The firt known of this to the viilasre was a fw days ago, when tbe first installment of th amounting to l.flfrf), was paid. nn4 the interest on the was asked for. The matter is now being investigated. After September 17th mail will be carried on the West Shore, giving Elba four or more mails a day.

This will do awar with tbe stage running between Elba and Batavia. MEN The Livingston county picnic had its birth in the presidential campaign of 1-W. E. Booth, of Geneseo. conceived tani vear the idea of a gathering of n-s'dents of Living-ton county on a of broaa social and political fellowship.

jester-day's vast assemblage was the outeviaeoi that small beginning four years ago. Jn? interest ia these annual pk-nics and the attendance at each of them have advanced with equal strides. In l''-l" the limit in attendance; in and Inst year the figures increased to nearly double the previous summer. Y'esterday the assemblage proved itself more than a rival of the pioneer picnic at Silver lake. It was a day to be remembered and will add to the ntfnnflr.

Third Regiment the New York Volnnteors. He was ia the fighting lief ore Petersburg and Richmond, takea prisoner at Fort Hayes, and Imprisoned ia Libly prison and. in the tockade at Salisbury, N. C. He was released March 2, lio, by the advance cf Sherman's march to the sea, 'General Stoneman's cavalry Wing at Charlotte, only forty miles distant.

At it will be remembered, loO th Union soldiers who were in the Confederate were burrid in th jvilisbury cemetery. He was paroi-d at Goid-burg. N. Mar-h, 1VS, and tent frora there to Annapolis. which was the parole camp of the Union army.

He was iinally exchanged inar the close of the war. While at Salisbury Mr. Drumrr.ond was selected by his to pre-s-iit their conditions and needs to tb Confederate major-general, B. T. Johnson, at the time he took command of all the prisons of the South in place of 'General Winder.

Judge Drummond said ia part: "Tiurty-nine years have roiled away since the firing on Sumpter called the nation to arms. Thirty-rive yeais have passed into history since the close of the great struggle for the integrity of the Union when Grant and Lee stood under the historic apple tree at Appomattox. After all these years, standing to-day in the presence of this goodly audience, ia that of a genration then unborn, but since grown to manhood and womanhood, and ia the presence of some of the survivors of the great struggle, we naturally inquire why are we here and with what purpose and la what spirit we assemble on this occasion. "We meet not as Republicans nor as Democrats; not as Protestants nor as Catholics, not as the advocates of any political party nor the representatives cf any religious creed, but simply as Americans, only as gol citizens, and above all as old Active Member of Watkins McKin-ley and Roosevelt Club. HE WAS A DEMOCRAT Free-Silver Celusion Drove tbe Lat Oeneral George Alagceand HUSoo, Eoth Leading Business Men, Over to Safe Side Schuyler.

Colonel' John Magee. of Watkins, whose business oifices are located in Corning, has joined the McKinley and Roosevelt Club, of Watkins. Mr. Magee was a Democrat, but could not indorse Bryan's silver policy, and, like his father, the late General George J. Magee, who also could not indorse the Bryan silver policy during the last national campaign, has joined hands ith the IU-publicans in the interest of national prosperity.

The late General G. J. Magee, president of the Fall Brook railroad, was one of the most stalwart supporters of the Democratic party ia this state during the days of Samuel J. Tilden, and later, when Grover Cleveland, David B. Hill and the late Ros-weil P.

Flower were high ia the counsels of the party, his financial support made him a conspicuous fgure in New York's Democracy. Later, when Bryan hoisted his free-silver flag on Democracy's ramparts, he could not honestly support his policy, which he believed would work disaster to his larpe business interests, and, consequently, he repudiated Bryan and voted for McKinley. Colonel John Magee, who assumed the management of his father's business interests and became president of the Fall Brook railroad, holding such position until it was dispose! of to the New Y'ork Central Railroad Company, about one year ago, has had a rare opportunity to see the prosperous condition of the country tinder President McKinley's administration, and in consequence of wishing to continue such prosperity he will aid in the election of the Republican ticket next November by casting his vote for William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Magee is president of the Pardee Coal Company and other business interests, which employ many men, and his policy on election day will make it possible for him to insure a long life to his present business interests, and, in like ratio, have plenty of work for his many employees, thereby benefiting himself and his workmen.

YATES. Defect in Building Might Have Resulted in Loss of Armstreng Cottage. The H. K. Armstrong cottage on Lake Keuka, near Haight's landing, had a narrow escape from burning up Wednesday.

