EMPORIUM PA. THURSDAY, MARCH g. 1899
Pennsylvania Pensioners.

War veterans will be interested in a
bill presented by Captain Skinner, of
Fulton, directing the auditor general
to place on the states pension roll, on
proper application, the name of any
honorably discharged officer, soldier,
sailor or marine now residing in Penn
sylvania, who volunteered for at least
nine months in the army or navy be-
tween April IA, 1861 and May 1, 1865,
who was at the time of enlistment a
resident of and credited to this state,
and who is not an inmate of soldiers
home, State or National, nor United
States pensioner. The pension shall
be at the rate of one cent per day for
each day served i'll the war, payable
on the first Wednesday of January,
April, July and October. The pension
bill shall not be payable to any person
of gross Incorporate habits, but his
certificate may be payable to his wife
or tue guardian of his children under
eighteen years Of age. Any attorney
or agent prosecuting Il claim under
this act, and demanding or receiving
more than ten dollars fee, shall be liza
BILE to fire of $50 for the first offense
and for any subsequent offense 500 or
three months Imprisonment. All such
pensions are to cease when Congress
shall pension this class Of soldiers. A
preamble to the bill argues that an act
of 1898 granted gratuity of forty dol
lars, and an annuity of ten dollars a
month to soldiers who served two
months or more in the war of 1912, or
to their widows and similar pension
was granted for service of less than
two months in cases of such soldiers
who were wounded.

Big Railroad Deal.

While in Ridgway last Saturday we
heard considerable talk about the sale
of the Buffalo & st. Marys R. r., to-
gether with the mining interests of
Hall, Kaul & Co. The following from
the Rtdgway Star, we clip:
GA deal, which in its magnitude and
the snount of money involved, has
perhaps never been eclipsed in Elk
county has Just been consummated,
and the evening Star to day is able to
give to the outside world the first
authentic and reliable information con-
cerning the same. The property in
question is the Buffalo, St. Marys and
Southwestern r. r., and the Shawmut
Coal Mining plants, which have been
sold by the Hall-Kaul interests to a
syndicate of New York city capitalists
whose expressed intentions mean one
of the biggest booms that has struck
this section in some time. The rail
road property, of course, is the one in
which the public is most interested,
but at the same time it is understood
that the new proprietors propose to
very materially increase the output of
the mines and further develop the
country through which the railroad
runs, to a very large extent. The most
persistent of the rumOrs, however, is
to the effect that the road will be ex-
tended at once from Shawmut to
Brookville, and other points in Jetfer-
son county, and that q large amount
Of the coal land through which the eX-
tension will pass is to be developed,
and that the road will ultimately con
meet with aroad in Western New York,
thus reaching the Buffalo market and
the lakes. While no one supposes for
a moment that the New York bankers
have gone into the railroad business in
any other way than as purchasing
ager is for some one of the big trunk
lines, the all absorbing question is how
soon will Elk county be a part of the
territory to be traversed by a railroad
system, which will constitute q promi-
nent competitor for the business of
this section.

"The Gang invaded the residence

The occasion of the call was to assist

birthday. "The Gang" certainly did
have a good time. After firing out
their welcome they then paid Mrs. r.
Warner visit and aided her in duly
celebrating her 69th anniversary.
This good lady took pity on them and
asked the small (?) eaters to remain
for the balance of the day and evening
and it was the wish of her host of
friends that she might live to celebrate
many similar occasions.
