MARY VROOMAN, DEAD.
Was Daughter OF Rev. John Vr0oman,
Former Pastor of M. E. Church in
This Place,
LIVED HERE DURING YEARS lSS7.SS.S9.

From the Cameron County
Press, published at Emporiu I'm,
Pa, we learn of the death of Miss
Mary, daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
John Vrooma \. Rev. Vrooman
was pastor fthe NJ. e. church of
this place during the years 1887,
'SS and part of 80, aud Mary,
who was bright little girl of
twelve years when they moved
away, Is lovingly remem bered by
her many friends here, who ex-
tend to the stricken parents the
tenderest sympathy. Mr.. Vroo-
man was pastor at Mercersburg
and only left that charge for his
present one last spring. OF her
death the Press says:
'"The death of Mary, the only
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. John
Vrooman, of Keatlng Summit, Fri
day, Sept. 1st, though not unex.
pected, is sad blow to her fam
lily and in wider sense, to the
entire community IN which she
lived and where she was held In
the highest esteem. Deceased
was but 2S years OF age, and
though never physically strong,
for ten years, taught music with
marked success, and had been a
constant and valuable helper to
her father in the several pastor
ates that he has held. After the
assignment of Mr.. Vrooman to
Keating Summit, last spring, she
grew gradually worse, her disease
being paralysis, and although she
was taken to Buffalo hospital
for treatment in the hope of re-
lief, it was without avail. The
remains was taken to Schuyler
vile, N. y, Cor burial. "

you after all. 1t was only few

been an abatement of the disease
during the heated season, but
now it is breaking out with re-
doubled fury in Blair county. If
every man woman and child in
Fulton county were successfully
vaccinated, we might go all sad
without the slightest fear OF an
epidemic. The cost Of vaccin-
alton is a trlhe when compared
with small pox breaking out in

happened to run up against Con.

But it happened that the justice
had gone down street, and the

down to await the Justices re-.

Only a few minutes elapsed un.
til Lon, becoming impatient at
the delay, ducked the officers and
with his hat IN his hand broke
down the hill at a 2.25t gait
When he had almost reached Wa

calmly told him to hurry up to
the Office that he was wanted
badly.
Lon then started in the direc-
tion of his home, but decided af-
ter getting we'll out of town, to
return and finish his painting job.
Here's where he made his mis-.
take, for when he had returned
to the neighborhood of the post
office, he ran afoul of Nick Roett-

Constable Fields. The pair start.

Prior to 1884, all boroughs were

ed an Act was passed empower
ing the courts of quarter ses.

three hundred inhabitants. On
April 3, 1851, general law'was
passed regulating boroughs, and
empowering the courts OF quar-

often, 1t is difficult to tell what

placed upon them. Almostall of
the boroughs in the State have
accepted the provisions of the

relating to boroughs passed

The Transvaal appears to be just now
the black sheep Of the British South African
colonial family, family which Is far from
q happy one ON many accounts. Natal
in particular Is kicking vigorously against
the exclusiveness Of the policy Of the Trans
vaal administration, which favors the
foreign port Of Delagoa Bay to the pref
udioe Of Nstal's port Of Durham. Natal,
unlike Cape Colony, allowed tho Chinese
coolies for the Rand mines to land and
pass through its territory, and In return
the Rand mine owners import all the sup
plies for their coolie compounds through
the Portuguese port. The Natal Witnsss
goes 80 far a. to say that the Transvaal
ways and methods are smothering the
British instinct Of fair play and sense Of
patriotism, and that there 10 less friendli-
ness shown by the Transvaal to the rest Of
South Africa now than when It was under
the Beers. The commercial depression
throughout South Africa, 1t says. has not
been hghtened by q hairs weight, for all
the Chinese that have been imported; and
It calls on the Natal Government to assert
It's independence Of Transvaal favors and
demand its just rights in regard to COM
mercial and railway matters. Tho difi-
culties that have arisen II would rather
have settled amicably on the spot and not
referred to the Imperial Government.