Smoke began issuing from some unknown place, and the location of the fire was only discovered when it broke out through the chimney. Whea the cottage was erected some wooden pieces ia the chimney were left uncovered by the brick, and the fire resulted from this cause. The fire was extinguished before it did much damage. The Tourlotte Art Company, of Addison, has decided to locate in Penn Y'an, and has rented the Root homestead on Seneca street. Herbert E.

Van Deventer, aged 40 years, died Wednesday at the home of his father, Russell Van Deventer, la the town of Torre. Catarrhal consumption is attributed as the cause of death. Wednesday in Penn Yan, by the Rev. D. II.

Palmer. Miss Netta Willoughby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Willoughby, of that place, was united in marriage to Roy Cone, of Corning. Charles Moon, the boy in Penn Yan who was arrested and arraigned in two police courts on the same day recently, on tbe charge of larceny In one and burglary and larceny in the other, was discharged yesterday in each case, the complainants failing to appear against him.

The steam yacht owned by H. S. Stebbins, formerly superintendent of the Lake Keuka Navigation Company, was shipped to him at Seattle, Washington, this week. It was securely anchored to a long, heavy gondola car, and completely built over with matched lumber. The freight charges it is said will be about Wednesday, before Justice of the Peace Fiero, of Penn Yan, and a jury, was tried the case of Mrs.

Sarah Habberfield against Mrs. Flora Wolcott. The suit was brought to recover damages in the sum of $20 for forty-three chickens, which Mrs. Habberfield alleged were poisoned by the defendant. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.

GENESEE. "Well-known Le Roy Man Caught in an Elevator and Badly Hurt. D. C. Howard Prentice, a member of the Le Roy Power Milling Company, which operates a large flouring mill in the village of Le Roy, had a narrow escape from death yesterday and was seriously injured.

Ia the mill is a large freight elevator, and Mr. Prentice was oa this going up to the third story of the building. His left hand was on the cable which shuts off the power. He did not realize that he was so near the top until his arm was drawn between the cable and the large drum oa which the cable winds isleft. He was therefore powerless to stop the elevator and his whole body would have been drawn over the drum, had not Mr.

Waldron. who was neir, seen the accident and stopped the machinery. Mr. Prentice's left arm was fractured between the elbow and shoulder and the nesh badly lacerated. He was taken to the office of Dr.

J. F. Cleveland, where the fracture was reduced, but it will be a long time before he will again have the use of his arm. Interest a Surprise. Another matter of interest to the taxpayers of Le Roy has come to light in regard to the settlement made by the village with the Le Roy Gas Light Company about one year ago.

When the village turned the gas and electric plant back to the Gas Light Company, it agreed to pay the sum of in rive annual installments which was understood by those in authority to be full restitution for the use and damages of the plants, which the village had operated for two years. It was understood hv the village authorities who compromised with the gas company that the wus not to bear interest, and the transaction as recorded on the village minutes says nothing about the amount bearing interest. It appears. Immense Attendance at Annual Livingston County Picnic PLENTY OF PLEASURE Good Music, Notable Speakers and Lonj List of Lively Sporla Kept tha Visitors Happy All D3y Livingston. Yesterday was IJvingsion county picnic day at Couesus lake.

TLe designation is au appropriate one, no other could convey an adequate conception of the multitude that thronged Long Point. Livingston county was there with its wives and its children and its friends. Every of the pleasure teekers had an estimate to make upon the f-ize of the crowd, and they were ail agreed upon one point, that was a low Lgure for the day's attendance. The truth probably fell short of that. Fifteen thousand would be nearer right.

The crowd, with all its numbers, was a good-natured one, bent on making the most of the twelve hours allotted it. It overran Long Point, chartered every boat to be had, made excursions ia ail directions, but always wandered back to the center of interest to joia the other-thousands, who surrounded the pavilions and the tents and the benches and tables at the point. The attractions, and they were without number, never failed for a lack of sjiectators. The man with the canes and the dolls, the man with the fchooting gallery, the tintype veuiers, the merry-go-round and the side-show exhibitions, all were there and all did a thriving business. Almost before daybreak jesterday morning the trst comers made their arrival at Long Point, From that time oa a steady stream of vehicles and bicycles lined the highways leading to the lake.

