A Romantic rIeeting.

There was a somewhat romantic
meeting at the home of Hon. G. w.
Stone, Sunday, when Gen. B. +. Fisher,
of Valley Forge, Chester county and
Captain L. II. Borchers, of this city,
grasped hands and exchanged felicita-
tions for the first time in thirty-four
years. Both are veterans of the civil
war and the last time they saw each
other was in Libby prison, where for
seven months they endured together
the terrible hardships of rebel prison
life. The two former comrades were
invited to dine with Congressman
Stone. They spent the afternoon to-
gether and recalled incidents of the
war and prison experiences. Gen.
Fisher was one of the party of eleven,
headed by Captain Rose, who dug a
tunnel out of Libby prison and escaped
on the night of Feb. 10, 1864. He was
never recaptured. He kept under
cover of woods and after number of
days he reached Fortress Monroe.
About that time Captain Borchers was
paroled after twenty. seven months of
prison life. Gen. Fisher returned to
his home Sunday evening. Warren

Facts for Republicans.

"Silver Joe' Sibley can only be
elected to Congress by Republican
votes. Why should he be elected ?
Look over his record. While in Con-
gress he introduced nine bills; only
one was taken out of committee; and
not one of the nine became law.
What was he good for in Congress?
Our present representative, Charles
w. Stone has much different record.
No member is more faithful to the
interests of his constituents; no mem
Der is more prompt to answer every
inquiry; none more active diligent and
attentive to duty.
In what way can Mr. Sibley be "a
better representative of this Congress
sional district than is Mr., Stone?
Why should Republicans elect a
full-blooded Silverite? A man of fads
isms and notions. There is no good
reason.
We say to the Republicans of Warren
county: Don't let the personal differ
ences and factional quarrels of Repub-
licans in Kane, Oil City or any other
place in this district, influence you
particle or turn you away from sup
porting Mr. Stone for Congress; a man
who is an honor to Warren county and
who stands high in the estimation of
President Mckinley and other promin-
ent Republican leaders. Don't forget
that the election of Democratic Con-
gress this year would be a public
calamity. Vote for men who are true
to the party and to the people they
represent.
The chairman the Venango Demo-
cratic county committee said recently:
''THE ONLY HOPE WE HAVE OF
ELECTING THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET IS BY GETTING REPUBLI-
CANS TO VOTE FOR OUR CANDI-
DATES. WE HAVE NOT ENOUGH
DEMOCRATIC VOTES TO WIN"
This open admission ought to be
sufficient to inform Republicans of
Warren county as to the purposes and
plan of campaign by the Democrats.
Every possible effort will be made to
induce Republicans to betray their
party, and repudiate their lifelong
devotion to its principles. Appeals on
personal grounds and every other
device will be used as a means of get
ting Republicans to vote for the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress, who, if
elected, would vote in opposition to
every Republican measure calculated
to support the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Charles w. Stone,
the Republican candidate for Congress
is a tried, true, able, honest man.
Don't fail to vote for him. He will
represent you faithfully.

A Railroad Rumor.

There is local interest in the report
in railroad circles that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad is negotiating to pur-
chase the w. N. Y. & p. The Penn
sylvania, as is well-known, connects
with w. n. Y. & p. at Emporium.
The Pennsylvania is very anxious to
get into Buffalo, and by the purchase
of the w. n Y. & P this end would
be accomplished. 1t is said that the
directors and officers of the Pennsyl-
vania favor the scheme. The Buffalo
Commercial says that ''enough has
leaked out through semi-offfcial sources
to warrant the statement that the
Pennsylvania has or will make a deal.n
The Western New York & Pennsyl-
vania would be most valuable link in
the vast chain. The absorption of the
Western New York & Pennsylvania by
the larger company would undoubtedly
take the present car shops away from
Olean in the end.-Olean Times.

From Coal Dump to Legislature.

Suppose we were to read of some
man, living in another county or state,
who managed, before he was sixteen
years old, to acquire good common
school education while working as
slate picker in a colliery at so cents
per day. Suppose we should read
that this boy at the age of sixteen
years went away to strange place,
where country paper was published,
and hired himself out as an apprentice;
that he rose by the power of hard work,
honesty and integrity, from the posi-
ton of printers DEVIL" to be sole
manager, editor and publisher of this
same paper; that when he was 45 years
of age he had been for many years one
of the acknowledged leaders of the
Republican party in his county, a man
of influence and leader in all public
enterprises; and that he had honorably
represented his county in the State
Legislature, this same county to which
he came at the age of 16 years, with
nothing but his honesty and energy
to recommend him. Should we read
this thing we would envy the county
that had such a man among her citi-
zens. We would say, ''There is man
his fellow citizens should delight to
honor; there is a man any county
ought to be proud Of" Where does
this man live? He is citizen of Cam
eron county, Pennsylvania, and has
been for thirty years or more. For the
above is, though brief, true sketch of
the life of Henry II. Mullin, our candi-
date for Representative, and man
whom the people may rely upon to be
in his place from the beginning to the
end of the session of the Legislature,
and to fairly and honestly represent
his constituents at all times. Henry
II. Mullin stands squarely before the
people on his record.
1t was common talk among the Re-
representatives. from all parts of the
state, at Harrisburg, during the session
of f'94 and '95, that no man in the state
worked harder, more persistently or
more enthusiastically for the best in
terest of his county than Mullin, of
Cameron. A strong party man, loyal,
brave, true to his friends, yet Mr.
Mullin may always be depended upon
to remain true to the best interests of
Cameron county under any and all
circumstances

The p. r. K. Co.'s New Bridge.

