VOL. XVI. No 249 POBT JBRVIS, ORANGB COUNTY, N. Y., MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1888. FRICK THREE CENTS OUR ASSEMBLY MMINEE H IS KEMAKKS BEFORE THE M ID- IHiETOWIf CONVENTION. Confidence and Hard Work W ill W in the Day— T h e Candidate Pledges H im self to Support the Saxton Electoral B ill. W ill Be Faithful to Interests of the District. After having been nominated at Middle- town on Saturday last, Mr. Charles St. John, I'r., appeared before the convention and said that he thanked it for the honor conferred. He had hoped that some other candidate might be named, but if it was the wish of the convention he would accept the nomination and go in to win. That could be easily accomplished if the re publicans could be inspired with the same confidence they now have that Harr'son will be elected as President, Warner Mil ler would be our next Governor, that Mr. Johnson would be our next Sheriff, that Mr. Taggart would be our next County Clerk, that Moses D, Stivers would be our next Reprtsentative in Congress, John J. Beattie would be our next County Judge. In parts of the district there has been a large defection from the democratic nom inee during the past three years, and it would be equally as large this year as heretofore. Ernest work would surely defeat the democratic nominee. Regard ing his position upon state issues, he would endeavor to fitly represent the dis trict, and pledged himself to support the Saxton Electoral Reform bill. Mr. Greene while voting for that bill, had said he did so not thinking it would pass the Legisla ture in its present shape. In other words he had voted for a bill which did not meet his approval All the reforms which had been made in the election and registry laws had been made by republican legisk- tures and they would take no steps back ward and he would act in unison with the party to that end. There were other quMtions upon which he would take is sue with Mr. Greene, which could not be discussed at length at the present time. If elected he would endeavor to represent his district with fidelity to the interests. Before adjourning the chairman ap pointed as the Assembly Committee : Ohas. J. Boyd of Wallkill J. W. Gott of Goshen and J. Harding of Port Jervis. HTMENEAX. Tbe Marriage of “Col.” B e im e tat Geneseo Ne-w York.

Y., will interest tbe numerous friends and relatives of “Col.” Bennet whose marriage it announces : To-day occurs the marriage of O. 0. Beimet, the popular station agent of the Erie road at this place and Miss Lizzie Clancy also of this village. It is under stood that the newly WCddcd couple will take a wedding trip to New York and on their return reside in this village. Both of the contracting parties are well known in this village and their hosts of friends extend to them, as does the Republican, nest wishes for a long, happy and prosper ous wedded life. Mr. Bennet is now at the residence of his father in this village, where he will re main the rest of this week. We join the Republican in extending congratulations to the wedded pair.

W k a t Is Being Done on the ExcUange H o tel on Front Street. One of the most thorough improve ments in the way of repairs that has been made in this village this season is just about completed on the Exchange Hotel in St. John’s block on Front street. Be sides a large addition on the rear of tbe building, providing for a kitchen, wash room, and large sleeping rooms in the second story, the whole building has been newly floored, and will be plastered and papered. A U nion reporter called at tbe place this morning and found that the bouse, when the present repairs shall have been completed, will be one of the best ar ranged houses in town for hotel purposea The front room will be especially inviting as a sitting room and reading room. At each side of the hall gentlemen’s and ladies’ toilet rooms are neatly fitted up, and wiU compare favorably with most of the first-class hotels of towns of this size. The bar-room too, is undergoing repairs that will add materially to its appearaoce. The bar is just being completed by Mr. Jacob Nyce, who, by the way, has charge of the whole improvement, and who is doing justice to the job, as well as his own reputation as a workman. T h e bar is made of pine and covered with chestnut. The top will be finished in oil and varnished, and the panels will be Stained with mahogany and cherry. The bar is first-class in every particular and has the advantage of being 70 per cent, cheaper than Mr. Cole could duplicate it for in New York city. POND EDDY ITEMS. The Banner IiOdge o f the Independent Order o f Good Templars. P ond E ddy , Oct. 23.— “Still waters run deep ” is no more true of the beautiful resting place of the waters of the Dela- known as Pond Eddy than it is of the in habitants of the quiet little village bearing that name. Many will doubtless be surprised to learn that it supports the banner lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars of Sullivan eoenty, having a membership of 111. It is named Reformation, No. 103 and while the number of its reforma tions will not reach that figure yet, it has done and is still doing good work, both in the dissemination of its principles in the entire community and the reformation of many who pronounce their blessings upon it for learning through its teachings that there is a better way to live than by put ting into their months that which steals away their brains. It is presided over by Mr. H. B. Ailing- ton one of the bright lights of this hope ful hamlet, and Mr. O. W. Maxwell of blue stone fame is an ardent laborer and past officer. An addition to the rear of their ball has recently been built for the accommodation of a stage with scenery. It is four and a half years old and has neither failed to hold its meetings at the appointed time nor a death nor a ser ious case of illness. With a good treasure and an efficient corps of officers the! lodge is doing fine work. Mr. S. S. Hasten has m his front yard two large apple trees that were planted more than 70 years ago by Oapt.

