A Good Run.

The young men of the Athletic AS
sociation of the Emporium High
School, who are tryingout for posi-
tions on the basket ball team, accom-
panied by Profs. w. g. Briner and r.
FL. Edgar, took some good healthful
exercise in cross country run to How.
ard Siding last Saturday morning. The
entire distance of twelve miles was
made in two hours and twenty min
utes. Several of the young men suf
fered from stiff joints and sore muscles
caused by the strenuous exercise and
were limping around last Sunday.
The runs will be made each Saturday
as long as the weather permits.

Seriously Injured.

Ed. J. Rogers met with serious and
almost fatal accident last Friday even-
ing. After completing some work in
Emporium wanted to get home quick
and in order to do so he got onto the
yard engine that was going to make q
fast run to the Emporium Powder Co.,
siding AS they passed the warehouse
of the Keystone Powder Company,
Jas. Farrell noticed Rogers attempting
to get off and was thrown about twenty
feet between the tracks and made
signals to the r. r., crew to attract
their attention. Rogers was found in
an unconscious condition. He was
taken to his home and medical aid
summoned. Drs. DeLong and Smith
labored with him for two or three
hours, dressing his injuries. In addi-
ton to several severe cuts about head
and face his left arm was fractured. A
miracle that he was not killed. He is
still in serious condition yet he will
pull through, for he is as tough as q
pine knot. We will wager a shad that
he walks home when he gets on his
pins again. Ed. has had lots of i'll luck
during the past few years and it is
time his luck turned.

Old Veteran Calls.

Mr.. Alber Lord, of Cameron, came
to Emporium last Friday to transact
some business and celebrate his nth
birthday by calling on his old friends
in town. The PRESS was one of the
favored ones to enjoy visit from the
old veteran. We are always proud to
welcome, at any time, those patriots,
some times called, in 1853, by the
copperheads, "Lincoln's Hirelings''-
who suffered privations that this, the
grandest government on the face OF
the earth, should not perish. We al
ways feel like downing our hat when
we pass by one of those patriots.
Veteran Lord came to Cameron
county in 1856 from Delaware comfy,
N. Y, and located at Sinnamahoning
(then Clinton county,. He enlisted
at the outbreak of the rebellion in the
14sth Penn'a Infantry, under Gen'l Jas
A. Beaver. Mr.. Lord was confined in
southern prisons for seven months,
and of course has suffered considerably
from the effects of starvation and dis
ease. Hope he may live to celebrate
his 9th anniversary.

BOY ACCIDENTLY
SHOOTS HIS CHUM
Victim Gonerates Boy Before Death.
funeral friday Afternoon.


About two o'clock Tuesday after
noon two young men-Lewis Jessee
Carman, aged about II years and Chas.
Dolan, about ID years, son of Merrick
Nolan-got gun from Walter Granger
and prepared to go after wild ducks.
When only few rods from the farm
of W. E. Angevjne on North Creek,
where the former young man has been
employed on Mr.. Angevine's milk
route, they stopped on the bank of the
creek when young Nolan attempted to
show his companion how the field
piece worked-the shot gun being of a
IL gauge pattern-when the gun dis
charged the load entering the stomach
of Carman, who was in close range
DIR. Bush was hurried to the farm house
of Mr.. Angevine and afterexamining
the nature of the wound saw at once
that it was fatal and SO informing the
poor boys friends. A telegram was
sent to the unfortunate lads step-father
and mother, Mr.. and hIrs. Chas. Evans
of Austin, who came over at once, ar
irving in the death chamber at 9:30, Just
as the unfortunate lad breathed his
last.
The grief of young Nolan is said to
have been very touching, especially
when the dying boy fully exonerated
him of all blame. All that Mr.. Ange-
vines family, as we'll as neighbors,
could do to ease his suffering while his
young life slowly ebbed away, was
cheerfully rendered.
His funeral will be held at Rich Val
ley church, Friday afternoon at two
o'clock, interment to take place in the
cemetery near the church.
The death of this young man is in
deed sad. We knew him and admired
his spirited zeal to rise in the world
and only lately heard of his desire to
enter the u. s. navy that he might aid
in defending his country.
Great sympathy is expressed for the
unfortunate companion, who is not
morally responsible for the sad death.
1t was an act of Providence. The poor
mother and other relatives are indeed
to be consoled.

offerings taken on that day, which
amounted to S325.00 will be used to re-
duce the debt on the church. The

preached two excellent sermons, which
were listened to by large and appre-
