Over- come by a stroke of paralysis at 8:30 A. M., Mrs. Dashnaw grew weaker aad weaker and four hoars later at 12:30 she breathed her last. Mrs. Dashnaw was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Tronably and was born in Canada February 18, 1846. Her parents later moved into Peru, N. Y., and it was from this place ihat the deceased moved to this vil- lage thirty-three years ago. And dur- ing all these years she has been look- ed upon as an example of all that was good and virtuous. All citizens of her acquaintance were true friends and the long drawn out procession which followed her remains on the 3nal journey attested in a measure ;o the high esteem in which the good woman was held. The survivors mourn the passing of a true wife and a noble mother, and in their grief the sympathies of the populace goes forth. The deceased was a faithful mem- ber of St. Agnes Catholic Church, and was endeared to everyone with whom she had ever come in contact. Besides a husband, four sons and one laughter survive: Mrs. Charles Donovan, of Jay, N. Y.; Silas, of Ran- dolph, Vt.; Fred, Edgar and Walter, of this village, and one brother, Silas Trombly of Peru. The funeral was held from St. Ag- ies Church on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Father Savage con- lucting the services. After the high mass of requiem, Father Savage preached a practical and eloquent fu- neral sermon, taking for his text: \Give ye glory to the Lord your God, before it be dark, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains: you shall look for light, and he will turn it into the shadow of death, and into darkness.\—Jer. XIII: 16. The preacher reminded his hearers of the prophet's command to make preparation in the springtime and noontime of life and be ready at all times, lest darkness steal unawares. While comparatively a stranger of the deceased, he had perceived where- in she had taken advantage of youth, the noonday of life, as well as the de- clining years toward life's sunset in preparing her soul for immortality. He mentioned the great work she had performed as a Christian mother in teaching and rearing her flock to walk in God's holy pathway, and of the responsibility she assumed-in de- clining years and health of bringing up her grandchildren to a thorough understanding of God's Holy will and religion. She was ever faithful in sickness or sorrow, through sunshine or storm, in performing the duties which the church calls upon her chil- dren to do. The interment was in St. Agnes Cemetery. Charles Stickney, of Saranac Lake, was funer- al director. CRATER CLUB EN JOYED ITS BEST SEASON PROPRIETOR JOHN B.

DONAH October 1, the raofet successful sea- son it has ever had. This growing sunsBaer resort enter- prise on Lake Champlain is a credit to Essex County. Began by Mr. Burn ham in 1898, it has grown to a col- ony of forty-nine cottages with summer population of over three hun- dred persons. Tlie majority of the visitors keep house, but 125 take their Meals at the clab house, which is also the recre- ation center. During the past summer, cottages were rented to Secretary of the Inter- ior, Franklin D. Lane, Adolph C. Miller, one of the members of the Federal Banking Board, and George L. Dake of Cl«yeli©tlv Senator Bur- ton's law partner. ;£dais~-C More of Cincinnati, a brother-in-law of Presi- dent Taft, recently purchased one of Mr. Burnham*s cottages. Essex is fast eomteg to the front as one of the leading resorts of Nor- thern New York. The growth is substantial in character and the nat- uraf beauty of the place and its record for healthfulness warrant the belief that greater things are yet in store for this attractive lake section. NO CAUSE FOR ACTION IN WILLIAMS CASE Game Warden Made Complaint Against Edward Williams For Planting Minnow Traps in Lake Placid But Court Decided That There Was No Cause For Action And The Case Was Thrown Out The case of the State against Ed- ward Williams, which was tried at Elizabethtown on Wednesday was thrown out of court on the grounds of \no cause for action,\ It was al- leged by the State on complaint of •ante warden St. Clair that Edward Williams had planted minnow traps in Lake Placid. This suit was brought about eigh- teen months ago when persons were not allowed to plant minnow traps m the waters. The case was tried at Saranac Lake and later taken to Aibany where it was returned to the lower court. Since that time a new law has been passed in which minnow traps may be planted in the water. Francis B. Cantwell was counsel for the defend- ant and the manner in which he han- dled the case was very pleasing and satisfactory. See that it reads \Made in Amer- ica.'' The vultures are having their day. $400 AND COST FOR PATJliilSY DECISION HANDED DOWN ON THURSDAY ACCIDENT OF SEPTEMBER 16, 1913, DECIDED Machine Smashed Into Telegraph i*oie When Nurse Was Being Rushed To Train Which Would Carry Her To a Dying Sister |400 and cost was the decision hund- ed out by Judge Borst in the Jessup vs. Hennessy case, which was tried at Elizabethtown on Thursday. This case is well remembered by Lake Placid and it was with much in- terest that the eye was directed to- ward this trial. On Tuesday, Sep- tember 16, 1913, Patrick Hennessy volunteered to carry Miss Jessup, a trained nurse, who was stopping at the Catholic rectory, as a passenger in his car when she was unable to procure one at a local garage. The time was a few minutes be- fore train time and in the Sisters' Hospital at Saranac Lake her sister was near death's door. Pat attemp- ted to put his passenger on the train, and in doing so went at an unusual rate of speed. As he turned out from a vehicle in front of the Grand View the car left the road and swung into a telegi'aph pole. The two per- sons were seated in the front seat and when the car struck the pole it was the rear of the machine that re- ceived the\ damage. The machine was demolished and the pole broken in two. Some flying glass and piece? of wood struck the lady in the face and she sustained several injuries. The accident was indeed an unfor- tunate one and although it did oecui the people of this village sympathized with Mr. Hennessy, because they were of the opinion that what he did wa? for the aid of his passenger and her dying sister. His car v.-aj; a wreck ana he was obliged to pay a line t<\> '•ho Village. It is the general opirnoi that this is a good example of \In gratitude is the world's reward.\ Soon we will be forced to the in- evitable conclusion that there is a sci'ap going on in Europe. One-half of the world is fighting and the other half is having spasms in fear of a fight. Wise men are good savers. Fools are good spenders.
