THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS:" E STABUSHKD BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 44 The Favorite Resort. The Emporium Theatorium, so suc cessfully conducted by W. G. Bair and Robt. Green continues to grow in favor with the public, who know the watch fulness of the proprietors will prevent the production of anything objection able, thereby making the place per fectly safe for ladies or children.

They have eliminated the vaudeville attractions and increased the pictures, a change we believe more to the liking of their patrons Miss Zetta Wells, daughter of Mrs. E. T.

Now is the time our great country should take steps to prevent such a thing from happening It is a known fact that some day Japan will attempt to dictate iu regard to the affairs of this country. The author of " A Mes sage From the Skies," which is to be placed in Dramatic form, has placed a timely warning before the American people by drawing a little on the Ima gination and showing what would hap pen if the Yellow race ever succeeded in landing on our shores Of course the story is fiction, but never the less the tact remains, that it is not at ail improbable. This great play which will lie pre sented at the Opera House, for one night, Oct. 20th, has created a tensa- | tion wherever it has been played.

By his I own confession the thefts stretche d I over a period of several months, and j were for the purpose of affording his | bride-to-be a good time, for with a por ! tion of the money taken he bought j household goods for their nesv home, j This they occupied just one week, I when the bauble broke and the young wife saw her boy husband led away a prisoner by Constable Baker, while ! she went back to her parents' home to | ; prepare to have her marriage with the young man annulled. For a year there had been no morn devoted lover in Austin than was George Resser to Miss Mary A. Moyer. Reeser is good-looking, dressed nicely and appeared to have all the money necessary to live without working a great deal. He explained that he had just come into a snug sum of money through the death of an uncle. Nothing was too good for his pretty sweetheart, one of the most popular girls in Austin, and the daughter of highly-respected people. She had car riage and autompbile rides and attend ed all the picnics and festivals. For a year or more young Resser had made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Sam nel Clary, an aged couple of Austin, who found their livelihood in a truck patch, near their home, added to a small pensian which Mr. Clary receives, he being a veteran of the civil war. The Clarys were saving of their little fund, and though they had saved near ly S4OO, they would not trust it in a bank, but kept it in a box in a trunk. From there all but §'2o was stolen, and Resser has confessed the ingratis crime. Teachers' Institute. On Monday Oct. 24, will convene the Forty-fourth Annual Cameron County Teachers' Institute. Without a doubt this Institute will be the best ever held in the county for no expense or pains have been spared to make it so. Every session will be teeming with vital interest, not alone for the teach ers, but for every one that may be pre sent Of the instructors, Prof. Francis Green, of West Chester, needs no in troduction as he has l>een with us sev eral previous years, and his return is stronger proof of his efficiency and power as an instructor. The return of Dr. J. George Becht of Clarion will be most heartily apprecia ted by those who know his worth as an instructor. Dr Becht's success as an educator not only in the East but in the West as well, Htamps him as being one of the strongest men in his line to-day. Prof. (.'has. A. Dodson of Kutztown, is again to have charge of the music, a fact that meanx, as in former years, a decided success in that department. The new instructors, I>r.

HIS WORD ACCEPTED "I want to say, to the people that I | never swindled anybody in my life, j There is not a man, women or child in ' these United States who dares say that i I ever sold them a share of get-rich quick company stock." ! John K. Tener, the Republican eon didate for governor, made the state ment quoted above. It was received with laud applause. The manner of his saying it carried the conviction that he was uttering the truth. The quotation is from the preface to his reading of the statement in which he emphatically denies the charges made against his business record. He has employed able lawyers in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to look after his in terests. His traducers are to hear more from him. Before reading the statement Mr Tener said: TARGET FOR VILLIFICATION. "I want to make a special statement. I It seems that every candidate as soon ) as he is nominated becomes a target | for criticism and vilification. "I am said to be unfit for the office, i and should not have political prefer ment because I happen to have been a baseball player. lam glad and proud of the fact that I did play baseball and I want to say that I would rather have been a baseball player and have that my only claim to fame than togo about in sheep's clothing speaking ill of my fellow men I want to ask the young men and the fathers of those young men if they for a monent think any good, honest, outdoor sport should bar them from any advancement in life. "I am also accused of belonging to a certain fraternal organization. I am i pround that I am a member of that or ganization. and I doubt whether there is one man in this audience who does not belong to some good, charittable and benevolent fraternity. I want to acknowledge my membership in that organization and to say that I am prouder of it than I ever was before. STRENUOUS DENIAL OF CHARGES. "You have also read recently of the charge which connects me with an al leged swindling concern. I want to say to you that i never swindled any body in my life. There is not a man, woman or child in the United States who dares say that I ever sold them a a sharo of a get-rich-quick company stock I want to make answer to the charge and I want to make it empha tic, and in order that I make no mis take I am going to read the statement which I dictated yesterday." Alter reading the statement, Mr. Tener concluded: "I was regurlarly nominated by the accredited representatives of the peo ple and I do not propose to withdraw from this ticket for any man or any set ot men."

Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, | while walking on the tracks, on his way home, to Sterling Run from Cam eron, where he had been visiting some triends during the evening, Mr. Jessie | Parker was struck by a train just a few | rods east of the Ritchey bridge, about | one and one-half miles east of Cameron, • which resulted in the loss of his right ' arm, just a few inches below the shoul j der, his right ear nearly torn off, sev eral severe scalp wounds and a very deep gash on his chin. He was found in an unconscious condition about twelve-thirty Sunday morning by a man who was walking the track on his way to Emporium. Section Foreman John May was promptly notified as soon as possible, ■ and the injured man was taken to his home, when Doctors Bush and Smith, of Emporium, were called and gave him the necessary medical aid. After | a consultation it was decided to take ' the injured man to the Ridgway Hos j pital, which was done on the Erie mail j west, due at five o'clock. | He is reported getting along as well j as can be expected, as he is very weak, | having nearly bled to death before he i was found, but it is understood he will I live. Very Pleasant Occasion. | A number of visitors attended Drift j wood Masonic liodge last Friday even ; ing and were well paid for their time, j The Driftwood boys are always strict ily up-to-date in all their doings. Im mediately after the business had been transacted light refreshments were served, (under the direction of Tyler j Ueorge Towers) by the following pleae | ant young ladies: Misses Flora and Laura McDonald, daughters of Hon. John McDonald, Martha Osborn, Mar ion Towers and Jennie Gleason, daughter of Mr. L. W. Gleason. The pretty young ladies, clad in lamb skin aprons, quietly entered the room and served the small eaters in a very credit able manner. It is a rule of Driftwood Lodge to allow only daughters of Master Masons this privelege. It was i certainly unique and a beautiful sight. Eastern Star. A lodge of Eastern Star will be insti tuted in Emporium to-morrow after noon and evening, at Masonic Hall. This new lodge is composed of Master Masons, their wives, daughters and sisters. A. very large number will be entered. Twenty five or thirty Stars from Dußois and other places will be present. The ladies will serve a Ban quet during the evening. Mrs. M. A. Rockwell has been silently but dili gently at work for some time j»erfect ing the plans. We are glad to note this new departure in Cameron county and believe it will meet with approba tion. Social Club. There is a paper being circulated among the young men of Emporium to organize a club that will be known as the Emporium Social Club. The ob ject of this club is to put on dances every two weeks, to be strictly pri vate. A club of this kind has been greatly needed in Emporium and sev eral names have already been added to the paper. A short business meet ing will be held at the store ot the Em porium Drug Company on Friday evening, at nine o'clock, for the election of officers and such other busi ness that may be presented. It is hop ed that the club will prove a success. Will Hetlre Dec. Ist. Hon. John McDonald, of Driftwood, Supervisor of the middle divisiau of P. E. R.

Changed Location. Mr. A. DeArmit, formerly a resident of this county but lately in the hotel business at Covington, Va., has moved to Hemlock, Md., and purchased the Glen Oak Hotel. The Crawford, Md., Record, in its Hemlock Perns we note: "Mr. A. DeArmit, the new proprie tor of the Glen Oak Hotel, has taken ciarge and everything gives promise that he will conduct a first-class hotel' The Glen Oak Hotel has been very much improved during the past week, by the installation of electric lights in the office and the dining room. The whole house is now lighted by electri city." Mr. DeArmit is a hustler, and will no doubt give the residents of Hem lock first-class satisfaction. Gettysburg to Have Great Cele bration. One of the greatest patriotic demon strations ever held in the United States will take place in 1913 on the battle field of Gettysburg, if the plans dis cussed at a preliminary meeting of the arrangements are carried out. The demonstration will be in observance o» the flitit'ih aniiiversa. j ol U.u great battle between the Union army under Gen. Meade and the Confederate forc es under Gen. Lee. That the celebra tion of the semi-centennial will be truly national in its scope is already arnured by the acceptance by nearly all the States of the invitation to parti cipate. Two of the Southern States, Georgia and North Carolina, were the first to respond to the invitation. It is expected that the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans will have the leading parts io arranging for the celebration and that virtually all the otber patriotic organizations of the country will par ticipate.
