Taken from the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle of Monday.


Rev DR.. and Mrs Robinson have re-
turned from Rochester, where they had
gone to attend the funeral of Mrs.

to her memory is from the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle, of Monday.

Its hungry search must be in vain"

row that has in her departure come to an
exceeding number in this community,
Very few are those who in the dear and
gracious relations of life have been so
much to so many, and mutitudes there
be who, though not bound to her by any
tie OF blood still feel her death as though
IL We're the taking away of one Of their

now-and-then impulse, but a constant
piness, was ever happiest in making 9TH

ostentation, but instead the desire to nelp
the humble and needy. ana who priced
wealth for its opportunity of generosity
and its power OF charity: whose beneV-
olenCes, though they sought secrecy, yet,
because of their very number. could not

and devotion was the prelude to duty.
In her religious life there was the same
beautiful simplicity and absence of all

later in her own welded home There in
happy marriage and happy motherhood,
all the wealth of her unstinted love had

1t is lives like Mrs. Hart's that make us

That she today is less than we,
That death can hold within its thrall

dent Of the Merchants and Mechanics'
bank, at the corner OF Jefferson ave-
nue. and Green Ridge street. 1t Will
cost I'm the neighborhood Of $4,000
The building Ia to be of buff Indiana
limestone, dressed and with no rock
faced work. The architecture is to be
executed in the style taken from the
transition period when the gothic was
giving place to renaissance. The
former will be the general plan and
the latter the detail style. The same
scheme is shown in the Albright library
building. Edward II. Davis is the
architect and Conrad Schroeder the
builder OF the Williams residence. The
latter's contract, however. does not in
clude any OF the finishing work which
has not been let.
The house will front on Green Ridge
street. 1t will be 100 feet in length
and 76 feet in depth. A stable of the
same general style of architecture will
be built in a corner of the lot and will
be reached by a driveway along one
side and the rear OF the house. The
area of the lot is 100 by ISL feet.
A WIDE PIAZZA.
A piazza sixteen feet in width will
extend along part OF the Green Ridge
street and the whole of the jefferson
avenue side of the building. On the
latter side will be n port cochere 16
feet wide and 90 feet long, the outer
point of the former dimension being "a
feet from the main structure.
The hall, into which the mosaic
floored vestibule will lead from Green
Ridge street, will be ample in its area
of 16 by A feet. From it a monu-
mental double stairway will lead 70
the third floor. The hall will be OF
mahogany finish and of the same de-
sign as the extent of the building.
To the left of the hall will be re-
ception room, to be finished and fur
nished in empire style. This room
opens into a Turkish den and alcove
The library will be at the right OF
the hall, and further to the right will
be the dining room. This apartment
will be panel wainscoted and will have
a beamed ceiling. In the rear will be
kitchen, buttery, pantry, lavatory
and other rooms.
On the second floor a family suite
will consist of a chamber. boudoir anG
private bath. Two chambers on the
opposite side of the house will each
have a roomy dressing room attached
A maids room, linen room and bath
will also be contained on this floor.
Three guest chambers, a servants
room, sewing room, cedar closet and
a billiard room will be on the third
floor The billiard room will have q

mems societies, and OF the organizn-
tion of new societies composed entirely
of women. He also favored q change
of the constitution, which will provide
for ritual service In connection with
the initiation of members into societies
connected with the union. The report
was filed.
The report of Secretary Mclaughlin
showed that there are 65 societies on
the roll with a total membership of
$3.50. Forty-four Of the societies are
composed of adults with a membership
Of 1886. There are eighteen cadet So
cities with a membership OF 1850 and
three cadet societies with 1876 members
During the year four cadet and two
adult societies were reinstated. The
expenses of the union during the year
were s542 and the balance now on
hand is s45l.6O. MIR. McLaughlin's re-
port was filed and a vote of thanks
rendered to the officers for their re-
ports.
TREASURER'S REPORT.
1t was announced that the treasurer
of the union, p. f. Mcdonald, OF CAL
bondale, was not present but that his
report will probably be presented to-
day. The minutes of the last conven-
tlon as printed were adopted.
The matter of the reinstatement OF
the Father Mathew society of Pittston,
| or rather the overturezs looking toward
| the reinstatement of that society, were
then taken up and discussed at some
| length. 1t appears that Rev. John
Finnen " c., of Pittston, felt that An
apology was due to him and the society
from the union in addition to an un-
conditional reinstatement. The board
of government has passed a resolution
of unconditional reinstatement but re-
! fused to make the deserved apologies.
On motion of Michael McGarry, of
Scranton, the whole matter was refer
red to the incoming administration for
settlement. This motion was approved,
| In its report the committee
on constitutional amendment favor
ed changing article four, section
| one, of the by laws to permit
| of increasing the diocesan union
! per capita tax from five to
| ten cents to give the union a greater
working fund for spreading the move
ment This proposition had many en-
| thusiastic champions and many others
We're equally ardent in their opposition
! to the proposition. John Brown. of
| Scranton, moved to lay the motion on
| n table and after vote was taken. but
| before a decision on it was given,
| President LAWN declared the whole
| matter out of order.
THE CHAIR SUSTAINED.
NJ. J. O'Toole OF Scranton, appealed
from the decision Of the chair and
! Vice-President Gallagher was called
! to the chair and put the appeal. The
| decision of the chair was sustained.
! A lively debate over the amount OF

lowed and it was finally fixed at S1OC
