Al>out Thia Tim e of tlie Year, or Any Other Tim e W ill D o an W ell—Some Ohievatlona on Varions Item s anti Tbingrg Seen or Not Seen as the Case May Be. (Copyright not secured.) When we look back about 13 years ti >he t business and political conditions of that period, and call to mind the infantile feeble ness of our manufacturing Industrie at that time; when shoe factories and saw- factories were allo-wed to die or rot down for the want of a little financial nourishment; wiien in the great political campaign of 1888, two rampant, fiery dragons, Tariff and Trust, were rummag ing through the wheat field of the west and the cabbage patches of the east, robbing henroosts, and taxing the patches on the pocr man’s trousers, and none so bold as to stand before them,untii, like the knighted St. George, who buckled on his sword and slew the ancient dragon, so our braver Buffalo Knight, Grover Cleve land, armed with the old democratic blun derbuss of reform, loaded to the muzzle with blank cartridges and things, went forth to slay the devouring monsters and got slewed himself, (yes be got slewed.) When we contrast the condition of fath omless mud and slush of oiu: streets at that time, without sewers or drainage and no street cars, to our present clean, smooth, paved thoroughfares, with electric motors and street railways that take you from “ Az. ” Drake’s to Matamoras or Spanowbush in less time than it used to take to get over the Pike street cross ing on a rainy day ; when we take a seat in Lea’s elegant new Opera House on Sussex street and think how he used to scoop in the juvenile dimes with his ten <;ent shows in the old “ cock loft ” on the corner, up a long flight of stairs that we had to climb up on our hands and knees ; when we look back to the time when the corner of Pike and Front streets, where VanPleet’s elegant new block now stands and -where several generations of bed bugs and cockroaches had caroused in the old rookery, which had been standing there from the lime of our forefathers, and musty old chestnut jokes were warmed to life around its back room fires in the cold winter mornings. All this and more like it we look back to with pride in our progressiveness, it furnishes a lunch for rgflection and makes us proud of our re cord so far as we have got, regardless of results -whether real orimmaginaiy. At that time, in or about the year 1888, we bad only about twenty-five or thirty saloons and barrooms on Pike and Front streets, and many more near by ; then we had only fifteen lawyers practicing at the bar ; How many have we now ? Bars and barristers have done more to make business for Pori Jervis and keep it lively than all its manufacturing industries, or »ny other individual business. It has Jong been a cause of regret in my miiid that the same class of men could not be induced to lun our shoe factories and saw factories and other manufacEuriug concerns, and not let them rot down for the want of a combination of a little of their business sense, money and pluck, to grease the wheels with. ’^Che law is mighty, so is whiskey. The two together can run all the complicated political machinery of the great empire state. Then, why can’t the same kind of a combination be applied to manufactur ing and other business enterprises, whereby the poor laboring people earn their bread and calico? It would almost be as good as five dollars for a vote, and a dollar for a clay’s work, when they are Jucky enough to get it. We should like to see tl e scheme tried, but if we can’t, why it is of no use to weep over chickens that won’t hatch, or envy more prosperous neighboring communi ties like Middletown, who succeed under the same conditions that we fail. We have got some things in the last 13 years to be proud of anyhow. Our big new de pot, our new railroads to Hew York and the coal regions, our fine Opera House and new b’osiness blocks, where we had Old .amshackle shanties, electric motors, an elegant new hotel, where t’’e plucky little Eddie Geisenheimer started a free concert hall on the half shell in the eighties, Kadel’s big “ P a rk” uptown, with a big double barreled veranda on the outside and cut glass rye and ingin “ Iirigators” on the inside, and then we have got a new house of detention, where the lousy old jail was, with room for 20 guests, and foil ev.-ry night. We have got anew postmaster, but not of the tribe of Benjamin. The Baptist church has got a new steeple, and we have got a lib erty pole on Orange Square, and, last but not least, at least to one unre.<?pected fel low citizen, “ Old Chestnuts,” has got a new suit of clothes. They were fumiabed by the elother’s trust (limited),Schoonover & Thorpe, managers, V in Fleet’s block, “ Ouo C h e s t n u t ?.” (To U Continued) AN IMPORTANT .SPIT. Dociiled bj Justice Barnard—Judgiment for Plaintiff. In 1882 Miss Eliza Y. Stewart of this village, deeded by a full covenant deed, a house and lot on Owen street in this vil lage to Mrs. Eliza Ferguson, now of Mid dletown, who soon thereafter deeded the same premises to h tr son, John Ferguson, Jr. The title to tho lot failed, the same being in the heirs of Cok Samuel Fowler, deceased. John Ferguson, Jr., brought suit agaiust his mother, on the covenants in the deed to recover the pm'chase money, about f 1, 200 and interest. Mrs. Ferguson notified the administrators of Mrs. Stewart, who in the meantime had died, to defend her title, or the estate would be chargable with any recovery against her, with costs. On motion. Judge Brown allowed the ad ministrators to comt-in and defend upon filing a bond, to pay any judgment that might be recovered against Mrs. Fergu son. The administrators claimed that they ha-1 purchased the Fowler title under an agreement to compromise the suit in that way. The action was tried before Judge Barnard, at Poughkeepsie, on Hov 24, 1888, and he has filed his decision in the Olf-rk’a office, holding that there was no settlement and awarding judgment to the plaintiff for the full amount claimed,being the consideration mentioned in the deed, with six years interest, with costs and five per cent, extra allowance, W.

