DEVOTED TO THE TEU E IN T E R E S T S OP THE PEOPLE OP SENECA COUNTY. 7HE COUniER, E st'd 1837, Vol. 66. j THE JOURNAL. Esfd 1884, Vol. 19. J Consolidated Aug. 21, 1902. SENECA FALLS, N. Y., THUBSDAY, JULY 9, 1903. No. IS I- Auburn Franchise Granted. The Common Council of the city of Auburn, at a meeting held Monday- e v e n i n g , g r a n t e d a fra n c h ise to th e Geneva, Waterloo Seneca Falls & Oay- uga Lake Traction Company to run its line th r o u g h th a t c it y . The vote w a s 6 to 4. Considerable oppositian of an or ganized character had been manifested there, chiefly through the influence of the Auburn City Electric Road man agement, but the persistant efforts of friends of the movement finally suc ceeded in bringing the matter, which had been delayed for several months, to a decisive and winning ballot Mon day evening. Construction work upon the ex tension of the road from Auburn to Cayuga lake will be commenced soon and an assurance is given that the road will be in operation by July, 1904. From Cayuga village, passen gers from the east will be transferred to Cayuga lake resorts on the west shore by steam ferries, until the com pleted bridge, for which plans have been perfected, shall be built. The G. W. S. P. & O. L. Traction Company has been for some time financiered by the Rochester & Eastern Com pany, which has already finished its line to Canandaigua and is now busily engaged in pushing the road eastward from that point to Geneva. The latter company has capital and energy, and the present step, the new fran chise granted Monday evening, com pletes the link in the chain of electric roads connecting Rochester and Syra cuse by that convenient and pleasant form of travel. The movement means an additional boom for all the pleasure resorts on the west shore of Cayuga lake, as it will be the cause of multiplying the number of summer guests who already find the north end of Cayuga lake a tempting and de lightful place at which to enjoy a day, a week or a month of summer Base Ball. Over two thousand people saw the ball game at Cayuga Lake Park Satur day afternoon in which the Seneca Palls team defeated the Immaculate Conception nine of Rochester in an exciting game by a score of 11 to 6. Payne started in to pitch for the local team and did well for two innings when Flanagan took his place and finished the game. The Rochester pitcher also did good work, Craw ford, catcher ot the local team dis played good judgment throughout the game and was repeatedly ap plauded for his fine playing. The umpire was John Esmack and his de cisions seemed to give satisfaction to both teams.

They are most persistent and aggra- io their attentions. Lisk Family Reunion. Saturday, July fourth, the third semi-annual gathering of the Lisk fa m ily w a s h e ld at K idders oni C a y u g a . For many years this large company of relatives have met at the home of the different members to spend Thanks giving Day. The picnic which has just been held seems to be an out growth of the time-honored dinner party and bids fair to rival it in a t tendance and enthusiasm. The place of meeting has formerly been at Sheldrake, but the Point not being accessible, Kidders was decided upon this year, which being as near central as possible, attracted the largest num ber which has yet met. Fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grand mothers, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, cousins and all came flocking in from all points of the compass. Those from the northern end of the lake came by boat. Those fi’om Cayuga and Cortland counties crossed by means of the ferry, and the ones from Seneca county drove and came by rail, until over sixty picnick ers had arrived. Last year a perman ent organization was formed, its object being to hold an annual gather ing each summer at some place access ible to the Lisks, principally located in Seneca and Cayuga counties. At that time the officers chosen were C. Theo dore Lisk, Ledyard, Cayuga county, president, W. Leonard Lisk, vice- president, and John B. Lisk, secre tary and treasurer, both of Romulus. The same officers were reelected this year and arrangements madle for an enjoyable and profitable time next Fourth of July. As far as the day was concerned it could not have been improved upon, all the outward con ditions tending to-make it ideal. The weather was pronounced by everyone as just right, the lake that has enter tained its multitudes of pleasure seekers was at its best, the roads superb, and the grove met the appre ciation of the entire party. A sailing regatta was started and finished at Kidders and one .could not well imagine a more pretty sight than the lake covered with white sails. It seems entirely fitting that' this large family should make so great an effort to spend these two grandest of Ameri can holidays together. At the recent picnic the anniversary of our National independence was spent in a way above criticism. Family ties were reunited and cemented and instead of those who live far apart and are dis tantly related growing into total strangers, all can look upon the occa sion, not merely as an outing, but a meeting of kindred and friends, whose kindly interest in each other never fails. J o h n B. L is k , Sec. and Treas. Peck-Craig. A pretty home wedding was solem nized Wednesday evening at