Geneeo, Mt Morris, Dansviile and other neighboring villages were fairly depopulated by the exodus. In the first named town the business houses throughout closed their doors for the day. It was next to impossible to secure transportation by livery, engagements a week ahead precluding that, and the result was that every known means of conveyance was drafted into and rather than lose the day, many made the trip on foot. The occasion was aided to by the presence of nearly every politician Livingstoa county knows. Both the Republican and Democratic county nominating conventions are to occur during the first part of September, and the prospective candidates made the county picnic a rendezvous and put in the day in conferences.

At 11 o'clock the excursion boats bearing the throngs who had taken, advantage of the special trains on the Erie railroad, reached the point. At that hour the programme proper was opened, and from that time on the day was full. Through the afternoon and evening the Citizens band, of Dansviile, and the Geneseo cornet band entertained the visiting thousands with continuous band concerts. Tho aquatic sports occupied the latter part of the morning and until the noon intermission. At 2 o'clock the speakers of the occasion were announced, and the large tent auditorium was filled with auditors and overflowed upon the surrounding lawn ia the ten minutes preceding the introduction of the orators.

The debate which followed, upon the issues of the present campaign, was the center of attraction for two hours. Horn Wallace Bruce, of Brooklyn, represented the Republican side of the question; Hon. Thomas Carmody, of Penn Yan, the Democratic, and Hon. Oliver W. Stewart, the Prohibition.

The speakers were enthusiastically received and were accorded close attention. At 4 o'clock the Wadsworth Hose Company, of Geneseo, gave an exhibition drill before the pavilion. This was the company which carried ofT first honors in drill and inspection at the Livingston county firemen's convention at Dansviile last week. Their performance yesterday testified to the good judgment which awarded them the honors at Dansviile. The field events occupied the closing hours of the afternoon.

These were limited in competitioa to residents of Livingston county only. There were a large number of entries, and the merchandise prizes offered were well earned by the contestants. The following officers had charge of the athletic event: Committee on games, F. L. Starrett, E.

O. Durfee, L. B. Smith; referee, E. W.

Ilorton; inspectors, James O. Shepard, John De-Camp, James Frazer; judges, W. Fielder, S. E. Hitchcock; srarter, Martin Burke; timers.

It.

During the afternoon a yacht Tace for the cLampionsaip of Conesuj lake and for a silk pfennant presented by Herbert Wadsworth, of Avon, was sailed over a five-knot triangular course, off McTherson Point, station of C. L. Y. Club, to buoy off Eagle Point, to buoy in Old Orchard I'oiut cove, to starting buoy at place of tginning.

Four yachts were entered: Anemone, owned by S. E. Marks, of Rochester; PetreL owned by Commodore Herbert G. Williams, of Rochester; Thelma, owned by C. I', and F.

T. Bascom, of Rochester, and Deno, owned by H. Dens-more, of Washington, D. C. The Petrel distanced her competitors and covered the course in one hour, forty-five minutes, winning the race and the pennant.

An elaborate display of fireworks ia the evening concluded the long list of attractions. Even after the last night excursion on the lake steamers had returned, the crowds were loath to depart from the point, and it was a late hour before the last of them had taken leave. Tlie day's event was a success from every point of view. There was no end to the entertainment offered the pleasure seekers. The provision made to supply the visitors with suitable refreshments during the day was excellent.

Sheriff Miller and Deputy Sheriffs Thompson, of Geneseo, and O'Lvary of Mt. Morris, with a corps of assistants kept the vast crowd in order, and there were few arrests made. The 5eers bad their eye on several suspected pi kpo kets. but the in were warned ami remained on the eastern of the lake. Interest in Veterans Encampment Increases Each Day.

The trip will last four weeks. This is a sample of the way people plan to take an outing on beautiful Sodas bay and at the siime tin: "take in" the veterans encampment and enjoy the fun. The morning train was met at the Lake Shore station by the steamers Cyclone, Ideal and Sunbeam and the Hose Cadet ban As soon as the train stopped the band struck up "Hurry Field" and, as the steamers left the dock fur Camp Pond, was playing "Dixie March.

Sanford, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, of Waterloo, took for hi subject "Why Should the American Soldier be Prais--d," and it was a fine oratorical production? He said: "That the soldier has a place ia the heart of the American public goes without say-inr. His achievements, and the difficulty of his position and the results to humanity, make him a personage of Importance. TLe beginning of the life of the American soldier must be traced to the beginning of American history." The speaker spoke of the French and Indian war and followed ia some measure the various wars in which the United States has been engaged, showing the hero ism and devotion of the American soldier to his coud try's highest interest. He dwelt upon the fact that the common soldier knew the Interest for which ho was fighting and felt that it was his personal Interest. "While the American conflicts hare never been for conquest, yet they have invariably resulted ia the enlargement of American territory, and the American soldier has neTer regarded himself as a conqueror, but as a patriot.

