Y., THTIBSDAY, SEFTBM8ER 3, 1903. No. 30 Farrell-DurnJn. A very pretty wedding was solemn ized at St. Patrick’s church in this village Tuesday afternoon at three o’clock, the contracting parties being two popular and respected young people. The bride was Miss Margaret Agnes Farrell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Farrell, and the groom was Frank J. Durnin, a local mail carrier. Miss Mary L. Farrell, sister of the bride acted as maid of honor and the best man was Justice Patrick J . ' Pyan. The bride was gowned in white silk chiffon over white silk taffeta, trimmed with white satin ribbon and white silk rose buds and carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses. The maid of honor wore white French lawn with Valenciennes lace trimmings and carried a shower bou quet of yellow roses. Both bride and maid of honor wore ostrich pompons in their hair. The interior of the church was elaborately decorated for the happy event with clustered golden glow and golden rod, and the chancel rail was covered with festooned vines and smilax sprinkled with white flowers. The ceremony was pro nounced by Eev. Father Dwyer in the presence of a large assemblage of guests. Miss Mary Cruise presided at the organ and rendered Mendellsohn’s wedding march as a processional and the bridal chorus from Lohengrin as a recessional and during the ceremony Miss Miller sang “O Promise Me.” The ushers were William Casey, Thomas McG-rain, Frank and William Farrell, James Sullivan and William Flanagan. A reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents on East Bayard street and a sumptuous wedding dinner served. The floral decorations at the house consisted of white and pink sweet peas. The wed ding presents were costly and elegant and testified the esteen in which the young people are held. The guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Maloney and son Thomas and daughters. Misses Lena, Bertha and Frances Maloney of Waterloo, Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Durnin and son of Penn Yan, Mr. and Mrs. William Hitchcock and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hogan and daughters, Misses Nellie and Teresa Hogan of Geneva. The newly wedded couple departed on the evening train for the Thousand Islands attended by . many congratulations and best wishes and upon their return will be at home to their many friends in this village. President Roosevelt at Syracuse Labor Day. President Roosevelt will open the state fair in Syracuse on Labor Day, Monday next, arriving in that city about nine o’clock in the morning and remaining throughout the day. At 10 o’clock he will review the great Labor Day parade made up of labor organizations from this section of the state. After the parade he will be escorted to the State Fair grounds where he will formally open the fair and deliver an address. Luncheon will then be served to the Presidential party on the grounds. In the after noon he will return to the city and review the parade of the letter carriers whose national convention is in pro gress in that city and in the evening he will be given a dinner at the home of ex Senator Frank Hiscoek. The program for the day will give visitors to Syracuse and the State Fair a good opportunity to get a look at the nation’s chief executive and there will doubtless be a great crowd of visitors to the Saline Oily, Monday Penn Vans vs Seneca Falls. Arrangements have been made ’oy Manager Doyle of the Seneca Falls base ball team for a game Saturday afternoon with the Penn Yan club which played here a few weeks ago and was beaten by .the score of 1 to 0 in a finely played game which was witnessed by over two thousand spec tators. The announeemen't that the Penn Yans are to play here again Saturday should be sufficient to draw a large crowd. The State Fair 'opens in Syracuse Monday next.

