Sudden Death of Former Emporium
Boy.


Sudden Death of a Former Emporium
Boy.
On Saturday morning the sad intel
ligence reached here of the sudden
death of Frank w. r. White, at Buffalo,
and the evening papers confirmed the
report by stating that he had died of
heart failure while in the act of taking,
bath at his home about 500 O'Clock
that morning.
The deceased was twenty-seven
years Of age and came to Emporium
when he was very young, where he
resided until about six months ago.
when he went to Buffalo and accepted
a position as night engineer at Salens
packing house, where he was employed
up to the hour of his death While a
resident here he attended the High
School under Prof H. Fl. Webber and
was considered one of the brightest
pupils in his class, especially distin-
gushing himself in anything per-
tanning to mathematics. When he was
about seventeen years old he entered
the employ of the Emporium Milling
Co., as engineer at the Emporium
Roller Mills, which position he con-
tinued to hold, with entire satisfaction
to his employers, until his removal to
Buffalo last January Frank was an
industrious young man and his genial,
kind-hearted disposition won for him
a host of friends and made him popular
among his associates. Upon him de-
volved the responsibility of having to
provide for the home, he being the
chief support of dependent mother
who has the sincere sympathy of the
entire community in her great affiic-
ton. He was member of the Noun
taineer Hose Co., Excelsior Band and
the NJ. e. Sunday School Orchestra,
at this place, and in each OF these
organizations his presence will be
sadly missed. He leaves an aged
mother, two sisters and four brothers
to mourn his early demise. Deceased
was supposed to have been in the best
of health, with the exception of
slight arrangement of the kidneys, for
which he was being treated by DR.
Edward Bair. He was engaged to be
married within few weeks to Miss
Nellie Condor, of Williamsport, form
erly of this place; the griefstricken
young lady being present at the
funeral.
The funeral was held from his late
home at 102 Orlando Street, Buffalo,
on Monday afternoon at 200 o'clock
and was largely attended. Rev. Geo.
B. Newcomb, pastor of the fillmore
Avenue Baptist Church officiated,
assisted by the Rev. DR.. Patterson, of
the Seneca Street NJ E. Church, and
the singing, which was very impress
sive, was beautifully rendered by
quartette of young ladies from the
choir of the fillmore Avenue Baptist
Church. The floral offerings were
very beautiful; especially the touching
remembrances of Emporium friends
and of his associates in Buffalo. The
pall-bearers were all brother engineers
and members of Lodge No. 16 National
Association of Stationery Engineers,
with which order the deceased was
about to associate himself. The be-
reaved family have the sympathy OF
our entire community and will receive
all the aid and comfort possible at the
hands of many Opportunities now
residing in Buffalo, as well as the
many friends which the kind, loving
heart and sweet disposition of the
deceased had won for him among
strangers.

A BIG UNDERTAKING.
To Send Priaousrs to spain VIII Require
Elaborate Preparations.

New York. July 15.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, ID. c., says:
How the Spanish army is to be sent
back to Spain has proved to be
serious problem to the administration.
1t has to-day been the chief matter
under consideration. 1t has brought to-
gether mt intervals for conferences Of
tlcials In various departments, among
them Mr.. Meikeljohn, assistant secre-
tary of war: Secretary Alger, Surgeon
General Sternberg, Commissary Gem
eral Eagan, Adjutant General Corbin
and Colonel II. J. Heckner, chief OF the
Bureau of Transportation.
President Mckinley has been kept
Informed of these conferences. such
a thing" said an army officer In the
War, Department to me today, mas
hitherto been unheard of in military
annals, and while the new situation In
curiously interesting 1t is, nevertheless,
perplexing."
Health, food and means of transpor-
tation have been the chief points con
sidered. and safety to American sea
men and American ships have not heea
ignored, for example. Colonel Heck
ner has advised. am Informed on good
authority. that American bottoms bo
not considered. This suggestion haS
nearly prevailed, and in the proposals
for bids only neutral bottoms probably
will be considered, for 1t is frankly nd
mltted Mt the department that Ameri.
can transports would require conveys.
1t is suggested that neutral bottoms
would have right to put these prison.
ers Off ut any port in Spain.
Another point considered was rs to
who should feed the men. 1t was at
first suggested that this contract be
turned over TO the steamship COM

THE NEW CASTLE WRECK.
Responsibiiity for the Loss Placed Upon
tho Midland Company.

