He graduated from Union College in 1833 ana for a time was a teacher. He took a private course in theology at Schenectady and was admitted to the presbytery at Albany, being installed as pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church there on Feb ruary 9, 1S37. Dr. Huntington had the distinction, as pastor of the Albany church, of belonging to neither the old nor the new school, having been ordained befoi-e the disruption came in 1837. This is a thing that cannot be said of anyone surviving him in the same sect" Dr.

Huntington married Miss Anna Euphemia Van Vech-s ten, of Schenectady, and when Bhe died he married her sister, Miss Katherine Yan Yechten, who now survives him. For nineteen years Dr. Huntington was pastor of the Albany church and it prospered. He became influential and widely known among the ministry.

Huntington retired from active service and from that date became professor emeritus. Not only as a teacher but as a librarian of the seminary, and at the head of the beneficiary funds.

He and his family gave liberally of their funds to aid tne seminary in the hard struggle that it has had for its existence.

Dr. Huntington's figure has been a familiar one on the streets of Auburn for years. In the last eight years of his life he rarely missed a day, rain or shine, but that he took a walk or a ride on the trolley cars. One and all knew him and he was kept busy acknowledging the salutes of the people who met him. ONTARIO.

Republican Caucus. and Convention at Geneva Last Evening Named Ticket. Republican caucuses were held in the six wards of Geneva last night followed by the city nominating convention. There had been a sharp campaign waged before ha ml, and the caucuses were the largest attended of any ever held in the city. The strife was between the factions of the party led on one side by S.

D. Willard and C. S. Coddington and on the other by Francis Flynn and City Judge It Wyckoff, the former nominally known as the old crowd and the latter the new crowd. The strife was over the nomination of a candidate for mayor and the other municipal offices.

M. F. Blaine was the candidate of the old crowd and David 11. Henry the candidate for mayor of the new crowd. The result of the caucuses was an overwhelming victory for the new crowd.

The vote for the head of the ticket in the different wards was as follows: First ward, Henry 101, Blaine 49; second ward, Henry 150, Blaine SO; third ward, Henry 142, Blaine 04; fourth ward, Henry 104, Blaine 39; fifth ward, Henry 128, Blaine 22; sixth ward, Henry 1G1, Blaine 12. These votes were for delegates to the city convention favorable to the candidates mentioned. Aldermen were also nominated in each ward, the party division being about the same as on the head of tho ticket. Two aldermen were nominated from each ward as follows: First ward, W. T.

Cass and A. L. Buchholz; second, G. It Travis and H. O.

Inscho; third ward, J. 1. Vance and J. H. ltigby; fourth ward, C.

W. Fairfax and T. B. Ottley; fifth ward, J. Henry Daykin and P.

H. Becker: sixth ward, Fred Shelansky and J. D. Lake. City committee men were also elected from each ward.

After the counting of the votes in the caucuses of the various wards the delegates elected to the city convention proceeded to the common council chambers, the city convention was held. Surrogate J. F. Quay called the meeting to oTder. Surrogate Judge George F.

Dit-mars was then elected chairman, Joseph F. Quay, secretary, and Fred G. Seibel and Peter It Cole, tellers. The first business was the election of delegates to the county convention to be held to-day at Canandaigua. The following were chosen: F.

A. Malette, Francis Flynn, A. II. Her-endeen, A. It Wyckoff, George F.

Dit-mars, Adam Michaelson and Frank O. Hofman. Nominations for the city offices were then called for. J. F.

Quay nominated D. H. Henry for mayor and he was choson unanimously for the office by the convention. All of the rest of the ticket was likewise nominated unanimously, and included Conrad Wehnes for president of the common council, Francis Flynn for city treasurer, and Frank C. Hofman for supervisor.

Mr. Henry, the nominee for mayor, is st present alderman from the second ward, and has served in the common council since the organization of Geneva as a city. Mr. Flynn has also been the city treasurer the same length of time, while Mr. Hofman is the present city assessor.

LIVINGSTON. Contest in Surrogate's Court Over Note for $10,000 Signed by John Hyland. A matter of importance was brought up In surrogate's court at Geneseo yesterday, District Attorney Charles II. Row presiding. -On February 1, 1900, John Hyland lay seriously ill at the Hyland hotel at DansviUe, Mrs.

Margaret E. Clark and daughter, of the same place, called at the room of the sick man. They claimed in surrogate's court yesterday that on that day Mr. Hyland gave Mrs. Clark a note for $10,000.

During the following May she presented the claim to the executors of the estate of Mr. Hyland, who rejected it two months later, after examination, and offered to leave it to a referee. The rejection was made because the executors held that the signature was not genuine, and because the claimant Mrs. Clark, makes no claim for yalue received. Yesterday the executors, Fred vi.

