Thoughtless Trespassing.
I wonder how those young ladies,
those aspiring young men and those
* business men from Emporium, who
entered on my property on Whitto
more Hill last Sunday, gathered my
chestnuts, beat the trees with clubs
and stones, and with large rocks
thumped the trunks of the trees, thus
loosening the bark and permanently
injuring the trees, would enjoy being
arrested for trespass and petty lar
ceny, and thus be branded as law
breakers, thieves and criminals? There
is at hand abundant evidence sind wit
nesses to convict. It is just as much
theft in this case as for a person to en
ter any other place of business and
help himself to what he might happen
to want.
Unless such things cease at once
somebody is liable to get into serious
trouble, regardless of whom he or she
may be.

manuel Library, Mrs. S. E. Felt, who

three years, having resigned her posi

DEATH'S DOINGS.
C3L2SS
LARRABEE.
Last Saturday evening, about 8:15
o'clock, our citizens were pained
to hear of the sudden death of Mrs.
Qeorgianna M. Larrabee, wife of our
old and highly respected citizen, Mr.
M. M. Larrabee, at the family residence
East Fourth street, after an illness of
several months. While the sad r.ews
was painful to theexcellent lady's many
friends yet her death was not a sur
prise to those familiar with the circum
stances.
Mrs. Larrabee, daughter of Capt. B.
S., and Mary A. Mayo, both deceased,
was born in Hampden, Maine, in July,
1847, therefore being aged years and
three months. She came to Cameron
county iu 1868, her father being engag
ed in lumbering operations at Cam
eron, with his brothers. Later she
taught school in Emporium for two
years when she met and married M. M.
Larrabee, Sept. 20th, 1871. She leaves
to mourn her death, her hus
band ana three children: Marian E.,
Don M., and Ciifton S. Larrabee, also
one brother, Mr. E. B. Mayo, of Min
neapolis, Minn.
About six years ago Mrs. Larrabee
was afflicted with diabetes and that
dread malady brought about a greatly
weakened condition, although she was
able to be about her home aud was al
ways in good spirits. She had a
warm, genial disposition, which great
ly helped her to bear her affliction
bravely and cheerfully. During the
weok preceeding her death she had en
joyed a happy visit with her entire
family, gathered at her home and i;he
ate dinner with them all, the
evening of her death. Shortly after
seven o'clock, Saturday evening, she
went up stairs to put her little grand
son to sleep aud after doing that re
turned to the room below, complaining
of feeling weak. She laid down for a
little while and then started back up
' stairs to retire. When she reached the
| top of tho stair case she was seen by
; her son Don to bo struggling as if she
was unable togo further and he quick
ly assisted her to her room and medical
assistance was summoned. It was
without avail and within fifteen min
utes she passed away, surrounded by
her husband and children.
We have known and highly respect
ed the deceased ever since she came to
Emporium, Her excellent qualities
were of the highest order. Aside from
the attention to her household duties
and cares, she always found time to de
vote to the development of her artistic
tastes, both in painting and music, in
which branches she possessed marked
talent and skill. Mrs. Lirrabee was a
scholarly and well read lady and her
home contained much of the best liter
ature and was a source of true culture
aud refinement. Many able and pleas
ing articles have appeared in the Press
from her pen and upon numerous occa
sions she hasspoken upon livequestions
before the public. She knew what to
say, when to say it and when to stop.
One of the organizations to which
she gave much of her attention and ef
fort was the Womens Relief Corps.
Above all, Mrs. Larrabee was in the
fullest sense, a christian in all that the
name implies. She became a member
of the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Hampden, Maine, when a girl and dur
ing her active and useful life, was a
true, consistent christian woman. As
one who knew her well has suit!, "Mrs.
Larrabee lived her Christianity every
day iu her many acts of kindness and
tboughtfulness of others anil her life
bus been a blessing to ttiecominuulty ."
Many are the stricken homes that have
been aided and comforted by her and
her broad aud generoua sympathy
went out to the afflicted at all times.
To thtsie of her home-circle, huaband,
children and grant! children, who were
the constant objects of Iter geutle mini
strations and love, her stiddeu taking
away has twiuie aa a terrible blow, till.
Ing their heart* with the deepest sor
row, but the memory of her !>eautlful
life and character will ever remain for
them a sacred heritage Her life waa
such as to leave a lasting impression
for k<mml upon all who knew her, and
we all feel that she waa one of tboee tur
whom It was promised, ages ago, by
the prophet, that
"At Hut* II sfeail be Ugh! "

Serious Accident.
Runaway Train Ditched to Save
Collision.
This morning (Thursday) about nine
o'clock, a freight train composed of
about twenty carp, loaded with sacked
flour,was in some unaccountable man
ner lost control of by tho engineer,
coming down the steep grade into
Siverville. At this point the railroad
company n.re putting in double tracks
but there is a "d" rail in this location
to be used in case of runaway trains
and is always left open. The Buffalo
Express train, No. 59, which leaves
Emporium Junction at 8:45 a. m., was
just about due at Sizerville and in or
der to save a head-on collision the
operator was compelled to leave the
"d" rail switch open and thereby
ditch <he runaway freight train. The
engineer and two firemen, who were
on the engine, were very serioudly in
jured and their injuries may prove fa
tal. Train No. 59 was flagged and or
dered back to Emporium Junction and
was taken over the P. & E. division to
Johnsonburg, thence by way of Sineth
port and Lnrrabpe to the Buffalo Divi
sion. The freight cars piled up
and flour is scattered in all directions.
While being a very serious wreck, yet
it may be considered lucky that no one
was killer! and that the Express train
was a little late and thereby saved a
head-on collision.

Statistics show that of all the houses built
over one-half are partially or totally destroyed
by fire. Taking this large percentage into con
sideration, you easily see how very unsafe it
is to keep cash or valuable papers concealed in

the risk of losing your money by lirs when it
