Painfully Injured.

Chas. Jones, who resides on Portage
street, met with an accident last Satur-
day that at the time seemed triflle, out
now is causing him great pain and
anxiety. While visiting in F. d. Leet's
law office he picked up an old revolver
and while handling the gun it dis
charged, the ball entering the left
hand, between the joints. DR.. Bush
was called and probed for the small
ball but thus far has failed to locate it,
the X-ray even proven frnitless. The
DIR. informs us that he does not consid-
er the gentleman in danger of further
complication, even should the hall not
be fund. We hope our friend may re-
cover from the injury promptly.

Schuylklll county, who is manager of

Sunday evening after enjoying a hunt
ing outing at Scamp Hemlock" on
Clear Creek, with jolly party of EN-
porium's mighty hunter-Jas Wright,
Chas. Cummings, F. F. Hilliker and
others. Everybody had an enjoyable
time and Mr.. Miller left with a good
impression of Cameron county and her
citizens. Mr.. Miller is genial, whole
souled gentleman and makes friends
where ever he goes. While here he
met two old-time friends-J. F. Sulli
van, of Huntley, and Ex-County Treas
urer Cummings. For several years Mr..
Miller Miller was Station Agent at
Delano, for Lehign Valley r. R., and
later paymaster on the Mahanoy and
Hazelton Division and during that time
Mr.. Sullivan was his assistant. He
called up j. F. s., on wire last Sunday
and he came up Oh evening train ac-
companied by his wife to meet him.
Mr. Miller and Mr.. Cummings were
school mates. Mr.. Sullivan who is the
PRESS correspondent at Huntley, says
it sounded like old times when he call
ed up J. F. S. on the wire. Mr.. Miller
retired from railroad business about
two years ago and took up the powder
business which he is handling success
fully.

ture, which is evid, ice of the high
esteem in which he vas held by the
citizens of Cameron COZ nty
For five years he superintended the
extensive lumber interests of Mr..
Goodyear, and was associated for some
time also with other gentlemen in the
lumber business. In the year 1856 he
engaged in the pharmacy business
in Emporium, continuing in the same
without interruption to the end of his
life.
One very commendable habit of his
life was to promptly take care ofhis
creditors. was told by business man
Of the town that Mr.. Taggart paid his
bills every Monday morning.
But while our friend was q patriot,
an honored citizen and careful and
systematic business man, he was not SO
wholly absorbed with the things of the
world as to have neglected interests of
higher character. Along with all
other duties he tried to do his duty to
God by living a religious life. When Il
young man he connected himself with
the Presbyterian church and continued
faithful member. In his church he
occupied for many years the RESPONSE
BILE position of Sunday school superin-
tendent. AT the last communion ser
vice conducted by brother Johnston,
possibly two months since, he with
members of his family, received the
emblems commemorative of our dying
Lord.
In the year 1872 he was married to
Helen M. Cole of Jersey Shore, and to
this union were born three children
George Cole; Mrs. Byrd Leona Deike;
and Miss Flossie Faye; all of whom
with four grandchildren are with us
to-day.
Around the dying bed of our brother
were gathered, wife, son and daughters
on last Friday, just after the meridian
of the day, when the live ebbed away
and the spirit took its departure to the
spirit world. All these witnessed the
peaceful departure of this man of God
the departure of faithful husband a
kind and loving father.
God bless and sustain all these be-
reaved ones and at last bring all home
to be reunited in our Fathers house in
heaven"
Miss Grace Lloyd very sweetly sang a solo,
which was rendered very beautifully and i'm
pressivey.
The following relatives and friends from out of
town were in attendance: Mr.. and Mrs. (daugh-
teri eike, Kittaning, Pa; Mr.. Clarence VANS
ley, (nephew), Mrs. Flora Ryan, (sister), Mrs.
allie Wamsley (sister), Ridgway; Mrs. Van
Slyck, niece, Shinge House, Mrs. Loomis

the hardware and plumbing business
in Harrisburg, while Mr.. Wandress is "A
commercial traveller. All three gentle
men are bright good fellows-such as

as they did here and promise to return
here next season for their outing
Hon. Josiah Howard and Mr. Henry
Auchu sent E. l.. Mason out with them
