ment of the evening and hoping that

Cemetery Enlarged.

We were recently shown survey of
Wiley addition to Newton Cemetery
made by Geo. P. Jones, one of the best
draughtsmen in the country. The new
addition will give about $50 extra lots
for sale. What should be done to
guard against the future neglect is to
sell to an Association sufficient land
that will suffice for a long term of
years, thereby laying aside a fund to
beautify the "city of the dead" This
question has too long been neglected
and, it seems to us, that the present
plot should be many times larger.

Mason Hill Still on the Map.

o. B. Tanner of Mason Hill, was in
Emporium last Saturday and found
time to visit ye editor and after time
lowered himself into chair "Bert',
informs us that one of his best horses
met with an accident few days ago
by getting one of its feet into the
moving machine knife, cutting it's
foot seriously. He fears his horse is
ruined. The only news he could give
us was that potatoes look bad and his
apple and other fruit crop is failure
However, he says the bear crop seems
good. One day recently he spied a
monster black bear sitting "under the
old apple tree" but when he made for
his trusty rifle he noticed his bearship
was reading late edition of the bear
laws, stamped compliments of Hon.
Josiah Howard. Of course the bear
walked away to his neighbors garden
for something to eat and "Bert" had to
kill some chickens for dinner.

Boys Brigade Encampment.

The Boys Brigade Companies. com
prising companies from Ridgway, ST.
Marys and Emporium, numbering
about two hundred members, in charge
of Maj. Th. Bliss, Commander of Filth
Division assembled at Emporium,
Wednesday noon, preparatory to
marching to Encampmenta at Sizerville.
Upon arrival noon Flyer bringing the
Ridgway and st. Marys companies,
the several commands marched to En-

Maj. Bliss, Division Chaplain Radcliffe

Brigade Drum Corps, started on the
six mile tramp for Sizerville, arriving
there about five O'Clock, tired, dust
covered and hungry. After rest the
boys got busy putting their tents in
order for the night.
The mess tents are in charge of Geo.

perienced cooks, who with plenty of
provision will see that the boys have
plenty to eat.
Strict military rules govern the
camp, wholesome and substantial food

Camp w. HI. Howard is admirably
situated on the flat on Cauley Run,
near Robt. McDowell's farm, an ideal
spot for an Encampment. With plenty
of good spring water, excellent bath
ing and nice pure air the boys cannot
fail to have an enjoyable week.
Next Sabbath the Ridgway Cornet
Band will be present and give sacred
concert. No doubt large numbers of
people from Emporium and adjoining
town will daily visit the camp. The
boys are in good hands and their par
ents need not have fear but that they
will be carefully cared for
Ample accommodations for visitors
can be secured at Sizer Springs Hotel.

Bradford's Big Week.

Bradford's old home week is a howl

in the country are employed for
a solid week. Thousands of visitors
are there for the week. We notice

The extensive shipments of dyna
mite from the four large factories
three located at Emporium aud one at
Sinnamahoning-in this county, has
constrained the Penn'a r. r. officials
to use every effort to ensure safety in
the shipment of high explosives. To
that end the company during the past
week or more has been conducting
schools of instruction at several points
on P. & E. division. Last week, Thurs
day, Mr.. w. H. Rumberger, assistant
trainmaster of Remove, held confer
ence at the Emporium freight office
with Mr.. Thos. Gallagher, agent at
Emporium, who is acknowledged the
best authority regarding the shipment
of high explosives and is dubbed
"King Authority" in fact all hands
look to him for advice. The meeting
was attended by agent Baird and his
assistant of Sinnamahoning the track
former of this section, many of the
operators, yard conductors and brake
men and foreman of motive power, f.
L. Klock and his assistants. The at
tendance of the men closely connected
with this hazardously dangerous
freight were carefully and fully in
structed in the rules and regulations
laid down by the company, that acci
dents may be entirely avoided and the
state lews complied with. Similar
''schools of instruction. have been held
at all important points between Erie
and Remove. The public can rest as
sured that the many millions of pounds
of dynamite shipped annually from
this county will be guarded safely.

DANCING UPHELD.
Rev. DIR. Conwell Also Says
Church May Approve Cards.

Rev. DIR. Conwell Also SAYS
Church May Approve Cards.
CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, Aug. 1.--Church
approval of dancing was upheld here
to-day by Rev. Russell H. Conwell,
pastor of Grace Baptist Church, Phila-
delphia, and also president of Temple
College. Card playing was put on the
same basis. That the churches are
now half dead and will be forced to re-
turn to the older style of Methodist
camp meeting was another assertion.
Incidentally, DR.. Conwell, took rap
at professional higher criticism.
Dancing under the sanctum of the
church and playing cards by church
members are proper if the individual
church wishes to approve them" said
DR.. Conwell, provided only they do
not interfere with the main busin ess of
the church. The churches many of
them, are about half dead. Give me
back the old days when we shouted
amen in the old camp meetings. When
under excitement people were saved.
These times will come again. Some
educators think they can take the Bible
TO pieces as they do any book. They
can't. No unbeliever can criticize it,
for no one who does not believe in
it can understand it. They can't take
out sentence here and sentence
there and pick it to pieces. The Bible
must be taken as great whole into
which every sentence fits"

Evidently a Success.

The recent oiling of West Fourth
street for two blocks, from Maple to
Vine streets, appears to work we'll, in
fact the owners of property abutting
are delighted with the change. A
movement is now on foot to extend the
oiling farther along said street, at least
over that portion constructed by the
state. The state assumes portion of
the expense. This will answer until
such time the taxpayers are ready to
pave the street.

DEATHS DOINGS.
EN1zfg
CRANDELL.

Mr.. D. Z. Crandell, father of Bank
Teller Chas. E. Crandell, of this place,
died at Williamsport, Friday evening,
last, aged 20 years. The Williamsport
Bulletin says of the death and funeral:
"Mr. Crandell was born near Elmira,
N. Y, and was seventy-one years of
age on June 15. He came here in 1872,
and for some years conducted a groc-
cry business, erecting the block at
Fourth and Campbell streets, which he
later sold to Harry Rakestraw.
He is survived by a widow and the
following children: G. E. Crandell, of
Emporium; L. B. Crandell of this city,
and E. P. Derr of Spokane, Wash.
The funeral of the late d. E. Gran
dell was held on Monday afternoon
from his late residence 761 Grace
street. The services were in charge of
the Rev. Oliver G. Horseman, pastor
of the first Baptist church. The pail
bearers were: Warren Fisher, George
Steiger, William Linck and Logan
JdChbOAs InUCFu6uU WAS udu6 III
Wildwood.
Among the the out-of-town relatives
and friends present at the funeral were /
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles E. Crandell,
son, of Emporium; Mrs. N. J. Crandell,
of Montour Folls. Mrs. Brace, of North
Tonawanda, Pa"
The deceased visited Emporium
many times during the past few years
and met many of our citizens. He was
pleasant, genial gentleman and while
his death was not unexpected his de-
mise is deeply deplored. He belonged
to that old-school class of merchants
who quietly watched Williamsport
grow from the seed planted by himself
and others long ago. The bereaved
family, especially the devoted wife,.
are indeed entitled to our sympathy.
