After All These Years.

The falling OF barn door on an
aged minister at Macedon Centre, New
York, few weeks ago, has brought to
light information which Il Canisteo
couple have for nearly half a century
tried to gain, and the accident with
the barn door has played one of the
most important parts of Their lives.
Forty-sevea years ago there were
married in Penn Yam Mr.. and Mrs. V.
Reimann. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Kellogg. Ger
tifcates were not granted in those
days unless asked for, and although
the couple asked for certificate, they
never got it, as it was neglected by
the couple, and finally forgotten by
the couple, who moved to Canisteo,
where they now reside.
Subsequently the Rev. Mr.. Kellogg
moved from Penn Yam and all trace of
him was lost. Ever since that time
Mr.. and Mrs. Reimann have been look
in for the minister who made them
as one, but failed to leave written
proof to that effect. Recently they
read an account in Buffalo paper OF
a barn door falling on an aged minis
ter named Kellogg, aged eighty-four
years, of Macedon Centre. The couple
talked the matter over and decided he
must be the same minister who had
married them. An examination of
Mr., Kellogg's records was asked for
and made. Their theory was correct,
and they found that forty-seven years
ago the records announced that they
were made man and wife. The wit,
nesses of the marriage were W. L.
Sutton and sister, of Hornellsville,
N. Y, and as they are still living, the
certificate Of forty-seven years. stand.
ing has been duly signed and received
by Mr.. and Mrs. Reimann, who have
placed it in a frame on the wall oil
their home.

PHILIPPINE REBELS.
sNaE1 to Spill Spaniard's Blood Every
Six Months, at Least.


A large book might be written about
the popular revolts that have sprung
up in the Philippines because of tryan-
nous expressions. In1S76 the natives
lost 5000 Of their best men in rebel
lion against Spain. In 1882 they lost
several thousand more men, and 600
of their leaders were beheaded and
shot to death in squads at the garri-
sons at Cavite as warning to other
sympathizing rebels. The present re-
bellion broke out June, 1897, and was
quelled for time by Spanish troops.
Last January 100 rebels were shot in
the suburbs of Manila. Suddenly the
rebellion broke out again, and now it
seems to be the most general revolt
yet known in the islands. The intent
of this last rebellion seems to be to
rid the Philippines of the Spanish by
any means--whether by dynamite,
poison OF assassination. The natives
hoped for a year or two that Japan
would assume control of the islands
and that the hard, cruel hand OF Spain
would be removed. When they found
that their hopes were groundless they
rose in armed rebellion. General
Schlatter, who was sent to the Philip
pines by the German government last
August to look into affairs there, re-
ported that the japanese are leading
the revolt. There are 1000 Spanish
regulars on guard in the islands. The
insurgents last fall numbered about
46, 900, of whom 1000 were armed with
good guns. The insurgents have few
good cannon cast from melted church
bells and bits of metal that they gath
cred here and there. Msnila, like Ha-
vana, has naturally been in control Of
the Spanish troops, and the insurgents
have been carrying on warfare forty
and sixty miles from Manila, similar
to that of the Cubans about Havana.
In the summer of 1896 the order of
the Katipunan was secretly form ed
among the Malays and Chinese. The
purpose was to remove by blood the
bondage by Spain" The members OF
the order were sworn by CASH across
the left upper arm. With the blood
which issued from the wound the mi
tiate crossed himself and daubed his
mouth and solemnly swore that he
would spill the blood Of at least one
Spaniard every six months. The Span
ish got hold of the plot. BY trials
that lasted an hour or two in some
cases and thirty or forty minutes each
in most cases, 400 Of the persons
suspected as being in the plot were
convicted and shot to death. In the
month of November, 1896, there were
800 executions on the outskirts of Ma
Mia. In one day some Is men were