Denver, July 15.-The case Of the
Rio Grnnde Railroad VIZ. the Colorado
Midland, which has occupied the ut
tentIon of the United States Court
since' last Monday was yesterday de-
clded by Associate Justice Brewer In
favor of the Rio Grande, Judge Henry
G. Caldwell of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals assisting.
The cnse was the outcome OF the ac-
cident at New Castle lnst September
in which forty lives were lost and
property valued at many thousands OF
dollars destroyed.
The verbal opinion of John II. Knae-
Del, special master In chancery, np-
pointed by the court to take the testi-
mony and consider the evidence on
both sides, was sustained.
The argument of the Midland that 1t
was not singly, but Jointly, liable Mt
the time the accident occurred was
found not to be tennble. Although
each road paid the agent and had n
superintendent, these officials had only
the care of trains and the lease en-
tered into for the joint use of the track
covered simply the physical structure
according to the ruling OF the court.
From the evidence given 1t was
culpable in trying to reach New Cas-
tie ahead of time. whereas they should
have waited mt the regular point for
the westbound Rio Grande train.
The trainmen We're In the pay Of and
liable to discharge by their Individual
companies, although joint superin-
tendent was employed.
1t was decreed that the masters re-
port be submitted to the attorneys on
both sides, who may come before the
court and submit any desired changes
OF phraseology to which they are en-
titled.

whent Crop In San Luis Valley.

j.. T. Jeffery. president of the Den
rev Il Rio Grande railroad, has re-
turned from n trip over the narrow
gauge lines in southern Colorado. and
lie says that all crops In the farming
sections of the lower half of the state
look better than he has ever seen them
before during his residence of seven
years liz Colorado.
"Thera will probably be twenty-five
per ceps. more wheat harvested in the
san Luis valley this year than last"
snid he, "and 1897 was the banner
wheat gear. The hay, alfalfa and oats
also promise well. In the valley Of the
Animas river and in the Pennington
district. which is tributary to Durango,
although situated in New iTexico, the
prospects are very good.
"MCutezuma and Dolores valley are
equally encouraging in the crop out
look, and the Uncompahgre valley
from near Ouray up to Delta is beauti-
full and gives promise of plenty. There
Will he a very fine yield of fruit.
"The timely rains have kept fields
and orchards in good condition, SO that
there is no doubt in the minds of farm
ers about the water supply for trri.
gation being mple."-Dcnver Re-
publican.

panies. but it was decided that no risks
should be taken of having the prison.
ers half fed: that it would not be
worthy of this nation. and that this
government must undertake the prob
lem of rations.
A printed formula of the "Cuban ra-
ton" is upon the desks of those in
charge of the matter. and the calcula-
ton now is to furnish to the commits
sary OF each transport rations for 800
men daily for fifteen days. This is the
basis now of the food solution, and
Colonel Hcckner. before giving out the
proposals, is. with the cooperation and
counsel of General Eagan, first ad-
dressing himself to this part Of the
problem.
Surgeon General Sternbcrg said to-
day to me that, of course, not one of
these prisoners, sick or threatened with
fever, would be allowed to go aboard
the transports. Though not admitted
by General Sternberg. 1t was feared in
some quarters that yellow fever might
break ont among the prisoners after
they had sailed. General Sternberg,
however, will enforce In this case the
same system of scientific precaution
that is applied to the United States
troops.

