Amputation Necessary. .

1t is with keen regret that we an
nounce the result of the serious acci-
dent to Mr.. d. H. Lamb, an account
ofwhich was given in these columns last
week. Accompanied by his wife and
DIR. ]. G. Steele, Mr.. Lamb left for DR..
Parks hospital at Buffalo Friday after
noon he stood the journey fairly well
and on Saturday morning although it
was vainly hoped that the injured arm
might be saved, amputation was fonnd
necessary and the arm was taken off
about three inches above the elbow
He passed through the operation
nicely, and although he has a high
fever, is quite nervous and suffers con
siderable PAIN, he is getting along as
we'll as can be expected.
Mr.. Lamb has hosts of sympathizing
friends in Galeton who sincerely hope
the worst is now over, and trust his re-
covery may be speedy one.-Galeton

very mysterious circumstances. Tho
Ridgway Advocate says that she had
gone out from home Wednesday morn
ing to pick wild Strawberries, but did
notreturn when expected, and search

been hit by train, but her bucket was
found upright and filled with berries,

John PeeIing Killed.

John Peeling, the 10 year old son of
our respected townspeople, Mr. and
Mrs. A. A. Peeling, met with sudden
death while working on B. & S. log
train at Cowley Run Junction on
Wednesday night. Less than two
weeks ago John left here full of life
and vigor. physically able to cope with
the hardships of life. He found employ
ment on 3. &. S. log train where he
was gaining the confidence of his
superiors as a careful, trusty man. At
Cowley Run Junction Wednesday
evening he stepped between the cars of
a motionless, yet heavily loaded train,
to in some way arrange the brakes
when the slack in the couplings gave
way and the logs which protruded over
the cars caught his back and chest
and giant though he was in strength,
his life light went out as a candle be-
fore gale The body was brought
here to-day and was taken to the home
of his parents on Brooklyn side. He
leaves besides his aged father and
mother, four brothers and four sisters
namely. Thomas of Heating Summit,
Charles of Newert, Frank OF Empori-

FATALLY INJURED
Michael Zimmitt, Carpenter, Falls
From ScaffoId, Breaking His Back.

Yesterday afternoon about three
o'clock, Michael Zimmitt, carpenter
in the employ of contractor Kriner,
fell from a scaffold at Frank Shives'
new residence, distance of twenty
three feet, breaking his back. He was
removed to the home of his daughter,
Mrs. ]. A. Kinsler, and Drs. DeLong
and Bardwell called, who pronounced
the injury fatal.
Mr.. Emmett, who owns and works q
farm in Plank Road Hollow, at the
same time following his occupation of
carpenter, has resided here many years
and is one of our hard working, hon.
est citizens. His death is only a ques-
tion of little time. Mr.. Zimmitt has
worked upon the largest buildings in
town and always exercised the great
est care. 1t is a mystery that he
should stand upon a slim board that
would not carry boy, much less a
man. We in common with our people,
deeply deplore this accident to one
who has always labored SO faithfully
to procure home and rear his family.

THE CHAMPION
MIXED PAINT

Sold by l.. TAGGART has no
superior.
Fourteen years ago I painted my
house with these paints and am now,
or the first time since, repainting it.
II. L. Smith, the painter, says he never
knew of a house in better condition
for painting after having stood so long.
A gentleman, whose name l will not
MENTION living in our town, painted
his house thirteen years ago, with
these paints and he has engaged some
paints to repaint, saying that he would
have no other.
DIR. Heilman will also testify as to
the merits of fthese paints. County jail
painted four years ago. John Lind's
two houses painted two years ago and
many others, all speak for the virtue
and staying qualities of these paints,
and is better evidence than any mans
word. Look at them; then buy the
Champion paints and paint your house
and be happy.
Also paper your house wit i the ele-
CANT wall paper at Taggart's and be
doubly happy.

BIumle and the Truth.

