Choice Collection Gathered and Owned by Mrs. Joseph Moore. WORK OF ONE WOMAN Specimens From Every Land and From Every Ae, Quaint and Unique, All of Interest, Many or Great Price Steuben County. Corretpondeoce of Democrat and Chronic'.

Corning. Dec. 30. There is a collection of historical relics in this city, consisting of several thousand specimens from almost every inhabitable part of the globe. In ome instances there are curios of almost priceless value.

This unique and valuable stock is owned by Mrs. Joseph F. Moore, who has traveled extensively. In her travels she has personally gathered most of her wonderful collection. Many valuable specimens have been sent her by friends from different parts of the world.

Among all her treasures there are none Mrs. Moore prizes more highly than those relatitfg to the early days of this country. Mrs. Moore has a large room, finished in oak, where she has the relics, and here every piece is carefully labelled and the history of each she can relate in a most entertaining manner. She accepts nothing unless genuine, and in deciding this she is an adept.

Mrs. Moore had a tempting offer from one of the commissioners to exhibit her rare collection at the World's Fair, but fearing damage in transportation, declined the offer. Through an invitation by Mrs. Moore to visit her exhibit of curios, the Democrat and Chronicle correspondent is enabled to giv Jin idea of this famous collection. There are pieces of George Washington's writing desk and of the Washington elm under which tieorge Washington stood when he took command of the American army in 177, a piece of the stairs, over which General Isaac Putnam rode his horse in giving one of his famous orders: piece of the crape vine that grew over the grave of Columbus at St Domingo; a draughtmnn's square, made from the wood of the colnn of Naioleon the Great at St.

Helena. There are miaerals in tlieir rough state which, if converted into polished gems, would almost ontshine the famous gem collections of Oriental potentates. There is a piece of Sennacherib's palace at Nineveh, build t2J3 B. C. and found by the great archaeologist and scientist, Sir Austin Henry Ijayard, in his recent excavations and explorations in that very ancient capital.

A piece of Diana's Temple at Ephesus, adorns the collection and this is a mst beautiful piece of marble. There are also a piece of I'ompey's and numerous other specimens from Egypt and Greet-e, including pieces of the Pyramid of Cheops and the sphinx at Ghizeh. Kgypt. There is a handsome piece of Pentelic mirblo from the Parthenon at Athens. A relic of the dead is found here in a seara-bcis.

taken from a mummy case in ancient Egypt and there is even a part of the loth which was used to wrap ibis ancient and possibly illustrious citizen of Kgypt, 4.U years ago, after he died to become a mummy and with the mummies stand. There is a piece of David's temple, built in Jerusalem ttuo B. C. a tear bottle from Tyre, Phoenicia, which is 2.H) years old; a piece of a Vikintr ship, buried in 10 A. and exhumed in IS; some plaque enamel work on o.pjier, nie of the lost arts, a rare specimen indeed: a cabinet and other fine -specimens of lacquered ware and jwrttery brought from Japan by one of Commodore Perry's men when the Mirt of Japan was first opened in 1KV5; a pici-e of the famous sacrificial stone used for centuries in tiie City of Mexico, where human lives were offered up in sacruice; Hint knives used by the Swiss lake prehistoric relics years old.

There are a collection early Hitman coins, of re't value, includini; the famous "Widow's Mite." known ns the Ile- i brew Septon. a very rare relic dated A. D. collections of coins and stamps from all over the globe, many of which are centuries old. There are many interesting relics from the Holy Land, from the Sea of Galilee, Mt.

Lebanon, Mount of Olives. Garden of Gethsmane. Hebron, Bethlehem. Jerusalem, Bethany, and mosaics from the mosqrte Omar at Jerusalem. The Grant relics is considered very rare and valuable.

There is a piece of the fnmons Blarney stone of Ireland. There are bones of human l-ingi from the catacombs of Paris, and a piece of rose garnet, found in Mexico, near the spot where Era-leror Maximilian of Mexico was executed by Ix'ing shot. One relic which Mrs. Moore prizes highly is a piece of the monument erected by Koliert Burns in Scotland in memory of "Highland Mary." Space could not -be used to enumerate more of this very remarkable collection of curios. It will increase in value to scientists, historians and as time roils on and will remain ns a lasting proof of what one woman can accomplish.

A Snag First Thing. When the board of supervisors of Steuben county passed a resolution changing the Time holding town meetings from the fourth Tuesday in February to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, lMil. and biennially thereafter, it was expected that thLs action would do away with the town nun-tings for the coming spring; but Attorney -General Hancock, in a recent opinion, declares that the board of supervisors cannot, by resolution or act. extend the terms of othce of town officers. It will therefore be necessary to hold two town meetings in on each of the above-mentioned days.

Prominent snnty politicians confidently expect that the couinyi members in the legislature will be abie to get an passed that will extend the terms of office of the present town officers to December 31. If this can be done, it will prove a saving to each town of about one hundred dollars, and will avoid an election for short terms. Atlanta in Line. It seems certain that there will be renewed efforts made to bore of oil near Atlanta. A few years a well was drilled to the depth of about l.lMo feet and it was fully demonstrated that oil veins existed there and that oil could be had in paying quantities, but through lack of funds or enterprise the matter was dropped at that time.

A party of gas proxps-ctors has 1mu quietly making in-, vesications in the vicinity of Atlanta for several dayg and it is understoixl that they have leased considerable territory and are to commence drilling at once. The annual parade of the Cohocton fire department wn held last evening. An effort is leing made by the business men of Cohort on to have the L. W. shoi moved from Klmira to that Hace.

