llniati VOL. XVI. No. 98. POET JEKVI8, OKANOB COUNTY, N. Y., WEDNESDAY EVENING, APEIL 25, 1888. PKIOB THESE CENTS A HOSPITAI^IEEDED ON3E OF THE IM F E KATIVE DEMANDS OP FORT JERVIS. Some of tlie Reasons W hy there Should be a Place Here for the Reception and Care o f the Injured and t h e Hom eless Sick—A Case In Point. Oae of the great needs of Port Jervis is ft hospital. Last Sunday night a man was so maimed by the cars that nothing but the best of care could possibly save his life. This care he oould not receive, because, being a stranger, he had no friend to take And so he died. But the Poormaster, to whom the case was reported, took charge of the man and diligently tried to get the unfortunate fellow-being under shelter and in com fortable quarters. At every house he was met with refusal until he came to the Ellis House. Tnere the man was taken in ; but it was too late. Perhaps there is no other place in this section of the state where a public hos pital is so much needed as at this point. The railroad is constantly killing or maiming people, many of whom are either friendless boarders or total stran gers, and when the cruel wheels or the death-dealing bumpers have done their work, there is no one who desires to be “ bothered ” with the care and expense attending the reception of the poor suf ferers into their houses. The case of John Hanley, alluded to above, well il- lustrates this fact. There have been many other such cases. It is possible that through the united efforts of the physicians of the place, with the co-operation of the Erie company, a hospital could be provided. It is worth trying for, at any rate. SAWINQ H IS WAV THROUGH. An Attem p t to Break Jail Discovered ndtliiii Tbree M inutes o f Success. A man known as O’Brien, who Is a prisoner at Belvidere, N. J., on a charge of burglary at Pfaillipsburg, H. J., made his third unsuccessful attempt to break jail on Saturday night, and if given three minutes more would have been free. With watch spring saws he cut away the lock on the door of his cell and reached the day room. Iron bars stopped his passage into the new jail, but he cut through them without attracting their no- Then the great door of the new jail was the only obstacle between him and free dom. He got a small hole in the plate and was making fine progress, when the Sheriff making his midnight tour, dis covered him and, summoning the keep ers, overpowered him. ON THE D . & H . OANAU. Boats M aking Good Tim e—Advertising on the Boats. Over six hundred boats are in use on the Delaware & Hudson canal. There arrived at tide water at Eddy- Tille on Saturday thirty-one Delaware & Hudson canal boats laden with lour thous and and twenty tons of coal There has been but little detention to boats on the Delaware & Hudson canal this season so far, on account of breaks along the “ big ditch.” The Delaware & Hudson canallers make ft few dollars each season by allowing pat ent medicine sign boards to be tacked on their boats .—Kingston Freeman. GET THERE EAREY. Bvcrytlilng Ready for the Prod\iction of the “ Chimes of Norm andy.” To-morrow evening we shall have the pleasure of witnessing the first rendition of the “ Bells of Oorneville\ by the Port Jervis Amateur Opera Company. We learn from the director that the company is in good form and will give a very cred itable performance. The new scenery is here and in place, the costumes are on hand, and a grand dress rehearsal this evening will finish the preparatory work. We are requested to announce that the curtain will rise on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, and those who come fifteen or twenty minutes late will lose j ust that much of the opera. This promptness is necess ary, as the opera is a long one, requiring nearly three hours for its production, and it is to be sung entire—not a single line being omitted. It will probably be the finest perfor mance and the best audience ever seen In Port Jervis. ENEARGING THE EXCHANGE HOTEE. FROM N'EIG t HBORS FARMERS FOR PROTECTION. A EOOK BACKWARD.

