'The followgin is taken from the Cort land Evening Standard and will be of Interest to the local firemen: Mr. M. F. Cleary returned home yes- terday from attending a meeting of the executive committee of the State Fire- men's association at Lockport, Wednes- day. 'The committee was well pleased with the city as the location for the State Firemen's convention on August 18, 19, 20 and 21. 'The citizens of Lock- port have interested themselves and will throw open their doors far the en- tertainment of the firemen. 'The tax- payers have voted an appropriation of $3,100 to defray the expenses, whichis a deviation from the old way of raising money by subscription. All the public buildings will be at the disposal of the visitors and a grand gala day is ex- pected. Lockport has about 20 miles of paved streets which are well shaded and will be a nice place for the parade. \The members of the committee and the officers of the association were tend- ered a banquet Wednesday night by the Mayor and Common Council.

Wednesday night when the mayor and common counsil were talking with the officers and committee regarding the banquet in August frequent reference was made to the banquet it the time of the state convention in Cortland in 1888 and all agreed that If Lockport could provide as good a banquet as did the Indies of Cortland on that occasion she would be doing herself proud.

ALBERT VAN DEWALKER WHO RAN AWAY WITH JOHN BOSTWICK IN 1882 AND CAME TO LOCKPORT TO LIVE 'TRIES TO ELOPE WITH ANOTHER JOHN- BU'F NO. 2 WAS LOCKED UP AT UWFICA. 'The following dispatch from Utica relates to a woman who resided for a time in. Lockport. The woman is Mrs. Albert Van Dewalker, and another chapter in her checkered career is told by the report: Thursday morning the Utica police re- ceived notice from Holland Patent to be on the lookout for a supposed run- away couple, John Roger Jones and Mrs. Albeit Van Dewalker. Accord- ingly when the noon train arrived from the north Officer Shafer arrested Jones. He was very much surprised. He is 83 years old and a laborer. He said he is guiltless, He had expected to see Mrs. Van Dewalker instead of Officer Shafter, Mrs. Yan Dewalker had ar rived in Utica on an earlier train having boarded it at Stittville. For about two hours she waited for him at the Central station and a short time before the train came she went uptown to the residence of a relative. She says she does not think her husband cares for her and did not know why he should. She said she was married in 1877, when she was 16 years of age, and five years after- ward she deserted her husband and two babies and ran away with John Bostick 'of Western. 'They went to Lockport and resided for six months, and then, in April, 1882, her mother learned of her whereabouts and took her to Remsen, where her grandmother lived. In the meantime, so Mrs. Van Dewalker says her husband applied for a divorce, be- cause of her infidelity, and a decree was entered at a term of court held in Rome. Despite this fact Mr. Van Dewalker took his wife under his roof tree again, and they have lived together since as man and wife, although no legal cere- mony has re-established them as such. Mrs. Van Dewalker excuses her con- duct at this time by saying that. she does not know whether or not she is the wife of Mr. Van Dewalker. The erring woman is the mother of a son and two daughters, Morris, aged 17, Ituby, aged 15, and Jennie, aged 12. The latter was born two years after she had returned from her escapade with Bostick. Her husband is a hard work- Ing man, and has a 200 acre farm near Holland Patent, * Jones has a wife and five children. 'They have the respect of all and much sympathy in their trouble. Fan Dewalker was one of the jurors on the Hildreth case at Rome. 'They had intended to go away last Monday night,.but their plans were frustrated by Holland Patent parties. About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Constable George Owens returned to Hollan Patent from Utica with Jones. Jonés could get plenty of work to do in the village if 'he wished it. Her mother, Mrs. Robert Watkins, tried by persua- sion to prevent her daughter from leay- ing home. but she would not listen. Mrs. Watkins is heartbroken and has left her house at Holland Patent and is with her niece at Remsen. Jones bought a satchel at one of the stores in Holland Patent last week and secreted it at one of the livery barns, but it was dis- covered by the proprietor, who at once came to the conclusion that a runaway was on the program. Tuesday evening in Holland Patent Jones and Delos Evans came near blows, as Jones ac- cused him of passing remarks about him and Mrs. Van Dewalker. Mrs. ¥gn Dewalker took the matter very cofily before leaving her home, as she cooked Infiny things for the family before she eft. It is said that Jones wrote a letter to Mrs. Van Dewalker at the time that her husband was on the Hildreth jury at Rome, and the same was received by her son and daughter at the East Floyd postoffice, They opened it and read the contents. It is also said that Mrs. Jones has letters written by Mrs. Yan De- walker to her husband in her posses- sion.. Jones was taken back to Holland Patent, his home, and the following from that place tells what was done with him: * John K. Jones was arraigned before Justice Pride in this village Thursday evening. Mrs. Jones, wife of the de- fendant, wha swore out the warrant for the arrest of her husband on the ground of non-support and disorderly conduct, was sworn and said that her husband had given her about $2 a week for the past five weeks, and previous to that during the winter that she re- ceived nothing from him, and would have been entirely destitute were it; not for the charity of three families of this village. The case was then ad- jJourned until 8 o'clock this morning. Jones signed an agreement to pay his wife $2.50 a week and not to visit the Yan Dewalker woman. The case was then adjourned til July 3.

