ekta b likhb C' nsr isu7. NEW SERIES N0.42G CORTLAND, N. Y., TUESDAY, APRIL 4. L893.-EIGHT PAGES. t PRICE THREE CENTS. ’ TWO BGiAAtm A YEAR WORDS FROM THE SOUTH. A a Interesting L etter From a Former Normal Student. Through the courtesy of Mr. II. M. Kellogg we are permitted to publish the following highly interest ing letter from Mr. A. L. DeMoncl, a graduate of the Cortland Normal school in the class of June, 1889, who is now teaching in Fort Payne, A labama: F ort P ayne , Ala., Feb. 25, 1893. Mr. H. M. Kellogg: My D e a r Friend—I wrote you a short letter some time ago in which I briefly thanked you for your kindness in sending the things for our school. I promised you that I would write you more later. You can hardly realize the good which those many things did. The hooks enabled us to start our school library which now contains nearly 200 volumes and these books are now being read by boys and girls who did not know the alphabet when I came to Fort Payne less than four years ago. The papers also contained m uch reading matter that we are making good use of. Everything that was sent was put to good use and very h ighly appreciated. Our Christmas tree was the largest and finest in town, either among the white or colored people. I am very glad that our appeal found such a ready response among Cortland *friends. «Snch gifts as that are a great help. The people of the North who desire to help the colored people cannot do better than to contribute toward schools in the lonely places of the land. This school which I am teaching is the only colored school in session in this county. While it continues the colored have a school: when it stops they have none. Ifc is to such . school* \as this that colored peoph must look for the education of theii children. Such schools as this are tin only one3 that can ever reach the grea- mass of colored people. Often when 1 feel discouraged, the thought comes tt me, that I am doing a work that but for my humble efforts would remain undone Often when encouraged to seek places with larger salary, pleasanter surround ings and more of social life, I look about e and see that there is no one to take my place, no one to love and lead these children as I have tried to do and so I remain, hoping to do my duty and if I am faithful, receive my reward sonn time. I am hoping to enlarge and ad vance our work here. My school is now aided to some extent by the American Missionary association of New Yorl City. We are i n ‘ need of desks and school furniture. We do not need much, but the little that we do need we neeo very badly. If you know of any friends that would be willing to contribute even a small amount towards our work here I would be glad to have them writ* either to me or to Dr. F. P. Woodbury, Bible House, New York, N. Y. I am expecting to come North next summer. I think that I shall be in Cort land some time in August. Mobs and lynch-law seem to be tbe order of the day in this part of the South just now Yet I have reason to believe that th<- days ©f such lawless violence are nearly at an end even here in the South. Gov. Hogg of Texas and Gov. Jones ot Alabama have both in public messages declared the men who take part in mob* and lynchings to be no less than high handed murderers, and the Chattanooga Times, one of the leading daily papers of the South, says that the recent lynch ing in that place has given Chattanooga a black eye. Such words as these com ing from the source that they do cannot fail to have an effect in forming public opinion in favor of law and order. I d overleaping legal bounds to injure the Negro the white people of the South have injured themselves. I am glad that the Negro can always be found on the side of law and order, The legislature of this state at Mont gomery has just had a long debate over a bill that purposed to adopt the Austra lian system of voting. Many able Dem ocrats have opposed the bill because they say that it w ill disfranchise m ore ii'hites th a n blacks. An old Confederate soldier said to me the other d ay : “Your people are taking more interest in education than the whites are.” One of the white teachers of this county invited me to visit his school some time ago. I did not accept the invitation but from the depths of m y heart I thanked him for the favor. Things like that give me hope for the future. Well, I must close. Re member me to your wife and family and all other Cortland friends. Yours truly, A. L. D e M ond . Easter Wedding. Deatli of Mrs. Samson. Mar.l3.—Mrs. Jane R. Samson died at 9 o’clock this morning as the result of a paralytic shock sustained March 19. The deceased was born in Montrose, Pa., and married Mr. John Samson in 1853 when they came to Cortland. Mr. Samson died Feb. 1, 1890. She was a deaconess of the Congregational church of Cort land. She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Car oline Fairchild and Miss Almira C. Pal mer. The funeral will be held from her late residence at 17 Charles-st. Sun day at 1:30 p. m. and at the Congrega tional church at 2 P. M. v - Mar 31 —A quiet liomo wedding took place at the pleasant residence of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Brownell on Greenbnsh- st. last evening when their niece Mi*s Cynthia Brownell of McGrawville and Mr. Carleton Belden of ihe same place were united in the holy bonds of matri mony.

