Adams Express Company.

In order to attain distinction and
become reputably conspicuous, yet at
the same time without any fulsome-
ness, the Adams Express Management
appears to be determined. The record
it made at Camp Hastings, Mt. Gretna,
Pa, will ever remain happy reminis-
cence to those of the officers and pri-
Yates who enjoyed its services in times
of sore discomfort. It's arduous and
faithful discharge of duty during the
Civil War shall never be forgotten. A
trait its officers appear to most sedul-
Ously strive to inculcate in the hearts
and actions of its people is to do a
thing right or not to do it at all. The
display it will make at Reading, Pa,
seals this as conclusive.
Without any ostentation, with the
same freedom from parade that charac-
teriZes the movement of its numerous
special trains over the Pennsylvania
Railroad through the manipulation of
the General Manager, and General
superintendent of Transportation of
that system, it has arranged to make
an exhibit at Reading on Thursday
that will doubtless surprise the good
people of Berks and other counties
who witness the procession.
Reading, indeed, is to be honored by
the appearance in line of one of the
Company's mammoth vans, the capac-
ity of which is almost equal to car, a
vehicle whose dimensions are, length,
Is feet; height, feet inches; width,
5 feet 8 inches; height, from ground
up, 10 feet 9 inches; weighing 1890 lbs.
This van will be drawn by fonr fine
bay horses, equipped with beautiful
harness specially sent from New York,
and will be followed by four horse
double, and other single wagons.
When one considers that the express
business was inagurated by this con-
Germ in 1910 through the medium of a
hand satchel, followed by the intro
duction of wheel-barrow, until it has
reached its present costly and extensive
equipment, it would appear that good
management prevailed during it's en-
tirety.
The great van referred to was sent
to Reading by special movement OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad last Mon
| day night, and is alreadya a conspicuous
feature Of that thronged city. 1t is
needless to say that these vehicles are
not kept in stock because of their great
cost, hence the citizens of Reading can
| feel distinguished indeed because OF
it's appearance there, although it is
understood, by those who know, that
the Adams Express Company simply
wanted to testify its sincere apprecia-
ton of the good fellowship of the
people of Reading by this unusual dis
play upon its part and did so cheer
| fully.

FATHER MEAGHER MAY GO.
To Become the Rector of the New St.
Joseph's Church at Oil City.

1t is limited in Catholic ecclesiastical
circles that Rev. M. Meagher, of st.
Leo's r. G. church, of this place may
be assigned to the rectorship of St.
Joseph's church in Oil City.
While nothing definite of that char
acter has been done as yet, it is gener-
ally understood that the Ridgway
priest can be promoted should he SO
desire.
The vacancy in the Oil City church
has been left by the death of Rev.
Father Carroll, and the parish is
known as one of the most desirable in
Western Pennsylvania. The church
at that place is a new one and one of
the finest in this section. The con-
gregation is large, wealthy and infiu-
ential one, and should father Meagher
be assigned to the rectorship he would
find church and people awaiting him
that he could well be proud of.
There is large and flourishing paro-
chial school connected with the church
and by the will of the late rector, So, 900
has been bequeathed for the erection
and occupancy of a house by the sisters
who teach at st. Joseph's school
Three thousand dollars were bequeath-
ed for the support of the school, and
three thousand dollars for the poor
fund of st. Joseph's church. Father
Carroll by his will also left $4,000 for
keeping in proper repairs st Joseph's
cemetery, so that it can readily be
seen that the parish is most desirable
one for any priest in this diocese.
However, were Father Meagher to
consult his own inclinations, it is not
likely that he would care to leave
Ridgway. He has toiled and labored
here for the past twenty-four years,
and the fruits of his hard work are
seen in his rapidly growing congrega-
ton and the magnificent church build
ings that have been erected through
his instrumentality.
Father Meagher came to Ridgway
when he was a young man, but twenty
three years of age, and through all the
intervening years he has labored zeal
ously for the advancement of the
Lords kingdom.
He is universally esteemed and re-
spected for his many good qualities,
not only by his own Pensioners, but
| by the members of every other Christ
ian denomination in town. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that he will not be
called away from the people he has
| served SO well and faithfully for
many years, but should he be, he will
receive the hearty and sincere con-
gratulations of Ridgway people on his
good fortune and advancement-Ri
way Democrat.

Asleep on the Railroad.

Last Saturday night, Asa Kritner,
who has been employed as night watch
man for Messrs. III. G. Rich & Co., at
Gardeau, met with an accident that
came near causing his death. The
young man had been working during
the day and watching the engine at
night for three days and being tired
sat down on the w. N. Y. & P. Ry.,
track ''to get some fresh air." The lad
fell asleep along side of the track, his
right arm laying on the rail One of
the hill pushers came down the hill,
running over his arm, completely SER
vering it above the elbow. The maim-
ed young man with wonderful nerve,
ran down the embankment to his own
engine and blew the whistle to stop
the hill engine, but without effect He
continued to blow the whistle, but
failed to halt any of the passing en-
gines. His mother and brother, who
reside some distance from his station,
heard the alarm and came to his as
sistance. DR.. Smith was summoned
from Emporium during the night
and amputated the arm below the
shoulder. We are pleased to learn he
is getting along nicely. Young Kreit-
ner is very Industrious young man
and his misfortune is deeply regretted
by his friends.

Tn thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Mckinley has issued the following Thanksgiving proclama ton:
 The approaching November brings to mind the custom of our ancestors, halloWed by time and rooted in our most sacred tradition, of giving thanks to Almigh ty God for all the blessings He has vouchsafed to us during the past year.
 Few years in our history have afford ed such cause for thanksgiving. We have been blessed by abundant har- vests, our trade and commerce have been wonderfully increased, our public credit has been improved and strength ened, all sections of our common eoup- try have been brought together and knitted into closer bonds of national purpose and unity. The skies have been for time darkened by the cloud of war, but as we were compelled to take up the sword in the cause of hu- manltv, we are permitted to rejoice that the conflict has been of brief duration and the losses we have had to mourn. though grievous and important, have been so few considering the great results accomplished as to in- spire Us with gratitude and praise to the Lord of hosts We may laud and magnify his holy name that the eessa- tion of hostilties came so s6on as to spare both sides the count tless sorrows and disasters that attend protraeted war.
 1 do, therefore, invite all my fellow citizens, those at home as well as those who may be at sea or sojournng ill foreign lands, to set aside and abserVe Thursday. the twenty-fourlh day of November, as day of national thanks giving; to come together in their sev- eral places of worship for service of praise and thanks to Almi shty God | for all the blessings of the year, for mildness of the seasons and the fruit fnllness of the soil; for the ontinued prosperity of the people, for the l devotion and yalor of our countrymen, for the glory of our victory and the hope of righ tous peace, and to pray that divine guidance which has brought us heretofore to safety aud honor may De graciously continued ill the years to come.
