Eight more Chinamen were captured at Malone Junction Thursday evening vhile attempting to smuggle themselves hrough to New York. They were brought rom Canada to Whipplevi-lle and expect- ed to take the early evening train there, but which they missed. In this way theyt expected to escape inspection between^ Malone and Montreal. They then return- etLto Malone intending to take the next train south. Deputy Shu felt espied them as they left the train and finding that they had been brought back here from Whip- pi eviJle, arrested the whole batch. For- tunately U..S. Disk Attorney Curtis, of Binghamton, and, Assfe. Dist. Attorney Owen, of Port Henry, were in town and the deputations of all the Chinamen were taken that night. The next morning they were arraigned before Commissioner Pad,- dock, M. A. Martin appearing for the celestials. Tickets for New York had been bought for them at Malone on Wednesday and were in their possession. One miss- ing number in the set indicated that a ticket was missing and is supposed to be in the possession of some person who was steering them through, who the officers have reason to believe lives in Montreal. In the case of five of the Chinamen Mr. Martin admitted that they had no defense and they were ordered deported. The other three will staedr^rtai and their cases were adjourned until Aug. 2nd. It is be- lieved that the men were hid in the woods near Malone during the day, Thursday, and taken to the station at Whippleville in a covered meat wagon. Inquires at the latter place were made regarding the dis- tance to the station by the driver of such a rig but no Chinamen were in sight. Evidently they miscalculated the condition of the road, which is sandy and up. grade, for they arrived at the station about eight minutes after the train south had departed. If they had caught this train they would have stood a good chance of getting through to New York. Tfre government officials are on the track of the parties responsible for bringing them into the country*. Ten Chinamen had their cases completed be- fore U. S. Commissioner Paddock Thurs- day. There are still over sixty in the jail.

Nearly all tfie business firms who were urned out at Potsdam recently have be- gun the erection of new buildings, notably those on Barnhart's Island. It is reported that a celebrated French demist, Dr. Crotte, will soon establish a sanitarium at Saranac Lake^* He has in- dented an electric method of curing con- iumption. Estimates made by hop dealers in Wa- :erville indicate a shortage of 50,000 bales over last year. A letter from J. J. Car- penter at North Yakima, Wash., says th¥ r ards are looking well there and that an tverage crop is expected. Burlington is to have a street fair and midsummer carnival during the week of August 20, with coaching, band and bicy- cle parades, merchants doing business in artistic booths on the street, -a midway and many other attractive features. Charles Morning, a lumberman of High- market, Lewis county, had his right eye put out one mornin^jfest week by a load- ed cigar given to hiipdRjy a friends Morn- ing lighted the cigar without suspicion, and after he had smoked it for a moment it blew up, the concussion being so great as to destroy the sight of the eye. A PLEASANT HO7IE WEDDING. The wedding of Millar D. Shonyo and Miss Cornelia Arnold, which occurred July iStfa, at the borne of the bride's mother, was a very graceful and pretty one, and was witnessed by about a hun- dred guests. The bride was gowned in white Swiss with bodice of insertion and ribbon.. She wore a pearl sunburst, the gift of W. K. Ferguson, of Algona, Iowa. Her bouquet of pink and white carnations was the gift of the Y. P. S. 0. E. of the Methodist church, of which she is presi- dent. Miss Maiijde Morse, of Burke,acted as maid of honor; Miss Margaret Miller, of Tupper Lake, as bridesmaid, and W. E. Block, of Boston, as best man. The wed- ding party entered the parlors to the Lohengrin Wedding March, played by Miss Bernice O'Connor. They stood trader a canopy of princess pine, from which was suspended a bell of field daisies. The many gifts were evidence of the high regard in which both Mr. and Mrs. Shonyo are held. Among them was a heavy Morris chair with quartered