TOWNsHEND.


The Fourth was perfect day as regards
the weather, and the celebration was one of
unusual excellence from the beginning to
the end. The address at the Baptist church
by Rev. Mr. Hardy, pastor of the Congre-
gational church, was listened to with great
interest by a full house. Prof. Kenyon
played the organ and a chorus of young
people sang appropriate songs with good
effect E. ii. Millers solos were marked
feature of the morning service. Rev. c..
II. Smith of Pittsford, now visiting his
former parishioners here, was present and
participated in the services.
The concert in the evening was a great
success and drew packed house. In ad-
dition to a large chorus of singers Prof.
Kenyon, who had charge of the music for
the day, was assisted by E. II. Miller and
F. o. Mortified, singers, and l. E. Higgins,
cornetist, all of whom were frequently en-
cored and to whom, with Prof. Kenyon,
the community is greatly indebted for an
entertainment of high order, which was
well appreciated by all.
The ladies of the two churches united
in serving dinners, suppers, Strawberries
and ice cream, and right well were we
served. Their gross receipts were about
Sl2j.
The field sports in the afternoon and
the fireworks in the evening afforded much
pleasure to a large number of people, and
happily no accident occurred TO mar the de-
lights of an unusually brilliant and happy
Fourth. Mr.. Fisher of Newfane and Ora
Ober of this place recalled being here at a
Fourth of July celebration just fifty years

A Good Celebration of the Fourth

A Good Celebration OF the Fourth
Our Fourth of July celebration was
success in every respect. The day was
perfect, the attendance was large, and the
program contained such a variety of events
that everybody was kept interested from
s o'clock in the morning till 10 at night,
when the last rocket was fired.
The parade of antiques started at $50
and marched through the principal streets,
after which the crowd assembled around
the band stand and listened to the burlesque
speeches and a short but good address by
Rev. Mr.. Kellogg. After this the following
sports took place:
Potato race, viii Wood, LIST, Geo. Wing

Boys bicycle race, Chas Smith, 1st, C.

Willard and +. d. Kendall, 10 men on
each team. After Kendalrs team had APP
parently won, the teams fouled on the
band stand and the decision was given to
Wizards team at the end of the three
minutes.
At 1: 80 p. NJ. the members of the gun
club began their shoot, which continued
till about 4. The first event, at 10 birds,
resulted in this score: w. Z. Aver, A. j.

Langmaid ). No. =, 10 singles, \. j.
Aver 8, w. f. Aver :, Crosby, Willard and
Robertson >, Langmaid 4. Match at 20
singles, w. f. Aver II, Crosby ii. Other
events were also shot.
The ball game was between two local
mines, and the score was Is to Is.
The fireworks in the evening were very
fine and kept the people interested till
nearly 10 o'clock, when all returned home
after having a good time, willing to wait
till 1894 before celebrating again.
The only thing which occurred to mar
the enjoyment was during some of the ath-
letc sports when the unprovoked assault
elsewhere mentioned took place The
prompt arrest of the assailant and his fine
of 50 and costs was good lesson for
those who fool with John Barleycorn.

QUEER CAPERS
CUT BY THE LIGHTNING IN A RECENT
STORM.

A Lady Attempts to Place aTub Under
Water Spout and Bolt From Heaven
Knocks the Bottom Out Of the vessel
The Lady Escapes Injury.
Lightning cut a queer caper OF the resi-
dence of Mrs. Henry Packer, No. 219
Kimball Road, South Canton, q few days
ago. A storm of vast proportions was
approaching and ominous dark clouds
were visible in all parts of the sky. Light
ming played in all directions and il SEEM
ed as IL the Almighty had touched the
button OF all his electrical appliances and
set them in motion at the same moment.
Mrs. Packer desired to catch a tub of
rain water and procured q tub for that
purpose and was just about placing ii
under the rear spouting when bolt of
lightning struck the gable end of the
house. The fiery fluid entered sleeping
apartment on the second floor and played
sad havoc with the furniture rendering
bed, dresser and all into kindling wood.
The lightning then passed through
another apartment of the house and
terribly shocked little daughter OF Mrs.
Packer. BY this time the uutamed elec.
ricity finished the inside work and took
to the outside, where the strange prank
occurred. The electric current ran along
the cornice of the rear part of the house,
setting hre to the rear part, and then
down the spouting where Mrs. Packer
stood, tub in hand. The bottom of the
tub was knocked out while she still held
the handles OF the tub. Strange as IL may
seem, she was not even shocked and felt
little the worse from facing what sc med
to be certain death. A few buckets OF
water eKtin9uished the flames.

liam =. Martin, ct al,u IL the title OF an
interesting case filed In common pleas
court Friday evening that 10 liable to
cause quite sensation.
The Anchor Tile and Clay Co. organis-
ed last fall and its plant Is at Sparta. The
defendants are all members of the CONS
pAny and besides Martin, William o.
are included.
The petition charges that last March W.
o. Myers OF this city conceived the idea OF
organizing company to conduct the tile
and clay business and he went to George
and Elizabeth Walker of Sparta and got
an option on 100 acres of their farm for
$1,000 for plant. Then he
went to William p. Martin
and together they agreed to get up the
company aud represent that the land was
to cost $4,000. The company was organ
ized in September and Myers and Martin
engineered the business and got $4,000
and $4,000 in notes which Martin took,
alleging that IL was to pay Walker for
the farm. The other members OF the
company all thought that the farm was
to cost $40, 900. but Martin and Myers die
vided the 1000 and pocketed II and then
had Walker re-endorse $4,000 worth Of
the company'9 notes back to them which
they also held as their individual props
erty.
William and Oliver Brady, two other
members of the company got onto the
scheme OF Myers and Martin and they
threatened to give the game away and re-
fuse themselves to pay any more assess-
ments on their stock. Martin and Myers
told them IL they would keep mum they
would whnck up and so they gave them
500 to keep still. The other members of
the company, however, got wind OF the
whole affair IL seems and the petition asks
for judgment against the defendants for
something over $1,000, 5000 that the de-
PENDANTS got on the land deal and 81, 900
as indirect damages, with interest.
