The President Sends n Message to Con-
gress In Relation to Rewards for Hobson,
Newcomb and Hodgson.
Washington, June 2s.-The presi-
dent yesterday sent two special mes
sages to congress providing for recog-
nizing the services of Lieut.. Hobson,
the hero of the Merrimac; OF Lieut..
Newcomb and the crew of the revenue
cutter Hudson, which rescued the
torpedo boat Winslow at Cardenas;

Country Will be Led by the Oficer Of
Highest Rank.
Washington, June 2S.-Preparations
for hurrying reinforcements to Gen.
Shafter and for the Porto Rico expe-
dition are progressing as fast as possi-
BILE. Gen. Skaters orders are to send
back to Tampa as many of the trans
ports with his expedition as he can
spare. 1t was stated officially yester-
day that Gen. Miles would command
the next expedition which leaves the
United States. Just what this is to
be, and where it is to go could not be
ascertained. The reinforcements
which are to be sent to Shafter will
make an expedition nearly as formid-
able as that which left Tampa two
weeks ago. After Santiago has been
captured by the American forces,
there will be an ample number to
leave in the province to preserve order
and hold the place, while the re-
mainder will be used for the Porto
Rico expedition.
The officials at the war department
declined to indicate where the 10 regl-
ments which Gen. Brooke commands
at Chickamauga would be sent. Fer
nandina, Fla, has been put in readi-
ness for large number of men, and
it may be the Chickamauga men will
go there. AT Miami, further down the
coast, there are about six regiments,
while at Tampa on the gulf coast,
there are approximately $4,000 men.
1t is possible that the department may
follow recommendation made to 1t
and keep the men at Chickamauga un-
til the transports are ready to receive
them at the embarking point.

BLEW DOWN THE CANVAS.
A Wind Storm Demolishes a Circus Tent
Causing Two Fatalities.

Causing Two Fatalities.
Sioux City, Iowa, June 25.-A severe
wind storm struck this city last night,
blowing down the main tent of the
Sells-Forepaugh circus while a per-
formance was in progress. The col
lapse of the canvas caused panic in
which score or more of people were
injured. One of them, Adolph Halver-
sent, of Sioux City, died soon after
ward, while Frank Reynolds, an at
tache of the show, is hurt internally
and it is believed will die.
The day was hot and sultry and the
evening threatening, but crowds of
country people had come to town and
they with the natives made up crowd
that almost filled the tents for the
evening performance. At about 0
o'clock the hot wind which had been
blowing all afternoon freshened and
in few minutes deluge of rain fell
upon the hundreds of pleasure seekers
pelting through their canvas shelter
and drenching them. This had lasted
center pole begun to sway and the guy
ropes to creak from the pressure of
the wind, which had become gale.
Fright took possession of the crowd
and wild scramble for the exits be-
gan. Scores of the employees of the
circus were called into service in an
attempt to calm the fears of the panic
stricken people and to save them from
danger they were momentarily max
ing greater by their headlong break
for the open air. Many were tramped
under foot or bruised by falling tim
bers as the structure collapsed.

Did Not Make the Attempt.

Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
June 2S.--It is believed Admiral Ger
vera contemplated making dash out
of the harbor Saturday night. Four
columns of smoke were seen at sun
down advancing towards the mouth
of the harbor and two small boats, be-
lieved to be torpedo boat destroyers,
were observed near the sunken collier
Merrimac. Rear Admiral Sampson
ordered extra precautions to be taken.
No ships came out. Shortly after
midnight the dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius fired three gun cotton shells in.
the direction of MORO castle. They
exploded on the ridge.

