through their chairman, Hon. George w.
Nelson, TO deliver one of the addresses on
the occasion and the committee have ia
vorable assurances that Senator Conklin
will also accept this invitation. Other dis
tinguished speakers have been corresponded
with, but no answers had been received at
the time the committee met last Saturday
evening.
The military display it is expected will
be one worthy OF the Empire state, and the
sons of those who conquered their indie
pendence on this soil one hundred years
ago. Besides the seventy seventh regiment
and other veteran volunteer organizations,
it is understood that Gen. Carr will order a
field drill of the Third Division, national
guard, at Bemis Heights on this occasion.
The scene of the celebration will be the

chairman, is grandson Of Capt. John Neil

Moses Strong.

Moses Strong, whose death we chroni-
cled last week, was drowned in the Flam-
beau river 10 trying 10 save the life of a
friend. He was grandson of the late
Hon. Moses Strong of Rutland, and a
nephew of Mis-. G. E. Temple. At The
time of his death he was performing his
duties as assistant state geologist of Wis
consin. The following notice of his life Is
from T, G. Chamberlain, state geologist:
Rarely have we been called upon to
chronicle sadder event than that borne to
US yesterday in the announcement of the
sudden death of Moses Strong, assistant
state geologist. A young man, in the early
prime OF life, in the full exercise of manly
strength and vigorous he tlth, 10 the rich
endowment of O rare intellect, 10 the midst
of active duty, on the eve Of realizing the
first grateful fruits of his faithful labors,
amid tho dawn of promising hopes of
bright future, rejoicing in tho love OF de-
voted wife, fonaly called father by loving
and tender children, devotedly beloved by
parents and kindred, admired by friends,
and honored by the commonwealth to be
thus suddenly called from all these Is an
event of no common sadness. Yet through
this sadness there shines the grateful fact
that his last hour was devoted to the per-
Torrance of duty and the development Of
truth.
The event llnks itself instlnctively with
the fate of DR.. Houghton, state geolosist
of Michigan. who a few years since found
a watery grave beneath the waves of Lake
Superior, while in the prosecution Of his
scientific labors. The two, alike In fate,
will live alike in remembrance because of
the work they have accomplished.
