The defeat of Mr. Knight for super visor is greatly to be regretted. He has made one of the best supervisors the town of Seueca Falls has ever had and gave the taxpayers the lowest lax rate they have had in twenty years. There is little encouragement in the result of his canvass for reelection for public officials who perform their duties conscientiously and give their best effort.? to the service of their con slituents. Mr. Knight has received the usual reward for his efforts to ad minister his office in . the interest of the people. According to recent press reports, the state lunacy commission has decided to make certain transfers of the medical superintendents of the state, as follows: SuperinlendentDew ing will be transferred from K ing’s Park to Platbush; Supt. Elliott from Platbush to Willard, and Superin tendent Macy of Willard to King’s Park. Buperintenednt Macy is an able man and has executive ability of the highest order, which will make him a valuable official ht the larger institution to which he is to be trans ferred. Mr. Elliott, who will succeed him, also h as an established reputation as an administrative officer and the excellent maaagoment of the hospital in the past will no doubt be continued under his charge. Goodman-Babcock. A quiet wedding was solemnized at high noon to day, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George B. Davis on Fall street. The bride was Miss Maude Sophia Goodman, daughter of Mrs. Davis, and the groom was Floyd Alexis Babcock, both respected young people of this village. The ceremony was pronounced by Rev. W illiam Bours Clarke,rector of T rinity church, in the presence of immediate relatives of the bride and groom. The newly married couple have a wide circle of friends, who unite in extending sin cere congratulations and in wishing for them many happy years of mar ried life. Mr. and Mrs. Babcock will leave cn the evening train for Jersey City, where they will be at home to their friends. Curran=>Ehrhardt. W ednesday evening, October 7lh, 1903, the marriage of T. Francis Curran of New York city, son of Mrs. John Curran of this place, and Miss Emma E. Ehrhardt also of New York was solemnized in St Francis Xavier’s church iu that city by Rev. Henry Van Rennselaer. After the ceremony a wedding supper was served at 58 W . 96th street and the happy couple left for a week’s visit in W ashington, D. C. The best man was D r . C. M. Tobin, a cousin of the groom and the bridesmaid was Miss Frances Mesep, both of New York city. Mr, Curran Is well known in Seneca Palls and has a host of friends here who extend their sincere and hearty eobgratulations. He and his bride will make their home in New York city where they are residing at 155 W est l5th street. Second Charge of Burglary . On Saturday evening. Officer Patrick Reagan again arrested Orley E. Spencer of this village, upon a warrant charging burglary in the third degree. The information in the present instance was made by James H. Anderson, Jr,, and recites facts counected with the recent bur .^laries of cottages and boathouses at '^ayuga Lake The warrant was is sued by Justice Coons. The officer being unable to locate the justice, who was out of town, the defendant was placed in jail. On Monday, the case came before the justice, the de fendant entered a plea of “ not guilty” the amount of bail bond was fixed at one thousand dollars, Nelson Duntz became the surety upon the bond, and the defendant was given his liberty. The matter will not again come to public notice, until the next grand jury which will sit in December. The Election in Seneca County. Tuesday was a fine day and as a r e sult a large vole was polled. Dr. J . F. Crosby, the Republican nominee, was the successful candidate for mem ber of assembly by a majority of 323 over Isenman, his Democratic oppon ent. For sheriff. Mills, Democrat, was elected by 433 majority. Super visors were elected by the Democrats in Covert, Lodi, Ovid, Romulus, Seneca Falls and Junius and by the Republicans in Varick, Waterloo, and Tyre, thus giving the Demo crats control of the county board. Locally, the Democrats have elected t h e i r candidate for supervisor, W illiam B. Harper, by a majority of 146 over H. D. Knight and the bal ance of the town ticket is divided. S. L. Monroe, Republican,, is elected town clerk; George E. Wellberry, Republican and John M. W entz, Republican, justices of the peace; W a l t e r H.

Licht, Democrat, was elected mayor of Geneva by a ma jority of one. This is about as close as an election can be and will doubt less operate to give the new mayor a chilly feeling. The result on alder man was more decisive, the new board consisting of eight Republicans and tour Democrats, with Conrad Wehnes, Republican, president of the common council. Of the four Democratic aldermen elected one was Professor O. W illard Rice, principal of Myn derse Academy. The ant-saloon crusade that has been underway for about four weeks past, under the auspices of the tem perance people of Clyde, resulted in a majority of about sixty in favor of no license, when the ballotts were counted at the close of Tuesday’s election. The movement received much of its momentum from three recent deaths in that vicinity, which it is claimed were traced directly to the use and abuse of strong drink. The temperance people of Clyde are naturally exulting over victory. The crusade became so general that the churches and even the school children were enlisted in it, the latter wearing badges on election day, exhof ting the voters to vote the temperan/e ticket and for the children.