BOUGHT EIGHT SHIPS.
The Government Purchases n Large Lot
of 2tea mara for EI.a nsnartlnar Irnans

The Government Purchases q Large Lot
of Steamers for Transporting Troops.
Washington, June 25.-An impor-
tant addition to the war departments
list of vessels available for transport
and freight service was announced
Friday This was the purchase Of
eight large ships of over 5000 tons
burden each, for use on the Atlantic
coast. Seven of the eight to be used
on the Atlantic coast were obtained
from the Atlantic transport line,
which operates it's steamers from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore to Lon
don. Heretofore the practice of the
war department has been to charter
all the vessels which it has used, and
the announcement of the acquisition
of the ships by purchase is new de-
parture in the policy of the govern
ment, due, it is believed, to the fact
that the owners and agents of the
companies have asked such high
prices.
1t was authoritatively stated yester-
day that impressment of ships on the
Atlantic coast would not be resorted
to, but such as were desired would be
obtained in some other way. The pur-
chase price of the ships secured from
the Atlantic transport line was not
stated at the department, but it is un-
derstood that the amount was nearly
$4,000,000.
Added to the dozen ships already
available for this expedition, the eight
vessels make up fleet that will trans
port an army as large as that which
Gen. Shafter took with him. Nine of
the transports heretofore chartered
by the government are at Tampa and
two are on their way there from New
York, while one remains at the latter
city.

Fifth regiment, formerly the Associ-
alton Engineers, and Company d,
Ninth battalion (colored), formerly

way, on their way to Columbus. The
three companies will be sworn into
service at Columbus. The Fifth regi-
ment, of which companies B and l are
a part, had received a set of colors
from the chamber of commerce, but
Company d had not been thus favored,
so on their march to the depot they
stopped in front of the chamber of
commerce building and were pre-
sented with handsome silk flag

Young Woman Cremates Herself.

Cleveland, June 2S.-The most des-
perate suicide ever recorded in Cuya-
hoga county was committed by Miss
Anna Forester, of this city, Monday
morning at Oakdale, pleasure resort
two miles north of Bedford. The
young, woman entered a barn near
the farmhouse where she boarded
with a coal oil can in her hand. A
few moments later the building was
ablaze and Anna Forester was seen
kneeling in the midst of the flames,
apparently praying that her life,
which she had no desire to continue,
might be taken away. No cause is
known for the act.

Purh Law Upheld.

Columbus, June 25.-The Pugh law
which was declared to be constitu-
tional by the supreme court yesterday,
provides that all persons signing petit
tions. of the minority political parties
or Independent candidates for places
on the official ballot will have to GER
tify their intention to vote the ticket
petitioned for. This means that any
party except the republican and demo
cratic will have great difficulty in get
ting on the ballot without having III
the previous election cast more thar
/ per cent. of the total vote cast in the
state. 1t is not thought that either Of
the minor parties will be able to get
the necessary S,640 voters to signify
their intention to vote the ticket,
though it is barely possible that the
union ticket of the populist, free sill
yer republican and liberty parties may
succeed. This law affects the prohibi-
tionists the most.

Third Expedition Star = FOR Manila.

San Francisco, June 2S.-Another
fleet of transports has sailed out
through the Golden Gate to the Pa
,cific. Monday afternoon the third
feet of vessels loaded with soldiers
and supplies for the Philippines

ing of hundred S,Aistles and the
booming of cannons, proceeded down
the bay toward the ocean and by night
were well on their way to Manila.
The ships which left yesterday carried
about 1000 men. The steamer Val
encia was not ready for sea and will
probably sail with the steamer New
port on Wednesday.

Apple Crop IL n Failure.

Cleveland, June 24.-The apple crop
is almost an entire failure in northern
Ohio this year Farmers do not know
how to account for the failure, as the
buds were not killed by the frost. 1t
is said that the apple crop fails in this
section of the country about every
third year, without regard to frost.
1t is a sort of periodical failure. There
is an unusually heavy crop of small
fruits of all kinds. Blackberries, rasp-
berries, etc, are plentiful.

Narrow Escape.