Noyes and Tracy Scoville, both of Dansville, moved that the note be deposited either at the county clerk's office or at the Dansville Merchants' and Farmers' Bank, so that they may inspect it Attorneys for toe claimant, J. U. and O. W. Stevens, of Hornelisville, opposed the motion, on the grounds that their client did not wish the note to be subject to any examination as to its genuineness without herself or attorneys being present but she was perfectly willing to have it examined in the presence of either of these.

District Attorney Rowe decided to compel the depositing of the note, the terms of which are to be agreed upon at a future date.

Scattered over the Mils -and through the valleys of Genesee county are a number of country churches which -were founded by the early settlers of the section, And which these earnest hearted people labored to sustain by libral contributions for many years, giving one-tenth of their income and never murmuring, but rather taking pleasure iu so doing. Soma of these remain now and stated services are held in them each week or once in two weeks, either by a regular pastor or some supply. There are others where nothing remains but the church edifice wherein the forefathers of the present generation worshiped, now forever at rest in the little country churchyards across which fall the shadow of the spire, as a finger pointing heavenward, a reminder of the life above. Among these churches Is what is known as Asbury, Chapel, located about four miles northeast of Le Roy. This was one of the most flourishing churches of the section a number of years ago, while- to-day the building stands merely as a monument of the past, somber and weather beaten and fast going to decay, while those who labored hard for its.maintenance and gave liberally of their worldly goods to build it, eleep' in the little churchyard, not far unmindful of the desolation and ruin being worked by the elements as time goes It is not because the territory about there has been abandoned that this state of things has taken place, for there is not a farm about there but what has a family living upon it, as prosperous as former land holders.

The true cause of this state is undoubtedly ihe same as that which has in a measure depopulated the country town and caused the cities and villages to grow at the expense of the smaller places. Many of the people of this parish now go to Le Itoy village, while other farina are owned and occupied by those who express no preference for different denominations. Thftre are many living to-day within a 6hort distance of Asbury Chapel who know nothing of its history or how it came to be built- nearly three-quarters of a century ago, and to such a little of the history of this bid monument of the past will be of Interest. It was as early as 182-4 that a few religious people of Le Itoy banded themselves together and formed a class known as the Third Society of the M. K.

Churth of Le Roy. This society first met at the home of Isaac Walker with Jonathan 'IIusted as circuit preacher and Hirani Hasted as leader. It was apparent that the seeds thus sown did not fall on stony for. the society continued to grow, and the final outcome of this band of faithful ones was the building of the church edifice previously mentioned. A little book, hand made and musty with age, was recently brought to light, which contained the" names of the first members of this society and also some of the laws which -were to govern this religious body.

On the first page was the name of the society and this was followed by the following wordst Friday immediately preceding every quarterly meeting is to be observed as a day of fasting and prayer." "Within the pages of this old book are recorded the following names of the then Isaac Walker, Alba Smith, Mary Smith, Jemina Smith, lhoebe Lent, Hiram Husted, Parnell Ilusted, Fuller, Catherine Fuller, Betsy Coe, Polly Valance, Eliza Mills, Joseph Smith, Prudence Smith, Betsy Webb, Anna Walker. Catherine Near. During the vear 1826 the class saw many changes, some having movea away while others joined other lasses. members were added, how- ver, so tnat the class did not lose much strength but rather gained, and at this iime was penned, the little book the following motto: "Fear not, little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." At a meeting of the class held on December 7, 1831. it was decided to incorporate as a religious bodyto be known "The Second Religious Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Le Roy," and Isaac alker was chosen a junior with Lyman Mills, Harley Hubbard, Henry Near and Simeon Crocker as trustees.

The society was legally organized the same year and a copy of the deed shows that the edte, on which the church now stands, was purchased of Seta Mills for the sum of $20. The present building was erected In 1832 and was remodeled in 1855. At the time the church was first trailt the men of the congregation occupied the benches on one side of the church and the women on the other. -When the church was remodeled the pews were arranged so as to accommodate whole families. Finally there came a time when differences arose among the members and from that time the society began to lose strength, -until, about fifteen years ago, regular services were given np, part of the members going to Le Roy to worship, others to Caledonia.

There have been other efforts made to have services held there, but with no lasting effect, and the building now is but a reminder of the past Another church of this class Is one at Roanoke. This however, is used for Sunday-school sessions and occasionally there are Sunday services held there, the different Le Roy pastors taking turns in conducting the same. Still another, is one at Pavilion Center, which, as a church, was abandoned many years ago and is now used as a dance hall and towa building. At Pavilion village, a church of the Unlversalist denomination was far many years a flourishing one and continued thus until the building of one st Le Roy in I860, when this began to decline and was finally abandoned. Llred to Four Score, Merritt King, a well-known resident of Le Roy, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs.

Superintendent of the Foor Albert E.