Mrs. Esther B. Myers, an aged resident of this village, died veiy '.suddenly of heart disease between the hours of two and five o’clock this morning at the real, dence of her daughter, Mrs, Libbie Myers Totten, No. 124 Pike street. Mrs Myers retried at about 10o’clock a«! usual last night, apparently in good health and spirit. Her daughter visited her room at about two o’clock and found her mother, as she thonght, sleeping soundly, and not wishing to disturb her returned to her own room. Upon arising this morning about five o’clock she went to her mother’s room and found her lying in the same position iu which she had seen her at two o’clock. She called to her, but received no answer, and upon stepping nearer to the bed was horrified to find that she was dead. Dr. Van Eiten was called and after making an examination, pronounced heart disea.se the cause of her death. Mrs, Myers was about 70 year? of age, and was born in the to-wn of Minisink. She has been a resident of this village for a number of years. She is survived by one sister, Mr.?, nl. T. Whitney of this vil la e, and one brother, Mr. Thomas G. Irwin of Canton, Bradford county, Pa. She leaves four children as follows; Nathaniel Myers of Huguenot, N. Y ,; Deniel of New York City; Mrs, W. S. Decker of Penu Eddy and Mrs. George Totten of this village, at whose residence she died. She was a consistent member of the Reformed church. The funeral will be held from her late residence.

Shay’s- GENIAL GIFT BEARERS A TOKEN OP FRIENDLY REGARD FROM W ARD HOSE, They Present a Handsom ely Framed Series of Resolutions to Port Jervis H o se—Tile Ceremony o f Presentation Takes Place at the Hose H o u se on Owen Street. Tho hose house of the Port Jervis Hose company on Owen street was, last night, the scene of one of those festive social cccasions which are productive of so much innocent enjeyment and which lin ger long in the memories of those who participate therein. On the occasion of the annual fire parade in this village on the 18th of Sep tember last, the Ward Hose company of Deposit were the guests of Port Jervis Hose company of this village, and the treatment which they received at the hands of their entertainers was so highly appreciated that on their return home they passed a series of resolutions, expressive of their appreciation, and had them engrossed on parchment and hand somely framed. A few days ago the officers of Hose 4 were notified that a dele gation from the Deposit company would come down to this village on Dea 11, for the purpose of presenting the en grossed resolutions. In expectation of this event, elabor ite preperations were made to give the Depo.sit delegation a suitable reception. The services of the wives and sweet hearts of the members were enlisted and with their assistance an elegant and bountiful .?u;per was prepared. The in terior of the Hose house on Owen street was handsomely and tastefully decorated for the occasion and -when the visitors ap peared upon the scene, the rooms persented a brilliant and cheerful appearance. The delegation from Deposit were seven in number, headed by foreman Perry, who made the presentation speech. He re ferred to the handsome treatment which their company had received at the hands of their entertainers, on the occasion of the parade and to the pleasant rela tions existing between the two com panies, which he trusted would long con tinue. Thanking the members of Port Jervis Hose for their royal hospitality cn that occasion, begged leave to present the resolutions. Counselor Wilton Bennet responded, iu behalf of the home company, in his elo quent and happy fashion. He said that the sentiments expressed by Mr. Perry were reciprocated by the Port Jervis company, and he thanked them for this token of their friendly regard, which would be received in the same fraternal spirit, that prompted the donors in giving it. On the 18th of September last,he said, the membera of the two companies were comparative strangers. To-day, senti ments of mutual attachment growing out of the events ol that day, has united the two companies in a bond of friendship and fraternal regard which he trusted would be long perpetuated. He closed by tbanking the Ward hose for its beaiiUful and appropriate gift. At the conclusion of the presentation ceremony, the company sat down to a fine supper, tlie course of wliich whs en livened by many a happy repartee, and brilliant sallies of wit. Supper over, the company were further entertained by some well rendered selec- tona by Martin’s orchestra. Dancing then commenced and continued until a late hour in the evening. About 40 couples were present. Among the in vited guests were President Shimer, Street commissioner Burns, and ex-trustee Jas. Martin. Y. M. C. A. LECTURE. Rev. Jos.

