A Significant Parade.

A significant sight in these times of
parades over returning soldiers will be
the marching of hundreds of members
of the Sunday Schools of Johnstown
and vicinity at the State Sabbath
School Convention commencing there
on Tuesday, October 18th, to continue
three days. This feature will take
place Wednesday afternoon, and at it's
conclusion the children in line will be
gathered into three great meetings in
the largest churches of the city, where
addresses will be made by some of the
leading Sabbath School workers of the
country. To those people tinged with
pessimism, who believe all the forces
of the country are being marshalled
for evil and none for good, this will be
a sight worth going many miles to see.
1t will be but one feature, however, of
what it is hoped will prove the most
beneficial gathering of Bible School
workers ever held in the State. Dele
gates and visitors are expected from
every county, and the Johnstown peo-
pie have generously offered to enter
tain all who come. Excursion rates
will be charged on the railroads.

thought so surely won, the score stand

over three hundred loyal Emporium

ating defeats ever administered to the
Emporium base ball team.
The weather was perfect, auspices
favorable, our team supposed to be in
excellent condition and thoroughly
alive to the Importance of playing
good ball that day, whether they ever
did again or not, there seems to be but
one reason for our losing the game

the phenomenal catch of a foul fly as
well as double play to Farrell, by Nc

Oil on Pine Creek.

A special dispatch to the Elmira Ad-
vertiser from Galeton says: "Great ex-
| citement has been caused here by the
discovery of oil in large quantities in
| the well drilled upon the Atwell farm
at Gaines and from all appearances
Pine Creek will become one of the
greatest oil fields in Pennsylvania. E.
M. Atwell, the lumberman of Gaines,
has been at work on this well for some
time, and about two weeks ago dis
covered oil at 800 feet, which was con-
sidered phenomenal, owing to the
depth that had been drilled and the
fact that the well had never been shot;
however, nothing exciting occurred
until last Saturday when arrangements
had been made to pump the well, and
as soon as the pump was started the
oil commenced to flow, in manner
which surprised the operators, and the
pump was shut down while the well
continued to flow until ten barrels had
been taken from the hole. Mr. At
well has up to this date taken fifty
barrels of fine oil from the well and
hiss never been able to allow the oil to
run to its greatest capacity owing to
lack of storage, but has under con-
struction 200 barrel tank and it is
expected that the well will be pumped
this week and the exact production
ascertained. Scores of oil speculators
and other curious people are focking
to Gaines and every effort is being
made to lease the land of the adjoining
property owners, who are inclined to
give the privilege of operating to the
man that has demonstrated beyond
doubt that Gaines is rich in oil and gas
deposits, and anyone doubling this to
be fact has but to visit the scene and
witness the flow of oil from well,
which experts claim will produce thirty
barrels under proper facilities for oper-
ating. That there is plenty of gas in
this territory is also demonstrated by
the flowing of this oil, the gas of which
at times will force the oil to the top of
the derrick and which can easily be
distinguished while the well is flowing.
Mr.. Atwell has under way the imme-
diau erection of two more derricks
and company of oil spectators will
also drill a well in that vicinity within
the next thirty days. Real estate in
that little town is decidedly booming.

Raised q Check.

Monday morning a man by the
name of Amer, claiming to hail from
Geo. Hart's camp on Bailey Run, pur-
chased a suit of clothes at Soble's and
ordered some slight alterations made
in them, saying that he would call for
the suit in a few hours. In payment
for the same he offered check of Mr.
Hart's, drawn to the amount of $40. 90
and in return received S26 80 in change.
Shortly after Amer's departure from
the store Mr.. Soble discovered that the
check had been raised from the original
sum of S4.9O to the aforesaid amount
which he had accepted it for and when
his smooth customer returned for his
suit Mr.. Soble demanded the money
which he had given him in return for
the check, which Amner Immediately
forked over, and left the store. Mr..
Soble, having secured his money, not
desiring to prosecute him, let him 90,
but Mr.. Hart, whom Mr.. Soble had
informed, desired to make an example
of the crook, and Immediately started
in search Of him, and was rewarded
for his trouble by locating his man at
Austin, on Tuesday. He was lodged
in Jail to await the action of the Grand
Jury next December.
