The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1880-11-05

There is no rubbing it out that better BIZ
luminous coal than the white Ash" mined
at South Fork, this county, by Mr.. f. w.
MentZer of HOliidaysburg, is not to be found
anywhere. Having burned it during last
winter and secured a car load for this win
ter, we can recommend it to any one who has
not yet laid in his supply of coal, as we know
it to be well screened and first class in every
respect. Orders left at this Office will be
prOmptlyforwardedt to Mr.. MentZer
Mr.. Jacob kist, of East COnemaugh, met
with an accident of a serious nature at the
passenger station in johnstOwn on Monday
evening last, resulting in the crushing of his
right foot to jelly and necessitating the
amputation of the member just at the ankle,
1t appears he had no regular employment,
bHt had been doing some abOring work in
JOhnStOwn during the day, and in preference
to walking home concluded to board an extra
freight east, the attempt ending in his serious
injury above stated.
1t was indeed disastrous deluge. and
only the more deplOrablc because such good
men as Hancock, CoffrOth, BauIRer, andoth-
crs like them, have been 50 ShamcleSSlV en-
guphed, while those who are their interiors
in many respects and their superiOTs in none
have been safely waited into positions which
neither of them are so well fitted for as the
men they have defeated. Out upon the de
generate Democrats who have been instru-
mental in bringing this disgraceful disaster
upon our cause and our candidates.
No man laboTed more ZeaiouSly for the
success of the whole Democratic ticket in
this county than did Mr.. Langbein, whose
defeat for the office of ProthonOtaTy is
shame and repToach TO the hundreds OF
Democrats who either scratched his name or
voted against him. The same is the case in
respect to Mr.. Sweeny, the defeated candi-
date for Register and Recorder, who was
only less prominent in the campaign because
sickness interviewed to prevent him from
taking a more active part. Shame and con
fusion to those who have done the dirty work.
The JOhnstOwn Tribune says that Mr.
Charles &. Merritts, of MillYiile borough. Is
the father of three children, and 1t can he re
corded as a most singular coincidence that
they were respectively born on three leading
holidays. Ettie j., the eldest of the family
first saw the light of life on July 1, 1876 ;
| Charles c., the second of the flock, was born
on New Years, 1873, and the third, Andrew
Roy, on Christmas last. MT. Merritts is q
. gentleman who has many warm friends in
, this community, and we are pleased TO learn
that his olive branches are all rugged and
healthy Such a coincidence MeTritts at least
passing notice.
Now that the hurly-burly Of the political
campaign is past and gone, we should no
longer neglect to return thanks, on behalf of
our better half, To Mr. John j. Murphy
Catholic bookseller and statiOner, l3O Grant
I street Pittsburgh, for handsomely printed
and neatly bound copy of Hymns, one of
the latest, if not the very latest emanatiOn
from the prolific pen Of the renowned and
revered Father Faber. Mr.. Murphy, it is
proper to say, can furnish any work or artl-
Gle inshiS line that may be desired, and his
old friends in Cambria county and elsewhere
should not forget him when they want to
purchase books, stationery. religious articles,
etc.
Mr.. Thomas F. Kelly, who has been try
ing his vocation tor the past six months at
st. Francis Monastery, LoTettO was clothed
with tile Franciscan habit on Tuesday even
ing last, and now enters on his second trial Of
one year. after which, if he peTSeyeres, he
will make the solemn profession OF terVOr
devoting himself in a special manner to the
service of God. Persons who Join religious
/ orders generally change their names, hence
/ MI. Kelly will be Known hereafter as Brother
FideliS. Mr.. Thomas Blake received the
I habit at the same time and place, and took
{ the name Of Brother Leo Our very best
5 wishes are with the two promising young
Z men in their new mode of life.
1t is a cardinal principle Of all political
i creeds that the man who IL nominated ought
to he supported by his political friends, and
while such rule would have been more hon
ored in the breach than IN the observance 50
far as Garfield. Campbell, BOggs * Co. are
concerned, no Democrat who refused to be
guided by that principle Is worthy of the
confidence of either his political friends or
his political foes 1t is the right and duty
of every man to use his best efforts to secure
! the nomination Of his favOTite candidates,
! but when he fails in that he sinks his man
hood and merits the ScOm of all decent men
I by opposing any candidate on the ticket.
Especially Is this true when such men as
CoffToth, BaumeT, Langbein and Swecny are
( the victims, for there is not one Of them who
either personally or politically deserved such
/ a fate.
! We are Sorrv to learn Of the death of our
( young friend John Casey Mccullough. OF
: Altoona, which occurred quite suddenly al
an early hour on Monday morning last, from
i hemorrhage of the lungs. Deceased had
I been i'm Colorado for the benefit of his health,
: bat finding no relief he returned on WedueS-
+ day of last week, only to die four days after
I in the midst Of his family and friends. lie
. was a son of our old friends Mr.. and Mrs.
John VI CullOUgh. formerly of IfollidaySbuTc,
anda brOther.of Mr. +. i. Mccullough of the
Altoona Tribune Job department, and of Sis
ter Mary Francis, of the order OF Sisters OF
+. Charity, the mother house of which is in that
{ city We extend our sincere sYmpathies to
/ the beTeaved family in the untimeY loss OF
I one so worthy of their tender love and deyO-
tIOn and so greatly esteemed by all who knew
. him. MAY his soul rest IN peace
[ Mr.. Edward OTmSby, of Philadelphia,
I who haG a Sub-cOntract for portion of the
. fancy stone work designed TO adOrn the front
of our new Court House, and who has been
tarrying among us for the last two months
and a half, left on Wednesday morning
last for his home, where he has secured al
all winter job, and where at 1871 South Eigh
teenth street he will be glad to meet any ot
his friends. Mr.. Ormsby is not only sound
young Democrat and an admiTerO of the FREE
MAN, for which he subscribed before his de
parture, but he is one of the most genial and
cOmpaniOnable gentlemen with whom the
young folks of our town have ever had the
pleasure Of becoming acquainted, and we
are sure that all who enjoyed his friendship
while here were as sorry to see him leaving
as we know he was to 90. That good Iuck
may attend him wherever his future lot may
be cast Is the sincere wish of the many friends
he has left behind him.
