B e p o rt of t h e Supply C o m m ittee—Ke- niarlcs on th e D e a th o f H e n r y B . I>ow. ProeeedlnKS o f t h e B o a rd in E n ll. G oshen , Dec. 3.—Board met at 11 o’clock, a quorum present. Mr. Ketckam, ckairman of Law Com mittee, reported on the appeal of Edward Fitzgerald, from the action of the Town Board of Highlands, in reducing his bill, that his petition confirmed to the law, and recommended that it be referred to the Committee on Constables bills. Re port was received and petition referred. Mr. Lozier presented the petition of Isaac D. Garrison of the town of New- burg, asking the Board to correct a cleri cal error in the assessment rolls of that town for 1886. He desired that the amount of $26.46 be stricken from the roll on pajdng the property tax of $2.80. The Assessors certified to the’ error, and on motion the matter was referred to the Iiaw Committee. Mr. Bosencrance asked that Counsellor A. Van Etten, Jr., of Port Jervis he heard in relation to the cancellation of taxes on the rolls, in the hands of the County Treasurer, and against the prop erty of Nancy Bartow of the town of Deer- Mr. Van Etten addressed the Board, and claimed that the application was to clear the property of said Bartow of anyin- Gumbrance and liens of taxes, and that the application was based upon an offer of the applicant to produce receipt for taxes paid and to pay all arrearages due. The Treasurer’s books, he claims, charge Mrs. Bartow’s property with unpaid taxes from 1879 to 1887 amounted to $109 94; whereas, the County Treasurer’s receipt give in 1884, shown all prior taxes had been paid. Mr. Murray of the Supply Committee for Jail and Court House at Goshen, and the Surrogate’s and County Clerk’s oflices reported having drawn drafts on the Goimty Treasurer for supplies the past year, to the amount of $4,169.80 as fol lows; Court House and Jail $494.72, County Clerk’s office $353.77, Surrogate’s office $555.15, water $140, gas $378.38, coal $1,308.37, salary engineer and jani tor $670, miscellaneous expenses $69.41. Mr. McEissock, Supply Committee at Newburgh, reported having issued drafts on the County Treasurer for $1,460.97 as follows: Court House and Jail, coal $259.40, supplies $113.15,; gas $81.45, water $60.60, matting $20.94, stationary $20 95; for Armory, Gas $429.98, coal $409 80, water $60.50 ; Supreme Court Chambers, stationary $6 20. On motion the reports of the two Sup ply Committees were received, and with the vouchers accompanied were filed. The death of Hon. Henry R. Low, State Senator from this district, was an nounced to the Board by his friend and associate in the Legislature, Hon. J. G. Adams of Newburgh. Mr. Adame said the painful tidings of the Senator’s death in New York city had been just reached him this morning, and it was with feelings of emotion and sad ness that he arose to pay this tribute of respect to one who had shown conspicu ously as a public spirited citizen, and honorable and useful le^slator. This is a time when we can meet on a common level, and in the presence of death forget all out political differences. If the friend we bury had any faults, let us throw around them our broad mantle of charity, and seek to emulate his many virtues. Mr. Adams spoke in further eulogistic terms of the deceased, and said that as there were some in this body who desired to show their respect to the departed Sena tor and the position whieh he had filled, by attending the funeral, he would move that after the reading of the journal to morrow, ihis Board adjourn. Mr. Doug las of Wallkill, in seconding the motion of Mr. Adams, said in doing so he desired to pay his tribute to the worth and excel lence of our late representative. He stood as a young man in this county and one of those who had ever looked up to Judge Low for counsel, and always found him safe to go to for advice, in private and public matters. Young men have always found in him a friend. Whatever duties, public or private, had been on him, were faithfully performed. He lived in a broad sense, on a broad plane. He lived lor the benefit of prosperity. He was foremost in projecting and carrying forward public enterprises. Both in public matters and tot charity his hand and purse were al ways open. In the taking away of Judge Low, said Mr. Douglas, I feel that I have ,snet with a personal loss, and the com munity and county as well. We have lost one whom we can ill afford to part with, at is but just that we pay our tribute of respect to the deceased, and that we ad- representative. He was a man who was not only endeared ^to his town of Wall- kill, but he was held in high estimation throughout this district and the state. Mr. Rosenerance spoke of the valuable aid rendered by the late Senator, at his own expense in visiting Albany with a com mittee of the Board of Supervisors to se cure a reduction in the assessment of Or- ige county, before the State Board of Equalization. To Middletown his loss may be more keenly felt, cont'nued Mr. Rosenerance, but the “ little hamlet” over the moontain will share in that loss. Through the efforts of Judge Low for the people of Port Jervis, another outlet be side that of the Brie would soon be af forded that place. On the solemn occa sion of to-morrow, it is fitting that this Board pay its last token of respect to one who has so fait’afully served the people, and he, therefore, favored the adjourn- Mr. Graham of Blooming Grove said it was with a tinge of sadness that he had heard of the death of Judge Low. As one of the members representing the majority in this body, he desired to add his tribute of respect and sympathy to the sentiments which had already been’; expressed. His personal acquamtance with the late Sena tor was very Jimited, but he had always found him a perfect; gentleman. In