A bold attempt was mar’e to burglarize the office of Rosencrans & Coonroo’s coal yard on Jersey avenue, last Saturday night. The thieves gained entrance to the office by pulling off two iron bars from the rear window and raising the sash. It was evidently the intention of the burglars to blow open the safe, as the broken points of two drills were found lying on the floor and a third was broken off in the safe, and a piece of fuse was also found on the floor They had suc ceeded in drilling a hole about a quarter of an inch in diameter through to the in terior of the safe and broke the drill in drawing it out. The thieves bad every thing in readiness for their exit from the yard with their booty. They had placed a ladder up to the coal house, from which they could easily jump to the track. This is the second attempt to fob this office within the past month. Had the burglars succeeded in blowing open the safe Saturday night they would not have made a very big haul as the firm had made I unusually large deposit on Saturday. The evidences of the burglary was dis covered Sunday by one of the hostlers, who went to the office to attend to the DANCING SCHOOI.. Madame Jurisch’s dancing school is opened every Monday afternoon from 4 to 6 for children, and from 8 to 10 for adult classes.

Henry Dutcher, after which Mr. Gallaway ad dressed the Order, considering the sub ject death, as regarded by teachers of natural philosophy, compared with the Bible teachings, showing the superority of the latter over the former. Proving that the only real satisfactory solution of the problem was as stated in the word of This was followed by an eloquent eulogy on Tlfbmas Wildey, and a. graphic presentation of the principles of Odd Fellowship, and concluding with an earnest and impressive appeal to all, to emulate the character of the man, and practice the principles of the noble order.

HE BETRAYED SECRETS HOW ANTONIO PLACCIMIO MET H IS DEATH- H e Had Belonged to an Italian Secret Society and Paid the Penalty for Transgressing Its R u les— Confessions o f Three Prisoners. N ew Y oek , Oct. 31. —Francisco lata, Natale Sabatano and Giuseppe Caniz- zaro, who have been occupying cells in the Tombs on suspicions of being con cerned in tbe murder of Antonio Flac- cimio, whose dead body was.found in the street near Cooper Union a week ago, have all made confessions to Inspector Byrnes about the murder. Flaccimio was marked out for death for some time back. He belonged to a society known as the Mafle. It punishes by death any member who divulges its secrets or gives information to the police concerning the identity of any of its members who have violated the laws of the land. Flaccimio had done both and knew he was going to die. He arranged with his son to carry on his business in case of his sudden dis appearance. On Sunday, October 14, he was enticed into the Italpau restaurant at No. 8 St. Mark’s Flace^ and a game of cards was made the ground for a quarrel between him and Carlo Quarteraro. Carlo and Vincenzo Cartero followed Flaccimio into the street Francisco lata says that he sought to prevent the murder. Vicenzo made a lunge at Flaccimio and J^ta thrust him aside. Carlo Quarteraro jumped forward and plunged a dirk into Flaccimio’s breast. Ti|h:e were altogether nine Italians on the scene and all with the exception of Carlo returned to the res taurant and took the oath of secresy. In spector Byrnes says that several reputable Italians have to belong to the Mafie as a matter of protection to themselves. The police expect lo have the murderer and his brothers under arrest shortly. A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR. A Drunken B iot and no Police Inter ference. Yesterday afternoon a crowd of drunken and disorderly darkies gathered on the corner of Main and Pike streets adjoining the Park Hotel and became engaged in an altercation with two drunken whits men. iyotds led to blows and the darkies set upon one of ihe white men, who ran away. The other one, however, stood his ground and for twenty minutes there was an un interrupted fight, which was witnessed by a large crowd of bystanders, who in the meantime had gathered on the spot. Dur ing all this time there was no police inter ference. The guardians of law and order, whose duty it is to prevent such disgrace ful exhibitions on our street®, were con veniently absent. We are not liisposed to be too exacting, but such affairs as that of yesterday after noon are certainly incicative of a very culpable want of zeal upon the part of our police officers and call loudly for reproof. We but voice the unanimous sentiment of decent citizens in saying that our police officers are expected to preserve order on the streets; if they fail to do so they should be removed and more vigilant of ficers appointed in their places.
