Mrs Chas. Camp of Weston and

visited Mr.. and Mrs. Will Camp at
SoneS Camp near Eagles Mere last
week. The ladies enjoyed their trip
but had a narrow escape from serious
injury and perhaps death. The
mills are located some two or three
miles from Eagles Mere. On their
return home the ladies thought to
save the walk by riding out to
Eagles Mere on the lumber cars.
They were riding on the second
car from the engine which tipped
completely over on its side of the
track. The engineer, Joseph Wells.
and his fireman, Shirsey Taylor,
jumped from the engine in time to
escape from the steam and so escaped
Others and perhaps fatal injuries
The ladies jumped from the cars
and aside from a general shaking up
were able to walk to Eagles Mere.
Samuel T. Ives died at his home
in Muncy, on Monday oflast week,
in the S0th year of his age. The de-
ceased, up until two weeks before
his death, enjoyed good health and
was very active for one of his age,
when he was stricken with catarrh-
al peritonitis, death soon following.
He was one of the most highly re-
Spected men of the community where
he lived. Mr.. Ives was the father
of the well known lumbermcn Ed
ward and Walter, and Miss Anna
Ives of IilIsgrove.
The first Quarterly Meeting of
this conference year will occur at the
Methodist Episcopal Church at
Forksville, November H. l3. Quar-
terly Conference will be held Satur-
day evening, and the regular Quar-
terly meeting services on Sunday
morning. Presiding Elder j. w.
Webb will have charge on both oc
casions.
1t is q stupendouS and over
whelming victory. There has been
nothing like its extraordinary and
magnificent proportions since the
Grant whirlwind over Greedy in
1872, and the popular maiorities are
far greater even than then. Presi-
dent Roosevelt carries every North
eIn state. He gains everywhere
over even 1900 and 1896. He wins
New York by $50, 600, and that high
water mark measures the rushing
tide from the Atlantic to the pacif-
| ic. There has been no such sweep
in any contested election in the his
tory of the country. High as were
Republican expectations this is as
tonishing in its monumental magni-
tude.
On this great tidal wave all the
lesser objects are tloated in. Con-
gress is only second in importance,
and it will show the largest Repub-
lican majority for many years.
