U*UMa* BALL FOR PALOME, Northern Wjer York I,eatgue Reor- ganize*, In \VI»I« It Tf alone will I>lay an Important Part. Lovers of base ball in Franklin county will be pleased to know that» Malone is now a member of the Northern Hew York League, in ? wbieh the towns of Potsdam, Canton^ Ogdensburg and Gouverneur are included. There is a possibility that Massena may also come in \ater. A partial canvass in Malone last week made it apparent that a substantial guarantee fund could be easily secured. Delegates from the different elabs met in Ogdens- burg on Thursday last. G. Herbert Hale represented Malone and was elected chair- man of the meeting. A set of raies were adopted, the mos>t important being that the players of each team shall be restric- ted to St. Lawrence and Franklin coun- ties and those who have been formerly identified with the league, except inthe case of Gouvernenx, who will be permitted to obtain an outside battery, aud Malone will be allowed an outside pitcher. \ An umpire is.to be selected from each town, but who shall not officiate in a contest in which his home team is a participant. The expenses of each umpire are to be borne by the contesting teams. The officers elected were President, J. L. Dowsey, Potsdam: secretary, F. J. Wheeler, Canton; board of directors, J. M. Bently, OgdenSbafg; J. %. Keenan, Potsdam: D. M. Spencer, Canton. The remaining members of the board will be named by the managers of the Gouverneur and Malone teams, A meeting to perfect a local organiza- tion and elect a manager will be held at the office of O'Neil & Hale this {Tuesday) evenfngat 7:30. All subscribers to the guarantee fund are urged to attend. „ LUNGS NATURALLY WEAK, Loops sore or weakened by the grip, or by pneu- monia or successive ooids. and throats raw or in- flamed from colds and coughing, need the balmy soothing and healing influence of TOLUIA EMULSION.

Some people are always looking on the dark side of everything. In fact, with some it seems to be constitutional. If a stranger happens to arrive in town and finds things rather quiet and makes a re- mark to that effect it is poor policy to chime-in and say, \Yes Malone is dead,\ rhich gives a bad impression to the stranger, who is bonnd to {pake a mental note of it. This is the dail season for the retail mercantile trade, bat it gives mer- chants an opportunity to take an inventory, to post their accounts, to strike a balance and find where they stand and know just how the new year opens up with them. Malone has spleudid railroad facilities and has a large area to draw upon for local business. A large wholesale business is also done here, and the territory is growing contin- ually by reason of. conservative and honor- able business methods^ «n&»demaud for goods that meet every requirement. Mr. H. A. Miller is doing a fine bnainess in tanning and getting - leather rg^dy for market. The demand for his finished product .is coaUanall^ ineceasiog. Sy- mends & Allison are doing a growing business in the wholesale line, having re- cently added a candy manufacturing plant of their own. Acdrus & Robinson and A. G. Crooks & Co. also do a fine wholesale grocery business. Malone does 6 manufacturing. Three pant factory establishments are turning out a large amount of goods, and \ McMillan 7T or ' Malone Pants \ have become household words. The goods are made by Lawrence, Webster & Co.. J. O. Baliard & Co., and the Malone Pants Uo. The two hard- ware bouses here do a wholesale as well as retail business, each keeping a sales- man on the road. This is also a center for wholesale produce business and thous- ands of bushels of potatoes are annually shipped to Eastern markets and the same may be said of hops. Malone is one of the hop centers of the country, the pro- daet having few if any superior in the market. The raising of small fruits has become quite an indastry of farmers not remote from town, and the demand for them comes largely from summer resorts, which furnishes a constantly increasing market for home grown fruits and garden truck. Malone occupies a favorable position, within easy access to the lakes, moun- tains and St. Lawrence river, and has every advantage of modern life, the best water in the world, besides opportunities for larger business development. The town could well be put in the category of health resorts, and no place in the State can make a better showing. The new paper mill is another industry that will be appreciated, and if a boom of tha,t kind once gets started it may draw others here. Cigars are manufactured here by wholesale. Eldredge & Wilson j*nd Mayne & Brown do a large wholesale and retail business in all kinem^of convey ances for summer or winter travel. , Enough business interests have been cited to show that Malone is a business center of considerable importance—the grumblers to the contrary notwithstand- ing. In conclusion we might add that the town, so beautiful in summer, draws many to her borders and takes on at least features becoming places sty ted—summer resorts that are> much larger but no bet- ter in location, altitude pr general facili- ties, and is withal a business center of more importance than is generally credited. A GRAND WINTEt t CAKSIVAL At Plattsbargb , N. ¥. , Feb'y 21st, 22nd an d 23rd. Magnificent Spec- of Attraction*. Great preparations are being made for the Grand Winter Carnival at Pittsburgh. A most elaborate proipram has been prepared and the event will be the most magnificent affair ever seen in Northern New York. Special excursion rates have been made by all railroads and ample hotel accommodation 'feade for the cowfort of all visitors. The carnival will cover a period of three days, beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 2l when there will be a hockey match between PlattsboFffh and Maiooe teams, fancy and trick skating by Mr. John Isllsson (the world's cham- pion speed skater,), an exhibition of fancy skat- ing by the champion lady fancy skater. Miss Cmnmings, and a children's fancy dress earuiyal. Tharaday, Washington^ Birthday, will be the gala day. There* will be an exciting ie« boat race on the lake in the morning; the grand street parade occurs at il:S0 A.

