THE CAMERON COUNTY PMSSS. ESTABLISHED BV C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. V0L.44 Special Letter. WASHINGTON, JAN. 16. The cordial expressions of regard for .lolui K. Tener from his colleagues on both sides of the House upon his retirement from membership in that body must have been extremely gratifying to the new governor. Mr. Toner's resigna tion went into effect on Monday. On the day of his inauguration many of his friends in the housa wired him con gratulatory messages in which they predicted that his administration would be such as to receive the com mendation of the people. Some of his Msocifi'-j > al tj sane fl jral pieces to the executive mansion. Mr. Teller's rec ord in Congress has been that of an able, painstaking and public spirited official, who has rendered exceptional service for the constituency which sent him to Washington. Members of the Pennsylvania dele gation in Congress have referred to the fact that in the gratifi cation of the Re publicans of Pennsylvania over Mr. Tener's inauguration the campaign of slander last fail was forgotten. The echoes of the abuse and misrepresenta tion of the discredited political coali atiou which directed that disgraceful campaign died away with the an nouncement of another Republi can victory in the Keystone State. Since then the methods em ployed to defeat the Republican candi date Lave been recalled at intervals only by the confessions of some of his enemies that they had lied about him. Pennsylvania politicians in Wash ington state that thousands of honest Republicans who were misled by mis representation and voted against the Republican ticket in November are now willing to withhold judgement in Governor Tener's case and give him an opportunity to fulfill the pledge he made last fall. It is highly probable that many of these Republicans have reflected upon what would have been the consequences if the campaign of slander had been successful. If so they realize that at Ilarrisburg on Tuesday the shouting would have come from exultant hosts of the Democracy, Governor Stuart would have retired for a Democrat, eager to exert the power of his administration for the ad vancement of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania and the nation. And a Democratic legislature would have dis placed Senator George T. Oliver with a Democrat, who would join other Democrats in the United States Senate in the enactment of destructive tariff legislation. Considering the Demo cratic landslide in November and the -menace of Democratic tariff revision in the next, Congress the inauguration of Governor Tener is peculiarly fortu nate from the viewpoint of Pennsyl vania. French Protection. Tne revised French Tariff is a pro tective measure fundamentally and purposely, and it will he kept within Protective lines at all hazards. It is the same policy as in Germany and in every other country except England and even there the Tariff is as Protect ive as England can fairly make it, in view of her fi iliar -ondltlon of hav i 14 to buy thn -queer of Inr food supplies trom wit , >ut her own border- W 'ile her »• lief industries are manu facturing and marine carriage.

On Saturday last, Emporium went to Weedville and played that fast team to a standstill. At the end of the sec ond period the tscore was a tie and Weedville refused to play for tho ex tra points necessary to decide the game, the Emporium team was entitl ed a victory by default, but on- boys put up no kick as they did not want to win 011 a technicality This was the first game Weedville did not win this year and they say they will have re veuge 011 return game which will be played in Emporium on Feh 4th. The Score: 18-18. Pierotti Forward Myera. Extine, Forward Campbell. Vogt, Centre Eraser. Farrell, Guard Carhart Blumle, Guard Brown. Goals from field, Extine 4, Pierotti 4, Farrell 1, Meyers 1, Campbell 4, Fraser 1, Brown 1. Goals from fjuls, Campbell 4. On Saturday Jan. 21st., Emporium will play the strong team from Ridg way, and although Ridgway beat our boys a few weeks ago, it does not seetn possible that they can repeat the perfor mance, since our team is greatly strengthened and the team work has improved wonderfully. Pierotti, the star player from Kane is now a resi dent of this town and will be seen in all games in future. HIGH SCHOOL TRIP. The following members of the High School Athletic Association went to Brookville and Clarion last Friday afternoon. Messrs. R. H. Edgar, Eugene Metz, Gordan Vogt, Roy Swan son, William Howard, Jr., and Oscar Foster. During the trip two very interesting games of basket ball were played. Mr. Gordan Vogt was captain of the team. At Brookville, where the first stop was made the game resulted in a victory for Brook ville, with a score of 61 to 27. Brook ville has the fastest team in that sec tion of the State and have only met with one defeat this present season. They played a very clean game and showed the boys a good time. On Saturday morning the journey was continued to uiariiAi, arriving there at ten o'clock. During the day they in spected the town and the Normal and in the evening attended the Li terary Society and heard a very in teresting lecture on Nature study. The game with Clarion Normal was called about nine o'clock Saturday evening and the first half finished with a score of 8 to 7 in favor of Empor ium, at the end of the second half the score stood 18 to 13 in favor of Clarion. Although the boys lost both games they fought hard to win them and the teams they visited were stronger than they are. They expect to have return games with both these teams in the near future. The Emporium boys left Clarion on Sunday morning, driving a distance of lb miles through the mud to Brookville where they took the train for home at 1:05 p. m. arriving here on the afternoon flyer via Driftwood.

