Gage, who was so unfortun ate as to fall from a bridgo in the north-cast pai t of the town, is slow ly improving. No bones were brok en but the flesh was lacerated so it will be some time before he will be about again. We thought we had a very fair stock of under wear, considering the size of the place and surrounding country, just having counted up nearly 200 boxes filled, and partly filled. And, as we are sure that we sell at least twice the amount of undent-ear as any other concern in town, wo cannot understand what any one could do with twice tho amount of stock that wo have. W e should consider it a clear case of be ing badly overstocked. Purdy. A. R. Bullis was summoned Wed nesday to Akron, N. Y. by the death of his sister, Mrs. Mary Bui lis Sheffield. Mrs. Sheffield was the oldest of tho children of Dr. Abram Bullis. Her early days were spent in Macedon and Farmington whero she had a great many friends Mr. and Mrs. Ira, L.

Mrs. Mary Kelihcr, aged 75 years, died at the home of Mrs. Owens in this place Sunday moining. For sonio time Mrs, Kelihcr has peddled \ notions m this comunity and was at her business when taken sick. She had a married daughter at Brighton who attended to tho burial. The funeral was held at St. Patrick's Catholic church, Tuesday morning at nine o'clock. The two men who robbed James B. Keelcr, of Sweden, at Lyous recently, were captured at Geneva and are now in the Wayne county jail awail'ng their examination, which will take place tomorrow.

He s said to have traveled with Sim telle's circus last ceason under the name of George Dcihl. Tho case of the people against Clark A. Niece of Naples, indicted for excise law violation, was conclud ed Wednesday and a verdict of guil ty was rendered in the afternoon. Judge Metcalf sentenced the defend ant to pay a fine of $200. Niece was charged with selling a malt bov- erage under the name of hop soda, and ho has been on trial for the same offense before. Thoro was a judgment of $50. with 30 days im prisonment standing against him and tho judge also affirmed this judgment. The town of Lyons takes pride -in being the County Seat and gotting all there is in it from the rest of tho county. But it has its disadvantag es. Tho Lyons railroad yard is also a good thing to havo, but this also catches a ^ood many tiamps and in creases tho jail bill. Tho blessings of theso circumstances they aro quite glad to receive, and tho draw backs they wisli to sharo with the county. There is not a town in the county but what would relieve Ly ons of these curses. War with Chili appears to ho in evitable. Mrs. Ira L. Boal has an attack of influenza. W. H.

As wo go to press Bert Stone lies in a very critical condition at his homo in this place, seriously sick with pneumonia. It is feared he may not recover. By the way Editor Cole guards the maidens of that ancient village of Palmyra, one is led to think that ho has found again that treasure Joseph Smith dug out of Bible Hill and is to establish himself at the head of another similar religious institution. The StLouis Express collided with the Niagara Falls special at Yonkers Thursday evening. The later was at a standstill on account of a small collision at Sing Slug earlier in the evening when the express came into the rear coach. To add to tho fatal ity the boiler exploded. Seven arc reported killed and several injured but the list will probably be swelled considerably. Mrs Martin Dean died Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, after a short attack of tho grip. For tho past years Mrs. Dean has been in a most helpless state on account of palsy, but death was not looked for from that cause and probably would not have come for yeais had she not con tracted the prevailing disease.

The funeral will be held at the family residence, Sun day, Dec . 27th, at ono o'clock. The Rev. Mr. Gomme will conduct the services. Washington Letter. Poor Report. JU rs. Casey, Mrs. Mary J.

El- kins, of West Virginia, to bo Secre tary of War, was at onco accepted as a tacit assertion that Mr. Blaine was no longer in tho list of Presi dential possibilities. No appoint ment made by the President has created so much comment as this, and certainly none has been fraught with so much political^intercst. The intimacy which has for years existed between Mr. Blaine and Mr. Elkins, the uncertainty which attaches to Mr. Blaine's futuro intentions, and Mr. Harrison's well-known desire to bo his own successor, are topics which enter into tbo gossip which the nomination has aroused. Mr. Elkins was first offered the War portfolio last spring at Capo May. He then declined it, stiting that he could not accept it whilo Mr. Golf was unprovided for, his reason being that Mr. Goff should bo recog nized for tho time and money spent by him in endeavoring lo promote the interests of the Republican party in West Virginia. When a few weeks ago Mr. Elkins visited Wash ington and lunched with tho Presi dent at the White House, he was asked for the third timo to accept the place. With the tender at this timo was coupled tho assurance that Gov. Golf would bo given one of tho circuit court judgeships. Mr. Llkins replied that, under these circumstan ces, he would consider tho offer. He went at once to call upon tho Secret ary of State, with whom ho had a long interv lew. In the course of this mterviow Mr. Elkms is reported to have asked 'What effect would my appo'ntment havo upon your Presidential chances next year.'\ \Absolutely none, was Mr, Blaine's reply. \As I feel at present, I shall not be a candidate for the nomination. If, however, thero should come lo mo from the Republican party an overwhelming xprcssion, demanding that I accept tho nomination, I may feel con strained to put aside my personal feelings and aeeepl tho nomination. In that case, Mr Harrison will be for mo, and thero will bo no impro priety in your being my friend also. On tho other hand should Mr, llar- ison be the nominee, f will not ho n tho race, and, therefore, you will bo his friend. I cannot seo how our acceptance or declination \\ ill hangc tho condition of things in the lightest degree, and I would advise you to accept tho appointment. Whereupon Mr Klkins accepted. By the present arrangement the greater part of the congressional membership spends Christmas and New Year's in Washington. If the proposed constitutional amendment causing the session to be;^in in Jonu ary instead of December were adopt ed theso members would pass the holidays at home. Washington, always glad to have members of Con gress make tho nselves at home here, would mus the December openings, but what is her loss might bo the gonoral gain Then,—and hero is tho principal object of tbo proposed •hange—n. Congress chosen in 1S90 would not wait until 1892 to get to work, it would convene two months after election and legislate tho fresh ascertained will of the people. How is it now' Congress waits thir teen months after it is chosen, or, as sometimes happens, untl new issues havo superseded the ones on which it was elected, before it assembles. And in the same connection, inaugu- ation day should be changed to the historic and more suitable date which Washington has long advoca ted. Tho hotel lobbies aro thronged with crowds of men whose anxious faces reflect their dubious hopes and fears in the matter of winning subor dinate positions in the House of Rep resentatives. These disciples of Mi- cawber havo traveled hundreds of miles for the chanco of getting a $1,200 job, knowing at the samo time thero would bo a dozen applicants for every place. A prominent mem ber said to mo yesterday; \I have nine fellows from my district after office and I may get a placo for one, in which event I know the old saw will bo verified and I will have made eight enemies aud ono ingrate.' Senator Proctor is signalizing his admission to tho Senate by tbe intro duction of a number of bills for tbe improvement of the Army. He has already iotroduded bills for tho reor ganization of tho artillery, to in crease tho efficiency of tho army, to fix the grades of medical officers, and to authorize the loasings by tho Sec retary of War of such property un dcr tho Secretary's control as the War Department has no present use for. Senator Pcffer no doubt felt very much at home when he saw tho long whiskers and gray hairs on many of the \new\ measures introduced in the Senate. Mr. Springer \guesses\ thero will be a number of changes in the McKinley law. The President and the Senate may ask Mr. Springor to guess agaio. At the last annual convention of the railroad commissioners of the United States a committeo was ap pointed to draft a petition to Con gr'ess praying for automatic coup Tavs and tram brakes for freight cars The petition and a bill for carrying it into effect were presented to the Senate this week by Sonator Cul lorn.
