left no alternative. No one wlo cared
anything for the opinion of society
crossed his threshold, over which SO
many had just before been proud to step.
From the midst of social activity most
incessant and delightful Gen. Malone s
family suddenly found themselves
strangers 10 the midst of those who
were ouce their friends. The grass
grew in tho path leading to their door.
The army of servants found no COM
pany to wait upon. The many guest
chambers were untenauted. Mrs,
in public. Miss Mahone's companions
appeared to forget her existence. The
Senator's business affairs fell under
the same blight. Everything in which
he was interested was Stunned by the
men who had formerly been his asso-
ciates and partners. For time resi-.
dence In Washington and service in
the Senate made these blows TALL less
heavily. 1t was thought that time
might soften them and remove all ran
cor, that the ostracism would break
down through sheer injustice. In
stead, it has survived all the passion
of the times, has outlived all the
questions then under discussion, and
hdo Coh1iuueu VII IlS present Oay.
This social and business boycott
brought Gen. Malone to bankruptcy
Last winter he essayed to sell to the
Government piece of land in Wash
lngton. Had he succeeded, his falling
fortunes might have been retrieved.
But the opposition met with at the
hands Of Southern Senators and Rep
resentatives was so relentless that
nothing could be done. Gen. Malone,
tos ave the rights of his creditors. made
an assignment. He is today u bank
rupt, o fading but still proud and
pugnacious old man.

ing ex-lieutenant-general of tne Con-
federacy, was given an informal recep-
tion at Orms's Hall, In Washington on
Wednesday evening by the members
OF the Confederate Veterans Associa-

ladies. The hall was handsomely de-
corated for the occasion, and besides
flags, plant and flowers, many pictures,
relics and war decorations were pen
dant from the walls. The hall was
thronged all the evening, probably
every Southerner of note Ia the city

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM TO RE EN-
LARGED. The board of regents of the
State lunatic asylum have at last
practically closed the negotiations for
and secured the Wallace property in
the angle formed by the present prop
erty OF the asylum IL valuable prop
erty OF los acres, on which stands
four OF the oldest and most historical
mansions in Columbia and in short
time II portion Of Elmwood avenue will
likely be closed, while the asylum
road will be u thing of tho past. The
regents have been after this property
for long time. There are four large
houses upon it, The idea in securing
it was to increase the asylum yards
about one-third their present size and
secure property to erect new main
buildings, which will have to be
erected, Another motive was to close
the asylum road, which runs SO near
the main building of the white women's
department.
The board at its meeting yesterday
authorized DR.. Taylor to close the ne
! gotiations for the purchase OF the prop
erty on the terms secured. The board
found that the excavations for the new
Parker building for colored male pa
ticnts had been practically completed
and would be ready in few days fol
the laying of the foundations. The
board has Il million brick with which
to erect the building The State.

Drennan-HOWSe.

A very pretty home wedding occur
red at the residence Of John brennan
on Wednesday, December 25th, the
most important personages taking
part being l.. ii. Howse, editor of the
Brown City Banner, and Miss Sadie
brennan. At high noon to the solemn
tones of the wedding march executed
by Hattie DeGroat, the happy couple
entered the room, attended by Miss
Ettie Perrin. of Detroit, as bridesmaid
and Will brennan as gr0omsman.
Standing before the minister, Rev. f.
+. Hurlburt, the vows were taken
which bind these two together for aye.
The attire of the bride was of cream
silk, and a bouquet of cream caTna-
tions and hyacinths was carried. The
bridesmaids costume was yellow silk
with pink carnations and hyaoinths.
After the ceremony hearty congratu-
lations were received from the forty
guests present and all sat down to a
bountiful repast which was very salts
flying to the inner man. A short So
cial time was enjoyed and Mr.. and
Mrs. Howse left for the evening train
which would take them to Toronto
Ont, where week will be spent, and
after January 10th, 1896, they will he
at home to ali at Brown City. Numer.

and marked the esteem in which the
two were held. We offer our sincerest
congratulations to Mr.. and Mrs H0wse
and trust theK life may be a happy
one.

BROCKWAY'S FIRE.
NJ. J. Bourke'S Store Building
and Contents Consumed
by the Flames.
The O'Leary Buildings Also
Burned.

Property to the Amount of So. 200
Destroyed-lnsure for $1,000.
1t would seem from the number of
fires which have occurred within few
years that Old Brockway was bound to
be wiped out of existence by this fiery
element. The latest casualty is that
of the store building of NJ. J. Bourke
and the O'Leary building west occu-
pied by VIM McKinney's general
stock and the postotfice.
About nine O'Clock Friday evening
last week the citizens of that burg were
startled by the dread cry of fire. In
trying to break open the door of the
BOurke building the smoke was so
thick that it drove every one back and
the building seemed to be completely
gutted before the alarm of fire was
given. Nothing was saved. The up
per story was occupied by Mr. Bourke
and family who were visiting at the
home of DR.. Cowe when the alarm
rang out. Finding it impossible to
save anything, attention was turned to
the OLeary building used 10y William
Mckinney and most of the goods were
saved although in damaged condi-
ton. Both stores were soon burned to
the ground and the surrounding
buildings saved. The loss to NJ. j.
Bourke is about $500 with insurance
on stock and fixtures, $500, store
building $500, and house furniture in
cluding piano, etc., 5000.
Mr.. iiourke with characteristic en-
ergy has taken the Magner building
east and is now fitting it up for a new
stock which he will open up on Mon
day next. Not to be cast down with
this misfortune he now starts out
again with vigor and renewed energy.
Mr.. Bourke is a genial, whole-souled
hustling gentleman and rs bound to
win.
Mr.. Mckinney is located in the bar
ber shop building west OF his former
location.
A few more such fires and Brockway
will be only name soon lost and for
gotten in the annals of time.

Remembered the Needy.

With the compliments of Il. X. Noble,
flour was distributed to all the minis
ters, widows and others IN the village,
the day before Christmas. Over ton
of -four was thus sent around and ac-
cepted. as it was given, in the true
Christmas spirit. b. Il. says that the
poorest man on earth is the country
parson, the next poorest the publisher
of country newspaper, both having a
hard struggle for existence, so we
came in for our j0-lb sack and mighty
glad we were to get it as the bin was
getting low and no way that we could
see, either by looking abeve, below,
through or across it, to fill it up again

of our heart as no doubt the many
others do who received thie Christmas

Medical Writers.

The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal ca
tarrh must be non-irritating, easy of
application and one that will, by its
own action reach all the remote sores
Of the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past few years proves that only
one remedy has met these conditions,
and that is Century Catarrh Cure. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
Catarrh as nothing else has ever done,
and both physicians and surgeons con-
cede this fact. The most distressing
symptoms yield to it. Will Lennon.

the number of candidates as

this place Lafayette County
has presented 4 candidate who
so nearly meets with the en-
