Mrs. John Wagner, of Philadelphia,
died at her cottage at Crystal lake at
1l.30 o'clock Saturday morning She
had been sick week Four sons and
a daughter survive her. Tney were all
at her bedside. One of her sons is a
captain in the volunteer army at Camp
Alger He was here on a furlough on
account of his mothers illness. The
body will be taken to Philadelphia. The
funeral will be held Tuesday.
Albert Crane and Albert Rutherford

canoeing expedition on the Delaware

sleep in tents. They carry a complete
camping outfit with them, as well as
hunting and fishing accoutrements.
They anticipate a very enjoyable as
well as beneficial trip.
Misses Harriet and Anna Hutchins.

stopped the contractor from using in
ferior material in the work. Then
they went upstairs and found the
council room door locked, and they
kicked again because former men,
bers of the council did not turn over
their keys at the expiration of their
term of office, and it was even proposed
to kick" the door in. Then they
kicked" about the secretary because
he was not present with the keys and
books, and one of the members was
sent after the secretary and keys. He
was gone longer than some thought
necessary and they kicked about
that. He, however, finally returned
with the keys and the door was opened.
Whether or not they expected to find
the lights and hydrants, together with
map of the borough in the council
room is an open question, but they did
not find them. Then some of the men,
bers kicked" and claimed that no
special meeting of the council had been
called. That they were simply to meet
and go around town together. The
minutes of the last meeting were read.
and it was found to be as claimed
by some of the 'kickers." The chair
man, however, called the meeting to
order and stated that the object of the
meeting was to decide whether or not
some of the lights and some of the hy-
drants should be cut off in order to
curtail the expenses of the borough.
Mr.. stanton quickly responded by
making a motion that all lights should
be cut off. This did not appear to meet
the approval of anybody else, and was
not seconded. Mr.. Swick suggested
that the lights on Main street, in the
middle of the blocks, between Rush
brook and Bacon streets, be removed,
also that the light at the extreme
lower end of Main street and the light
at the extreme easterly end of "R"
street on the East Side and four hy-
drants, to be located later, be cut off,
thereby saving the borough about four
hundred dollars annually, and this did
not appear to meet the approval of the
members. Mr.. Moon thought it would
be good plan for the borough to own
their own light plant. Mr.. Walters
thought that if committee were to
be appointed and wait on the water
company. that they would make a re-
duction in the present price of hy-
drants, but the majority thought that
the people right they should communi-
| cate with the council. After a long
| line of talk, the matter was laid
over until the next regular meeting
and all went home probably feeling
| better for having had an opportunity
| to air their opinions.

A BAKERS DOZEN.
How the Custom Originated of Civ
ing Thirteen for Twelve.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Away back in the first half of the
seventeenth century, when Albany, N.
Y. was merely a Dutch settlement,
there lived in that town a man with
the modest little name of Baas Eolck-
ert Jan Petersen Van Amsterdam.
B. V. j. p Van Amsterdam was a
baker and famous. He was the inyen-
tor of our gingerbread boys and Of
special New Years cakes filled with
caraway seeds. Van Amsterdam was
the most popular baker in Albany, be-
cause his bakinCs were good. IJe is
reported as having been good himself,
great churchman, and if little
stingy, no one dared say so.
Now, on New Years night in 1854
Herr Van A, was watching the old year
out, and thinking of the good sales he
had made, when there was a sharp lit
tie tattoo at the door. The latch was
RAISED, and in from the cold stormy
winds of the Hudson blew a little old
woman, very old indeed. She came
right up to Eaas, and said IN a high,
cracked voice:
Give me a dozen New Years cook
ies."
But when l3aas had counted them
out fer her she set up a perfect howl,
so that the people said next day that
the wind had been very shrill that
night
"A dozen! a dozenv" she cried. You
| have given me only twelVe!"
Then the frugal Dutohman lost his
temper and asked her out, and away
she went. srumblirg, and with her
went all Of Baas Volckert Jan Pieter-
sen Van Amsterdam's good luck.
| The very next day his bread fell, the
yeast soured, his cakes burned. Then
| things grew even worse. Whole bak-
| inGs would suddenly be drawn ND the
chimney. or fall through the oven to the
| cellar. Bricks were torn from the fire.
place and thrown st the poor Dutch
man.
Then the old woman came again. but
Baas was not to be moved--he would
not give thirteen for twelve-and away
flew the witch. After this his wife be-
came deaf, his children fell i'll, and at
lost, broken in spirit, on the third and
last visit of the old woman, he gave
her what she asked, and prosperity
came back so fast that every one mar
yeled.
All the custom OF Albany flowed into

the extra cake, ana the other bakers
had to adopt the custom established
by their leader.

TO BE TESTED IN COURT.
Prospective Litigation Over the Let
ting of a Contract.

City councils had a hot time Satur-
day night. They met in joint session
and let two important contracts in a
very unusual manner. That for paw
ing River street. Park Place, Sixth
avenue and South Main street went to
Blair & Kennedy for $197 a square
yard for paving, As cents a foot for
,urbing and Ia cents foot for re-
setting curb stones. They were s6S2
higher than Coon & Lindsay, but were
given the contract because they are
local bidders.
The last named say they will carry
the matter to court, Notwithstanding
the fact that the city's advertisement
reserves the right to reject any or all
bids. They are thoroughly in earnest
and the city will evidently have to de-
fend a suit.
The contract for eight fire hydrants
was let, but not according to specifi-
cations which call for frost cases.
The bids were: John E. O'Hara, $24.-
30; j. o. Frost & Son, S2095; f. w.
Dilts & Co.. S26.75; Eddy Valve Co,
S25. These included frost cases. These
without were: F. w. Dilts &, Co, S24;
Eddy Valve Co., S2250. The last
named company was awarded the con-
tract because it contended the frost
cases are unnecessary and gave a bond
guaranteeing their hydrants for ten
years.
There is a possibility of litigation
over this contract.

vious year was, of course, chiefly due
to the increased demand for our wheat
and corn, the increased export of all
cereals amounting in value to some
$40, 100000. The increased exports of
iron and steel was Sl4,0O0,000; in bicy-

900, and in lumber and manufacture
ing articles in wood s5500,000 We
have already in a previous issue re-
ferred to the gratifying excess of our
exports over our imports. This
amounts to $1,2S1, TAI, ,S51 for the past
five years; and there is special signif-
canoe in the figures when we bear in
mind that the period has been marked
by depression and various influences
which have tended to disturb business
confidence.
