An Expert Fisherman.

Mr.. j. M. Olsen, of MADEIRA, came in
to Cameron on Tuesday, with the fin
est basket of trout caught on the
streams adjoining that place, catching
the limit within four hours. Being an
old-time salt water gentleman and fish
erman it seemed as though the big fish
all waited for his bait-at least he
caught them. He took home with him
a nice mess, to Clearfield county to
show what can be done when you know
how. He had several 21 inches long
and three that measured II inches
strong. He claims he could have done
better had there not been limit made
by law and the water had not been so
high. Where are such expert fisher
men as Frank Hoag and j. A. Dice 2

BIG FIRE in OUR
BUSINESS SECTION
A. McDoueall and j. HI.
DAYS Stores Damaged.

Last Saturday, about one O'Clock
noon, flames were discovered issuing
from the second story of j. H. Days
store, which soon spread to A. Nc
DougalPs store and residence. Had it
been windy day no doubt the flames
would have Tapped up the Taggart
block and the new Theatorium block,
recently erected by Frank Shives. AS
it was, the Shives block was damaged
several hundred dollars by smoke and
water and also the breaking of the sky
lights and destruction of the windows
and frames on West side of building.
Hard work saved the business portion
of both Days and McDougalPs stores,
no damage being done to the goods
water being carefully ''shot." Never
did our fire department work with bet
ter results, the water pressure being all
that could be desired. The damage
to the Day and McDougall stores are
estimated 81, 800; Shives' $500, also in
sured.
1t was very fortunate fire. Had it
occurred at night we should have
another story to tell.

The Penn Vitrified Brick plant re-
sumed active operations on Monday,
with bright prospects for the season.
Sixty men are now employed but Mr..
Walker informs the PRESS that inside
of three weeks he hopes to employ one
hundred men. This is good news to
our neighbors and we hope this popu-
lar brick, rapidly forging to the front
as the best paving brick on the market,
will be compelled to make their work
ing forces many hundreds. Let every
citizen of this county root for the Penn

The Emporium Furnace.

Andrew Brady went to New York
city last night on business of impor-
tance Mr.. Brady has operated the
furnace at this place for ten years,
coming here April 1st,. 1899, and CIV
en- employment steady all these years
to hundreds of men, at the same time
paying the Pennsylvania r. r. Co.,
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
freight charges. Despite the panic, he
has continued to operate his plant
every day and night and we hope,
with all our citizens, that he may con-
tinue to secure the encouragement
and support that will warrant the con-
tinuance of this important industry,
which means so much to Emporium,
as well as Cameron county. We say
Cameron county, for we firmly be-
lieve that within a few months Mr..
Brady's grit will be the means of open
ing a great trade in our coal, coke and
iron products, that will add greatly
to the upbuilding of Emporium and
the entire county. Pull, don't buck,
for our beautiful mountain city, and
croakers keep quiet. If you can't
speak a good word for your town move
on and let some other person take
your place.

DEATHS DOINGS.
HIRSCH.

| THEODORE HIRsCH died at the home
of his sister, Mrs. David We'll, at Buff
falo, on Saturday, April 18th, from the
effects of typhoid pneumonia of only
one weeks duration. Deceased was
born at Emporium, Oct. 1, 1876, and
was in his 33rd year. Mr.. Hirsch was
in the employ of the B. R. & P. r. r.
Co., at Pittsburg, in the freight offices,
and had gone to Buffalo to visit his
sister and assist her to move into her
new home when he was stricken with
the disease that caused his death. The
funeral was conducted at the home of
his brother r. H. Hirsch and wife, on
Maple street, last Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. j. M. Robertson, rector or the
Emmanuel Episcopal Church, off
ciated. The casket bearers were
Messrs. Jasper Harris, James Morrisey,
Fred A. Johnson, Charles Hockey,
John Waddington and Emmit Tulis.
The singing was furnished by quar-
tette composed by Messrs. HI. Q. Ohm.
sted, @. I'll. Felt, 1. X. Hockey, and
Geo. A. Walker. Deceased is survived
by two sisters and two brothers. Those
from out of town who attended the
funeral were Mr.. and Mrs. (sister) III.
s. Ness and daughters, Miss Hattie
Ness and Mrs. Emma Johnston, of
Bellevue, Pa, and Mr. and Mrs. David
We'll, of Buffalo, and Mrs. ]. H. Swain,
of Olean. The many flowers that were
sent showed the high esteem in which
the deceased was held. The freight
handlers of Pittsburg sent beautiful
design. The bereaved brothers and
sisters have the sympathy of the PRESS
and large circle of friends.
We have known deceased all of his
life and always found him an upright,
gentiemanly and industrious young
man. He was the third son of our re-
spected citizens, Mr.. and Mrs. |. A.
Hirsch, who were highly respected
neighbors.