Volunteer infantry assembled in annual reunion at Wat erloo, the sessions being held in the high school assembly hall. Nearly a hundred survivors were present and the reunion was one of the most pleasant in the history of the regi ment, which was recruited from Seneca, Ontario and Yates counties. The officers elected for 1904 are: president. Perry Danes of Yates; vice-presidents, oae from each com pany in the regiment; secretary, George Wardell; treasurer, Geo/ge H Scofield. It was decided to hold the reunion in 1904 at Penn Yan. A fine progrrm was given by mem bers of the regiment and others, and the veterans were entertained at the close of the meeting by a free trolley ride to Cayuga Lake Park and re turn. The regimental band of Phelps which still has among its members one of the musicians belonging to it during the war, and the Seneca Palls Bugle Corps furnished spirited music for the reunion. The members of the Woman’s Relief Corps had charge of the entertainment and as a whole the reunion was voted one of the most memorable and enjoyable in the history of the regiment. Charles C. Johnson, of this place, was among the speakers of the day. Opposes Voting Machines. The Seneca Palls Reveille objects to the use of the voting machine on the ground that“ it{s an unr^atural method of voting, contrary to the spirit and intent of the Constitution and danger ous to the freedom and secrecy of tha ballot.” It declares that the machines do not give satisfaction wherever they are introduced. The Reveille cannot speak for Buf falo in this vein. Hardly any one in this city favors going back to any old system of voting. There is more op portunity for fraud and mistake under the paper ballot system in one election than in a dozen by machine voting. No other method has ever proved half so satisfactory in all respects. The machines are thoroughly trustworthy and safe and it is impossible to mani pulate them in the interest of fraud or trickery unless the entire election board in charge is consenting to the The Seneca Falls contemporary has somewhere gained a large bundle of prejudice on this subject- It is im possible to speak gravely of such a statement as that the machine is hos tile to the Constitution.—Buffalo Supervisors Outing Postponed. Owing ■ to the disagreeable weather and heavy rainstorm the supervisors reunion and outing which was to have been held Friday last at Cayuga Lake Park was postponed until Friday of this week when the exercises as originally planned will be carried out. An interesting program has been pre pared and if the weather is propitious there should be a large gathering of the supervisors, ex-supervisors, wives sweethearts and friends to do honor to the occasion. The reunions held heretofore have been well attended and greatly enjoyed by those present and it is hoped that the interest will not flag on account of the unfavor able weather on the day first set for the 1903 outing. Labor Day Ball Game. A ball game has been arranged for Labor Day at Cayuga L ark between the Osborne’s of Auburn and the Seneca Falls club. These teams have already played five games this season of which the local players have won two and the Osbornes three. The last game played by them was one of the finest ever seen on the Park grounds and was won by the Osborne’s by the score of 1 to 0. The mere announce ment of the game Labor Day between the two teams will be sufficient to call out a -large and enthusiastic crowd of rooters if the weather bureau at Washington will only send us favor able weather.

Edward Whitlock, a resident of the hamlet of Bridgeport, was awakened from slumber about two o’clock Mon day morning by a bright light shining in through the window of his sleeping room. The unusual circumstance at that untimely hour and in honest and well behaved Bridgeport, aroused him to action, and looking out the window he saw a party of men engaged in digging his potatoes by the light of a lantern. Re-enforced by other mem bers of his family, all in midnight garb, Mr. Whitlock sallied forth and the thieves at once beat a hasty re treat going toward Bridgeport. Hasti ly donning more wearing apparel the pursuing party made after the thieves, who were delayed by one of their number tumbling into the open trench of the Inter Urban Gas Company. His comrades assisted him out and all succeeded in escaping. The trail from the Whitlock residence was plainly marked by cucumbers, evi dently extracted from some other garden, as Mr. Whitlock had missed none, and finally disappeared among the cottages along the lake shore south of Bridgeport. The incident indicates that a foraging party was out that night for vegetables and stealing seemed preferable to buying. Such a practice may be excusable though dangerous, in the enemy’s country in time of war, but during peace those who follow it become at once the enemy of all men and deserve an ex treme punishment that in this in stance they failed to act. An Annoying Practice, Some of the New York Central freight train crews need a good call ing down from headquarters. In the evening cars are frequently left stand ing so as to partially block Cayuga street while switching is being done, to the great annoyance and incon venience of persons living on the street, which is the finest residence street in the village. Tuesday even-' ing at a quarter past eight a west bound train was cut in two at the Cayuga street crossing and the side walk on the east side of the street blocked for twenty minutes so that pedestrians had to go to the middle of the street and wade through the mud to get by. A little care and thought fulness on the part of the train crew would have avoided any blocking of the street as there is about three miles of clear track east of Cayuga street where the cars could be left if neces sary. The blocking of streets in this manner is, we believe, against the rules of the road and it certainly is a nuisance which should be suppressed. Rev. Dr. Searles, of Stelton, New Jersey, died May 24th, in the 85th year of his age For over thirty-five years he was pastor of the Central Baptist church of Brooklyn, N. Y., and in length of time as pastor was next to Henry Ward Beecher. After his resignation in Brooklyn he accept ed a call at Stelton where he preach ed far over ten years until failing strength compelled him to retire. He was an uncle of Albert Barrett, of Tyre, and had at various times been heard at the Tyre church. The life of Dr. Searles was remarkable for the fact that during the forty five years of his pastorate he served only two churches, one for thirty five years and the other for ten years. At Stelton, N. J., he was only the eleventh pas tor of the church which had been in existence for over two hundred years. He was a man of fine attainments, rare eloquence and a consistent and faithful minister of the gospel. For 5ale. Large heating stove in perfect con dition. 206 W. Fall street. Steamer ilohawk.