Mrs. Margaret Forgarty lives near the boat Jamestown. Michael Finnegan is a neighbor. Saturday evening Finnegan got a good supply of intoxicants and went over to see Mrs. Fogarty. 'They both drank often and plenty. After a while they got quarrel some. Later they got to fighting. The children of Mrs. Fogarty tried to quiet them, but the mother answered their pleadings by. throwing lamps and dishes at them, driving them out of the house. Finnegan and Mrs. Fogarty followed into the street and defied the whole neighborhood to come and get whipped. A large crowd had gathered when Officer Simon Peterson came up- on the scene about midnight. Finne- gan saw the officer coming and ran away, but Mis. Fogarty was braver. The officer came up to her and ordered her into the house. Instead of going she struck straight out with her right and landed on the office:'s nose. Again and again she struck and a-rough-and- tumble scene followed. The crowd cheered. The patrol wagon was sent for Mrs. Fogarty did not want to ride in the wagon and in order to avoid do- ing so she began disrobing and stood in the' street before the 100 spectators in an Eve costume. When the wagon ar- rived officers wrappd her clothing about her as best they could and load- ed her into the wagon and started for the lock-up. She fought all the way to the jail, and it took three officers to hold her in the wagon. She was finally landed in the cooler and put in a cell to sleep off her jag. She will be given a sermon, and maybe more, by Justice Yates. Finnegan will also be arrested when his whereabouts are learned. William Fleuwellen, a carpenter re- cently in the employ of George Hae- berle of Niagara Falls, and residing at No. 484 Sixth Street, has been missing from home since last Tuesday noon and no trace of him has been found. He ate his dinner that day and left his house as if going to work. He has a wife and two children and they are greatly concerned as to his where- abouts. Flawellen was addicted to drink and has been several time arrest- ed for drunkenness but never left his home as at present.. A quarrel occurred between a man and woman stopping at the Arlington Hotel in Jamestown, Saturday, that threatened for a time the safety of the woman. 'The proprietor called an of- ficer, and the man, who also proved to be the husband of the woman, was placed under arrest and taken to the guard-house. 'The man is Eugene Mum ford, a hotel clerk of Sheffield, Pa. Ac- cording to the story of the wife, their home was in Erie until some time igo, when Mumford secured the Sheffield position. While there he formed the acquaintance of Mrs. Libbie Dubois, a woman with a husband and three children.. After a short acquaintance, the two eloped, going, it was learned liter, to Dallas, Tex. , Mrs. Mumford, the deserted wife, heard of, their whereabouts, and, being a woman o some means, followed then there. She found them and persuaded her hus- band to return home, she paying his railway fare and also that of the woman with whom he went away to Pensylyvania. Shorfly after their re- turn to Sheffield the couple again left, this time coming to Jamestown, where they were again found by Mrs. Mum- ford. The Dubois woman was per- suaded to leave the city, while Mum- ford and his wife remained here. The Dubois woman had hardly got out of sight when Mumford became angry at his wife and began abusing her, and it was this that led to the arrest. Mumford is still in charge of the of- ficers, and the heart-broken and devét- ed wife is at a loss what to do. He will have a hearing Monday, Shortly before midnight Sunday night Chief of Police Dinan, Sergt. Mil- ler, Officers Batts and Sengleuah ent ered the Syracuse House on Main Street north of Falls Street, and arrested five young men for gambling, and Daniel Delano, the proprietor, for keeping a gambling house. Justi¢e Parker held a midnight court and all of the men were arraigned. Delano pleaded not guilty, and was released on $500 bail to appear to-morrow morning. The other men gave fictitious names as fol- lows: H. Wilber, L. W. Johns, C. Ward David Johnson, and William Stanton. \The first four pleaded guilty and were fined $10 each. Stanton pleaded not guilty and sentence was suspended. They all live here and had the necessary equipment. . The case of M. K. Warner of Olean against the village of Randolph for in- juries alleged to have been received by reason of a bridge being without proper railing, and the plaintiff having fallen therefrom, was tried for the second time at Little Valley last week before Judge Spring. Warner sued. the village for $5,000, and the jury after hearing the evidence awarded him $1,000 damages. Thrasher of Dayton were attorneys for Warner, while the town was represent- ed by Alexander Wentworth of Ran- diph and Frank W. Stevens of James- town. Mr. Warmer claims to have re- ceived permanent injuries which affect his back and spine. . 'T. H. Dowd of Salamanca and W. S.

