Republican County Committee.

The Republican county committee
met at the Warner House last Thurs
day, to fix the date for the holding of
the primary election and county con-
vention. Every district in the county
was represented and the best of feel
ing prevailed. On motion it was re-
solved that the primary election be
held on Saturday, Sept. 24th, and the
convention on Tuesday, Sept. 9th.
The committee passed a resolution
empowering the committeeman from
each district to select the delegates to
be voted at the primaries, also that all
candidates file their names with the
Secretary of the County Committee
that their name may be printed on the
tickets to be presented to the primary
election officers in each district. 1t
was also decided that inasmuch as the
Associate Judge to be nominated is
conceded to the eastern section of
the county that no instructions be
voted for said Office in Shippen and
Emporium-leaving the delegates free.
That the Republicans may fully under
stand the matter, we will briefly give
the plan decided upon. Each district
is entitled to certain number of dele
gates; the committeeman from each
district will select the exact number of
Republicans to act as delegates and
place their names in the hands of the
Secretary of the county committee;
mittee will place the names at the
top of the ticket; below will follow the
names of all candidates for the several
county offices; the voter will mark an
X after the candidate he desires to
vote for and the candidate receiving
a majority of the votes cast in each
district will receive the votes, in the
convention, of the delegates from his
district for five ballots. The plan is
practically the Crawford county sys-
tenn and gives the voter Il choice of
candidates, not leaving the decision to
the delegates. The tickets will be
placed in the hands of the chairman
of the district committee. The prim-
ary election will be conducted under
the Act of Assembly. We believe the
new system will work better and be
more harmonious than a general, at
times disgusting, scramble for dele
gates. The plan adopted is honest and
fair to all.

Barn DESTROYED.

About two o'clock Tuesday morning,
the barn belonging to John Costello,
located at the rear of Eagle Hotel,
was discovered to be on fire and
a general alarm was given, which
was quickly responded to by all four
C~APanies.
The Citizens and Hooks were the
first to arrive on the scene and their
prompt action prevented the fire
from spreading to the adjoining build
ings, and in short time had the
the flames entirely subdued.
Mr.. Costello estimates his loss on
the barn and contents at 5000, with no
insurance. 1t is reported that num-
ber of "hoboes" were seen issuing
from the burning building at the time
the alarm was given.

Keeping Up His Record.

There is probably no where around,
a more prosperous business man than
Frank McGloin, the "sailor boy
grocer,"and real estate owner of Ridg-
way. For the past twenty-six years
he has resided in the borough of Ridg-
way and he can with just pride point
to the fact that he owns and has paid
for house for every year he has been
in the town. On Tuesday he closed
one of the biggest real estate deals of
the season and became the owner of
the R. l. Robinson property, corner of
Center and Elk streets, which he pur-
chased from w. H. Hyde, paying
therefore the round sum of $4,000.
The newly acquired property consists
of two lots facing Centre St., on which
there are three good dwelling houses.
The houses are very desirable ones and
are now occupied by II. H. TenBroeck,
Herman Nauert and Thos. G. Gal
braith's families respectively. Mr..
McGloin's 81 years residence in Ridg-
way will not be reached until next
March, and, in order that his record
for one house for every year may not
be broken, it is his intention to build
on one of the new lots before that
time. He is a good landlord and keeps
his properties in good repair, thus
pleasing his tenants and maintaining
tho ua lpa nf hiC inuoctpoaptc
Mr.. McGloin is not much of man
for fuss and feathers, and, he is per-
fectly we'll satisfied if he can but be-
come the owner of 'just what joins"
his own property. His valuable hold
ings of real estate have been acquired
by close attention to business and all
who patronize his grocery or have any
dealings with him in any line of trade
always find that he sells at the lowest
possible living profits and that he
handles only goods that he can recon-
mend to his friends. .-Ridgway Advo-
cate. Frank McGloin is well and
favorably known in this section For
many years he was associated with M.
G. Tulis, of Emporium and together
they travelled this country, visiting
the people who seldom had an oppor-
tunity to visit the stores. Mr.. McGloin
married Miss Mary Farrell, of Empo-
rum, very excellent young lady.
Their host of Cameron county friends
are pleased to know they have pros
pered.

A Slight Blaze.

The alarm of fire was sounded in the
west ward, Sunday evening at nine
O'Clock and upon investigation was
found to be at the dwelling house on
Sixth street, occupied by w. w.
Weeks and owned bv Hyde, Murphy
& Co., of Ridgwny. The flames
had eaten small hole on the
Inside wall, back of the kitchen stove,
and were soon extinguished with the
aid of a few pals of water The
family were out of town on an excur-
sion at the time and Mr.. Weeks thinks
i must have been the work of incen-
daries.

