Friday, 19 Jul 1912 Volume 45, Number 28 Personal Mention P. F. Campbell, the well known civil engineer of Portage, was a pleasant caller at THE FREEMAN office yesterday. He reports his home town in a flourishing condition. Many improvements in the way of sewers, sidewalks and paving are being made. A number of new houses are building. Dr. and Mrs. A. A. Flick were pleasant callers at THE FREEMAN office recently. The Doctor is located in Chicago and came to attend the silver jubilee of his brother, Father Lewis Flick at Carrolltown. They expect to spend some time among relatives and friends. Rev. Father John S. O'Connor, formerly assistant priest at St. John's Pro-Cathedral, Altoona, has been made assistant to Rev. Father J. J. Deasy at Gallitzin. Coupon, for the time being, is a mission attended from Gallitzin. W. A. W. Krebs of this place, former Treasurer of the Cambria Title, Savings and Trust company, is in Massachusetts examining national banks, he having recently been appointed by the U. S. government as a bank examiner. Albert Flick, the lightning rod man of Carrolltown, was a business visitor to Ebensburg Wednesday. The damage done by the recent storms has caused many persons to buy rods in order to protect their properties. The Misses Helen, Elizabeth and Dorothy James of Philadelphia, daughters of the late Rev. Dr. Owen James, formerly of Johnstown, are the guests of their brother and sister- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. M. H. James. Rev. Father Louis Flick of Newark, N. J., Sister Joachin of Philadelphia, Mrs. W. C. Schroth, Mrs. H. J. Behe and Mrs. G. L. Miller of Carrolltown were Ebensburg visitors last Friday. D. J. Davis and wife; Marshall Owens and wife; Miss June Boney, Miss Edna Evans and Harry Lloyd are Ebensburgers spending their vacation at Atlantic City. L. S.

Helfrick of Hastings, one of THE FREEMAN patrons, was a pleasant caller at this office Wednesday last. Messrs. Englebert Shilling, I. R. Campbell and Vernon R. Dawson of Gallitzin were Ebensburg visitors Saturday. John McCool, one of Washington Township's prominent farmers, was an Ebensburg visitor Wednesday.

Drinks Not to be Sold on PRR Lines East of Pittsburg The sale of all intoxicating liquors on the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburg has been abandoned. This is announced by Traffic Manager Wood. Similar action, he says, will soon be taken on all other lines of the Pennsylvania. The decision to abandon the sale of intoxicants in Pullmans and dining cars is due to the efforts of the anti-saloon league. State Superintendent Charles W. Carroll said the railroad company entered into an agreement with the league to stop the sale of liquor on its lines. The elimination of liquor from the dining cars menu will have little effect on the revenues of the PRR company. The profits from drinks served have always been small, says Mr. Wood, and the company only sold drinks to accommodate patrons. With the discontinuance of the sale of intoxicants on trains the bars located at the various Pennsylvania raid terminals in the East probably also will be closed in a short time. Miss Bengele Wins Car A fine Mitchell touring car offered by the Altoona TIMES was won by Miss Hilda Bengele of Gallitzin. The many friends of Miss Bengele who aided her during the contest are rejoicing over her success. The listed price of the machine is $1,350. Her majority was much in excess of her closest opponent. Child Breaks Arm Martha, the 7-year-old daughter of Wm. Krug, proprietor of the Metropolitan hotel, fell off a fence Monday last, causing a fracture of her right arm and dislocation of her elbow. She received prompt medical attention and is getting along nicely. Arcade Studio Changes Hands Thos. F. Brady of 217 Lincoln street, Johnstown, has purchased the Post Card Emporium and Arcade Studio, 119 Franklin street, opposite the post office, Johnstown, Pa. Mr. Chas F. Burgraf who for years conducted a studio on Clinton street has taken charge of the Arcade Gallery where all work contracted for will receive the most careful consideration. The Arcade has been remodeled and new equipments added, making it the most up-to- date gallery in the city.

Osterling, a Pittsburg contractor. Wants Damages Elizabeth and Henry F. Womer have brought suit for $25,000 against the Johnstown Traction company for injuries alleged to have been suffered by the former in an accident on Central avenue December 24, 1910. The plaintiffs maintain that after notifying the crew in charge of the car that she wished to get off, the car stopped and that just as she reached the rear platform the car started with a jolt and the woman was thrown violently to the ground and was seriously injured. The accident, it is further alleged, followed shortly after Mrs. Womer underwent an operation for gall stones. She asks $15,000 for her injuries. Her husband, Henry F. Womer, asks $10,000 for the injuries sustained by his wife and the loss of service which she would have rendered him. Clarion County's Judge Dead William A.
