DEC 5 190? tojejeWg «^ JKeroUt. " Pear no man, and do justice to all men." Vol. I. SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1903. No. 12 THE FIREMEN ACTIVE. Two Small Fires Demand the Attention of the Firemen. POOR EQUIPMENT NOTED. The alarm of fire sent in on Friday night, November 27, called the "few faithful" to the home of Mr. E. A. Woods,, on Grant street, where it was found that a smouldering fire was eating away the timbers beneath the bath-room floor. The cause of the flames was an over-heated furnace in the cellar. The fire did not gain much headway, and/was confined to the flooring of the above mentioned room. But for the timely return of Mr. Woods, who was absent from his home in the early evening, the inmates of this beautiful home would probably have been suffo- 'cated. There was but one line of hose laid by the firemen, which was carried up the main hallway, and held in readiness, but not used. A garden hose did the work of extinguishing the blaze, and the surplus of water did considerable damage. The firemen were prompt, and they did good service with a poor equipment. This is one of the instances (and we will have others) where two or three men are supposed to lug a critics pushing the hose reel on a frosty morning—not much. Another instance noted was the fact that the Babcocks owned by the company—which froze in the "hose barn," and were necessarily put out of commission, could have been used to good advantage and would have saved some of the damage wrought by the garden hose. The second alarm was sounded about 3.45 Saturday morning, November 28. and called the firemen to the residence of Dr. J. M. McCready, Beaver street and Blackburn avenue, but their services were not required. The flames originated from a kitchen range, and the fire was confined to the floor immediately beneath it. Dr. J. M. McGready succeeded in extinguishing the flames with a stream from a small hose. The damage was slight. . I. W. SCOTT. A Loving Tribute. / Hanging on the wall in the office of the Sewickley Public Schools is a portrait of the late lamented H. J. Rose, who for a number of years was principal of that institution, and whose sudden demise will ever be remembered by a large circle of friends. The picture is a loving tribute of the school children, and was purchased by them as a token of esteem, for the late Professor was near and dear to all the pupite, and was held in the highest esteem by the School Board and faculty. It is a crayon portrait, the work of a Pittsburg artist, and is mounted in a magnificent frame. On Monday afternoon the pupils of the school viewed the picture and the expressions on their faces told only too plainly as they looked upon the face of their late Principal that they had indeed lost a true and loving cumbersome two-wheeled hose reel'; friend. : for a mile, on a dead run, (if they; Wott*His Suit. would be prompt) while the bor-*- Contractor Bean, who was arrested ough has several horses standing'!

You never find these I sustaining his appeal, f The Close of a Well-Spent Life. Mrs. Mary Thompson Scott, wife of 1 W. Scott, the well-known merchant of Pittsburg, died suddenly on Tuesday afternoon at her home, Iowa and Anderson streets, Herron Hill. Pittsburg. Mrs. Scott hadi been apparently in the best of health up to the evening before her fatal illness. She died at 2 o'clock the following day. The cause of her death was heart trouble. Mrs. Scott was horn in Pittsburg on September 1, 1847. Her father, John Thompson, was in business on Fourt'n 3venue for years, owning the land upon which the Pittsburg Times building now' stands. Th© family later moved to this place, and Mrs. .Scott resided here for thirty-five years prior to her marriage, which took l.lace in 1888. She is survived by her husband| and two daughters, Mary Louise and Harriett. Two brothers, John and William, both residents of Allegheny, and a sister, Miss Christiana Thompson, principal of ithe ladies' seminary at Washington, Pa., also survive her, She v/as a member of the Third United Presbyterian church of Pittsburg, and was one of the most active church women of that city. Aside from the missionary work of that congregation she was actively associated in the work at large of the church. She was a member and a director of the Women's Association of the United Presbyterian church, a member of the board, of managers and chairman of the finance committee of the United Presbyterian Memorial Home in Allegheny City, and had been for years treasurer and purchasing agent, of the annual bazar of the church, as well as a member of the auditing committee of the Orphans' Home Memorial Home and Home for Aged People, all institutions' of the United Presbyterian Church. The news of Mrs. Scott's sudden death was a shock to her many friends in Sewickley. Possessing as she did a lovely character and a winsome disposition, she endeared herself, during the long years of her residence here, to many who will cherish in life her memory. Her activities in religious and charitable work—while living herte—will be remembered by her former co-workei'S, who felt keenly the loss of her presence and, help when she removed to the city. The funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon from her late home, and were conducted by Rev. J. T. McCrory, pastor of the Third United Presbyterian Church, assisted by other clergymen. General Revival Being Planned. A general revival all over the county is being planned by the ministers of Pittsburg and vicinity. On Monday evening the general committee in charge of the meetings met and appointed chairmen for the several district committees. There are forty-two districts in all.

Death of Mr. John Murray/' * Word was received here on Thursday evening that Mr. John Murray, of Library, Pa., had passed away. He was almost eighty years of age, and had lived in Library all his life. Mr. Murray was a first cousin of the late Mr. W. P. Murray, of this place. The funeral will take place this afternoon at two o'clock. A Joke On the Gunner. Connected with the Pennsylvania station, at Sewickley, is a man who is the proud possessor of a new gun, and thereby hangs a tale, Some of the boys in the neighborhood of the freight station succeeded in killing a rabbit in the meadow, and after skinning it they stuffed the hide and placed it in a very lifelike position in a clump of bushes nearby and one of their number proceeded to the station and informed the gentleman of the whereabouts of the frisky "cotton tail." With a true gunner's instinct, he reached for his trusty field- piece, and buckling on his cartridge belt, proceeded to look for 'Brer rabbit. His search was soon rewarded, and with a demeanor that would have done justice to Colonel Cody, he drew his gun to his shoulder and fired, and, well he '"got next" to the joke, but we do not know what will happen when he "gets next" to the joker, q iff ft- fa