FUTILE CONFERENCE.
Coal Miners Cannot Agree with Their
Employer

Lafayette, Colo, July IA commit
tee Of miners representing the Northern
Colorado coal district met here to-day
with James Cannon, president of the
Northern Ccal Company, and the ses-
sion lasted throughout the day.
The conference was harmonious In
every way, but resulted In nothing sat
isfactory. neither side being willing to
accept the proposition made by the
other. The company offered forty
cents per ton for mining, while the
men demanded forty-twO and half
cents per ton for room work and forty
seven and, n half cents per ton for pill
lar work. Both propositions involved
n forty per cent. allowance In weight
for slack. That is, the miners would
be paid on n bisis of sixty per cent. Of
the weight of the coal actually mined.
When the men quit work they were on
ly obliged to deduct thirty-three and a
third per cent. In weight for slack.
A member of the committee said to-
day that the miners would not accept
anything less than the prices named by
them, and that the men hoped to be
able to continue the strike indefinitely,
rs they are expecting help from other
unions. They believe their demands
are reasonable, and feel sure of sue
cess.
When the miners went out they mum.
bered $50 men, but Of these only about
500 men now remain, the balance hav.
Ing left to seek employment else
where.

GENERAL OTIS SAILS.
Tho Rest of the Transports Will Sail
Soon.

San Francisco, July 15.-Shortly af-
ter 3 o'clock this afternoon Major Gen
eral Otis, from his flagship. the City of
Puebla, signaled the transport Peru
TO get under way. The signals We're
understood by the anxious watchers on
shore and by those in small boats, and
were received with great cheering.
Major General Otis and STAFF have
their headquarters on the City of Pu-
ebla, which also carried the remaining
companies of the Fourteenth United
States infantry. recruits for the First,
and second battalions of the Eighteenth
and Twenty-third regiments, enlisted
men of the First North Dakota, First
Wyoming and First Idaho, medical Of
ficers and members of the hospital
corps, total of S43 men.
The troops to go on the Peru consist
of n squadron of the Fourth United
States cavalry, light batteries of the
Sixth United States artillery, detach-
ment of the Signal Corps under Cap
tain Russell, detachment of volun-
teers, medical officers and members of
the hospital corps, about 920 men.
The last orders of General Otis be-
fore leaving We're that the remaining
transports should sail as soon as pos
SlDle, irrespective OF meets or other eN-
pected vessels. Each one, he said,
should go by itself, if necessary. Sur
prisingly quick work has been done on
the Pennsylvania and City of Rio
Jnneiro. They are both nearly ready
and will probably be prepared to sail
by next Thursday. The loading of the
commissary stores on these two vessels
began to-day.
Grigadier General II. G. Otis has
finally been selected to command the
fifth expedition to Manila. His fleet
will consist of the steamers Rio de
Janeiro, st. Paul and Pennsylvania
The steamer st. Paul is due from ST.
Michaels, and should no delay in her
arrival occur she can be made ready
for Manila in Il short time. Among
the other officers to go on this eXpe-
dition will be Major Rubin, chief quar-
termaster, and Lieutenant Colonel
Whipple, chief ordnance officer.
The War Department has instructed
General Otis to relieve the First Utah
cavalry from the expected duty in the
Philippines and to transfer the troop
to the department of Major General
Merriam. No reason is given for the
change, and now the Utah troopers are
among the disappointed slory-seekers
They may be sent to the Yosemite to
do guard duty there.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1898-07-21

Later estimates of the amount of
gold brought down by the steamer st.
Paul from the Klondike make the to-
tai much larger than at first reported.
Joseph Lebick of New York City, who
has lived five years in Alaska, and
himself has about $4,000 in dust, de-
clarea that the Alaskan Commercial
Company shipped not less than five
millions from st. Michaels. Other re-
tiring miners substantiate this state
ment. The officers of the company
could not be seen tonight, but the CON
sensus of opinion among the Kiondik-
ers is that the trading corporation has
secured the greater part of the precious
metal mined this season.

SOLDIERS LETTERS DELAYED.
English Laws In Jamaica Require Extra
Postage.


