Michael Dunn, one of our most es-
teemed citizens, died in the Medical in
stitute at Albany. N. Y, early on Tues
day morning. One week ago he en-
tered that institution to be treated for
diseased muscles resulting from n long
standing wound in his right arm, and
his death followed an operation for
their removal which his weakened sys-
tenn was unable to endure. His re-
mains were taken to his late residence
on South Main street on Tuesday even
ing by his son, Peter, and brother-in-
law, j. II. White, who were at his bed
side when he died. Mr.. Dunn was 81
years old. He was born in Troy, n. y,
but came to this valley when only a
child, and he spent the greater part of
his life in this borough. He served
with distinction in the civil war and re-
ceived the wound which ultimately
caused his death at the storming OF
Fort Gregg, Il few days before Lees
surrender. Although modest In refer

tragedy, Mr.. Dunn took an active In

Dunn also held several offices in this
borough and had always discharged his

his duties faithfully and well
Mr. Dunn's death occasions general
and sincere sorrow. 1t was impossible
to know him without admiring him for
his rare good nature and his kind and
generous disposition. Seldom, indeed
is there found in one person such &
combination of good qualities as those
illustrated in his life, for he was Q
faithful friend, a good citizen and al
upright man. His funeral takes place
this morning. A high mass of requiem
will be sung in st. Thomas church al
10 o'clock, and interment will be in the
Catholic cemetery.

an air chamber attached where the
spout or pipe of the lamp are connected,
and 1t is attached in such manner no

WAR ON YANKEE CATTLE.
German Agrarians Anxious to Rub II in
on the Importers.

BY the United Press.
Berlin, Nov. THE Agrarian league
has presented a memorial to Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe requesting him to ex-
clude all American cattle shipped to
Germany Oct. 2S. The memorial demanus
that the cattle be returned to the United
States, and that after unloading the
ships that brought them to Germany be
quarantined. The object of the men,
orlal is to brand ex-Chancellor von
Caprivfs decree as defective and so
avoid being compelled to acknowledge
that Won Caprivi had the welfare of
Agrarians at heart.
Though the efforts of Theodore Run
yon, the American ambassador, to OBJ
tain repeal of the measure forbidding
the importation of American cattle
have failed. further attempts will be
made to arrive at an understanding.
