'The Andersons then took their turn, but (lid not do as well as their opponents, securing but 5 runs. There were many marked features of the game.

THE PUBLIC MEETING LAST EVENING 'FEXDED TO SHOW HOW SECURELY WE ARE IN tHE POWER OF STATE OFFIC- IALS AND THAT LOCKPORT MUST SOON HAVE A WATER SUPPLY OF ILLS OWN. 'The public meeting held at the Coun- cil Chambers in the City Building last evening was well attended, showing that the people of this city were very much alive to the importance of the question which had been the cause of the gathering, namely the prospect of the city being left without a water sup- ply during the contemplated repairs of the canal. City Clerk Van Valkenburgh in the absence of Mayor Peterson called the, meeting to order and read a communi- cation from Mayor Peterson designat- ing Alderman Huston as Mayor pro tem. Alderman Huston took the chair and after stating the object of the meeting called on citizens for their views and suggestions. In response to a request | by those present George B. Thompson gave the substance of the letter receiv- ed by him from State Engineer Adams. 'The communication which bas al- ready appeared in full in this paper, stated that there was a pretty defi- nite chance of the water being drawn from the canal for perhaps five months or during the repairs contemplated in the deepening of the canal and the put- ting in of the lift locks at this point. Ar. Thompson gave some good sound advice in regards to the important mat- ter and was followed by Messrs. Hon. James Atwater, Hon. James S. Liddle, Hon. John H. Clark, H. S. Chapman, C. 'T. Raymond, W. 'C. Ransom, I. H. Bibcock, and W. H. Andrews and Sena- tor 't. E. Ellsworth, . Senator Ellsworth displayed consid- erable knowledge of the relative rights of the State and the city in relation to the canal and according to his state ments the city is entirely at the mercy of the state officials who have in charge the improvemnts, and also that the city is and always will be in the same position as long as they de- pend on the Erie Canal for water sup- ply. He stated that the city should be up and doing and try and obtain a water supply of its own, and be independent of the State or anyone else, but in this connection he also laid stress on the fact that the powers conferred by the Charter were inadequate and the Legislature not being in session at pre- sent, nor any prospects that they would be until January ist, made matters more complicated. He mentioned the proposed water sup- ply canal and said that that, or some other method would eventually become essential to the welfare and prosperity of the city. It seemed to be the senti- ment of those present that the Senator had done them considerable of a service in pointing out how securely the city was in the hands of the -State officials at any and all times. ' 'This power is too absolute for the city longer to trust itself to those powers which by scheming politicians might be put to uses for their own personal ends. The Senator's remarks were atten- tively listened to and no doubt opened the eyes of those present as to the pres- sing need of independent action on the part of the city for its own protection. The meeting finally adjourned until Monday evening by which time the Mayor will probably have something definite to report from Superintendent Aldridge with whom he was in consul- tation yesterday. Mayor Peterson seen by a Union-Sun man said: \I was at Rochester yester- day and while I did not see State Engi- neer Adams I saw all the rest of the people in charge of this section of the canal and from what I couldlearn from them I am of the opinion thatLockport will not be allowed to suffer for water during the repairs on the canal, but will have sufficient for sanitary and fire purposes.\ George B. Thompson of the Thompson Milling Company was seen by a Union- Sun reporter this morning and asked for his opinion of the matter. ~ Mr. 'Thompson said: \If the outcome of the public meeting last evening results in nothing more than arousing our citi- zens to the great néed of a water sup- ply independent of the Erie Canal for sanitary and domestic purposes it will gels; good thing that the meeting was eld. \A city of this size and intelligence should not depend on such a supply when it has no local control of the f - « ® Talk JULY 10 lwater excepting such as comes possi- bly through political favor. I believe that State Engineer Adams as a public officer is doing his duty in desiring to ' do the work and make theimprovements on the canal at the least expense to the State and he should be commended for } his prudence and regard for the interest , of the taxpayers of the state, but I have + been in hopes that the welfare of our city, which unfortunately it seems has grown up under the influence in a meas- ure of the canal water power, as well 'as the health and lives of our inhabi- - tants which are involved, would weigh | sufficiently with the State authorities so as to give us at least enough water during the progress of the work to afford protection from fire and pesti- lence that might follow the entire with- drawal of the water. : \From what was said last eening at meeting I should infer that the State had been very generous towards Lock- 4 port with regard to the use of water from the the canal.\ tL soUTH ROYALTON. The Fourth passed very quietly. Farmers were busily engaged in hay- ing. The German Lutheran Church of Wolcottsvillle held a picnic on the 4th. The pastor and' others delivered ad- dresses. 'There were singing and re- citations by the children, ice cream, candy and lemonade were served. 'Those who attended, enjoyed it very much, The pleasantness of the picnic was spoiled somewhat by a slow driz- zling rain in the afternoon. Mrs. Alson Covel visited her invalid sister, Mrs. Wheeler of Buffalo last week. She reports a slight improve- ment in Mrs. Wheeler's physical con- dition. It is sincerely hoped that she may recover. She is a capable woman possessing literary ability, which might be used to © benefit humanity could her life be spared. Miss Mable Schad of Lockport is visiting at her uncle's Mr. B. D.

Their hopes in the long neglected cleaning of Mud Creek, have been revived, as two of- ficals, supposed to be state surveyors, passed through here yesterday, look- ing after the interest of the matter. 'The district school closed Wednesday with exercises of singing, reading and speaking by the children. Miss Stumpf has faithfully performed her duty as teacher and we regret to part with her. 'The little town of New Scotland, so named from its Scotch inhabitants, South-East of Akron, raised its flag over the school house a few nights ago and then the patriotic citizens marched to the boarding place of the teacher, Miss Elva Hoag of Royalton, fired a salute and hurrahed for the little school ma'm: of Scotland. Miss Hoag weighs a little over 80 pounds.

DOMREMY HAS CHANGED BUT LIDNTLE SINCE THE MAID ~OF ORLEANS DAY. Domremy has changed but little dur- ing the four centuries and fourscore years which have rolled away since Joan of Are was born.. It was a farm- ing village in Joan's day; it is a fariming community still. Jacques of Arc (Joan's father) was a prosperous farmer of the village. He owned his modest home and some twenty acres of meadow, field and woodland, and had an income of about one thousand dollars a year. He was a much respected citizen in the small community, performing many of those duties now relgated to a mayor, or a justice of the peace, and entertain- ing, in a humble way, the pilgrims who passed along the great highway. It is truly said that great characters are the children of unusual mothers. Joan of Are was no exception ito this almost universal rule. Isabeaun of Arc was a woman evidently far in advance of her village associates. She had a brother who had been educated for the clergy; she possessed some little prop- erty in her own right; and what was, perhaps rarer still, she signed her name with the title of Romee, only taken by those who had made the pilgrimage to the eternal city. The family of seven, three sons and tivo daughters, lived in the vine-covered cottage beside the mill on the plot of land adjoining the church. 'The house has scarcely changed since repaired by | one who knew Joan, and were it not for the sculptured details above the door, the tall spruce trees which shelter it, or the well-kept inclosure, there is nothing to distinguish it from the other farm-houses in the village Ashband Hopkins in July Ladies' Home Journal - Ar.
