr. R. Kuehne, who form erly was engaged in business in Buf falo, for many years, and gave bis mei chant friends advance information for their guidance, met tho train with other citizens and introduced his friends. Other local business men vied, one with the other, in ex oiling the good points of Emporium. The more than one hundred representa tives, mostly heads of the firms were favorably impressed with Emporium and it did not take them long to size up the importance of the capitol city of Cameron county, especially, as wc heard one gentleman remark when he noted The First National Bank of Em porium had almost One Million Assetts. "That speaks well for your town," he replied, when wo called his attention to the fact. Many of our citizens visited the handsome cars and were surprised to see how grandly they were situated— the best of everything. In addition to their commodious dining cars and sleepers, they had an observation car fitted with a grand piauo and expert entertainer, which many enjoyed. The ten cars were of the best Pullman style, fitted with electric lights and telephone system. The New York. Telephone Company had installed a switchboard on the train, thereby per mitting any member to call a friend in any car. As soon as the train stopped construction men almost instantly con nected the lines to the central, afford ing th m priviledge of talking with Buffalo offices or residences; or any loDg distance city in the United States or Canada. This service was presented to the members of the excursion with the compliments of the Bell System. Careful and elaborate preparations were made in the office of tho Empori um Telephone Co, to carry out the unique feature of furnishing long dis tance service from the train. As soon as the train came to a stand-still at Broad street, Geo. Metzger, Jr., the local manager, who had all ready to Connect tho wires, in less than three minutes plugged several connections with Buffalo and other points. From the train telephone messages for Buffalo and other points on the schedule were sent in abundance. Calls were also received from out-of town points, thus showing that the of fices and families of the men were in constant communication with the members. The Company farnishad the switchboard operator and the ser vice without charge to the Association. Representatives of the Traffic, Plant and Commercial Departments of the Company accompanied the Excursion to insure prompt installation and quick service. While the train was running between stations conversation was carried on from one car to another and about everyone took advantage of the op portunity to use the telephone under such unusual conditions. It is wonderful to understand that a business correspondent of any of these merchants who might be anxious to reach him could locate the stopping places on the schedule, and no matter if he were in Albany, New York, Bos ton, Philadelphia, Chicago, in fact any of the large cities, he could talk and get his answer from this train. The enterprise of the Bell System was appreciated thoroughly by every one on the great excursion. The special left for Buffalo, well pleased with their short visit in Em porium, many expressing a Cre're to to come back when "your beautiful scenery is at its best." Emporium's latch string is always on the outeide. A Pleasant Surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. K. Mickey, who have been transacting business at New York for two weeks will return home in the near future, accompanied by Robt. Jr., much to the surprise of their friends. Of course Mr. and Mrs. M., are happy and are to be congratulated.

About mid night he went into Hayes' livery stable, where a large number of lumbermen had congregated, preparing to leave for "Fiddlers Greeu" lumbering camp, and complained of being cold.
