MORE ABOUT THE SUIT Between the St. Rea:»s Paper Co. and Santa Clara Lumber Co, According to the Paper Trade Journal the temporary injuncfrkm-restraining the Santa Clara Lumber Co. from selling its lands, from which it had contracted to furnish pulp wood to the St. Regis Paper Co., was a|gued before Justice Hiscock- recently on an application for an order modifying or vacating it. The justice \reftt%ed to continue the injunction which might prevent the consummation of a valuable contract unless a satisfactory bond should be furoished. A*bond of $100,000 was therefore given by the St. Regis people, and a little later the parties, and attorneys met and made a partial iomproinise. whereby the Cooperage com-: pany, which wants to buy the land,agrees to assume the Santa Clara contract and carry it ont, provided the contract with tbe St. Regis company is finally adjudged to be in force. The bond required was then reduced to $50,000. According to that paper the Santa Clara Lumber Company, which is the owner of 32,000 acres of timber land in Franklin county, contracted in August, 1898, with the St. Regis Paper Company, to furnish the latter with 1,200 cords* of .pulp wood a month for 10 years at f9 a cord, the St. Regis company to have the option of re- newing the contract for 10 years more. Payment was to be made from time to time on the pulp wood to cover the cost of the workj and it was stipulated in the contract that the 1 amber company should not dispose of the property during the life of the contract. Alter the St. Regis com- pany had paid about |25.000 a dispute arose as to the payments, which -differ- ence of opinion the .St. Regis Paper Com- pany offered to arbitrate.. The Santa Clara company would not agree to arbitra- tion of the matter and notified the -St. GBAOl'ATION , JUN E 21st .

(i * ^ V * feeea--& learned that preparations had been made hy the Santa Clara company to sell 10.000 acres of the land upon which the former depended for supplying its mill now in process of construction with pulp wood, and, as tbe export duty placed by the Canadian government on puip timber since the drawing of the contract in ques- tion had advanced the price of that ma- terial about $3 a cord, it was decided to contest the matter of the repudiation^ of the contract in the courts. A Water-town dispatch of Saturday says that Judge Russell has granted- a temporary injunction restraining the Santa Clara Lumber Co. from selling its lands and the pafer company is secure for the present in the possession of a con- tract calling for the delivery each year of from 11,000 to 13,000 cords of pulp wood at $9 per cord. The Santa Clara com- pany claimed the right to rescind because the St. Regis Paper Co. had not advanced all the money for getting out the first year's supply of pulp wood, and that there was $15,000 due on the contract. The court held for the purposes of the temporary injunction that this was not sufficient to work freedom from obliga- tion*\ under a contract for $100,000 per year for ten years, but that the defend ants should be protected from loss, so that in case of the success of the Santa Clara company the court shall not have worked them injury. In addition to the general security upon temporary injunc- tion. Justice Russell requires the plain- tiff to give a satisfactory undertaking, to take the present cut and pay tbe balance at f>9 per cord, and any . additional value found in case it does not succeed, without prejudice to th,e defendant's claimed re- cission, and also to take on similar terms during litigation the future annual cut: of timber. Rev. O. M. Kelley, lately of St. Regis Falls, has innocently gafB&4L unpleasant notoriety at Oswego Center, by marrying Harold G. Tonkm, a young man under 21 years, to Eugenie Bashford, a chorus girl in the Weber & Fields Company. It turned out afterward that young Tonkin had one wife already living, from whom it is claimed he*has not secured a divorce, and that is wh^te^fhe unpleasantness comes in. 1$e parents of his first wife took her from him on the fourth day of the honeymoon, and his parents snatched him from the arms of his new flame as soon as they learned the fact of the mar- riage. Young Tonkin's father had him arrested on the charge of stealing a two- dollar pin just to get possession of bios, then gave bail for him and took him to the paternal homestead. Miss Bashford denied that she had married Tonkin or .that she bad ever been connected with a show company, and Rev. Mr. Kelley de- clined to state wbetber he had married them or not until compelled to do so, ae cording to an Oswego dispatch, on the witness stand. Tonkin's father is mana- ger of the Pittsburgh Oil Well Supply Co ! s big iron plant at Oswego for a salary of $12,000 a year, and young Tonkin was employed there asadraughtsman at $1,500 a year. It seems that the young man, with a crowd of kindred spirits, met Miss Bashford for the first time in Syracuse on the night of May 28th. There were a few cold bottles after the show, and then Miss Bashford left with her company to tour the State. On Sunday of last week she returned to Syracuse and again met Mr. Tonkin, going on Monday to Oswego, where they haye been enjoying a very brief honeymoon. They Shot a Bear. Last week Wednesday, Addison Webb, of Malone, and Benjanxin Webb, of Bell- mont Center, brothers, went banting in tbe vicinity of what is known as the pin- nacle in that town, and suddenly ran onto a large male black bear, which they pro- ceeded- to fill with buck shot. Bruin was rather poor in flesh* but utter he wa$ kill- ed, it was estimated that he would weigh $50 pounds. The animal did not show much fight. * James Hayden has sold bis place on Park street to Lake Fountain who works for Rasbford, for 1X3* ,^, v •\''-•' • The lot*s of John Hill on bis Brush ton chair factory is estimated at $15,000.

