HerbHfiyard, of Massenji, was' in town the past week. The annual picnic given by the R. C. church was as usual a success, ATiMf Wmm \dowtf\*ttOifi- 'Ogden-S-- 1 bur$ ott the steamer Algona, and each trip of the Alaska from Morris- burg brought crowds from there, besides a number from the adjoining towns. ' In the base ball contest the silver cup was won by the Ogdens- burgteam. Inthe evening several of tip young people enjoyea a social hop in the hall, Among those who attended from out of town were Miss •*!$«,•-••Ifcksjs Carney, Bacon and tel^niOf MasSenaj_Mr. and Mrs. ,.j)ii^lf41p-«isse*>>wears, Wadash and Hepburn, Messrs Fisher, Robin- son Wears and Hosford, of Madrid. P. O. Martin, of this town, is employed as the hair dresser at the State Hospital, Point Airy. He received there on the 26th of August a letter purporting to-be written by Dr. S. J. Bower, informing him that his son here, a young man of Borne eighteen years, had fallen from the top of the dam and received such injuries that his life was despaired of, and also desiring him to come and bringdown with him Dr. Madill. Mr. Martin in great haste went for Dr. Madill to the. city and came with, him to Waddington, to find that the wnole thing was a cruel, heartless and criminal forgery, supplemented by a string of wicked falsehoods. The matter is now in the hands of an atternet and every effort will be \Tfle to ferret out the perpetrator, ih it is hoped will prove success ' Dr. Madill is naturally quite {disconcerted with reference to the affair and has offered one hundred dollars reward for information that may lead to the identity of the criminal, while Dr. Bower offers the sum; of ten dollars for the same purpose. It is thought the postoffice authorities here may throw some light on the affair,, which has created no little sensation in our usually quiet village.. Our city fathers are making quiet but rapid progress in erecting the plant for the electric lights and waterworks, there being now some fifteen men employed, including laborers, masons andcarpenters. H. Dalzell has taken the contract to furnish pump, wheel and dynamo with erection of power house, setting up poles and stringing^ wires. For some two thousand dollars, a fifty horse power will be furnished here within a few weeks, and this can be increased at a small additional outlay to 100 horse power, taking up but twenty feet of the dam, which is some 500 feet long. Notice here the vast power to be had at a nominal expenditure. Parties from abroad are already negotiating to purchase electric power from tne corporation. Now that the people themselves have taken hold, we may reasonably ex pect developments m this direction. nMkfMk. ~ Aug. 28.—Mrs.. James Cooiiff and children returned to Ogdensburg last Friday.

St.' L«wre«ee. An Albany despatch under date of last Thursday when the Jbsarmg be- fore the rauroad oamfftiiWHon /was by the Delaware & Hudson, but op- posed by Dr. W. Seward Webb. A telegram was received from Dr. Webb asking for an adjournment, and his request granted, the bearing being set down for Tuesday of this week. The Cornwall Freeholder, speak- ing of the work on the bridge, says: \The south bridge, which will be what is known as a Pratt truss, wfll be built first, and the erection of the « ie*s will begin almost immediately, here will be three spans of S70 feet each, and a height of 37$ feet above hignwater mark. The bridge over the north channel will be a cantilever, and a swing bridge over the canal. The height of the main bridge will be 60 feet above high water, with a span of 430 feet across, the channel, and ibwo cantilevers of 210 feet each. The swingJwidge will be 240 feet long;, and 37 feet above the canal; In the construction of the north bridge an ingenious plan will be adopted. In stead of derricks and to obviate the necessity of mooring s'iows in so swift a channel as exists in the main river at that point, a wire cable will be carried from the main land to the island from high towers. The stone and other materials for, the piers will be swung over on this cable. The machinery for the towers will arrive shortly, when their con- struation will be undertaken. Tne two bridges will be connected by a line across the island, U miles long, the south bridge being about a quarter of a mile further east than the north one. The piers will be built by Sooysmith & Co., of New York, whose office is in the building on Second street, lately vacated by A. McCracken & Co. The local representative is Mr. Adgate. The Phoenix Bridge Co., of Phoenixville, Pa., who will put up the super- structure, have not as yet appeared on the scene but will be here in good time.\ Sooysmith & Co., contractors and bridge builders, who have a job on the bridge have made a contract with the St. Regis Indians through their attorney, District attorney Paddock of Malone, for 80.000 cubic yards of Stone to be quarried on the reservation, and will bring $4.0U0 to the Indians. The rock is of lime foundation and will be used for piers on the American side. .FASTEST 'jytttJg.il* jffiftifcBJ Reeonl to *:6» I** ^ v « At Beadvule. ^H^tfiOn^ ing stallion, Star pQinter, dwi James A, Mnrphy, wiped ou%'' the two^nttttt-ffeMvWd;; \ centtoi^r iwr for yewrS**tOth*i ' HI The OBSERVER to new subscribers from now until December 1,1897, for only 25 cents.
