The oillcial minutes of the June m e e ting of tlie board o f trustees a p p ear in another column of to-day’s issue. A cottage has been erected by William C. Vough and II. \V. Clark at the lake, south of tlio Park. Tlie regular meeting of the board of (Hlucalion was held at Mynderse Acad emy Tuesday evening. There were eight birlh.s, a\x deaths and throe marriages in thus village dur ing the month of May. There will be daneing at the Park pavilion this evening. Miusic will he furnislied by the Elite orclicstra. George Norton will graduate from the New York Law school to-inorrow having Jini.shed a two years course at this institution. The new Lehigli Valley passenger station at Auburn has been opened to the public. It is a very liandsomo as well as convenient structure. A number of wheelmen have been arrested during the past week for vio lations of tlio ordinances regulating bicycle riding within the village limits. A game of base ball is advertised to be played Saturday at Lawrence’s park between the Shamrocks of Syracuse and the Seneca Falls Stars, a team of local players. John Lyman, an employe of the Goulds Mfg. Co., in this village, caught the third linger of his right hand in a lathe Wednesday last cutting it oil at the second joint. Both the New York Central and the Lehigli will sell Saturday and Sunday excursions tickets to Uochestor and Ontario Beach during the .coming sum mer at reduced rates. Charles A. Butts, of Tyre, has been sentenced to jail in Waterloo for six montlis, or until such lime as he can give security in tlie sum of $300 for the support of his wife. The village board Monday evening appointed Archie E. Ikailey, sou of the late village treasurer, to collect the village and school taxes for IS99 and to act in his Into father’s stead. Some people seem to have an idea that pedestrians have no right on a cinder p.alh but this impression is er roneous ; ami the pedestrian does not have to wear a license lag either. The annual reunion and picnic of the Yost family will take place at the County House on the 21st of June. A cordial invitation is extended to all member.s of the family to be present. Letters of guardianship were issued T liursday by ourrogatc Richardson to riiebe Larzalcre of Soncca Falls, upon the person and property of Sarah Fran ces Larzalorc, M ary E liza L a rzalcre and Harvey Carl Larzalcre, infants. The new sidepatli law is to be strictly enforced and wheelmen who wish to use the cinder paths will do well to provide themselves with the necessary license tags at once. Several arrests were made last week of bicyclers who imagined that they could violate the law with impunity and a careful watch will be kept to see that all comply with its terms. Thomas Smith, William Kennedy, George llaymonel and his son, who are employed in the Rurnsey works, were taken seriously ill Monday from the effects of drinking large Cjuantities of ice water while at work in the shop. They were all conlined to their beds and Mr. Kennedy has been very ill indeed. Joseph, W'inifred and Francis, aged six, live and two years, children of Mr. and M rs. Jame.s Kelly, of Seneca Falls, Saturday, were committed by Justice Coon’s to St. Alary’s O rphan Asylum at Auburn. The illness of their father and the inability of the mother to properly care for the cliildren made the step necessary. George Jardine, who is employed in the American Fire Engine Co.’s shops, met with a painful accident Afonday. While riveting a boiler a piece flew off striking him in the head and cut a deep gash therein. Dr. Crosby dressed the wound. The Genova Courier appears this week witli a handsome new dress of (ype in which it presents a greatly im proved appearance. We congratulate tlie m.anagement on this evidence of prosperity. T h e Gleason and Bailey Company have lire apparatus under construction fo r the follow ing places. A n aerial truck and two combination hose wagons for U tica, one combination hose w agon for Yieksbnrg,. Miss., and an aerial truck for New Orleans La. The first lawn festival of the season will be held next week Friday evening on the lawns of Hiram Williams and Miss Fannie Wicks on State street. Strawberries, ice-cream and cake will bo served. The festival will be given by the ladies of the Methodist clutrch. The many friends of Miss Mae Nor ton -will bo pleased to learn that she will graduate with honor from tlio Brockport N o rm al school on J u n e 27th. Miss Norton is a very talented young lady and is sure to make her mark as a teacher, the profession she expects to follow. An alarm of fire was sounded last Thursday afternoon which called the department out. It was caused by a slight blaze in the rear portion of the house owned by Mrs. W. R. Powell, on \V''est Bayard street, which was ex tinguished before the arrival of the firemen. Three young men, Ludwig, Edward and William Laude, were arrested and brought before Justice Coons last week for illegal fishing with a seine. They asked time to consult with counsel and their examination was adjourned to Thursday afternoon, June 8th at o’clock. About 850 sidepath tags have so far been disposed of in this county. It is estimated that there are nearly if not quite 3,000 bicycles in Seneca county so that quite a number of tags will yet be sold if all avail themselves of the sidepath privileges, as every owner of a •wheel should do. T h e tax rate this year has been fixed at $12 on each thousand ol assessed valuation. OX this am o u n t $8.75 w ill be collected fo r village purposes and $3 25 for schools. The rate is 05 cents a thousand higher than last year when the rate was $8.35 for village expenses and .