Court Holds Commissioners Lia ble for Own Expenses While Traveling. Should the higher courts sustain ; Judge Fanning, of Bradford county, in an opinion handed down in Tonawan da, that no county is liable for the per sonal expenses of county commis sioners in discharge of their public duties, it will make a sweeping change ! in customs which have prevailed in j nearly every county of the State for I years. The decision, while involving only ' the small amount of §1.75, affects the I entire state. It means, in brief, that, if upheld, when county commissioners | are away from home on official bnsi | tiess hereafter, they will be personally ; liable for individual expenses. In other words, on county business, the J county is liable for mileage and noth i ing else, and that food and beds are ' for the commissioners to pay out of their own pockets. In common with other counties, ! Rradford is divided into three poor districts, and each commissioner looks after the indigents in his subterritory. A woman residing in Commissioner 1 Marsh's division was declared insane, i and it was incumbent upon him to re | move her to an asylum, which he did, j rendering a bill of $1 75 for meals on the trip. The bill was attested by the commissioners' clerk, and drawn on the county treasurer, who refused to honor the order on the ground that the law did not contemplate paying the commissioners' individual expenses, The case hinges on the construction of the words "traveling expenses ne cessarily incurred in the discharge of their official duties," which Judge Fan. ning holds does not iuclude eats. Hereafter, Bradford commissions can not eat out the county treasury, and must carry full dinner pails en route on county business or take their lunch in a rag. Whist Party. On Tuesday afternon, Mrs. Grant S. Allen entertaindd a party of lady friends al lieu pleasant home on West Fourth street, from three to seven o'clock. Whist was played in which Miss Mora McQuay captured first prize and Miss Maude Steck received second prize. A delicious supper was served at six o'clock. Those present were the Mesdames I. K..

Ye editor very recently visited New | ton Wiley cemetery and while a I blanket of snow covered the ground, we noticed very many beautiful tokens j of affection deposited upon the resting ' places of dear ones Beautiful, impos j ing mausoleums, monuments and head i Btones dotted all portions ol the "Silent I City" and while we drove through j the avenues we could not but j think of the very many departed . friends wiio rested with the dead, ! where we all soon would be number ed. Would doubt if more beautiful monuments can be seen in any ceme tery than one notices there. The lat est to be erected is a handsome Barre, | Vt., granite monument recently placed l on Hon. B. W. Green's lot, in memory of his wife. It stands about six feet and is a very massive, one of the larg est in tiie cemetery; of elegant design and the best of workmanship. The monument weighs over ten tons and required strenuous work to place it in position. The Foley Brothers Com pany, monument builders, Oleau, N. Y., were the designers and contractors. While writing these few words the situation as to the future comes to our mind very forcibly: We remember when Newton Cemetery was located and deeded by T. L. Messereau and wife to John B. Newton, and by deed from John B. Newton, June 29th, 1881, to the Borough of Emporium. A major portion of the lots had been sold by Mr. Newton yet a large number of unsold yet remained. Long since all of these lots have been disposed of and a large plot of land, owned by the J. S. \V iley Estate added. Naturally the owners of lots in the two cemeteries wonder what will be the future pro visions made to care for the cemeteries. It has been suggested that an organiza tion be formed and both cemeteries secured, and a fund deposited as an endowment, the interest to be devoted exclusively, for the care and improve ment of the resting place. Another suggestion has beeu made that a large plot of land, sufficient to last for many years, be secured if possible near the original Newton Cemetery. Who will move iu this matter? Engagement Announced. Last Thursday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett Leutze announced the en gagement of their daughter, Miss Em ma to Mr. Ross, of the placo.