oak frame, the gift of the E. A. Newell Co., of Ogdensburg, for which Mr. Shonyo travels. Among the out of town guests were Mr, and Mrs. B. H. Wilson and Mrs. F. H, Howard, of Chicopee Falls, Mass., S. W Ferguson, of Worcester, N. Y., Rev. and Mr*. E. F. Felton and Miss Carrie Felton, of Tupper Lake. A Jefferson County Bear Story, Fred Heslop is a teamster in the employ of Robert Gill, of the Gill House at Car- thage. A few days ago he went to the Hickoy mill in the town of Diana after a load of lumber. A portion of the road leads through quite a dense forest. He was returning on this road when he dis covered some animal |ump out of the road into the bushes. ; Having a curiosity to know what it was he jumped off his load and 'entering the bushes discovered small bear cub. \ He struck it on the head with a good sized stone and it fell and straightened out as if dead. He threw it on his wagon and drove on. He hadn't gone far before the cub came, to life as it were and made for Heslop with wide open mouth, displaying a set of savage looking teeth. Heslop escaped by running out on the wagon neap between the horses. The cub didn't venture after bin* and finally jumped off the load and disappeared. Heslop had experienced a pretty good fright and was congratulating himseii npon his avoiding a tussle with his cub- ship when a large black object loomed up in the road a short distance in front o: him. The team had scented danger and had stopped of their own accord with ears erect and quite badly scared. The object proved to be the father^or mother of the cub, and Heslop wasn't at all in clined to tackle the big fellow, or even demand his share of the road. The bear didn't appear to be in a hurry to get out of the road and Heslop wasn't anxious,at ail to drive on. So he waited, keeping his eye on the bear, and at the same time hav- ing spotted a tree nearby which he inCfnd- ed to ascend in case the bear took it into his head to show its friendly disposition in the shape of a bug. His bearship finally strollepLoff into the bushes and Heslop got out of there with ail possible speed. He says that he saw many bear tracks in there. James I*. Clark, 78 years of age, ol North Russell, St. Lawrence county, was thrown from a borserake by a runaway horse a little over a week ago and died a couple of days after from^be effects of the accident. His son endlfrvored to induce him not to operate the rake but he insist- ed, Mr. Clark was unconscious directly after the fall, butaf fcerward recovered his senses suffleleutlyTo state that he thought a pin holding a piece of cloth over a chafed spot on the horse's back worked around so that It stuck into the animal and caused it to ran. The deceased was a brother ol Mrs. Albert Man, of Malone. The contract for completing the State dam at Saranae Lake and constructing a lock therein has been awarded to Jamts H. Connor.?, of Fulton, X. Y., for f 7.412. Lightning struck a tree on the farm of Hon. E, W. Abbott at Fowler last Tues- day evening, killing twelve cows which were huddled together during the storm, under it] The wedding of Alma Louisa, daughter of L. W. Eldredge, of Canton, and Mr. , W. W. Haile, recording clerk in the Can- ton county clerk's office, is announced to occur on Wednesday evening. The bride \is a niece of Frank A. Eldredge, of this plaice. Mary Dixon, four years old, was drown- ed in a cistern in the rear of a neighbor's house at Oswego Thursday night. The child had accompanied her mother on a neighborly call, and while playing about the cistern fell in. Her body was discov- ered by a playmate five minutes later. Danif 1 Abert, who lives on the St. Law- rence, three miles west of Massena, cap- tured a tortoise the ot,her day whose shell is over 15 inches long. On the shell was found the inscription still distinct: \D. Underwood, May, 1844.\ Fifty-six years has expired since the inscription was cut. These little creatures are known to live to be very old. The question of extending the Ogdens- burg electric railway to Waddington, a distance of fifteen miles, is being discuss ed. We trust that the promoters of the or next fall. scheme to build a road from Malone to Hotel Ayers a couple of years ago are riot behind the movement. NO 30.

