Sudden Death.


Judge and Mrs. Geo. j. LaBar were
called to Shickshinny, Pa, last Fri
day upon telegram announcing the
sudden death of Mrs. LaBar's youngest
brother, Mr.. Harrison Kester, aged So
years. The cause of the death was due
to heart failure from freight. Deceas-
eds nephew was killed at mine and
the news was reported to him that it
was his own son. The shock was too
great and he dropped dead while at his
work. Deceased had planned a visit
to Emporium this week and had the
transportation in his pocket for the
trip.
We clip the following from the
Shickshinny Echo:
The sudden death of Harrison Kes.
ter on Wednesday afternoon is great
shock to his family and friends. Mr..
Kester was watchman for the Lacka-
wanna railroad at the bridge crossing.
Miners returning from work informed
him of the accident which caused the
death of Ray VanHorn. He was very
much affected by the sad news and a
few minutes later he was found lying
outside his shanty. Medical aid was
promptly su mmoned but upon exami.
nation it was found that he was dead.
The excitement due to the accident
is believed to have brought on heart
failure, which was the cause of his
death. Mr.. Kester was 81 years old.
He lived at Koonsville until two years
ago when he purchased S. B. Adkins
property on Butler street and moved
to town.
Mr. Kester had a good word for
everybody and was justly popular with
all classes. He was member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and was
one of the most regular attendants at
the services. His daily life was such
that he had nothing to fear from the
coming of such sudden summons
The members surviving Mr.. Kes-
ster and his wife and three sons:
Charles, the eldest son holds respon.
sible position with the Philadelphia
electric company. The two remaining
sons, Milliard and Bryan reside in
Shickshinny. There are two sisters
Mrs. Susan Baer, of Reybern, and Mrs
M. G. LaBar, of Emporium. The
brothers are Jacob Kester, OF Wilkes.
Barre, John Kester. of Koonsville and
Q. M. Kester, of Shickshinny,
The funeral services will be held at
the M. E. church on Sunday morning
at 10 O'Clock, and will be conducted by
DIR Miller Shickshinny Lodge of Odd
Fellows, of which the deceased was a
member, will attend in body.

"Sausages and Rat Traps.

Rather peculiar combination and
rather suggestive one, but it is ouly
in the play. One of the eccentric an d
amusing characters ever seen on the
stage is Moses Vopps, German vendor
of the hot ''sisage", in the melodrama
"New York Day by Day." which will
be the attraction at the Emporium
Opera House, on Friday evening, Nov.
30th. Vopps has a variety of adven-
lures and misfortune while engaged in
selling his wares on the street corners
ofNew York, some of which are due to
some to the mischievous imps of street
urchine who delight in tormenting
him. At last, in despair, he abandons
the hot sausage business and becomes
peddler of rat traps. The author
omits to tell whether Vopps resumes
the manufacture and sale of sausages
after a sufficient number of rats have
been secured.

Close Call.

Geo. Metzger, Jr., met with an acci-
dent last Saturday that might have
proven fatal. While assisting in the
removal of concrete block weighing
about 1900 pounds, the huge slab got
away from all hands. Mr. Metzger
had the misfortune to get caught, his
right arm and side being seriously in
jured. Had it not been for the prop
ping blocks, that protected him, he
possibly would have been badly in
iured. AS it was he was confined to
his home for some days.
