Professor C. M. Harding, together with his assistants and school, took possession the new school building yesterday morning in Wellsville. On March 9, 1891, the old building and its contents were destroyed by fire. The people immediately decided to erect a building on the old site which should equal in conveniences, beauty and sanitary conditions any building in Western New York.

The building, which is built of brick and stone at a cost of $25,000, contains ample grade and recitation rooms, a large laboratory, a pleasant library and an assembly room for chapel, literary and other exercises, which has a seating capacity for over six hundred.

An Indian lady's jewelry was weighed on one occasion and it was found to turn the scales at thirty-five pounds.

Le Roy, Nov. 7. The growing salt industries of Le Roy, Warsaw and other places are a splendid illustration of the effects of a protective tariff. It is indeed ditlicult matter to understand why any man who is at all interested in the growth and prosperity of Ie Roy andthis section salt producing region, can vote the Democratic ticket. In event of the success of the Democratic ticket, one of the first tariff acts would be to place the salt on the free list, removing the duty from it.

The reason seems to be that inasmuch as 6alt is very cheap anyway, the Democrats would be enabled to get something on the free list. Only a few years ago, salt was unknown at Le Roy. The town was in depressed condition. The census of 1SS0 showed an increase of tuny one person, Salt was discovered soon after that time and some enterprising local business men felt encouraged to begin its manufacture, there lucidly being a duty on salt under a Republican administration. A large amount of capital was invested and salt iu large quantities was placed on the market.

Eng lish salt was soon on the decline, which, without a tariff, the English manufacturers could have reduced so low that Le Roy nnd Warsaw manufacturers would be forced to go out of the business, throwing large number of men out of employment. During the 1SS5 Democratic administration that party was unable to get the duty off of salt and in 1SS8 the election of Harrison put new life in the manufacturers of Western New York, and to-day thousands of workingmen are at work in the extensive plants that have sprung up. They spend their money in their home towns thus improving trade and adding to the condition of the place. Le-Roy has enjoyed a large and steady growth. The capacity of the LeRoy Salt Company's plant is being increased, new buildings are being built and several acres of land have recently been purchased upon which new wells are to be located.

In Wyoming county alone some $11,000 is paid out weekly for labor, and so far over has been paid at Warsaw for labor. Thousands of acres of land in this vicinity overlyinsr salt deposits are yet to be developed. When this territory ia developed sufficiently so that all the salt this country needs can be supplied then no tariff will be needed. The Ijehigh Salt Mining Company of Scranton, has but commenced the mining of salt in this place. Its extensive plant was started but a few days ago.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars were paid out to the farmers and wrorkingmen in the vicinity of the shaft, and it is the company's expectation to commence the manufacture of soda ast in the near future when hundreds of more men will be employed and it will be still another great advantage to LeRoy.

ESTIMATES OF THE COUNTIES Registration Argument in Wayne County Court A Lyons Protection Argument Last of the Mass Meetings Notes and News. There was an Interesting argument in tSb county court at Lyons yesterday, relative to the right of certain residents of the towns of Lyons and Huron to vote to-day. In Lyons. Mathuis Hopp, a resident of the Bath soldiers' home, who has always voted in Lyons," had been stricken from the registry in the second election district, uLfi-e the loniocrnts had, accidentally, a majority of the registry board. lie was re-htstiited without opposition.

I limp GiiliiTu. a nojrrov and John llrundage. also residents of the second district, wl had been kept from regis- terins by the advice of the in spectors referred, to on the ground that they had forfeited their residence here, were also re-instated, it being shown that while they had been out of the district on a visit, they had never thought of relin quishing their residence, where they are living now, and have Uvea ior years. Counsel for the Democratic committee, the recently converted T. W.

Collins, tn nrr.ro that Tlriindnge had forfeited LiS residence because his wife had recently deserted him, 'and pending the establish-j ruent of new quarters he had had to sleep out of the district a few nights. Aiicnaei O'Brien, a railway man who was away from home on the registration days, but whose name was on the poll list and should have been copied, was reinstated. The Democrats tried to have the names of three voters in the town of Huron stricken from ihe registry list. Judge Norton decided that they were entitled to vote. ().

