In the very front rank of Republican
daily papers, stands the New York Press,
| an advertisement of which is to be found in
our columns to-day. Started three years
years ago in New York City without a sub
scriber, it has to-day a circulation daily of
more than 100000, and is being read by
more people than any other Republican
journal published. Its republicanism is of
the stalwart order, and through its in

the election of 1888 was carried by the Re-
publicans. 1t is par excellent, the protec-

On Tuesday suit was commenced by
Miss M. K. Mullen against j. M. Beckwith,
l.. V. Curry and the city of OwOsso for
So, 900 damages resulting from a tip-Over
on the street. 1t will be remembered that
at the time Messrs. Beckwth and Curry
were building their block last summer, a
pile of sand was i'm the street on which
Rollin Pond drove his carriage one evening
tipping himself and Miss Mullen out, injur-
ing her, so ii is alleged, to the amount of
$1,000. The attorneys for Miss Mullen are
Keller & Keller, of this city, and Stuart,
Knappen d Weaver, of Grand Rapids. The
case will be holly contested, as il is claimed
by the defense that Pond was running
horses at the time of the accident and that
he knew of the obstruction as he had been
for several days delivering stone for the
stores.
On Tuesday morning the Rev. H. II.
Davies, late pastor of the Congregational
church in this city, departed for his new
field of labor in Sandusky city, Ohio. He
had for nearly three years been pastor of
the church here, and in his ministrations
proved himself one. of the most efficient,
earnest and faithful workers in the masters
vineyard that has ever been among this
people. Broad and liberal in his views, a
thorough student, fine platform orator,
everywhere his public utterances command
ed the earnest attention and warmest SYM
pathy of his audiences, both in the church
and on other public occasions. That he
will be sadly missed in this city is certain,
not only in his church but by all workers in
in every department., economic, philan-
thropic and humanitarian, and there are
place in church or in the social and fratern-
al organization in which his labors for the
advancement of human society to the broad
platform where the FatherhOOd of God and
the brotherhood of man is to be the recog-
nized basis of human action, were potent.
He takes with him to his new field of labor
kind regards of the people of OwossO and
their earnest wish that i'm the future, as in
the past. his efforts may result in the social,
moral and religious advance of society.
