The extra session of Council appointed for
Monday evening, left the street lighting ques-
tion still undisposed of, and with apparently no
nearer approach to fnality than before. There
were only four ouncilmen present, with the
lerk-Mishler, Fsirchild, Furry and Smith.
The Mayor was out of town.
Mr.. Smith reported that this Gas and Electric
Light o. had been waited upon and made ac-
quainted with the action of Council at its last
session, whereby the committee were empowered
! to tender the company a re'execution of the SIS
contract for one year, with proper inspection
privileges on the part OF the town. To this the
Company made no formal or official response
and was unrepresented at Monday evenings ses
sion, held for the express purpose of taking
further action in the matter.
Mr.. Mishler read q somewhat detailed trans
cript from the books of tho Company, by which
its net profits for lighting the streets during 1894
appeared to be in round numbers 81 100. AL
! the members present thought this should be sat
1 isfactory to the company, and agreed that il
was the unanimous sense of the Councilmen
present and absent, expressed at former meet
! ings and still adhered to, to pay no more thar
| the present price of SIS. The City Fathers viii
probably make no more advances to the Com
pany until the latter see fit to take official cog

In 1889 the Enterprise Egg Case Co., of
this place, made an assignment. Shortly
before that event the Second National bank
of Ravenna, being the principal creditor,
levied on the property and sold it to satisfy
their claim. Subsequently the assignee, Fl.
B. Dickinson, Esq, brought suit against the
Bank to recover back enough of the assets
sold as above stated or rather their proceeds,
to pay the wage Indebtedness of the concern
to 80 of its employees, amounting to 1886,
which was alleged to be preferred claim.
1t raised a nice question of law, and was
taken through the Courts to the Supreme
Bench of the State, resulting in complete
victory for the plaintiff, who associated Hon.
NJ. Stuart with him IN the trial of the case,
the Bank being represented by the late Brad
ford HOwland, Esq. The ex-operatives are
now Eaeing paid 81 per cent of their claims.

Quaker Mills are in operation once more,
the product being oatmeal manufactured
for the barrel, or bulk, trade of the American
Cereal Co. Inasmuch as the mills of the
monopoly are all run under orders received
from Chicago, the headquarters of the Trust,
it is to little purpose to attempt any prophe-
cies as to the duration of the present grind.
AS stated last week, the officials in charge of
the Ravenna fraction are absolutely non
commtal in the matter, guarding the secret
with the fidelity of knights of the squaI e
| and compass. In fact the plant might with
propriety be termed " Masonic Mills" The
| opinion is expressed quite generally by some
of the employees, particularly one of the en-
gineers, that the present run will be simply
for the purpose of helping out the spring
| trade, which is already very large, but that
| ultimately these mills will be restored 10
permanent activity. y better piece of good
fortune could not happen Ravenna than for
| Quaker Mills to resume their former activity.
Three fourths of the oatmeal consumed on
the Western Continent bears the Quaker
brand, which, by the way is one of the best
and most valuable trademarks ever adopted.
Ravenna Is known in almost every city, tow n
and hamlet i'll the country through "Quak er
Oats" and having originated and sent out
for years this justly celebrated brand Of
cereal commodity, it seems little short of
| commercial piracy that the reputation an d
trade thus established should be transferred
TO other places. We trust the preseut indi-
cations will Justify the hopes engendered in
| the minds Of our people, but it is - Cereal
Story" liable to be indefinitely continued.
One thing we are assured is certain, the mills
have been Overhauled in every department
and in every particular, new and additional
machinery put in, and the plant placed in
better condition and equipment than ever
for first class operation

The OEM0CHlTIC PRES.
Samuel ID. Harris,

EDITOR OF TIE PRESS When we cast
about aud see how few are now livirg in Ra-
VIENNA thatwere there when we were married,
IN 1886, 1t is accompanied with melancholy
reflections. We can only take consolation
In the thought that they have but taken an
earlier train for common destination
No death has been chronicled in your paper
that will evoke greater and more general
sorrow and regret than that of Samuel
Harris. After an intimate and unbroken
friendship for more than fifty ears, most
deeply do we deplore his departure. We
can endorse every word of the truthful and
merlted tribute 10 his memory published in
your last issue. His entire life has been
spent in Ravenna, and at the time of his
death he must have been the oldest citizen
on the old town plot. During all these years
ms LIE has been a prominent and couspicu
Gus one. He could hardly be called a bril-
liant writer, yet his utterances through the
many years of his editorial work were re-
plete with sound logical argument and good
practical common sense. While he was Il
partisan, he was an honorable, high minded
political opponent, and never permitted his
political bias to interfere with, or influence
his personal friendships, and he despised
deceit, treachery, or any low, mean act with
unuterable contempt. During our struggl,
Tor national existence, his loyalty TO the
laws and flag of his country was unlimited
and his patriotism unbounded. In him thu
poor and sorrowing always found sympa-
thizing, steadfast friend. To his children
and his children's children, he left rich
legacy in the example of an unspotted, hon
orable life and intexible integrity worthy OF
imitation by those who come after him. TIL,
story of his long, active and useful life fur
nishes a picture that Will neither fade MOI
be forgotten.

A rather unusual piece ofrepair work was
completed on the Erie during the past week,
on the long curve east of the depot. The
tops of the rails, by reason of the heavy
traffic, had gradually been pushed outward
causing perceptible widening of the gauge
that in time would no doubt have been d
source of danger. This has been remedied
by AIDING the ties and lowering the inner
half Of the rail.
