And he has achieved a success almost If not without parallel or precedent. With in* three years he has raised $17,000,000. Under his direction thousands of forces have been stirred Into activity, thousands of persons appealed to. He has construct ed and set in motion a great, complex, powerful machine ; its motive power is Methodism; its wheels and cogs and aux iliary parts, each having its peculiar dn- dutles, working in harmony, are bishops, pastors, laymen, and chntch members; its purpose is the raising of the Twentieth Century Thank Offering of $20,000,000, and the engineer that guides and controls (it ia Rev. Dr. Edmund M. Mills.” M r . Wesley Merrifield, of Benton, died in Dr. Lee’s hospital at Rochester, about midnight on Wednesday last. He was taken to that institution on Monday for a surgical operation, but on his arrival there his condition had so much improved that it was thought an operation would not be necessary. On Thursday he became much worse and the operation was performed, which consisted of the removal of a large tumor from his intestines. He survived the operation but a few hours. The re mains arrived in Penn Yan on the two- o’clock train on the Northern Central on Friday afternoon. The deceased is sur vived by his wife, one sister, Sarah, and two children, John and Sarah. L a s t Sunday John Rector, Jr., of Penn Yan, got into trouble while returning from Bath. On the train he is alleged to have assaulted Chauncey Bailey, of Gib son, giving him a severe beating.

Rector was taken before Police Justice Baker and gave bonds in the sum of $200 for appearance in Pulteney to morrow. He was also placed under bonds for a like sum for appearance here September 1st to answer the charges of Officer Hyland.— Democrat . On the examination before Esquire Hess in Pulteney oa Saturday last, Rector was fined $15 and costs. La Re Notes, A p e t i t i o n is b e in g circulated askin g th e cem e t e r y co m m issio n e r to open a roadway to Lake View Cemetery by ex tending Court street. Elm street is in such a deplorable condition that at times it is difficult to travel over that highway with comfort. The trolley cars also an noying and dangerous when funeral pio- cesslons are proceeding to the cemeteiy. The roadway by way of Court street has long been needed and should be built at once.— Chronicle. Before a new street leading to the cem etery Is opened up, Elm street, which leads to both the Protestant and Catholic cemeteries, should be improved. The petition should have no weight in influ encing the acti n o f the trustees in this matter. Aside from the travel to the cemeteries, Elm street is one of the most traveled thoroughfares leading into the village, and it has had less done for it than many streets of less importance. It was announced some time ago that Elm would be the next street to be macadam ized, and it probably will be.— Democrat . Elm street should be improved as the Democrat claims, and there should also be an extension of Court street In accord ance with the pelitlon. The former, however, is first In order of importance. Beyond Keuka, Elm street is in a wretch ed condition. From Main to Liberty it haa been improved several times at great expense. —The Monday Evening Club gave a small dance at Grove Spring Hotel on Monday evening, Aug. 85th. — Mr. John Sheridan and Mr. John Bir mingham and families have returned af ter a two weeks’ stay along the lake. — Dr. George Fetterolf and Mr. Arthur Quinn, of Philadelphia, entertained a party of twenty at Keuka Hotel on Mon day evening, August 25th. — The officers and teachers o f the Pres byterian Sunday School will picnic on Monday, September ist, at the cottage of Mrs. Thomas L.

Warren Sisson, aged about fifteen yeats, son of Mr. and Mr. David Sisson, of Bar rington, was drowned in Lake Keuka on Monday. About the middle of the after noon young Sisson, accompanied by his sister and two yonng ladies, went to the lake shore, secured a rowboat of J. J. Ovens, and started across the lake, which is a little over a mile wide at that point. Within about thirty tods of the west shore, and a short distance above Scho field’s, which is about eight miles from this village, Sisson took the oars from the leeks and threw them overboard. He then removed his shoes, stockings, coat and belt and plunged into the water after the oars, his evident object having been a display of his proficiency as a swim mer. When Sisson, after his plunge, arose to the eurfece of the water he was some distance from the boat, toward which he immediately commenced to swim. He had proceeded bnt a little distance when, evidently taken with a cramp, he shouted to the occupants of the boat to come to his assistance, but as the oars were overboard they could do nothing but witness the end of the heart rending tragedy. The joung man vainly struggled to reach the boat, and finally sank to the bottom of the lake, which is about 100 feet deep at that point. After he had sank for the last time the remaining occupants of the boat were rescued by friends from the east side of the lake. Several on the west shore wit nessed the drowning, but were unable to give help. Besides his parents, the deceased is survived by three sisters and one brother. The event has painfully shocked the en tire community in which the lad resided, and where he was well liked, while it is a crushing blow to the patents. Shortly after the drowning active ef forts to recover the body by grappling were commenced, but up to last evening they had been unsuccessful.

The spoke, hub, wheel, and basket manufactory of the Piice Brothers on Head street, lu this village, was destroyed by fire at an early hour on Sunday morn ing last, together with most of its con tents. Shortly before two o’clock Mrs. Ira Price, who happened to be awake, no ticed an unusually bright light shining through her bedroom window. On look ing out she discovered that the rear of the factory on the opposite side of the street was all ablaze. She aroused the other inmates of the fomily, and shortly after two o’clock the fire alarm was sound ed, The fire department quickly respond ed, and soon had several streams playing on the flames. The fire had, however, made such headway that little could be done except to prevent Its spread to dwelling houses hard by, which was not a light task, as there was a strong north wind. The factory proper, with substan tially all its expensive machinery and considerable material in different stages of finish, were destroyed. The boiler, which was brick-enclosed, was saved. A building in the rear and one on the east side, filled with finished work, also es caped the flames. In the stables on the premises were five horses, which were early removed to a place of safety. Fortunately the firm had considerable finished work in storage in a detached building on the south side of the street, near the railroad track, and also in build ings on the Sheppard coal yards. The office building in front was partial ly saved, its north side having been badly scorched. Shortly after the fire was discovered there were two or three loud explosions in the burning building, the cause of which is unknown, as the proprietors say that there was no explosive material in the factory. It is believed by some that the fire was of incendiary origin. As usual, great care had been taken In the care of the boiler. The fire bad been carefully banked and everything up around it. It is pos sible, however, that the file originated from a sprocket chain carrier running in a box for conveying shavings from the mill to a room in the rear of the boiler, which had given some trouble from heat ing before the fire. This is the second loss o f this kind with which the Price Bros, have been afflicted On the last day of July 1900, their factory located on the same site, was entirely de stroyed by fire, and without any insnr ance. That fire was also attributed 10 in cendiarism, bnt nothing conclusive as to its origin has ever been obtained. Donbly afflicted within a short time, It is not surprising that the Price Bros, ate greatly discouraged and say that they do not intend to rebuild. It is hoped, how ever, that they may change their minds. At the time of the fire they were giving employment to fifty-four hands. The loss will, therefore, be severely felt by others, and indirectly by the whole village. The factory was insured for $5,000, $2,500 by the agency of M. F. Hobart & Son, and $2,500 by that of Goodspeed & Miller. The barn was insured for $800 by the agency o f N. S. Dailey. The loss is estimated at $15,000. Express ............ 6 36 A.M.
