Robbers Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Hemphill arrested
Alex. Keise and Henry Wolf, yesterday
on a warrant issued by Justice LARA
bee, on the charge of robbery. The
men had been employed on the section
at Howard Siding, and were discharg-
ed by section boss Martin Lawson.
They opened and robbed the trunks of
several of the other men who board
with Mr.. Lawson, taking a suit of
clothes anG hat from Lee Hopkins, coat
and vest from Martin Lawson, over
coat and pants from Gust Olson, and
shoes and rubbers from Pat Curren.
The arrest was made at the restaur-
ant of John D. Mcdonald, in the East
ward, and the stolen articles were
found in their possession. They were
given a hearing before Justice of the
Peace Larrabee, and in default of $500
bail, each, were lodged in Fort Swope
for trial at next criminal court.
There is no doubt but that Judge
Mayer will give them all that is COM
ing to them.

Councilman McNichols of Philadel-

Marshall to the speakership. McNich-
OILS was naturally feeling pretty good
over it, and the next day at dinner
time he took crowd of his friends to
the Commonwealth Hotel, which is the
insurgent headquarters. He seated
them around at the different tables,
laid the money he had won beside his
plate, and said in a voice that could be
heard all over the dining room: "Gen-
tlemen, order everything you want.
There is nothing too good for you.
Don't be afraid to take Mumm's. These
gentlemen over here (refering to the
anti-Quay leaders) are paying the bills.
1t isn't costing me cent. If any OF
you need a hundred or two besides,
help yourselves. These gentlemen
have money to burn" And McNichols
and his friends had great feast, all
the time commencing the generosity of
the gentlemen who sat at the other
tables looking glum, and failing to see
any humor in the sarcastic encomiums
of McNichols. Spirit.

Arrived From Philippines.

williamsport News.
Lieutenant Frank T. McNarney, of
this city, who has been in the volunteer
army in the Philippines for the past
two years, arrived at San Francisco on
Tuesday on the transport Sherman.
Lieutenant McNarney left here Sec
ond lieutenant of infantry and returns
a first lieutenant of cavalry. He was
wounded in action and returned to
duty after his wound healed. He was
one officer selected to command the
native scouts and became i'll while on
this duty. He was sent first to one
hospital then to another and was fin
ally told that he required sea voyage
to regain his health.
A board of officers recommended that
he be sent home to recuperate and he
was ordered to San Francisco, leaving
on the Sherman on Dec. Is and arriv-
ing at San Francisco Jan. 8. He is
now at the Preside awaiting orders.
He served as first sergeant in the
Tenth infantry in Cuba during the
Spanish war, and was one of the few
given honorable mention and certifi-
Gates for conspicuous bravery in the
battle of Santiago. With all his excel
lent record Lieutenant McNarney is as
modest as he is brave, and does not
like to talk about what he has done.

Queer Accident.

Last Sunday morning, when the Fly
or was coming along at lively rate
near Driftwood, a large four-inch
washer flew from one of the engine
drivers, striking under the baggage car
and bounding against the floor; from
there to the mountain side where it
struck rock, glancing back, smashing
a window in the smoker and dropped
into seat, where it was picked up by
Dick Reed, who handed it to the engin-
eer, and it was replaced by him at the
next stop. A queer freak.

1t is now understood that Rev. Father
OHern will not leave Drittwood as
stated last week. After looking over the
field he found that it would be imprac-
ticable for him to accept the pastorate
at Kersey as it would require German
priest to fill the position acceptably,
and so informed his bishop, who has
notified him to remain here until furth-
er notice. His many friends would be
pleased to have him remain here per-

More Trains Saws Rumor,

1t is said that the new schedule will
be put in effect on the Philadelphia and
Erie railroad about February 1st 1t is
further stated that when this schedule
goes into effect several additional pas
senger trains will be added to the SER
vice. There is to be second No. 4
east and a second No. west, of the
two sections each way one will be an
Erie train while the other will be a
Buffalo train. Besides these the "ca-
boose" committee says there will be a
day train each way. There is some
reason to believe that these rumors will
be verified in a short while as the
heavy traffic during the Pan American
Exposition on will necessitate much
additional train service. -. Remove

MasOnS Meet.

Arnold Chapter of Port Allegany
conferred all of the degrees of that
society on local "team" composed of
L. J. Renzor, w. III. Shaw and w. HI.
Glare, Wednesday afternoon and even
ing. Acting under dispensation SO to
do, for the Grand Chapter, the Mark
and Excellent degrees were conferred
at the afternoon session and the Royal
Arch degree at the evening session.
A floor team from Emporium was
present by special invitation and con-
ferred the degrees. They were the
following members of Emporium

Olean Chapter, $50, w. I. Lewis and
Fred @. Leonard, of Coudersport Chap
ter, No. 1853, and Rev, VIM. E. Hanson,
of Pierson Chapter, Crookston, MINI.
The work of the Emporium team is
accurate and its accuracy makes it es-
pecially impressive and the Reporter

ment of every member of the Chapter
here, expresses appreciation of the
visit of these brethren to Arnold Chap
ter on that occasion, and unites with
them in thanking the members of the
Emporium Chapter for the interest
they manifest in us. The banquet at
the Startwell House by Brother King
was one of the features that helped
make the occasion so pleasant. Nearly
two score of the brethren took supper
there. A new leaf ofacquaintanceship
has been turned between the two
lodges now that will result in better,
more extended affiliation. So mote it
it be.-Port Allegany Reporter.