$3 for schools. It is gratifying to the many friends : William L. Bellows and highly croditahle to the management of the Goulds Manufacturing Company that its ofiicers have provided fully for the future of their late foreman who has given up active labor after so many years of faithful and conscientious ser vice in their interests. The weather was unusually trying Monday ami Tuesday, the mercury hovering around in the nineties and tlie atmosplioro lillod with moisture almost to the point of saturation. In conse- queuce of these conditions there wore many heat prostrations and other dis orders more or less severe and the local physicians had a busy time of it. Constable Newby halted two young en, west of the village limits, Sunday for ruling on the cinder path without license tags, and took possession of their wheels. At first they resisted but finally, recognizing his authority, they boarded an electric without giving their names. The wheels were brought to this village and placed in custody of Justice Coons. One of them boars a Geneva city license tag. The races under the auspices of the Geneva Driving Club opened at Pre- iption Park yesterday and will con tinue Thursday and Friday. The num ber of entries is larger than ever be fore and includes many well known flyers. Among the eight horses en tered for the free-for-all race, Friday, are Hal Pointer (record 2 :0‘1 1-2) and Mascot (record 2:0-1.) Such a race ought to and undoubtedly will draw a large crowd. 0 inspecting the sloop back store on Fall street last While B. F. Peck and Thomas Carralier wore of Iscnman’s store Monday with the intention of repair ing it, Uomaine Lathrop called to them that it was giving away and they stepped off just in time to see the whole structure fall into the river. It would seem that it might be prudent to have a capable person inspect all of the stoops in the rear of the buildings on Fall street. Some have the appearance of being very unsafe. A St. Paul, Minn., electrician is credited with the discovery of a pro- for preserving eggs in an edible condition for a number of years. In preserving eggs by the new method, tho egg is first placed in a vacum chamber which draws the air from the interior. The eggs are then painted with a composition which renders them air tight. After this they are placed in barrels of water, and subjected to an electric current strong enough to des troy any germ life which may be pres- Five young men and one young woman took the examination Saturday at the high school building in W aterloo for llio Cornell Univoifsity scholarship. falling to Seneca county. They t Miss Anna Feehan andl James G. Pal mer, of Ovid; Robert W. Palmer .and Charles Gordon Jewell, of Seneca Falls; Preston V. Pratt and John E. Becker, of Waterloo. Wheelmen residing in this county must purchase Seneca county sidepath license tags to entitle them to use the local cinder paths. A tag purchased in another county by a resident of Sen eca county is not valid, as tho law plainly provides that wheelmen must purchase tags in the county in which they live- Such a tag, however, en titles a bicycler to use the sidepaths any where else in the state. A party set out from this place their wheels, Saturday, for a neighbor ing village about thirteen miles dis tance. Their actual time was six hours, divided about as follows: two hours in repair shops, two hours trying\ to mend tires by the roadside with quick repair kits and the balance of the time on their wheels wondering when the next break would occur. They made a record for the distance which it will be hard to equal and reached their destination only after the many trials and tribulations common to those who pursue the straight and narrow (side) The board of education met l.ast evening but transacted no important business aside from auditing a few bills. The follow ing committees were appointed by President Hammond: on finance, Seigrest, Geer, Flanagan; on teacliors, Stowell, Follett, Wentz; on houses and sites, Flanagan, Wentz, Stowell; on school organization and discipline, Goer, Stowell, Follett; on text books and library, Follett, Flana gan, Seigrest; on course of study, Wentz, Seigrest, Geer. The employees of the department in the works of the Gonld’s Mfg. Co , over which William L. Bellows had been foreniiin for so many years, testi fied to tho esteem in which they held him last Thursday evening by gather ing at his home on Mynderso street where Clarence Lewis, in their behalf, presented their late foreman a hand some easy chair, foot rest and box of flue cigars. Mr. Bellows in the sur prise of the moment was almost over come by his emotions, but responUed in appropriate terms thanking the men for the gift and tlie feelings of friend- sliip a n d regard which promxjted it. The annual June outing of the Hon est Fishermen’s Club will be hold on Cayuga lake between Mud Lock' and Canoga point, Thursday June 15th, the opening day of the bass season. Fish