At the annual meeting of the Incan
descent Lamp Co., held here last week,
a large portion of the stock passed in
to the hands of the General Motors
Company, one of the largest and
wealthiest manufacturing organiza
tions in the United States, having lamp
factories at several different points of
the country. They are also manufac
turrrs of the Buick, Oldsmobile and
five other autos, having extensive
plants. The new company represents
a capital of $90,000,000. It is anticipat
ed that within the near future the
plant at Emporium will be very mater
ially enlarged, possibly double its pres
ent capacity. The Incandescent is
now one of our busy industries, giv
ing employment to from seventy-five
to one hundred, all earning good
money.
The new officers elected are: Presi
dent, Robt. K. Mickey, Emporium;
Vice President, N. Hoffheimer, New

William F. Lloyd Dead.
Just as w« goto press, a telegram
from Ilanisburg to Mr. T. B. Lloyd,
Cashier of First National Rank, from
John A. Johnston, his brother-in-law,
conveyed the sad intelligence of tho
death of his father. The funeral will
possible be held at Wrightsville, Pa.,
on Saturday, where his wife, who died
in 1871, is hurried. Five children, T.
15., and H. S., of Emporium; Mrs.
Mabel Johnston, Harrisburg; Will and
Alice in the west. He was aged 74.

his death. The Pkesb deeply and sin
cerely sympathizes with the family.
New Borough Clerk.
Owing to continued ill-health, R. C.
Moore, who has faithfully filled the
position of Borough clerk very accept
ably for several years, resigned last
Monday evening. The Councilmen
elated Mr. Chas. 11 Crandell, Teller
of First National Bank, to fill the vac

and we believe will make a popular
official.

Class of Emmanuel Episcopal Sunday
School held its regular monthy social.

All present had a fine time.
Another Arrest.
Chief Mundy captured a Port Alle
gany chap named Coughlin, charged
with stealing a watch. There is quite
a joke connected with this case. It
seems Coughlin complained to White of
not having anything to do and wanted
to get a place with nothing to dp
While replied "steal something and go
to jail," at the same time Coughlin had
his watch in his pocket.
Argument Court.
President Judge Harry A Ivan Hall
and Associate Judge Geo. J. Laßar

Building Falls on Woman
Fatally injuring Her,
Last Sunday morning, while assist
ing her husband, Allen Russell, who
resides on Four Mile, to move an out
building, which he had placed on a
stone boat, the building falling on her,
fatally injuring, her back. Dr. H. S.
Falk was called and reported the
lady's back broken. The sad circum
stances surrounding the family is deep
ly deplored, seven children being afflic
ted. The husband, Allen Russell, who
works in the woods most of the time,
is certainly to be sympathized with.
The injured lady was moved to the
residence of Mrs. Allen, Sr., on the
Portage, near Emporium, on Tuesday
that she might be nearer to the attend
ing physician, or sent to a hospital.
We deeply feel for the afflicted fam
ily.