There are several new sailing yachts on St. Regis Lake this year, all of the same pattern, and yacht racing has become one of the regular amusements at Paul Smith's hotel. The result of the races depends almost entirely on skillful handling. The Malta, manoeuvred by Archibald Rogers, came off victorious, in the first test. Races are now booked for every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon till the close of the season. Silver cups will be awarded the victors in each contest. Cat boat races*\fours take place every Friday afternoon. Bishop Morrison and family, of Duluth, Minn., are spending the summer at their summer home on Ghateaugay Lake. The bishop keeps there a regular arsenal of Winchesters and Marlins, none of which he now uses. He was formerly very fond of gunning, but of late seems to confine his amusement to long rambles or a quiet row upon the lake. On each Sunday dur- ing the summer Bishop Morrison holds services in the parlors of the hotel near his camp. Not long ago he began work- ing for the building of a church on the lake, and he has thus far succeeded in purchasing a site and securing the sub- scription of a portion of the sum required for the work. It is expected that work will be begun during the summer upon the edifice. Pierre LeBlanc's little hand book of Indian mythology contains many good ones. One of the characters that appears in it is an old Indian named Jo. who lived in the early days of the country, on the bauk of Sucker Brook near Wadding- ton. Jo. had found a dusky Indian maiden who was induced to go before a justice of the peace of Waddington, -Judge\ Richards. It seems Jo's, mat- rimonial venture was not blessed, for in two or three months Jo. was back again before the justice with bis better half. **Grood morny squire,\ said he. \Good morning Jo,\ said Richards, \What can I do for you.\ \ Me want you unmarry me.\ \ But Jo,\ said Richards, \I can't do that, you and your wife are one.\ The Indian shrugged his shoulders and ex- claimed, \mean' my wife one?\ Cer- tafnly,\ said the justice. \Ugh said Jo. as he turned away in disgust, with his squaw, \you come by raa house some- time, you tink there was twenty of it.\ While workmen were employed on the Lazier Motor Co. dam at Indian Rapids, on the Saranac River, Pittsburgh, last week, they found an old gun barrel, very much corroded wi$h rust, which was un- doubtedly a relic or~T&ef IBrffroPIatts- burgh campaign of 1814. The British during their stay there of about five days, ending with the day of the battle en the lake, Sept. 11, made three persistent at- tempts to cross the Saranac. First at the lower bridge on Bridge street, which was repulsed. Second h% the second bridge, which was located near the southwest corner of Riverside cemetery. Here there was sharp fighting and the British were prevented from crossing. Third at \the ford\ at Indian Rapids, near the site of theLofcter dam. Here a company of British succeeded In crossing and march- Ing nearly to the-Salmon river. There was considerable fighting at this ford,and the old gun barrel, which was found oat towards the middle ol the river probably belonged to a British soldier who was killed. Tb* gun barrel is about three feet long and could probably tell a stir- ring 8torj,if it could speak. Jerome Smith, of Colton, had an ad- venture a few days ago, that he says he does not care to have repeated. While in the woods he saw a bear, fired at him and hit him. The bear made straight for Mr Smith and closed with him. No^. being able to shoot again, Mr. Smith used bis gun as a club and an exciting boxing boui ensued. Bruin proved clever as a boxer, until the hunter landed one on the bear's jaw, which caused him to drop on al and retreat. The village of Three Mile Bay, near Watertown, came very near being\ licked up by flames last week Tuesday, the con flagration being caused by a parlor match which had accidentally been dropped bj some careless smoker in a hay loft. Th« landlord of the Hall House, while throw ing down hay from the loft, stepped on a match and was startled by the crackling sound. In an instant the whole mow < bay was ablaze. About half the businei part of the village was destroyed. _ It took over a week of heroic exertion to get the steamer Spartatr off the roeki. at the head of the Lachine Rapids, upon which the boat was run by the captain to save her from a worse fate, the ruddei chain having parted. Saving the vessel is pronounced the most skillful wrecking feat ever accomplished on the St. Law- rence. On account of the rapids there tug boats could not be used to tow off the steamer but wrecking vessels were anchor- ed in the still waiar^above and wire cables attached to tb€spartan, which were slow- ly wound up by powerful steam winches aboard the tugs, the Spartan being in this manner literally dragged inch by inch from the rocks and released. The Lake Champlain sea serpent has again made its appearance, this time near Cedar Beach, a resort twelve miles south of Burlington, Mrs. Wm. E. Hagar and a party of friends being in camp there. Wednesday morning last, when