Work on the new bridge that the p.
R. r. Co., are putting in just below
the junction, is progressing as rapidly
as possible. The middle pier has been
completed and in another week the
west end abutment will be in condition
to support the sleepers and iron railing.
In order to insure a solid foundation
for the pier and abutment, excavations
were made to the depth oftwenty eight
feet below the level of the rails. Two
crews are employed, one for the day
and one for the night shift

Wedding Bells.

One of the prettiest autumn we'd
dings ever witnessed in Emporium
was solemnized at the Methodist
Episcopal Church last Wednesday at
high noon, when Miss Mary Ardelle,
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Matthew Phoenix, of Cameron,
and Mr. Richard Skyles Oyler,
of Westport were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock
The church was beautifully decor
ated; the altar being one profusion of
roses, ferns and smilax and the chancel
rail was banked with palms and
autumn flowers.
At half-past eleven the guests began
to assemble and before the midday
hour had arrived the church was filed
with interested spectators.
Messrs. Mock, Porter and Harris as
ushers discharged their duties most
gracefully.
Promptly at the appointed time the
doors were thrown open and to the
strains of Mendelsshons Wedding
March, rendered by Miss Sadie Chap
man, the ushers entered and slowly
moved down the aisle followed by Miss
Gertrude Potter, Miss Byrde Taggart,
Miss Staples, as bridesmaids, Miss
Nellie Huntley, Maid of Honor, with
Mr.. Skillington as best man and the
bride leaning on the arm ofthe groom.
The bride was arrayed in a rich gown
of mousseline de sole over white silk
and carried a boquet of Brides Roses,
and the groom was neatly attired in
the conventional black.
At the end of the aisle they were met
by the Rev. j. N. Johnston who per-
formed the beautiful and impressive
marriage service of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, after the two had
/ been made one the blessings Of God
were invoked and the newly married
couple marched down the aisle, the
admired OF all present
The bridal party together with a
/ large number of relatives and friends
We're conveyed to the Warner House
where brilliant reception took place,
and at 3:20, amid shower of rice and
I the best wishes of their friends, the
happy couple departed on wedding
tour to Washington, Philadelphia and
other eastern cities.
The bride with her many accom-
plishments and charming personality
has ever been a central figure among
! the youn ger society of Emporium, and
her popularity cannot be better at
tested than by the genuine regret with
which her host of friends witnessed
her departure. The groom is a popular
and talented young minister and al
present is filling the pastorate of the
Westport M. E. Church, at which
place they will reside upon their re
turn from the wedding trip.

POLITICAL NOTES.

If District Attorney Graham has no
more evidence against Senator Quay
than he has yet produced he may find
himself impeached and removed from
office, as it is somewhat dangerous to
attempt to blacken a mars reputation
with trumped up, rotten charges.
The pharisaical reformers make a
great ado about Senator Quay's tele-
gram in which he says che will shake
the plum tree" These wonderful
second sight-seers will get it through
their heads after a while that what
they think this phrase meant is not
evidence and that they can by no pos
sibility learn what the Senator did
mean by it unless the Senator himself
tells them.
The Philadelphia Press published an
important dispatch from Norristown,
which stated that the Anti-Quay
League expected to poll large vote
in the strong anti-Quay districts" of
that county. That man would be
likely to meet the strongest opposition
where he had the strongest opposition
is, to say the least, a very peculiar
thing the Importance of which it
requires the enormous brain of a poll
tical genius working over time to dis
cover

Another Murder i'm Potter.

At three O'Clock last Saturday after
noon at the quiet little town of Mills,
located in the heart of Potter county,
James Whitehead frenzied with jeal-
ousy deliberately entered a neighbor's s
house, where his wife was staying and
fired three shots into her defenseless
body. After committing the cowardly
deed he cody walked away from the
house, entered a piece of woods and
has not been heard of since. A large
posse of men under the leadership of
Sheriff Gillon are securing the woods
and patroling the different roads lead
ing out of Mills, in search of the muir
derer and as his description has been
telegraphed to all surrounding towns,
his capture will only be question of
a few hours.
Mrs. Whitehead is still alive but can
not recover.
Whitehead's description is as follows:
Five feet, six to eight inches in height;
weight, about 140 pounds; dark hair
and moustache; thumb off right hand
left shoulder recently injured, may
still be bandaged; reserved demeanor;
generally uncommunicative to strang-
ers. He wore a lightweight coat-no
overcoat-and pointed shoes. County
Commissioner Stevens visited the
scene of the murder yesterday and
assured the District Attorney that a
reward would Immediately be offered
for Whitehead's apprehension.