office to which the people of this county
elected him last November. He has
the best wishes of all citizens for good
health and pleasant experiences during
his term. 1t is distinguishing honor
to be called to preside over the courts
of county like Tioga without partisan
strife at the election. In Judge Niles
case, when he shall have completed the
length of his term, he will have rounded
out most remarkable career in public
life extending over half a century.
The dignity and ability of the bench of
Tioga county, which has always been
of unusual excellence, will be fully
maintained under his administration
He enters upon his duties with the re-
spect, personal friendship and good
will of all the members of the bar and
the people generally. The Agitator
adds its congratulations and best wish
es for Judge Niles good health and
success. .-Wellsboro Agitator

MR.. PRESS EDITOR

MN. hfoo
The Independent had quite little to
say about me last week, whereas it no
doubt meant to argue for Electric
Light, yet it ought to know that no
one ever made his boy any better by
running down some one else.
The Borough Council last week by
vote of to decided to ask the people
to vote at this election as to whether
they would mortgage every house and
lot in town 81, 100000 more to borrow
money to build an electric light plant.
There are nine councilmen and four
of them voted for this question, but
only two thought 81, 100000 would build
the plant, while the other two who
voted for it because they understood
the people wanted the question pub
licly discussed, are themselves opposed
to bonding the town, believing that the
plant will cost more than twice the
S7,0OO.00 (Mr. Strayer putting the cost
at S16, 6,000.00) this would seem about
right judging from what we hear about
Watsontown, Dubois, Jersey Shore,
and Westfield.
Some one should get the exact figures
showing the cost of buildings, founda-
tions for engine and dynamo, with cost
of machinery and wire with the lamps.
The above mentioned towns have no
opposition and charge the people more
for their light than we have to pay for
gas, while our running expenses would
be just about the same.
The question should be thoroughly
discussed.
Personally 1 would prefer to pave
the square at the Warner House and a
driveway IA feet wide down to the
Junction.
Respectfully,
JOSIAH HOWARD.
Emporium, Pa, Jan. 10, 1901.
/ Judging from ''Tax Payers" remarks
in last weeks Independent he evident
! ly thinks that because the people of
Emporium got the benefit of few
good manufacturing establishments for
nothing that they ought to get every
thing for nothing, and that because the
people of the county have been in the
habit of going right up the side of a
mountain and climbing steep sidehills,
that they ought to continue right along
the same way without making any ef-
fort towards Improvement. He seems
to believe in always being back num-
ber. ~

Congratulations.

EdttOT FTes5:-
Please allow me space in your valu
able paper, as citizen, to extend con-
gratulations to the honorable gentle
men of our Borough Council in their
wisdom in placing before the voters
the matter of an electric light plant.
This is as it should be--left to the will
of the voters. No reasonable citizen
can dispute this right, and we have no
doubt but that the voters of this bor-
ough will use the right of franchise to
sustain the project by large majority,
and Emporium will enjoy what she has
long sought for-electric lights upon
her streets. Now is the time to pro-
cure it if ever, and surely the voters
will prove themselves worthy of the
opportunity given them by sound
headed council. Again we congratu-
late you gentlemen.

BRIEF nENTION.

The Odd Fellows have the largest
membership of any fraternal organiza-
tion in the United States. They num-
ber 9S5, ,2O6.
Oneevening last week certain party-
evidently expecting the family was alb
sent, boldly stepped up and took sack
OF flour from the front porch of G.. o.
Seaver's residence on Fifth street. The
family was at home however, and the
PRESS readers may be apprised of the
details in the matter if the flour or IFS
equivalent is not returned promptly.
An exchange says: "a boy can sit
still on sled six inches square. tied to
a sleigh moving eight miles an hour.
but couldn't sit on sofa five minutes
for dollar. A man will sit on an inch
board and talk politics for three hours:
put him in church pew for forty min
utes and he gets nervous, twists and
goes to sleep A man will fill his cheek
with filthy tobacco juice until it runs
down his chin, and feels good; but a
hair in the butter kills him."
A stationer is thus quoted in the
Philadelphia Record: Gust as the
Nineteenth Century brought the steel
pen in place of the quill, so will the
Twentieth Century see the typewritinp
machine take the eplace of the pen. The
effect is already very noticeable. Last
year we didn't sell half as MANY pens
as we did five years ago, and the de-
crease has been steady each year. Some
large business houses have a system of
keeping books with typewriting ma
chimes, and when this becomes simpH-
fed it is bound to be universal.
shouldn't be surprised to see the pen
manufacturers go out of business within
few years. Indeed, it is not beyond
the range of possibility that hundred
years from now, handwriting, if not
exactly regarded as a lost art, will be
at least looked upon as relic of anti
guilty, AID specimens of handwriting
will be treasured as curiosities.
The Hon. "Sandy" Boyne was a cor
dial caller at the Star Office to-day. He
was accorded the distinction last week
of having his picture in the North
Americans groupe at two different
times. The Democrats have proven a
great source of disappointment to As
semblyman Boyne and he is beginning
to appreciate the foregone conclusion
that fusion and compromising with the
opposition are of no avail. Several
prominent men, who were fusionists
during the contest last summer in this
district, have stated positively since
last Thursday that they will never sup
port fusion ticket again, but like every
true Republican, they will confine their
efforts of reform within the party's
lines. 1t is thrilling spectacle to see
Republicans trying to wreck their party
and Democrats stepping into the breach
thus preventing the crash and insuring
the prolonged success of stalwart Re-
publicanism. In order to secure politi-
cal reforms it has come to point where
the regular Republican party has been
compelled to defeat the "Reformers''
first.-Bradford Star.