Our Washington Correspondent Makes Suggestions. STILL THE SPEAEER HESITATES. Walter Wellman Tells What the: Big Brainy Man From Maine Is Thinking About-And the Speaker Will Read It With Pleasure. , WASHINGTOX,,. May 22. - [Special.] - There is a great deal of discussion here as to whether or not Speaker Reed will ac- cept the vice presidential nomination in case the Republican national convention proffers him that honor. ~ Of course the speaker himself refuses to discuss the mat- ter. Ho is still a candidate for first place on the ticket and could not, with propriety, take under serious consideration any prop- osition concerning the second place. But Mr. Reed's most intimate friends do talk about it, and I have discussed the matter with several of them. The best that can ba said at this time is that the speaker bas not made up his mind concerning the vice presidency. He does not want It. Io is not a place which appeals 'to his ambition in any way. Yotb he may decide to take it in case the party drafts him. He does not view the suggestion with the scorn and disgust which some people have supposed. He does not look upon the vice presidential ' talk concerning himself as an insult, as, indeed, there is no reason why he should. Three Broad Avenues, } As nearly as I can get at the heart of tnx case the friends of the speaker and Mr. Reed himself have given up hope of his nomination for first place in the St. Louls: convention. But Mr. Resd has not by any means abandoned his ambition to be president of the United, Stites. He is only waiting and trying to shape his pres- ent course with that objective point in view. Considering that hestill has White House aspirations, the speaker now has before him three courses from which to choose. 'These are: .. rey 0 First.-To come back to the house as the member from Portland, seek re-elec- tion to the speakership and continue busi- ness at the old stand. Second.-To retire for a time from pub- lio life, go to New York city and take up the practice of law with a view to the rapid acquirement of a fortune and also to mingling ultimately in the politics of that state, and perhaps becoming the New- York candidate for the presidency in 1900 or 1904. ‘ , - Third.-To accopt the vice presidential pomination, in case the convention thrusts s it upon him, go to the senate and endeavor [.. to makoa record there. . Between theso three suggestions the: speaker hesitates. As to the first, it is likely it would be his choice without much further discussion if. he were only assured of the speakership in the next congress, But he is not. 'While the probabilities are ho could be ve-elected, ib is admitted by. the speaker's friends that be has made many enemics during the past winter.\ In carrying out his policy he bas found it} necessary to offend a great many Repub- licans. Mr. Rood is not as strong a loader dow as ho was ab the boginning of the ses- wion. No-one can tell how great the oppo- sition to his re-election might be. It might I easily become large enough to end in his overthrow, and to come back fo the house and fail to secure the speakership would be a groat humiliation, an unfortunate ending of a brilliant career. e Tired of the Speakership, ' Even if successful in- obtaining the speakership for another congress, Mr. Reed now knows that the speaker's chair is nob the most advantageous place from which to pursue the presidency. A speaker must: friends. Hais constantly surrounded. by pressure of a thousand sorts, and he must set his face against nineteenth-twentieths of it. 'The life of a-speaker of the house is described by one of Mr. Reed's most in- timate friends as an approximation to hades on earth. He knows no rest, no peace. 'They are after him all the time. They waylay him on the street, invade his rooms at his hotel, besiege him at the cap- \The little bills\ are always in evi- dence. Mr. Reed. has tired of this sort of thing, and i is m question with him whether the game is worth the candle. The second proposition appeals strongly to Mr. Reed. He is a poor man. Proba- bly $15,000 or $20,000 would cover all his earthly. possessions. He wants money with which to bo independent, with which to assure the future of his family.. He has. - been told that he could earn $50,000 or $60,000 a year if he were to go to New York city and practice law. Heis advised that he could do this,; too, without drop- ping out of the public notice. The ex» perience of Rosece Conkling is constantly: held before his eyes by those friends who want him to adopt this course. Mr. Conk- ling made. money rapidly and could easily have returned to politics 'had he desired. | 'The argument is that in a few years Mr. Reed could acquire independent means, and then, by identifying himself with New York politics, he might reach the presidency through the commanding in- fluence which the Empire State holds in the nation. He would not forfeit the sup- port of Maine and some of the other New England states. Mrs. Reed, who does not like public life, is using ber influence in favor of this course, and it is considerable. Until within the last ten days the proba- ° bilities have seemed to favor a decision in favor of temporary retirement from (the political arena. , He May Accept Second Place,. Of late, however, it is discovered that Mr. Reed has looked with more favor upon , the vice presidential scheme. -Every one here says that unless Reed does something to stop it the national convention -will nominate him -by acclamation, and some of the speaker's most intimate friends have about reached the conclusion that he will not stop it. | 'While he is not anxious for the place he could accept,it as evidence of his devotion to the party. He could place it upon the basis of obeying a'command rather than as a thing which he had de- sired. ,.No doubt this would be wholly cor- rect. - Nor'can there be any doubt that the party at large would appreciate the mo- tives which might induce Mr. Reed to sac- rifice his pride to some extént in order to go upon the ticket.. It would popularize him immensely. As a candidate for vice president he could stump the country; thus getting nearer to the people and look- ing to the future, (As vice president he might easily contrive to effect some re- forms or changes in the senate along with the Republican majority which that body will bave after March next, and in this why bronden his reputation and appeal «ance more to the admiration of the people. These are things the speiker is thinking ibout. { ; I Aa magic touch transformed the fipldé, | the rest are swimming for and try what we would, I found no relief. * Dr. Miles' Remedies Restore Health. _ more enemies. than |. s Martin Road Race, Driving Park, 2:00 ¢ tivation. > And merrily sang hel. ~. . .< And like a silver string. the brook Trembled with music sweet- - Enchanting notes in every nook _- For echo to repeat.
