LOOK UP MR. HARRIS. Pointer for the Stock helders of the Can1steo Gas Company. The last number of the American Gas Light Journal contains the following item which will be found of interest: A certificate announcing the incorpor. ation of the Canisteo Electric and Fuel Gas to manufacture gas and.

electricity for use for public and private purposes in Canisteo and Hornellsville, N. has been fled. The incorporators are: Win G. Porter, Levi S. Davis and Wm T.

Bailey of Canisteo; H. Harris, Washington, D. John W. Trim of Brook lyn, and John W. Farquhar of Buffalo It 18 capitalized in $50,000, and in looks to be something on the order of the celebrated plant at Mayeville, Ky.

All that is is that those who are asked to invest money in this scheme should hunt up the antecedents on Mr. Harris." TRACEDY AT BATH. 4, Barber's Unbalanced Mind Probably Led Him to Take His Life. BATE, Dec. 1 -Henry B.

Williams, a barber, chirty five vears old, was found dead in his room at 9 o'clock this morning with a bullet hole in the left side of the chest. It is clearly a case of suicide, as he was lying across the bed and did not seem to have moved after the shots were fired. The po ition of the body and the direction of the bullets indicate that the wounds were self inflicted. It is said that for some months past Williams had behaved strange ly showing evidences of an unbalanced mind. An occurrence, said to have hap pened last Tuesday, may have been the immediate cause which led to the deed On the morning in question Wiluams went to the house of Mrs.

Averell on Steu ben streetjand insisted that Mrs. Straight who is employed there, should accompany, him to Elmira on the noon train Tuesday. On the refusal of this request he drew a revolver and threatened to shoot her, but she escaped from his presence. He return ed however, and repeated his threat to kill Mrs Strait. After reaching Elmira he sent a telephone dispatch to the effect that if she did not come to Elmira 00 a certain train he would return and carry out the threat he had made A warrant for his arrest was obtained and an officer was sen to Elmira Wednesday, but Williams could not be found.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams with their son occupied a part of the Magee house on Steuben street, and atthe time of the trag edy Mrs. Williams was visiting her parents near Savona, It is not known just at what time he returned home, but it is thought to have been on Wednesday evening, when the shooting probably occurred, though no one heard the shots, and the body was not found until this morning, when Mrs. Wil liams came home and discovered it as stated.

Coroner Horton was summoned and arrived this afternoon, when a jury was em panneled. The body was viewed and the inquest adjourned until tomorrow morning. Reports of foul play are current, but there seems to be no foundation for such a theory. -Elmira Advertiser. The Old and the New.

Cohocton Index His Complaint.

It 18 not expected that every person will be familiae with medicai phrases, but an incident occurred in Belmont a few years ago which was very ludicrous. An old soldier made an application for a pension which after 8 time was granted. A neighbor heard of bis good luck and not knowing that he was disabled, asked him on what ground his pension was allowed He promptly answered the question, "On my byena." On what said the neighbor my hyena," replied the old man, with considerable emphasis, "I have to wear a truss all the time, and I got breached at the battle of Bull's ye, if ye want to know all about it."

The pail bad touched the instrument which was powerfully charged with electricity. This mischief was cause 1 by workmen who were stringing a telephone wire on Depot street and the wire happened to drop on the trolley wire. -Camateo Times.

Well serve 1 Praise. While in Hornellsville one day last week, by invitation of Principal W. R. Prentice, we visited the academy, and were not only greatly plased by what we saw, but were made to feel that Hornellsville has a system of schools of which she may justly be proud. Through the kindness of Prof.

Prentice we were taken in room, of which there are nine, and shown some of the work done by the pupils The last room was the main room, with a visited large seating capacity. At a given signal, the students arose, faced about, and by the aid of music, marched and countermarched up and down the aisles, then out of the room. It was a grand sight, and must be seen to be appreciated. And right here, we venture to remark, Mr. Prentice would be glad to welcome anyone from Alfred wishing to visit his school, and we guaran tee as cordial a welcome as he gave us.Alfred Sun.

Story of Almost Incredible Brutality that Comes from Cortland. A special to the Bingbamton Leader from Cortland says: The most inhuman crime that this ion of the state has known for a long time just came to light in the case of Merwin L.

Pudney of Virgil vs. Arthur Donohue of Cortland, for alleged abduction of the former's daughter, May. Pudney claimed that Donohue and an other boy came, about two weeks ago, to his home, over the town hall at Virgil, and took his daughter away without his consent. As she failed to return he swore out a warrant for the boys, who were arrested. The trial was held before Justice Dorr C.

Smith yesterday, and it developed some sworn statements that makes the old man wish he let matters drop. The daughter proved that Donohue and she had been married since the alleged ab duction, and that she left home of her own free will. She also proved that she was sixteen and one-half years of age, instead of as her father had claimed. Donobue is only nineteen. When put on the stand the girl told tale of brutality too horrible to publish She stated that as long ago as she can remember her father had seduced her, and when 13 years of age she left him and went to work at Middletown, where she remained till the first of last July, when she returned to her father.

She states that since her return she hag fought desperately against him, but he has overpowered her. Great public indignation is felt. Pudney is keeping under cover, and he did not attend the trial yesterday. Donohue and his pal were discharged and the girl desires to let the matter drop, as she is now married. The citizens want the case pushed, but it has been adjourned indefinitely.

REAL ESTATE ENTERPRISE OZ Three Now Streets for the decond Ward. Alrbough this has been year of string. ency several new enterpe.ses bave been inaugurated and successfully accomplished in this city. Among these we will mention an portent development of building. Mr.

M. Chaddock bas during his twenty years residence in our city made real estate principal business, and he has heretofore opened up and gave Ransom street the first ward and Seymour street in the fourth. During the last winter he succeeded purchasing through the agency of M. W. Hawley.

Esq, two vacant tracts of land, which are considered by many, the two best tracts for building purpose inside the city of Hornellsville. One of these tracts was purchased the Grotty estate and lies in the sixth ward on the South side of Howard street. Three new streets were opened up through this tract, VIS Summer street, Sutherby avenue and Bird avenue. The tract was mapped and surveyed by Henry Bates into thirty-two building lots. Seventeen of these lots have been sold this St ason, two nice residences have been built and two more cellars have been dug.

This tract 15 beautifully situated on gentle rise of ground, which gives a fine view of the city and is very convenient for railroad meg Hornellsville is largely railroad city, and as a matter of fact this tract is being purchased almost entirely by railroad men. The other tract was purchased of Miss Charlotte Jones and was the last piece of real estate in this city owned by the heirs of Alexander Jones. The second tract is located in the second ward, east of Jay street and north of Maple street. llere, Mr. Chaddock has opened up this fall two streets running easterly from Jay street, and connected them by a third street on the east end, thus making three streets on the tract.

He has had nearly one thousand loads of dirt, mostly excavated from the Main street pavement, drawn onto this track, and thus at considerable expense these three streets: are graded very nicely. The tract has been mapped and surveyed into twenty- building lots, which on account of their size, heighth of ground and convenience to the center of the city, must necessarily cause them to be much sought after by those who think of build ing new homes. There is every reason to believe that within the next two to five years this tract will be covered with fine residences and thus be an important addition to the city of Hornellsville. I. 0.