Buyers estimate that one-half the potatoes raised in Cohocton are till in the Ninth Annual Ball of ZenobiaCom-mandery Last Evening. MASONIC HALL, PALMYRA Gursts From Rochester, Buffalo, Geneva, Syracuse, Corninj, Elmira and All Over Wayne County Present to Enjoy Wayne County. The ninth annual ball and reception of Zenobia Commaudery, Knights Templar, which was auspiciously conducted in Palmyra last evening, witnessed a repetition of the usual gathering of the beauty, grace and elite of northern tier society with which these events are always graced. These pleasing social events of the coru-niandery have gradually grown in favor until now their reputation is enviable and extends throughout Westera and Central New York. Over 40O invitations had been issued for the event and the attendance numbered representatives from Rochester, Buffalo, Geneva, Syracuse, Corning, Elmira, Newark, Lyons and other points.

The Ma.sonie hall was employed as the ball room, and through the medium of potted plants, palms and cut flowers, supplemented by a graceful arrangement of lace curtains and Masonic emblems, under the skillful manipulation of the Bickford Decorating Company, of Rochester, the entire scene was transformed into a erfect bower of leauty. Hidden by a bank of flowers and green in the north end of the ball room the celebrated Iossenbath orchestra of ten pieces, of Rochester, discoursed charming inspiration to the dancers. The programme of the evening was inaugurated by a templar drill which was scheduled to Commence at 8:30 o'clock, but the delay usual in such cases was not absent, and it was nearly o'clock before the ir knights in full regalia appeared for the executing of the many novel, inspiring and precise evolutions of the inaugural feature of the evening. Following the drill tle orchestra played the opening bars of a perfectly irresistible deux temps, and in a short time the ball room floor was filled by a Bwaying. joyous assemblage, all mindful of the dictates of the goddess Terpsichore.

From that hour, in the language of Ryrvn, 'twas "On with the dance, let joy be uncounted; no sleep 'till morn, when Youth and Pleasure. meet." At midnight Caterer Bareham, of Palmyra, served a liiinu of the delicacies of the season, after which dancing was again resumed and continued until an early hour this morning. It was nearly 4 o'clock when the orchestra wafted over the scene the strains of the old but ever popular "Home. Sweet Home," and the guests realized that the ninth animal ball of the- Zenobia Cciiimaudcry as a treasure of their pleasant recollections. The officers iu charge of the event and to whom a major portion of credit for the success thereof is due were: Albert Rogers, generalissimo: W.

Lwetl. A ectoral Own WENT TO HIS DEATH IN EARLY MORNING John Dill Instantly Killed on the New York Central. IN TOWN OF PITTSFORD Seen by the Train Crew Just Too Late Widow and Seven Children, One a Resident of Rochester, Left-Monroe County News. John Dill, aged 54 years, a farmer by occupation and for many years an employe of Duane L. Guernsey, who resides one mile cast of the village of Fittsford, was instantly killed at 1:13 o'clock yesterday morning at the Palmyra crossing on the New York Central railroad in the town of Fittsford, and about five hundred feet from his home.

He left his home about one hour before the accident occurred. When questioned by a member of his family as to hia reason for leaving at that time, he gae no satisfactory answer, only that he was going, and that was the last time that it is known he was seen alive, until the fireman, C. Pembrock, of train No. ZXi, engine C21, west-bound freight, saw him a few feet ahead of the engine just before he was struck, but not in time to avert the accident. Other persons in charge of the train were: G.

II. Eighme, conductor; S. J. Holman, engineer, and G. Ambrose, C.

II. Caltliu, Thomas Gullen, train crew. They at once notified Station Agent J. R. Shafer of the accident, then summoned Royal M.

Newcomb, undertaker, to the scene of the accident, and held the train for about one hour, until the remains were removed to Mr. Newcomb" s- undertaking rooms. Mr. Dill was evidently struck in the face by the engine, as it was badly mutilated, as was also one hand. Coroner Kleindienst, of Rochester, viewed the remains about 10:30 o'clock yesterday, and also visited the scene of the accident.

He did not impanel a jury, as there were no witnesses to the accident other than the train employes. The coroner went to Rochester from Piftsford and took testimony from the train crew. As it w-a substantially the same as that he heard at Pittsford, he deemed an inquest unnecessary and granted a certificate of accidental death, caused by being struck by the engine of train No. L1C1 on the Central-Hudson railroad. Mr.

Dill is survived by a widow and seven children. Louis Dill, the eldest son, is a barber in business in Rochester, and the other children. John. George, Caspar, Mary, Charles and Johanna, the youngest of whom is about years of age, reside at home. In Memoriam.

The many relatives throughout Monro? county have received news of the sudden death of Robert Fellows at Ottumway. Iowa. Mr. Fellows was born in Penfieid, October 7, 1S17. He was a brother-in-law of Daniel Penfieid, after whom the town was named.

His grandfather was a general in the Revolutionary army, under command of General Washington, and was on his staff. The Fellows family is one of the oldest in Monroe county. The deceased was proud of his distinguished ancestry. General John Fellows was a close adviser of Washington. Washington had great confidence in his judgment, and frequently gave him command of a division of the Revolutionary army.

Robert Fellows removed to Ottumwa thirty years ago and lierame identified with the growth of that city. There he was held in high esteem and his loss is deeply felt by its citizens. Tuesday his fiftieth wedding anniversary was being observed, when he suddenly expired while seated at the table with the guests of the occasion. Two sisters survive him. Mrs.

Cornelia Hall, of Ottumwa, and Mrs. George Parmenter, of Penfieid. The remains of Mrs. Ellen Walker, a former resident of Chili, were taken to that place for burial Wednesday. Frederick Thompson, of Penfieid, some two months ago started for Texas in search of health.