The nride was very becom ingly attired in a dovo colored lansdowne and carried a bouquet of pink roses and never looked more beau tiful than on this occasion. The brides maid, Miss Claribel Warren, carried a bouquet of cream colored roses which matched the rich cream cashmere which she wore. . Mr. Harvey E. Scone of Free town acted as best man. The house was tastily decorated with Easter lilies and other cut flowers and presented a very brilliant appearance. The contract ing parties stood in the bow window where tbe ceremony was performed by Rev. E. J. Brooker of McGrawville. A bountiful wedding supper was served immediately after tbe ceremony. Tbe happy couple left on the late train for Utica amid a shower of rice, old shoes and the good wishes of their many friends.

Alex ander, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Perry, .Mr. and Mrs, Arza Chapin, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Brownell and William Angel of Cortland, A G athering a t th e “ W igwam.” The New Paltz Times of March 29 contains the following item which will interest Cortland county people: •‘A very delightful reception was given >y Mrs. Isabel N. Tillingliast, Miss Gage, Miss Freeman and Miss Kate M. Denison >n Saturday evening last, in honor of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Nelson who were 'pending a few days with tbeir daughter, Mrs. Tilliogbast. The cordial and grac ous hospitality of the Wigwam is one of its many charms, and there was no lack on this occasion of thatgayefcy and good- •omradtship which seem to ‘ 'breathe from the walls” of this tasteful little home. The guests were received by Sirs, rillingbast, Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Nelson and Miss Denison. A program of recita tions by Miss Villa F. Page and Mies Denison, and music by the Alpha Pi Nu quartette consisting of Messrs. Jones, Millspaugh, Minard and Weeks had been provided for entertainment, and proved all too short, notwithstanding the enthus iastic encores which all received. Choice and delicate refreshments were served on small tables during the evening. ’ ’ About a Former Cortland Man. The Ft. Dodge, la., Chronicle speaks chusly of the lecture delivered at Tobin college by Iiev. 0. J. Greenwood: “The lecture at the college last evening by C. J. Greenwood was highly appreciated by those who heard it. Mr. Greenwood is an eloquent speaker and his lecture was of a high literary order replete with pure gems of beautiful thoughts which were so managed as to form a chain of gold links, most excellent in stylo and har monious in arrangement. Such efforts cannot fail to inspire a desire for pure literature and intellectual enjoyment. The student who desires to rise in the scale of intellectual culture will drink in those brilliant thoughts and lay them aside for future harvests which will ripen into beauty, strength and useful ness in the years to com 9 , Like begets like in the intellectual as well as physical. The proceeds in dollars and cents were not large, but in good results upon the minds and hearts of the hearers they were beyond estimation. A Good Plan. At the regular meeting of die protective police last evening a committee was appointed to wait on the board of trustees and request them to have the mode of giving an alarm of fire changed. As it is now, when the lever to a box is pulled down it rings the num ber of a box three times. Ifc is proposed that after this alarm has been sounded to have the janitor ring the bell by band, giving a general alarm in order that there will be no mistake of there being a fire. The number of the box will then he re peated and the regular aud general alarms alternated according to the loca tion and fierceness of the fire. Tfii 3 seems to be a good plan as the alarms sent out by broken wires have fooled the firemen many times, so tbat when there is a fire they can hardly be blamed for notwantmg to leave their cosy homes. THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY. Grover Woman’s Relief Corps, No. 96, Will Celebrate th e Occasion. The ladies of the organization will celebrate their sixth anniversary by giving a supper in Grand Army hall, Welch block, on the corner cl‘ Railroad arid Main-sts. on Thursday evening, April G, from 5 to 8 o’clock. This corps is celebrated for its good suppers. The ladies have just been to large expense for carpet and furniture for their corps rooms and they wish to make a little money by this supper. They deserve the hearty and cordial support of their friends and the public generally. Supper will be served for the small sum of 25 cents each. Give them a most liberal patronage. Everybody will be welcome and will get more than their moneys worth. Keep your eye on the date, Thursday. April G. Presbyterian Church. There were Easter services at the Presbyterian church both morning and evening Sunday. Tho pulpit was tas tily banked with potted plants and cut flowers. The music by choir and organ was particularly fine. Special mention should be made of the soprano solo by Miss Golvin with violin accompaniment by Mr. A. E. Darby. The pastor, preached Easter sermons on both occasions. The communion of the Lord's supper was observed in the morning and one person united with the church by confession of faith and two by letter.