The burglars who have been operating extensively in this village for the past few months, last night visited the grocery store of John B. Eigan on .Jersey avem e and carried off a quantity of merchandise. They gained entrance to the building by climbing upon a shed occupied by the Matamoras Coal and Lumber company, which is .situated iu the rear of the storOj and forced open a window in the upper story. They then went down stairs and, with the aid of an auger, cut a hole in the door leading to the storeroom large enough to put their hand through and unlock the d.'or. Once inside they helped them selves to a q>:antity of cigars, tobacco, ham, sardines, flour, and other articles. A tub of batter is also thought by Mr. Eagan to be among the missing. The thieves also ransacked the money drawer and took its contents, which consisted of a quantity of small change. Having secured all they wanted they then left the store by the way they entered, leaving the door and window Prom the fact that the thieves took such a quantity of merchandise, it looks as though this, and the numerous other bur glaries which have taken place in this village lately, is the work of home talent. Our village officers have been looking up the matter to-day and will do all in their power to run the burglars down before they can do any further damage. SNOW IN SULLIVAN. Bear Hunters Getting Ready to Commence Operations. Snow has\ fallen in Monticello and vicinity, to sufficient depth to make good sleighing and no doubt the streets of that lively little town are now alive with the lerry jingle of sleigh bells. Eli S5 ili McMillen of the Moniicello road yesterday brought (town news that there had been a considerable fall of snow at Gilmans, on the previous night and that the tracks of an immense hear had been discovered in the freshly fallen snow near that station. This intelligence created the greatest excitement among the bear slaiing fraternity of this village, which includes some of the most successful hunt ers in the country. Shortly after the ex citing intelligence had reached this town, lawyers W H. Crane and Amos VanEtten were observed to be holding a very earn est conference on the streets and it is thought probable that they were arrang ing the preliminaries of a grand bear hunt in the wilds of Sullivan county. “ BIG DAN ” DISCHARGED. But Little Dan and Heddy Committed to GoBlien Jail. Little and big Dan Oonkling, and Na- thaniel Htddy, the three prisoners who were recently arrested by officers Post and Martin, on a charge of being the par ses who assaulted farmer Horton Clark of Unionville, were taken to that place on Monday evening,by officer Martin andex- uminsd before Justice Joshua Case on Tuesday morniog. The evidence given warranted the sup position of guilt on the part of Heddy ana little Dan Oonkling, and they wereac- acoordingly committed by the justice to await the action of the grand jury. Big Dan Oonkling, however, proved to the satistaction of the court, that he was in Sparrowbush at the time the assault was committed and he was therefore di - charged. Heddy and little Dan were brought back to town last night and this morning were taken to Goshen jail. VISIT OF GRAND OFEICERS.