A 00del Farm.

In slightly place, between 400 and
500 feet above the valley, on one of
the prominent hills which surround
Warren, with background of native
forest, standing on the brow of the
hill, is the summer home of Hon.
G. w. Stone.
Some distance back of this comfort
able country home is the Airmont
dairy farm, stocked with registered
herd of Jersey and Holstein COWS, well
cared for in comfortable barns, arrang-
ed for wintering and storing the crops
that are produced by good farming
and judicial fertilizing of the cultivated
land
The nearness of the farm to the
Warren Electric Power company's
plant makes it practicable to use cleo
tricity, power being used is generated
by means ofa Is horse power motor and
used whenever power is needed. Es-
pecially is this convenient in putting
up ensilage, of which large quantities
are used, and it is considered one of
the best milk producing forages of the
farm.
All the domestic stock on the farm
shows great care in selection, and Mr..
Stone does not object to riding behind
some fine roadsters when at home dur
his vacations, having laid aside his
official duties. 1t is then that he finds
his farm resort for rest and recrea-
ton and a never-ending source of
pleasure in watching the progress of
improvements, such as making roads,
setting out varieties of trees and shrubs,
obtained at home and abroad, and
there is no greater enjoyment for our
worthy Congressman than the taking
of a hand in this work himself.
Mr.. Stones knowledge of horticul-
ture is extensive as is evidenced by
his farm and as can be seen at his
Warren residence where the grounds
are covered with fine variety and
collection of ornamental and fruit
variety are the English oak and wal
nut and the st. Helena weeping willow.
At the close of President Harrison's
campaign i'll 'SS the large log cabin
that was erected on the late Judge
Scofield's lot on Liberty street by Har-
rison's supporters, and which did ex-
cellent service in the progress of the
local campaign to the Republican
cause, was purchased by Mr.. Stone
and carefully taken down, removed
and re-erected at conspicuous point
on his farm west of Warren, large
old fashioned Fireplace having been
added for parties frequently given by
the family of our Congressman, and it
is common saying: ga party up ut
Stones to-night see the light"
A gas" well on the farm furnishes
gas for heat and light, and when the
family are at home a large beacon
light may be seen guiding and well
coming the guests to this hospitable
farm and country home-Warren
Mirror.

Penn'a. Vol, was received by his wife
a few days ago and kindly submitted
to the PRESS for publications:
PONCE, PUERTO Rico,
July 30, 1898.
MY DEAR WIFE AND BABY:
| suppose you will be worried nearly
to death over my hardness in writing
but / did not have a chance to write
before we left Charleston, and we did
not meet any mail boat on our way
over so you see it is not my fault that
| did not write.
We were on the water seven days
and seven nights and some of the boys
were awful sea-sick before we landed.
Several of the boys are very sick with
typhoid fever and some have malarial
fever, but so far | have been feeling
very well. The climate is very much
better than it was in the states of Ten
nessee, Georgia or South Carolina, be-
cause of the sea breeze, but it rains,
every day regular and at night there
is very heavy dew so it makes it very
dangerous in regards to your lungs
and rheumatics, and also fevers. The
Spaniards are camped about 10 miles
back in the mountains, 5000 strong,
and when all the Americans are landed
there will be about 10000 of us and
four batteries of light artillery, so !
guess we can whip the Dons that are
near here, and we expect to start in
the morning for skirmish after the
"Espanos."
Then we go and beseige San Juan
and after we have taken that we will
come home, if Spain does not give up
before then. There is no use for them
to fight us any longer for we are bound
to win and that before long too.
The island is very plentiful with
fruit and the boys are doing it justice
too. There are pineapples, bananas,
cocoanuts, mangoes, poncos and bread
fruit, so you see we won't want for
fruit. Sugar cane grows in abundance
here and so rum is equally as plenti-
full. Some of the boys have drank a
trifie too much already.
They captured about fifty Spanish
Interpreters last night and to-day, and
| presume some of them will be shot
as spies.
Now don't worry over mail if you
don't get any, for we are going to a
country where mails will be few and
far between, but if anything happens
to me you will get cablegram from
Capt A. d. Burns, but there is every
reason to believe that l won't get hurt
Well, / must close for the present
and bid you good night, hoping viii
soon be home with my family, re
main your
True and loving husband,
E. j. FAUZY.