There were 105 graduates and* Dr. Parker stood at the head of his class, having passed almost a perfect examination. Rush is one of the largest and wealthiest mtdical colleges in this country. It is part of the Great Lake university. Its faculty is com posed of some of the very best physicians in tlie land. Each one is an author and an authority in his particular branch.

Cortland friends of Dr. Parker will be glad to learn of his success in his new home. April Fooled. April 3—Three well known and highly popular Normal young ladies were walking up Main-st. Sat urday afternoon, and when in front of Mr. H. M. Kellogg’s hard ware store endeavored to pick up a key on the sidewalk. One of the young ladies found that ifc was impossible to pick up the shining piece of steel, which was laid out so invitingly, without re moving her mitten. This she accord ingly did, but jusfc as she was about to gain possession of the coveted article a grave-facedl boy who was standing near pulled a string and the key disappeared with great alacrity. They remembered that it was April 1 and didn’t make any further effort to secure the key. Norm al R h etorical s.

Apr. 1—Chief of Police Sager had quite a tussle in arresting George Luce near Mrs. W. W. Gale’s millinery store about 10 o'clock this morning. The man was manifestly intoxicated and the chief, thinking that he needed rest, took hold of him and endeavored to usher him in a very gentlemanly manner to the “cooler.” Luce did not appreciate Mr. Sager’s polite but firm manner, and re sisted. In endeavoring to get a new hold the front of Luce’s clothes were tpru open and the prisoner came near escaping and leaving his wearing apparel in the hands of the officer. The latter succeeded, however, .Ater a little pursuasion in getting the man as far as the door of tne lockup. When the door was opened the man caught hold of the sides and stoutly re fused to enter. He changed bis mind somewhat after renewed pursuasion on the part of the chief, add is at present sobeiing up in the cell. Wreck on th e D , L. & W. Apr. 1—An accident which blocked the tracks for over an hour occurred yesterday afternoon about a quarter of a mile this side of the D,, L. & W. station at Binghamton, where the D. & H. rail road crosses the D., L. & W. O wing to a misunderstanding of the signals while the milk train No. 198, which leaves Cortland at 10:55, was crossing the D & EL tracks a D. & II. freight train which was pulling in at the same time ran into the milk train, demolishing two milk cars and smashing the D. & II. engine quite badly. The wreck blocked the tracks so that the vestibuled train which geis here at 4 :30 P. M. was an hour and twenty-five minutes late in pulling out of Binghamton. The south bound track was cleared first and the vestibuled train ran up as far as Che nango Forks, where it was switched 011 the north bound track. The 4 :30 train pulled into Cortland at 5 :52 P. M. and the G :32 train at 7:24 P. M. Not Going to Leave. Mar. 31—The students of the interme diate department at the Normal fairly besieged tlieir principal, Mr, Thomas J, MeEvoy, yesterday afternoon with la ments over a report that started from nobody knows where that he had re signed and that to-day was to be his last day at the school, A Standard reporter also heard tbe report, doubted it and went to see Mr, McEvoy to prove ids fal sity, and was able to do so to his entire satisfaction. Mr. McEvoy has not thought of leaviiog and was perfectly dumb founded at the report when it first came to him yesterday. He is a very superior teacher and his departure would be a great loss to the school and a cause of deep grief' to his pupils. The truth of tho latter fact was fully illustrated yes terday at the dismay with which the re port was received. The Brown Concert. The Brown University Glee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs in the midst of a highly successful trip will be in Cortland next Tuesday night.