Itema of Interest From the Great Iron Thoroughfares. The legal entanglements and ail other difficulties in the way of the completion of the Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie & Boston railroad have at last been finally adjusted, and (luring the past six weeks, the company and its contractors have been busily at work with the preliminaries in cident to the speedy completion of the road. In Pennsylvania the rights of way have all been paid for in hard cash and during the past three weeks a number of the rights of way through properties in Sussex county have been rapidly and quietly settled, and in perhaps less than two weeks the contractors will begin the work of completing the line across the state. During the present week the line of the road between Deckertown and Pine Island has been let and the prospects are that the road will be completed between Pine Island and Baleville by the first of February. Four corps of surveyors are now at work on the upper end of the line. The line will be completed as rapidly as weather will permit. A large working force of men will be put at work at in tervals along the entire line. The road will connect with the Poughkeepsie bridge\and will be used as an independ ent line in connection with that enter prise. The road will be combined with the Pine Island and Montgomery branches of the Erie, making a direct route to the bridge. Some changes will be made in the original line. It is as yet not decided as to what changes will be made near Deckertown. A number of courses will be run. Mr. W. W. Gibbs of PMladei phia, IS President of the new road.— Deckertown Independent. BAN OVBB HIS HEAD, When extra freight train 391 pulled out of the Corning yard, about 4 o’clock Monday morning, brakeman. Micbae Kane of Hornellsville was missed. Th< train was side-tracked at Painted Post, and a search begun, which finally resuUer in finding the mangled body of the misp- ing man near the Chemung street cross ing, Corning. His head was crushed, both legs had been severed, and one arm hung by the fleso. He had evident!j fallen from a car and dragged along the track, as a piece of the skull was founci on the tr ck and a trail of blood led to the spot where the body was found. Twr following trains had passed over his body. The deceased was about 28 years of age, and had been on the railroad but a short time. A GOOD FBBLINO ATt- ABOUND. The Erie recently extended to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Piramen, an fxoursioix from Hornellsville to Buffalo, and furnished all the facilities possible for those who attended. The Brother hood in return passed resolutions thank ing the Erl© officials for their kindness, and were pleased that the company so far recognized them as to be in harmony with them as subordinate employes. Little acts of this kind on the part of the railroads go farther towards building up good feeL mgand businesa than all the “ bulldoz ing,’’ which is too often resorted to, and which sometimes incites cosily strikes.— Evening Sun. JEFFERSONVILLE BONDS. The Erie has authorized an issue of $2,800,00 bonds bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum, secured by a first mortgage upon the Jefferson road, between Carbondale and Susquehanna, such bonds to run 20 years, the Erie guaranteeing a rental sufficient to pay in terest.

Honor to whom honor is due. ” Our much esteemed townsman Harrison Beecher, was the recipient of a very fine turkey, through the kindness and generos ity of Mr. George Proctor of the Delaware House of Fort Jervisf to reward him for his energy and perseverance in laboring for the good cause of the republican party of Tusted and Sullivan counties. Mrs. Colonel Gardner prepared the fowl for he table. Then she, with Mr. Beecher and his family and Wm. D. Bross, ex-asses- 5or of the town, with wife and daugh- '.er fared sumptuously on Thanksgiving ' lay, at his home with thankful hearts o all, tor the well earned turkey. Harri- -on is the right man in the right place, md it IS hopeful, he will be amply re- varded on his visit to the White House, ‘u March 4. “ Tall oaks from little acoms row.” If the town had a few more such vorkers as Harrison Beecher and Wm. 0. Bross, the democrats would be obliged to take the back seat in Tusten. Mr. Erastus Beecher, father of Harrison Beecher was born at Litchfield, Conn., in 1799-aad voted for Wm. Henry Harrison. Ur. Beecher at present resides in Dutchess county, N. Y. That county, by a demo- cratic estimate, gave the county to Cleve- r 250 and when the republicans gave their estimate on Nov. 6, they re versed the table and gave Harrison 1,000 majority. Harrison Beecher through a re quest of his father, wrote to Benj. Harri son, saying his father voted for his grand father, Wm. H ., Harrison, in 1840 and ;o live tc vote for the grandson in 1888, which he did. In a few weeks Harrison Beecher received an answer, from the now President-elect, thanking him for his kind letter and wishing his sincere regards and best wishes conveyed to his honored father. On Gen. Harrison’s way to Savannah in 1865 he was taken sick on the cars, was taken off at Narrows burg and carried to Mr. Murray's house. He mentioned the kindness, to him, dur ing his illness by those managing the hotel. Pour years ago he stopped at Narrows burg and found Mr. C. H.
