EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY, AUGUSTUS, 1910
Street Paving.

Emporium like all towns when they
start improvements, meet with OBJ
stacles and opposition, usually from a
source of chronic kickers, tight wads
and ignorant ones. In Emporium the
opposition thus far dreams of bank
ruptcy, illusions and a thousand and
one non-sensical imaginary objections.
The most ludicrous position is that
taken by the Burgess, who sets up
his judgment against the unanimous
opinion of the Town Council, whose
sworn duty is just as sacred as His
Honor's. His so-called vetoes, in
some cases, are ridiculous and we can
not see what Mr.. Marshall is endeav-
oring to get at. In one of the mes
sages he rails about financial condi-
ton of the Borogh being in deplor-
able condition and has actually Undue.
ed some of our citizens to believe the
charges. We took the trouble to pro-
cure a statement of the actual state of
affairs from Borough Treasurer White,
as follows:

Disastrous Fire
at Sinnamahoning.

A disastrous fire visited Sinna-
mahoning early Tuesday morning
about two O'Clock, totally distroy-
ing the Sinnamahoning House, occu-
pied for many years by the Shafer
family, the post Office adjoining and
the large general merchandise store of
Council Bros. The fire originated in
the Sinnamahoning House in part of
the house where no lights or fires are
kept. 1t seems to be the opinion of
many that the fire was the work of an
incendiary. The flames had gained
such headway that it was impossible
to remove much of the furniture from
the hotel. The loss on hotel and furni-
ture is place at $4,000. Mr.. Shafer had
no insurance on furniture or building >
Council Bros loss on store and post
Office must be heavy for they CARRIED
large stock of goods. Their loss over
and above their insurance, is about
$4,000. Barclay Bros loss on building
is (estimated) at $500, upon which
there is insurance, but the members
of the firm being out of the county we
are unable to reach them.
The citizens of Sinnamahoning
should carefully investigate this mat
ter and, if the fire was of incendiary
origin, offer a liberal reward for
evidence that would lead to con-
viction.

A Narrow Escape,

Last Monday evening, Messrs.
Hubert Brady and Ross Overturf,
while doing some work at the furnace
had narrow escape from death. The
gentlemen were assisting in the repair
work at the plant and in the raising
of heavy timber weighing about
5000 pounds the rope broke. Mr..
Brady was on the top of the timber
and jumped to the ground. In the fall
the timber struck the timber on
which Mr.. Overturf was at work. Both
men jumped about sixteen feet and
missed meeting their death only by a
couple of inches. This was indeed a
very close call and the young men
are to be congratulated upon their
narrow escape.

Sept. 9Th and 7th. Owing to the limit
ed size of our membership it will be
impossible for us to care for all the

peal to all OF our friends who will offer
to care for one or two persons, during
that period. Dinner and supper will
be served by the ladies' of the church
on both days. So all we ask is that
the delegates be cared for over two
nights and given breakfast. Any who

notify Mrs. G. Jay Goodnough, or the

Does this look like a bankrupt Bor-
ough, with a valuation of over one
million dollars? Eighteen hundred
dollars of Indebtedness. Emporium
has, like all progressive peoples,
awakened to the fact that all substan-
tial improvements increases the value
of property and adds to the i'm mportance
of our town: We should like to see
the Main street (Fourth) paved from
the creek to Junction, the bonds plac-
ed placed at a low interest and aoated
for long term OF years, say 25 years
The present tax Of one mill for 1910
bonds:for pavingBroad street is:a mere
pittarce. The Burgess would the bet
ter serve the interests of the property
owners by cooperating with the
Council, whose Executive officer he il
supposed to be--not its dictator
and boost all improvements for the
betterment of Emporium. We hay
no quarrel with the Burgess and az a
property owner and large tax payer
we should desire to have the Burgess
and Town Council work in harmony.
Why he should oppose the paving of
the Fourth street intersection Is be-
yond the apprehension of many tax
payers, az we'll as real friends of His
Honor. Let US have peace ond work
for Emporium. Let us make the main
thoroughfare of the town, as il can be,

fruits, assist ia paying the bills. Shall