ing will only bo allowed between the hours of 9 A. M, and 8:30 r. m . with an interval of two hours from noon un til 2 r . Ilf. at which time, as many mem bers as can do so, are asked to meet on the oast shore of tho lake, a short dis tance south of the large ice house, for dinner which each is expected to pro vide for himself. The usual number of prizes are olfered for those entering the contest to struggle for. Members who have not paid their dues for 1899 can not enter the competition. Tho fish will bo weighed in at Cayuga Lake Park and all strings niitst be in prior to 8:30 r . M. Wliile a crowd of mon and hoys were playing ball on the Fisher lot, opposite the cemetery, last Sunday afternoon, Bernard Carroll mot with a very .seri ous and painful accident. Francis McKooii was batting flies to the mon in Uic field and young Carroll stood by and endoavorod to catch the ball as U was thrown ia to McKeon. While Carroll was doing this, McKean struck at the ball and hit him a terrific blow with the club across the face, which knocked him senseless and cut a deep gash in the bridge of his nose and over the eye. McKeon did not know that ho bad struck the boy for a moment u n til ho saw him laying on tho ground in an unconscious condition. Dr. Crosby was on tlie ground w atching the sport and immediately attended to the case. It was purely an accident and Alclveon felt very much grieved over the un fortunate occurrence and gave orders to the doctor to do everything necessary to make Carroll comfortable and said he would pay the bill. It was found necessary to take live stitches in C.ar- roll’s face in order to close the wound. Two young men, Fred Rose of this village and Ernest Griltins of Geneva, were arresteil lato Monday evening by officer McGuire for fast driving on tho streets and being drunk and disorderly. They wore locked up for the night and taken before Justice Coons yesterday morning to answer to another ch.argo also, that of cruelty to animats, made by Thomas Dolan, a motormaa on tho electric road, who stated that these two men had driven a horse from Geneva that evening at a terrific pace and had managed by pounding .and ill treating the poor animal to keep up with the car that he was running from that city to the Kingdom bridge, a distance of about eight miles. The horse was com pletely exhausted and in a deplorable shape when it reached Seneca Falls. Both mon pleaded guilty and Rose was Jiued thirteen tloUars, ton dollars for cruolty to animals and tlirco for being drunk and disorderly, or three months in the Monroe county pcnitciitiary. Grittins vvas sentenced to pay ciglit dollars, throe dollars for being drunk and disorderly and live dollars for cruolty to animals. Rose was given the heavier fine because ho did the driving and was older than young Grittins, Sidepatli Commissioners Meet. Tho eJuno meeting of the Senec.a county sidepath commissioners was held at Waterloo, Monday of this week, A reward of ten dollars was olVered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person guilty of steal ing a sidepath tag from a bicycle. Pe titions and requests were received for the construction of sidepaths from Romulus to Waterloo, Ovid to Seneca Falls, Waterloo to Geneva and Cayuga Lake Park to Canoga, in most cases the farmers living along the highways in question offering to do tho necessary plowing and grading and prepare the paths f o r tho cinders. T h ese petitions were all accepted and work will bo pushed as fast as funds are available for the purpose. Thoi question of re placing license tags either lost or stolen from wheels was considered but tho board decided that this could not be done and bicyclers who lose their tags will be obliged to jinrichaso another.

D rinking W ater, There lias been considerable com plaint recently in regard to llie unfitness of tho water furnished by the Water Company for drinking and domestic purposes and at the meeting of the board of trustees, Monday evening, a committee consisting of two trustees and three citizens was appointed to look into the matter and take appro priate action. It is stated that a num ber of persons have been made sick within the last few days by drinking the water from the company’s inpes and it is regarded by phjsiciaiis as entirely unfit if not dangerous fo r drinking purposes. The worst feature of the case is that there can be no ade quate remedy so long as the water is taken from Cayuga lake anywhere north of Uie Canoga marshes; for the lake is shallow from Canoga point north and the bottom in most places covered with eel grass and water plants which grow up, are cut down by the frost in the fall and decay rapidly the following spring. Above the marshes, however, the lake is much deeper, the bottom rocky or sandy and the water as nearly pure as can be found anywhere. If our drinking water could be taken from five or six miles up the lake it would be first class in all respects. As.it is there is just ground for complaint and if its use is causing illness the board of health should be called upon to act at once. The health of the community is of the utmost importance to all. We make the highest grades of flour. Leave your orders at W. E. Hub’s news room. Yawger Milt Company. Waterloo. David Walker has returned to place from Lynn, Mass.