[No nomination]. ConsIderaWo Addition Being Made tkereto, A Contemplated Improvem ent. The Exchange Hotel on Front street, John Landegan proprietor, is being con siderable enlarged, an addition 24x30 feet, with two stories, now being made thereto. The addition is in the rear. On the first floor there will be a cook-room, pantry and wash-room, and on the second floor sleeping rooms. The cook-room is to be arranged in the most convenient manner possible, so that all dishes may be passed out to the din- ning-room with the least trouble. It will be finished in a workman-like manner and will be furnished with all modem improvements. Under the new part a cellar has just been added, making still greater the ca pacity of the house. The carpenter work is being done under the charge of builder Jacob Nyce. A further improvement contemplated at this hotel, is the lowering of the first floor so that it will be nearly even with the sidewalk. No modern business house can longer afford to hide itself away up stairs, and the owners of all such build ings will in time find it necessary to put the main business room just as near the street as possible. 1860 -Apr. 23.

These enterprising peo ple will let the house to any wealthy snob who desires to give a ball, and it can be hired at an inclusive charge, which will not only cover rent, light, servants, deco rations and music, but also smart dancing men (provided by the man of fashion), eligible females (provided by the woman of title), and a flrat-rale supper (provided by the wine merchant).

KXEEED BY CIGARETTE SMOKING An 11-year-old son of Joseph Seatbam died at Tamaqua, Pa., suddenly on Satur day. Tuesday it was decided to hold a post mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death, for the boy had been in apparently good heallh up to a few mo ments of bis death. The physicians de- cid&l that death was caused by enlarge ment of the heart, due to excessive smok ing. A lady says: “ She who steals my hus band steals trssb.

Arrangements to H a n g H im on TUnrsday for K illing Mrs. K andle. The enclosure by the side of the jail at Woodbury, N. J., in which Dunham is to be hanged, was built Tuesday and the scaffold set up. The sound of the ham mering by the carpenters could be dis tinctly heard in all parts of the jail, but Dunham said nothing about it, and if he noticed the sounds and knew what they meant he did not betray the fact. Pastor J. Judson Pierson of the Baptist church, whose visits for the last few days have been very acceptable to Dunham, says that the condemned man seems both penitent and tiusting. Dunham continues to have a good appe tite, and in general appears to be in good health and spirits. W E DDED EAST EVENING. A Very Pleasant Affair In the Upper Part o f Town—Greenhalgh and Griggs. A number of friends assembled at the house of Mrs. John Griggs on Pall street, last evening, to witness the marriage of her daughter. Miss Aildie Griggs, and Samuel Greenhalgh.

WBSTBBOOKvm-E, April 23,—The cold winds for the past few days remind us very forcibly of snowbanks. Notwith standing all the cold, we were presented yesterday with a very nice bouquet of trailing arbutus, by one of the little misses of the place, Halie Decker. The Tribune comes to us this week with the notices of the death of many noted and prominent men. We often stop and wonder if the boys of to-day are going to reach the standard of those who are passing away. Mrs. Jane Weygant returned yesterday from Bast Branch, where she has spent the winter with her son Charles. Miss Jane Arthur is quite sick at the residence of Geo. McFarland.

Miss Fannie made many friends who will regret her depart- W hy Our Agricultural Populatlou Should Cling to the Existing System. The position of the Connecticut farmers does credit to their native acuteness. There is not a more intelligent set of ag riculturists in the world than those of New England. The word Yankee is a synonym for shrewdness and penetration and our Yankee farmers can be trusted to understand a politico-economic question as clearly as any soil tillers on the lace of the earth. The typical Yankee looks out first for number one, and whoever has any patriotic Yankee blood in his honest veins wants to see America prosperous first of all. If we allowed free trade British theories what would be the con dition of our agricultural population ? The British, if they had their way, would have all our population devote itself to farming until our whole vast ter ritory was placed under the plow. Prom their stand-point we shculd let manufact uring alone until all our so.l was under cultivation. Suppose we should adopt this idea, what would be the result ? Every, body would be raising farm produce- enough for himself and some to sell; but as everybody would have enough for him self whom could he sell his surplus to ? There would be no home market; and if there were a moderate home demand for food stuffs there would be such an abundance of them, and so much competi tion between farmers to sell, that prices would be driven away down into the ground .—Kortoich Bulletin BASE BAEE NEW S.