Harrisburg Telegraph.
Woe to the human race that a wind
having it's origin in Cameron county
can whelm the land and make any
body tired! Herr Blumle is loose again.
Gusts of vocables and cataclysms of
rhetoric in Emporium threaten to dis.
turb the State with a vast upheaval-
perhaps of mirth. In addition, Herr
Blumle, for some reason named Fran
els Xavier, has painted his face, thrown
the belt off the wheels of the machine
for the encouragement of fecundity
and began ghost Ounce in clogs hav-
ing for one of its purposes a stealthy
attack upon the integrity of the Teie-
graph. This gentlemen who would be
the father of fecundity prizes and the
foster father of the entire population of
Cameron county, said in recent is
sue of the East Emporium Independ-
ent, while speaking of Mr.. Mullin,
the man who got Blumle's place in
the Legislature when Blumle was un-
seated:
Mullin wrote the slurs that appear
ed in the Harrisburg Telegraph him
self and paid for them, too 1t was
one of his regular daily trips to the
office on Third street, where he spent
more time than he did in his own of
fee in Emporium. ..A.-
The winds that moan through the
physical development above Mr..
Blumle's shoulders probably got the
putative Representatives. facts mixed,
but with these trifiing exceptions they
are correct:
1. Mr.. Mullin did not spend more
time in the Telegraph Office than he
did in his Office in Emporium.
2. Mr.. Mullin never spent any time
in the Telegraph Office during the
last session of the Legislature.
8. Mr.. Mullin did not write any
thing for the Telegraph.
4. Mr.. Mullin did not cause any
thing to be written for the Telegraph.
5. Mr.. Mullin did not bring, send or
procure the sending of any written
thing for the Telegraph.
6. The editorial columns of the
Telegraph are not and never were at
the disposal of Mr.. Mullin.
7. The editorial columns of the
Telegraph are not for sale.
s. Neither Mr.. Mullin nor any
other men or set Of men can buy the
editorial columns of the Telegraph.
9. We do not know and will not ask
anybody to tell us what is meant by:
''It was one of his daily trips to the
Office on Third street." This sounds
like watchword of the Society for
the Encouragement of Frequent
Births, and it's meaning may not be
proper for publication.
Many men might say that Blumle
is an exaggerator and an arch enemy
of the truth. We slur no man. We
say that Mr.. Blumle is such a friend
of truth that he takes liberties with il
in comparison with which the great
est license of the press is but a pecca
dillo.

The Big Circus Came.

Robinson's combined shows arrived
in Emporium some time Sunday night,
having cancelled the Renovo date, and
| enjoyed one day resting here. The
5l2 employees enjoyed their vacation
in very orderly manner, in face of
the fact that they received their pay
for the week. Many crowded to the
postoffice to send money to their
homes, while others crowded our stores,
making needed purchases. Tuesday
was a fair day and an immense crowd,
coming on the railroads and by con-
veyance. The great parade, gorge
Gus affair, was all that could be wished
for. The afternoon performance was
attended by over two thousand per-
sons and the reputation of John Rob-
inson for producing what he advertis-
ed was fully maintained. The OPEN
ing spectacle "King Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba," while not up to that
presented here two years ago, was
very ,eautiful and pleasing feature.
The trained sea lions, the best number
on the program was the wonder of the
performance. 1t seems increditable
that they should perform with balls,
balancing them on the tips of their
nose. In one instance one of those
Shiny animals crawled up step ladder
at the same v.ne balancing large ball.
Their performance was wonderful as
well as sensational. 1t would require
more space than we have to give full
count of this great circus. One
especially we desire to mention-that
of the slack wire performance who per
formed score of miraculous feats.
''Looping the loop" caused many to
close their eyes whilst the young color
cd lad made his lightning trip. The
vast audience was kept busy watching
the numerous performers-as many as
eleven distinct acts being performed at
the same time. 1t was the largest cir
Gus and best performance ever in this
section and more than one cared to
watch at one time.
The menagerie was truly the best
collection of animals ever in this sec
tion. Rev. Speak, retired minister,
delivered lectures in front of the forty
cages and impaired much information.
The great three ring circus is evidently
reaching the top notch and our town
was very fortunate in having the op.
portunity of witnessing it.
Press Agent W. L. Wheeler was un-
firing in his efforts to make all feel at
home and found it no hardship to as
sist the ladies and children to get the
best view of the animals and point any
features he thought might please them.
He is valuable acquision to John
Robinson's honest show of clean per-
formance and orderly, sober men and
well behaved ladies-an army of
ladies and men and not an intoxicated
person was noticed during their two
days visit in Emporium. Mr.. Robin.

Old Remedy for Smallpox.

Now that this disease is prevalent in

writer In the Stockton Call Herald
gave a recipe which he said had been
used in hundreds OF cases, 10 his kno II

or cure smallpox, even though the pit
tings are filling; also. would cure scarlet
fever. We cannot speak knowingly ~
10 his remedy, but give 1t M he wrote 1t.
as follows:
"Sulphate OF zinc, one grain; foxglove

Of sugar. Mix with two tablespoonfule
Of water. When thoroughly mixed, add
four ounces OF water Take teaspoon
ful every hour. For child, smaller