F. Thomas, the president of the Manhattan Silver Plate Company, whose factory is located it Lyons, replies to a misleading article published in the New York World, as follows: The "World asserts that this highly protected industry pays its employes beggarly wages, and cites the case of a lad named Connors, who has been recently aided by some of the charitably disposed people of Lyons. The boy is a cripple, and up to three weeks ago was an inmate of the county house. He obtained a place in. the factory, as a beginner, and of course at a beginner's wages.

He is nothing more or less than an appren-1 tioe, and draws about the pay usually given a lad learning a trade, in. his case about 2.00 a week. Mr. Thomas points out that mnnv of the skilled operatives of the factory are paid as high as SIS a week and some of them even more. lie ventures the assertion that the World has boys in its employ at as low a wnge as any one is paid in the Manhattan works.

The address, of non. Frank Hiscock of Syracuse at the Sheppard opera house in Perm Tan was well attended last Saturday evening. Mr. Hiscock spoke for nearly two and one-half hours. He gave a very clear and forcible explanation of th wild-cat" system of banking; among other things saying that a vote for the Democracy this fall, was a license to counterfeiters and counterfeit money; when a workingm-an was paid off on Saturday night he could not tell how much he was going to have for his wages on Monday morning, as many of them, nay the majority of the working classes did not have the means to secure a Thompson and many times they found themselves nigh penniless when Monday came." Mr.

Hiscock closed his address by remarking that if all the so-called stay-at-homes" could be brought out Harrison and Ileid would be elected by an, overwhelming majority. Ilalph Sheldon, a well-known resident Lyons, who has been studying medicine at tih Albany Medical College, returned to Lyons yesterday to He 6ays that the Albany county committee went to the college and offered $10 to every student who would agree to go home and vote for Cleveland. All the Democratic students promptly closed with the offer, but the l-publieans did not bite. A few days later a man called on every Republican stndnt and offered to pay him $10 if he would remain in Albany and lose his vote. Mr.

Sheldon says that some of the students are poor, and that the temptation was probably sufficient to catch some of them. Mr. Sheldon's statement is taken about hero to show that the Democrats have plenty of money, to be willing to pay $10 for all the half votes they can get. -As has been his custom for years the Hon. E.

L. Pitts, of Medina, closed the campaign with an address iu Bent's opera house there last evening. His speech was one of the best of the many splendid Republican addresses with which Medina has been favored during this campaign and the immense audience which filled the opera house listened with attention for nearly two hours to the eloquence of their fellow Ireceding the. meeting the 1oh1 chi! and several visiting clubs participated in a grand torchlight parade, a display of fireworks added to the brilliancy of the scene. Republicans claim tho conruty by Democrats only allow 1Z.

Your correspondent's impartial estimate is 975. Last night the Republicans of Lockport have their final parade and mass meeting. This time city people only took part in the parade but nevertheless they made a splendid showing. Last Friday it will be remembered that many clubs from out of the county participated and eclipsed any demonstration seen here in long while. After the procession last evening music hall was quickly filled to overflowing to hear Hon.

Roswell G. Horr of Michigan, Yesterday applications were made before Judge North at liatavia for the correction of the Darien registration, roll. The Republicans asked that two names be added to tl roll; the Democrats asked that one should be added. applications were gran tod by Judge North. Myron II.

Peck, appeared for the Democrats and W. C. Watson for the Republicans. iorc sjiecial wire there. The Western Union through its manager has placed a special wire in the house and the returns will be real from the stage.

From present indications the Republican majority in Wayne county will be in-crwased some over last year aa Chairman Anderson of the Democratic committee concedes Harrison's majority at 2.500 while Chairman Hammond of the Republican committee sajys it will be about 2,700. The prospects are to-day that the Seneca county Republican ticket will be elected by a well-defined majority. The usual Democratic majority is alout 25) to 400, but prominent men confidently predict that quiet influences are at work that will give different coloring to these figures. Lust evening the Sexton Campaign Guards and the Talmyra drum corps took in the last Republican rally before election at Clifton Spriugs. There was a Urge crowd it attendance and clubs from wii be the scene of a lively gathering both the Republican and Democratic r.