the discharge of bis duties as committee in procuring an armory site in Middletown, the committee and Mr. Low^ad some dealings with regard to lots some which he held, the choice of which ; he had offered to the county, in which he phowed a dis position to give the best site for the least possible . rice, thus showing his interest in town and county matters. So far as his position as a Senator and public man was concerned, his reputation was wide spread, and was not confined to Orange county, but reached throughout the state and nation. Referring to the remarks of the gentleman from Newburgh, that this was a “ time to forget all political differ ences,” Mr. Graham said it had been well said by the past. The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” But I believe, continued he, in times like this, that the principle should be reversed, and that we should remember the good auQ forget the evil, for who is there here but has not his faults. In behalf of the majority, I heartily concur in the resolu tion to adjourn, and would like to have the Board attend in a body. The motion adjourn was then put and carried. Mr. R .sencrance offered a resolution autbor.ziug the County Treasurer to can cel on his bonds all taxes charged to Nancy Baitow, on her paying the amount for whicii hhe has ne Treasurer’s re ceipts. Mr. Kelcbam moved the matter lay over, and Mr. Graham amend to refer to the Law Committee. Considerable dis cussion followed, participated in by Messrs, Wood, Rosenerance, Graham’and Adams, which resulted into motion to refer prevailing. In the afternoon Coun sellor Van Etten was given a hearing be fore the Law Committee, who will soon make a report on the same. The bond of Chas. G. Elliott, County Clck elect, in the sum of $5,000, was presented and referred to the Law Com- mittee. Mr. Graham offered a resolution, which was adopted, that the members of this Board attend the funeral of the late Sena tor Low to-morrow, in a body, Mr. Murray presented a letter from Miss L. K. Blackwell, a lady who is do ing mission work at Orange Farm and vicinity, and who desired the Board to grant her the use of a room at the County Oontinued on fmrfhpage.

Y. morning dailies to this place, 22 min utes earlier than formerly. This is a change which our citizens will appreciate and value and one which we trust has come to stay. “ A W o rd to th e W ise is Sufficient.” Catarrh is not simply an inconvenience, unpleasant to the sufferer and disgusting to others—it is an advanced outpost of ap proaching disease of. worst type. Do not neglect its warning; it brings deadly evils in its train. Before it is too late, use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It reaches the seat of the ailment, and is the only thing that will. You may dose yourself with quack medicine till it is too late—till the streamlet becomes a resistless torrent. It is the matured invention of a scientific physician. “ A word to the wise is suf ficient. forever 08 , Ob! give us a rest,and don’t be harping on Tulip soap. $1000 wi rery profitj A BUSINESS BARGAIN. ill buy a clean, pleasant and .................. 3 in Portt very profitable business in Por Jervis.

Specimens of KaoUne a n d C lusters of P ine Needles W hlck a r e Superseding Ju t e . R e m a rkable Specim ens of PK o spkate Rock—O ther Curiosities. Mr. Peter Wells has just returned from a visit to South Oaiolina and, as usual, has brought with him, from the sunny South, many very interesting specimens of soil, mineral and vegetables, mostly from Lawrence county, which are now on exhibition at his store, He has one sample each of green corn, oats and sugar cane. The oats and corn are the second crop this year. The specimens of soil one would think came from the ruins of some brick wall. Thefairor average soil looks much like the old mortar with which brick has been laid, while the very best of it would be difficult to distinguish from pulverized Kaolin is a white clay, found under the soil in many parts of the state, and strongly resembles plaster of Paris, but is somewhat harder and is easily polished by rubbing with the hand. Large car goes are shipped north, where it is used for adulterating candy, sugar and some times flour. It is entirely worthless in any of these articles and is said to be harmless. A cluster of pine needles is among the cariosities and are not unlike our own pine, except in length, which is about three times that of the northern. It has proven a great boon to the cotton growers and dealers. The jute growers and deal ers, upon whom the cotton men depended for their bagging, or covering for bales of cotton, formed a combination and raised the pine from cents per yard to 14 cents. At the former rice the bnsiuess was a profitable one, and the increase,was that much added to the profits. Neces sity being the mother of invention, the brains of the oppressed growers of vege table clothing, were set at work, and fin ally produced from these pine needles, a canvass that is in every particular, equal to the jute, and at a mere nominal cost. The supply of the leaves or needles is in- exhaustable, and the inventors are happy. He also has some fine specimens of the beautiful and legendary passion flower fruits. This flower, though prized so highly here is a nuisance to the cotton powera and it is with great difficulty that it is kept from raining many crops. The most remarkable specimen of all is a piece of phosphate rock, which is com posed of petrified bones of animals that have been buried in marshes and beds of rivers for unknown centuries. These bones are not separate but have formed into great rocks, which have to be blasted. Huge teeth are found among these rooks, nearly as perfect as when in the mouth of their owners, the enamel still being