the laki was unusually calm, Mrs. Hagar noticed about half a mile distant* a peculiar dis- turbance upon the otherwise smooth sur face Qf the lake. -Sure enough a \white cap\ bad appeared as though a strong wind might be blowing in that spot alone. Her son, Clifford, and Everett Towne were close at hand and both were called to the cottage and there witnessed what they hope but never expect to see again the Lake' Champlaiu sea serpent. By this time, the animal's head, which, as described by all four, was more resem bling an animal than a serpent, had appear ed above the surface and in advance of the troubled waters. The movement was toward the south and the thing was in view for a fnll five minutes after the young people joined Mrs. Hagar. After moving rapidly for several hundred j, it disappeared beneath the surface of the water, which again became calm. Mrs. Hagar and the young people all agreed in the description of the strange visitor, and aver that the head was several feet out of the water and very large. •• Li title could be seen of the body owing to the disturbed condition of the water and no approximate size of the monster can be given even by comparison. This circum- stance has revived the old, old tales of some curious monster inhabiting toe deep waters of Lake Champlain, only this, time with more of the color of substantia- tion, and comes from a source that is re- liable and by no means desirous of noto- riety. The western rains have been copious and timely'; 'The corn crop has taken a fresh departure, and the farmers look out thriving community greatly needed there. A house boat is cruising in LakeChatn- plaiu, anchoring mainly at the mouth >f forest streams or as far up as it can go. t is of large size, its cabin looking iike a Rmall cottage. This is a novelty on Lake Champlain, asd it will doubtless be large- ly copied in the future. Mrs. William Cookingham,of Cortland, '. Y., had her h usband arrested for beat - ng her. When arraigned the judge told ler that she could dispose of the case as she saw fit and that any sentence she im- posed would stand. Cookingham was convicted, and his wife sentenced him to thirty days, in jail. The sentence was confirmed by the court. Several hundred Finns, the advance uard of an immigration which will num- ber thousands, are headed for the Arkansas v T alley in Kansas, where New Yor^i ageuts, who are now there, are making Arrange- ments to locate them. These S^J^IS arej now on their way from their own New York, and it is desired to get land for them in the golden wheat belt of Kansas. There will be a reunion of the Veterans' Association of the 14th N, Y. Heavy Ar illery &i Gouverneur Aug. 8th and yth. Prof. Kimball, of Amsterdam, a member of that regiment, will be present. An interesting program is being prepared and a reception for all the old comrades will be held on the first day? It is hoped that every member of the 14th will be resent. Several accidents hare lately happened by the bursting of compressed air spray- ers. Silas Carey, of Potsdam, was using one which did not work well, and he thought the air was exhausted. While pumping it up the machine exploded, smashing the cast iron handles into many pieces and blowing out the bottom of the can. His left hand and wrist were, badly bruised and sprained. Another man near Norwood is said to have had the flesh severely bruised from his- band to his elbow in a similar way and accidents have been[\\\reported' from other parts of St. Lawrence county. The Thousand Island Park Association has awarded to William P. Rogers, man- ager of the Park View House, a franchise for the erection of bath houses and a to- boggan slide, with suitable provision for bathing facilities. The shore has a grad- ual slope into the water for about 100 feet with a good sandy bottom and the toboggan slide will have an elevation of 25 feet. The depth of the water in the vicinity of the slide will vary from three and one-half to six feet.. Twenty bath houses will be built near the toboggan slide. They will be lighted by electricity and will be open day and night. An old lady stopping at one of the hotels there offered five dollars for the privilege of the first ride. In some sections of the State farmers Mannsville, while aged 12, running residence, alongside a train at Sackets Harbor last Thursday afternoon, on his way to meet his mother, slipped and fell under the cars. His left leg was cut off and be was badly mangled. He died late Thursday night. Several-rich Klondikers, with a million dollars in gold dust and nuggets arrived in Seattle last week on the City of Topeka. The steamship Garronne arrived at Gar- ronne, Wash., with $65,000 in dust from. Cape Nome and nine boxes containing 2,250 pounds of gold from Dawson. William McEchron. of Glens Falls, has been elected president of the Norwood Mfg. Co. in place of the late L. R. Ashley, who committed suicide a week ago. Mr. Ashley had lately been a victim of Bright'a disease and insommia, which is supposed to have compelled him to commit the deed. L revival of the project to extend the operations of the Western Union Tele- graph Company in the line of an improv- ed telephone service is announced. If the Western Union takes this step, the Postal company will inevitably be compelled to \follow suit,\ and then will follow an- other battle of the giants.