Tbe New York Central carried 180 ex- cursionists from Montreal to New York Friday and Saturday. The excursionists were mostly members of the St. John Baptist* organization who went to the Metropolis to attend the 50th anniversary, or golden jubilee, of the New York society. A special train was put on Friday to ac- commodate the excursionists. The summer passenger service on the Mohawk & Malone Railroad will be in- augurated on Sunday, Jane 17th. Just what tbe service will be has not yet been definitely determined, but it will no' doubt include one extra train each way between Malone and Utica as formerly, giving three trains a day coming and going from ^Utica to Malone. Walton. Starks & Co., the well-known hardware, tin and plumbing firm, of Sar- anac Lake, have dissolved partnership by mutual consent. Mr. Walton, who is supervisor of the town, goes into business with H. H. Tousley, under the firm name of Walton & Tousiey, and Messrs. Starks and Callanan continue business at the old stand under the name of G. L. Starks . Company. St. Lawrence couoty secured both dele- gates from that congressional district to the i>emocratM'»*=4iatiofjal convention at Kansas City, because the delegates to tbe State convention from Saratoga, Fal- ton and Hamilton, counties could agree upon a delegate from that «od of the district.

Ogr^ensburg holds a special election on June 22nd to vote on propositions for raising sums aggregating $22,450, as fol- lows:—$8,500 for lighting streets, |3.0G0 for increasing tbe general fund, $ 1,000 for the park fund, $750 for hose and fire de- partment, $l,2U0- for a ho^e waaon aud chemical eogine oombiDed and $8,000 for highway fund. Such an assessment a-* this would frightgiuMaldne taxpayers. A Thousand Island Pa>k resident states tha*- tbe water in the St. Lawrence is higher this year than usual.

Vegetation in the parks and on the Iglaods is more backward than it has been for many years. Canadian government engineers are engaged making a survey of the St. Law- rence river from Kingston to Montreal, with a viesv to deepening the channel to fourteen feet. They expect to get down as far as Prescott this season and figure th&t it will be well on in November when they reach that point. The remainder of the work is to be gone on with next sum- mer. The surveyors have already been down the river as far as Brockville obtain ing information. An estimate of tbe cost of such work will be submitted to the government. The Canadian St. Regis Indians were given a new section of land on the w Snye\ recently, which was purchased some time ago by the Canadian government. It was divided into eight lot« of 15 'acres each and allotted to those who di& not p a homestead by the drawing of cats. The Indians seemed perfectly satisfied with the result. They held a pow wow last week over tbe question of allowing the Dominion government to build a lock-up on the reservation. Aft«r a hot discus- sion they decided not %q do it, . Many of the Indiana-claimed >bat>, not being citf- jsens of tbe Dominion*, thpf ought not to be re<jair«d to \donate the land for tbe pnrposej and some hot-beads advised tbe use o'f f orce to prevent its erection. Quite a njisiber of Auae^ricAn Indians were pres- ent/itf is said, who.urged opposition to h# vernment, thus adding futl xo the Lake and $10.60 from Tupper Lake.

Willie Gilbert, of Ogdenabarg, nine years old, was leading the family cow to pasture Thursday evening by a rope near- ly 40 feft long which he wound around Ms aecfe and shoulders. Tbe cow became frightened and started on a run, snaking the boy over the pavements for several blocks. A crowd finally stopped the cow, but tba^by was by that time unconscious, the ropfe having tightened around hia neck. His clef hiog was in shreds and bis body covered with bruises. It is thought tbat be will recover. The Dundee correspondent of tbe Hun- tingdon Gleaner says that when Demers, the Italian, who was charged with tbe shooting of the St. Regis Indian, was arrested, people seemed glad because the line hotel was closed, but TETs was of short duration. Another Italian named Capello, who has been doing business at Ft. Covingtoo, has rented the place and seat an Italian there to attend to the busi- ness. He is already accused of selling liquor titwe, although when he renud the place he agreed not to do so. Some- body sold liquor to two children aged VZ and 9 yeavs the other day, and both were afterwards found in the road paralyzed. The Dundee council has taken the matter up on tbe complaint of the mother of the- children. The Canadian and American authorities ought to co-operate to close up the line wLiskey shops—every one of them, for- they know no law or restraint. The annual closing exercises at the In- stitution, for Deaf Mutes occurred Mondav evening and were attended by all of our . people wha could find room in the little chapel. After-prayer had been offered by Rev. A. C. Wilson, Superintendent Rider made a few remarks relating\to the school which are especially to be commended. He emphasized the fact that deaf mutes are exactly like other people, having per- fect senses and faculties, excepting oaly speech and hearing. He also spoke of the recent progress in teachiog deaf mutes to speak, and, referring to tbe invention of Mr. Hutchiason, said that while be did cot think It would ever be possible to restore hearing to those who were perfect- ly deaf by reason of structural defects in tke ear, it might be that many who could hear only a little might be greatly bene- fited. Hon. John I. Gilbert, president of the board of trustees, also spoke, dwell- ing particularly on the fact tbat this institution is a part of tbe public school system of the State, and not a char- ity. He said tbat the constitution of New York provide* that all children within the State shall have free education. that as the deaf are so few they cannot live at home and attend school as the hearing can, but mast be broagfat to- gether at a boarding school, that this in- stitution is simply a boarding school and these deaf mute pupils are simply enjoy- ing their fconstituti6aal rights in attend- ing it.