The American soldiers in Cuba are
having great difficulty in getting their
letters through to the United States.
Thousands of letters are brought to
Jamaica by the government dispatch
boats, but only for the generosity and
Snyder at this port very few of them
would get through. The British postal
laws require that all letters sent out
from here must not only pass through
Port Antonio postOtfice, but must have
the Pamaica-English stamps, which
costs 5 cents. Most of the letters COM
ing in here have the United States
stamp, but that goes for nothing. Nor
will the authorities here allow any
ship to take the letters to an American
port unless they bear the jamaica
English stamp.
The result of it all is that the large
bags and bundles of soldiers letters
are taken to Consul Snyder, and from
his own pocket he pays the Jamaica
postage and sends them on to Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York or Bos-
ton via one of the Boston Fruit Com
pany'S steamers.
Since the troops landed in Cuba post
age on soldiers letters have cost Mr..
Snyder more than his salary. The pos
tai authorities ut Washington have
been appealed to, and it is probable
that some adjustment of the matter
will be made.
1t is interesting to look through n
large bagful of soldiers letters as they
come from the fleet, and the Cuban
stamps. At least two-thirds of the
missives are addressed to Miss or
misses" perhaps the greater number
n n
both the mothers and wives. Many of
the letters bear no stamp, but are
simply marked Soldiers letter" or
"Ship's letter"
In the United States letters so
marked coming from a military camp
or from n ship would be carried to
their destination, the receiver being re-
quired to pay the postage. But this is
not the case in Jamaica. The laws
here will not even permit an American
boat to take letters in bulk to an
American port unless the full Jnmai-
can postage has been paid. Many of
the letters are addressed with lead
pencil, and now and then one finds a
little word tackled on that tells some
thing of what the contents of the let
ter must be. Frequently the words,
"To my beloved wife" or ITO my dear
mother" are seen on the envelope. Per-
haps there may be the symptoms of
just n tinge of homesickness in this,
but more than all it shows the close
ness of the American soldier to the
American home.
Occasionally on the envelope is some
thing of the artistic. One envelope ad-
dressed 'to dear old mother in Ari-
zona" had beautiful miniature of the
landing of the troops. Another had
drawn In one corner n pencil sketch Of
cottage in Massachusetts to which
the letter was to go.

CROP PROSPECTS
The Outlook in Colorado Never Better
Than at Present.


The weekly crop bulletin, issued on
the 18th by the Colorado bureau of
the climate and crop service, Is as
follows:
The past week has averaged warm
or than usual. except over the south
eastern part of the state and the east
rrn border counties. where the tem-
perature has been practically normal.
Nearer the mountains and north of
the Arkansas-Platte divide the excess
has averaged only one or two degrees.
but on the western slope 1t amounted
10 three or four degrees n day. Show
cry weather has been n feature of the
week east of the Continental divide,
but the precipitation has been light
except over Cheyenne and Kit Carson
counties, the south-central section,
and San Luis park. Threatening
weather is reported from the western
slope. with only light and scattered
showers.
Warm nights without excessive
heat during the day, combined with
increased humidity, have been ex-
cecdingly favorable and have caused
vegetation of all kinds to make rapid
progress. Wheat is heading in San
Luis park. where, as n rule, the crop
gives promise of being even better
than last year. Harvesting is still in
progress in the Arkansas valley, and
will soon begin in the eastern conn
ties. Corn has improved in color and
Is making splendid growth. Potatoes
have been greatly benefited by the
showers. and the reports Indicate n
favorable outlook for this crop in the
southern as well as the northern sec
tions. Alfalfa is making satisfactory
growth, but in some sections cutting
and stacking have been delayed by
most ideal for the fruit industry,
Cherries. raspberries, currants and
Sooseberries are being marketed. In
Alontrose county early apples are be-
ginning to show color. and early va
rieties of pears are nearly full size.
Some damage from hail is reported
from the north-central section.

TOTAL CASUALTIES IN CUBA,

Killed @16. Wounded 1,5s4. Missing 81.
General Shafter's Headquarters July
10. via Kingston, Jamaica, July 10,
3:30 p. m.-The final report of casual
ties in the army since it landed in
Cuba three weeks ago has been for
warded to Washington. 1t shows an
aggregate of 1,911 officers and men
killed, wounded and missing. The
killed number 246. of whom twenty
one were officers; wounded. 1854, of
whom nlnety-eight were officers, and
missing, eighty-four. of whom none
were officers. OF the wounded only
eighty-eight have died.
Colonel Pope. the surgeon-in- chief.
says this is n remarkably small num-
Der of fatalities, considering the large
number of wounded.
In the field hospitals there have
been remarkably small number of
septic wounds and but two cases of
gangrene have developed, one of which
resulted fatally.