six o’clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Peck, on West Bayard street. The bride was Miss Fanny Amelia Peck, their daughter, the g r o o m , Louis L. Craig, of Cohoes. The bride wore white Persian lawn trimmed with Valenciennes lace, and carried a white Episcopalian prayer book. Little Miss Cora Reed, the bride’s niece, was the ringbearer, and the bride was given away by her father. The ceremony, which was witnessed by a large party of friends, was performed by Rev. W. Bours Clarke. The floral decorations of the house were tasty and elegant, consist ing of roses, ferns and potted plants. Following the wedding ceremony a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The numerous, costly and elegant wedding presents testified the esteem in which the bridle is held. After a short bridal tour, Mr. and Mrs. Craig will reside in Cohoes for the present. They are receiving con gratulations from a large circle of friends who wish for them a long, happy and useful wedded life. The tax rate as announced in last week’s issue of the C o u r ie r -J o u r n a l , although higher than ever before in the history of the villag.e was still twenty-five cents lower than the one actually fixed upon. The village tax is $12.26 on a thousand andl the school tax $4.50, making the total $16.76. . A Cowardly Assault. Harry S. Palmer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley S. Palmer of this village, was the victim of a cowardly assault in Waterloo, Sunday evening, which rendered h im u n c o n s c io u s for several hours and might have resulted fatally had his assailant used a little more force. The young man was visiting- a young lady. Miss Daisy Stanton, at her residence in South Waterloo. During the evening the two had been sitting on the front porch. As Mr. Palmer got up to leave in order to take the midnight train for home, a stranger wearing a black mask sud denly appeared and struck him a vio lent blow on the head with a club. Palmer was knocked down but arose to defend himself and was again struck, the blows rendering him un conscious. His assailant then ran away in the darkness leaving behind his hat which was the only clue to his identity. Dr. Carleton was hastily summoned and the injuries of the assault attended to. He found a bad contusion just below the left temple and one behind and above the left ear, the scalp being lacerated in both places and bleeding profusely. The case was at once reported to the police. The sensation caused by the assault on Mr. Palmer was heightened Mon day evening when Charles L. Farns worth, a well known business man was taken into custody by Officer Connors charged with committing the crime. The depositions and informa tion on which the warrant was issued were made by Mr. -Palmer and Miss Stanton, The latter recognized Farns worth’s voice when the assault was committed and the hat which was found bore the initials K. F. and was also identified by her as belonging to him. Tuesday,Mr. Farnsworth vvasar-- raigned before Justice Clark, charged “ with felonious assault with intent to kill” to which he entered a plea of “ not guilty,” waived examination and was held in $1,000 bail for the grand jury, a number of px-ominent citizens going on his bond which was executed before County Judge Richardson. Mr. Farnsworth, it is said, justifies the assault by the statement that the young woman who was with Palmer is his wife by a common law marriage contract; that they had been living together for the past two years and that he was actuated in what he did by the same spirit that any husband would display under similar circum stances. The young lady however denies the assertions and states that there is not a word of truth in them. The matter is now in the hands of the courts and the facts will undoubt edly be brought out more fully when the case comes to trial. Passenger Traffic on the Fourth. On the western division of the New York Central extending from Syr acuse to Buffalo, July 4th, the passen ger traffic was the heaviest in the history of the road. All regular trains had extra coaches or were run in sectio n s and evei-y train w a s crowded. The total number of people carried during the day was 84,045 as follows: main line, 25,889; Auburn road, 10,013; Niagara Falls road*, 11,554; Lewiston branch, 400; Belt line in Buffalo, 1,046; Charlotte branch, 35,143. The number carried one year ago on the Fourth was 72,137. _ Vaudeville at Cayuga Lake Park. . The Vaudeville season at Cayuga L-ake Park will open next Monday evening, July 13th and the perform ances will no doubt attract the usual crowds. No expense has been spared this season to book the very best artists to be secured and the management will do everything in their power to make the entertainments attractive and in every way pleasing to the patrons of the Park. The program next week includes Cook and Oakes,high class comedians; The Fennells, acrobatic specialties; Radie Furman, German comedian, and Madame DeLora, contortionist.

It is further stated that it is now the fashion to have every thing in season, the flowers as well as the food. Forced hothouse plants and vegetables are to be avoided. Spring flowers are chosen for spring luncheons and dinners. The elaborate ribbon and lace aecessoi'ies which formerly adorned tables are entirely dispensed w:ith.