This will be a most realistic scene and one that has never been attempted since the early Indian wars, the incident being one that often occurred in those days, and a moat vivid reproduction will be madie. Musketry and artillery will add effect to the brilliant illumination of the blockhouse. The crowning feature of the day and evening- will be the superb display of fireworks and illumination of block house, the reflection of which will be visible for mites, No- expense has been spared to make this exhibition the grandest ever attempted outside of the largest cities. On Friday afternoon Maione will play a gam hookey with Saranac Lake, and there wil rancy and trick skating by Mr. Nikwou and Camnainjpi and a three mile race, open to ail amateurs.

The existence of the Chateaa^ay-ore bed was known for at least half a century before'active operations for its development were bftjrun There are reasons for believmsr that iron ore was taken from this deposit for a forsre on Chat- eangay river as early as 1808. and it is certain that in 1823 Lioyti If. Rogers, the owner wag ->ware of the existence of a valuable iron fnine m his land, discovered, as- the story goes, by oneCoilios. But the mine lay in the depth of what was then considered an impeeetrabie wilderness, and it was manv years before any persistent attemptwas made to work it. Even after the great extent and rieimess of the iron mine became known, the faet created litte in- terest among capitalists,for the reason that it was so remote from lines of transportation and ly- ing in a region which abounded in natural ob- stacles, held to be practically iffimrmotin table against the baiiding of roads of any kind, and it frivrxAa ~ ~ was not until aboat 1366 that the first move was mentis. m&dB toward otiiizing this treasure, when Messrs. „ . „ . Foote Weed. Meade knd Waldo made a ooBtra»;t Justice M. A. Martin spent two OF -with the owner, Edward Law Rogers of Balti- - • more and sooa afterwards entered \ipon posses- sion of the property.

Nortoi. „ the fall of 1S75 the work of developing the perty was began in earnest. A plank road was boilt from the Saranac river plank road J which ran up the Saranac river 30 miles from Pittsburgh to the Forks dt the, Saranac, branching from that road at Sarana*; Hollow, and running 13 miles into the dense primevatwilderness to the ore bed. and thence northward to Belknont, at the foot of Chateau- gay Lake, where a large Catalan forge had al- ready been, commenced, to be driven by the great water power at thfi_OQtlet. At that time there was only a small clearing in the dense forest, with a few loe shanties where the village of Lyon M obtain now stands. The ore cropped out abundantly on the surface, and the work of getting it jvas simpiy <juarrying and hauling away with teams, instead of mining and hoisting.

Even then tbe reputation of Chateaa- ir->» ore was established as fine of the best { known fur making the finest qualities of But it- was not until the organization of the :hateaaeaT Ore & Iron Co. in 1881 that the bus- oess of working the Cbateaugayj>re bed was be- on a fftf-ax scaie. The \most modern and hin- , the -. Drilling machines working 1>y compressed air. the ground was cleared of forest and thk-kiy strewn bouiders; bouses, officer machine-shops and other necessary buildings were erected. The best approved patterns of brick coal kilns were built, roasting, stamping, crushing and separating machinery was intro- duced, a railroad from Plattsburgfa supplanted the piank road, and in May. 1888. Lyon Mountain had grown from the wilderness to a thriving village of 3J00 inhabitants—the busiest spot in Clinton county. The main vein had been un- , . , , , . , ,, covered for 2.609 ft. in length, making a workiofc weeks with the measles m the college ,#erfaee of 46,000 feet, and 800 tons of ore wae ' being raised daily. $530,000 had been expended for machinery and improvements, and the month- ly pay-roll amounted to about $50,000.