Last Thursday, the Rev. Robertson,
Rector of Emmanuel Church, met with
an accident while attempting to board
Erie mail. He waited to procure
newspaper from the newsdealer and
after procuring the same walked back
to the ladies car to get aboard. The
train was moving at quite brisk rate
when he made the effort Being en-
numbered with satchel and an UNI
brella he had only one hand to assist
himself with He was thrown on his
head and shoulders close to the car
wheels and had it not been for the
presence of mind of Station Agent
Gallagher, who pulled him from the
passing wheels, the Reverend gentle
man would have been terribly mangled.
The train was stopped and the thor
oughly frightened Rector got aboard
and resumed his journey to Warren.

Death of ID. Is. Reed.

D. Blair Reed died at the Warren HospitaE
about 3;45 last Saturday morning, after an illnesi
of several years, aged 40 years. His remains
were taken to his home at Driftwood on the
Erie mail same day, The funeral was held
Monday from the family residence and was very
largely attended, Rev. NJ. G. Piper, OF NJ. l.
Church officiating. Mr.. Reed was, we believe,
charter member of Driftwood Lodge, a. Y. NJ
and that fraternity took charge of the funera.-
When taken sick he had been continuously in
the employ Of the Pennsylvania r. r. Co., as
telegrapher and yard master, since mere lad.
and so far as known held the record on the mid
die division for continuous service with thas
company. He leaves wife and one daughter
with whom the PRESS sincerely sympathizes ia
their ailiction. We regret deeply inability -
be present and pay that last respect due
dear friend of our boyhoOd days. Blair Reed
came from q family who valued their word, thei-
principles, far above this worlds goods. In lits
he a genial, generous, wholesouled fellow,
whose time and energies were eNerted for the
benefit of his fellow man.
Politically we never knew a more stalyaEG
Republican than he and in these days OF corrup-
ton and debauchery, his equal does not exist
MAKE it unanimous, Harry" were his cXcama-
tions as he cheered us on in the battles for the
principles of that great party he so dearly loved
and believed i'll. Peace to his memory.

EMPORIUM PA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER a. 1898.
Farewell Services.

Rev. w. R. McNeirs pastorate ofthe
First Baptist church of Emporium,
ceased with last Sundays services.
Rev. Mcneil came to Emporium eight
years ago and has labored zealously
for the upbuilding of his church. Dur
ing the past year his health has failed
and his physician has ordered him to
cease active labor for the present. 1t
is with general regret that this elo-
quent divine leaves Emporium. He
has by his genial manners won the re-
spect and esteem of all classes and
creeds. Ever ready to lend a hand in
any laudable enterprise, always gladly
raising his voice in behalf of any good
cause. w r. Mcneil was closely iden-
titled with our town and county. A
man of liberal and consistent views up
on all subjects, a man of strong will
power, he dares to do what he con-
siders right at all times and under all
circumstances and never buries his
opinions under half-bushel measure.
Rev. Mcneil is broad-guaged gentle
man, a consistent christian-a true
American citizen.
The services at the Baptist church
last Sunday were largely attended by
our people, a mark of respect to the re-
firing Pastor. At the evening services
Rev. Rob't McCasin, Pastor of the
Presbyterian church, occupied the
pulpit and delivered a very able ad-
dress and feelingly referred to the high
esteem in which Rev. Mcneil is held
by our citizens. Rev. McNeiPs re-
marks were not ofthe ''farewelf' order,
yet he spoke in his usual happy strain
and related his experience of forty
years in the ministry.
Prof H. F. Stauffer, principal of EN-
porium schools, spoke few words in
behalf of the friends and admirers of
the Rev. gentleman present His re-
marks conveyed the unanimous senti-
ments of our people.
The Emporium lodge, No. 382, A. Y.
M, of which Rev. Mcneil has been the
faithful Chaplain for some time, attend
ed the services in body, mark of re-
spect seldom accorded one of their
number.
The PRESS extends to our old friend,
and his estimable family, its best and
heartfelt wishes for long life of much
happiness. 1t has been our good fort
une to coun tamong our intimate friends
this good man and words cannot ex-
press how deeply we feel indebted to
him for the many kind acts of
friendship so cheerfully rendered in
our behalf.
Rev. Mcneil and family will reside
at Bridgeton, n. j.