—Free* Press. The Potsdam Courier & Freeman says concerning a well-known Malone young man: \Mr. Arthur Ijp. Dudey has purchas- ed and removed all the scrap iron from the ruins of the first island fire. There were about sixty tons of scrap. The big four-ton fly wheel from the knitting mill was taken out into a vacant lot and brok- en up with dynamite. Judge Lacombe, of the U. S. court, has decided that Neeley, the postal defaulter, cannot be extradited to Cuba without better proof of guilty than the mere in- dictment found against him. He insists that prdbable cause must in some way be sSown, though it is not necessary to bring witnesses from Cuba. Their sworn state- ments of the facts would be sufficient/ A most revolting crime was committed In Syracuse recently by William A. Rook. Rather than pay the expense of a decent, civilized funeral'Mr fcis new born babe, he stole the remains from his borne, took them Jkggthe basement of the Warner threw them into the furnace when the fireman was not looking. The fireman detected, the crime, opened the door of the firebox and from off the glow- ing coals raked a bundle in which enough, was left to be recognized as the remains of a child. The death was reported but no application for burial was made. An investigation followed. Rook was arrest- ed and held for the grand jury.—Water- town Standard. -*~* 'A noiseless and smokeless gun powder has been invented by a German of Hazle- ton, Pa. At a private exhibition few days ago the practicability of covery was made apparent. A shell loaded with his powder was fired at a target fifty yards away. The only sound indicating are purchasi lamps with the in- special deputy by United States Commis- sioner Rawson. March 19th I received seven letters, all written between Septem- ber 5th and December ltth, 1899.

The total loss in the Wintbrop fire is estimated-at |35,000. The fire was not discovered until the inside of the back room of the G. H. Russell store was all in flames. In the gale roofs took fire all over the place and it was a wonder the enter village was aot destroyed. The peo- ple pf Brasher turned out en to help tention of ptaetngthenTin front of their premises and maintaining them for their own and the public benefit. This is a good idea for general adoption. Under the provisions of the highway law \any person who, with the consent of the over- seer of the district, erects a street lamp in front of tha premises owned or occupied by him and causes the same to be kept burning the hours as the overseer directs must ba allowed by the overseer in abate- ment of the highway taxes assessed on the premises |6 annually or such portion of $6 as the annual highway taxes on such premises may be.\ Thus it will be seen that the town is prepared to meet the public spirited citizen half way in the cost of maintaining street lamps. The I nited states governrnentT\in ticipation of the necessity of sending every United States regular and volunteer that can be spared to China has been in- quiring of the State governments whether the militia could not be used, if necessary to man the fortifications and army posts in their respective States. The New York 'military officials declare that they could not, of course, man the guns of the forti- fications, but there seems to be no reason why they could not care for the posts, in which case the organizations not called out in the Spanish war would probably be designated. These are the Seventy- fourth, Seventh, Thirteenth and Twenty- third regiments and the Fourth, Tenth, Eleventh, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Twen- ty-third, Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Separate companies. As the Malone company is nearest the Platts- burgh post it would probably be ordered there. Mrs. Brush, of Ogdensburg, is in re- ceipt of a letter from her husband, who went to Cape Nome, Alaska, some time ago. It bears the date of June 11th. He says: \Daring the winter I did private nursing and received from $10 to day, until March 8th, when the City hospital was completed. 'I have been appointed superintendent ot it. On the , _ 31st day of May I was also appoint** stature is about the same v his celebrated tfefeir neighbors in Wiuthrop and did mag niScent work, the village having no fire ' jartment.

Russell, whose store standing across the street was destroyed, was at Lake 4 fozonia at the time and a special messenger *.w*as sent to carry the news to him. His store was one of the largest in St. Law- rence county and his loss is heavy. Geo. Russell wits burned about the head in try- ing to recover his account books from his store, and was driven oat by the flames before he could close his safe door. The ledgers and valuable papers connected with the store were all destroyed. lf Some of the older Ogdensbarg peo- ple,\ says the Advance, \ will recall when P. T.