IDA CROWNINSHIELD, the wife of Wiliiam Crowninshield of Worcester, Mass., and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jo.sepb Maier of W est Pallg street, died of an intestinal trouble, Wednesday afternoon, at the age of thirty-five years. Mrs. Orown- inshield had not enjoyed good health fdr'sometime. The last few week.s of her life were passed at the home of her parents, the complicated n ature of the disease with which she suffered baffling the physicians best skill. Mrs. Crowninshield was born in this village, and spent hev early girlhood here, her natural kibdne&§ of heart and affectionate disposition endearing her to all with whom she was associ- atee. Her death in the springtime of life, is a sad blow to her husband, parents, brothers and sisters. Beside her husband and parents, she leaves three sisters, the Misses Anna, Mary and Emma and four brothers, W illiam, Henry, Charles and Siebert. The funeral service will be held at the house Saturday afternoon, at half past two o’clock. Rev. H. G rant Per son officiating. Supervisors Elected. Covert, Ira C. Hall, Democrat. Lodi, Ohas. A.

One of the advantages of a farmer’s life, and a big one too, is that nobody can turn him out of a job when work is slack, and leave him to hustle in a new field or go hungry. Indepen dence is a priceless thing, and the farmer, who enjoys as much of it as any other inhabitant of earth, does not always appreciate his advantage. He would if he once lost it, however, and had to go and ask somebody else for the right to work for a living. Crops are sometimes poor, returns are rarely large, hours of summer work are long enough and • hard, though for that matter no work is easy, but it is only an unusual and surprising combination of circum stances that finds a New York State farmer, when the days grow chill, without a food and fuel supply in sight to carry the family through the winter Let farmers put this fact in their credit column when they feel like comparing their line of work with that of village a n d city toilers, — Ex.

About four o’clock Thursday after noon, a fire was discovered in pro gress in the rear of the Norcott block on State street. The fire was first discovered through a hole in a par tition by L. Besdixon, a baker em ployed by Orrio Burroughs, whose place of business is in ihe north end of the block. Bendixon, after making a futile effort to extinguish the blaze, w ith-apailof water gave an alarm and by the time the fire department ar.rived the flames had spread so r-pidly that dense black smoke was pouring from every door, window and crevice in the structure, which with other adjoining property seemed threatened with destruction. The fire was first noticed iu the back part of the restaurant recently leased from Mr. Burroughs by John Meehan, and the interior was so dry and coubust- ible that it spread quickly. In an h o u r , with four effective streams from the steamers and with the aid of the hydrants the fire was under control. , The block, which is the property of Mrs. Fannie A. Norcott, was found to be damaged about $3 000 with $4,000 insurance. The George building, ad joining on the south was somewhat damaged by smoke and water which was covered by insurance. The bak ery and restaurant of Orrin Burroughs with stock and fixtures on the ground floor a d his household goods in the second story,were almost a total loss, which was a most serious misfortune to Mr Burroughs as he had no fire insurance. His loss will totalize about one thousand dollars. The cigar store of Mr. Graham was dam aged about $250 with the sa m e amount of in.surance. Antonio For- zato, cobbler and with sleeping rooms on the ground fl.oor, parried $500 in- suraoce and was-damaged tiearly that amount, Henry Selleck, jeweler, sus tained about one hundred ilollars damage with no insurance. L. E. Dumont in the second story was dam aged by smoke and water about twG hundred and fifty dollars the loss be ing Oh household good.s and Williatri Arnold, another second story occupant sustained about three hundred dollars damages to his household goods, chiefly from smoke and water. Neither Mr. Dumont nor Mr Arnold carried fire insurance, and their losses are serious. The saloon of W illiam Adkinson and the barber shop of Peter Geraghty in the George build ing, were both somewhat damaged by- smoke and water, and Mrs. Peter George who lives in the second story also sustained some damage, the- losses of the three last named being covered by insurance. The Norcott building where the fire originated was built shortly after the big fire of 1890 and was a frame, iron covered structure with brick front, making it a most difficult place iu which to fight a fire. A Challenge. The second Mynderse foot ball eleven would like to arrange a game with a ny 116 to 130 pound team in or near Seneca Falls. They prefer a game with a third ward eleven. Ad dress Philip R.
