Meeting With Favor.

Hon. o. G. Allen, of Warren, for
years prominent in the State Senate,
has come out for the Congressional
nomination in his district, and will give
any antagonist some very hard work.
Senator Allen is staunch Republican,
and he generally gets what he goes for
in Warren county. He can carry the
district no matter who is nominated
against him, and there is every reason
to believe that the district will be rep
resented in the next Congress by a
Republican of the stalwart brand whose
name is Misunderstanding Telegraph.

Sinnema1oning Liars Club.

The Sinnemahoning Liars Club held
an interesting session last night at which
which all members were present except
Joe Summerson and William Hicks.
Uncle Jacob spun a good one on his ex-
perience as fox-trapper. He caught
four dogs, one fox and cot one toe of the
second fox all in trap.
The article from Mason Hill was read
before the club and commented upon.
Our talented representative in that dis
trict reported that Mason Hill could not
find material enough to procure a charter
for the Truth Telling Association with
out help from Driftwood. They refuse
to accept women in the Truth Telling
Association. We accept all women that
apply for membership in our club; they
act as side degree members, and as their
veracity is never questioned no organiza-
ton is complete without them. But
we think, Mr.. Ding, that you have made
great selection for president OF the

the arrival of a daughter at his house,
note of which was made on the minutes

he cant tell lie at present, his throat is
so sore he can hardly tell the truth.

EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 49, 1900.
Pleasant Occasion.

The reception and ball given at
Driftwood last evening was great
success and largely attended, being
the most popular ever held in Drift
wood. Large numbers attended from
from other towns, Emporium being
largely represented. To say that the
Driftwood ladies and gentlemen ex-
tended every courtesy to the Emporium
visitors would be mildly stating the
facts. We place the ladies first upon
this occasion for we honestly believe
the gentlemen were powerless to have
made the occasion such a fiattering sue
cess without the cooperation of the
ladies. We, as we'll as all other En-
poriumites who attended, hope we
may be able to repay the kindness, if
only in part, at some future date. AS
entertainers the Driftwood ladies and
gents are hard to excel.

Fireman Injured,

While P. & f. freight 81 was passing
through the Tunnel Hill bride, east of
Sterling Run, Tuesday morning, fire.
man William Graw leaned out Of the
window to watch some of the engines
machinery, when he was struck by the
bridge and thrown against the engine
tender, his clothes catching on the
large hook used to carry a pole or
large rope. In this position he was
dragged through the bridge, falling
onto the ties. His cries attracted the
attention of brakeman, the engineer
not having missed him, when the train
was stopped and the injured man
picked up. He was taken to Kane
Hospital, passing through Emporium
on Flyer, accompanied by his father,
who resides at Remove. 1t is feared
his injuries, which are internal, may
prove fatal. Mr.. Graw has a wife and
four children at Kane.
The night previous to his accident, it
is reported, he had a dream wherein
he saw himself dashed to death against
a bridge. He related his dream to his
relatives, who found him walking the
floor in great state of agitation.

An exchange says: 'It should be the
business of the secretary of every
organization to give the local paper

the others are dead"

Is HummeI InSane?

The Hummel case has taken on a
new phase. William Hummel, the ac-
cused murderer, has either gone in
sane by brooding over tie deed of
blood, or is shamming in order to es-
cope the penalty of the law, should he
be convicted. The commonwealth as
serts that Hummel is taking this
means of escaping the responsibility of
his crime. At any rate the prisoner
is acting queerly and says his memory
has suffered some astonishing lapses.
In fact, he has forgotten everything
unless it be that he is in the shadow of
the gallows. And the reason for this
sudden change he states is fall in
which he struck his head violently on
the floor. He was examined by the
Jail physician, who found several
marks on his forehead which look as
though they had been caused by a fall,
but as for HummePs mind being I'M
balanced, the man of medicine poo
hooed the idea.
There is just shadow of doubt aris-
ing as to whether or not Hummel will
be tried in March OF fcourse the COM
monwealth would fight to the last any
motion for continuance, but it is not
yet decided if such a motion will be
made. The defendants attorneys did
contemplate that move and on Satur-
day, Mr. Strictly appeared before
| Judge Mcclure and consulted him re-
garding it. His Honor, however, re-
fused hear the motion, on the ground
! that he was not to try the case, and it
is not known if any further steps will
be taken to have it brought before the
court. The defense wish the case con-
tinued because they claim that public
opinion is too highly wrought up to
insure an impartial trial and because
sufficient time has not been allowed
them in which to properly prepare
their ase.-Williamsport Bulletin.