Therefore he has always arraigned himself on the fide of tho government. When we consider the marvelous development of the United States, both as to its internal growth, its commercial interest and its bearing upon the history of the world, we are amazed at tho results growing out of the heroism of the soldier. Nor have the American people been entirely unmindful of the debt which they owe to this soldier. Special legislation has been provided guarding him in his rights as an thee holder, providing pensions for his helplessness and age. While some have contended that the soldier, like any other hireling, receives his wages and tnks his chances, yet a grateful republic has decided to that he is entitled to consideration beyond mere wages." The speaker, during his remarks, called attention to the fact that "the American soldier was just a common, every-day man.

recruited from the ordinary walks of life," and as an illustration he told of the boy whom General Shafter found in one of the trenches, ia th late Cuban "TLe boy was tinder a collapse from fear. TLe general tried tx encourage Lim, ordered hin' to 'a rise" sal there i3 no danger. Rut the boy cried he was afraid of beic killed. general seized him by the etopd Lim on his feet and told him, to beih After one or two shots, the boy forgot his danger, settled down to -work like a veteran. I the.

Gridley was almost suffocated by a pillow pushed over his head and mouth, after which Le was tied to the bedstead with bis hands firmly bound together with strong rope.

Search was made of the premises in every nook and corner, even to the bed and mattress, but they could find no money, and then satisfied themselves "with helping themselves to a lunch. Gridley was in his cramped position until rescued several hours afterwards at sunrise by neighbors. There is not much clue to the daring tramps, but it is known that they had been loitering around in that vicinity for several days. Cohocton Justice. Wednesday afternoon a criminal case was oa trial with a jury in justice court, at Cohocton, in which Mrs.

Ella Stone and Minnie Briggs, of Wayland, figured as defendants. The charge was disorderly conduct and disturbing the public peace at the village of Atlanta. Michael Honan, is the complainant, and he alleges that the defendants applied profane and abusive epithets to him ia public places and departed themselves in such a manner as to disturb the peace of that quiet and orderly community, and all because the complainant objected to their proposition that his wife should accompany them on a little pleasure trip. The jury promptly acquitted the Briggs woman, but, after deliberating until late in the evening, was unable to agree upon a verdict in Mrs. Stone's case.

The jury was discharged, and a new jury has been summoned to try the case next Monday morning. Right Kind of Republican.

MONROE. Report of a Pittsford Soldier in Prison for Treason. Chester A. Boakes, of Pittsford, a private of Company Fourth Regiment of Infantry of the United States, has been charged with treason and sentenced to serve forty years at hard labor. His parents, Cornelius and Mary A.

Boakes, reside in Pittsford and have not heard any particulars aside from the telegraphic dispatches frora Washington. Two weeks ago the family received several letters from Chester, in which he spoke several times of some trouble, but did not state what it was. Y'oung Boakes was born in the town of Mendon nearly twenty-two years ago, the eldest son of a family of ten children. He attended school at Pittsford until he was about lo years old, and after that was employed ia various ways, mostly as a day laborer. He spent considerable of the time at home, but was of a roving disposition, although he would not stay awav long at a time, as he said the feeling -to go home and see the folks" would come over h'm, and go he must.

He was a kind-hearted boy and had many good traits of character. July 20, IM'S, he enlisted from Michigan as a private. of Company of the Nineteenth Regiment of Infantry, and went to Porto uo where he remained until the following April, when he was honorably discharged. He arrived Pittsford early in May, and remained until July i 1SU0, when he left there and eulisted in Company B. Fourth Regiment of Infantry, and went to the Philippine islands, where he has been ever since.

He wrote often to his patents and sister until October 31st, when the letters ceased to come until he wrote a letter dated March 111, 1000. The last letters were received about two weeks ago.

We meet in that spirit upon this glorious summer evening at a time when, as a nation, we are at peace, and when the old flag, for which these comrades have so nobly fought. Coats over a united country from Portland oa the east to Portland the west.

Rut these fathers have long ago gone to their reward, and the.e mothers have, for many years, been sleeping ia the church-yard.