unharmed. It is found principally in South Carolina, back of Charleston and, along the coast covering a tract of land at least 60 miles square. Large quantatiea are now being taken out of the beds of the rivers 20 feet below the bottom of the stream. Its an nual product is valued at $4,000,000. Be fore the close of the war it was supposed to be only worthless stone and that which was upon the surface of the hind was used for making fences. Its real virtue was dis covered by accident. That was, the odor arising from it while being exposed to fire. Its use has enabled them to raise cotton profitably 100 miles farther north, than before its use and then its chemical qualities force the pods open and nothing else will and is therefore of great value in that climate. The Baldwin and other fertilizer companies are manufacturing it and mixing it with various preparations for all kinds of vegetation grown in the south. The bone phosphate acts as a stimulant and there is danger of its ruin ing the soil by over stimulation, if injudi ciously used. Mr. Weils speaks very highly of South Carolina and believes that any northern farmer can do well there, if he has only a fair degree of ambition. Raising cotton pays, as an acre, worth from $3 to $10, will produce two bales of cotton that markets for $45 per bale. The value of the seed averages $5 more per bale. Law rence county alone produced 80,000 bales this year, valued at $1,500,000. He also has a Yankee specimen from stanhope N. J. This is a crystalized sugar mode from the whey of sweet milk. It resembles rock candy very much, only it is of a yellowish cast. The preparation, though a secret, is presumed to be simular to the course through which rock candy passes and is gathered on sticks in the form of cones. It is of recent discovery. The Stanhopa factory has been running about six months. It is used in the com position of medicine and is an excellent food for delicate infants. It sells for $1 a pound. Of course you can fool away y< if you ohooBe, but you can auK) save one- half of it by using Tulip AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT. M ickael K a d e l In j u r e d w h ile Lifting; a t Mr. Michael Kadel the proprietor of the hotel and lager beer saloon on Pike street, adjoining the Farnum building, was yes- terday the victim of an unfortunate, but what we trust will not prove to bs a ser ious accident. It happened in the fol lowing manner ; Mr. Jake Schoor the well known and popular Milford jehu came up from that enterprising little borough yesterday, with a view of taking back home with him an old hook and ladder truck, formerly be longing to one of the fire companies, but now disused. He stopped at the estab lishment of his compatriot Mr. Kadel and took dinner there. About 8 o’clock in the afternoon he told Mr. Kadel of his pur chase, and asked him if he would not go over to the shop of Mr. Philip Ogg on Sussex Hill in the rear of which the truck lay, and assist him in removing the same. To which request Mr. Kadel kindly as sented and together the two proceeded to the large plot of vacant ground in the rear of Mr. Ogg’s shop where they found the disused truck. Some oiling of the wheels was found to be necessary, before the truck could be put in condition to be removed. While this was being done, it became necessary to move the right rear wheel of the truck and this task, wholly beyond his strength, Mr. Kadel essayed to perform. While he was tugging away at the wheel a cracking of bones was heard somewhat resemblmg the report of a pistoL Mr. Kadel uttered a sharp cry of pain and it was evident that he had injured himself straining at the wheel. Mr. Schoor went to his as sistance and found him suffering intense pain in the small of his back. Mr. Kadel was asristed back home, pm to bed and Dr. Cuddeback was instantly summoned. He examined Mr. Kadel’s back and said that he could not as yet de termine the extent of injury to that mem ber. In a day or two he could tell better. Appropriate remedies were administered and the patient is at the present time quite comiortabie, barring occasionally spasms of pain now and then. It is to be hoped that Mr. Kadel’s injuries are not of a serious nature. SENATOR LOW ’S FUNBBAL. Tlie Solemn Cerem onies a t Grace Church M iddletown. M iddustown , N. Y., December 4th.

I t W ill Be L e f t a t E acli Subscriber’* H o u se In tb e M o rning an d W ill Tell tb e F a m ily AH tb e News and Sing and F la y to T h e m t h e L a test Operas* Edison promises to put his latest inven tion, the phonograph, to a curious and practical use. It is his intention to fur nish to subscribers a talking daily news paper. The little instrument will be charged with a condensation of the news of the day, and each subscriber can listen to it while at breakfast. Some inkling of this marvelous project of the great inventor having reached The World, a reporter went out to Mr. Edi son’s laboratory at Orange, N. Y., Mon day. Mr. Edison was greatly surprised that any hint of his new invention had got abroad, and at first was loath to talk about it. It is simply one of the practical uses to which the phonograph, in its full perfection, can be put. The scheme is still in embryo, but with the rapid pro gress now being made in the perfection of tne phonograph, and tbe marvellous re sources of Mr. Edison’s inventive btain, it is safe to say that the talking newspaper will be as well known as the tekphone in the near future. The talking instrument will be left at each subscribers house in the morning and will tell the family all the news ana sing and play to them the latest operas. It will reproduce the tones and sayings of public men with aU the “ thunders of applause.\ The modem newspaper is a triumph of the creative power of man.