Lee, of Lockport has received a letter from Charles SomerviUe, of Mansfield, which is the climax of a romance, tinged with sadness, involving a pretty little blue-eyed girl of five summers. About a year ago a woman known as Mrs. Jacquette was killed by the trolley cars at Niagara Falls. She and her husband were theatrical people stopping for a time at Niagara Falls. They had a daughter, Marguerite.

The day after the mother's death, the father disappeared, and all attempts to learn his whereabouts have proved unavailing. Whether he was driven insano by his wife's tragic death, or whether he was indifferent to the fate of his only child is not known. The little one was taken in charge by Superintendent Lee who intended to place her in the Lockport Home for the Friendless. But Mrs. Lee and her daughter, Miss Grace Lee, were so affected by the sad fate of the pretty little stranger, that ithoy took her into the home circle at the county institution.

She is a very attractive child, unusually bright intelligent and vivacious, so they thought of adopting her. But Superintendent Lee heard somewhere that her mother came of a good family, and that Marguerite's grandparents were wealthy so in justice to the child he made a careful investigation. At the Falls he found a Mr. Truesdale w-ho said Mrs. Jacquette nsod to correspond with a Mrs.

Thomas McGinn, at Johnsbough, Mr. Lee wrote to her and in due time Mrs. McGinn informed him that the mother's maiden name was Belle SomerviUe, and that her parents lived at Phillipsburgs, Pa, Superintendent Lee then wrote the postmaster at rhillipsburg and was in turn advised by him that Mrs. James SomerviUe, of that city, might be able to give him the address of little Marguerite's grandparents. He wrote Mrs.

SomerviUe immediately, who replied at once. (She said that Belle iSomerviile lived with her parents at rhillipsburg, but ran away to Johnson-burg and there met and married a Frenchman named Jacquette.

The funeral of the late Jacob A. Gut-brodt one of Niagara's oldest and well-known citizens, was held from the Gorman Zion's Church, in Niagara Falls, yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. For forty-seven years he resided in Niagara Falls, and for thirty-sir years of this period he was proprietor of the Frontier house on Whirlpool avenue, only recently renamed Fallsview hotel. He was numbered among the earliest of Niagara's landlords, and years ago he kept the old American hotel that occupied the site of the present Silberberg block, on lower Main street With his declining years he became possessed of a determination to once more visit the Faderland. He longed to look upon the scenes of his childhood and say a last farewell to loved ones across the ocean.

In February last he sold his hotel property and went to New York to sail for Germany. Owing to his enfeebled condition he was refused passage on the steamer Patricia, and with a heart full of sorrow was forced to return to Niagara Falls. In March his condition was improved, and he secured passage on the steamer Lahn. Instead of being beneficial, this ocean trip was harmful, but he visited with his relatives and then boarded the Queen Louise for America, reaching home July 7th. Once more the strain of the ocean trip was shown, and he continued to grow weaker end weaker until he died.

He was born in Pfullingen, Germany, October 2, 1834. When he came to this country he settled in Buffalo, lie is survived by two sisters, one brother, two sons and a daughter.

The man was not arrested, because, after looking up the law, it was found that the only party who could have that done is the Dake Drug Company, of Rochester, which firm Evans claimed to represent. The chief and Mr. Kelley gave him a good talking to and told him to get out of town at once. This he did yesterday.

What is known as the Snow farm, in the vicinity of Kenney's corners, was the scene early yesterday morning of an animated affray, but the trouble ended without any serious injury to the participants. August Wegman had occupied this farm for some time, but several months ago it was sold by Mrs. George C. Snow to a family named Pepper. Wegman had planted a field of several acres to wheat and in the bill of sale no provision was made for this.

Therefore Lon Pepper and August Wegman both claimed the wheat and could reach no satisfactory settlement in regard to it Pepper recently had it cut and shocked. About 3 o'clock yesterday morning Wegman and several of his friends proceeded to the field with teams and wagons to remove the grain. It is said that he had taken legal advice about the matter, and was informed that the grain was cut he was entitled to remove it under the circumstances if he could. However Pepper thought he would give him a warm reception and proceeded so to do, assisted by his friends. It is said that shots were fired from a revolver at the Wegman party, and that pitchforks and other farm implements figured prominently in the melee.

Pepper endeavored with his wagon and teams to get some of the grain under cover in his barn, but all those that tell the story seem to be of one opinion that Wegman secured a much larger part of it than did Pepper. The affray has been the talk of the day by everybody in that vicinity. Law suits may follow, as both factions have their blood up. Mrs. Ann Bruen.

of Penn Yan. died Sun day morning, after an illness of only about twenty-four hours, aged 73 years. The fifth annual reunion of the Egleston family will be held at Egleston'a glen, near Lake Keuka, August 3d..
